Hello ladies.

Not good news from my scan today I have had another missed miscarriage. No change from last scan, measuring 5-6 weeks. Booked in for a erpc on wednesday.

I wish you all happy and healthy pregnancies but sadly mine was not meant to be (this time)

Hello and welcome to all the newbies!! :thumbup:

Well, my nausea is finally starting to subside and I'm sooo grateful. Still a bit tired, but I'll take that over nausea any day. Don't have too much of a bump yet; my pants are definitely getting tighter, but not enough where I need maternity clothes yet. U/S coming up on April 5. Super excited to hear the hb and see the lil punkin flipping around. :flower:

Anyone else have u/s coming up?
 
hello all its been awhile since i posted but i have maternal testing and a u/s on wed then on thurs i have my 12 week u/s. M/S has subsided even though i never really threw up from it i was gagging alot. im still tired but like you said ill take that over the m/s. i am starting to show a little and pants are getting snugger so i have pulled out my summer dresses which helps alot because im not one for super tight dresses i like them flowy. just wish the weather would stay warm so i could wear them everyday!!

Hello! Welcome back. :winkwink:

What is a maternal scan and why is it the day before your normal u/s? I have some cute flowy summer dresses too, but since it's still snowing here, I won't be able to wear them for quite some time. Ugh. :coffee:
 
Hiya ladies I've not posted in a while silly internet wasn't working properly!
My nausea seems to be subsiding a little but I'm starving ALL the time!!!!

Hope everyone is keeping well! I have my booking in appointment at the hospital in 3 weeks time! Can't wait!
 
My nausea is subsiding but the morning retching is still as strong as ever!!

Little bump is becoming more apparent! Looks more like a bump and less like bloat!!
 
Hi ladies, feeling much less sick lately :) its small waves of nausea now rather than the ' I have to lie down or I'll vomit kind'. Very gassy over the last three days. Starting to like veggies a bit again, now if I could only convince my son to eat them :)
 
the maternal testing is for genetic testing mostly for downs syndrome ill get the u/s and blood work done. i had the 12 wk scan scheduled since the 5th and the maternal testing isnt at my ob its at the hospital its a specialist thing and they called me like 2 wks ago and told that they have to do between 11 1/2 wks and 12 and this thurs i will be exactly 12 wks and on top of that they only do first trimester testing on weds so i had to take it. last wk it was 70's n 80's here and now its back to 40's n 50's so im going to have to hold off a bit for my dresses :(
 
Hopeful,

So glad to hear that you are feeling better! That is great! Nausea is the worst.
 
Hi girls

Sorry to hear your news Debzie, take care of yourself x

Hope everyone else is doing well?

The time seems to going quite quick at the moment, and the 12 week milestone is almost upon us!

I have my scan a week on Thurs, so I'll be 12+4. I'm having the booking in app on the same day. My DH can't come to either so I was wondering if anyone knew much about what they will ask about his family history, so I can be prepared?

Is anyone starting to think about telling work soon? I think I have to tell my boss this week as she is on holiday for 10 days as of the day of my scan. I don't want to wait another 10 days to tell everyone and feel she should know first. I am quite scared...she is lovely but she herself if quite anti children, but I am sure she will be happy for me, i'm just such a wimp!
I also don't want to jinx anything by telling people early, but we has a scan at 10+5 and everything was fine. eeek!

x x x
 
Hello girls! Apologies for not posting recently... life seems to be flying by at the moment!!

Debsie really sorry for you loss :hugs:

I have booking in appointment with my MWs tomorrow to have all the bloods etc done and they'll book my 12 week scan appointment tomorrow too. here's hoping it will be at 12 weeks and not at 14 lol!!!

I thought my nausea was subsiding then had a bad day with it on Monday... obviously just toying with me still lol.... I remember it came and went till 14 weeks last time!!

Big thing is that I have a bump...! don't know how I post an image on here??

Oh gotcha. I think my u/s is combined with the genetic testing. Seems to be quite painless, just looking around at certain spots for me at least. I was reading about your lovely weather back east. Lucky!!
 
Emsmum - Hope we can see your cute bump pic soon! I'll post one as soon as I get a decent one; maybe after my scan next week.

Feanorous - My dr already asked all the q's about family history at my earlier appt, so I can't really help you there. Hopefully you can just find out any major family health problems that run in his family that that will be good enough. My u/s is next Thursday also! Hope we'll have cute baby pics to post! :flower:
 
Tried to add it as an attachment but it was too big (grrrr).... will have to get another on my phone or upload it to photobox or something....

PS can't believe how cool it feels to see 11 weeks on my ticker!!

Near me the downs testing is part of the ultrasound too though its optional you don't have to have it. Last pregnancy though they didn't offer the downs as part of the ultrasound but did offer the blood tests instead.... confusing!!
 
Nuchal testing is quite new in the UK, it was only introduced where I am last February (after we'd had 12 wks scan with DS) we declined the downs blood tests anyway. We're opting out of NT part of scan this time. Our scan/booking appt is on Thursday, hoping it makes this pregnancy a bit more real for me! It's still a bit weird being pregnant again.

Good luck with your scan! They ask if anyone on your side of the family and on hubby's side of the family ever had mental ******ation, Fragile X syndrome or any birth defects. They also ask if anyone on either side is Jewish because apparently there are higher risks involved. They will also ask you if hubby has any medical issues right now. High blood pressure, heart disease, etc...

That is about the extent of it. You should do great! :)
 
I was 13 weeks yesterday so officially in the second tri now :D

My midwife asked about the usual stuff a dr would ask, things like high blood pressure, any genetic diseases etc. I don't know if they are in my notes at home so I can check later for you!!

First morning this week I haven't heaved while brushing teeth! Just done a little one at my desk though!!
 
Hi Ladies -

I am 11+1 - time is flying by, though I can't wait to hit 13 weeks! I have my NT scan on 4/10 when I will be exactly 13w. My all-day sickness (it was never just morning for me :dohh: ) has been getting better. I've lost about 10lbs but doc isn't worried.

How many of you are planning on finding out the gender?!
 
Of course I am finding out the gender! I am counting down until May when I will have my 20 week U/S!
 
I have a scan date!! one week today 4th April so at 12+2. So excited to finally see baby!

Flutterly how exciting being in the 2nd trimester!!

I will definitely be finding out gender - cant wait!!
