Crazy to think though that my mom had 0 US with me and I don't think much doppler/fetal heart rate monitoring at ALL. Not even once in 40 weeks!

i know right? my mom either. she had one scan with my brother i think maybe? but that was 4 years after me.

Morning sickness I s back big time

so sorry hun

Tink, let us know how it goes!

I want to limit Doppler and ultrasound use but it hasn't really happened. I've had 3 scans and the dr has used the Doppler twice. Luckily all were short though. Of course it's nice to have reassurance too, just some studies about them freak me out. I did skip the NT scan because I figured it would be more than a few minutes long.

The NT scan i believe is about an hour. I had it with dd. but passed this time.

Have you guys made your pregnancies 'public' yet? 15 weeks today and only a handful of people know. Not sure when I'll tell the rest of work....

everyone has known since 5 weeks here.

Scan was all good! I forgot how emotional it is seeing the little baby wriggling on screen, and it always seems to take you by surprise when you see it there haha.

My official due date is now 14th June which is 3 days earlier than the original one, so it was nice to be told I'm a teeny bit further along than I thought, I really expected to be put back! I've been comparing the pictures to my son's scans.. I'll post a picture up later to see if anyone has any gender guesses.

I can't believe how quickly we were seen, at my old hospital with my sons scans it was always super busy and each time we were seen about an hour after the set appointment time. We came 15 mins early to this one and were seen straight away. I'd been scanned and had my bloods done and back in the car in under half an hour so we had time to go into town for some coffee and cake which was nice. Weirdly enough I saw a mum I talk to from my son's nursery in the hospital and found out she's pregnant with the exact same due date as me.

Can't wait to see the photos!!!! And i also can't wait til all those yellow birds on the front page start changing colors


afm- ob appt today, hopefully will hear hb! taking dd along and letting her hear it! exciting!

Most of my symptoms have disappeared- which kind of freaks me out, even though it happened with dd too- it's still freaky. will be happy to hear the hb today.

Just a question... can you choose where you have your ultrasound scan?

I've been booked my 20-week scan at the hospital where I gave birth to my son, as this hospital does not do them. However, since I had a traumatic birth with my son going to the hospital has been a massive trigger for anxiety and I'm planning on giving birth at a different one. The thought of going there next month is making me feel really anxious, do you think it would be possible to for me to have it changed to a different hospital? I would rather travel then go back there.

Yes, absolutely you have a choice on where you have treatment. Have you told your midwife? she should be able to arrange/rearrange it so that you never have to go into that hospital.

That's great Tinkerbell. Looking forward to pics.

12 weeks! Yes! Let's hope it is a turning the corner week...

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Thanks ladies

Thanks vanilla, I'll phone my midwife. She's been very supportive about my previous birth and anxiety ect so hopefully it won't be an issue

Glad your scan went well Tinkerbelle

Pixie, I think that's the last of the weekly scans now. I'll get scanned on Tuesday at booking in & then find out their plan for monitoring me, which I hope will include scans every few weeks to keep an eye on growth, which is the thing I'll now be most anxious about.

We've told family & are telling close friends as we see them, but to the world at large (& mostly work), it will be after the 20 week scan & we won't be announcing on FB.

Spd has arrived, my hips have started getting very sore walking back home on the school run, I ended up needing crutches with ds, I dread to think how I'll manage the walk later on.

My NT scan only took about 15 minutes with each baby.

I'm not having my hospital appointments and scans at my local hospital because I have had all my babies at the second closest one. I just told my midwife and she arranged it all.

I'm getting lots of aches in my abdomen today, I guess this is stretching ligaments? It's not like period pain, or cranos, just a dull ache like I've pulled a muscle or something. Off out to OH's work Christmas do so I hope the pain stays manageable.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

1 of the scan pics, any guesses?

Great picture!
Glad all is well .. I think

 

[Tinky_82]

Cute pic Tink - I have no gender guesses sorry

 

[vaniilla]

Angel - your husband doesn't work in finance does he? DH has his work christmas thingy today too.

Lovely scan pic! I have no idea though on gender, I'm terrible at guessing.

 

[Boo44]

Lovely pic tink so glad all is well! Your baby looks so big because you're further on than us when you've had your scan! That pic doesn't show the nub so it would be hard to guess xx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I'm hopeless with gender guesses!

Bacon and cottage cheese butties is perfectly reasonable right?

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I'm gonna guess ... Baby ! =) and I bet I'm right. Haha I'm useless with the gender theory stuff. If I just look and pluck a guess out of thin air I think girl =)

Er no

All I've been craving is everything unhealthy- McDonald's chicken burgers, chips and gravy, chocolate cookies and chocolate brownies. And I've been indulging in these things wayy too much, trying to be healthy so we had chicken and veg stir fry for dinner tonight (didn't enjoy it at all) and I'm not touching any chocolate but it's so hard!
