hi everyone.. How is everyone?? Im just soo tired lately.. Great sign my body is at work haha..
Wicklori how did your manager know i wondr you must be glowing?? Haha.. At the present im looking for work i got let go and a couple of days later i found out about bump
things happen for a reason and all that i just hope i get a job soon.. 2 scans in one week you lucky thing exciting stuff
yellow hen i didnt mean to worry you its just my friends nd mum were asking me did i get the flicks was wondering did anyone else have them, i thought i felt them but when i went for the scan baby was so much llower down haha , i thnk 20 weeks is when you feel baby moving more so and dont be reading sad stories your in your 13th week? Thats past the 12 week stage.. Does thhat mean your in the 2nd trimester? And oh my god i sneezed a few times and its like pullinmg a muscle or something haha.. Everyone sounds like their doing great xx 0 -
Oh god annettea, you didnt worry me at all I'm a walking nervebag prior to this 12week scan. Just want to be able to enjoy it now. I really need to stop reading rollercoaster as the amount of missed miscarriages would totally terrify you.
Only two more sleeps to go now until scan.
Just as I'm sitting in bed, I'm looking at a bottle of bio-oil on my locker. I bought it for the scars after I had the laparoscopy (but never used it
) . Is anyone going to try using oils or anything on their tummy over the next two trimesters or is it like trying to stop a flood with teacup? 0 -
hi yellow hen,, exciting stuff tomorrow will drag by so haha we hope not tho.. Time is going pretty fast without realising it
about the cream mum was telling me to bath with baby oil and muisturise tummy everyday.. She has no stretch marks and she had 4 children weighing around the 10lb unfortunatly fr me eek haha xx0 -
Yellow hen, good luck with your scan! And stop reading depressing stuff, it won't help, you will just feel worried.
Told my boss yesterday about the pregnancy, he said he had his suspicions The good thing is he allowed me not to go on business trips anymore! Wahoo, I hate business trips, so happy I won't have them!
About oils/creams - I started to use Mama Bee on my boobs and tummy after shower, supposed to help from stretch marks.
I think many of us are entering their second trimester these days, congrats!0 -
Morning Ladies,
How are we feeling this morning?
I think my MS is coming back, im not sure if im just unwell or its the MS my stomach was doing summersaults last night and literally got through two spoons full of cereal this morning and ive just been sick
Yellowhen, i have stopped reading all the sad stories it would just break your heart, although in saying that i read yesterday that a lady said goodbye to her little angel at 22weeks, she's been in my taughts since, same thing happened a friend and both were related to a UTI in some way. I taught to myself, I get kidney infections regularly enough especially when im run down so im going to stock up on the cranberry and natural yoghurt and stay hydrated and try to be pro active and try prevent them if possible.
I've been using the Palmers stretch mark cream and the bio oil literally from day 1 generally only use the oil at the weekend when i have the time to let it dry in. Ive been using them on the insides of my thighs, my boobs, stomach and back around the love handles. Pennys have the Palmers range think it was 4 or 5 euro a lot cheaper than the bio oil.
I am getting bigger each day and more round, i have no more tops for work that will hide it so i have a cardi on today that will do the job. I refuse to buy bigger work clothes until after the scan! i defo didnt expect to be showing at this stage. anyone else notice they are getting a bump?0 -

hi guys how is everyone today?? Yellow hen i cant wait to hear the news today i never knew to mouisturise boobs and thghs i did it last night tho but body feels so much better from it.. Thank you for the tip
im noticing something appearing so does my OH ha but i was just down yesterday cos i couldnt find anything nice to wear jeans arent as figure hugging,, my OH was concerned cos he knew something was up and i tolld him and he was like awww baby your beautiful and kissed bump made my day haha ..

Im still going around with the buttons on my work trousers open and just covering them with a top, although they don't fit my tummy they do fit my legs and if I go a bigger size they will be swimming around my legs.
My boobs are really sore this morning, woke up about 3ish because they were quite tender and because i was awake i start to feel hungry, so down to the kitchen for some toast it was otherwise i would have never got asleep. Driving over the ramps coming out of my estate this morning was horrible on my boobs, i hope they are not taking another jump I've already gone up a cup size!!
I think leggings is definitely the way forward or dresses with tights, i haven't been able to wear my dresses to work as you would defo notice my bump in them but roll on next week when i dont have to hide it any more 0 -
Am I the only one who is excited about growing boobs? Mine were not very big initially and now at least I got some cleavage, would be happy if they got bigger another 1 or 2 sizes!
Oh girls, just called my brother to tell him the news, told him - you are gonna be an uncle, and he said - you are gonna be an aunt!!!! His wife is also due in March. And my best friend is due in March, too - how amazing is that?0 -
Hey girls, I'm back from hospital. Everything went great! As other people mentioned about the coombe, the scan was a bit rushed abs the screen is beside your head do you're almost breaking your neck to see but regardless we did see our baby with two legs and two arms! Everyone in the coombe was so nice, I noticed there was only two of us today who registered for semi private so I'm hoping that means future appointments will be quick. The queues for public were huge today. We now have an appt to meet consultant, our 22 week scan and put GLucose tolerance test. Overall I am so relieved. Oh and the dates didn't change so we're still looking at the 9 march. Thanks for listening to me panicking over the last week. 0

