Normally u have a scan at 12 weeks unless there is any reason for an early one, with my son I had midwife at 8 weeks and my 1st scan at 12 weeks x it does seem ages don't it , but will fly by hopefully, this time round I have the midwife the 9th july ill be 6 weeks, but I've changed drs since I was pregnant with my son x congrtz x

I think it's different everywhere you go. 4/5 pregnancies I have had an early 6-7 week scan arranged for various reasons (one I had to pay for myself though as they wouldn't give me one). This was at the same hospital just different doctors.

I think 12 weeks for a first scan is pretty standard, any earlier is a bonus.

So I've woke up and feel sick as a dog , not sure if I just feel sick or its morning sickness kicking in, my boobs r a little tender they were killing yesterday, I'm 5 weeks 2moz x

Congrats and welcome Dibomb and Ruby

In my last pregnancy the midwife booked me in about 8-9 weeks then had my scan at 12-13 weeks so expecting the same this time.

Anyone know if they will automatically 'label' me high risk just because of my age? I am 40 in 2 weeks

Erm I'm not sure hun? I'm sure ill be under a consultant, I was last time , it was because I had been a little depressed over my mom dying I was under consultant this time it wil be because I'm over weight , I'm not huge bt my bmi is 31 I think x

Welcome to all the new girls and congrats on your pregnancies!!!

Sorry I've been a little MIA, been out most of the day yesterday, didn't get home till about 11.30pm (even my little boy didn't get home till that late! Though he did fall asleep in my arms by the bonfire )

I am so nervous about this pregnancy! At first I thought my boobs were sore but it really was only my right boob on the side, where I felt a sore little lump... it doesn't really seem to hurt anymore though! And have no symptoms at all!! Just really really want this to be a sticky baby!!! Am wondering if there's anything the doc can do for me, like some blood tests or maybe an early scan to ease my mind. Guess I'll have to make sure he knows I'm pretty worried! Gonna ring tomorrow for an appointment.
I did read somewhere that sometimes your boobs don't hurt the 2nd time around as they don't need as much preparation (or something like that!) I didn't have sore boobs with my mc so that's probably why I'm worrying!
I never really had any symptoms with my son either though! And he's perfectly healthy! I was just really tired and lost my appetite and had sore boobs (but he was my first!)
I guess there's nothing I can do really, just hope for the best!

I had sore boobs for a few day but nothing now Maybe my hormones settling, my body becoming used to them I am trying not to read to much into it, still testing positive on HPT's lol and for me in past pregnancies I never got MS or fatigue etc until about the 5+ week mark; so just need to wait it out - My GP wouldn't even see me now for pregnancy related worries.

Good Luck Eltjuh, hoping everything is just fine; every pregnancy is different xxx

I didn't get symtoms with my son til I was 6 weeks , x

 

[Nikkilewis14]

I feel the same about no symptoms i told hubby i just dont feel pregnant at all! No sore boobs anymore, no nausea really, im only 4 weeks but i did feel nauseous the other day so i dot know whats up! Hope everything is ok.

U may be considered high risk at 40 but i think it depends on ur doctor...

As for scans, so e people get them at 6/8 weeks, some not til 12.... My doctor uses a specialty doctor for his 12 and20 week scans and we always get free 4d pics which is nice! Others need to pay for them :/...

I will def be considered high risk w my type 1 diabetes! What a pain!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Guess i need to relax on symptoms too...i got sick at 6 weeks last time,and they came and went.
