## March 2018 Mummies Tri 1 Thread ##

Haylian - I love the name Violet that was my top name last time for.a girl but had a little boy! It's really hard to think of anything original but I love the announcements with the older sibling holding the scan pic - especially if you take it just after you tell her and get a good reaction! How old is your daughter? My son is 3.5 and been asking for a while f he can have a brother and if we can buy one from the shop so pretty sure he's going to be happy! The only thing is he does t understand time very well so will expect a sibling immendiately! Going to tell him the day we have scan.

Ahh Thank you Summertime, it was one of my mums suggestions and I loved it instantly. Although I know it's increased in popularity since I still think it's quite rare.
She'll be 4 next month! Can't believe it, it's gone so fast.

I feel like time is going so slowly again at the minute! I'm trying to count down to Violets Birthday which is 3 weeks today rather than my 12 week scan. I just hope I get my letter soon so I can aim for a date. I'm pretty sure when I get past that 12 week point it will fly by. That's what all my friends have said about their second pregnancies anyway
 
Hey girls, how are you all doing?

Had my 12 week private scan yesterday which went really well. Harmony tests showed low risk for Down's and other trisonomies they test for so am really really pleased.

Charlotte; this was my second scan. Had one at 10 weeks as part of the package the Fetal Medical Centre offered.

Will attach my scan pic xx

For some reason the picture is sideways!

Ljd - really glad you scan went well, is your expected due date still the same??

Hayli - with you the wait to the 12 week scan seems to take forever! Also it's the trimester I feel my worst if my first pregnancy is anything to go by yet the trimester supposed to keep it secret and act normal!

Went for lunch with a good friend yesterday and ended up spilling the beans, was good to have someone to get excited with as hubby said he doesn't want to talk about it til we've had the scan! I know I'm getting ahead of myself but already started looking up nursery ideas and bit of bobs I want to get.

11 weeks tomorrow and hopefully scan letter will be arriving this week, agreed if it's not before our hol at 13+3 going to pay and get private scan before we go as want to tell our family we're going on hols with.

I've been so lazy this weekend my sons at his grandparents so have just lazed around watching tv! Rare luxury having free time but exhaustion is back so no energy for doing anything.

Hope everyone enjoying the long weekend xx
 
Ahh what a lovely scan ldj, glad all was ok.

I'm thanking the heavens for my husband this weekend. I have been so sick and hardly able to get on my feet! He's done everything, I hate how poorly I feel! And I hate that I feel unable to do things with my daughter. I cherish our weekends and we're always off out doing things. Today I have sat on the sofa, laid in bed and even on the floor just trying to find a way to feel less sick. Feeling very sorry for myself :(. Reeeeeally hope this passes this time around, not sure I could do a full pregnancy feeling like this again.
Sorry for the downer post :(
 
Oh Haylian. How awful for you. I really hope the sickness goes soon. Is there anything the doctor can prescribe to help? Pregnancy is so so hard. Said to hubby yesterday that I couldn't do it again after this one. Plus I'm petrified of giving birth again. I don't know whether to go natural or c section. Worried natural will leave in even more of a state down below!

Summertime they said my new due date is 7th March. I have 12 week scan on Wednesday too so will see what they say there too. Where are you going on holiday? We're off on hol soon to Corfu! I can't wait! Going to miss the cocktails though xx
 
Hayli sorry you're feeling bad, I had this a few weekends ago and my husband was away and I couldn't leave the house with my son as felt too ill, I had to bribe him with all day to and snacks!! The worst was when I had to go to a birthday party and go on a bouncy castle was so close to vomiting.

How long did this last with your first? I didn't have sickness first time round so assumed I'd be lucky again. It's only on and off now, I find if I don't eat I feel worse but rally hard forcing stuff down.

Ljd we are off to Lanzarote, we are going Thursday to Thursday but I've booked 8 working days off work so I can take my time getting all our stuff ready and then chill out when we get back. Can't wait for the break. My parents are staying at same hotel so will get help with my son and will get a couple of afternoon last just with my son x
 
How lovely! We are also going with my parents so will get help with our son...result! Hope you have a lovely time xx
 
Yeah it's funny I was always desperate to start going on hol without my parents but now we have my son it's a different story! My parents live few hours away down in Devon so it's great for my son to get time with them, especially melt my heart seeing my dad playing with my son in the pool etc!

It's red hot here and planning to brave the play park later but realised have no shorts I can do up so having to wear black leggings!
 
Sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish Haylian. Hopefully it will settle down soon, feeling sick really makes the time drag as well doesn't it :(

We've told all our family and close friends now, it's amazing how good it feels to have everyone know - it's as though I was stressing about it subconsciously and now I just feel relaxed and confident about it all. Or maybe it's a surge of hormones, who knows!

I'm 14 weeks tomorrow - trousers are getting uncomfortable so I'm starting to look for looser work clothes before I go back to work next week. Not actually got a bump, but I've obviously changed shape in some way! I'm excited about getting a proper baby bump, sure I'll be fed up of it in a few months' time though...
 
Ooh, and have a lovely holiday ljd and summertime!
 
I've set up the tri 2 thread for those who are ready to move across, although it will be a bit quiet for a while I'm sure!
 
Ljd what an amazing scan pic!
Hope you and summertime have lovely holidays :-).
Ive been completely floored this past week but went to the coast for a few days break with my family and my sister fussed around me and did all cooking etc which was lovely!
Well im 14 weeks in a couple of days so Merry I will be joining the tri 2 thread with you very soon! X
 
Thanks all, managed to get through work today but now back to sitting quietly in the hope I'm not sick.
It lasted my entire pregnancy last time :(.

Where about in Lanzarote are you going Summertime? We went in June and really enjoyed it. We're hoping to go away again next year before Violet and my nephew start school. I feel like I want to countdown already haha.

For now I just really want my scan date so I can book a UK break for September. Violet has never stayed in a caravan and I think she'll really enjoy it
 
Hayli that sounds awful - are you actually being sick or just feeling sick? Not sure if there's meds you can get to help??

We are going to Playa Blanca, never been before but staying at a family friendly hotel with kids clubs and good kids pools so think my son is going to love it. 4 hours flight but getting a portable dvd player so that should keep him amused on the flight. We don't go until the 14th so still a little way to wait.

On post watch this week as my scan letter should be arriving any day, will be 12 weeks on Monday! Midwife said if letter hasn't arrived by Friday to call as my scan will have been booked but letter may have been delayed. Feel like an impatient child waiting for this scan!!

My boss is off this week so won't have to work as late in the evening so nice to take it easier for a week.

See the T2 thread which is exciting but still a few more weeks in here for me :-)
 
Lou - how exciting! Looking forward to reading about it tomorrow :-)

I'm still playing the waiting game with the scan letter! We booked our hol before got my bfp and there's a high chance it's going to be for the week we are away but prepared and got back up plan to have a private one.
 
Good luck tomorrow Lou! Make sure to post your scan pic!

I gave in and bought a doppler! Felt 19.99 was worth it so looking forward to it arriving in a few days.x

I just feel sick all the time, although I was sick at work this morning :(

We went to playa Blanca, hotel was Flamingo Beach. Really nice, bet you can't wait.

Ooh can't wait to see another scan pic tomorrow, hope all goes well Lou.

I'm on post watch too, expecting my letter this week, eeeek!
