Awwwwwwwwww! Hugs to both of you!!

More anxious I think. I think I'd definitely be bummed out now if things weren't ok so am hoping they are! Moving past that, I'm hoping the scan makes us happy, rather than me panicking that there really Is a baby, and running screaming ;-)

Glad to hear everyone is doing well.

I've been working from home this week as it seems my SPD has taken a turn for the worst. My UTI seems to have cleared up but if I go without painkillers for more than 6 hours I can't walk stood up straight. It just feels like I've been kicked down there. Trying to put off going back to the doctors as I see my midwife next week, but I can't carry on like this much longer. Dreading to think what I'll be like in another few weeks.

Hiya, hope you don't mind me nosing it, I'm a thread stalker

SPD is horrid, you have my total empathy, I had it with my second and I'm really hoping I don't get it with this one. I got referred to a special pregnancy physio in the end and ended up with this really unsexy bump support belt thing, but it did help. I'd go back to the doctor hun, there aren't any prizes for battling through it and honestly at this point you need to be feeling as comfy as possible xxx

Anyway, sorry for butting in, feel free to tell me to bugger off xxxx

 

[justmeinlove]

I agree!

Hi KraftyKoala!! (Awesome handle, btw! ) We're always keen on a new point of view or advice, so feel free to hang around!

Nice to hear from you IOW! Hope things are going well!

Panda, sorry you aren't feeling great! Nice that you get to work from home though, hope you feel better soon!

JustMe, you'll be so excited, I know you will!! It's amazing to see a miracle growing inside of you!

AFM, we had our second scan today! It was really awesome. Bean is looking great, grown a lot, and had an amazing strong heartbeat. It's so fast!! We've been bumped up to 8wks 4days instead of 8wks 1day, which is right in line with where we should be! Also EDD has changed from 2 April to 30 March! Yayness!

 

[nimbec]

OMG Plastik how amazing are those pics!! So pleased to hear your bean is growing well!! Where your original dates from lmp or from first scan just out of interest? I have my 2nd scan a week today and i'll be 8+3 or 7+6 from first scan date.....

Always good to have more opinions please stay around!

IOW so pleased to hear all is ok and going well! Try not to overdo it...easier said than done i know lol

 

[plastikpony]

Original dates were from my first scan, but the new one fits in with the first day of my last AF. I have a very typical cycle, ov'ing around cd 14 and AF around cd27 or 28.

 

[plastikpony]

Very quiet around here, everyone ok?

 

[justmeinlove]

Camping!

 

[plastikpony]

Awesome JustMe!! Enjoy

 

[nimbec]

Hope you have a great time justme!

As for me i'm just counting the days down until wednesday praying everything is ok with my lil bean!! I have a final beta blood test this moring but have to wait for monday for results....

I'm really suffering with gass and constipation

How are u feeling Plastic?

Hope everyone is ok?

 

[plastikpony]

Wednesday is SO close, and I just know that everything is going to be great!

I know all about the gas, NOT cool! Poor DH, but there really is nothing I can do about it! I just blush and tell him that his baby is making bubbles! I don't have the constipation that bad, it tends to vary between that and being a bit loose. Ugh!

I'm feeling pretty good today, just SO CRAZY TIRED!!! Feel like I'm going to pass out on top of my laptop!

 

[nimbec]

Thanks plastik gosh I know that feeling I've never felt so exhausted!! Feel like I've been ran over by a bus shattered and achey!

My oh is rather irritated by my gass - to be fair it's pretty bad! He found it funny at first tho lol

Hope you've had a good day!

Well I had my anomoly (20wk) scan yesterday, everything is looking good. We resisted the temptation to find out whether it was a girl or a boy. It's not like it would change anything with the bedrooms, with it being our first. If we could have found out and not told anyone then I may have done, but DH would have to tell his mum and dad and then word would get accidently round and we'd end up with lots of pink or blue stuff and I really don't want gender specific clothing until baby arrives - I'd rather have lots of choices.

The pictures weren't so clear this time, the 12wk scan ones were excellent and she got us different views printed out. On the most recent pics the gain is pretty high and the pictures are all taken within a few seconds of each other, but no complaints he printed four pics for us instead of two and was very friendly and talked to us all the way through the scan. Babys head appears to be exactly bang on typical size for this point.

 

[nimbec]

Yay Impet 20 weeks WOW congrats and great news that the scan was all good!! How are you feeling in your self?

I so can't wait to get to 20 weeks, well actually getting to 12 safley at the minute would be amazing

Hows everyone doing today? I got ready to go and do a lil retail therapy as none of my clothes fit me - between bloat and enormous boobs lol BUT i only got 10mins down the rd and had to turn around for fear of chucking in the car - got minor twinges and feel ugh so no shopping for me a day on the sofa!

 

[Andrea214]

Hi ladies, I've wandered over here, I just hope I get to stay!
DH suggested a bike ride today, we went, it was good but since we got back i've been having some old blood spotting so won't be doing that again, took a cheap test and it's still positive, thank goodness
hope you are all well this weekend i'm on and even a bit of spotting hasn't bought me crashing down.

 

[justmeinlove]

Scan tomorrow morning for me. Am feeling quite ambivalent about it. Either it will show things haven't worked out - at which point I will be sad, or it will show things are fine and I am having a baby! At which point I am not sure I won't run screaming down the hospital corridors! I don't think my head is really anywhere near conceptualising the potential reality of this situation yet!

Feeling a bit tubbier, regardless of the internet's assertions that you don't gain any weight or bump by Week 13. I don't think I've really put on much weight either so I am just going to go with the argument that my expanding middle is in fact bump related...

Weird!

 

[nimbec]

Justneinlove good luck and I hope all goes well!!! I have similar feelings about my scan today BUT al least when you get positive news tomorrow you can enjoy and relax as you are out of the danger zone. Thinking of you

 

[plastikpony]

Yay!! 2 scans in 2 days!! Busy busy in here Will you ladies update us with pics as soon as you can? I'm totally sure that everything is going to be perfect for both of you and you'll both be over the moon!! It's totally awsome seeing that little bit of life inside of your own body, absolutely mind blowing!

And YAY Andrea!! Welcome over to the refugee side of life!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!!

AFM, MS hit me in a big way on Sunday and Monday, but I've been pretty good since. Except for this 'I've been hit by a bus' feeling that just won't go away. I feel like such a lazy bum for wanting to sleep ALL the time! And JustMe, I haven't picked up weight yet, but at 9wks4days my pants are all slightly too tight for comfort. Not cool! I did go and buy 2 maternity bras and my boos are substantially less sore, although I do give them a poke now and then just to make sure that they are
