Aw thats brilliantr news Lala, so glad your scan went well and the baby was so lively. I reckon its a good sign when the baby measuring ahead as it must be growing very well. I got moved ahead about a week and I know my dates aswell.
Hope it flies by until your next scan x
 
Love, what a cute bump you have :)

Lala, great news! Scan pic looks like a little person now! Glad to hear all is well.
 
Lalar i'm so happy to hear your scan went well. I can't believe bubs has come such a long way! From measuring small to being 2 days ahead. Might be a tall one :)

Afm, my toddler's been saying 'baby' alot, just out of the blue it's not only become his new word, but also his new favourite word. :happydance:

I've also been feeling baby movements. Which i thought was too early, but they're a bit strong to be gas, especially early in the morning as my gut is empty. I can't wait to feel more!

How is everyone else going?
 
It's so encouraging to hear all the great scan news lately. My NT scan is on thursday and I've been slowly but surely losing confidence over the past week or so. I have no real reason to think there's anything wrong, but just can't shake the possibilty of not seeing a beating heart. Anyway, thanks to everyone for sharing their good news, and giving me a little more confidence for my scan!
 
Scooby, I know that feeling of dread before scans that something is going to be wrong. But more often tahn not your proven wrong and everything is perfect which Im sure it will be for you. Good luck x
 
Scooby, I felt the same before my scan on monday. It's only natural after all we have all been through to get this far. I'm sure that you will be fine. Good luck!! L x
 
Scooby, I feel exactly the same! Have an appt. next Tuesday so I will be able to hear the heartbeat again (finally!) but I am really struggling with this "in-between" phase right now. Wish I could feel movement already!!!

I am sure everything will be fine though, just hard not to psyche yourself out :)
 
Lala, lovely scan pic! Great to hear that all is well :)

Scooby, good luck for tomorrow! I know exactly how you feel but all will be fine and you will get to see you little baba!!!

Ive got my 16 weeks midwife appointment tomorrow. For some reason I am really nervous. Even though bump is getting bigger and I am starting to look pregnant I have convinced myself that the MW wont find a HB on the doppler! Apart from that am feeling great. Stilll very tired but so much better than the first tri. Am back at the gym and have managed to eat really heathly this week. Hope to keep this up!

Quick question, do I have to have a full bladder for the doppler?
 
Thanks for your support everyone! I've been so busy dealing with my 15 year old unruly step-daughter (found out she's been having a boy in the house while OH and I are at work) that I've barely had a minute to worry about my scan tomorrow. I kinda wish school was year round so I wouldn't have to worry about her being home alone all day for the next 2 and 1/2 months. I do hate the teenage years!!

Anyway, thanks so much, and I'll be sure to update you all on my scan tomorrow afternoon. Hope everyone is well!!
 
Hi kate. No need for a full bladder for the doppler now. It is only really needed early on in pregnancy. I never get patients to fill bladders after 16 weeks and don't usually have a problem. I am sure that your appointment will be fine so enjoy it!!
Your area must have a different pregnancy plan. I don't have a midwife appointment now until 24 weeks although I have a scan at 20 weeks!
 
Oh Scooby, that's no fun - same happened to me with my 16yo (son) last year. It's really hard at that age because if they are determined to make something happen, usually they will find a way :/ I was that way at that age too and that's why I now have a teenager, guess it makes me a little hypocritical :blush: At least I went on to marry the boy (he is OH now)...so it all worked out for the best in the end!

Luckily OH and I worked near home last year so we would just pop home unexpectedly at random times so my son knew we might be there at any moment, and this summer I am staying home so I have my eyes on everything. Good luck!!!

And of course, good luck today as well :)
 
Crancherry, you're right, in the end there's no way to stop them besides staying home all the time. Wish I could quit my job, but finances won't allow it. My goal is to somehow survive the next 3 years (until she goes to college) without anything too traumatic happening. We'll see how that goes!

My scan went great! LO was bouncing around and we eventually got to see everything we needed to. I don't have official results as far as odds yet, but after measuring the doctor says everything points to good news! Heart rate was 158 I believe. I'm so relieved to see that little beating heart again!

Lovely scan picture Scooby!

Heard the heartbeat again today with the midwife so am feeling very happy indeed! Am in big countdown mode now as only 2 weeks on Monday till my 20 week scan (will actually be 19 weeks). Can't wait to find out the sex! Got a strong feeling that it's a boy :)
 
Hi everyone,
great news about your scan Scooby, what a lovely scan picture.

Kate, glad you got to hear the heartbeat, its brilliant isnt it! Ive used my doppler several times now, such a reassuring sound.
Im not sure when Im getting my 20 week scan or if that will be included in my cervical length checks.
Starting at 18 weeks, 20, and 22 weeks they are going to do a transvaginal ultrasound to measure my cervical length. Just a precaution as I worry sick about an incompetent cervix due to my double womb. The consultant dosent think there will be a problem but have agreed to check this. Any signs of my cervix being short or incompetent and they will place a stitch in.
 
Great news Scooby and Kate! Can't wait until Tuesday when I get to hear the hb again :)