We went for the nuchal yesterday.... It went great and our chances of the 3 trisomy disorders are basically tiny so in the words of the sonogrpher consultant guy "to put this in context this is the best possible result you could have gotten".... DELIGHTED.
BUT! I don't know.... Expected to be an emotional mess, crying and hugging and everything and I wasn't, and he wasn't, and we weren't.... We were a bit shell shocked or something. Walked out without paying (were called back obviously).... Can anyone relate to this or is it just me?
Now I don't want to make it sound like we aren't excited, delighted and relieved and aware of how lucky we are-we are! But I just thought it would be more momentous or something?
Maybe it's the hormones, but we are paying out good money and everyone in the hospital and the scan place was kinda annoying me.....
And the boobs-don't talk to me!!! Nearly need a new bra every week :-) Husband loves it... Leery looks every morning!!!0 -
oh my god yellow hen delighted for you im glad were all getting great news lately and that our bumps are growing which is perfect and for lilbe our boobs too haha .. I think my OH is delighted for that bit too haha..
I think dresses and leggings and tights shows bumps beautifully,, i thnk jeans are out cos theyre not doing anything great for me anyways haha.
Ah lilbe thats great news about your brother.. I think another baby boom is happening xx
i actually got my first negative comment from someone about the pregnancy and i was like woah thats really disgusting that she can think so negative.. Some people out there.. So now ive stopped talking to her but she has been apologising but still you dont come out with negatve comments..
Anyways yellow hen im delighted for you.. Did you get pictures?? xx0 -

We were like that as well with both our scans! After the initial shock of seeing baby or finding out sex wore off that's when we got emotional! It just needs a little time to sink in

thanks girls, I am totally chuffed
@Elly23, the whole appointment only took 2 hours and that included the midwife questionnaire, general blood pressure, weight & height, bloods taken, urine sample and the dating scan. We're back in two weeks to meet the consultant. Will tell the rest of my family tonight and then friends and work tomorrow...can't wait to just get it out there!
13 weeks tomorrow so I guess I am just about finished my first trimester..yah!!!0 -

Hi elly, we're back with consultant on the 13 September and then I think he'll tell us when we next go to our gp ( we're combined care). Yeah we got two pics but they're not great, it definitely wasn't the warm intimate experience other mums describe. I couldn't fault the coombe otherwise though, incredibly nice staff. They made you feel like you were the only pregnant woman in the hospital. I loved getting all the congratulations!!! 0

Morning Ladies,
I got discharged yesterday afternoon, i had liver and gallbladder scans yesterday morning aswel as the dating scan, was raging they did the dating scan at the same time because my partner wasn't around for it anyway they didn't find anything substantial on the scans, something small in my gallbladder but not stones, but said that's not to say they wont form into stones. I had a horrible 3 days with the pain and not been able to eat or drink without it coming back up. The doctor put me on a drip on Sunday for dehydration i had 4 ltrs of fluid. My doc had wrote up that i was to have a pethidine injection for pain but nurses were so reluctant to give me this they kept giving me panadol, which did nothing for the pain the first two nights the injection only worked for about 2 hrs. then id have the pains back again, i was in agony on Sunday evening and i got the injection finally at half 8 and i slept the whole night tru, with no pain at all. I definitely think it might be food related, because i was fasting from Sunday night until after my scan on Monday and i had no pain, and when i ate i had a small bit nothing major. So i am keeping a food diary from today to see what is and what is not agreeing with me.
I went to my booking in appt yesterday afternoon after been discharged and MW told me it was still showing in my urine that i was dehydrated even tho id had 4ltrs of fluid by IV in the previous 24 hrs. So im trying to get as much water as possible into me know. last thing i want is to end back up in the coombe on a drip for dehydration.
I am feeling much better and i'm back in work today but im under strict orders from the OH, my mother and my MIL that i am not to lift a finger at home. So for the next few weeks until im 100% its bed rest for me after work each evening.
How are all you other ladies doing?0 -
Elly123 hope you will feel much better soon! Glad to hear that they discharged you and that they did not find anything serious. Have lots of rest!
Went to a scan today, the doctor was showing me the baby, and I was like Rachel in Friends - where is he, can't find him! Then realised that the baby was upside down, his bum up
They gave me some brochures and leaflets, and even signed me up to ante natal classes - feels surreal!0 -

Ours was the same, sonographer was pretty vigorous in trying to turn the baby the other way but it refused to budge. I still havent signed up for antenatal classes. I also want to register for pilates or yoga( im leaning towards pilates) but as we're on holidays for the first week of October, I think i might wait until I come home to sign up. Has anyone registered for classes yet?
Elly, good to hear you're home but it sounds like you have had a tortorous weekend. x0 -

I didn't find the Sonographer very friendly at all, while she was doing the dating scan she was pouncing on my stomach with the scanner and we seen baby jump but then when she was trying to get the measurements but baby was curled up so she tried tapping my tummy again it didn't hurt but it wasn't pleasant and she didn't explain until afterwords why she was doing it, i was kind of glad that i had an empty bladder because if she'd have been doing that to me with full bladder i would have wee'd on the bed. i am booked in for the big scan on 12th November, seems ages away but i know it will be here before we know it.
We've told our family close friends and some work colleagues so its definitely starting to feel more real. Plus having the little pic to look at helps aswel 0
