KimE - actually you ARE the first to mention July mummies! That is CRAZY!!! Though a girl on one of my old TTC threads just got her BFP at 9dpo... wonder if she's a late June baby or an early July... hmmm... I think she may be July
(we've been discussing food a lot )
congrats on the great scan!

And FYI, I quit smoking a few months before I got pregnant... I actually had the easiest time quitting... and now that I'm pregnant its somehow harder... because I know I can't have it no matter what but also because of the hormones/worries/anxieties and how smoking used to calm me down so easily! I know having one would make me throw up, but I somehow still want it
I'm fine, I know I won't do it or go back to it once the baby is here, just was surprised with the stronger craving for it once I was pregnant (took a month or so to kick in too after I got pregnant so its not JUST in my head)

KimE - Congrats on the scan!!

Wow, yea, I can't believe there will be July mummies soon!! so exciting!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Helloooooooooooooooo lovely ladies.

I had my scan today it it was lovely. Lil Diva was all stretched out and waving and kicking legs. Definately looks like a baby now. Plus they put me forward again to the 2nd May which is a day earlier than my original date! So am now 12 weeks 1 day and into my 2nd Tri which is just mind blowing. Will scan a pic in at work tomorrow.

Meow and Lisa and all who have their scans soon, really good luck, am rooting and have fx for you all.

Mummy3 I hope everything goes well for you and your lil man. Let us know and we are all here for hugs n rants and everything xxx

KimE GRATS and wb, July babies wow weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee we are the old girls in first Tri now arent we?

 

[Wiggler]

Tonnilou - I'm glad your scan went well! Cant wait to see your scan pic!

yea we are the oldies of first tri, and not long til we will be the newbies of second tri!

I had my mcdonalds, it was amazing! although they were a bit tight with the sauce and gerkins, and the chips were cold so me and OH have decided we dont like that Mcdonalds anymore and will be using the one up by the motorway from now on

I was considering watching EE and Holby tonight, but will probably watch them tomorrow on iPlayer when lil man is having his nap.

 

[Wiggler]

Oh no It would seem Nutella is going on my "Avoid like the plague" food list (my digestive system doesnt like a LOT of food)

Every cloud has a silver lining though.. I'm not consipated any more!!!

 

[xshell79]

Just wondering are we having a may mummies thread in the 2nd tri for those who are about to go into 2nd tri?

Won't be Long till we all are in the 2nd tri,,,, il be the last one joining u all lol being due the 31st!!!! Even when I have my early scan nxt wk if they put me behind a few days I'm staying with all u may mummies... Xxxx

 

[KimE]

lisaf - well done for quitting smoking you're totally right though I think pregnancy makes the cravings worse and I am blaming the hormones

New - glad you're feeling happier hun, hope karate went well and you managed a nap am jealous!!

Tonnilou - Big congrats on the scan, does it feel really "real" now? Bet you're on

Mmmmmmmmmm .... nutella could eat some but have just eaten some big chunks of cheese dipped in Branston Pickle and some olives ... yum yum

For those who have scans soon good luck and can't wait to see the piccys

xx

 

[Wiggler]

I'm wondering, what can i eat/drink to make baby really active for my scan? x

 

[lisaf]

haha.. well my friend had some coffee (like 1/3 cup) before her scan... and her baby moved TOO much.. they couldn't get any pictures So I've decided not to mess with that, lol!!

I had my McDonald's too .. yummmmmmm my fries were scalding hot when they gave them to me, but were cold by the time I finished them They need to come up with a fry that stays hot longer.

Also got my flu shot since the grocery store had a clinic today! Nice to get it out of the way, I've been hearing people coming down with the flu so I wanted it before then.
I didn't expect them to give me a hard time about not being out of the first trimester yet... I had to call my doctor for the ok. I guess the reason they don't want you to get it sooner is that you may then blame any miscarriage on the shot, so they don't want women to get scared of getting it, you know?

 

[new_to_ttc]

I dont think we allowed 'due in' threads in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd tri sections, hence we all got shoved over to lounge lol

Cant believe how fast we went from beng the babies of 1st tri to being the babies of 2nd tri.. wowsers!!! I think with the run up to Christmas coming too everything is going to go a whole lot faster, especially those of us with kids already.

Ive been trying to book me a 4D scan for 20 weeks, but I think I need to be 24 weeks +... I hope not! Has anyone had or known anyone to have a 4D scan at 20 weeks???

 

[Wiggler]

new - I just found this

At what age of my pregnancy can I book a 4D scan?

For best results for 3d scan and 4d baby scans we advise the phase between 24 and 34 weeks. At this time of pregnancy, there is sufficient water around the baby who is relatively speaking is small. The sonographer can in these circumstances obtain the best shots. When the baby is larger with less water around the baby is less active, the head tend to drop in the pelvis and the results may not as brilliant as are usually.

My mum just rang and suggested that me, her and dylan go on a trip, just us 3 to see my nan and grandads new house. Apparently its HUUUUGE!!!! I cant wait!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Thanks wiggler hun I saw that too, and on another site I saw best time is 26 to 32 weeks.. I guess 20 weeks is going to be too soon!

Have fun exploring the new house

Tonni so glad the scan went well, cant wait to see the pics

 

[mummy3]

New, I would wait until around 28 weeks, we had one at I think 25 weeks and it wasn't as good as the one at 30 weeks. Although with baby #2 we tried at 34 weeks and it was a disaster as he had already engaged, cue loads of pics with half a head Hope you feeling better

Seems we all getting burger cravings, I had a jack in a box giant bacon cheeseburger with onion rings for lunch

With my son, current thinking is its a form of dwarfism, basically he hasn't grown any taller since he was 10 months, he had a bone scan which showed they were'nt developing, he also has weak bones and broke his leg just walking when he was 18m. His blood test indicated some problems with his kidneys, as did the peeing blood, his hormones were fine. He has a proportionally large head and bowed legs, although it is relatively mild. Intellectually he is very bright, although has signs of autism. He will be seeing a geneticist soon and has an endocrinologist

 

[Mummy2B21]

Hi im due on may 9th & looking for a bup buddie from uk x

 

[luckyme225]

Well I made my first healthy dinner since becoming pregnant. I marinated some chicken and made some brown rice. Of course now I feel like I need some peanut butter m&m's to balance it out. Think I'll be heading to the store once hubby gets out of the shower.

 

[cheree89]

Hi everyone -

All this talk of second trimester has me terrified! I am afraid of the pregnancy going too fast. I have soooooo much to do at work and at home (need to finish our entire basement - yikes!).

Mummy3 - I hope the new docs can help your son out!

 

[mummy3]

Yep the weeks are going soooo fast!

Lucky, I got halfway through making a veggie pie then changed mind and sent hubby out to get differnt things from the store

 

[BrandiCanucks]

New, I had 3D ultrasounds with both my kids. I went at 32 weeks with my daughter and the quality didn`t turn out so well. I went at 28 weeks with my son and the pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous. The earlier you are, the less you see, the later, the more difficult it is to see anything. Between 26-28 weeks is best

 

[luckyme225]

haha, mummy!! What did you end up eating???
