Yay for having your scan booked Peaches. It seems weird that they have to do an internal to check your cervix. They measure mine each time I have a scan as they have to monitor it closely and they do it fine without having to do an internal. Maybe they will change their minds if they get a good clear shot on the external one.
Sorry to hear your MS is still pretty bad, I hope it gets better soon. I would be careful drinking V when preggy though. I am biased because I think those drinks are poison anyway and would never touch them but don't forget they contain caffeine amongst other things that should be limited at the very least. I believe they have also been known to raise the baby's heart rate really high so I would stay clear if you can.

They have to do it because of my colposcopy and biopsy history to make sure I don't need a suture to hold my cervix closed.
As long as I only have a small can every now and then I don't see a problem with V its the same as having a couple of coffees a day (which I don't drink) being the 5th I'm a bit more relaxed with food etc this time around. I know what's a no no and whats ok. Should know it all off by heart this time lol

Yeh Peaches that's why they look at my cervix too, they just don't have to do an internal to do it.
I think it's more the other ingredients in V rather than just the caffeine that make it high risk but if you're happy to drink it that's your call. I'm just not prepared to take any risks here, for me nothing is worth it.

Fiwi mum - oh no! I hate lurkers that figure out it may be someone they know and take it off forum, it would be fine if they let you know they suspect and kept it a secret with you, but most are not that tactful :(
The private board would be great - I would love it if it was a part of this message board so I didn't have to navigate away to check each board, I wonder if Angie would do that?
Peaches - if drinking V makes you happy, then why not. I have been craving it (haven't had one in over 2 years!) but have restrained myself so far, but I did have souvlaki with salad and a yoghurt sauce - naughty, but amazing!!
So I looked up how to feel for your uterus, and I can feel it - this hard lump like an orange that has moved quite a lot since I first felt it on Saturday - it has moved about 1 inch so far, I am so excited! :)

Wow minty that's great that you can feel that already!! I can't feel mine yet and it was around 13 weeks last time so you must be growing a nice big strong bubba in there!!

I think my uterus has a tendency to lean backwards so that might explain why I don't feel it very early.
It never ceases to amaze me how different all our bodies are! I guess it makes this crazy journey all the more interesting!

Sorry to hear that you are having a bit of bleeding youninin but as your MW has said to you I'm sure everything will be just fine. I know plenty of people who have had bleeding throughout their pregnancies, at times very heavy, and everything has turned out fine! It doesn't make it any easier when you are going through it yourself I know but hopefully the scan will put your mind at ease today and it will ease up soon so that you can relax and enjoy being preggy again

Good luck for your scan today dotty!
I had mine yesterday and everything was looking great. Our little monkey was being so wriggly and wouldn't stop moving - it was so cute! Measurements were bang on for 12 weeks so that was great. Bring on the next one - I love seeing them!
