May 2018 Mummies....Tri 2

[claire_louise9]

Hope the scan goes well today nat, what time do you have it ? And sorry you are feeling rubbish .
I have a doppler from when I was pregnant with Emily but I haven't used it yet. I'm 15 weeks and a bit scared it's too early . When did you start using yours ? I think I waited until after my 16 week midwife appointment last time.

Hi all,

Tentatively coming here, as scan put my EDD as 29th May which would mean I’m 13+6 today, although EDD from LMP is June 2nd which would make me 13+2! I’ll just float around 😂

 

[holli]

I haven't got a Doppler but I think I'd either be using it all time or I wouldn't know if it was me or willow as first time midwife used it she had to check my pulse against it and it was mine as mines pretty fast,
Good luck with your scan nat can't wait to see what colour you are- do you have any feelings on what your having? I'm with you on the feeling crappy I'm starting week 3 with it just starting to go throat and ear still hurts and still coughing like I smoke 60 a day (I've never smoked though) you can have lemsip my doctor said it was fine but I make my own I have dissolved paracetamol in hot water with honey and fresh lemon it helps ease it
Hey princessaxy congratulations on your pregnancy xx

Hi princessaxy welcome to the may group x how did your 12 week scan go ? And are you finding out the gender or staying team yellow ?

Hi princessaxy welcome to the may group x how did your 12 week scan go ? And are you finding out the gender or staying team yellow ?

Hi thanks! 12 week scan was all fine but I was a nightmare, cried throughout as I was so scared ! My next scan is early Jan if all is still well and will def be finding out gender - hate surprises haha.

I’ve felt quite strange since the scan, mixture of relief and terror at the thought that this is actually happening!

 

[claire_louise9]

Is this your first child princessaxy? I was relieved after my scan as I've been struggling mentally this pregnancy with worry .

 

[Princesssaxy]

Yeah first and likely to be only child, so worried about it going well etc but not really knowing what to expect. I have a consultant appt in 3 weeks who is a mental health specialist so we shall see what they say. Absolutely terrified of labour but I sort of wish it was here already !

 

[stargirl]

Just catching up ladies.
Cj hope you are ok. When do you get the results?
Nat, can't wait to find out if you are pink or blue?
Holli, sorry that you are still poorly. Love the prom though! It's lovely.
So my gender scan is tomorrow , we are so excited. Although I'm in work all day so it's going to be a long wait. I'm off work today with hubby as H has an ear nose and throat appointment at Alder Hey this afternoon. He needs grommits and his tonsils taking out but it's been a bit of a fight to get this appointment so I really hope the doctor agrees and we get an appointment for an op. Not too sure what to expect really.
I have defiantly got a baby bump. I'm a little overweight but the bump is noticeable and parents at work are now noticing and beginning to ask. I was waiting till 20 weeks to tell the children but not sure I'll be able to get away with it.
It's my Christmas night out this Saturday. i managed to find a gorgeous maternity dress on boohoo that I love and it shows the bump off lovely, I can't wait to wear it. Also hubby treated me to a hair cut on Saturday which has made me feel loads better and made my hair look better too. Worth every penny!

 

[GBLiz]

princessaxxy welcome! I put your date on the first page as the 29th as your midwives will use the scan date.

Everybody be sure to let me know if i have missed your date or your gender results! Look forward to more gender reveals coming in from those who can't bear the suspense ha ha.

I don't have a bump yet, thought I would as I only had a baby last year, but this seems to be following my usual pattern of not showing and having to be sent for growth scans etc (happened in my last 2 pregnacies as fundal height never matched what it 'should' but actually my babies were 7lb 1 at 2 weeks early, and 8lb 3 on time!)

 

[GBLiz]

Oh yeah, i do have a doppler, I bought it at 12 weeks as i was panicking before the scan. If anyone wants to buy it off me let me know as I've been reassured by 2 scans since!

 

[holli]

Awww stargirl sorry your Harry is poorly, I had my Tonsils out 3 years ago best thing I ever did so although he might be sore at first it's well worth it once it's healed, thankyou love our pram Lane keeps pushing it around haha he's too excited bless him, can't wait to find out if your pink or blue... do you have any idea what your having?
We are going to IKEA this morning see if there's anything good on offer might do me good getting out house for a few hours and lanes off today I wasn't even tempting it this weekend with Black Friday mayhem! Xxx

 

[NatG11]

My bumped popped at the end of last week properly I think, although sometimes I think I'm just still bloated. Scan is at 5pm and I've literally just got out of bed so going to have a bath af try and make myself feel normal.

Hi all. Been popping in but not messaging much. I’m not doing too well and I’m surprised at how I’ve responded. I usually see the positives in things, but this has floored me. I can’t stop crying. I feel either numb or scared. My mind keeps jumping from thing to thing and not fully processing anything.

Worst of all, I was hoping to hear today / tomorrow but Royal Mail’s 24 hour return service isn’t actually that at all. It can take 10 days. So the parcel I expected to land at the lab Thursday morning got there this morning. So longer to wait.

I’m barely sleeping and losing weight even though I’m eating. I know we will be ok no matter what but I just feel so sad and scared for my babies. We waited so long for this and had such a battle to et here and now this. The waiting is torture.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer.

Hope you’re all well xx

Awww CJ I've been thinking about you wondering if you had heard anything yet, are you and your oh talking about how you feel about it? It won't do you good to bottle things up, I really hope your ok and can't imagine the worry that's going through your mind, I suppose with it being close to Xmas the delivery service is slower too! I think if your really struggling to maybe speak to your doctor or midwife see what they can offer you in terms of support, we are here for you all too xxx

 

[stargirl]

Cj I bet the wait is awlful. Don't feel bad for how you are feeling. You are going to feel 100s of different emotions and your allowed to. I'm guessing that if you just had the answers you needed you would start to feel better at least then you can plan ahead either way. Holli is right we're all here for support.
Harry got on great today. He's having the works - tonsils, adonoids taken out and grommets put it. He's never really suffered with tonsillitis but because they are so big and hes always been a rubbish sleeper they suspect he's got sleep apnea so are removing them anyway. He's got to have his oxegen levels checked in Jan to find out if he will need to stay in when he has the op or whether he can be a day patient and then he should have the op sometime in February. I told the do for we were due in may so he's put a note on for Harry to be booked in before then.

 

[GBLiz]

I'm frustrated for you CJ.....I would have thought 24hr was 24hr too. It must be beyond horrible not knowing and you musnt apologise for how you're feeling.

 

[NatG11]

Ahhh CJ I'm thinking about you and really hoping you get something through soon! Xx

We still don't know the gender, baby had their legs closed after 3 walks, a litre of water and several trips to the toilet it wouldn't budge the whole time! Got to have a re scan next week, which I don't actually mind cause means we get to see baby again. The count down starts again. Have my 16 week midwife appointment today which I'm looking forward too!
