15 week 5 days scan - babys face with hand up to mouth!

15 week 5 days scan - baby laid on their back with arms up behind their head!!
26/06/07 Had bad sickness this morning, as soon as I walked into the kitchen I was sick! Hubby had to make my breakfast and my lunch for work. I feel so awful! Its horrible, I've only had sickness starting in week 9 so I'm hoping that it won't last too long!! I want to go back to how I was feeling in week 8!!!!
28/06/07 It has now turned into evening sickness as well!
30/06/07 Still being sick, can't wait for it to pass! Got my first appointment with the midwife on Monday, can't wait!
03/07/07 Sickness doesn't seem as bad at the moment, fingers crossed its passing! So long as I don't get hungry I'm fine at the moment. Saw the midwife yesterday and spent an hour filling in forms and listening to information. She said she was going to book my scan for 16 weeks, and won't see the midwife again until September. If I want a scan before I have to pay for it privately! Only 5 1/2 weeks until my scan....
01/08/07 Sickness has got worse again. I can't wait until it passes! Hopefully it will do soon! Tummy is getting bigger :) Got my first scan in a weeks time!
08/08/07 Had my scan today! It was soooo amazing to see baby on the screen! The person doing the scan had to keep poking my belly to wake baby up so that we could see them move! Can't wait until January!!
13/10/07 Morning sickness is well and truely gone now! Am starting to feel really tired though! I keep getting lots of kicks from baby, it's amazing, I love it! (It's taken longer to feel baby move due to having an anterior placenta). Only 15 weeks until baby arrives, I can't wait! Am starting to buy a few baby things now.....
10/11/07 Not long left to go now, only 11 weeks! It's gone really quickly! Getting loads of kicks now. Still got lots more baby things to buy!! Sickness is starting to creep back now, been being sick in the mornings, hope it doesn't last!!
09/01/08 STILL have morning sickness!! Only 16 days left until baby is due to arrive, am excited! I hope baby isn't late!!
16/01/08 9 days to go and still waiting for baby to arrive, hoping baby will decide to show soon!!
22/01/08 3 days to go and still waiting.....!!!
26/01/08 Baby was due yesterday and still no sign of arriving! I'm so fed up of being pregnant and just want baby here now! I'm hoping baby is here soon as I don't want to be induced as was planning on having a home water birth.
30/01/08 Baby is now 5 days overdue and still no sign of labour!! Have a membrane sweep tomorrow morning, so fingers crossed that it works!!
05/02/08 Baby is now 11 days overdue. Seeing the midwife this afternoon and am really hoping she is able to do a membrane sweep this time.
Midwife still couldn't do a sweep today. I am now booked in for an induction on Friday. Still hoping that baby will come on their own before then though!
08/02/08 Was supposed to be being induced today. I phoned the hospital before I went in (like they told me to) and I was told not to go in because they were too busy so I wouldn't be being induced! I'm now 14 days overdue, no idea how long they will keep me waiting now!! They told me to phone them tomorrow morning to see if they can fit me in then, but they said they couldn't guarentee anything. GREAT!! Feels like I will be pregnant forever!!

BIRTH STORY
I had to be induced as baby was 2 weeks late! I went into hospital on 9th Feb. After 2 pessaries they still hadn't managed to induce me, so was supposed to go up to the labour ward at midnight to be given a stronger pessary, but they were busy so didn't end up getting me for it. I started having contractions and they were getting painful so I had a bath to try and ease the pain. I went to try and go back to sleep but ended up pacing up and down as I couldn't sleep through the contractions. My waters broke on their own at 430am Sunday morning. I stayed down on the ward for as long as I could, but the contractions started getting even more painful so I went up onto the labour ward so I could have gas and air. I was contracting for 8 hours and was still only 4cm dilated, so they put me on a syntocinon drip, which made the contractions more painful. I still was dilating so they had to up the dosage of the drip 3 times until I did start to dilate. The contractions got really painful so I had to have pethidine at this stage. I was in labour for 16 1/2 hours. At 854pm on Sunday evening I gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl, Erica, weighing 7lb 2oz (3230g), 52 cm long. After I had been stitched up and we were both cleaned up, we went back down onto the ward for the night, and we were allowed home the following evening. 
My precious little lady.
Is your little fish doing better?
I'm glad she is having fun swimming. Does she get mad when you have to get out of the water? Riley is starting to really get an attitude when i take him out of the bath and wont stop "yelling" at me until i feed him.
