Do what works best for you and your OH and forget what anyone else has to say, friendly advice or not!
Thanks Rach - I think it's something I need to get used to. I bet there'll be lots of friendly "advice" coming my way over the next 6 months! People have babies in terrible situations and do a really good job. If all we have going against us is a few steps then I think we're doing ok

God, we've a few steps going up to our house...I wonder what your friend would say about that!
Just joining this thread. I'm 11 + 1 weeks today...it's killing me now just waiting to tell everyone. I'm actually feeling sicker than I did a few weeks ago as well.0 -

Congratulations and welcome! If it makes you feel better I've been a pukemonster and my sickness has just lifted - I had a sudden afternoon of feeling better at 11 weeks 5 days (which was last Saturday) and since then I'm so much better. I wasn't expecting to stop puking until about 13/14 weeks so I'm only thrilled. Hopefully your's will lift soon too 0 -

Oh no! I know how you feel. It's just the most miserable feeling in the world. I used to be crying to often saying I couldn't take it anymore and my poor hubby just didn't know what to do. He said that was worse than the puking because he felt so helpless seeing me so upset. I really hope you feel better soon. I'm not going to go into all the things that work for women with morning sickness because I know for me not a thing worked except time passing (I'm still nervous waiting for the sickness to come back). Just look after yourself!I have a really bad tooth infection and been put on anti biotics!the pain is awful and soo tired! have read awful things bout infections causing miscarriages so booked in for private scan on thursday! could not last waiting until my hospital appointment as quiet apprehensive esp now im on tablets! i cannot wait till I am past twelve weeks ( 2 more weeks) and i can enjoy the pregnancy and relax more! prob the first child is most nervewrecking too cause all soo new!
You're dead right to get a private scan - anything that stops you from worrying is a good thing. I got one at 9ish weeks and it was great. I have my 12 week appointment today and I'm really really nervous, because the sickness has lifted so much in the last few days what if that means something has gone wrong? It's so hard to stop worrying. Let us know how your scan goes anyway and I hope you feel better soon, tooth infections are rotten at the best of times.0 -

Murdy - Good luck with your scan today, hope everything is going well. I was beginning to feel better around the time of the 12 week scan too..
Lynda and Sunshiner, get well soon hope the infections clear up...
Couchkitten - I remember it got worse before it got better for me, at about 11 weeks I was puking my way around town and then improved in the next few days. Keep hanging in there
Just the reflux bothering me and the constant bunged up nose, have noticed particularly in the morning there is blood when I blow my nose but from reading online I think that's normal.0 -

Appointment was great Really pleased with the staff in Holles Street. The midwife spent a good bit of time with us and answered loads of questions. I got bloods taken and a medical history (and had to make my wees in a cup) and then got to hear the heartbeat and she gave us a sneaky mini scan on the machine in the room to be nice. We could hear the heartbeat loud and strong and in the scan the baby looked like a real person instead of a blob - we could see the outline of the face with nose and a little arm waving in the air! The midwife was really good about my having been so sick, she asked me loads of questions of how much weight I've lost and was reassured that the sickness had eased up - made me feel a bit better that there was some attention given to it and if I had still been sick it would have been monitored.
Only thing is she also thinks I'm not as far along as I think going from the date of my last period. My dates have me at 12 + 2 but she said that I'm more likely 11 and a bit. The early scan I had (I brought the report with me to the hosp which I'd recommend) supported this. I don't mind too much, now that my sickness isn't as bad I'm not as worried about it but I'll still probably think of myself as 12 weeks just to keep myself sane! So all is well with me and baby and we can tell everyone now
Next appointment is with my GP so not back in the hosp with the consultant until after my anomaly scan at the beginning of Feb. Suits me fine!
Hope everyone else is well - I'm in good form today now that everyone knows our news and I know all is well with bubs0 -

Awh that's great murdywurdy they sound really good in Holles Street, It's such a great feeling to hear the heartbeat and i was like you, nervous cause my symptoms had eased up i was convinced something was wrong so it really puts your mind at ease hearing a good strong heartbeat!
I was exactly the same when I had my dating scan i had myself at 10 weeks 4 days and she put me back to 10+1, I know it's only a few days but it makes such a difference i used to love the weekend cause i would get to go into a new week on the Monday so now i have to wait till the Thursday, so im 13 weeks tomorrow :-)
It's mad how our brains work but i kind of still go by my own dates like you say it keeps me sane!
It's terrible but im kind of wishing Christmas to be over as that's when all my appointments start, I have my big scan on the 30th of January and I know im going to be a bag if nerves over that!
Hope everyone else is doing good :-)0 -

I'm totally shattered since last wknd. Glad I can tell people why. I feel like a couch potato but I've a really long commute so come the weekend I dont feel up for much!! Meeting friends for an early meal tonight, hopefully can stay awake
Decided to go private for a few reasons so meeting consultant for first time this Friday. Hoping for another scan!!! Twins were not v co operative last wk so be nice to get another peek at them.
Been telling people at work this week, lovely reactions. It's nice not having to hide it anymore.0 -

Isn't it? It's so nice to be able to tell people, babies are just such joyous things Hopefully you do get a scan at your appointment so you can have another look at the twins, just to prove there is two in there!!
I'm dying for christmas too. In a way getting pregnant in September is good timing because you have the reward of time off at Christmas for getting through your first trimester!
Glad I'm not the only one with weird dreams - it must be a pregnancy thing (like everything else going on with me).0 -

My morning sickness is back Serves me right for being so pleased with myself that it had almost gone away. I'm back to puking everything, including fluids up and generally feeling like ****. It was the weirdest thing, one day I felt better and was normal for a few days another day I wake up and I'm constantly nauseous and vomiting again. Trying my best to pretend it's not happening!
Hope everyone else is well and sickness is on the wane all round 0 -
