12 week scan, worrying myself sick.

[TishTosh21]

Ive got my 12 week scan next Tues and i am just so so worried about it.

I keep thinking they will give me terrible news, ive had near to no symptoms at all and really worried i lost the baby weeks ago and i just dont know it.

Please can someone reassure me, has someone else had no symptoms but received good news at the scan?

Awwwwwww welll congratulation CazEM

So glad all is ok.. i bet you have been showing baby off.. been sat here in suspense waitin on you ha ha ha ha

silly i know

yh bloods came bak normal but having rest of results bak wed so got docs to explain it all to me

oh i'm so happy for you

you 2weeks due approx behind me hehe.. depends on when they actually here to greet us

is this your 1st caz??

enjoy ur day chick n chat later

My DP has just booked our car for its MOT on thurs to a garage which is right by my sister so ive asked her if she minds picking me up and taking me back to hers so I can see her then.

Yeah Im looking forward to joining the Sure Start groups, they have one called Messy Play which sounds good but will prob have to wait til baby is a bit older for that one.

His ex sounds like a maniac, only met this guy once and they're getting married!? Thats crazy! and yes she does sound jealous of you if you couldnt even put your name on their xmas presents.

Congrats CazEM Im so so so glad everything went well for you its such a HUGE relief to know the little baby is doing well. Cant wait to see your pic later Your almost exactly 3 weeks behind me Im now 14 + 1 and looking huge already!

awww thats great tish..
be a lovely day catching up

messy play is fun but yh might have 2 wait a little for that one..

his ex is a phsyco bleep lol... i really dont like her!! if any harm comes to those kids we'll be seekin custody n kick her ass.. so well have 5 DC when babys here.. then i'll go grey ha ha ha

lookin forward to seein cazem's pic he he.. its great we all close together lol.. so within 3 weeks we will all have our little bundles of joy hehe

unless early or late.. my DS was on time my DD was 2 weeks early

i wish i could drive be able to get out more..

Yeah I think my parents went grey not long after I was born, they had 3 small children then and that was enough for them! So 5 would be a handful lol.

Yeah im really looking forward to seeing Caz's pic I love looking at other peoples scans they are so sweet

They say babies are rarely born on their due date (as you prob already know!) so I will prob be closer to Caz lol, could you imagine if we had them all on the same day hehe.

Shame we dont live closer eh? Im joining an aquanatal class at the swimming pool near me to meet other mums to be in my area cos i literally dont know anyone whos having kids, 2 of DP's family members have had a baby in the last year but its nice to have completely separate friends as well IYSWIM.

lol... my DP's children are dd 3 and ds 5.. his ds has autism too so will be a handfull

it would be so funny sharing their birthdays

yh tiz a shame.. wonder if we can share fb details then get to chat better, n if u need any1 2 chat to or any advise i'll only be on other end lol.. swimming would be great 4 u. i'm not involved with anything at all atm. should get off my butt more, will when i stop bein sick n get more energy!

only been sick x5 today. not managed to keep anything down on top of a massive headache for 2 days.. aaarrrggghhh.. just wanna feel better

having your own friends who you can chat to will be good for you

i cant wait to see caz's pic

i'm so impatient even tho took me till the next day to do it

Evening ladies!!! Sorry to keep you in suspense all day! I've literally only got in at 9.45pm after a very busy day visiting babies grandparents and a few friends! I'm buzzing, its been a very exciting day!!

Anyway, photo is finally up smilerjane! Baby is waving at us - it was very active in the scan and moving around a lot! Also catching up on other questions today, yes this is my first baby, had no idea sickness would be this bad before we started TTC! Also feeling big like you Tish already! Hoping baby will be born on time because DH mum is getting married 2 weeks exactly after our due date! That could make for an interesting weekend otherwise!

I think its lovely we're all due so close together, we'll be able to understand the pregnancy woes at the same time!! Hope you've both had lovely days too!

oh yeah sure erm what fb details do u need to add me lol people I know usually do it by name.

Oh it must be awful being sick like that, I get waves of nausea but they pass after about 10 mins so it could be alot worse.

caz your pic is lovely you must love it, I still cant stop looking at mine.

Are either you getting bump envy? I see people who look around 28 weeks or so and really wish I had a nice bump like them instead of just feeing podgy like ive eaten too much.

Yeh, its my screen on my phone now and I can't stop flipping it open to look at it!!

I suppose I have a little bit of bump envy, although I am wondering how huge I'm going to get, cuz I'm getting quite noticibly bumpy for 11 weeks! I don't think it will be much longer before I'm through the "who ate all the pies" stage! Haha!

