Thanks Kath, that puts my mind at rest! Was panicking they wouldn't be able to get me in for the scan!

My boobies still ache, not hurt as such. I haven't been offered a flu jab, I had swine flu two summers ago, nasty old thing hope none of you get it but the doc told me at the time I should have anti bodies against it now. I catch seasonal flu loads though - really going to try and stay as healthy as possible!

Omg! My boobs have suddenly got so sore!! My nipples are so hard I could cut ice with them! I'm away in cornwall now but iv over eaten the last few days and now I feel SO unwell, how I'll eat tomo I don't know! Had more MS this morn too, I bought alcohol free ginger beer but its not working!!

 

[Lilli]

Hey Ladies,
Just had my first mid-wife appointment. Nothing much to report, 100's of questions and me being unable to produce a urine sample, bit embarrassing
So many leaflets and things to read too!
She told me to go and get the flu jab. I'm not sure if i want it, will it give me a mild dose of the flu? I've just been off work for two weeks with a horrendous cough and don't really want to have to tell them about the baby yet...
I'm heading to yorkshire today to see all my family so wont be on here for a few days. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, plenty of mince pies but no mulled wine!

Lilli, i cant pee on demand either! Dont worry..

Wishing you all a merry christmas and hope we can get through tomorrow without feeling too ill, gonna miss a few drinkies and all the nice cheeses but hey I would rather be pregnant any day!!

[Babywisher19]

Merry christmas all my lovley ladies + bubbas!! I'm having pancakes for breaky! I deserve em!! Iv come up with loads of spots soo unusual for me, bloody hormones!
Have an amazing day and enjoy the festivities!! Xx

 

[kaths101]

Merry christmas to you all ... heres hoping we can keep our christmas dinner down!

Dont worry babywisher - at least you have an excuse for spots!!!

Have a fab (non alcoholic - shloer is the best!!) time this chrismas xx

 

[JaxBlackmore]

Hey ladies hope you've all had a merry non-alcoholic Christmas!

We've had a fab day - have told all our immediate family who are really excited, they are sworn to secrecy though! I feel so full of food - think I've over eaten big style! It's making me feel uncomfortable but I guess it's too late now!

Hope your all doing well, catch up soon! Xx

 

[MrsWifey]

Hi Lilly so we're both in st Albans how exciting. Is this you first? X

Hi, yes this is our first baby. It's taken a long time after being on the depo injection for over 8 years, so we are very excited.
What about you?
I have my first mid-wife appointment tomorrow morning. Not too sure what to expect really?! Where are you having your baby? i was only offered Watford or Lister, gone for Watford as it is closer. Shame the QE2 is closing.

Wondering how i'm going to get through New Year without all our friends realising we're having a baby. Still feels a bit soon to share our news with everyone.

Any interesting excuses for not drinking ladies?

I'm going for lister cos it's the closest one to me and they have a brand new maternity unit which is specialising in water births. I don't really want an epidural (can't stand the idea of a needle in my spine) so anything else first to help with the pain!

 

[MrsWifey]

Merry Christmas everyone and woohoo to all the sweetpeas! Had a mostly lovely christmas at the in-laws, just still can't eat properly as everything still goes straight through me! I'm seeing a nurse on weds for my flu jab so will ask them about it then cos it's been a whole week now. Apart from that it was nice being around family asking questions about the baby and saying congratulations etc, and every 5 mins hubby claiming he was drinking for 3! (he actually had a headache and didn't drink that much, bless!) We've having my family round to ours today including my 3 week old nephew so I'm hoping to get some baby practice in later!

Is anyone thinking about having an early private scan? We got some xmas money and I was thinking about spending it on that so I can have a scan at 8 weeks instead of having to wait for 12 weeks, what do you think?

I hope the MS isn't too bad for those who've got it, have a lovely boxing day x

 

[JaxBlackmore]

Hi MrsWifey love the sound of an early scan - how exciting to see your baby a few weeks earlier!! Sounds like we had very similar Christmas days, my family was super chuffed!

I've come down with what I'm hoping is just a cold and not flu - really worried, am I worrying in-necessarily? Typically I'd get it before I get offered the jab!!

Hope everyone else is good, no MS here - not sure how long it'll be before it catches up with me!

Xx

 

[Babywisher19]

Oh my god. How do I make it stop. Iv not been able to get out of bed at all in 3 days now, iv got awful stomach spasms high up and I the nausia is so strong but no sick, I honestly can't cope, iv had enough, I can't stop crying, no one understands. I just wamt to feel like myself I'm tired yet all iv done is sleep when I'm not in pain.. In 5hr drive from home

 

[kaths101]

aww babywisher that sounds terrible! Have you been to the doc? Is it the pregnancy or have you got flu??
Try and keep your fluids up, keep drinking. When are you coming home?

