I had MANY ultrasounds with DD. 3 through my OB and like probably 3 at an elective place. She’s absolutely fine. And it helped me not be so anxious you know? Which is always good for baby. It’s not like you’re going every week. I think if it makes you feel better - do it.

I had a ton with both of mine, because I was high risk (weekly in third tri, more than double digits). As long as it’s not 24/7, should be fine! Soooo many other possible factors...

 

[MrsKatie]

Yes exactly, the impact of stress and anxiety can also be so significant, and the vast majority of people I know have had early ultrasounds too and everything is fine. So much to consider. You’ll make the right choice!!

I wouldnt normally have a scan until 11/12 weeks. The only reason we are getting an early one is because we were under the fertility treatment branch.... even though the treatment hadn't started yet, we only got as far as a few bloody tests and ovary TV scan .

DH is doing my head in at the moment. He won't allow me to be happy about this. Every time i talk about it hes just "lets see what happens". Jeez let me have 5 mins of happiness. I've had to tell a friend I had no intention of telling yet, just so I can talk about it..... is anyone else's partner like this?

 

[SCgirl]

We made the news public yesterday after the good scan. There is still so much that can happen, but this is already having such a huge impact on us (soooooo sick and can't do anything) and if something happens at this point, it'll have a pretty noticeable impact too... also figured things can happen at absolutely any point in pregnancy/birth.

 

[Nixnax]

Yay to making it public. Things can go wrong, but they also may not. Enjoy every moment. I can't wait to tell people

I'm 4 weeks today I've started gettimg really tired. I'm needing to nap when I finish work at 16:30. I've also started waking up earlier, which is not like me at all.

How’s everyone doing?

I have a group of friends I met years ago when we all had our firsts. One just announced today she is pregnant (she’s had a few losses, so it’s a big deal for her) and I feel awful as I then said I was too. I feel a bit like I’ve stolen her thunder, I wish I hadn’t said anything. But it felt weird if I didn’t as well. Usually I tell them straight away (they knew before my husband with no2!) but this time I was holding off a bit. I hope they don’t all think I’m horrible for announcing when she did.

 

[Nixnax]

awww I'm sure they'll be OK about it. You can talk about it with her now. Thats how I'd see it.

I'm ok thanks, nothing much to report, just tired.

I always think there is no tired like pregnancy first tri tired. It’s a bone aching exhaustion.

I’m having loads of cramps I’m still breastfeeding my 22mo and that makes them worse, but having low level ones all the time. I’m Trying to remember that my uterus is stretching and stuff, but always that niggling worry when you feel them.

Hi how's everyone doing! Back from my camping trip, it was great, actually made the week fly by cause I wasn't constantly thinking about being pregnant and now I'm 8 weeks tomorrow!
I'm pretty sure my brother noticed I wasn't drinking but he didn't say anything so I don't mind if he suspects lol

Hope the cramps ease off soon, I had them pretty bad at 4-5 weeks too but now it's mostly just back pain and RLP

 

[doggylover]

Glad you had fun camping! We are supposed to go this weekend but the weather is to be quite stormy and raining every day so we dunno if we will or not yet. They shut campsites for two days yesterday because the weather is so bad! Living here sucks - summer is always so wet!

UGH rlp is awful. I hope it eases up for you soon.

 

[sunnydee]

Yeah we were supposed to still be camping but we left early before the storm hit! Never been so glad to be home in my own bed listening to the wind and rain!

 

[tdog]

All good here apart from sickness and tiredness I was never this sick with my others I guess each pregnancy is different xx

@sunnydee glad you had a nice time I agree always nice to be in own bed xx

 

[KylasBaby]

Wow this moves fast. Been dealing with DD having an ear infection so haven’t been checking in as much, but she’s getting better! Finally! Had to fight her doctor.

anyway 12 weeks today! It CRAWLED in the beginning, but seems to be going fast since 10ish weeks. Caught baby on Doppler last night again. Been feeling little flutters ESPECIALLY after I disturbed it with the Doppler last night lol. It wasn’t pleased lol.

 

[Nixnax]

@doggylover it really is bone aching tired. Last time I felt this tired was after a week long festival. I've had constant cramps. Im still on knicker watch everyday.

@sunnydee yay for taking your mind off of it. I cant wait to do that. We have a trip booked in Sept, i cannot wait.

@tdog I hope the sickness passes soon.

@KylasBaby lovely little bump appearing there. Im nkt sure when I'd show. Im a little overweight so can hopefully hide it for a while.

 

[doggylover]

@Nixnax knicker watch I am too!

@KylasBaby yay for 12 weeks!!!

Hi everyone! Cautiously pregnant over here. Haven’t missed a period yet and waiting for those lines to darken! But if we have a sticky bean April 30 is the due date! Just a few days before my youngest turns 3.

each time I announced a pregnancy my SIL said “me too”... it was annoying tbh but it would’ve been silly to not say anything. Then we would’ve found out when, a week later??? And thought why didn’t you just say something before?? I think it’s ok.
