Me and my OH's dad were discussing how creepy they were the other week, they make the baby seem like an alien I think

I have the GTT test and midwife next week. 2 appointments in the same week might put me over the edge, lol

Monday for the GTT - Not looking forward to that one bit!

Toniq - I know it must be really hard to accept that everything's going well, but it is . We were due to see a fertility doc a few days after we got our BFP and still went to see him. He told us that anything that was happening before our BFP is all irrelevant now. We're pregnant and have as much chance as anyone in everything going to plan. It doesn't matter how you got here, you're here and your little baby is going to be perfect

Thank u so much twig, i'm crying again i can't help it what u wrote was lovely, xxxxxxx

I think the same about those 3d scans, each to their own and all that just not my cuppa tea xx

Hey ladies I had a new "experience" i think i`ll call it, in the early hours of this morning......lil man had hiccups!! My 3 girls never had them, and they werent hiccupy babies either! Was so strange! We still havent felt any kicks from the outside yet, but the hiccups and kicks could be felt very strongly!
On another note, my cat is having her kittens this evening hoping it wont be long before they make an appearance!
I saw my midwife at 9 weeks, ( booking in) 15 weeks, and wont see her now until 28 weeks. had a scan at 12 weeks, 13 weeks, ( private sexing scan at 17 weeks) and again 2moro
We had a few minutes of the 4d scan at the private one, and i must say, i didnt like it! He looked like an alien

Hello All :j

Toniq - Hope you are ok hun x Dylan has sent you a virtual lick whether you wanted it or not It does get a bit much from time to time but it sound as though your MW etc are being very good to you and those extra appts should help you feel more confident in your pregnancy, bubs is doing just fine x

All - re appts will look up what I have had so far tomorrow, about to switch on birthwise DVD for hubby, had sneaky peak this morning it seems as though it is ideal for us as it is a recording of an antenatal class with extra info from 'experts' :rotfl:

Also got a book to read your baby week by week (for after its born) from amazon and it is very interesting so far only ready up to week 2 though!!!!!! tells you how many nappies is normal etc :eek:

Hi all!!

Phunkles, take no notice of the midwife, some of them just have no tact!

Good luck emmylou with your scan today... i've still got aaaaaaages yet for my 20 week scan, will I ever get there?! I'm still at the bottom of that list!

Anyways, hope eveyone is well

Gops xx

Really nervous about the scan, I`m sure everything will be fine, but cant help worrying! Its not until 3.30 so have all day to think about it
Have a good day ladies! xx

Morning all, hope everyone is doing well.

I FINALLY got the results from my bloods and we have a 1 in 44624 chance of having a baby with downs or spina bifida. I know they always say 'low' risk and there's never no risk but i'm happy with those numbers

A lovely bloke i work with has just brought me in a car seat, iso fix base and a pushchair for nothing! They are fab! I already have car seat, base and a pushchair for us to use new but the car seat and base will be fab for my mum and the pushchair is going to MIL who is looking after the baby 3 days a week when i go back to work (in January 2013 but i like to be prepared )

About appointments i have MW at 6 (just a group session to pick up folder) 8 weeks booking in, should have been 16 weeks but couldn't get appt until 18 then i have another at 25 and after that i'm not too sure. Scan at 12+4 including consultant appointment, scan at 21, scans at 28, 32 and 36 all with consultant appointments after. Love the fact i get to see the bean again

Hi Ladies,

Writing this feeling upset and worried. Just been for my scan, baby still hasn't changed position, was sent away for a coffee and choc bar, but still no change. Baby was happy and kicking away, but not in a good position so that they can see the spine or brain. I am re-booked to see the Consultant for another scan and appointment in 2 weeks time. The sonographer also said that I now have a low lying placenta, it is covering the birth canal. She said I would need to be re-scanned at 32 weeks, I've been booked in on the 22nd December for that scan! If the placenta hasn't moved (and knowing my luck it won't have done!) I will be booked in for a c-section at 36 weeks. Noticed on the confirmation letter that I have to drink 2 pints before this scan! 2 pints at 32 weeks pregnant is going to be fun!! :rotfl:

I was really upset when they told me this, I didn't want a c-section and didn't want to spend a long time in hospital. I know they are safe and women have them every day, I just had visions of my own labour and delivery and wanted to avoid a c-section at all costs.

Don't even know why I feel as sad as I do, feeling like nothing is going right and I just feel sad.

Good luck emmylou - hope you have a good scan and don't have a naughty baby like me!!
