[wannabubba#4]

Hey Tudor Rose, yay come and join us - 6 weeks already OMG -isn't it so exciting ??

Although I am off sick today from work -feeling nauseous pratically all the time and spending loads of time with head down the loo . And my youngest son is off school with earache too, so I was up all night with him too. Feeling real yucky - The Joys of pregnancy eh?

 

[nb1984]

Of course Tudor Rose - welcome!

Well girls I am going to get so confused remembering who is whose nicknames on here and who is who on facebook!

I think until we are all past the 12 weeks as long as none of us say anything on there we shouldnt get into hot water!!

I am SO excited about tomorrow, it seemed like forever away when we booked it, we are going to pick up a Chinese on the way home, so excited! Fingers crossed I will have a picture I can send you all afterwards!

I popped to my Mums after work last night and I fel so tired and she said 'are you ok? You seem a bit subdued?' I was so panicked!! So then I was trying to be incredibly upbeat and chatting away, she must of thought I was nuts!! Only 4 more weeks until I can tell her!

nb Hasn't that come around really soon -I am so excited for you- gonna see your lil bean - wish I could have at least a day to to look forward to lol -still waiting not -so-patiently on my GP letter

I am taking my son to the docs today -i may have a word with the nurse and see if I can at least get my antenatal bloods done while I am there -save making another journey.

Good luck tomorrow (listen to that haha -as if I am not gonna be on here all day,minus my afternoon siesta and multiple trips to the loo lol) In case I am not really,all the best for tomorrow and post us that pic -gonna get to see our first bonfire baby yay!!!

xx

 

[nb1984]

haha I know, I refer to tomorrow as if I might not check back today - who am I kidding?!

I promise to post a pic as soon as I have one, there will be hardly anyone I can show it too so I will be proudly showing it off on here!

I hope the docs let you do some bloods tomorrow, my doctor told me to come back in 4 weeks which is on Tuesday so at least after my scan I will have that to countdown too, and hopefully then a booking in appointment!!

 

[Beadette]

Welcome Tudor rose!

Well I am 7 weeks today! Woo! Only 33 to go.........,

absolutely shattered despite getting plenty of sleep!!!

 

[Mooncake]

Welcome Tudor!

That's so exciting NB, I can't wait to see your LO!

Girls, I have a favour to ask.

When do you think your conception date was?

I think mine was 29th of October, just really needing some kind of gauge. My LMP was October 15th. I really want to change the surgery I am with, they've booked me a midwife appointment on 29th December, and they've told me to bring in yet more proof that I'm pregnant, that's in another month! I'll also probably be at home that week for New Year. I think that's too far away? Looks like I'll only get a scan at 12 weeks.

Am I as far along as you girls? Or a week behind or what? I've never been so confused about anything in my life! :O

I was told by my gyno to have my scan at 7 weeks and base it from the date of my period, which was the 9th of October. Have you been on the baby centre website? If not then google 'due date calculator' and use the baby centre one, it asks the date so enter Oct 15th and how many days your cycle is, mine was only 23, and that will tell you how many weeks you are.

If you are unhappy with the surgery then def change! I dont think you will get a scan before 13 weeks unless you have complications hun, or you can be nuts like us and pay!

[Mooncake]

I had no idea you were paying for it chick. I've been in a bit of a state because I don't know what was supposed to happen, I thought the midwife would be speaking to me sooner. I'm glad at least I have you girls to talk to about it. It's been a crazy month!

 

[nb1984]

Yes I was seeing a gyno previous to us TTC anyway and he recommended when we did fall to have an early scan, its £90 but I think it will be worth it! Any private hospital in your area will offer the same xxx

 

[Mooncake]

It's shame I don't have £90. It really is worth it. I've got terrible abdo pains, I hope that it's because I'm *TMI alert!* constipated, I've been having a sharp pain just left of my belly button, do you think it's anything to worry about?

 

[wannabubba#4]

Mooncake -My LMP was 13th Oct and that makes my EDD 20th July and makes me 6w +1today so your ticker looks bang on.

However, if I put in my ovulation date - which was 21st Oct then my due date moves forward a whole 6 days to 14th July making me nearer 7 weeks YAY!!

Unless proved otherwise though,I am going with 20th July cos I know that when I do see my MW or GP (eventually lol) then that is the date they'll give me.

Babies rarely come on time anyway, I had one 3 days early, one 3 days late and another 9 days late -they were going to induce me the next day if he hadn't arrived - so in the face of all that, 6 days prob wont make much of a difference to my pregnancy timeline. (Although still hoping that I am acrtually 7w just now, sickness has less to go then lol; and when I eventually do get my scan the bubba will be bigger and I'll get to see more).

I have just woke up, thought i'd lie down for a bit,after retching in the loo for about an hour and feeling really lousy, and I fell asleep lol- cannot believe it's nearly 2pm. i've been asleep about 3 hours .

GP letter fell through my post box Yay!! I thought, then looked closer -wasn't for me -was my sons invite for H1N1 jab bah!!!! lol

xx

 

[nb1984]

I havent done it off my ovulation date as I assumed that would reduce my due date my 11 days, I might give that a go now and see what it says!

The retching is horrid isnt it? Thats how I spend most of my evenings, I feel fine in the day, just poor hubby gets miserable me!

Glad you had a good rest, with your shifts you need it! xx

Aww chick, you'll get it soon, remember, this is snail mail I'm gonna give NHS Direct a call, I've just had some weird things happening. In a bit of panic mode.

Luckily I've only been sick that one time, and feeling yuck through the whole day and can't even look at smelly food. I can't even imagine having to work right now even though I'm looking for a job, I lost my last one a few months ago and it's been a nightmare trying to get one. You girls are braver than me x

 

[Beadette]

Oh I've got pains in my tummy on and off but its just because I'm proper bunged up!!

 

[wannabubba#4]

Oh Beadette - feeling bunged up is seriously under-rated in my book, its one of the worst feelings in the world -Are you drinking plenty of water ??? -your circulation is expanding to include baby and (even now) amniotic fluid is starting to build up, so can leave your other cells (and you!!lol) dehydrated which causes constipation bad!!!

Maybe thouhg, you are alos needing alil kickstart to get things moving -something gentle like lactulose. Speak to your pharmacist or GP to get something. Painful tums and pregnant ladies dont go very well -lol - only gives you more to worry about.

Mooncake - I am so jealous of you NOT having to work right now, although so grateful to have a job - I am a nurse in an ICU - lots of bodily fluids, lots of weird n wonderful smells that I have honestly never noticed before I was preggers lol

nb -I ov'd really early that month on CD9 - normally CD15-16; had I ov'd at the 'normal' time my EDD would have been exactly the same.

haha we clearly do! I know its gorgeous isnt it! I loved how it opened at the front to the different type of fabric! How crazy! Did you go to a lot of places before you got it? I got it in the third shop, I liked the designer anyway and thats why I made an appointment in the shop and when I put it on I just knew it was the one! x
