June Bundles of Joy - 2016

I hope your scan goes well tomorrow Karli

I had my booking appointment, now it feels like I begin the long wait for the next appointment and first scan.

joeybrooks - have you tried a detangling spray? we used to use it when lo was younger and it worked quite well, I can't comment on gel as I've never put products in his hair.

We're announcing to the rest of the family tomorrow at Thanksgiving. Then all our family and a few friends will know. I'm glad to let the secret out.

Trying to decide if i should wait until next week to ring the gp office again and chase my booking app, or ring tomorrow?

I'm only 9 weeks, but surely I should have the app by next weekish, and no one has phoned me to schedule it.... I'm only fussing as here the midwife sends off for your scan app at the booking app. Has anyone waited beyond 9 weeks without hearing anything ?!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

It's 11.50. I'm so worried and I don't know why. I wasn't with either of the other two

Good luck Sometimes being on forums such as this can make you paranoid.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Rhi I'd definitely phone. The missed you last time and missed my sister in both of her pregnancies.

If they've already got you in the system they can just give you an update but I wouldn't wait too much longer just in case

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Karli good luck with your scan, try and keep busy in the meantime

Rhi phone them now, it's not going to do any harm to check.

I would call today and chase them up and then every other day! it's a pain that you need to chase them up but it's better than them completely forgetting.

This is me! But unfortunately with my OWN deodorant! I special order it too as it's organic and so I really just want to use up what I have before I order a new scent but ugh every time I use it I have to put on a sweatshirt that will mask some of the smell

omg i totally hate that we can smell ourselves LOL!!! hope it eases for you soon hun.

It's 11.50. I'm so worried and I don't know why. I wasn't with either of the other two

try not to hun. my sil had said some things to me before my first ultrasound if you remember (that i should have dh go in case i lost the baby. real sweet) and it freaked me out so bad. I wound up having a terrible morning, everything kept going wrong, and it was all because i was stressed and worried! i wound up snapping at everyone and just kept freaking out. And broke down crying several times til i figured out why i was so upset. Try not to think about it too much, everything is going to be fine, and you'll get to see your beautiful little one! I think we'd know in our hearts if something was wrong before we had a scan.

oh cool how are you going to do it?!

i found out i was pregnant with my first on this day 5 years ago, which was thanksgiving

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Yeah thanks girls. I think I will ring. I hate to be the moany type and some snotty receptionist will probably just tell me "the midwife will call u back" but like my husband and pixie just said ; last time they did genuinely forget about me and I only discovered this when I needed a scan for my m.c at 11 weeks only to be told "oh you're not even in the system"

SO yeah if they can do it once.

 

[Squig34]

Gorgeous pic, Gaia!

Karli. Hoping all is perfect tomorrow.

Some people go by 13 weeks for 2nd tri, some by 14. I personally use 13!

Yes i'd still not heard by 10 weeks so i rang the midwife team and thy had lost my referral, some mix up due to my last one beige cancelled when i had a mc, & they couldn't get me in for 2 weeks. So i have my booking appt next week on the 3rd (i'll be 12 weeks) & they will ring for my scan appt while I am there. I'm hoping they will find a scan appointment quite soon as don't want to wait until 14+ weeks. I would give them a ring just in case you've got lost in the system so you're not late booking in like me xx

 

[GeralynB]

I got this shirt from Etsy and will have DS wear it and wait for someone to notice lol

 

[gaiagirl]

Cool shirt Geralyn! We did a big bro shirt when we told my parents but couldn't take the suspense when they didn't notice so within minutes I said "Do you like his shirt?" hahaha.

I consider 1st tri to be when the 13th week ends so at "13 weeks".

Looking forward to hearing Karl!

I'm considering changing my date to June 24 based on LMP, the scan and thinking back to when my O cramps were. Seems silly to change it by one day since it isn't even that meaningful but in these early days even 1 day seems appealing! WWYD?

ETA: I originally thought based on Ov test that I Od on Oct 3 buy I had cramps on Oct 2 so that was likely it. Making date June 24.

 

[karlilay]

Tha is everyone. I guess what will be will be, & I've always been a great believer in that will update when I get home. How long should my scan take?

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Regarding due dates, will I get my 'proper' due date based on the 12 week scan? I'm sure that's what happened last time, according to my cycle I was due 22nd Dec but the scan put me at 30th Dec and that seemed to be the date the midwife went by.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Good luck karli what times your scan x

 

[gaiagirl]

My scan this week took about 15 min. Checked out everything, measured baby, showed me baby moving around, took snapshots and measured heart rate.

 

[karlilay]

Thanks Gaia. It's 11.50 tomorrow. The letter, which I've actually lost, says it takes an hour. I don't remember it being that long either time before. It's so nerve wracking, I've had no issues, no bleeding or pain, but still convinced myself I'm gunna go and she's going to say no heart beat

 

[AngelofTroy]

I'm scared too, mine is on Friday. You'd think being really ill would reassure me but it doesn't! I did think I felt a flutter yesterday though, not sure enough to tell anyone 'in real life' but it felt familiar and not like gas lol. I hope it was baby!
