I think it's a girl just because I have a strong feeling but also because of the nub theory, not that there's any science in that haha.
Selina yes I'll straddle both though I'll be surprised if I go full term as my DS was born at 36weeks.
When they heard that I'm going on a long haul flight tomorrow they insisted that I go to get measured for flight socks so my scan ended up taking 2hrs!!x

Have a nice holiday, where you off to? x

To visit my family in America! We just did Glasgow - London and DS chatted the whole way, even though it's 10.30pm!! They damaged my buggy in transit so we're not happy!x
So I've had it pretty easy so far as far as symptoms go but today I feel like I've been hit by a truck omg nauseous terrible headache and just feeling really crappy all round ugh hopefully feel better tomorrow
I'm loving seeing all these scan photos - I feel so far behind you all though because I'm not due until the end of Jan! I am 8+2 and my mum thinks I look round already. Quite scary!! Do you think that's possible?! I thought it would ages until that happened! Xxx
Hello ladies, another lovely scan how cute . I hope no one minds if I have a little rant..? Feeling very upset at the moment.
I went to the doctors today about my anti depressants. I am on 20mg of citalopram. The drs said if I continue the tablets in the first tri there's a risk that my baby can be born with a heart defect. And if I take the tablets in tri 3 the baby will be born with withdrawal symptoms - jittery, upset, shaking etc. And will need monitoring for a few days.
But if i try to come off them the effects it'll have on me will be catastrophic. Citalopram is known to be the worst to come off. Makes you very sick, migraines, dizzy, suicidal, depressed, electric shock feelings etc. Plus I live alone with just me and my 2 year old so I don't know how I'd cope .
I just feel like it's a lose lose situation. I honestly don't know what to do . Wish I'd known about this before now .
Thank you Carly and Justme. That makes me feel a little reassured. I think I'll try your suggestion Carly of going down to 15mg by cutting one in half. Hopefully it won't be too much of a shock to my system. The doctor I saw wasn't a very nice one unfortunately and she just made me feel so guilty for being on them in the first place.
So much stress going on at the mo and this is just added stress. I'll book an appointment to see another doctor and in the mean time try and reduce to 15mg. Thank you ladies xx

I'd be wary of self medicating without support, but I definitely suggest a second opinion. There are charities you can call who specialise with mental health and the medication that goes with that. Maybe they can offer sound medical advice. In my experience doctors are quick to dish out citalopram and similar without the support or aftercare. I've found it incredibly frustrating at times! Luckily I feel in a good place right now and I've managed to get myself on the waiting list for counselling.
If you need anything further or you aren't getting the support you need, feel free to talk to me. We'll try find you some information x
Thank you Hun, that's kind of you to say. And yes you're right about what you said in regards to citalopram. Hopefully the doctor I see on Monday will be a bit more helpful. I'm struggling as it is being a single mum to a toddler with another wee one on the way.
Very pleased you're in a good place now though x x
