Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

TTC40

Wednesday 17th for my scan.

Think my parents could burst before then - they can't wait to share the news.

I'm more subdued about 'annoucing' to the wider world - although I suppose I should be taking my own earlier advice & believe all will be OK.

Another reason is that I don't want being pg/ having a baby being the only thing spoken about - which I think it will be. Whilst I know this is because people will be so happy for us, I get back to the 'what if' thoughts as it will make it harder to deal with.

Blimey, you'd think I was the only person who had felt like this the way I have gone on!

I guess we have to believe all will be ok, at some point. I'm looking forward to announcing it to everyone as only 4 people know at the mo. I found people were lovely last time (we told people straight away last time & with the girls) and they were all wonderful when I lost him/her, it's also brought me closer to a few people.

I've tried to distance myself this time so am really looking forward to being openly proud of my little bump and look at baby things etc. Can't wait for my girls to see the scan and be able to let them feel him/her kick etc. exciting times ahead.:j

Hi Ladies

I hope you are all enjoying your weekends.

I'm so sorry to have posted and ran. Again. I really don't know where my head is in this pregnancy. I don't even have the energy to come on the computer most days. I've not even checked my internet banking - god knows what state that's in! Anyway, I've got a lovely assignment that I need to finish this week, so hopefully will be on here everyday, sickness and DD allowing, so I can try and keep up with you lovelies.

I'm pleased that there have been some good scans this week.

I'm a bit on the fence about early scans and dopplers. I've now had 2 pre-12 weeks scans. One at 6+6 and one at 11+1 - both due to bleeding. And both have been reassuring. But I think I'm a natural worry wart anyway, although I try and be pragmatic about these things. I would love a Doppler and have looked at them on Amazon, but knowing me, I know I would freak out if I couldn't find the HB. I think I will just wait until the MW checks at her appointments.

Soooooooo - after my bleeding dramatics on Tuesday and being shoooed away by A&E, I did get a nice abdominal scan on Wednesday afternoon. My beautiful baby was back flipping like no one's business, with a lovely strong heartbeat. I was 11+1 and the scan dated me at 11+4. Which was nice, as at my early scan it dated me a couple of days behind. The sonographer tried to do the NT measurements but couldn't get a good enough view of the back of the neck. I didn't mind as it meant that I can still keep my official 12 week scan appointment for this Wed at 12+1 .

Phew, essay from me. Am missing my DD. DH took her to inlaws this morning so that I could work on my assignment, and they just phoned me to ask if she can nap there and they will bring her back at tea time! No excuse to not get this work done I suppose.

Hope you are getting more written than me Miffy. I thought I would finish mine today - but as ever, seem to have faffed! Why is this? If I just get the flippin' thing done, it's out of the way. More evenings to be spent on it this week if not done today.

Someone stick a rocket up me!

Good news on the scan though.

Evening all. Glad to hear news of lots of positive scans.
I'm ok, just feeling very nauseous but never actually sick yet. I think eating little and often is helping. I've also stopped with the pregnacare tablets and am just taking folic acid as I've read they can make you feel worse. Any tips or advice on making me feel more human?

Vic3 I read in my first pregnancy that ginger nuts were good....

I have my 2nd early scan tomorrow, I'll be 7+3. It'll be good to see if everything is ok, whilst I appreciate there's still a long way to go. I haven't been bleeding as much recently, but I really don't like these clots. I can cope with general blood, but clots panic me!

If everything is ok tomorrow, we will tell our parents. Not sure how the inlaws are going to take it - already told DH it's his job to tell them. My mil accidentally told me (I don't know if she even realised) that she couldn't understand why we had a second, as what was wrong with the first!! And when I told her DS wanted another sister, she said 'well he just can't have one!' I get on really well with his parents but that was one of the reasons I wasn't sure about having another, although, I know how ridiculous that sounds.

Hope everyone is well, take care xx

Thanks cdtd. I've tried them but they don't really do much for me I should be thanking my lucky stars that I'm not being physically sick yet!

Vic I found that fruit ice lollies really helped the sickness/nausea (rockets or dr whites are my favourites) not forcing yourself to eat things that you don't fancy helped too but I appreciate that doesn't leave many options some days!

The early scan thing is interesting, there's lots of different sides to it and I think you can only do what's right for you and not let people judge you. I know from experience that it doesn't guarantee anything but I also feel much calmer this pregnancy for seeing podge have a wiggle on the screen.

Miffy so glad everything was lovely on your scan :-)

Counting, good luck for tomorrow, fingers crossed for more good news

Ttc40 and miffy, hope your essays are going well :-)

Im incredibly nervous for my scan on Wednesday but I've got a really really busy week so hoping that will be a good distraction

Thanks lemon. I will try the lollies. I'm eating fine, once I'm eating haha. I just really don't fancy sweet stuff. I didn't expect cravings to start so soon. Salt and vinegar crisps lol.