I really hope you feel better soon xx

How is everyone else?? I have been having nausea but not been sick since last week. Im going to book my midwife appointment this week x

 

[MrsWifey]

Sorry you're feeling so terrible babywisher

I'm starting to feel a bit better but still not 100%, had no problems for 2 days then woke up at midnight last night and had to rush to the loo. My brothers fiancee has just had a baby and she said she didn't have any morning sickness, just morning shitness! I think i might have that too!

Going for my flu jab tomorrow so I think I'll just mention it to the nurse to make sure I everythings ok.

Still haven't decided about the early scan, going to look into it more tomorrow on my day off. My sister suggested a place someone she knows went to which charges £65-70 which I thought sounded ok but when I looked on their website the price said £120! If it's the lower price then I think I'll do just for a bit of peace of mind.

I've felt quite pregnant today, so far at work I've mainly been able to get on with things but today I kept almost saying it accidently. It's really bad timing for work so I'm not sure what the reactions going to be as people realise the implications of when I'll be going (I'm a retail store manager and we're moving to a new store in July!), but there's not a lot I can do about it now!

 

[Lilli]

Sorry to hear you're feeling so bad Babywisher. Really hope you start feeling better soon.

This is my first pregnancy and i didn't have any idea what to expect, well, actually i thought it would all be nice and smiley, shiny hair, glowing skin, making clever excuses why you're no longer drinking like a fish and eating whatever's put in front of you before waving a scan photo around and telling everyone your happy news.
In reality, i have more spots than ever, am an interesting pale green most of the time, constant nausea but no actual sickness but with a lump in my throat and big bags under my eyes. I have recently been referring to my desperately wanted baby as my little parasite! how awful is that?! It is just taking all my energy. Just on a count down to the scan now.

We've been in Yorkshire for Christmas with my family and the effort of getting up and dressed and talking to people, not to mention entertaining a 2 and a half year old for every moment of his waking day = exhausting. Oh, and we didn't tell my parents as they'll only worry because i have epilepsy, so i couldn't even explain my poor communication!

Dont know how i am going to get up at 6am tomorrow to get into work...

I considered getting an early scan, just cos i want to see that there is actually something in there! But i don't think my boobs and belly would feel like this if they weren't getting ready for a baby... and then i found out that Watford wont tell you the sex of the baby, so i'm saving my pennies to get a private scan after 20 weeks to find out what it is... just need to persuade hubby about that one!

Do you all want to know the sex?

Good luck if you're in work for the rest of this week, think i'll be asleep under my desk by 10am!

 

[satine51]

Hello Ladies, long time no hear-how is everyone doing? I am feeling much more positive because I booked myself for an early scan this Thursday. I just couldn't wait till 12 weeks
I took more pregnancy tests and it seems that I am still pregnant (yes , I am the doubtful one-just still can't believe it!)
I had a few nauseous moments, no sickness though. I can't look at red meat at the mo, although recently chicken starts turning my stomach too
Hope everyone had lovely Xmas!!
PS we are still keeping it secret and it's really sweet

 

[satine51]

BTW Lilli, looks like we are exactly the same - 7+3 today

 

[JaxBlackmore]

Ahh babywisher I hope you start to feel a bit brighter soon

I have been talking to my DH about an early scan and he's not keen, would rather have a 3d one later on. I'd really like an early scan, never mind I guess 12 weeks isn't so long! When the time comes I think we will find out the sex, I'm not sure why though!

My cold/flu never materialised into anything thank god! Still no ms but the cramps are driving me nuts and i've over-eaten again which has made me feel worse!

Xxx

 

[Babywisher19]

Hi ladies.
Iv been talen to hospital via ambulance. They think the pregnancy is eptopic. I'm exhausted and iv only just been allowed to eat.. I'm ona drip and I'll be staying the night. Iv had an internal and the gyno thinks I might be ok but have to wait for an early scan late tomorrow (they'r so busy here) before its confirmed. I'm terrified and they'v sent OH home. I hate needles and theyv had a nightmare taking blood and fitting an IV- I'm quite battered and bruised. Needless to say this isn't the xmas holiday I'd hoped for and being 5hrs from home is quite depressing when all u want is your mum.
Please keep ur fingers crossed and I'll updated via my blackberry as and when I can.

I'll be praying my bean is OK

 

[JaxBlackmore]

Omg! How frightening, got everything crossed for you babywisher! Hope you and the bean are ok xxx

 

[Babywisher19]

Hi guys.
Iv just had an emergancy scan. Baby is well and has a heart beat. I'm so relieved. I'm staying in hospital for the moment as they thiink its a severe stomach bug. I'm just glad baby is ok. I'm 6 weeks ish. Luckily I didn't need an internal as it was so clear from just a tummy scan but they are less acurate at dating. Can't wait to go home! X
