*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[jmandrews]

Has everyone made an appointment with their gp or midwife? I was planning on holding off until 8 weeks, or there abouts as we don't get a scan till 12 weeks.
My symptoms seem to be minimal today no nausea which I have had for a few days and no cramps. My breasts are still quite tender though, especially when my 2 year old uses them to push herself up, ouch!!

My DD does the same thing! Hurts so bad! Briggs tears to my eyes.

The last 2 days my bbs have gotten progressively less sore and have had some sharp pains on my right side Only thing that is keeping my hopes up is that I was very nauseous when I woke up today and that was new. But also am coming down with a cold. I wish I could get more bloods done, but now I am between drs. The sharp cramps are really starting to worry me.

Hello, my name is Blob! :wave:



Baby measured between 5-6 weeks (so they think I'm earlier along than what I am, but I measured 5+3 at 6 weeks last time and caught up with the next scan) and was there with a heartbeat. The big black thing to the right of the scan is a cyst on my ovary, they say it's a corpus luteum cyst? And can be beneficial to the baby, helping to secrete hormones. Hopefully it will go away on its own, but if it bursts it can cause pain and bleeding. (So naturally I am going to think miscarriage! Hopefully it will just go away though!)

My "12" week scan will be March 25th - I'm actually 13 weeks then (very certain of my dates, thank you!) but hopefully they can still look for the abnormalities then even if I'm a little bit further ahead?

I've been given my bounty pack and starter midwife notes too so that's something. But next scan is at 8+1 so I'm looking forward to that more as it's a private one and we should hopefully see more.

But so far, so good! Just one baby, a heartbeat, and in the right place. And best of all, no evidence of a SCH so far.

Aw yay such a cute little blob!!!! So glad everything looks great. Can't wait for ur next scan

 

[jmandrews]

I wish I could have betas done. They don't do them here. I hate that I have to wait 5 more weeks for reassurance.

 

[kel21]

Very cute blob! Glad everything went well!

 

[Scottishmum2B]

That's great wigfield. I hope the cyst disappears on it own and doesn't cause any worry by bursting.
You have your 12 week scan on my 30th birthday.

 

[whigfield]

Thanks ladies!

That's exciting Scottishmum! It's 4 days before my birthday, too. March birthday buddies.

Could you get betas done privately jmandrews? Or pay for an early scan?

 

[Scottishmum2B]

That will be a nice early birthday present for you - getting to see your little blob.

 

[whigfield]

Hopefully blob will be active and kicking around alot, but the midwife has warned me baby has to lay nicely so they can take the measurements for the downs syndrome test. I bet this one will be a little bugger and make it difficult!

 

[zephyr]

Whigfield - congrats on the scan! Glad to hear it went well

Scottishmum - I havnt booked an appointment with anyone yet either. I figured they dont do much at this stage anyway and if I had concerns id just go to my gp.

i feel so sick today I was hoping to avoid morning sickness this time round as I had it really bad last time.

 

[Yo_Yo]

Aww look at your little bean whigfield!



Glad baby is doing well.

 

[Yo_Yo]

Good luck Whigfield!

Soo hormonal today and very tired!

Dd2 is refusing a day nap too!

Hope everyone else is doing good?

It's raining non stop here!You still got snow Jmandrews?

Yuk rain is no fun either. I am ready for some sunshine. We have about 8 inches of snow here. I am visiting my parents and staying here since my sister is in town.

Will you swap the rain for some snow please?! Lol

That's nice-have a nice time with your family

You should get booked in soon honey. I got told off for waiting last time as they need to get things in motion such as the 12 week scan booked a good few weeks beforehand.

In booked to see midwife tomorrow and she will book the scan whilst I'm there.

 

[sprite30]

Congrats Whigfield such a good looking blob. I have another scan tomorrow morning hopefully I'll be able to see a blob too.

 

[darkriver]

Great blob whigfield.

I have to wait another 4-8 weeks for a scan boo. Cant afford private.

I am having a major stress inside. Me and my oh have had issues as we rushed into our relationship. We were best friends for 3 years and when we got together we got pregnant straight away. His family have been saying that we should wait a year to have more children. They dont know I am pregnant yet and I dont know how to tell them!

Hi Scottishmum2B, I'm in Scotland too!

I'm in Lothian so I phoned the central midwife team number and they booked me in for my 8 week midwife appointment and gave me a date for my 12 weeks scan. It's early, but I just like having the dates in my diary. The 12 week scan is on DHs birthday!

So far I've had no symptoms apart from the occasional bit of cramping, but even that has been quiet for the past few days. Last time I had really sore boobs at this point, but nothing this time. My sickeness and tiredness didn't start till just before 6 weeks with DD so I am just enjoying having no symptoms at the moment in case it all kicks off next week.

 

[CharlieKeys]

baby blob!! Lovely scan

I booked in with the midwife at 9 weeks, but apparently I need to see the nurse at 9 weeks so they changed me over!

Can't wait to see everyone's 12 week scans start popping up on here

I never thought about waiting times for the scan etc so I might just make some enquires.

Another Scot, happy days.
I'm in Fife. With my last pregnancy, I made an appointment with the gp who referred me to the midwife. I'd rather not go to the gp this time as its a waste of their time and mine. I wonder if fife has a central midwife number I can call. I will have to go and google that.

My boobs have just started to get sore the last couple of days. I'm not as tired or nauseous today. Maybe it's the calm before the storm!
