Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

samtoby

Well I am so glad things are good for you and your family. I have had to have internals in the past not the most pleasant but hey to see the baby makes up for it!

She said I could either wait 2 weeks and come back with a full bladder..(honestly no one would think I already have 2 children!) or have an internal scan...No choice in my book! I wouldn't have slept for 2 weeks. She did say a lot of people turn the internal scan down. As you say not the most pleasant of experiences but I got the end result

Thanks - I know it's not a tragic sign, but it's not a cheerful one, if that makes sense! My mother had the same thing, and the result (me) is now 35. It's not a lot of bleeding, and very dark red, so I'm not panicked, but not overjoyed, obviously, either.

My senior clerk got it adjourned, fortunately, and it's for a solicitor I do 40% of my work for, so they know that I never, ever don't turn up at court.

Turning up at court, on time, and reliably, is seen as super-important. I think it wouldn't have made any difference if I had or hadn't gone - I'd have felt worried all the time, and wouldn't have been at my best in dealing with a very tangled and complicated legal argument.

Courts are very reluctant indeed to adjourn, and rarely like it if counsel claims illness, but in this case, they've just had to live with it. My clerk's fax said I was not in a state where I was fit to attend and assist the court, that the case was not returnable as was too complicated, so if they didn't adjourn I'd have to turn up and wouldn't be able to be much use anyway. It worked.

My scan is tomorrow, and OH is coming with me, so fingers crossed.

Neverdespairgirl I didnt realise you were a barrister! Alot of my graduate friends are doing their bptcs now. Its quite sad watching them as I know I'll never be a solicitor now due to this pregnancy, you're lucky that your career is sorted before you have your baby.


I'm actually dreading tommorow and having done the sums there's no way I'm going to manage on maternity pay. Looking like I'm going to have to go back to work once my two weeks are up. And to top it all off I've put on a whopping two pounds!!! What a crappy day!

Great news about your scan sophiasmum, must be a relief to have your edd! X

Yay Sophiasmum for a good scan

Neverdespairgirl - glad you managed to get case adjourned and wishing you all the best for your scan tomorrow. I work in professional services and I understand that its difficult to feel like you are letting people down but there is nothing wrong with putting you and your family first for a change. It's easy for me to say that now but I may need reminding of it in a month or so! I'm getting a little worried by all the client meetings that I have scheduled for late Nov/December. Some of them involve significant travel Could be a problem if the morning sickness gets me bad!

Samtoby - good luck for your scan X

Put a pumpkin out tonight and have had SOO many kids trick or treating. Must have had about 60....! :eek: so many cute little ones and we soon ran out of sweets!

Right, shattered so hubby has agreed to come to bed and watch scary films with me! we are off work tomorrow so can stay up late!

I've just got up again, having worked out that even my extremely patient OH might get tired of me wriggling and kicking him, so I'm come upstairs to make a nice cup of camomile tea before trying to sleep again.

I'm feeling very sick, and for the first time, quite chuffed about it!

Learn from my experience and make sure you drink loads of water an hour and a half before going in to give it time to get to your bladder! x
