Our 12 week scan is the day before Thanksgiving, so we are going to announce to the in-laws on Thanksgiving!
 
I have my scan on the 18th and I'm dreading the possibility of it being an internal scan, I've had one at the clinic before and I found it really uncomfortable and embarrassing especially as my doctor is male.

How far along will you be? Mine was external today at 8+5 if that helps?

either 8 weeks or 7+ something, I have no idea when I conceived only a rough guess, I'm speaking to a nurse regarding my cd28 progesterone test to try and get a date. I'm worried that being a size 18 they won't see anything on external.
 
I have my 1st doctors appointment in a few hours, so will hopefully get referred for an appointment with the midwife fairly soon. I'm so nervous though, I always worry I'm going to get judged because I look about 14 and this is my 2nd baby :haha: x
 
i was told anything before 12 weeks has to be an internal scan :( yikes

i didn't want for the ultrasound either time to tell family and friends. just announced. :)
 
I have my first appt at the midwife tomorrow, my anxiety is killing me I feel like cancelling it ��
 
I've got a phobia about birth, and i know I'm gunna have a panic attack in there tomorrow when or if she asks me about it. :cry:

I want to talk about it, but I'm really worried. And I've just been pushing it to the back of my mind for weeks, but it's all gunna become really real tomorrow.
 
Do your best to tell your midwife Karlilay so she can help you - if you think you might struggle to say it, why not write down what you want to say before you go?

Re scans, in my experience 6&7 weeks are internal, then external after that (8 weeks - ish on). Hopefully they'll be able to see baby through an abdominal scan Vaniilla.

My next scan is Friday. Going to tell my dad & brother & SIL then, my mum & sister already know, as do DH's parents (had massive stress today getting my meds so DH had to announce in a rather more stressful way than he intended, although he was planning to tell them).

I had lasagne & chips for lunch, it was sooooo good. Now I'm lying here starving & nothing sounds nice :/
 
I SO hope I can have an external scan I don't want them messing down there lol
 
For my first pregnancy my sister did the scan at 6+4 and had to do internal but then at my midwife appt at 8 weeks they did an external
 
Vanilla i'm an 18 too, and I had a private scan at 8 weeks last time and that was external. Unfortunately it was a mmc and the re scan at the nhs was internal. I was (irrationally) furious though because I don't think there was any need for the scan to be internal. I must have had 6 or 7 scans after my miscarriages to check the thickness of my uterus (I think it was ranging from 7 - 15 mm) and they saw those clearly enough externally.
 
So many scans coming up but I don't even have a date yet. I do have my booking in appointment with my midwife this week though which I'm looking forward to but I'm also a bit apprehensive. My community midwife isn't the easiest person to sit in a room with and not say a lot. I don't exactly know why but I was secretly grateful that I had a few stand in midwives during my last pregnancy because I'm just not comfortable around her. Who knows, maybe it's a different midwife now?

How is everyone coping generally? We told one of our best friends today (she doesn't want children but loves ours) and her happiness seemed very forced. I'm feeling a bit weary of people being so shocked that we're even choosing to have a third child when it's none of their business and then having then cheek to ask if it was planned.

Maybe its pregnancy hormones getting to me? I'm feeling this pregnancy way more than my other two. I only vomited once throughout the entirety of my previous pregnancies but I'm sick about 50% of days at the moment and unbelievably tired to the point I feel like I'm at the end end of a night shift by the time it gets to 2pm. I hope it passes soon!
 
I'm feeling very sorry for myself today all I did was pop into town but with the two boys and getting them in and out of the car and pushing the pushchair etc by the time I got home at lunch time I felt extremely nauseous and tired to the bone. I couldn't eat right to get on top of the nausea. I cancelled an afternoon trip to the park as I couldn't imagine having enough energy to even get out of the front door again. I feel so bad for my sons. Then when my husband gets home I take the opportunity to just basically die on the sofa but I feel so bad for him doing everything every single day. I just want to be able to function normally :( The thought of another 6 weeks of this is terrible!

Edit - I'm extremely grateful and feel blessed to be pregnant but I physically feel terrible right now. The exhaustion is overwhelming

:hugs::hugs::hugs:

It sucks doesn't it. I just keep telling myself that it will pass.... It doesn't help much tbh but it's something!
 
I am so there Boo. I feel short on patience and energy, and I already feel like my son is losing out to his sibling. I am also grateful and happy to be pregnant, but it is hard. HARD. I feel sick 80% of the time and have no energy to parent the way I have always, it feels like a struggle facing another month at least.

I know by about 10 weeks last time I was feeling better so I am hoping it is similar. November is a writeoff and December will hopefully be an awesome, festive and happy month!
 
I'm exhausted too and my son has an ear infection and getting teeth so he's extra cranky and not sleeping at night. DH doesn't usually get home until 9pm and by then I'm in bed so I only get help from him on the weekends. Can't wait for the 2nd trimester
 
Since the other day when I was throwing up I haven't much nausea.

Tonight I ate half a jar of gerkins :blush: Will probably at the rest tomorrow...
