FX for your scan chocolate - is it for any reason you are having an early scan? Sorry if i have missed it x

Auroara - congrats on the BFP did you sway long?

Wishing the fruit craving is a girl sign....i had one with ds3 but that wasnt till i was heavily pregnant and it was hot!

Cant believe I forgot to say I got my NT screening test results on saturday 1 in 27000 which is FANTASTIC for me - so happy x ds1 was 1 in 67 so much better than him x just need to pass the 20wk scan as ds2 had enlarged ventricles so he was also high risk!! Would be nice to even it out with 2 high risk 2 non high risk babies

Great news on the results Charlie!

My early scan is just because I was in the process of being referred for my 9 day luteal phase defect and also because of PCOS and they offer early scans there so I jumped at the chance after miscarrying at 13 weeks. If the worst has happened then Id want to know asap to get on with the process so am keen for early scans for that reason.

Charlie, that is such great news to hear hunny!

Kell, that is great news about your birthday being my due date...that means there are baby girls born in September!!! FX my baby girl is on her way!

I've been swaying since Oct, but Oct was a no month because hubby had performance issues (he couldn't do it once he knew I was ovulating! LOL) Nov we tried but BFN, and so this is really only our second cycle TTC'ing. I threw some things out the window, like I cut back on jels and we had more than one attempt, but overall I am mostly pleased with my sway. I realize now that after swaying you psycho anyalzye everything, and now i wish I had used some jels or something! But I had very little EWCM (I usually have a ton and was in new moon, etc) so fingers crossed it's a pink bean!!

I just have this looming shadow, you know, that it's probably boy 3, but I'm trying to be positive...did any of you ladies do the Ramzri theroy at your early scans?

[indigoviolet]

love to you all

Great great news about the scan charlie- you must be so relieved.

Aurora- I am the same, getting worried....I don't dare look at early scan pics re: placenta/ramzi, I don't want to loose my dream yet. It is difficult to work out what is left/ right though as it depends if they are 'looking' down or up at uterus if you know what I mean, I get really confused, I guess I'd like someone to explain.

[littlemisswilko]

when i had my scan on wednesday baby was on the left side but i didnt want to ask where placenta was as i didnt dare! still holding on to the slim chance this one might be a girl. i never got a scan photo neither so wouldnt be able to ask anyone where the placenta might be! but i sort of wish i never had the scan as im obsessing over the ramzi theory now when i know i shouldnt! Arggggh. im dreading what my 12 week scan might be like!

[nini]

this thread moves so fast, I cant keep up

Auroara, congratulations, a BFP! Do you remember me from IG? So glad to see you are already pregnant, that was quick, hoping to follow in your shoes soon xx

[Sunset]

Happylea - sounds like a great sway plan!! I did a splime attempt as well as "natural" attempts. I had dh leave a sample and added pure lime and then inserted it slowly with a syringe

Charlieispy - that's amazing!! 1/27000 is crazy I got 1 in 900 with dd which is the lowest I've had. Thank you I think I might have worded it wrong, dd passed all her scans in pregnancy with flying colours and she had 2 doctors examine her in hospital and they were both happy with her she's perfectly healthy

Chocolate - good luck at the scan!

Indigoviolet - I'm sorry to hear you're suffering with MS it really is terrible!

Littlemisswilko - I wish everyone would get their DG and I especially think all you ladies bloody deserve it! I did suffer ms in this pregnancy but I was sick, just had constant nausea all day until about 12-13 weeks when it started to ease off. Fx it's a girly sign for you!

Kell - hope you feel better soon! Seems like a lot of ladies on here are suffering with ms as the moment

Deaks - thank you hun!! I can't wait for your pink bfp! Fx it happens soon, would be a great start to 2012!!

Wishing4pink - how are things at your end? Will you be swaying this spring as planned?

Lavenderlime - when is your next attempt?

Auroara78 - congrats on your bfp!!! Fx for a pink bean!

Hello to everyone else!!

