Pinkycat yes just the 12 week one, I'm so scared and would love the reassurance of bloods or an early scan but can't afford to pay for a private one. I'm jealous too and it's a horrible thing because I know why these girls are having the extra tests done but I just want to know my bean is ok.
I went to dr this morning and she had referred me to the midwife so it's just a waiting game, which I'm no good at, I'm far too impatient!!!

Have you been to dr or referred yourself to midwife yet?

barbie - have you googled private scans in your area? I looked at a fair few and finally found a place that only charges £25 for an early scan which is a heck of alot cheaper than anywhere else I looked. If you really want one, maybe worth a good old hunt?

 

[cherylanne]

Ok guys, am I strange?

Two weeks after my 20 BFPs (well not far off!) I have just done another test just to see a dark test line. All my were fairly faint to start with as it was early, I just really wanted a dark line! This time, the test line came up before the control line! Very happy!

Any of you guys done something similar or equally daft?!

I did another test night before last hun. Mad thing i know, but i just wanted to 'check'. In 9 months i think i'll be a raving looney lol xx

 

[lilo]

barbie - yes they do!



lilo - have you tried decaff coffee instead? Admittedly I am no coffee conoisseur but I can't taste the differance between caffiniated and decaff. Maybe worth a little shot then you can have the best of both worlds

lol I had just got back from the shop where I bought some decaff and saw ur post. and yes have to agree no difference

 

[Barbiebaby]

Ooooo didn't realise they do them as cheap as that!! Will deffo look into it, thanks.

Hi everyone. This is my first post in first tri. I got my BFP's today and had confirmed at docs this morning. The nurse said my due date is approx 21st March 2011.
I'm a bit scared though. I've had these funny pains right in the bottom of my tummy for a couple of days now. Not painful so much but really strange pulling sensations. I don't know whether I'm explaining it right but I thought I'd ask you guy's advise. I'm making myself sick with worrying.
cheers

Barbie- Sorry u felt like that hun. I think with a few of us having issues and needing early scans etc, it kinda took over a few pages cos of our worry and fear. Glad u arent able to join in with early scan and bloods talk, as that means u are doin fine ;-)
Just be aware with a private scan, they rarely do a vag ultrasound and before 7wks it can be hard to see bubs with a normal ultrasound. U should be 7wks soon tho right?

Girls, i drink decaff tea and i much prefer it to standard tea! much nicer taste. twice the price tho... lol.

Ah thanks AQ. I may leave it til closer to 8 weeks before I get a private one then. I know last time I looked with my DS it was close to £80 which was just too much, will have to check again.

Embo I think my due date is around 19th March so I am just a little ahead of you and I am getting those exact same feelings almost like mini twinges/cramps? I think these are perfectly normal as it is where stuff is stretching inside to make that little beanie nice and comfy in there. If you read back a lot of the girls have been having them

I switched over to decaff coffee and diet coke about four months ago and I can’t taste any difference. I did notice that my energy levels increased, I have been sleeping better and I just feel a lot brighter and better in myself. I would rather go without a coffee now if I can’t have a decaffeinated one although I only tend to drink one cup a day, sometimes two. I have tried to swap my afternoon cup over to a flavoured green tea though and I am drinking at least 1.5 litres of water a day too

Blimey it's hard to keep up, guess we're all a bunch of chatter boxes

Congrats to all the newbies

Hope everyone is feeling ok and not too rough yet? I feel a bit sicky but it's usually cured for a while by eating. Still just sooo exhausted though!

Looking forward to my Dr's appt on tuesday to get the wheels in motion. Usually have booking in appt with m/w around 10 weeks, that's when it will feel really real! They normally scan here around 13 weeks, just seems so far away but am going to be really busy in a couple of weeks once the kids have broke up for school, so hopefully time won't seem to drag so much!

Am going to have a look for private scans around here but am pretty sure there's nowhere where you can get them for £25 in this area, you're really lucky Shrimpy!

 

[Shrimpy]

Embo - Welcome and congratulations

 

[Shrimpy]

Beckster - I know, I think it's the cheapest I've seen. it's only a 10 min viability scan but I am certainly not complaining. If it were £99 then there's no way we could justify spending that.

 

[Shrimpy]

Shazza - you're making me feel very guilty! You've changed such a lot, I feel uber unhealthy now

 

[Embo78]

Thanks for putting my mind at rest. I'll have a read back a few pages and atleast I won't feel I'm being paranoid!! It doesn't help that I haven't even seen my OH yet (he's working)
Any way I'm going to go to my sons assembly now so hopefully that will take my mind off worrying
Thanks for the warm welcome girlies
Em xx

 

[africaqueen]

Welcome and congrats Em! and its perfectly normal how u are feeling ;-)

Natty, and any other ladies waiting for scans- How are u doing? this waiting for our scans
is really exhausting isnt it?! roll on next wk! i need to try and make my wkend super busy and try do something for mon and tue and then we are almost there! Really wish i am working right now. The release of work and being busy would do me the world of good xxx

 

[MumtoJ]

Wow another wave of March Mummies welcome and congrats.

Barbie sorry you have felt ignored it wasn't intentional, if anyone else who has post and not had a response we aren't ignoring you it just hard to answer everyone everytime.

Well I am knackered today DS hasn't slept for more than 5 mins a time last night, I think the itching is keeping him awake poor thing, Put him in bed with us but his was kicking so much I came down stairs and slept on the sofa and OH stayed in upstairs but I could here them talking and getting up and down like yo - yos so we are a very tired house today, DS is refusing to have a nap as well won't even lie down on the sofa. Swaping tonight if he won't sleep again.

Its also OH's Birthday today but I'm struggling to get the energy to sort out his dinner.

Well I haven' yet heard from the MW will have to try again on Monday, I know she wont see me yet but I just want a date in the diary! Im not planning a scan until the 12 week one, I know each pregnancy is different but last time my sickness was always really bad after a scan so whilst I'd love some early pics I don't want any more MS than I have to.

Glad to see there has been plenty of poo in the last 24 hrs - hope everyone is getting back to normal (whatever that may be).

Sorry if i've missed anything or anyone

 

[Shrimpy]

hahaha I bet a bunch of women have never been so excited to hear about poo-ing LOL

 

[Shrimpy]

Oh, sorry you're so tired. I had a much loved rest yesterday and this morning and my bratfinks stayed at grannies Off to pick them up around 3pm so making the most of the peace and lazyness while I can

 

[Shrimpy]

Oh, and apologies for using separate posts, needed to get up to 250 posts so I can post something for sale on the board
