Hi all, I had my dating scan today and all is looking good. My nt result was 1.1mm and i have been bumped up to 13+3 edd 4/6/11. My crl was 74mm so bubs is getting huge! X

I've had to walk home from work tonight after abandoning my taxi because it started to slide down the hill in the heavy snow, even with the hand break engaged. Thankfully a young group of lads saw and grabbed hold else we would only have stopped via a collision.

Really annoyed with work for putting me in this dangerous position in the first place (I live 40 minutes drive away on the other side of the city and most of the staff are walking distance and NOT pregnant), I'm now tired, crampy and in serious back pain.

Don't think I'll be leaving the house for a while.

Wow Sooz sounds like a scary moment. Not worth risking it again until it's safer! I've got my hospital appointment this morning (only 10-15 minute walk away) so going to chance it and hope they haven't cancelled. Hubby on a late shift today so taking him along for moral support on the walk there and back.
In central London yesterday it hadn't settled and everyone seemed a bit disbelieving when I expressed concern about getting home last night. (we've had a few inches) Fortunately the trains in my area were running ok but I've heard some horror stories about 8 hour journeys not that far from here! It's supposed to carry on snowing today so lets hope the trains carry on running (or not and I can have a day off!! )

Loving the new scan pics everyone!

Yeah I havnt taken anything. I've only eaten crackers and sipped some soda. I have never felt so much pain in my head as I do now.

It's probably a bit late to matter now, but I often get crazy migraines and end up in hospital on drugs to manage them. Of course I can't take the same ones whilst pregnant but I've spoken to a specialist who says that in the first two trimesters it's fine to take ibuprofen and it won't affect the child. They have higher amounts of receptors specifically for that than adults do so I can take that at the start of a headache or migraine. I take them sparingly, only when I know I'm not going to be able to cope and worry about the stress on my body affecting my child. I'm so relieved I can take them for the first 6 months, only 3 months to bear it!
Maybe if you get it again you can try that? Ibuprofen (neurofen, etc) is better for the child than aspirin or paracetamol (acetaminophen) when pregnant.

What a horrendous journey home Sooz. Thank goodness that those lads thought to act. I hope you're feeling better this morning.

Also i got a question last week i woke up with like a small lump on my armpit that felt like a bruise when i touched it and then it left but today i woke up and i had one on my other armpit..has anyone experienced this ?? is it bad ?

You have glands under your armpits, could it be those? Sometimes they come up when your under the weather, like the ones in your neck.

Is anyone else finding the snow a mission to walk in? The tensing up has set my sciatica off badly, I got stuck at work today when I bent down to write something on a clipboard.

If it's the same as I had (and it sounds like it is) mine was purely because I was using anti-perspirant deodorant. Been using it since I was about 12 and never had a problem until this year. I was told to stop using it and see what happens. It took a few days and the lumps went down and have never reappeared - I haven't used anti-perspirant sinse, just deodorant. I've also read several places that it's really quite bad for you long term as it blocks stuff up and can *potentially* cause cancer (as just about everything can). Have decided I'll only ever use it if I really really need it. Am living in middle Africa and am surviving surprisingly well without it!

I had my scan yesterday and it was truly the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life! And I started blubbering as soon as I saw our baby on the screen. Our edd has been moved up by one day so now the dd is 11 June 2011! I think our baby was behaving a bit like yours Lois - he/she was fleeing about all over the place. At one point I had to turn on my side in hope of "flipping" the baby over - it was so funny. All I keep doing atm is just staring at the scan piccie, I can't help it, it's just so wonderful. I think I was a little bit more anxious about the scan than I actually realised but today I feel... I don't think I have the words to really describe how I'm feeling .

 

[BritAcrossSea]

Sorry to hear Ozzie that your scan was rescheduled for Sunday. FX that snow stays away. The snow is lovely but it is a bugger for messing everything up.

 

[cdntluvumore]

Oh, I had my first scan yesterday too. Part of me was expecting there to be nothing (I've never had a person fully in me before, how could it happen now? Doesn't that just happen to others? Am I really mature enough to be able to do something so grown up? All I did was have some fun...could something as amazing like that really come from it??) But there was and it had a heartbeat and head and a back (couldn't make anything else out ) t'was so amazing and now I don't care if it is a girl, I'll be happy with her as much as a boy! Something I was a tiny bit concerned about feeling but it has all disappeared and I'm so in love with this tiny blob in me

Good luck for your scan, I'm sure it'll be brilliant! Feeling much better now I'm getting to 2nd trimester. The fog is starting to lift. How are you feeling?

Ahhh that's lovely hun. I quietly hoped my DD was a boy to begin with but you just fall so deeply in love with them exactly as they are that you don't want them to be anything else in the end.

Stay safe in the snow girls for those in the UK

Lois I'm going to make a guess at my due date based on Ov dates rather than the NHS, can you move me to the 3rd June please.

 

[Chase]

Think you might have missed my post lois, please can you change my edd to the 4th june. Thanks.

Radiology just called and I'm scheduled for a scan next Wednesday! At least this time I hope to find my way around the hospital...

Hello all! Sorry to hear about everyone's troubles with the snow. We've been lucky here with just rain.

Had my scan today and bubba wouldn't cooperate. They couldn't get the shot they needed. And the ultrasound tech was so rough! My tummy is still sore. I have to go back again next week. Oh well.
