Congratulations SJ and Kia! How exciting does it feel to reach the 12 wk mark?!! I also had my 12 week scan yesterday and I am amazed at how relieved and happy I've been since! The little bean was very well behaved and lay still to have its nuchal fold measured and then leapt around a bit and looked like it was sucking its thumb - so cute! The nuchal fold showed no problems at all so we have now started telling people as we see them, it really feels like a whole new chapter and it hit me on the way home 'I'm going to have a baby'!!! Yikes! You'd have thought with all the IVF and waiting that I'd be prepared for this but apparently not! I hadn't realised I'd been holding back but I must have been.
Anyway, I'll stop wittering now, very happy to now be officially up the duff!
Oh, and we had our due date moved by a day - its now Christmas day!!

LOL Tams xxxx

Congrats ladies on the good scan results!!!! Another hurdle is over. I got my lab tests yesterday and my Down's risk is 1 in 2500.....normal for my age is 1 in 125 so we were elated. So no amnio for me.....yeah!! The 20 week scan seems so far away to see my little one again. It seems like we are always waiting.
I bought some more fat clothes today. It's depressing and exciting at the same time. Well have a great weekend all and keep the good news coming!

Fifteen weeks and four days

Hen night was amazing. To be honnest didn't mind not drinking cos I didn't feel that well any way. The club was the only hard bit for me cos it was smoky think I speak for all asthmatics when I say I can't wait for the smoking ban next month!!!! Think we have timed out pregnancys well.!

Feeling so much better now - all ready for Zante.

My brother leaves OZ tonight 1am our time and arrives 3am Zante time on Tuesday 41 hours!!! Can't wit to see him. Been so long.

I was 15 when he was born so he will always be like my first baby. Now he is 22 all big, mucley and hairy and living in oz makes you realise how fast it all goes and we must enjoy every second with our children.

IVFMOMOF1 they are not fat clothes they are I am going to have a baby clothes and you will look fabulas in them xxx

Kia Its great telling people isn't it - each time it feels a bit more real!

Tam Christmas day!!! What a present fantastic. One of my friends has his then and every christmas eve the whole world celebrates with him.

Hi sarah it seems like ages to next scan doesn't it!!! Can't wait xxx

How is everyone?

How are all of the December mommies doing? I had my 16 week checkup Monday and everything is great. I've only gained 4 pounds so far but the doctor assured me that was fine. Baby's heartrate was normal, nice and strong.

Anyone start to feel the baby move at all? For the past week I've been getting little "flutters" in my tummy. Especially after I eat. So I think that's probably my little one saying hi! My doctor said by 20 weeks I will probably feel things more consistantly. I can't wait!

Hope everybody is doing/feeling great!

Steph, glad all was well with scan, i haven't gained any weight on the scales YET! but my clothes are starting to get tight around the waist now. i hve my scan on the 4 jul cant wait to see the little one again.

Q - how are you honey, when is your next scan??

Tams - A Christmas Day baby, what a lovely gift that would be, what more could you ask for.

IVFMOM - fantastic news about the scan, i cant wait to go out and buy my fat clothes, i think then i might feel Pregnant!!

hi to everyone else and i hope your all doing fine.

Tams · Post by **Tams** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 4:01 pm

I have been in maternity jeans since 9 weeks!!! All this chat about clothes only just getting tight is quite disconcerting!! My morning sickness (which is actually afternoon and evening sickness) can only be relieved by eating which I think goes a long way to explaining the fast expanding waist! I am fine in the morning and able to eat cereal and fruit, by lunch time I'm getting slightly queasy and needing carbs, by the evening I am a disaster area and can only stomach pasta and salt and vinegar crisps!! I really have tried, I made salmon and risotto the other evening, the fish made me retch, so the rice it was! For all my moaning I actually couldn't care less, I would clearly love to have a slim stomach still but I figure I'll worry about it after the baby's born!

IVF Mom I agree with you, 20 weeks seems far too long to wait to see the baby again. I have a few appointments with my GP so at least I'll hear the heart beat, but 20 wks seems just forever.

Steph, so excited that you can feel the baby already. That's only 3 wks away! Although quite a few of my friends have said they couldn't feel their first ones til after 20 wks. I really hope I feel it early.

I went to a pre-natal pilates class yesterday, everyone else was at least 20 wks with proper bumps, I felt like a fake (a fat fake!). When the teacher started talking about pelvic floor muscle exercise being good for the labour I kept thinking about these poor girls having to go through labour - either it still hasn't sunk in yet that I am also pregnant or I am clearly in denial!!

Glad to hear you're all doing well. One quick question, has anyone else had a spike of morning sickness around 13 weeks, mine had been tailing off but the last couple of days have been shocking again, worse than at 9 wks. I wondered whether it could be anything to do with the growth spurt which is supposed to happen around now??

LOL
Tams xxxx

ps I guess the one day we can be sure the baby won't actually be born is probably xmas day, apparently only 1% of babies are born on their due dates?! Still, it makes for a nice story whenever people ask what the due date is!

Tams I am huge I look six months gone.
The sickness went around 12.5 and 13 weeks but today I was soooooooo tired all I could do is sleep and I am still tired!!
Also I gave in and took two pain killers for the headache.

I had a scan this morning all ok, so I have scans every four weeks now instead of every two weeks.
14 weeks and 4 days

Hi everyone,
I know I haven't been around here in awhile. I am over at ivillage because it's quite busy around there but, I wanted to pop in & let you all know that I had my 15 week us & we are having twin boys. No surprise there, I was sure from the start that they were boys. It's definitely real now. I just went online to the gap & spent a fortune. They have alot of matching outfits in different colors. Now the fun begins. I am so glad to see that all of you are doing so well. Dec. will be here before we know it.

Tams · Post by **Tams** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 11:49 am

Pixiesmom that's sooo exciting!! Congratulations! What made you so sure they were boys? We're not going to find out but I have to say I am very curious!! Instead I'll spend the next 6 months playing the guessing game - no logic at all I know but we thought we'd like the surprise.

Have fun in Gap!!

Miss Piggy fantastic news about your scan, are you that big already? are you a small build? i only have this little lump and that only appears late afternoon ewarly evening! can't wait til i start to show, its so exciting.

Pixiesmom - wow 2 little boys you must be so excited, and shopping for them must be something else, i have been to afraid to buy anything yet but Dh and i are off out hitting the shops tomorrow so god knows what we will come home with!!!

Tams - you never know you could be that one person that will deliver on your due date, a lady i work with finished work the day before her due date as she said "Babies never come on time" and By God she had her little girl that very next day!!! needless to say everyone in work was creased up laughing.

No I am not small I am more telly tubby and I put loads of kilos on over the last 3 years. I looked preggy after the first ivf.
But so far no weight gain with the pregnacy

IVFmomof1 · Post by **IVFmomof1** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 10:25 pm

Hi ladies, I'm glad to hear that a few of you are expanding like me! I have already gained 11 lbs and can only fit in maternity clothes. I know this will be my last pregnancy so I don't mind wearing out the maternity clothes. Lots of little boys are going to be born in Dec!!!! I'm glad the scans the are coming back good.
Reward74 are you out there??? We haven't heard from you in awhile and I hope all is well.
Well I'm starving again......off to stuff my face!