Hope you've had good days! I'm exhausted today! Out and about too long yesterday I think!

hiya girlies

well i am fed up with bein sick... not kept anything down for days and was even sick in asda to my embarressment today!!! My doc called me and i have an infection but he dont know where??? i got another appointment to get myself checked over in the morn to see why/how etc.. think its my stomach

i'll put my name on here tish as there are not many me's on fb lol.. and the only one with my scan pic as my profile pic lol... Jane swannick. your both welcome to add me

and Caz its funny cuz mines on my wallpaper too on my phone and cant stop looking at it, i keep changing the pic tho haha.. i have a bump too.. cant fit in2 ANY of my trousers so had abit of a kick off this morn about it as had nothing to put on ha ha ha and good luck on your arrival date for DH wedding as babies are unpredictable lol.. be lovely having your bundle with you for the pics

i dont get bump envy as my preg is bad as it is and know i'll have alot of other problems like b4 ie heatburn backache insomnia i get lightheaded which isnt nice, constipation is the worst to go thru.. loads of pros tho.. nothing beats feeling your baby kickin hell out of you lol.. proves its worth it if this is my 3rd lol

hope u both are well today.. i'm shatted lol

got house to clean, 2 kids to look after, school run 1st thing and my DP is away with his kids till thurs.. got party food to buy too for the 22 children on saturday.. my DD had a great birthday today.. she said she was 'appy' i'm dreading it all now lol... only jokin i'll be fine.. made of the strong stuff me hehe

Ok Ill add you on fb Jane, my real name is Natasha just so you know its me when u add me!

I get lightheaded too and quite bad constipation but apart from that its not too bad.

Aw Im glad your DD had a good birthday Im sure the party will be really good Im sure they will love it

I cant wait to feel it kicking, might have to wait a bit longer than you they say it takes longer to feel it if its your first?

I hope my mw listens to the heartbeat next week its nice to know that everything is still going ok. The placenta is at the front and ive people say its harder to hear the heartbeat if its like that so who knows.

I keep thinking my bump has gone down! Im about 14 and half weeks now and apparently its the same size/weight as a lemon, bless! But saying that my womb is meant to be just above my pubic bone now which really doesnt sound very much when you look at it.

Anyways Ive got to stop obsessing about it!
Hope you are both well

ok hun no prob

my doc said today i have a stomach infection so prob why i bein sick so much... on antibiotics now so hope i feel better soon..

oh you'll know when you feel baby move.. its like flutters at the beginning.. little taps inside. and it may be harder but mw are normally great so i'm sure they find one if the dont they will send you for another scan because they have to hear a heartbeat everytime.. well thats what they told me with my DS.. i've never had a prob with mw findin a heatbeat hun so dont worry..

your not obsessing chick every preg mum does it.. we all get scared till we feel baby moving more.. just relax chick.. soon you'll be so big you'll struggle putting your shoes and socks on pmsl

hope u got to see your sis today

i h8 the lightheadad bit.. lol.. the amount of times i gotta sit down when shopping lol..

hope ur ok too

Heyyyy! Ive added you on fb Jane Love the scan pic as your profile pic, I havent even put mine on fb I dont want EVERYONE knowing lol, just my closest friends and my family of course. I might put my 20 weeks scan photo on there.

Oh poor you a stomach infection must be horrible. At least you have medicine now hopefully the sickness will go away too

Some people's mw dont even bother to hear for a heartbeat,I might ask her if she can if it doesnt look like shes going to.

Yeah I saw my sister today I went to the hairdresser with her to entertain my nephew while she was having it done.
Im still seeing her tomorrow when I take the car to garage which will be nice.

stomach a pain but will get thru.. i dont mind putting scan up as i've been here b4 i suppose.. i am so excited that i dont care who knows hahaha

hmmm never heard of that.. some mw dont hear it.. mine always have and i've has 2.. but yh she can hear it so cant see why she wouldnt check hun..

aww how lovely you saw your sis and will again 2mo

chat on fb ha ha ha

Morning.

Hope your feeling better smilerjane! To have a stomach infection making sickness worse must be awful! My sickness has made an improvement this week so I'm hoping its going to ease off now too! I really hope so because it would be nice to eat something other than salt and vinegar crisps!

Really really tired this week, haven't done a full week in work since middle of december now because of christmas holidays and then snow closure days the last two weeks, and I'm only doing a 4 day week this because of the scan monday, I'm so out of routine! I've been going to bed as soon as I get in from work for a few hours!

I know what you mean about listening to heartbeat tishtosh - I was quite dissapointed I didn't get to hear it on Monday, I saw it on the screen though so I know it is there, just would've been nice. Was it too early for them to try and hear it? I'm not having another MW appointment until 18-20 weeks now, (not wanting any of the downs tests etc, so they said there is no point seeing me until 18 weeks or so now...)which seems ages away to wait to hear the heart!