[Babymad]

Lavenderlime, I'd do the same as Kell, make as little a fuss as possible, get him a small gift. My Dh is usually ok at birthdays, always asks me what I would like and gets it, makes more of an effort at xmas with surprise gifts, but birthdays are usually quiet but nice. We did go to Rome for my 30th a few yrs ago, but I had to do all the arranging! For Dh's b'day we used to go to his work and while he wasn't at the van decorate it stupidly, but we only have 1 car now which he uses to get to work to collect the van (isn't allowed van home), so I ain't using the bus to do it....think the boys missed doing it this year!! Do the opposite of what u usually do for him, might make more of an impact?
I used to have a few 'off' days when swaying, it's tough and I can't imagine having to do it over xmas, so a few days of what u like is good for the soul...keeps you going. If I hadn't of cheated a day here and there after OV I would off completely gone off the waggon!

Babymad, how are you? been thinking of you, wondering how you are? Glad u had a lovely time away!

Kell, I go through phases I can and can't be bothered with sex. Still waiting on this increased sex drive you read about....think I missed it!!! lol It's getting a bit more 'difficult' now tho! lol But Dh says he doesn't mind, know he prob does, just being kind about it. He knows that it's not c'os I don't want to, just getting awkward!!! Enjoy ur weekend.

Sunset, hope Serena's 1st night at home went well? and ur both well?

Maybe, I get this 'furry feeling' as I call it lol.... when it seems like a baby is digging down into my cervix, usually when on the laptop/ leaning forward. It's a horrible feeling....can be uncomfy too. Hope baby Dave leaves ur cervix alone!! lol

LWM, still feeling sick?? Might be a 'girly' sign for you if u weren't sick with the boys? I was sick with ds2 and the twins, not ds1, but to have 2 pg's with no MS, now u have it! FX it's a girly sign for u!

Charlie, how are u keeping?

Z, what time is your scan on tues? My mum was coming with me, but Dh might get home earlier, mine's at 2.30pm. Boys keep asking when they can see the babies on the TV!! Bless. Can't wait till 18th to surprise them! think we will take them sledging b4 we go. I will need to watch They got lovely new sledges for xmas....and NO snow!! plenty of wind tho, they could prob go on the sand and get blown up the beach!!! lol

Deaks, how are u? any news?

Hi to everyone else! and any newbies I have missed!

May have found a car! It's thankfully only 40 miles away, so might go up tomorrow and see it. I've always bought from big name garages, but this is a smaller family run garage, so not sure if they will trade in our car, if so what will we get for it etc... We got out current car for £11,000 18mths ago. It's now 3yrs old and the garage we bought it from only want to give us £7,300!!! almost £4k loss in 18mths....NO CHANCE! the only prob with the new car, well MPV!! is it doesn't have tinted windows or Alloy's which are HIGH on dh's list of musts!!! Told him to pack in the cigs and he can add these things. (I wish) It's a 6 seater, which suits us better, alot of the 7 seaters don't have any boot space and the ones that do have high insurance and tax. It's also another Diesel, a Honda and in Black which was more of Dh's tick boxs! lol Basically our car, same engine, but with 6 seats. Downside to MPV's is you have to buy with higher mileage and a bit older to get a bigger car. But hope it lasts just over 3yrs till car loan paid off then we can choose a new car Dh really wants and not need to worry about boot space for a twin buggy! Stresses me out as I'm the 'finances' person in the house, Dh ain't got a clue!! about ANYTHING! Bills etc....he couldn't even guess what we pay. He just gives me his wages into our joint acct minus his cig money and that's his job done in his eyes!!! lol

Have a great weekend ladies! x

I'm feeling better than I was thanks. Not being sick now, still feel sick but I certainly don't miss being sick!! I am still very tired all the time but that's normally because I'm anaemic in pg so some days are really hard work but I'm trying to make the most of the odd days when I do feel half human. I a really struggling with migraines too which isn't very nice and gets me down some day. I really wish I was one of those who enjoyed being pg!! I have ate lots of rubbish over xmas too, snacking on biscuits and cake so I will like a biffa already
On a positive note I have my 20 weeks can on Friday looking forward to seeing bubs as I haven't felt loads of movement yet so I am anxious to know everything is ok. As much as I'm excited I am scared too incase I see any boy bits - I spotted what I thought to be by bits at DS3's scan and obviously it turned out I was right!

How are you feeling now? How big is your bump now? We have an SMax which is a 7 seated and a great car!
Have you bought any oink yet?
