I'm one very excited and happy girl!
So at this stage (I'll be 10+5 at scan) will I hear a HB? And see much?

TBH It all depends on baby's position at this stage.. Its still quite early and you may not.. You still may tho.. So don't be disappointed..
They'll tell you that anyway when you go in..
You should see the heartbeat though on the monitor.. And you'll make out baby..
My first scan was an early one too as I was having pains and they brought me in for an early one so it was only 7 weeks and we could see baby.. Was a little alien like still but was amazing.. Then the 13 week you could see arms n legs n movements n all...

You'll see but not hear the heartbeat and you'll see your little beanie baby! Once you have your 12 week scan they look much more like babies, the difference from my scan at 11 weeks (a baby shaped bean with cute stumpy little arms and legs) to my scan at 13 weeks (proper little arms waving!) was amazing - they change so much so quickly! xxx

Eek!
My next scan after this one is at 12+4 so will be fascinating to see the difference <3
And you was right girls- toast works! Had a slice with peanut butter and I feel fine
Got a Mexican bean wrap from M&S for lunch and the slice of cheesecake for an afternoon snack

Hey ladies
As some of u are aware I am still in hospital and it's going to be the end the week before the review it.
Anyway, because I've had all this extra time on my hands I decided ( after declining originally ) to have the bounty photographer take pictures as a gift for my hubby. I spoke to her yesterday and he started getting grizzly so she said she would come back later. In that time hubby turned up so I found her and asked her to come this morning before hubby.
I also asked my mother to pick up some props and an outfit change - a Liverpool vest (for a pic for hubby) a soft toy football and big teddy - plus a white stary vest for some more pics.
She has taken some amazing pictures!! I'm going to find it hard to chose! They also have some good deals on the packages. I must have tugged on her heart strings cos when I was saying what i wanted she offered me both of the 'free gifts' and the half price offer which means I will get the key ring and 8 mini prints plus I can buy a large acrylic block with best Liverpool pic in for half price!
The set I'm getting means I will have prints to give out to family - the football pic I love for the acrylic block would also be one I chose to give out to some people... But then I would be 'wasting' a large 10x8 printed pic of the same one...where as I want a diff bigger pic.
Oh I have lots to think about tonight before I order tomorrow lol
Anyway - my ADVICE would be to think about an outfit/toy to take for the pictures as they make a nice gift (or thank you cards!!) and they don't have to be too expensive! U can get a large printed picture for £10 or 2 smaller pictures for £15 - expensive for a piece if paper but she spent an hour taking the pics and will never be able to do it again!! X

Thought it would! Toast was my miracle cure
Take it easy on the spicy and rich stuff though, I found that anything spicy really aggregated me early on. It was very unlike me but all I wanted was plain food: roast dinners, veggie sausage and mash, proper plain traditional food! It's only recently that I've got my taste of spicy back. I found that anything too rich and creamy made me feel bad too, stuff like risotto and yogurt that I normally love was totally out! For saying I wasn't sick that much I had massive food aversions Hope you're continuing to feel better and the rest of the day has passed with no vomming

I seem to be ok with the spicy stuff so far- I absolutely love a curryThought it would! Toast was my miracle cure

I've been off yogurts since I got pregnant and so far my only aversions are coffee, tea, milk, cheese when cooked and wholemeal bread.
I must admit I've been craving chicken, mash, gravy, sausages, home cooked stodge- I've even asked Mum to do her stew and dumplings next time I'm round as I really fancy it!
I feel loads better, no vomming, a bit of nausea but that's to be expected. Been eating well and I have a Twix to end the day with

Stodge! That's the way to describe it. I just wanted food that sticks to your sides, comfort food that fills you up. I'm still a bit like that now, I did a root veg stew the other day and it was spot on! Just what I needed
Glad you're doing well, sickness should be over soon! x

Just did a proper SW day! 15 syns, 2 HEXB, 3 HEXA (my made up green day for pregnancy plan). Very proud of myself, it's been a while!
I also had a meeting with work today and it has been decided that due to my hips and the pain that getting to work and getting around the office is causing, I need to finish work early. So I'm going on mat leave on Friday! I'm still a bit stunned tbh as I was expecting to go in 2.5 weeks but work have been wonderful and really sorted things out for me. I'm a little sad to be going so soon as I do genuinely love my job but I'm also relieved that I'll be able to get my feet up and try to get my hips a bit better. I don't want to end up in so much pain that my birth options are limited and that's the way it was headed, now I can work on getting ready for baby Three days to go!
Hope everyone is well and happy xxx

Hello!
How is everyone today?
I'm shattered, went to work for a few hours this morning to ease myself back into it (doctors orders!) and that's been enough.
Work are being fab tho, told a few more people (they had kinda guessed anyway, seeing as I was off sick so often) and everyone's reaction was "it's a girl!"
Apparently the relentless sickness is a sign of a girl?!
Anyway got the afternoon to chill out and then it's off to SW tonight- I think the only reason I still go is because I'm on the social team and I'd be letting people down if I didn't go. I certainly haven't been following SW at all and probably won't until I'm past 12 weeks and the sickness.
Good thing is, my scales are showing a loss, which is hardly surprising given my little hospital trip!
Which brings me nicely to this...
In 24 hours, I will be on the way to hospital to see my baby for the first time
To say I'm excited is an understatement!!
I'm also a bit nervous too, I suppose that's natural right?
And also for those who've had early scans (as in before the 12 week one) do you get a print out to keep?
Both sets of parents know about the scan and really want to see a pic! X

And also, I've got to have a 'reasonably full bladder' to quote my letter and I'm not allowed to empty my bladder for 90 mins beforehand- how do you manage that?!?!
I have the worlds weakest bladder without being pregnant!
