Great news love87 & sjenkins we were due some good news on this thread!
Lyndsey, lovely to hear from you and that you're doing well. Stay strong! All the best on your new journey xx

 

[Siskin]

Lovely scans people! I wish I didn't have to wait so long for mine (it's not till 3 Dec). Think that's the day after yours Blueclass? We can worry together until then!

Can anyone answer this - with regards to the NHS trisomy screening - I know they'll measure the nuchal thickness at the scan and combine this with my blood test results to come up with a risk. Is this the blood tests that I had done at my booking appt, or will they take more at the scan appt? I ask because my booing appt was when I was 9 weeks approx and I think that may be too early for the blood tests to be accurate?

LyndseyB, I'm glad you're feeling better. I always think that miscarriage sounds like such a traumatic thing to have to experience - I don't just mean losing your baby, I mean the medical aspect of it and all the appointments and the need to wait for treatments to work, etc. If men had babies and had to go through all that there'd be a national outcry! I hope that doesn't come across as insensitive, I suppose I am in awe of the bravery of women in dealing with miscarriages so stoically. I really really hope that when you're ready you get your take-home baby.

Siskin, with mine they used the bloods from my booking-in when I was 10+6. It might be different for each area but I was told the bloods had to taken after 10 weeks so you'd better check so there are no delays getting your results. My SIL had her bloods taken too early and had to take them again a week later.

Siskin I had more blood taken at my scan for my nuchal test. Had a blood form in with my maternity notes that the mw gave me and my booking in appt.

I'm having a bit of a breakdown this morning and currently sat here crying my eyes out at the bottom of the stairs so the boys don't see me. It's all minor things but it has all come this morning so not coping. 1st my boss tells me I'm not entitled to ssp when I am, then I can't take any holiday til the new year so I can't go and see my family before Christmas. Harry was up from 1:30-2:30am and then James was up 3-5am so not much sleep. Then I find out my tumble dryer is one that is affected and could set on fire when used. Then the boys pulled all the paperwork off the table and have lost the first hair curl from James' 1st haircut certificate. Then to top of the morning my friend messaged me to say her 2nd ivf cycle failed last week and I have to find out how to tell her I'm pregnant again before I announce on fb and she sees it! Oh and because I didn't get much sleep last night I feel so sick and nauseous xx

 

[BabyMaker]

Oh kanga, i'm sorry you're having a sh*tty morning Everything will be 10 times worse with the lack of sleep. I guess with regards to your boss you'll just have to find the facts, print them out and show him/send to him? You have worked there since the beginning of this pregnancy so you're defo entitled to something. What a horrible man!
With regards to your friend that must be really tough. But a good friend will always be happy for their friend so she'd probably appreciate you told her first and even though it would hurt that her cycle failed, I'm sure she'll be pleased for you. I've read a lot of stories/forum threads about this and alot of women suggest texting the friend with your news so that she can react however she needs to without having to put on a brave face in front of you. Then in her own time she can text you or see you or call you whatever she chooses to do which might be easier for her. Just a suggestion.
Hope the hair lock turns up Sending you hugs! xx

[Blueclass]

Can any one give advice... Iv been suffering so so bad from head aches. I have them everyday and one minute it's not there then bang it's like it's punching me in the head. When or can it become a problem? X

 

[sjenkins1756]

Hey Bluecalss, I've been using something called 4head! It helps me as I have them really bad..... also sick bands xx

 

[Blueclass]

Hey Bluecalss, I've been using something called 4head! It helps me as I have them really bad..... also sick bands xx

OK well I will go in boots in a sec as put and get some. Does sick hands help your head aches, I feel silly writing that. I get waves of nausea then it goes but it's because my head aches are so bad and constant. I can't remember a day when iv not had a head ache. I'm also waiting on doctor to call me back regarding this. I used to suffer with migraines before when I was on pill and after that. Xx

 

[sjenkins1756]

find the sick bands help me with my headaches and 4head really helps!! I had one so bad on Sunday it made me sick….. But seems to have calmed down now xxx

 

[kanga86]

So I'm feeling a bit brighter this morning. I still need to sort my stuff out with my boss and awaiting a message back from him. I have messaged my friend too and feel awful about telling her my news bit would rather her know from me and not fb. Also I managed to find the first hair curl of James' it was stuck to him lol

Hope your headaches ease up Blueclass and sjenkins as they just awful. I use 4head or the cool n soothe strips (overnight as you lol like a fool lol) xx

 

[umbongo]

I'm glad things are improving kanga, what a nightmare morning! Hopefully your boss will sort his facts out!
My headaches have definitely improved a lot if that's any encouragement. I'm probably 9 or 10 weeks.
Everything seems to be costing money lately and I'm yet to start Christmas shopping! Oops! Feels like I can't focus on it until we have a scan!

 

[YorksLass]

Aw, good to find that cute little curl kanga, glad things are looking up.
Lyndsey, hope you're ok, thinking of you.
Siskin - my scan's the 3rd too at 2:30

 

[BabyMaker]

Lol Kanga, that made me laugh. Glad you're feeling better today and that you're sorting through the obstacles.
I had the flu jab yesterday, and yesterday + today I feel rubbish! Maybe it's a coincidence. Nausea is back and utter exhaustion!! Thought we were getting better in Tri2

[kanga86]

I know babymaker I couldn't believe where the curl ended up, I had to get a pic lol I told my friend and in her messages back she has been super supportive as she is so happy for me yet she is feeling sad for herself not being able to experience it and why is it her having such a hard time getting pregnant.

Just got to hope my boss sorts everything out, although I think I am on his most hated list, I must be a terrible employee. My last 3 jobs have been short ones. 1st I started Jan was off with morning sickness Feb and March then on maternity early August. 2nd I was there 3 weeks before breaking my foot and being off for 9wks then they sacked me. 3rd started start of Sept off on with morning sickness for 4wks and going on mater its hopefully in April and with the way he has been to me probably not returning!!

I'm having some pretty rough nausea days too and it is tiresome now although I know things don't usually pick up for properly until 18 ish weeks nausea wise. I was on anti sickness meds til 23- 24wks last time, but I slowly reduced from 3 a day to 1 a day to 1 every other day etc. But on the whole I do feel better generally, not that I'm letting hubby off from doing lots of the jobs at home just yet lol

 

[Blueclass]

Thanks for the idea of 4 head. Iv used it and it seems to work rather well. I'm so pleased it's Wednesday means it's 6 days till my scan. Im not counting today as the day is nearly over. I want next week to hurry up! Xx

 

[sjenkins1756]

4head does really help not long till you're scan hun xx

 

[Blueclass]

I know but feels long enough.
I know this might be to much information but I'm in alot of pain right now as iv not been to the toilet. The fact I'm bloated all the time and quite literally full of crap my clothes are looking even more tight. I'm going to try and get a doctors appointment today and get something. He gave me some stuff before but tastes so bad makes me feel sick. Anyway just wondered if anyone one else is suffering with this joy.
