Well got another booking in appointment arranged, will be this Friday now, I'll be 10weeks, hope it doesn't take too long for my scan date to come through after that.

 

[jojo3972]

It doesn't usually sproglet and they do like u to have the scan done between 12-14 weeks usually so ur scan will probs come through next week and I would say it will be for the following week xx

 

[kautostar]

Was brave and made my first doctors appointment for tomorrow. Been waiting till I get to 6 weeks to do this, so can't put it off any longer...

 

[Sproglett]

Agree Jojo, round here they like to do it between 11&14 weeks, but it usually takes 2-3 weeks to generate it after the booking in, hopefully won't be too long to wait x

with my previous pregnancies I've been about 8w for them lol, it gives me something to look forward to I suppose, I set myself little milestones to help me get thorough cuz of my previous losses...

• the day after I find out I'm pregnant (this is when I lost my 3rd)
• 6w (this is when I bled with my ectopic pregnancy)
• 6w-7w early pregnancy scan to see baby in the right place with a heart beat (due to ectopic)
• 8-10w booking in appointment
• 11w (this is how far I was when I bled with my mmc - scan showed no hb)
• 12w scan

There are plenty more as I get further too, these are just my first trimester ones lol

Don't know if it's hormones or not but I'm craving chocolate like mad. Last couple of weeks I've been super healthy then this weekend hubby and I had a little pig out weekend of crisps, chocs etc which was lovely! Yesterday all I could think about was chocolate and today I had to go to the shop and came away with a box of Jaffa cakes and a bag of aero bubbles I can't stop eating them all! Thing is, I'm trying to milk it telling hubby it must be a pregnancy craving but he said I can't play that card seeing as I've been craving chocolate my whole life!! He's got a point! Thing is, I feel a bit sad about the fact I won't have any chocolate later or tomorrow! I can't carry on eating it like I have today as I'll be about 40 stone and it can't be very good for the baby... Oops! X

Oh dear hehe! Bless you. As long as you don't have too much due to caffeine and fat content I'm sure you'll be fine. But I guess if it's what you want, just eat it!!! I'm the opposite - I love chocolate but chocolate, cake and similar foods are making me feel instantly sick. It's a shame as it was my birthday on Friday and I've got three boxes of Thorntons!!! So they've gone in the cupboard and I've just had strawberries and grapes - go me lol! Still feel sick like, but less sick!

Ps I love Jaffa cakes!!!

 

[jojo3972]

I'm craving all things bad Lucy aswel carbs, pop , chocolate I never eat chocolate usually , the pop helps with the sickness tho so I have an excuse for that but I've started drinking lucozade to help with energy levels aswel , I'm sat thinking about cooking the slag nil but the thought of the mince cooking is making me feel rather ill and gaggy this is not gd I have a family to feed lol I'm just gonna have to grin and bare it :/ ah the joys hey lol xx

 

[cornishfairy]

Oh shit, I never thought about caffeine in chocolate!!!! Uh oh! I wonder how much is in it? I won't tell hubby that as he'll ban me from eating any chocolate at all, he's so super strict, watching what I'm eating/drinking all the time and if I have something new he'll pipe up 'are you sure it's safe to eat that?' It's quite sweet really as he just wants the best for our baby, but if he tries to come between me and my chocolate I'll have to kill him...! x

 

[MrsT2711]

I'm the same as you Vic! Although to be fair I'm struggling with most things... Managed a bowl of cereal and a bag of ready salted crisps today. It'll be interesting to see everyones cravings have anything to do with the baby's sex xx

 

[Katkin72]

I seem to want lots of savoury things with salt I know too much salt is bad for you, but I have a thing for Frazzles and ready salted crisps!! At slimming world last week I had already put on 4 1/2lbs, I'm dreading what I've put on this week when I go tonight. I know it's not the baby yet, it's me being a pig!!!

 

[cornishfairy]

Ooh frazzles....!! I could murder a bag of those! Good luck at weigh in kath, I weigh at home every week and only put on half a pound last week but think its gonna be more this week! X

 

[MrsPod]

I'm off sweet things generally. I don't think I'd feel sick if I had any, I just don't really want it. Coming from someone who has to have pudding if we go out for a meal and needs chocolate in the house at all times (normally if there's no chocolate in the house I HAVE to go and get some and eat it, but if we have some the need for it isn't as bad), this not wanting chocolate and cake generally is unusual. It would be interesting if there was a link between cravings/aversions and the sex of the baby xx

 

[frankie247]

I'm really averse to milk at the moment - can just about manage it in a cup of tea! I'm generally not fancying anything at the moment which makes dinners hard going! The only thing I'm really eating is fruit. I was the same with my daughter so wonder if it's another girl?!

 

[cornishfairy]

Yeah we should do a study on it, it'd keep up busy during tri1 at least then we can collect all the results once they're all born! I luckily have no sickness or food aversions at the moment so I'm not off anything, just on things more than normal x

 

[vic30]

Don't worry Cornish it's nothing like what's in a cup of tea or coffee. It's on the nhs website. Something like 25mg per 50g bar? Or that's prob wrong but it's on there lol!

I'm not really craving anything though I do keep thinking about lemons lol. Yes it would be interesting to see about cravings and sex of baby! I just want a scan now, I'm going mad! I keep thinking there's going to be no baby there, I know that's stupid with no bleeding it significant pain. I'm driving myself silly! xx

 

[MrsPod]

I know exactly what you mean vic. I'm desperate for my scan, keep getting excited when I get in from work and there's post only for my hopes of a scan date to be dashed by bumpf and bills xx

 

[pink79]

vic you are not alone! I have the same fear about the scan, at least I have a date though so not too long to wait!

I haven't really had any cravings as such although I have gone off things that I normally have all the time - I don't want diet coke (I used to have this every day and would go mad without it!) and the thought of coleslaw turns my stomach, I will normally be spooning it out of the tub!
I have also eaten beans on toast and enjoyed them - I can't normally stand beans and haven't eaten them in over 20 years!

 

[vic30]

Ooh it shouldn't be too long for you MrsPod! Hope the letter arrives soon. I'm only 6+5 but looking forward to booking in appointment a week on Thursday! xx
