hi nikola sorry i did not post yesterday, but had to go from scan to airport as my younest are gone home to their dad for midterm break. we seen one little black blob with a tiny grain of white rice inside, no heartbeat yet, i think their equiptment is not up to it , but we are going back next friday for that scan. we are so happy, that scan has the world of difference to us, john keeps saying we are pregnant, we are pregnant, bless him, i wonder where he's been for the last few weeks??? the pains i have are down to my ovaries, they are massive still, so plenty more water for me!!!! at the moment we call the baby bob [Baby On Board} rather than it. how did your scan go ?? how's your sickness has it eased any? i read vit b6 is very good, as is yoghurt and a high carb diet, and protein going to bed. have you tried the arm-bands? i keep eating loads of fruit but getting it hard to eat a full meal, have only got nausea still maybe, God is only going to give this rather than full blown sickness!!!! anyhow, nikola i have loads to do and have to go. speak soon love jackie xxx 6wks4days-----{i love doing that} p.s due date is 16/06/2004 what's yours?

Hi Jackie At least your scan shows you are not having THREE! Just the one like you wanted. Its funny how some hospitals can detect a heartbeat at six weeks and others can't, it must be something to do with more sophisticated machinery.....v.technical. This next week won't be long to wait, its much easier to relax once you've seen the first scan. I had mine on Friday and it was fab. We saw two babies!!! Eek. Two heads and lots of little legs. One was moving around and wouldn't keep still to have its photo and be measured. Bless. Its amazing how quickly they grow in these first few weeks. My next one is not until 12 weeks, but I feel a lot more relaxed and happy about everything, which is good. I'm still feeling terribly sick, but I just live with it. Its definitely worse in the morning and gradually by the evening I feel almost normal! I tried the wrist bands but they just seemed to stop my circulation!! If I have a meeting to go to on a morning, I put them on, just so I think they might help! I have yoghurt every morning and I love potato, so that is basically my diet at the moment. I also like a bowl of cereal before I go to bed! My ovaries were less enlarged on this latest scan and the cysts had reduced which is a sign that the morning sickness might get better - lets hope so. My due date is 4th June but the consultant has said they don't like patients with twins to go beyond 37 weeks, which would mean I'll have them some time in May! How exciting!!! Better go and have a nap! Talk to you soon love nikola.xx 8wks 3 day (me too!)