Last night I had achy muscles pains across my stomach - above where the baby is though so I wasn't too worried. Just uncomfortable! I'm assuming growing pains? or possibly I did too much with the kids during the day bending to the floor etc?

Asked Mum who couldnt remember if it was normal, but Dad said she had simular pains at the end of her first trimester - I'm glad he has a good memory!

Anywy, both have a good day. I better jump in the shower and get a move on for work! I used to have left by now, be in before 8 o clock - now I'm struggling to get there before our morning meeting has started at 8.45!!! Can't do rushing, makes me feel worse - I need a good 20 mins sit down with a cuppa tea! Luckily I have a very understanding head and dep.head!

Hi caz I didnt hear the heartbeat at my scan I just saw it, I guess they would only try and hear it if they couldnt see it.

I believe the mw will try and hear it at your next app, I hope she does with me my app is next Wed.

Oh do you work in a school Caz?

I think its quite normal to get achy pains, as long as they go away after a while and theres no blood or anything.

I really really cant wait til my next scan and it still seems so far away I just want to see my baby again!

I put my scan photo on fb and 2 friends who I havent spoken to in AGES come crawling out the woodwork! Im suddenly miss popular lol. Anyone else had old friends suddenly make an appearence now cos of the new baby? Maybe it makes it a difference if its your first.

Yeh, I'm a teacher at a special school! Work with children with severe to profound disabilities. I love it! Although I'm suddenly finding it a lot more exhausting than I used too!! Got an inspection in 2 weeks, but at least its only 3 weeks until half term! How about you?

Pains had gone away this morning, but back again tonight. They are not hurting really, I'm just aware of my tummy like I've been doing sit ups all day I suppose is the best way to describe them. I'm sure its just growing pains or I've been doing too much in work - I'll have to start letting my staff do a lot more I think, they keep telling me off for doing stuff but I don't like to look lazy!!

Yeh as soon as I put my scan on FB loadsssss of people I haven't spoken to in years were congratulating us on my wall!! It was the same when we got engaged and when we got married too! People like special occasions I suppose!

Wow that must be a v fulfilling job. What's your fb name I'll add u

Yeah I had those pains too mostly first thing when I wake up I'm quite aware of my stomach.

I'm not working atm I'm looking for a job but is proving hard in this climate. People keep asking is it really worth it cos not being funny but who will hire someone preg over someone who isn't?
I won't give up looking just yet though.

Hope your having a good day the weather is pretty bleak here.

FB - Caroline Morgan - the one with the baby pic!

Cool I'll add u now. See u over on fb x

hi caroline..
wow what a great job.. i'm too sensitive to work in a job like that.. cry over the silliest of things lol..

your tummy aches will be your expanding womb etc... i get em so i understand.. i either feel like i been doin too many sit ups or need a big poop or a big fart lol... with my stomach infect dont help.. i have taken all tablets but still dont feel any better however my sickness has lessened..

if u wanna add me hun my name id above in a previous post

and tash i doubt you will find a job now as most employers dont take on as you'll be at maternity leave after a few months workin there which they dont like.. i had that problem when i was expecting DS1..

hope u both are doin ok

Hey Jane, I've just added you! Tish I haven't seen any requests from you? Incase you have sent and think I'm ignoring!!!

Doing a lot better this week, much much less sickness so hoping it is almost gone completely now!!!

I had a lovely evening tonight; had a 12 week photoshoot (booked myself a pregnancy photographer to treasure every moment now and have a newborn shoot at the end) and we visited Mamas and Papas!

A bit nuts but bought the pram tonight! So excited, we have been looking at loads for weeks (since BFP if I'm honest! lol) and decided as we had the money there to make our first big purchase so we can space it out!! I'm buzzing! Baby has its beautiful pram!!!

Hope you are both well too x

Yeah Jane thats what most people are saying now, no one will want to hire me ive just got to accept the fact I wont be working for a while lol.

Caroline I added someone with your name!! I just saw a little girl in the pic and added you, maybe I added the wrong person LOL. Ill have another go .

Oh the photoshoot sounds like a wonderful idea! My plan was to take a pic of my tummy every week so I could see it change over time cos I dont think Id really notice it as I look at it every day but I havent act got round to taking any pics yet. I might get DP to start taking pics now.

Had my 16 week appointment today and heard the heartbeat it was lovely

haha p.s added the wrong caroline morgan on fb!! She's prob thinking who the hell is this person?!

p.p.s You prob did notice but Ive name changed just in case you were wondering if someone else had joined us. Its still me, Tasha
