They give loads to women if you live in Sweden, I think they get a scan every 4 weeks - they also get 2 years maternity leave. Its a good country to have a baby in!
 
i agree i'd love more scans, although we will be having either a 3d or 4d scan as well but even so thats not enough lol. I wish there was something between now and 12 weeks though as i feel like i'm in a sort of limbo, i know i'm pregnant but don't have any medical proof of it just some hpts!

I go in sept 19. I will be 7 weeks and 1 day. I'm scared that they won't give me a scan. My neighbor across the street who is 4.5 months along said they usually only do one to determine the sex, unless they suspect something might be wrong. But how could that be? Don't they need to rule out twins early on? Or can they just tell that by feeling? I'm so jealous of all of you UK chicks and your frequent scans! ;)

I am also in PA. I had an early scan and another in two weeks. You can also opt for the 11/12 week scan to make sure the baby is developing properly. I have never heard of only having a 20 week scan and this is my 3 baby. You should def ask about it. No they cannot check for twins by just feeling. I would ask if I were you:winkwink:
 
I had my first scan at what I believed to be 6 weeks exactly (Friday the 7th) but my doc thinks I'm 6.5 or 7 weeks along :happydance: We saw the flashing little heartbeat and it was amazing and so reassuring :cloud9: I never thought I'd be so happy to hear my doctor said I had a nice corpus luteum to produce that progesterone :haha:

This week I've gotten major "morning" sickness. Can I PLEASE kick whoever named it "morning" sickness? Mine is actually worse mid-day through dinner. I have to think about what I want and eat that immediately otherwise I'll gag throw up :sick: I also got the beautiful petechiae on my face which makes me look spotted! I swore I'd be happy when I got symptoms because they'd be reassuring so I'm trying to stick by that :dohh:
 
I wish we got more than 2 scans.

I'm the most impatient person ever so will be paying for a gender scan at Baby Bond when we're 16 weeks.

That's 4 weeks extra shopping time!!

Also, I might ask for a 3d/4d scan for Christmas to have at 28ish weeks. I'll see how impatient I feel then. :)

Loved the cloth diapering article.

I feel like a new born in cloth is going to be super hard. But then I'll feel guilty knowing what I know about disposables.

Might use muslins to start with as soon as we're home from the hospital.
 
Oh Courtney, you make me feel soo much better! Thank you so much. This is my first bean and my first appt, so I really only know what people tell me. My neighbor did tell me she opted out for testing on her baby. Maybe that's why they skipped a 12 week scan? I know I'll opt for any scan and any test that they are willing to give me.
And Sweden?! Wow! That's amazing!

They usually give one at your first appt to date your pregnancy and will ask you if you want the 11/12 week scan (I forget the name but it involves a blood test and scan to assess baby's risk for Down's Syndrome) then again at 20 weeks :). So no worries you will see your little bean soon!!! What part of PA are you in?
 
Hi Ladies, I am 6 weeks tomorrow and since last night I've been having nausea. My actual stomach hurts a bit and I'm getting a pinching/pulling empty feeling. Is that what nausea/morning sickness, etc feels like? It's my actual stomach, not lower abdominal/uterus area or anything.
 
Oooo I've just bought some bum genius nappies.... The V3 all in one, birth to potty ones... Only paid a couple of quid.

Bought some bamboo liners for a few quid also... I'm deffo using reusuables! The amount of money you use on disposables is rediculus! So I just need some a couple of more :) also you constantly washing clothes anyhow, so a extra load of washing nappies isn't going to hurt. I will of course use some disposables whilst in hospital though, as when they born they poo is black like tar! And so I don't want them ruined

And my god the amount of times Ive had disposables explode on me is stupid and you can never clean up the gel soaker stuff! It's awful, I never realised just how much toxins and chemicals are in disposables...


I've got my scan booked in for the 13th... I'm only getting a early scan, due to miscarriages, one which was a blighted ovum and one caused by my uterus being full of blood. It's for early reassurance :) and I can't wait, if they refused to give me one, I would of paid privately just for peace of mind. The next scan will be around 12-13 weeks and then another at 20 weeks... If you need growth scans there at 28-30-32-34... I loved having those with my son, although at that point you can only just get a glimpse of a foot or a hand lol

Hi, some of my "pains" I think are my digestive system more than uterus. I think there is so much going on in there sometimes it's difficult to tell! :shrug:
 
I've had a lot of gas, to the point it's had me crippled, I suffer terribly with trapped wind when I'm not pregnant, so being pregnant and having those pains freaks the hell out of me!... But so far it's just been wind lol, I'm trying my best to just stick to water/real fruit juice to help keep everything running and under control :)

I'm the same! I'm still in very early days but every twinge and pain has me worried. Mostly its just wind and constipation tho, bleuch!
 
Thanks hun :). But can i be annoying and just say my name is spelled StefanieC not StephanieC. Everyone does that :)
 
Hello ladies :hi: can I join your group please, i'm pleased to say my edd is May 15th :happydance: i'm so excited, hope to become good friends with you all in the months to follo :hugs:
 
hey ladies - need some advice.

Today I was driving my car and was stationary at a junction when the lady in the 4x4 behind me drove into the back of me - she admitted she put her foot on the accerlerator instead of the brake - I am fine, no pain or injury anywhere. HSould I get chjecked out?
 
Hi longing2bamum! Congratulations on your BFP!

I have the gassy windy pains, very uncomfortable. It's easy to confuse them for pains in the uterus, I think it's more bowell related most of the time - sorry tmi!
I think mine is partly caused by these progesterone tablets.

Still no proper sickness yet, think I have 5 days before it hits if I'm the same as last time!

Goodluck to anyone tomorrow having scans, blood tests and results!
