Hi folks,

Anyone gone private for an early scan? you can't get an early reassurance scan in my area but there is a company - healthcarenow ltd in Edinburgh - that offer early scans from 7-11 weeks for £55.

Anyone been for something similar or know of another route?

I am also having HcG levels done next week but I would like the reassurance of an early scan since I m/c at 8.5 weeks (discovered at 11wks) last time.

Hi everyone,

I'm afarid I can't make the meet as it's my dad's 60th birthday that weekend so I'll be at a nice hotel near Peebles with the family! Have a lovely time, though.

I've booked my 20 weeks scan at Healthcare Now in Stafford St & it's on 27th November. Very exciting!

Hi everyone and hi weeonion, i am ok on sunday!

actually, went to Glasgow fort last weekend, it was quite a good place to shop..:O)

how are you doing lately? i had my blood test done on Monday, midwife said it takes up 10-14days, still havent received my first blood test result yet but nevermind, just have to wait i guess.

I am feeling good, i think i am bigger than i was but when i sent pics to my friends in HK. they replied saying...you look the same as you were before!!!!...i suppose they all think i was chubby!!!..i don't think i am though but i want to look more pregnant..) i love the pregnant look you see.

I am going to the city centre later cos i want to get a dress...) speak soon and you take care!

Anjo1 · 10/11/2006 13:18

hello everyone
hey weeonion !! yes it has gone all quiet on the tartan army front has'nt it ? I hope everybody is okay I'm not too bad starting to have trouble sleeping - was up from about 3.30 am
managed to get some sleep at about 8am antil the phone woke me up arrrgh !!

Trying to buy a house , DP has put in an offer and given an entry date of 01/02/07
honestly I ask you - Am I suposed to be moving house a week before baby comes??
Anyway the seller is being impossible , they are demanding a six week entry date( at this point I suppose i had better mention that our current property has only gone on the market today !!)
so yes -Stress stress stress !!!
Chuszuki hows little Arran ? and you ? hope all is well .
So who is on for Sunday then ?
Vio you're a brave soul, I was going to go into Glasgow today until looked out the window - it's absolutley vile !! hope you don't get caught out

Anjo1 · 10/11/2006 13:20

oh I'm such an idiot , Vio just realised it was yesterday you sent that post - hope you found a nice dress !!

Vio · 10/11/2006 13:28

hi anjo, i know, the weather is terrible today..(

How are you ? apart from being so stressed...i know buying a house and selling your own property at the same time can be stressful...hope u are well and stay happy...
i have problem sleeping at night too...stimes i would get up like 4am going to the loo then couldnt go back to sleep..i think it will only get worse when my bump grows bigger and bigger..nevermind,,i feel lucky being pregnant..

weeonion · 10/11/2006 19:31

wayhey - we have more contact on here
glad we are on for sunday - i am looking forward to it! but make sure to bring brollies!

i feel sorry for you with house buying / selling. i think we will be in this flat for a few years before i can face it again!

Vio · 10/11/2006 20:23

hey, should we confirm the time and place to meeet again ? just want to make sure and who will be joining ?

Anjo1 · 10/11/2006 21:04

geordiemacminx · 11/11/2006 18:18

Sure we'll all find each other - but for ref I'm about 5"1 with longish reddy brown hair... oh and I have a bump... not sure where that came from mind you

Vio · 11/11/2006 20:07

hi, see u all there tomorrow then. I am about 5.4 tall, long hair with a small bump...i am sure its easy to spot me cos i am a pregnant chinese woman.

weeonion · 11/11/2006 22:30

LOL i will be there as well. i am 5"5, RED long hair with a growing bump. like you GMM -i'd like to know how that came about!!!
not sure if anjo can still make it but i'll check here before i leave 2morro. trixy might be along dependant on the house situation!
quite exciting??!!

have a good evening - i am doing a clear out of clothes and shoes. breaking my heart!

trixymalixy · 12/11/2006 10:24

Hi guys,

I hope one of you checks today before heading out to the Fort so you're not sitting around waiting for me.

Was feeling like cr*p yesterday, so got absolutely nothing done on the house. I'm feeling better today, but really need to get on with things so I'm afraid I'm not going to make it to the meet-up.

Hope you have a good time!

weeonion · 12/11/2006 11:17

no worrries trixy - i know what it is like. hope you are feeling better today and hopefully we'll get to see you another time??

Anjo1 · 12/11/2006 11:56

Yep beef went in overn but it wasnt as nice as normal, had a fair few roast potatos though which more than made up for it!!
