Hi all,

Now I have passed the 12 weeks, I have started telling people which is a relief. I joined this thread soon after I found out about 5/6 weeks. I wouldn't change it because I only told a few close friends and family (who I would want support from if I had a miscarriage) so I couldn't discuss it openly. Whereas joining this thread I get to ask questions find out other peoples experience and get the support and sympathy from all you wonderful ladies. Don't know how I would have managed the first few weeks without it.

Weirdly, I have found out that my best friend from school (who now lives in the states) is due on exactly the same day as me! How weird is that.:eek:

Sami Bee - I have requested to join on Facebook again (now I have passed the 12 week mark) - Karen G.

Fitzio

MSD - so sorry to hear your news.

Glam - I am due about the same time as you, and I don't know if I have felt baby moving. A couple of times I thought I could feel something whilst lying in bed last week, but nothing since so think I must have imagined it. We have a doppler though and the heartbeat is strong, so I am sure there is nothing to worry about.

I really had to restrain myself from buying stuff before the 12 week scan, as I know so many people who have miscarried at around the 12 week mark. I would have thought that the closer you get to 12 weeks, the better the chances, but it doesn't seem to work like that from what I have seen. Around the 11-12 week mark seems to be a risky time.

Congrats to Tickle!!!

No news from Sparkle yet? I think she last posted on Friday so I assume she must have had a baby by now!

He is doing well. He has gained back half the weight he lost, and is devouring expressed breast milk like anything. Midwife is happy with him, he is out of the woods.

I'm not being discharged yet, usually they stop calling at Day Nine. I'm being seen till at least Day 13. Had daily visits and sometimes twice daily visits up till now, but none tomorrow. Pyschiatrist appointment on Monday.

I can't tear myself away from you guys

Oh, I weighed last night, I'm only 6lb heavier than when I got pregnant!

Well done to you and Toby feelie - one gaining, one losing!!:D:D Glad the feeding EBM is going ok. I have to say my DS1 was a lousy latcher -on and if he'd been my first I'd have given up - we persevered and he got the hang after about a month!! But I had done it before, so it was different. You do whatever is best for you and Toby (nice name!)

yeah karen, that's me right now. Don't take this the wrong way all, but it's easier to post 1 message to a bunch of internet strangers if something DOES go wrong than telling the close friends/family and facing them afterwards. which is why I don't mind 'announcing' it in a relatively secure environment on the internet, but not going to tell work, friends, etc. until after 12 wk scan. plus a lot of ladies on here have had MCs, so it's good know that all will understand if it does happen.

Damzel - maybe your OH just has super sperm!

Thank you! But I am lucky and knew my ring size was R before I got pregnant, its now U :eek: so we are going for the smaller, and putting it on a necklace till I deflate

Edit:
This is the one i liked, OH told me off for being to MSE but I like it and didnt like any others I saw.

I like that one!
both my engagement ring and wedding ring were pretty cheap but I just wanted 'that' one I didn't care how much it was worth - after all its the thought that counts :cool:
I'm getting a new engaement/eternity ring for Christmas this year, If I find one I like - it has to come from goldsmiths so we can pay with tesco clubcard deals :money:

DID - my EDD for Chris was given by scan because I didn't have a deff LMP date for them but IMHO it was 18 days out!!
This baby is also measuring a bit 'wrong' but I'm sure of my dates, you mentioned u & OH are tall so that would prob mean they thought u were further on than u actually are if baby is tall too;)

mollythewestie

MS Diva - So sorry for your loss, take care.


My EDD is out by quite a few days as well, I know exactly when I ovulated and did the deed as I was keeping a diary whilst trying to conceive !

Tickle - congratulations on your engagement :beer:

Quick question for you ladies - Cot bumpers: Are they ok to use or are they as "dangerous" as some people say they are?

Sami_Bee

Damzel - not being rude but are you overweight? just I've heard that hormonal types of contra don't work as well as they should if ur overweight...

I can recomend the Mirena IUS for after this one tho

It depends who you ask TBH :rolleyes: I used a bumper in the crib and cotbed with Chris I frankly don't see how they are any diff from a moses basket which has 'solid' sides IYSWIM. best place to look for the official answer is prob FSID website
