Lala - You're so lucky to be feeling better! I can't wait to hit the 2nd trimester! This nausea is enough already!! I'm so excited to see baby today at my dating scan. I'm 9+1 today and I'm not sure exactly what we'll see as I've never had a scan before 20 weeks before but I'm praying everything will be fine! You must be so excited for your scan on Monday!

Lola - Congrats on the new house, that will be so nice considering the stairs must be a pain. Wow can't believe you're 27 weeks already!! Good luck on the job!

Thanks lola. Scan went well and dates been pushed forward by a couple of days so almost 13 weeks now!! Feeling heaps better but still so sleepy.

glad the scan went well hun..bet it was lovely to see beany on screen and know everything is going well

afm..on to my second dose on clomid. currently cd12 and my opks are almost positive so might be ovulating in the next couple of days. nice and early for once.

the scan went ok..my cyst are 6mm so they aint worried..they think the clomid is whats been giving me pains.

nice to see your all doing well and beanys are cooking lovely xx

Hi ladies,

I had my first ultrasound today and it was unreal! I've never had an ultrasound this early before and was blown away by how much it looked like a baby already (although in this pic it kinda looks like a turkey to me, lol)
I measured at 8+6 which would be pretty spot on as I ovulated on cd17.
Baby's heartbeat was a strong 170 bpm!
The ultrasound tech got way better images of baby but she couldn't print any out so I had to quickly take this one with my iphone.

babyd - that's so exciting your opk's are getting nice and dark so early! I bet this increased dose is just the ticket you need to get that bfp!!

Lala, that's great you're in 2nd tri already - that's totally flown in !
Calista, your scan looks great! Amazing what a change in your tyroid meds achieved!
Babyd, yay for + OPK! Hopefully this round of Clomid will be the one that does the trick for you
Lola, good luck with the moving - we've just done that - I don't envy you!
As for me, like I said we've just moved house - in to our "proper" house in Germany after being in a wee flat for 7 weeks - can't believe I've been here 2 months already! I'm 28 weeks now (or 30 by the size at last scan, but I don't believe that...)

 

[LalaR]

Hi there, how are you all doing? Not long to go now for you Lucy!! I'm glad that you have got all settled in your proper house well before the baby arrives.
Calista - are you feeling better now? I hope the sickness is starting to go away.
Lyns, how are you? ny luck yet with the clomid?
Lola - congrats on the move. A house will be so much easier than a flat!!
I can't believe I have made it to 15 weeks. I am only starting to get a bit more energy now. Hopefully I can increase my exercise now as I have gained a silly amount of weight. Aquanatal starts next week!!

Howdy! Lala, yay for 15 weeks, that's awesome I'm doing OK, 31 weeks tomorrow, another growth scan on Thursday, and should get my glucouse screening results tomorrow if I can make the phone call in German (or wait until my appointment on Thursday!)
Hope everyone is well

Hope everyones well

I moved in last weekend and we are still unpacking It's so lovely having all the extra space, just taking things slowly.

I'm good, have to go to the docs this week as my midwife thinks I have spd and wants him to prescribe me some pain meds so will see what happens. Pregnancy is flying by, just need to decorate his room as one wall is currently purple! and buy a few more bits, like breast pump etc and need to get his cot mattress and bedding.

I finding my pregnancy brain is definitely sinking in! After drying a load of plates i put them in the fridge and then later poured salt into a hot pan thinking it was oil! Also really clumsy and regularly trip and nearly fall over stuff!

 

[holywoodmum]

Hi Lola
Glad you're safely moved in! We still haven't totally unpacked, and it's been more than a month. I have to say I'm really glad I'm not at work at the minute - I became so clumsy last pregnancy I was sawing my hands and hammering my thumbs and dropping things left right and centre!

 

[LalaR]

Glad all is good with you Lola and Lucy. Not long to go now at all. Hope you are both managing to get unpacked and settled in.
Almost 19 weeks here and no real changes. 2 1/2 weeks to go before my anomaly scan still but a trip to the Olympics before that. Should be exciting.
How are you feeling now Calista? I hope the MS is settling.
Any luck yet Lyns?

I'm so sorry that you are having all this stress Lyns. I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 19 and it is probably the reason for my losses. At least you are going to see the specialist now. 2 months is really quick. Up here the waiting list is 6-9 months.

I can't believe how quickly time is flying. I never ever thought I would get this far so am trying to contain my excitement. It's 6 weeks since my last scan - pic was rubbish!! Still 2 1/2 weeks to my next scan. I will be over 21 weeks then so I hope that we will see a big change since last scan. I've started getting little faint tickly movements but now every day that I have noticed. I've been using my work doppler to keep me reassured that the baby is doing ok. No bump photos posted but I feel huge. I gained loads of weight when I had that 6 weeks of rest and I have been told not to over exert or go back to the gym before the baby arrives so no hope of getting some of the excess weight off. I suppose I shouldn't stress about that and just be happy that I have a healthy baby growing.

Your latest pics of Andreas are so cute. He is growing up so quickly!! How is Pete keeping?

 

[holywoodmum]

Hellooo! Lala, which events are you going to see? Lyns, sorry to her you're getting nowhere fast hopefully these 2 months will fly in and you'll start to get answers soon...
Bump is coming along nicely. It's hot here at the minute, so I'm struggling somewhat - but everyone else is pleased the rain has stopped! My mum is visiting at the minute which is great

 

[LalaR]

Great bump Lucy!!
We are going to see men's hockey, semi final tennis at centre court wimbledon and womens table tennis. A mixed bag but should be fun, if not a bit tiring!!

 

[holywoodmum]

Hello! How is everyone doing?
Lyns how's the clomid? How are all the bumps? Any new BFPs?
I'm 39 weeks today, hoping baby waits until due date so my mum and dad are here; naughty wee thing has turned breech though...
xx

 

[LalaR]

Lucy - can't believe you are almost done already!! Not so good that the baby is breech though. Are they planning to section you or try a natural birth? I hope your last week or so goes ok.

I'm fine. 24 weeks tomorrow and bump is growing. I've had some pelvic pain but just getting on with it really. Time seems to be going so slowly just now. I start my midwife appointments tomorrow which brings the end a bit closer.

I hope everyone else is doing ok.

 

[holywoodmum]

I have to go to the hospital on thursday to "discuss my options" I think as they are expecting me to have another big baby they will want to do a section (both DDs were over the advised limit for vaginal breech birth...) so I'm hoping it turns!
Get some physio if you can for the pelvic pain, it's really the only thing that will help, and if you start it early enough it should be really effective!

 

[LalaR]

I hope baby turns too -for you!! A section would be safer than trying to deliver a big breech baby though. Good luck on Thursday.

I have been going to physio since 19 weeks. Next appointment in 1 week thank god. I have crutches but really don't want to have to resort to using them. The nature of my job means a belt would not be helpful as it needs to be taken off every time you sit. Boo!

aw Lyns, sorry to hear that You've done it once before, so keep the faith - and only another month now for your referral, so hopefully that will get things moving in the right direction again x
