Oh Sassy I have every body part crossed for your blood test tomorrow.

 

[beachlover1]

Sassy, try not to worry too much. You can't change what is going to happen (I can dish it out, but I certainly can't take my own advice!). I hope the tests can shed some light on it and in a positive way They are really quick too so you should know quite soon. We will be thinking of you.

Ooh Samzi, do you think things are getting started? I'm so excited for you!!

Hiya beachlover!
I'm doing OK. Feeling more than a wee bit pukey today, so I'm hoping that's a good sign. Absolutely refusing to venture into miscarriage support so I don't scare myself again. Just having a chill out day, getting the washing done, etc. It's a glamorous life I lead!

How's everyone else doing?

Ah Lol! I was exactly the same this time round....I wouldnt even look at MC support section as I thought looking at it might tempt fate, stay away for a bit! symptoms are sounding good!!

Sassy, I think its a case of dont analyse the lines too much, and see what the doc says. Its so hard, I know

Samzi.....D-day is approaching fast!!
xx

Hi all:wave:

Sassy - some tests are more sensitive than others. A blood test for hcg is the best way of knowing hun.

Samzi - I have my FX for you hun that things are moving so, you can soon have your baby in arms instead of in your belly

My scan went really well on Mon they dated me at 13wks+1day so, I am 14wks today and, my EDD is now 01/08/10 My baby was doing all kinds of weired gymnastics and, wouldn't get into position, I had to bend my knees, lift my bum up and, shake my hips from side to side so, she could take the important nucla measurement. It was 1.3mm just waiting for my letter to tell me how at risk I am of having a downs baby. They did say I would get a phone call within 5 working days if I was high risk so, looks like good news.

 

[samzi]

id like to think so, but i doubt it.

shes still wriggling about/kicking me loads and apparently your supposed to have a 'clear out' near the end and im the total opposite atm

still getting odd bump ache now and again, but nothing that lasts very long

just a matter of waiting i guess.

as of tomorrow i can say im due this month, eek!!!

 

[OmiOmen]

No sign of your plug yet then Samzi? I am excited for you, the day is getting really close and I can't wait to see photos of your LO. You will be the groups first true success story!

Glad the scan went well Shamoo! My NT scan went similar and I was there 3 hours and sent off on walks and to have sugary food/drinks because he did not stop moving, maybe your LO will be active non-stop with the kicking like my little man is now.

The past few days I think I have felt some mild Braxton hicks. it seems like everyone felt them in the second trimester on the board but I never did and I think (although not 100% sure) that I am now. Like I said they are mild but it is a funny tense feeling and if I put my hand on my belly it feels extra hard.

 

[samzi]

a few weeks ago i had some horrible slimy green cm which i got told was probably some of the plug...but since then ive had no more

 

[beachlover1]

Schmoo! nice to hear from you! great that all is looking good for you! nice nuchal result too fxd for the full result!

Poshie, good idea about "dates" for each week. No scans for me this week, but I have my 15 week MW check up on weds, so thats my little milestone ;-)

xx

 

[OmiOmen]

OMG Samzi, that sounds like you really are getting close and it is said from 38 weeks to 42 is the norm. We should start a guess the big date going for you and see which one of us gets the closest.

BL, I bet she will try for the heartbeat and that is always nice to hear. My next date is my midwife appointment on the 17th when I have to have some blood tests.

 

[Poshie]

Hello all it's great to have such a good bunch of girls on here eh

Samzi, it won't be long now til you meet lo! How exciting did you say you're going to wait til she's born before you decide on a name?

Sassy, best of luck with your appt tomorrow Hun, we will all be thinking if you. Do let us know how you get on

Lol, oh so maybe sickness starting for you then, mine started about 7 weeks

Schmoo hello Hun. So glad the scan went well, 1.3mm is a good reading. I got a call from my mw 6 days after with the results, so you don't have to wait long. It's amazing seeing a proper little baby on the scan isn't it? Much different to last scan. So pleased all going well for you

I was feeling ok earlier but I'm feeling a bit rough now. I have my next mw
appt at about 16 weeks (I'm ringing this week to book it). She'll try to find heartbeat for the first time. I'm going to be sooo nervous until she does!

