I feel great, comparatively! I always compare it to pg #1 where I felt rotten so I remember how lucky I am to feel so decent this time

In general the last week has been pretty great; today I felt a bit off but we were at the pool with friends and I was dehydrated, so coming home to lay in the air conditioning and drink some ginger ale has really helped.

I had a scan at my 8 week appt and will have another in about 3 weeks when I'm 12 weeks! I can't wait to see the bean again! You'll have to pop in on Sunday and tell us how it goes; FX you can see a nice strong heartbeat already!

Elp- I swear I felt little things since yesterday but I think it's wishfull thinking lol how far along are you now? You need a ticker lol Does Dh know yet?

B- we've always gone straight from the u/s to the store to buy the coming home from the hospital outfit. Shopping after the news does help you heal lol

Hey girls ! sorry i have been MIA- have had the worst chesty cough/cold etc for weeks now I have finally given in and got some antibiotics as i just wasn't getting better

3PNB- What a gorgeous piccie!!...ah seems so real at that 12 week scan doesn't it??...I think it is the point i really believe I will be having a baby! Prior to that I just kind of cruise along

I will be intrested to see if you end up finding out! that is not too far away!

Begonia- Seems like all our hubbies are the same, mine did a few swaying bits but only for me...he really couldn't care less if he has another girl, it's me that wants a boy but i guess thats a good thing at least there will only be one of us disapointed if it is a girl

Elp- strange about the HPTs., that would have FREAKED me out! glad i didn't do it before knowing this info I so would have panicked tooo- did you just jump straight on the computor and google it ? I bet your heart was racing sooo hard!

AFM- Had my first apointment- saw atiny bean with a flickering heart beat! So relieved to see it...still doesn't seem real yet but will be booking in my 12 week scan in a few weeks so mabye then

I'm currently 8 +3 Jen!! Its Monday the 8th here for time track difference lol. I told DH pretty early with this one, only as he directly asked grr

, he kind of mumbled it ti the kids a couple of weeks ago but I'm sure they took no notice of him as yesterday after the appointment they were kind of surprised it was a midwife app we'd been to!! I've not told anyone else yet and don't intend to til after a scan, apart from my lil brother who had to be told as I had to run to the toilet to puke when he popped round for a cuppa one day lol, it was kind of obviuos what was up

tbh though, I think it was his aftershave that did it? don't get me wrong its expensive stuff but the floral/chemical smell was overwhelming!!! I haven't felt the need to puke like that since, poor bro

Cheeky, fantastic appointment! Isn't it brilliant to see a heartbeat

Which side was baby on did you ask??? All mt cramps are on the left which would mean pink for me lol!!

The hpt thing was gutting

I just thought ffs! Here we go again! Then straight onto the trusty gooly lol, it took a while to hunt down some positive answers though! I should write a thread in the pregnancy section so we have the info here for anyone else silly enough to still be playing with hpt's in wekes 7-8

Right, my appointment!!!

It was great! No scan but just to hold pregnancy notes in your hands makes things feel ok doesn't it

I had to bring the 4 youngest girls (1,2,4,7) so that was slightly distracting but my old/new midwife hadn't met the youngest 3 so it was nice to introduce them, she was also the midwife for my sisters 5 babies so she's kind of a friend of the family

She's put me down as yesterday being 9 weeks from lmp dates, which on one hand is good as I get my scan earlier but on the other hand is bad as the nub will be younger won't it and may be misleading!!! What to do?? I think I will check the scan date against my dates and maybe say I can't make it and move it a little later?? That will be hard, turning down a scan lol!!

So now my local midwife (midwife services is a mess around here!) will do my normal measure check ups and I will see my original midwife for bigger appointments! So a good visit for me all in all!!!!

Had my 12wk scan this morning, saw the face, little hands & legs & baby moved hand while i was having scan. I cant believe it's a real baby now! The placenta was interior but she didnt say left or right & i didnt bother pushing for an answer. The scan all made it real that i'm having a baby now, exciting & sweet. Dont know what the heartbeat rate is yet.

ELP, i couldnt take my little one into the scan room this morning because they arent allowed in but i did take her to my midwife appoint.

B, what side was your lilttle bean on?

3PNB, cute scan pic. Love that you got a a wave, cute

**ELP** · August 8th, 2011, 09:44 AM

babyD!!!!!!! Piccies, post some piccies!!!!!!!!!! Did you keep an eye out for any nub clues??

**3Pink1Blue** · August 8th, 2011, 11:36 AM

elp - did dh tell the whole world like you thought he would? Woohoo for good appts!! He he he poor bro, it's amazing what smells suddenly kill you lol

baby- awe so exciting when they are wiggly! I'm with elp pics!!

I'm going to say it ladies, screw ramzi's theory! If I have it right it was based on the placenta's position at 6wks not 10/12 like many of us have seen. The placenta moves as the uterus grows, in a week mine went from the left to much more posterior.

Well it's official I'm definitely feeling little kicks! It's really helping me relax, each day it reminds my all is ok. Anything yet for anyone else?
