December Snowflakes 2012 158 Snowflakes - 36 born so far! - Page 4

With DS we had an early scan, dating scan, gender scan, anomaly scan, 4d scan and then I was given lots of growth scans lol. This time if I can convince DF then I want an early scan around 7wks, a gender scan as well but I'll probably leave the 4d one this time.

I was due 10th december and was CONVINCED I would go 2wks over so had prepared myself to be giving birth on xmas day, little did I know I would go into labour on my due date. It's fine having a december baby but it would be better to have a may/june baby because then gifts are spread out and you can get all the things you want/need for them throughout the year. Xmas day was a blur of tiredness, expressing and dirty nappies

I used x factor as my countdown to my due date lol, I was back home from hospital in time to watch the live final.

WOW that's a lot of scans!! I am so eager to get an early scan but can't convince OH that it's neccesary

my cycles were so wacky though that I think I *could* possibly get one on the NHS just by saying I don't know when my EDD is, but I do really from charting and OPK'ing and I feel a bit of a fraud!!

I would have liked a summer baby, but I can't help but feel sad that it would have been one of the youngest in it's year at school. Plus sending them off to school at 3

it'd break my heart!! LOL! xx

I did have a lot of scans lol. I dunno if I will be able to convince DF or not. Quite often if they give you an early scan on the NHS they wont give you a 12wk scan because there's no need for it. A place quite local to us is £50 for an early scan and I went there last time. Really helped put my mind at rest that everything was ok and that ther was definately on 1 baby in there lol.

I suffered from HORRENDOUS morning sickness with DS from 5-20wks. I was so so ill. I have everything crossed I don't end up like that this time. Dunno how I'd cope with a toddler and MS!

ducky1502 · Mar 25th, 2012, 16:54 PM

If I do decide to go for an early scan I can't decide when to go. We are both only free on a tuesday so I would either be (by my rough estimates) 6+5 or 7+5. Went for one at 7wks with DS.

ttc_lolly · Mar 25th, 2012, 16:55 PM

I know, FX'd you don't get it again. I never got MS before and had nothing so far, so I'm hoping it stays that way too.

Hmmmm I'd like to see bubs early, maybe I will book a sneaky early reassurance scan anyway

Did you see much at 7+5? With DD we went for our 12 week scan but they put us back a week and a few days so we were only 10+5 but it was still really good.

ducky1502 · Mar 25th, 2012, 17:04 PM

I was 7wks exactly at my scan and I saw a bean with a heartbeat lol. No arms or legs or anything. Some people say you should wait until 8/9wks if you want to see more of a baby shape. But for me it's about checking there is a definately a baby with a heartbeat and it's definately only 1 lol.
