Any 35+ based in Essex / London UK?

[Claireyb1]

ooh that's 3 of us with scans on 11th!! Mine is at 2.30pm - couldn't get an early one so will have to work from home that day. I am not 100% sure about finding out about the sex as would like the suprise too but dh is DESPERATE to know and I am not against it enough to stop him so I think we will.... We must all report back with news!!!
Mother Hen are you panning on finding out the sex?

Claire- I am planning on coming back to work 6-9 months after birth I think.... would love not to have to but needs must.... Also would love another but was amazed I got pg this time around with all my medical things so am really happy with 1 but another would be an added bonus. I guess I will see how it goes.... what about yuo? Any more planned?

Hello Bunska! I am not ageist btw just posted ion 35+ section!! How are you getting on? Is this your first?

Oh yes Tanya, I will most def have to report back after my scan!!!
I would ideally like at least one more after this, but if it ends up being just the one then I will be very thankful for that!
Only trouble is at this age you need to pretty much do it straight away - eek!

Hello London and essex Ladies! I'm based in Brixton! 38 and expecting my first. Scan on the 9th - can't wait!

 

[Mother Hen]

Hi BiddyLee. A lot of us have scans coming up. Good luck on yours!

 

[Mrs B mum2b]

hi BiddyLee! Good luck on 9th - it's an amazing experience. Have you been feeling ok so far??

only 8 days to go til my next scan - v excited and a little apprehensive too - anyone else feeling like that?

 

[Mother Hen]

I totally feel that way. I'm more excited than scared, but there are some worries making their way into my head too.

hello, I am 35 and based in Bexleyheath. I'm currently 19+5 with my first and have my 20 week scan on 12 August! Am very tired, hormonal, moody and tearful, but luckily had no sickness whatsoever...my OH seems to think there is no difference in my moods and that I was moody anyway, and he also says its my "tone of voice"....oh well, he'd better get used to it!

 

[Mother Hen]

LOL! My husband says I was always moody too. Smart ass!

I am not far from you. I live about a mile from the Mall in Bexleyheath. We just moved here a year ago, but I like it so far.

Good luck! You're farther along than I am. I am jealous.

We live at the other end of the Broadway to the Mall, close to the old Drayman pub. I've lived in Bexleyheath and the surrounding area all my life.

Where are you having your LO? I'm at Darent Valley hospital. I know a few people who have had babies there so I'm hoping it'll be a positive experience! I'm trying not to think that far in advance though as it just scares the life out of me! Just trying to enjoy the pregnancy so far!

 

[Mrs B mum2b]

Hi Lou - I am 1 day ahead of you both in weeks pg and scans! I'm 19+6 and scan on 11th.... I only had a bit of MS but nothing too bad thankfully. Have the odd emotional day but nothing unusual about that! Are yuo going to ry and find out the sex?

 

[Mother Hen]

I'm going with Darent Valley too. I don't know much about the hospitals around here, so I didn't know which one to choose. My first midwife appointment is August 18 and my first scan is August 12 (private scan).

Good luck!

 

[Biddylee]

Hello all!! Had my scan on Tuesday - little bean was all healthy - asleep to begin with and then after a little bit of prodding moving around. My OH said the baby looked like it was smoking then climbing so s/he takes after her/his father then!

Good luck to everyone having a scan tomorrow!

 

[Mother Hen]

Great news, Biddy!

I had my scan today. I thought I was 8+4 and that is exactly what the baby measured. Everything is in the right place. Looks good. I saw and heard the heartbeat. I'm so relieved.

Here is my little cashew nut

Lovely pic! I'll have to put my up online sometime.

Am still tired a lot at the mo and wanting to eat everything.

Something else I forgot to mention is I'm a week further along - so 13 weeks and 4 days. I had though I ovulated early - during that month I thought we missed the boat as had sex on nights before beginning of ovulation. Then I was in a funny mood for the next few days and not at all up for sex so was sulking that there wasn't any chance of pregnancy that month.

And low and behold, the BFP appears! Looking forward to hear how everyone else gets along!

Hi all - just a quickie as got to work soooo late! Congrats to Biddeelee and Mother Hen!! Very exciting.....

I just had my 21 weeks scan:
Beanie was being very uncooperative and lying face down. No matter how much prodding, pushing, walking around etc, wouldn't move!! They measured head, spine, legs, brain etc and said all perfectly normal but couldn't get to the heart (although could see it beating!). Then when I asked the sex.... she said "it's a girl-ish"!!!!!! I said does that mean you just can't see a willie and she laughed and said basically yes! She said not to buy anything pink yet but she thinks it's a girl - Of course would love either flavour but am delighted we're (possibly) team pink!

[Mother Hen]

Mrs. B, I but you're tickled pink! That's great news.

 

[Biddylee]

Great news Mrs B!

 

[Claireyb1]

Well. I too had my scan today - 19+3 weeks
All was fine, but I had to go off and eat something sweet as baby was sitting his/her bottom and she couldn't do the heart measurements properly.
All was fine in the end and she said all looked normal!
Decided not to find out what sex baby is,so we are officially team yellow!
Bit sad that this is the last scan (unless anything goes wrong) so I'm now contemplating a private 3D/4D scan.

Glad your scans all went well ladies!

 

[Mother Hen]

What a cutie! Congratulations!

 

[Mrs B mum2b]

thanks ladies! and hee hee Mother Hen!
Claire- fab news all is ok! I asked if I could have a walk / eat something to make beanie turn but she said no point!! Your scan pic is fab too - I was told it's not possible to get the whole baby on screen at this scan and tbh they looked at each section individually so I doubt I will get a good one....
I would prob have a private one if I didn't have another 4 booked in!!!! 1 for the heart as previously posted and 3 more growth scans at 28,32 + 36 weeks as I am diabetic.
My friends had 4d and they were amazing - bit freaky looking but amazing all the same!
