NT ultrasound at 2. So little over 4 hours. Just twiddling my thumbs waiting...

Yeah you’re probably right. I might come round to the flu jab by the time I go for my 16 week appointment. That’s when she wants to give me the whooping cough vaccine which seems a little early so I’m confused... back to google! Haha

Yeah that’s odd they want to do that so early. It’s supposed to be closer to birth so baby will be born with some of the immunities. Weird.

I would trust the medical professionals over google!

I got the flu shot while pregnant with my first. Because I almost died during delivery, I never produced milk- so he wasn’t getting antibodies from me. We found out the day we got home from the hospital that the nurse who looked after him for the night while I was recovering tested positive for the flu in the morning- so he was exposed. We were scared to death. Amazingly, he didn’t get it- I totally attribute it to having received the shot in pregnancy, so he got antibodies from it!

also this last year, my whole family got the shot. My son got the flu (Confirmed with testing) from school- we were all exposed (he and his sister tend to steal/share drinks, he inadvertently coughed in my face, etc)- when he was diagnosed I didn’t bother separating anyone bc I knew it was just a matter of time. Between the shot and tamiflu, he was feeling back to himself in less than 24h- and nobody else in the family got it!

so I’m all for pregnant women (high risk group) and their families (could expose baby and mom) getting vaccines!!

@KylasBaby hope the scan goes well!! Nothing worse than that wait!

@WannaBMamma7 maybe it is different rules where you are. Her it’s no whooping cough until after 28 weeks.

Should everyone in the house get whooping cough vaccine? I guess kids would still have the immunity from vaccines? We are all definitely getting the flu shot this year anyway!

@KylasBaby good luck with scan!

What's everyone's take on caffiene? I've just been having 1 cup of tea a day, I cut it out with my first pregnancy but feel I need it now I'm exhausted with 2 kids!

It’s recommended anyone who will be around baby get it.

Measuring 12+5/6 HR 163 (was 164 at 8wks) NT measurement was mostly .13cm highest was .18cm which is perfect. My placenta is sort of in front and sort of above baby. Same as with my daughter but it moved. Of course not one nub shot the entire scan.

@sunnydee at the minute I probably drink about 2-3 cups of tea a day (I don’t drink coffee). I would continue that the whole way, but I usually go off tea by about 10 weeks. Absolutely gutting. Especially over winter!

I try and only have one cup of tea a day but I’ve read that you should only have 2 cups of coffee so I just apply the same rule. I know green tea has quite a bit of caffeine too.

Tea is what gets me through work as I need an excuse to get away from my desk so I drink just hot water now and lots of cold water. It’s helping so much with my nausea, heartburn and bloating but I am missing more regular tea haha

 

[sunnydee]

Oh no @doggylover That's too bad that you go off it! I get such a bad headache if I don't have any so I'll stick with it for now!
@WannaBMamma7 peppermint tea helps alot with the bloating too, I actually really enjoyed drinking red raspberry leaf tea in my last pregnancy too but I think it's only for 3rd trimester?

 

[doggylover]

@sunnydee NHS website says 3 cups of tea, or 2 cups of coffee, is fine

Oh I no I've looked up nub and skull for years 6-7 years to be precise I no a lot of people don't like doing skull when do you get that? I'm having the genetics done but we don't get to find out gender that way xx

I had my blood draw last Friday. It can take 2 weeks. So hopefully within the next week. But I’ve seen people saying they’re backed up due to decreased staff bc of COVID. The form my OB had me fill out for it asked if I want to know gender. I circled yes like 57 times lol.

Lovely photos Kyla, are they changing your dates or keeping original due date? It feels so strange that I haven’t even seen this baby yet but I already know it’s a girl (I hope anyway haha)

I don’t know. I won’t see my OB for a few more weeks for a heartbeat check. I’ll ask her then. If I remember lol. It is measuring almost a week ahead. But I’m sure of my dates. Opks, temping & using a donor so the goods only last so long lol. Growing fast I guess. DD was always ahead too. When do you get to see baby?

I’m hoping this one is a few days ahead of where I think I am, I’m exhausted with being pregnant already so a couple of days less would be grand still 5 days before I get to see baby, all 3 of my scans have been when I thought I was 13+2 but my others were pushed back by 1 day
