Due on or around March 24th?

Ooh exciting that a few of us have our scans on the same day! I'm also really relieved to hear that it isn't just me who has been struck down by fatigue this week, I thought it was meant to be getting better by now & thought I was going crazy!! Have a great day everyone
 
Sunflower I can't help but pic up my son he's 25 pounds but I have been having him walk more and letting him get out of his car seat instead of me picking him up etc. Am taking it as easy as I possibly can. Only a few more days till I'll know if they're gone. Are those who have had an SCH in a pregnancy more likely to get others in the same or subsequent pregnancies?
 
Kelly - Heres to the end of pelvic rest! Its been a long month :)

Sunflowermama - thanks for that. I feel so much better these days and with the all clear I've been getting back to my old routine. But were moving apartments this weekend and I may have been tempted to help out. I'll tell DH you said he's on his own lol
 
Had scan today. They've moved my due date forward to 19/3. It was amazing. Little bean was so active that the sonographer really struggled to get the shots she needed. It was 15 minutes of kicking, waving and somersaults in all directions. After all my paranoia and the bleeds, which she could not see any reason for, there was the little bean showing off for us. The pics aren't great but I don't care, finally seeing our little bean was awesome.
 
hello everyone

almost letting myself get excited but not carried away. im too cautious. but just 6 days until my scan....symptoms have defineyley subsided since about 10+4/5 w. still get the odd bout of nausea...and am still of lots of food , boobs are noticeable every now and again but nothing is as consistent as was getting nausea every day all day for about 3 and a half weeks! which i know isnt long AT ALL...but it was long enough. i only hope its all ok . also interested on how your bumps are progressing. mine develops as the day goes on but its a definite baby belly not just all food and water im sure of that. love the end of the day not so keen on the morning belly check..
mostly just look a bit fat as it hangs over my jeans that fitted me just last week... and noticing even my pj's are tight now.

im having an awful time at work. really feel like im not doing a good job and im a supervisor too so there's alot on me. im just so preoccupied and not focused feel like i should have taken the last month off. also have been told by a friend that im guna get an earfull from my boss on monday..it's just not me..! anyone else struggling to focus??? :dohh:
 
I can focus but it's worse and better at different times. I have no bump in the morning then a small bump in the evening but it's not baby as otherwise it wouldn't disappear in the morning, though I guess technically it's my intestines and things moving up to because of baby. Meh. I'm not expecting to show till like 18 weeks at least where people who didn't know me would wonder.

Scan monday... I work the weekend, praying it passes fast.
 
Yay, 12 weeks today! And first scan on Wednesday :) getting back to work hasn't been as bad as I thought, although afterschool meetings are completely lost on me. And when I get home that's it, I'm completely useless. The fatigue,nausea and now dizziness are taking turns, but nothing unmanageable- though sugar seems to help the nausea which I'm a bit worried about as I'm overweight and don't want it to be a sign of diabetes.

Other good news is it looks like I will be able to tell work soon- the promotion I have been waiting for is coming out, and since my boss offered people condoms when 5 teachers were on maternity last year, I don't feel I can tell them until I have at least given it a shot- plus my career can (and will) happen alongside my family, so I don't want it to end up unnecessarily on hold.

Was bought our first baby present yesterday- my brother came to stay for a few days and couldn't resist the tiny baby stuff when we visited hard rock cafe :) it's so cute... Can't stop smiling at it!

Bring on Wednesday, finally get to see our lil bean and make sure everything is okay- then into second tri, where life is supposed to be rosy :):)
 
Hi eternal wait. I don't want to tell work either. I got a promotion a month before I found out but it's on a one year secondment and I severely doubt it'll be waiting for me when I go back. Although I know my colleagues will be supportive the new management is completely cut throat. It's got me down a little because all my colleagues acknowledge me as the best person in the department and I love my new job. Still I'd rather be a mum, I just wish I didn't have the distinct impression that it means waving goodbye to a job I love.
 
Mrs_bump, I know what you mean. I want this promotion- it's not where I ultimately want to be but it is a step in the right direction. It's awful having to lie- I am going to tell them I didn't know, but it also truly feels like a necessity. I am gonna take keeping in touch days to cover the most important days that I would be missing, but I think that's necessary in order to be able to move up again when the time is right... It's taken long enough to get them to recognise the work I do, but it took us nearly two years to conceive and I refuse to be negative about finally getting our lil bundle. :) hopefully your management will see how good you are in your new role and the job will be there when you get back.
 
Hello ladies! I started work this week and on the first day back I kept getting weird looks. I decided to tell my boss since people were already suspecting that I was pregnant and I didn't want to be stuck in rumor land, I just caved in and announced it on FB so I wouldn't have to hide it anymore and be given the "weird looks". It felt great, because so many people said that they had a feeling since I had a bump. :haha:

I go for a scan at the hospital tomorrow and they also referred me to a genetic specialist for tomorrow as well. I can't wait for the scan tomorrow because I heard that you can see the bean clearer with the hospital equipment rather than the one at the doc office.

Best of all: I finally bought my first pair of maternity pants! WOOHOO! :happydance: I couldn't wait any longer. I tried using rubber bands on my work pants, and belly bands, etc. it was very uncomfortable. I found a good bargain on 2 pairs of maternity pants and when I tried them on, they felt GREAT!
 
I'm in mat pants for work but when I'm not working i can still wear my regular pants which is nice.

Scan tomorrow.... I'm very nervous and wigging out a little. Ugh.

Aww! Yay! I'm still waiting for mine, another 3.5 hours to go.
 
I'm a rediculous mess. Like I think I'm going to bawl when I get in there. Nearly cried about it at my prenatal this morning.
 
The scan went well! I'm so relieved risk for downs is ridiculously low :) Hematomas are gone and baby is healthy, no signs of other anomalies at this point :) Looks like we get to tell people now.
