Emily - how is your mouth today? Better I hope!!! x

wow lots of stuff has happend i see.

tiggerz - how are you? how is your baby?

impatientmum - welcome to my world i hope you don't get a bad ms. so happy for your doc visit. i don't think i have ever looked forward to see the doc as much as i do now. crazy.

er - how is your teeth? wisdom teeth are the worst. i have pulled 3 out of the 4. 2 of the were operated on and i have never experienced worse pain in my life as when they did the surgery on one of them. i hope you are feeling better though.

newfie - your bump looks wonderful. i am happy to hear that the bleeding is gone also.

so far the ms is still ther. i am sick through out the entire day. i am supposed to do my dissertation for my masters but i have not done nothing but lay in bed and feel misrable so if not better the next 3-4weeks i have to ask for a defferal there is no way i can do a good job with so much time wasted on being sick. on top of it all (tmi) i have been constipated all day today.......i have spent my day crying today. no fun because my lower back hurts even more due to this. but now i got stol softner and fiber so i hope i shall be fine by tomorrow.

have any of you done sequential sceening? are you planning on doing it impatientmum?
we schedualed to do it as i will be almost 34 when i give birth which is not that far from 35. just want to make sure all is ok with our baby. but i am nervous. well it won't be until another few weeks.

Hi Girls

Em I really hope you are feeling better and in less pain, I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth sircally removed a couple of years ago, but before that I would get infections in my bottom ones every 3 months! I know how painful it can be and with only paracetamol to take, it's not much pain relief!

Just had a phonecall from my midwife, so my first appointment she is coming to the house on 2nd November, so exciting and my scan date is booked for the 21st November. I've started to get nervous now it's only 4 weeks on Monday, I just truly hope our little bean is ok and we are actually pregnant, I really need to stop reading through some of the horror stories some of the poor ladies on here have been through.

I'm not sure about that scan bellas, I think we have a blood test first and then if that comes back with worrying results then they recommend the scan, my oh and I have discussed we probably wouldnt as there is a risk of miscarriage involved and we would love our child no matter what.

Newfie you've popped since your last photos, your bump looks lovely - I am full on bloat today, I have teh fattest belly from nowhere, it's so wierd!!

xxxx

I hope the m/s passes for you soon bella. I passed for me at 14 weeks but still comes and goes.
Impatient- my scan in on the 2ed! bloat is how it all starts my dear. Might as well get used to it. As soon as the bloat goes down the bump starts.

impatientmum - we are not doing the one where they collect sample from the placenta/water which ever it is. we are just doing the scan where they measure the neck and draw blood test from me. i don't want to take the risk or a mc either. we have our scan on nov 11th. it's going to be awsome to hear our babies heart beat for the first time.

I cant even bring myself to talk about my teeth im afraid.. its been so stressful..


Yes bellas we had the downs scan to make sure.. they measured the nuchal fold at my 12 week scan and then they send you for a blood test, I got my results within two weeks by letter (low risk)

Hopw everyone is okay, ive not been on here much recently been so busy with work and in pain so sorry if i go slightly mia over the next week or so

We have our 20 week scan on tuesday.. hoping he is still a boy! ha and hoping all measurements/ findings come back normal. fingers crossed

xxx em

er - so you did that at 12 weeks but was there a follow up blood test at 16 weeks? because in the states appearently it is a two part test. first part is at 12 weeks where they do u/s and blood work. then at 16 weeks they do blood work only. is that how it was for you?

i feel soooo sorry for you about your teeth, hope you get better. good luck with the scan and let us know how it goes.

Here in Canada we don't do the 12 week scan but they do it at the 18 week scan and they do the blood test for the combined results. Much the same as you other ladies just a little later.

Aww Em I'm sorry you've been in so much pain, tooth ache has to be the worst kind of pain, it effects everything, eating, drinking, breathing etc!

I'm feeling really well, I had to a test yesterday just to make sure there was still two lines he he. I seem to hit a bit of a brick wall by 6pm and I am shattered, also eating is becoming a huge chore especially in the evening, I feel starving but don't fancy anything and then when I do cook something and start to eat, I get full after a few mouthfuls!

I might have to try snacking often throughtout the day rather than waiting for 3 meals.

How is everyone else?

xxxx

Aww impatient and bellas look at your babies forming in your tickers its so amazing!

And bellas, we have them both on the same day at 12 weeks.. so scan to check thickness and then blood test straight afterwards.. so by 14 weeks you know if youre low or high risk for downs xxx

Really hope everyone is good! Im definatley feeling better now xxx
