UB and Mummy - Congrats on hearing your LOs!! I think it's time for me to order one!

Ziggie - Great scan pic!!! It looks like a girl nub!!

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Love love love your scan photo!

I'm too excited for mine, it's still 2 weeks 4 days away lol

 

[Ziggie]

Thanks!!!! Will see if you're right when it's born dolce

Not long UB! Consultant gave me the all clear to travel today so have 4 days to decide if I'm making my trip to the US on Saturday!!

It's a pretty clear photo isn't it!!

 

[Mummy to be x]

Oh wow that scan pic is amazing!! Proper little baby now

Finally!!! Back in front of my computer instead of trying to read all that on my cell phone! LoL I had a great weekend, busy but great. I have a theory about my spotting. I'm pretty sure it's just from an overly sensitive cervix. The spotting is usually always only in the morning, it's brown in color and always mixed with my CM, it's never just spotting alone. So I'm assuming the progesterone is irritating the cervix since I put it in at night.

Yesterday when I finally was able to go poo (sorry lol) I didn't push awfully hard but had to push some and a bit more than usual (about the size of a US nickle/or a 1 euro coin) came out. It was again mixed with cm but this time was a hint of red/pink mixed with the brown. I of course freaked out....but then through the rest of the day, nothing.

And this morning, it was just a speck of brown when I wiped, about the size of a lentil. I've had no cramps, some twinges here and there around my ovaries but I recall that from last time, I'm actually having LESS cramping this time around than last. So I'll mention it to my OB when she calls later this week with the results of my blood work. But strangely, I'm not too freaked out by it

Eme - Hope you get to do your 4 hours and be done! Good luck with your hectic day! Rest up later!

*thank you! I took a nap at the party haha I was worn out!

Today is the dance recital for my older daughter. She's very excited, and the dress rehearsal was cute. I'm looking forward to school and activities being on hiatus for the summer though. We need a break!

*I read what happened with your DD at the recital, I would have been so mad too! That's so irresponsible for them to sequester the children in an area unknown to parents!!! It's not like this is a professional play or ballet where they need to "focus" it's children for goodness sake!

My son seems to make mess enough for 4 kids so I really don't see the point until he goes to bed and by then I'm ready for bed![/QUOTE]

I feel for ya! I'm having a hard time keeping our place tidy and it's just the two of us!!!

How is everyone? I don't get on here much at the minute due to revising for exams :-/ but I've got my last one tomorrow so hopefully I'll be on abit more
I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere with this prwgnancy! Almost 12 weeks and iv gotten pretty good at finding baby with the doppler too so that's good! Xxx

Good luck on the exam, let us know how it goes!!

We are going to have to move, we're looking at moving in four weeks! it's in South Wales and we live five hours from there! That's were hubby is originally from though. I have mixed feelings to be honest about it all but it's a good payed job so I will shut up and put up

I have ordered the sono line b I'm so excited to get it

I'm so glad you found your lo's heartbeat! How exciting!!! Make sure to take it easy with the move though! I know it's hard to sit back and not help as much, but make sure you don't over do it, it's so easy to forget that when so much needs to get done and packed! Just do a little each day (even if it seems like you have plenty of time) this way you're not rushing and over doing it in the last days before the move!

12 weeks 5 days officially!

Omgosh Ziggie what a GREAT SCAN PIC!!!!!! How wonderful!!!!

 

[ab75]

Lovely scan pic zig. I say boy xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I'd love to visit the US, it's the amount of time on the plane that puts me off. I can't get up and walk round on the plane it terrifies me!

 

[Ziggie]

Thanks abs

I hate flying, I normally drink lots lol!!!!! I have flown to china alone before now though, so US should be ok.... People are kind of mixed about whether I should go or not. My mum doesn't sound too keen!!! Argh decisions

 

[UniqueBeauty]

As long as you move about a bit you should be okay, right?

 

[eme]

yeah flying during pregnancy, as long as you get the okay from your doctor, is totally fine. My BFF came to Cambodia with me two years ago when she was 7 months pregnant! We flew NYC to Japan (14hrs) then to Bangkok (7hrs) then an almost 9hr bus ride to Cambodia!!!! She was perfectly fine =) Although I don't think I would've been able to do it haha!

But do what's right for you Ziggie, if you're having a TON of apprehension then you might not enjoy it as much as you should. But at the same time, realistically you won't be able to do this trip again for a very long time It depends on how long you've been looking forward to doing the trip and what feels best/right for you!!

 

[Ziggie]

Thanks ladies!! Im actually feeling quite positive.... But other people sow seeds of doubt in your mind!!! Other half is positive, he says go and he will buy me a ticket home if needs be! And just to change one of my bookings (I'd planned to stay in a hostel in LA but will change to a hotel).

People have said how would I feel if something happened... I'd probably feel as awful as if it happened here....

Aww OH sounds wonderful =) and not to sound mean, but that's a pretty cruel thing to say to an expectant mum! Exactly, you'd feel just as awful in the US as you would at home. that actually makes me kinda mad anyone would say that! Traveling is NOT going to ~cause~ anything to happen that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Your doctor has said you're good to go, you feel good about it, your OH supports you fully......I say go, have a blast, and just pay attention to what your body is telling you.

Oh I wanted to mention, drink up a bit more than normal in these days before going. The time to hydrate properly is within the days leading up to travel. And when you get to your gate, just speak with the agents working/boarding the flight to ask for a seat near a lavatory. That way you don't have to make long trips to the toilet. They usually have plenty of seats available to move around, sometimes not though. And be sure to pack some snacks (almonds, granola bars, etc) in case you get a moment of hunger when they aren't serving anything. Or if all that's left for a meal choice grosses you out haha!

Out of curiosity, who are you flying??

 

[Ziggie]

Thanks, that's great advice! You know, I can't actually remember which airline I'm flying now lol!!!!!!!! A big one though I think. I need to check all my paperwork this week!

I'm back in work tomorrow, which doesn't help lol!

 

[Mummy to be x]

Good luck with the flight ziggie, I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine

 

[Ziggie]

Ahhhh my other half has just changed his Facebook profile picture to "keep calm I'm gonna be a dad" LOL how cute!!!!!

(I'm sat in bed so I didn't know!)

 

[Mummy to be x]

That's so sweet!

 

[eme]

Oh how cute!!!

Well, if you're flying Delta by any chance that's my airline!! And I could look up to see if I know anyone working your flight and make sure they take good care of you!
