Late September Babies Thread!

[Noo]

Scan today! Hoping it will put my mind at rest about mc.

I'm so jealous that you get early scans! We won't get our first till 11-13 weeks unless we pay for it Of course if you claim you've bled or had pain you may get an earlier one but I'm not happy to risk jinxing myself!

AFM: I've rearranged my GP appt as I am bored of waiting now so going to see her this morning then will wait to hear from the midwife about booking after that. Not sure what point we book anymore - It was 8-10 weeks first time round (over 8 years ago) though a few people I know have been provisionally booked earlier then done a full booking at 8-10 weeks.

I know it! Mine will be at 10+1. Which is also my first appointment. Another 4 weeks and 2 days away! But I wouldn't want to lie and say I'm beleeding just to get a scan. I don't believe that we have any options here for a private early reassurance scan. The private u/s place I found near here only does it after 10 weeks, and you had to have had a diagnostic ultrasound first. Oh well, just have to take it one day at a time.

Hi ladies - hope you're all ok.
I've had a bad weekend - started bleeding Sat am and having been since, bright red, clots, cramps - like my normal period.
Been to an out of hours GP who just checked my heart rate and blood pressure then said it wasn't ectopic but almost certain a miscarriage.
I'll be heading to an EPU in the morning to confirm.

I'm so sorry

I've been watching my line get darker and darker so that's really reassuring, but I'm still spotting although it's much less right now than earlier.

Got a blood test again tomorrow morning so we can make sure my hcg levels are going up. Midwife appt on Wednesday for a meet & greet and then Doctor's appt on Thursday. I still haven't decided if I want to go the dr or midwife way.

so sorry baby1 I hope it's not a miscarriage

I had to pay for it. £93!

Where do you live? Here in the UK midwives provide care - I'm not sure there is an option to see GP throughout pregnancy though it would be nice. However, GP's knowledge of pregnancy etc is fairly generalised as they're not pregnancy specialists x

I live in British Columbia, Canada. We have to go with one of the other. My sister & sister-in-law both had midwives, one had a good experience, the other one wasn't as good.

I really really really like my dr and he's an obstetrician

well scan went well. Dr put me ahead at 7+2 instead of 6+4 but as it's a private scan it won't have a bearing on what the hospital decides my due date is at my 12 week scan. i saw a heartbeat too at first the dr thought it was twins as he saw a shadow but it turned out to be one! he said i have cysts on my ovaries but that this is ok and they should disappear by week 12. all in all i'm glad that i spent the money as i feel reassured now there's a heartbeat. i'm going back on 14th march for a nuchal fold scan.

 

[Belle1981]

That is so exciting maybebaby3!!!! I think I'm getting a scan at 7 weeks to make sure the baby's heart is beating. I'm 5w2d right now and the waiting is horrible!

Lovely to hear some good news! A, considering paying for a private early scan but can't decide. Feeling generally low at the moment.

A private scan is definitely a pick me up in the 1st try waiting game!

So you would recommend it then?

Congrats! Wonderful pictures! I bet it was amazing getting to see the heartbeat

My first scan is tomorrow (also first appt) at 5w4d and I'm guessing I won't be able to see the heartbeat that early No reassurance whatsoever!

Yep I paid for an early scan with all my pregnancies. Once there's a heartbeat the risk of mc drops significantly

True! Hoping so! Do they usually follow up with another scan if they don't see a heartbeat the first time?

Yeah, that's here too. There are no "private reassurance" scans here. If bleeding or other complications occur then they will do a scan. Otherwise you have to wait until 8-10 weeks (mine of course having to be at 10+1 due to the nurse I'm meeting with being on vacation for my weeks 8&9).


maybebaby: great looking ultrasound Glad to hear your appt went well
