Dear Upduffed of OT

I'm feeling okay so far. The odd small bout of nausea and very tired but nothing else. Mine should be due around the 2nd August and am already convinced it is a girl. Names I like are Sophia, Alexa and Eliza.

Are you thinking of trying CB or have you already started?

Hello! I'm definitely not blooming yet. Lots of ? and I've lost 13lbs. Someone at work told me I look green the other day. Just what I wanted to hear!! Ah well. It's not forever and will be worth it.

My 8wk scan put the due date at the 17th July. 12wk scan on the 6th Jan so hopefully will get a 'proper' date then ?

11th May for my DD, but then as my PP you knew that, right?!

I have my 20 week scan next Thursday.

Flange - saw your scan pic, it's lovely seeing the heart going so early, isn't it?

Hullo!

I am blooming-ish. I no longer feel like death onnastick every single day, only if I over-do it. I lost a lot of weight in the early weeks but am filling out now so am 4lbs up from my pre-pregnancy weight, but down a dress size (in maternity clothes anyway!). My hair is crap and I gave up on my complexion long ago!

Due date is May 10th. Next scan is a week today and we are planning to find out the flavour. I think boy but everyone else says girl. Last week MIL told me she's certain it's a girl because I'm "spreading out all over" ?

It was really bizarre! I was amazed that we could even see anything at this stage. I was 6+5 at the scan but they dated the foetus at 5+6 and the sac at 8+1!

Ooh, my finger nails have gone super strong! They've stopped peeling for the first time in about 5 years.

Panj - no plans here for a while. I'm committed to something next year that I need to give my full attention to so it's just not practical. Hopefully we'll start boffing with intent during the latter part of 2013.

Stripey, I hope you start feeling less grim soon. Can't wait to hear the proper date!

Houds and Orange, I didn't realise you were so close together! Houds, I'm ready and waiting for the big reveal come 11th May! Feel free for your baby, or Orange's, to make an appearance on my wedding anniversary!

Oh my word, I have no idea what this means!! BT is so confusing.

Lovely idea though CB

I wouldn't pay too much attention to dates at this stage. I know loads of women who've had dates fanangled with at early scans (myself included, by almost 3 weeks!) only for them to then be put 'right' at the 12 week scan. My sonographer friend said that depending on where the embryo/foetus is, it can be really hard to get accurate measurements when they're this teeny.

Show us a pic, Panj! Great news on the nails! How's Mr P finding it all?

It's the little white speck within and to the left of the big black blob.

It just means that I thought I was 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant but by measuring the foetus and the sac it's in, they got 5 weeks and 6 days and/or 8 weeks and 1 day. Tis confusing!

As CO said, the dates can be out at this stage. My scan showed baby to be all of 6.4mm at 6+6 so with measurements of that size I can onlu imagine there's room for error. I was put back 3 days at that scan and then forward 4 days at the 12 week scan.

CB - I'm hoping it makes an appearance the day before your anniversary as that's my parents ruby wedding anniversary!

Wow, Panj! I'm so excited for you all ?

This is reassuring! And to think I tried so hard pre-pregnancy to lose weight. It very odd, as I'm able to wear my jeans without a belt now (which I've never been able to do before) but they look really baggy everywhere else.

? wooo that's me birthday and as Eliza is my nickname at work, i will be subconsciously sending you 'pick Eliza' vibes!!!

Just popping on to say fab picture Panj, it must have been reassuring to see that scan xx

Absolutely, I still feel like i can't let myself get too excited though, it's a blimmin roller coaster!

How are you KV? xxx

Oh well you know Panj ?

Congrats again ladies

What a lovely scan pic Panj. The black bit looks like the shape of a heart

Yeah it reminds me of a kidney bean!

Love the scan photo Panj, I remember having one that early with my son. It really makes everything seem real!

Hope you are feeling better soon Oh Stripey One Remember my request for you to have your baby on my wedding day please, 14th July, definitely a realistic possibility right?

Awww at your scan Panjita! I haven't had the privilege of seeing one recently, so it was lovely to see yours!

Happy, healthy pregnancies to you all

That scan pic is amazing, congratulations Panjita.

Everything is good here. Don't come on OT that much so thought I would say hi. Love all the pregnancies going on at the moment ?

I'm 32 weeks now so not long. Here's the latest pic with a bit of 'foot in eye' going on.

?WOW!!! That is amazing!!!

Thanks Panjita. Huge congratulations on your pregnancy xx

Gorgeous scans ladies!

Lovely pic Spring. Was your H surprised with his birthday presents? Have I missed any blog posts?

Another 32 weeker here! Due feb 10th. Getting scarily close! I have a very sticky out bump! We don't know what we are having, I like the surprise!

I'm 15+3, so due 6th June. My sickness has gone now, and am blooming, if blooming is a euphemism for looking like a heifer because the only thing that helped with feeling constantly sick during first tri was eating. I was very lucky compared to some girls though, and only felt constantly sick rather than being sick lots. I'm also having a scan next Tursday to find out the flavour, which I'm very excited about.

Thought I would say hi, everything plodding on slowly here 1st Scan is this Wed so all might start to feel a bit more real then and providing everything/one is happy and healthy we will be telling our parents at christmas.
