[KHTW]

Oh it's so cute! I would also leave it as is

Well my symptoms have really eased off last few days. It is nice, but I am having a little wobble about it.

I do have a rather embarrassingly big bump already . I'm not skinny but not overweight usually, and I've lost 2-3Kg with sickness so far, so its definately bump rather than bloat now. I've completely swapped over my wardrobe for my maternity clothes as any pressure on my tummy has not been helping the nausea. Its been a big relief to get the stretchy waistbands out, and I'm proud of being so positive ahead of the scan next week!

I love some of these announcement ideas, well done creative ladies. I'm going to hunt down one of these t-shirts for Jess to wear!

 

[Bunnykins]

I'm almost in maternity trousers already I reckon another week and I'll have to make the swop!!!
Just got my 12 week scan date for 13th April so very excited it's coming up fast now, cant believe in 9 weeks on Sunday. Maybe it's the praying everyday away from the sickness! Next week will be my 4th week signed off work

 

[Bunnykins]

Ps love all the announcements, we told our parents early on but it was very subdued and more of a 'weve got a positive pregnancy test, so if I miscarry like last time I'll need support and if I don't I'll probably get the sickness again so will need your support!' thankfully it was the sickness that kicked in but it's not been celebrated yet at all and both parents will not be happy and worry until the next scan!!!!!

Can't wait to think of a fab way to tell my little boy after the scan, I want to film it and will use his reaction to tell the rest of my family

 

[ChloeSmith]

10 weeks today and just found the heartbeat on my Doppler! Feeling real now xx

 

[petchy]

Oh, wow! That's really early

 

[MrsS143]

I tried my doppler last night too
Pretty sure i found it
Its like microprecision though lol

 

[MrsS143]

Think i have an infection or thrush forming (sorry tmi)
Im honestly getting everything going
Think I'll need to go to GP anyway as I've lost half a stone in just a few weeks. Pre pregnancy it'd be great but its not exactly intentional and i should actually be gaining a little x

 

[kayuki123]

Had mw weds so all official now with my green notes . So now just waiting for my scan date to come through Hope everyone is ok and arnt feeling to sicky xx

I think unless you are actually eating loads more than usual then you don't really gain anything in terms of the pregnancy in first tri So I wouldn't be too worried? I lost a stone in my first tri last pregnancy because I was being sick and couldnt eat and mw and Dr said not to worry as baby gets its nutrients from me regardless what I eat so it's only me who suffers nutritionally, and weightloss wise as I was overweight they said not to be concerned if I lost any. It's mainly dehydration they worry about or if you become underweight and malnutritioned. I think most people lose some weight first tri from morning sickness. I've gone down a dress size in last 2 weeks so know I've lost from not bring able to eat much but I was expecting that because I knew I'd had no appetite. I'm taking vitamins and hopefully in a few weeks when this passes I'll be back to a balanced diet in healthy portion sizes so I'm not worried xx

It's so exciting when you get the letter through with the date, gives you something to count down too hope you don't have to wait too long, mine came through in the post 3 days after my mw sent off the request so it was pretty quick!!

 

[kayuki123]

Ohh I should get it through tommrow yay not feeling to bad today dd let me have a lay in till 8.30 haha xx

 

[Bunnykins]

Wow 8.30 lol that's ace! my hubby has took ds to a lambing day so I'm making the most of getting a rest in! I wanted to go too as it's a fab day out and only once a year but pregnancy and lambs do not mix well at all so been advised to stay away!!

Just seen my signature is now an olive, woo-hoo, feels like a bloody watermelon at the mo tho, I've constantly got stretching pains on my left hand side and can feel everything up that side is tender where it's getting shoved upwards to make room, how much room does an olive need???!!

 

[MrsS143]

Its not just the olive bunnykins
Its the martini its swimming in too lol

 

[flisstebbs]

To anyone immersed in sickness misery, there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel. I'm nearly 12 weeks now and its only short waves now. I even had a little nibble of curry with hubby last night

I also just heard a happy hb on doppler, 148bpm it was reading! I may be totally bonkers but I'm sure I'm starting to feel fluttery movements now too. Got this as 14 weeks with Jess who was ( and is!) a right fidget bottom, so I guess totally possible.

Scan is on Fri just hoping for a nice low risk score, they give you the score there and then after the nuchal measurement.

Happy scan week to everyone else who's up this week. Just think ladies, its going to be our turn to move to tri2 soon, yay!!!

 

[KHTW]

I discoverd today that mango smoothie is a no no for me... just spent 10 min emptying my stomach after drinking half of it?! I am getting closer to 12 weeks, I thought I was a lucky one with no sickness!! Guess not...

 

[MayBMore]

It's my first scan on Fri too! eeek I'm going to have a try with my doppler then if everyone else is hearing heart beats x

 

[MayBMore]

Couldn't hear anything on the doppler yet I have an angel one...it says from 14 weeks on the box and also not sure if I'm doing it in the right place

 

[flisstebbs]

You have to go really low down and aim even lower. It seems weird when you first do it. I'm an expert after paranoid dopplering last time. I have a model up from the angel sounds too, I'm not sure if its better though.
There are some good youtube tutorials on it

 

[MrsS143]

Aim downwards as if under the pubic bone a bit x
