If you think the Bio-Oil is going to do any good, start using it now!
I am 14 weeks pregnant tomorrow, and I already have one large one on the right of my belly, and about 10 small ones on the left. Grrr.
I moisturise daily anyway as I usually have pretty dry skin if left to it's own devices, and I had been using the Palmers stretch mark stuff on and around the bump - but fat lot of good it did me! But as Mink said, if you're prone to them, they're going to happen even if you bathe in nothing but Bio Oil

Had my first scan in the gp's surgery today.
We were both blown away, amazing!
Babes was kicking away, even gave me a little wave
I'm still smiling a few hours later. Can't wait for appt in hospital in a couple of weeks to see the little one again.
We Cldnt believe how clear it was, I cld make out fingers and everything. The machine didn't print out but doc was lovely and encouraged oh to take lots of pics on his phone and was getting different angles for him and everything.
Found my old bottle of bio oil so going to start using it now. A friend recommended some lotion that clarins do and zinc tablets too!0 -

I'm okay.... hoping to go to Limerick tomorrow (while I still have the effects of all the glucose they gave me!) buy a new fridge, buy some maternity clothes and just forget about being sick for a a few hours... thats all I want
My veins just hate me at the best of times: they had to try half way between my hands and elbow this time too and even at that they were having awful bother.
And 9 months :eek: at least it's gauranteed to be over in 9 months for me...
On a plus note I can not get enough of mint crisp bars and salty chips... desperately unhealthy though!!0 -

Java which hospital did you go to? It really is the luck of the draw who you get. Do you think it might be worth it at all to make a complaint and see if you can get rescanned on a different machine?
Went well in Rotunda today. I have to say, all the staff were really lovely, it's just so badly signposted that all us newbies didn't know where we were going or who we were seeing half the time. One of us would figure it out and tell the next girl who came down the hall! Was there 2.5hrs
The scan was unreal. I can't get over how much the baby has grown in 3 weeks!! The prints that came out don't look like much but on screen it was so cool to see. Could see the shape of the face and the little hands and feet. That child is seriously bating the sh1te out of me in there, I'm worried re when they are big enough for me to feel it! I can't believe how active baby is, just jumping all over the gaff. I sort of knew to expect it from what others had said re their 12 wk scan but it was still a shock.
Get to see them again Tuesday for the private NT scan 0 -

Cyning glad you`re out, my nausea has just about eased (13wks3days) so dunno what I`d do if I was like you...I`m also self-employed and my hubby not working so we be well fecked.
Mink on the hair thing, our hair is supposed to not fall out as much when we`re pregnant but also don`t freak out when it gets back to normal count after and you think you`re going bald...:D
We`re all nearly coming up to scan time, we heard the heartbeat going mighty on tues morning - such a relief!
Javagal, that`s annoying I`m fully prepared to go nuts on anyone who treats me badly on this journey, obviously I`m not the first or last woman to be having a baby but it`s MY first and they better get with the programme and be as enthusiastic as me :cool: !!
Ive my scan on jan 25th and ill be just 15 weeks so do you think there`d be any chance of seeing the gender???

Agh no not in your league Cyning just having a moan gets tiring being constantly nauseous. Just can`t eat anything bar cereal or toast or I vomit so I don`t. Was in hosital this week and they thought it was fine and they knew thats all I could eat.
How'd you get on in hosp? Still though that's really tough cereal and toast for any length of time would drive anyone mad! I'm flying it today ate two large bowls of pasta two mint crisp bars and drank a litre of water... amazing 0 -

What sort of baby furniture you get java? I'm not going to have any money to get anything for months at this rate! I know we'll leave it all til I'm like 37 weeks My brother in law is giving us a crib that he has and hopefully picking it up this weekend, it will be nice to have at least one thing like that in the house.
I don't know if anyone else feels like this but sometimes I'm sort of feeling like I'm not pregnant, just getting fat. Even when looking at baby on scan yesterday, felt a bit like she was showing me images of someone elses uterus. I just can't get over the idea that that little swimmer is inside of me. I don't think it will all feel real until I feel kicks.
When they were taking the bloods there was a trainee doing it and took her ages to find a vein, then she let the needle slip out and blood poured down my arm, onto my trousers and shoes and the floor. I think they thought I was going to freak out but I was fine, I didn't want the girl to feel bad, she's only learning. Poor thing must have been sh1tting herself that I was going to scream at her.
Starting to take iron (galfer) every other day now, hopefully that will give me a bit more energy.0
