May 2012 babies - so far 8 yellow, 22 blue, 21 pink!

[wavescrash]

I've opted for the tests but purely because it means i'll get my 12 week scan, I think otherwise they would have classed today as my dating scan and I wouldn't have another until 20 weeks.

See, I thought about doing it just to get another scan but the way it's done here, the scan isn't until 16 weeks or something like that. At this stage, it's just blood tests. I'm going to pay for my own scan probably next paycheck anyway so I'm skipping the screening

I know what you mean waves. I feel like, no matter what the outcome - I'd still go through with the pregnancy - so why bother knowing?! I think Im gonna skip the screening and just have the usual scans and stuff. Ive heard so many stories about false positives and people getting really stressed and it turns out to be nothing.

So do I just tell my midwife I want the normal scans and the checks they do with the scans but I dont want the extra blood tests to do the downs syndrome screening?

Just tell your midwife you would like to opt out of the NT testing and you will still get your 12 week dating scan. So she will still check the babies size, and that it has all of it's limbs etc.

Hi ladies,

I haven't been on in sometime as this last week and a bit has not been a good one for me, 2 weekends ago I began spotting and unfortunatly had the most horrible news on monday that I was misscarrying. All was confirmed on wed of last week so I am not able to keep in this group anymore. I am not doing well at all and I miss my little angel so much but I wish you all well and hope for healthy happy little ones for all. take care and enjoy every moment as you never know what tomoro may bring.

Ezza bub1 so sorry to hear this I'm sure this is a very hard time right now. Good luck for the future if you decide to try again.

[YoungNImum]

So Sorry to hear your sad news Ezza, keep strong xx

 

[yazzy]

So sorry Ezza...I know it doesn't feel like it but time is a great healer. Get lots of rest but try to keep doing the things that make you happy. Thinking of you x

 

[wavescrash]

Ezza, so sorry to hear that


Finally 11 weeks today

 

[anti]

yay waves - congrats! Im 10 weeks today! Roll on November!

 

[wavescrash]

Congrats to you too! Yes, I'm excited to get to November already!

 

[anti]

When I think Im 10 weeks pregnant it sounds like its gone quick, but it feels like its gone so slow! Sooooo looking forward to my scan! Got my mom up this weekend, my OH's son up next weekend, then 1 quiet weekend before the scan. Hoping its gonna go quick - but work is really getting on my nerves these days and days seem to drag by so slowly!

 

[wavescrash]

Hahaha aw well I hope it passes quickly. There's not much going on here to pass the time until my next appointment really. Work 6 days a week and then plans with a friend this Sunday but that's about it. Oh well

I agree... the time feels like it's crawling by yet saying I'm 11 weeks makes it seem like it flew by!

 

[hoping29]

Had my private scan tonight and pleased to announce all is well! We had a lovely baby with a HB of 150bpm and the sonographer redated me at 9 weeks and 6 days which is what I had thought originally. It was soo exciting so now I can relax a bit until the Downs testing.

 

[rjsmam]

Ezza i'm so sorry


Hoping.. great news about your scan! i am (im)patiently awaiting my scan date....

 

[zephyr]

Oho man I feel like people just hate me! Except for my closest bestest friends I just seem to be falling out with everyone! A few people have been so snarky about my twin pregnancy its just unreal. I just don't understand.

I havn't really been posting, I've taken a turn for the worst unfortunately and have had my head down the toilet for most of the week. Have to stop my car to spew its that bad. Have no apetite and the things I do eat all of a sudden I dont like anymore and have gone off a wide range of food the last few days. Hopefully this is over soon. I feel better for a few days to a week then it comes back twice as bad as before. Its awful.

On a good note I can feel my uterus way above my pubic bone now

Hope everyone else is doing great!

 

[bumpin2012]

hang in there Zephyr, it will get better. I still have days where im throwing up, and OH is frustrated b/c 1 day I love something, and the next I can't stand the thought of it...lol...

And OMG the number of pregnant friends I have coming out of the woodwork is astounding. This week I have seen anouncements of 6 of my friends! It seems like we're going to take over the world...can you imagine?

 

[zephyr]

Oh thats great you have heaps of pregnant friends!! I hope some of mine start popping up soon! cos so far not a single person, though they may be waiting till 12 weeks.

Yeah my OH is getting frustrated too, especially when he goes out to do something nice and buys me something I have been eating all week and then hes like "look what I got you" and then I'm running for the loo and hes left standing there going "what'd I do, you were loving this yesterday?!"
tehehehe so funny though!

 

[anti]

hoping - so glad you had your scan. Im so impatient, I want mine now!!

Zephyr - sorry you're not feeling well again. Just a few more days. Hang in there!

I need some advice from you girls - I know its too early to be buying stuff, but have a look at this. https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/...t-to-bed-and-sprung-mattress-rrp-600/90051426
I think its a good deal and dont want to miss it. Going to have a look at it tonight but not sure if we should get it or not. What do you think?

 

[sharon0302]

Anti- It is a beautiful cotbed!!

On the point of pregnant friends popping up - my sister in law and I are due within 4 weeks of each! She was the first person we told as when she broke her news (its her 6th the youngest only being 7 months) I couldn't keep it to myself!
