Wow. I really need to log on more as there's soooo much to read when I skip a few days. It's been hard to access the computer as we've been reorganising the apartment.... to make a nursery! We have three b'rooms, the master is large but the other two small, and we use one as a study and the other as guest room (which is not used often), so we ended up turning the guest room into our bedroom, which is opposite the study, which becomes the nursery, and turning the old master b'room into a study/gym/walk-in-wardrobe in one. Took ages as we had to move all the wardrobes from the smaller rooms into the master b'room.... which required DH taking them apart. (I don't think that's exactly what his boss had in mind when he said 'work from home'!). Now we just need some nursery furniture!

Anyhow, I feel fine. No more bleeding for a while, yea! Lots of pulling pains and I can't suck in my tummy anymore, so a little bump.

I keep reading about lots of you guys nearly wetting yourselves at scans Do your drs make your drink before hand? No one told me that I was meant to, and I haven't been, oh well.

SJK - Pleased to hear you got your reassurance scan booked. Can't wait to see the pics.
Whitelilly - that is such a clear picture!
Good luck with your scan too Ellie, sure it will be fine.
Wow. You've been keeping the drs busy Shelley! Hope your migraine goes away soon. It must make it harder being preg as does it limit your pain relief choices a lot?
Geo - You're finally feeling better! About time. I bet you'll be super healthy now for the next 6 months. Wonder if Niki's m/s is better?
Honey - don't stress about the doppler. There have been times I couldn't find a heartbeat. It helps to have a VERY full bladder and lie flat on your back, and start way down low and slowly change the angle of the doppler. It's weird the way it just suddenly just appears, when I'm sure I already tried that spot. Your baby is prob just very happy to stay under the p bone for now

Might sneak over to second tri and have a look!

TTFN (I also had no idea about that one)

ive gone over to 2nd tri !!! cant belive it !
thanks for the advise sarah , when i do have a full bladder it just feels very uncomfy uknow, ive not tried for few days now and think am guna leave it till i see consultant at 16wk uknow, i can even hear the ehco of mine uknow in my tummy, but just cant seem to find babies !! i do wish i never bought it till 16wk uknow,cos its give me nothing but worry !!
how exciting to be doing nursery :yippee: that must feel fab,cant wait till we can do ours !! we were guna b moving into a house ,but when we went to see it the bedrms were smaller than wot we have ! the rm that my 14yr old s.son wud be in was just tiny,the people that lived there had a baby bed in it and it looked squashed uknow,so weve left it,will just after wait i suppose , this morning ive had like a pulling pain at the bottom of my tum, again it doesnt hurt but i know its there ... hope to god this baby is ok,only 2wk till i see consultant anyways

LOL

hope everyones ok ?!?

 

[Elliebank]

Yeah it's my first one!! I had a weird dream last night, my Mum was doing the scan & so she got loads of photos, and the baby was wearing clothes!!!

Congrats on moving to 2nd tri Honey!!! I can't wait till I'm there. Why is BnB a week behind everywhere else on the trimesters?

How much should I drink before my scan tomorrow & when should I start drinking to have a full bladder?

 

[honey08]

wot a dream !!! LOL have no idea why bnb is a wk behind uknow going to 2nd tri

when i had my scan my bladder werent full enough,although i had drank lots it takes a hr or so to get to ur bladder ... so mine werent very clear, so drink a hr b4 ur app,but not to the point ur uncomfy hun, goodluck ,sure all will be fine

 

[Sarah+]

Come to think of it, the first thing that happens when I arrive for my appointments is they make me do a glucose strip (i.e. I pee in a cup and dip a stick to check my levels), so my bladder is always EMPTY. Maybe that's why my pics aren't really clear, but clear enough anyhow.

That is one weird dream Eliie!

Re the 2nd tri thing - I don't think B and Bump is actually a week behind, I think it's just that a lot of the members interpreted it that way, and now it'a a habit that everyone on here follows. What I mean is - the 2nd tri section goes from week 14, and right now I am in my 14th week.... at 13+5, so at 14+0, that will be the 15th week. Clear as mud!

NoCluemommy - Hey there, welcome to our thread - My edd is the 17th too so feel free to pm me, or just join our thread and we all talk to each other and give each other loads of support.

Yay I'm better!! I have not coughed for a whole 24 hours!!

Shelley - I hope ther migraines go soon and you start to feel better!!

Honey - dont fret too much about the doppler thingy, this is the one reason I didnt get one - I have listened to all my friends worry when they cant find anything!!

WL - That pic is great, glad all went well at the scan - even if lo was a fidgety little monkey!!

Ellie - I have been having the wierd dreams too!! I dreamt that I went into labour and when I rang my hubby he told me to bugger of he didnt wanna come to the birth, He was too busy fishing!! - Ring him later and let him know what has gone on!!

I was mortified!! told him off in the morning as though he knew!! ha ha bless him - he wondered what he'd done!!


Ah well I've babbled enough for this morning - will probably pop back later!!
