My gender scan is the 17 June and I am getting VERY impatient

 

[Mimzy3]

Some of you ladies might remember I had a hyperactive thyroid and the midwives were going to check it again to see if it got better after first tri. Well it got worse I have to see a specialist now and I pray I don't have to take any medication. I really don't want to be on any while pregnant.

 

[Twag]

Mimzy I hope the specalist can put your mind at ease

I'm going to be an auntie again ! Me and my sister are due 8 weeks apart this time. We had our first children one day apart. So excited for our cousins who can grow up together again. So glad the doctors were wrong about the pregnancy not being viable. X

if you need them, it will be better to be on them than not, I only learnt 2 weeks ago mine was underactive and was prescribed meds for it, they are perfectly safe and I feel the benefits for baby make it worth it! it may not even be for the entire length of pregnancy as baby thyroid starts to function at 20 weeks so they do not need the hormones from us then

I would guess it would possibly be better for your health if you needed tablets for it as well.

hope it all works out ok

Mrs Bump so pleased they were wrong and your sister pregnancy is ok

Mrs. Bump-same thing happened to my friend and she has a healthy 3 month old now! So happy for your sister!!And awesome you guys are due so close!

cONGRATS!!! It's the opposite for us haha. All my husband's side is all boys so we are hoping to bring in the first girl!!!

How are you guys finding out early? The blood test? I don't think my OB does it...makes me sad because I have to wait FOREVER for the gender ultrasound!! lol

Yeah, we had the Panorama test done. I'm no spring chicken, and while I'm not yet at the age threshold for it to be considered medically necessary, I really wanted the reassurance of knowing that the baby was "okay" ... and finding out the gender was an added bonus!

I cannot seem to keep up or find the time to keep up with everyone, I suppose this makes me a horrible bump buddie.
I have my 12 week appointment tomorrow and the nurse called to tell me they don't have any of the Harmony testing kits so they will be using Panorama. Have any of you used this test before?

dill has had hers hun and your not wer still early days so finding something to talk about all the time is hard so dw

 

[littlesteph]

got my consultant appointment through this morning. feel a little worried about it, In my last pregnancies they were at a midwife lead unit, this time its at the hospital, could be because we live in a different area now, I am worried they are going to say something is wrong with baby as it was measuring small at the scan. on the plus side ive finally stopped losing weight and finally started gaining, still 7lbs down from pre-pregnancy weight though.

 

[littlesteph]

mrs_bump so glad your sister's pregnancy is ok.
me and my sister in law were due the same day with our firsts, ended u being born almost a month apart though.

Whoops wouldn't let me upload two pics!

Hi all

Congrats to all on their scans already! Somebeautiful pics there!

II'm very jealous, a lot of you ladies are talking about their gender scans and I haven't even had my dating scan yet! Oh well, only 6 more days to go.

I was signed off work last week due to how bad my "morning" sickness was. Feeling a bit better on that side of things but I'm not sure how I'm going to get through the day without an hours kip around lunch time when I go back tomorrow!

 

[Mimzy3]

Thank you for the kind words ladies

Celtic that is good to know that I won't have to be on it the whole pregnancy hopefully. I had more test done today and they said I'm stable but will need to start some medication. I have an appointment with the specialist next week to discuss.

Haha, read one post above yours -- I did! I think Panorama actually has higher accuracy ratings than the harmony. You can find all their details on their website - Panorama.

How long did it take you to get the results Dill? And did you find out the gender too?

I got the results in 9 days, though I believe my clinic actually received them in 8. Receiving the gender results was optional, but we opted to do so (and it's a boy )!
