2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[tallybee]

I worried with my last pregnancy too, as my first I was sick as a dog and boobs hurt like hell but I hardly had symptoms with #2. This time I'm somewhere in between. I suppose it's just different with every pregnancy. You don't have to have classic symptoms to have a healthy pregnancy, I mean you hear of ladies who have no idea they're expecting until labour and stuff?!?

I'll admit I'm chomping at the bit and back to considering paying £99 for a private scan????? lol

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Yeah I gave in and booked one tally. 99 bloody quid, but like I said before I just needed some kind of appointment; I know it sounds daft but because no one knows (besides dh) It's like it's not real and because I have had no acknowledgement yet from my midwife or had an official scan booked I felt like it wasn't "real" ... how silly. I know it's only early and It makes no difference if i see the midwife today or in two weeks (hopefully?!) but first trimester is very surreal.

However my scan isn't for another 11 days! At least I have something to countdown to

I watched this in my last pregnancy and really enjoyed it.. don't know if anyone fancies having a look. There is also a link on the page to watch the multiples version. Handy for some of you ! https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/national-geographic-in-the-womb/

Realised the multiples wasn't working so i found it on utube; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoMQrVBxa_w

Tally ABC4D in edinburgh is offering 50%off all scans with the code on website. Takes a gender scan for example down to £49. Maybe worth looking at for you

Wow, I still can't get over how quickly things move in here!! Thank you all for the congratulations For those who have asked, the babies are in one gestational sac, with only one yolk, so my GP thinks they will share a placenta (MoDi?) They're definitely identical though! Here's the scan:

The yolk is on the left & twins on the right

I had a pretty morning sickness free day yesterday & was oddly worried.. But it's back in full force today!

It's great Eh ! I've heard brilliant things about them, I think their clinic is in corstorphine. Once I'm clearer on dates I'm going to book my gender scan before the offer ends

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

If i could have got on for half price I would have booked it for sooner, but because it's costing me 100 quid i wanted it to show more? does that seem silly :S ? haha.

I could have got cheaper but then driven further, then the petrol cost made it the same. haha.

problem I am having now though, is i can't seem to find an available date for a gender scan, i looked at the available apps online and there is nothing until around may. Based on my lmp I guessed at around the 19th of april and going on the dates i think are right; the 26th. I can't get anything in the system until mid may.... must be a popular scan. Poo. I'm not counting my chickens yet so was going to wait to book it but; oh dear haha. Will possibly have to drive further afield.

I think u should book it !!! haha then post a picture

Congrats again.... although singleton scans confuse me(no chance with twins haha)... so I have to admit I could be looking at the ultrasound of a goldfish and and wouldn't know the difference haha Glad everything is good though x

 

[pink_bow]

Sorry dandi

I have a private scan on Sunday and I can't wait!

 

[GingerPanda]

That twin scan looks amazing! Congrats on identicals! Aaaaaah, I'm so jealous!


There's a lab in Canada that will let you get your blood drawn at 9+ weeks, then mail it to them. They'll check the fetal DNA in your blood and tell you the gender of your baby. It's $150, and I am VERY tempted! If I manage to make it to second tri, I'm going to need something to help me feel attached to this baby, since I wont get a scan.

 

[cdelmar]

So adorable charmed, how exciting!

 

[nmpjcp2015]

I had my appointment yesterday. Everything looks good. They did a scan, but I honestly think it looked like a blob more than anything. Lol.

The took blood, made me do a diabetes test since I have a family history, did a urine STI test, and a bedside scan.

It was really cool to see the LO. We didn't get to hear the heartbeat, but we saw it on the scan. It was around the 160s. I've attached the best photo, and it really doesn't look like much.

Thanks for the support ladies. I hope all is well.

 

[Serenjay]

love the twin scan awww

Girls it must be unbearable for the ones who have not had a scan yet.. I know I have been lucky to see mine grow from a blob to a bigger blob to a mini dancing human over the past few weeks... when I saw baba with a face arms and legs moving yesterday it made it more real to me as for some reason I was still unable to really get it into my head im having a baby.... I wish that you were all lucky enough to get scans when you desperately needed/wanted one.. xx

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Congrats charmed. What a great scan! I was hoping to see 2 in there, but just one little bean!!

I forgot to mention that they said I was 9+2 which is actually accurate because I ovulated later in the cycle and my cycles last only 27 days. The nurse said it's still so close that she wouldn't be changing it in my EDD.

 

[Serenjay]

nmp I think it goes by the machine.. last week it was an old machine and I saw a blob.. yesterday was a brand new high tech machine and I saw babas face arms and legs moving and dancing... beautiful scan though x

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Yay my Doppler has arrived and heard babies heartbeat today .. 160-170, that's normal though right? My last Doppler didn't have the digital display :/

I think if it's more than a week out there change the date, though not 100%

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Thanks Seren. I was wondering about that because none of the photos looked very good to me. They all look pretty much like the one I posted. I have another scan in 6 weeks (at 15 weeks) and one in 10 weeks (at 19 weeks), so hopefully the image quality improves since they won't necessarily be beside scans.

I'm just happy to have seen the little blob.

 

[GingerPanda]

Are you sure you heard the heartbeat and not the veins in your abdomen? You're awfully early! My veins register at about 150-160bpm.