Right so, here goes on this week's Important Events list:-

Week commencing 1st February

1st Feb: Sassy doctor's appt
3rd Feb: Beachlover 15 wk midwife appt
4th Feb: Poshie's Birthday

Anyone got anything else to add for this week's list, pls let me know

 

[samzi]

hehe nope, we have a name sorted out already and a boys one just incase it turns out she's a he!!

 

[Poshie]

I don't want to dwell on it but 3rd feb would have been my due date with my first pregnancy

Anyway, have you decided on Issy or has that changed?

 

[Amos2009]

Me too Poshie....February 3rd

Congrats again Samzi---any day now!!!

 

[samzi]

Nope, we are still going with Isabelle you are correct the middle name has changed though and thats a secret till birth

 

[OmiOmen]

I just got back from the hairdressers with a nice neat bob and feel so much better.

How is everyone today? Any news Sassy?

 

[Poshie]

Hello Omi. Lovely on the hair cut, I do enjoy having mine done actually. In fact DH has said he’s going to book me an appointment for Friday as a birthday treat, so I’m looking forward to that I’m doing ok thanks. Feeling pretty fat these days. I have to undo the buttons on all my trousers now which isn’t great at work, especially when I forget it’s undone and get up! My sister is going to bring me down some maternity clothes so hopefully she might have something suitable. If not, I shall treat myself.

Not heard from Sassy yet, hope she comes back with some good news....

 

[samzi]

Im a bit fed up today. Bloody OH never helps me out round the house! The kitchen is a tip and i just sorted it out so its a bit tidier but my god. he makes a cup of tea, splashes tea all over the works surfaces and just walks off then i get stressed and clean up his mess while sorting all sorts of other stuff out

I have a go and he tells me to chill out?!!! so there i was sorting his mess out and i burst out crying

i could pop at any time and hes doing sod all to help. Well i tell you something later on/tomorrow hes gonna have a day of tidying up and he can hoover the stairs and bedroom that ive gone on at him for a week to do!! im just feeling stressed now.

I HATE MEN SOMETIMES!!!!

 

[Poshie]

Oh Samzi I sympathise with you, as I'm sure most girls do. My Dh has a habit of just dropping things in random places, like clothes in the hall or something equally inappropriate. He also refuses to change the toilet roll when it runs out. He hasn't done it once!

They just don't think sometimes do they!

 

[OmiOmen]

I am sure you will feel better after getting your hair done Poshie, it just feels so good. Your lucky, I was in maternity clothes not too long after getting pregnant because of a massive amount of bloating, lol. I know what you mean about feeling fat though, I felt that way and am only now feeling better because people are starting to realize that I am pregnant and not overweight.

Aww, Samzi that is never nice. My husband is terrible, not only does he make all the normal messes that men make and never tidy's up but he goes even further by doing things like throwing rubbish on the floor (literally crisp packets and things on the living room floor) and leaving food to go off on the kitchen surfaces instead of in the bin. It really gets me down and sometime I have though I could not live with him anymore, I really think men are disgusting creatures though. I also think being pregnant makes it worse because you keep thinking well it can not be like this when the baby is here! Plus, now my LO is starting to move up near my ribs I can not bend very well so although I managed the hovering and the kitchen fine yesterday the bathroom are a rushed job.

 

[Poshie]

great 'men are pigs' stories going on here girls!

Whilst we're on a role, another thing my dh does is leave used tissues wherever he likes, so that could be on the kitchen worksurface, anywhere but the bin basically! Grr

 

[samzi]

I need to do the bathroom before bubs gets here, its a right mess

he tried to help before by putting some washing on. but the silly sod put a full cap full of persil in there instead of half and the washing machine is just full of soap suds!! what a plank!
