[jenny25]

Happy 18 weeks davies xxx

 

[bumpyplease]

Pretty is it your 12 week scan tomorrow? I find it hard to keep up as you don't have a ticker!!!!! Excited for you!

My first scan tomorrow I'll be 7 weeks!! Starting toget proper nervous I've never been to a good scan and I'm entering my critical stage where I lose my babies!

 

[daviess3]

Bumpy pma! An Jen story is so sad my thoughts are with there families there whole world must b upside down. .x

 

[Pretty Please]

bumpy - fingers crossed for you tom - what time is your scan at? I really hope its good news for you and you see bubs hb. God its so nerve wracking isnt it. Shame scanners are so expensive or we could all invest in one at home and see bubs when ever we fancied.

Yes mine is at 10:00 scared !!!! I know I will do a ticker tom if its good news )

Davies - saw you was writing about prams other day - have you seen the phil and teds / mountain range might be good as they have 3 large wheels if you have to walk your dog in the woods / grass. My friend has a bugaboo not the bee one the cam one and she complains that she finds it hard to get up curbs in central london so might not be good on dog walking duties over tree roots etc but you might want to ask a few more people their views before you buy.....

 

[heart tree]

It's 4:30am and I can't sleep! I'm too excited about my little girl.

I can't wait to shop. We're not going to do a lot of pink, but I'm sure she'll get some pink.

Hopeful, have a great scan today.

Croy and Davies, happy 18 weeks. I can't wait to be there tomorrow!

Happy 12 weeks Jenny! What a beautiful milestone.

Bumpy, I put everyone's scan dates on the front page if you ever need to see who's next. You and Pretty are tomorrow. Good luck girls.

 

[jenny25]

I got a question girls when should I stop my folic acid as I've been on 5mg since day one xx

Thanks davies I will probably see him when I'm up in Scotland next month I won't know what too say x

 

[heart tree]

Jenny I wasn't told to stop it. I take the same amount as you. I assumed I would take it throughout the pregnancy. Were you told otherwise?

 

[3xscharmer]

Heart - congrats!! Having a little girl is so much fun! Plus the clothes and little dresses are super cute and super fun to buy!

Jen - Happy 12 weeks!!

Daviess and croy - happy 18 weeks!

Bumpy - good luck on the scan!!

AFM - I was a little more nauseas this am so that's an improvement but obviously still scared! Ahhh well, trying to just pass the time until 8 weeks so I can go to the doctor! OMG yall, just looked outside and it's raining/storming and DH just left to go fishing lol!

 

[Pretty Please]

When you seeing your mw jenny? best to ask them as some people need to take it longer. I know nhs standard general advise is to stop at 12 weeks for the majority of people. When I see my mw on fri I am going to ask that very question why to stop at 12 weeks - Ill let u know what she says

 

[filipenko32]

Bumps, you're BOUND to be nervous it's only normal after 4 losses. Most of the girls on here had never seen a normal scan before and it's happened for them! You've got great signs so far I really think this could be your rainbow baby x x x

 

[heart tree]

Charmer, yay for nausea!!! Boo for crazy rain and DH out in it fishing!

Pretty, I had no idea we were supposed to go off of folic acid. I'm MTHFR hetero so they advised extra folic acid as it is possible my body doesn't absorb it as well. But now that I know there are no neural tube defects, I wonder if I can stop taking the extra amount. I'll ask my doc in a few weeks.

So true Fili. I'm still in shock every time they tell me things are good. I still have a hard time believing them. I find myself asking "Really?" to them all the time. Like I need them to keep verifying that all is good. Like I somehow think they are lying to me.

The first scan is the WORST! I have no suggestions of how to ease the anxiety. There is nothing easy about it after recurrent losses. After seeing bad scan after bad scan. All I know is that each one of us is so strong on this thread and we can take whatever is handed to us. We've proven ourselves as strong women. My hope is that we don't get anymore bad news. From here on out, it's good news all the way.

 

[filipenko32]

My af is Not here!! must have been imagining things. Just eaten tonnes of pineapple and water. Have such cramps can't be long, af today is still ok time wise.

You definitely carry on with folic acid I believe.
