Congrats on the great scans ladies! I love seeing those gorgeous pictures. Makes me feel more confident for my own scan, thanks : )

Thanks ladies!

awww that's adorable Karoolia! Glad everything went well!

Getting ready for my RN appointment here in an hour, I sorta wish they would've put my ultrasound, RN visit and physical all together instead of separating it every 2 weeks. Question for you girls that have already had these appointments, did they do a pap exam or just a physical on you? I am refusing a pap exam during the 1st trimester mostly because my last miscarriage, I had a very painful pap exam that made me bleed, and it seemed like from that bleed I never stopped bleeding until I miscarried. I don't know if it was related at all, but I definitely don't want to take a chance, you know? They can do one on me later if they feel they need to, just not until at least 13 weeks for my piece of mind.

Good luck darlingqueen! Pap exams aren't done over here in first tri unless they absolutely have to. Pretty much all they check in first tri is Urine, bloods and blood pressure. Definitely don't get it if it makes you nervous.

They don't do them in pregnancy here. If you don't want it done I wouldn't do it x

I didn't have a pap done, because I had one done a few months prior to getting pregnant, so it wasn't necessary. The only things they did was requisition blood work, ultrasounds, did a urine test, weight and blood pressure. It wasn't pretty boring lol.

Scan in a few hours!! Hoping all is doing well. Got good sleep the last few days, I am glad. Been forcing naps in the afternoon, going to bed after having a good snack so I don't have heartburn.

Good luck Myshelsong!! Glad you had a good sleep. Let us know how it goes!

darlingqueen - I think they should have done a pap for me, but the OB got confused and I didn't correct him. Last time he said he was going to, but then he discovered the miscarriage and just stopped everything. This time I was confused when the nurse said we were just doing the ultrasound so I asked and she said "since we did a pap last time we don't need to now". I didn't really want to do it so I just nodded.

I'm sure if you explain that you are concerned and would like to delay they will let you. I doubt waiting a few weeks makes much of a difference.

Great scan and picture Karoolia, I'm really happy for you.

Good luck for your scan myshelsong.

My scan is at 10:20 tomorrow, getting nervous now. I had to send another sample to Charing Cross on Monday (6+1) as part of the molar follow up, hoping to get my HCG level before my scan, not that it will make any difference to the scan whatsoever.

Myshel, good luck with the scan.

Karoolia, amazing scan pics.

I had a letter saying it was time for my smear test, but then during the midwife appointment they said I would need to have it done 3 months after pregnancy as I hadn't had it before getting pregnant.

Everything looks great!
Measuring 9w5d so right on track. Going to get the Harmony test next week.
So happy with the scan, I was terrified.

 

[maryanne1987]

Yey I'm so pleased for you myshelsong!

 

[karoolia]

Wonderful news Myshelsong!!! So glad it went well!

 

[darlingqueen]

Yay Myshel glad it went great! I am going to be taking the harmony test in 3 weeks! Things sure have changed since I was pregnant with my others, was never offered the test before! Exciting that you can determine the gender so early on!

I've had my scan, all is okay. Measuring 7+3 (I was 6+4 by dates) so my due date is now April 2nd. No sign of anything molar, although the scan can't rule it out for sure. My HCG level on Monday were 103,311 which is right on target for 7 weeks. I've been discharged from the EPAU (which contradicts what they said they were going to do), they have said if I have any bleeding then I can just phone in and they'll see me, so I guess at the moment I just need to have faith that everything will be okay.

Yey for a good scan love cookies. Pleased for you!
