Good luck for your scan today!

I’m currently watching some Dopplers on eBay. I know I may not find baby and have no idea what I’m looking for but thought it would be amazing to try and find and potentially let others Hear too! It’s either this or book myself in for another ultrasound

Feeling a bit gutted really. My ‘12’ week scan is on 21st Jan where I will actually be 13+2. Not at all impressed!

Thank you. Currently doing the 'I need the loo dance'. Scan's in 90mins but know if I go now my bladder will be pitifully empty at the scan. Damn my small bladder!

 

[Sugarpop]

Oh my god wee!

You only need like a pint and a half 60 mins before and I never do that. I drink a pint 60 mins before and then a half pint 15 or 20 mins after and I am still ready to burst! Wee woman wee!

 

[Krazy Kitten]

Well it all went well. Baby is wiggly. I did have a slightly overfull bladder so squished the squidge a little. Oopsie! It's a fine line with me as my bladder is terrible!

The reassurance was the most important thing to me anyway and I got that. 9 days to nhs scan and 14 days until tri 2. I've got this

 

[Radleycat]

So glad the scan went well and you have been reassured xx

Been a hard week again for me, this just doesn't suit me at all. After a day on surgical to get my bowels moving, I spent the next day with diarrhoea all day then vomiting started in the evening. DH had norovirus and I caught it. Cue 6 hours or projectile vomiting and diarrhoea. Awful.

That was weds night. I've been in bed since, stomach pains are awful. Managing to eat and drink a little now but am worried about being dehydrated. If anyone wants a detox, norovirus is the way to do it but not when pregnant

I have my 12 week scan on Monday. I should be excited as the last scan 3 weeks ago was all OK showing two beans with heartbeats. But as I've been so unwell now for weeks, with this on top I'm just scared they won't be OK. I still have symtoms and haven't had any bad pains or anything but it's still a worry

Great news Krazy! So glad all is well with bubba
Good luck on Monday Radley. Hope you feel better soon. Sounds like you’ve had a tough ride so far this pregnancy hope Tri 2 treats you better.
Got booking in appt on weds - finally!
Ladies past 12 weeks, do you feel better yet? This nausea and exhaustion is just plain torture now
Got a family get-together tomorrow and I just don’t know how i’ll get through it. The in-laws organise it once a year after Xmas and it’s usually an all afternoon and evening thing. I feel terrible in the afternoons and even worse in the evenings. Really can’t be a*sed to make small talk and catch up with people we rarely see
Rant over lol!

Yes alot better. I have tons of energy atm and no sickness, yay. I didn't think I'd ever feel fine again but it has improved the last week.

It’s seems longer to wait at first but you actually appreciate it being later when you have it as baby is ever bigger & clearer

Same as marvellousmum, feeling a lot better now. I’d say it’s been the last couple of weeks where it’s changed & got better. No sickness & can actually stay up past 8pm again. Boobs still slightly sore but not half as bad as there were before so it does get better!

Beautiful scan pics!
Ive been struggling with hyperemesis gravidarum but otherwise all is good.

Ah radley I also have 12 week scan on Monday! Ill be anything from 13 weeks to 14+2 so hoping to get an exact date amd due date!

Cant wait to be well and truly in tri 2...I remember it being the best time in my last pregnancy.

Hope everyone is well.

So this morning I’ve woken up with what looks like a blister on my bottom lip which is making it swollen. I am prone to cold sores and do get a couple a year (including one when I first found out that lasted ages) but this is different. It’s a few blisters together and doesn’t feel or look like a normal cold sore.

Anybody any ideas?

Sounds like mouth ulcer. With the lowered immunity I think thy can be quite common and unfortunately bloody sore

It does sound like a mouth ulcer.
Bonjela will help, hopefully a short lived one.

Im so nervous/anxious/excited for my scan tomorrow. I have an appointment with the research midwives before as Ive been asked to participate in a study for being moderate risk for pre term labour...umm great?!
Although my reasoning is if it helps people with warning signs in the future than great. It means even more scans (of my cervix) and bloods - but that doesnt bother me. So tomorrow will be at least 2 hours at the hospital with appointments.

I feel bad for everyone struggling with things like sickness. I think I'm over the worst of tri 1 symptoms now! (fingers crossed)

Really glad I had the scan the morning I did as I went into work that afternoon and got back stabbed. Shame they have themselves so well covered I can't fight back that it is pregnancy discrimination. Can't go into details as I don't want to rat myself out. Just wished things had worked out so they didn't know I was pregnant quite yet.

Safe to say I'm going to get to maternity leave so I get my smp, then hand in my resignation just before I'm due back. I refuse to work somewhere I don't feel valued.

I would leave now but there's very little chance I would get a new job, start it, and work the 28 weeks needed for smp entitlement before I gave birth.

It sucks so much. Everytime I think of the baby now I end up crying over the fact I'm a rubbish provider for them, and how I don't know how we can afford everything it'll need.

I know what you mean about not wanting to work somewhere you don't feel valued. I had a similar experience a few years back and left for that reason! It shows you have self-respect which is a good quality to have and great one to pass onto baby and going by what you're saying, you'll be much happier if you leave. Happy mum = happy baby, so do what makes you happy I say.

Here are my thoughts about money. My OH is disabled so doesn't work and I started my own business recently, so when baby comes we won't have a lot either. The way I think of it is, being happy is a lot more important than having money. Money can't buy happiness, nor can it buy a loving family and environment. The most important things your baby needs from you are precisely what money can't buy: love and happiness. Another way to look at it is that, so long as you have a roof over your head, food in your fridge and shoes on your feet, you're wealthier than 70% of the world's population. When you think of your financial situation that way, you realise you're doing better than you think. Plus, babies and toddlers are not as aware, if aware at all, of material things in the way we might be, so you could always spend those early years finding ways to improve your finances. Your baby can grow along with your finances, your current financial situation doesn't have to last forever

Will you get any maternity pay from work? If so you will need to work 13 weeks (I think) when you go back after maternity leave or you will need to pay it all back. Atleast that’s what happens in my council anyway.

I will only get smp so I won't have to pay anything back at all luckily. I just have to follow the correct resignation process. I might be a low level worker but it seems they don't think I have a brain.

Thank you. It is very true that money doesn't equal happiness, I just want to at least end up living in a place they will have their own room. OH and I already agreed if we can't move by the time they deserve their own room we'll bunk it in the lounge. Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that!

My scan went really well. Twin 1 was not cooperating and you could seem them using me as a tranpoline. Im 13+5 and due 10.07.19

Very excited now!

 

[Sugarpop]

Lovely scans! They are so clear!
