I saw the mw today. All was good. She is referring me to the OB, the anti D clinic as I'm rhesus negative and for my scan. For those of us in the UK not expecting our first I think the new maternity notes look so much better.

Did you used to have some sort of paper booklet before? My SIL is Birmingham and it was just a coloured (can't remember colour) booklet thing and was so tatty by the end. Ours here (well since my first pregnancy at least) have always been in some sort of folder, but our booklets have been the same throughout

So hubby can't make my dating scan on 1st April due to work buuuuuut instead I booked a private scan for this Saturday as well eeeeeeeek. It was only £50 so not too bad but then I noticed they will look in 4d from 10 week, and their cheapest package is £50 also so would be rude not to go for it lol. Woman said we may not see much but seen some fab 12 week pics on google and if it's not clear will just ask for 2d instead. Very excited either way.

So excited for you all !! happy 8,9,10,11 and 12 weeks ladies!!!
Welcome to all the new mommies.

Well, my 12 week scan was suppose to be tomorrow but I had a call from the hospital and now on friday as they would like me to be seen by a consultant... apparently with PCOS your at high risk of developing pregnancy related diabetes... so an extra 3 days wait! GREAT!

for the past couple of weeks I have been EXTRA tired and EXTRA EXTRA sick! gosh this MS had me morning, noon and evening. since hitting 11 weeks i feel like im getting my energy back and the MS has vanished

Heard baby on doppler yesterday hb was 178. Sure is the most beutifull sound ever!

DH is unable to make my appt on Friday as he's on a business trip abroad but we have decided to go for a 16 week private gender scan, so exciting.

we havent brought a single thing for baby yet, we want to wait until we know what it is but we have been looking at moses baskets and may buy one this weekend as we want that to be white. Can not wait to start shopping for baby clothes.

We also havent told a sole were having a baby, cant believe we've kept it quiet this long. i dont know if i can wait until Friday!!!

Hi ljo
it sucks hubby cant make it! dh cant make my 12 week scan either.
i went for a private scan at 9+6 and it was honestly the most amazing thing ever. we could actually see baby moving about, they even gave me 2 pictures and 15min dvd of my scan. she showed us in 4d as well but tbh i prefered seeing it in 2d as i could make out what is what much better. i think 4d would be alot clearer at 12 weeks.

Good luck hun, x

Yay so many of you your weeks change over on Mondays that's so exciting. I was 11 weeks on Saturday and I am estatic about it so I'm sure you guys are equally estatic for your milestones.

Yay good luck with all the scans coming up mine next one isn't until next Monday. Hopefully the week goes quick.

Wow Zebadi, that's great that you were actually able to not tell people I completely cracked at 9+3 it was driving me insane, I just had to tell lol

Were doing the private gender scan at 14/16 weeks as well, that's going to be so exciting

 

[Jcliff]

I have my 12 week scan on Thursday! Crazy how fast first tri is going by this time around

Can you have a gender scan at 14weeks? i know different places say different things. The clinic i go to said 16 weeks is the earliest they will do it.

I'm so excited for us all!!!

I feel awful this morning. My back is sore, I almost threw up for the first time but ended up just gagging and I am really tired. Plus my daughter is teething and she's been miserable. She just got her first molar. She followed me into the bathroom when I thought I was going to throw up and kept giving me hugs.

It's a day when I'd love to stay home and lay around but we both have doctor's appointments at 2pm.

Congrats to all the week movers today

They are all different around here one advertises for 14 weeks and all the rest advertise for 16 weeks so were not sure which one well go with yet. Probably the 16 weeks just so there is no guessing involved.

They said they couldn't tell gender or at least tell you what they thought they saw when I had my scan at 14 weeks with dd1.

Earliest I've seen it where it's reliable is 16 weeks-that's when I'm going for a gender scan!

 

[Yo_Yo]

Get well soon rbourre sounds a tough day feeling rough and teething lo

 

[Kittycat155]

What are the reviews like for the 14 week one? Seems jsut trying to beat competition. Have read a few early scans(under 16 weeks) saying it was one and few weeks later turns out they were wrong.

Anyone using dopplers? I have a sonoline b from my last pregnancy. It arrived around 9 weeks and I found the HB right away.

I've just cracked it out, and I think I have just found baby on the doppler at 8+2 but it's all very faint!! the doppler keeps on picking up numbers between 137-154 that flash on the screen in one certain area but then disappears again after seconds, i kept fiddling and the numbers don't register on the screen display when i think im finding it but i can hear a really faint, very fast chugging beat in the background behind my own slower heartbeat! For a couple of seconds it did go to around 144 while i could hear it, when it went to its loudest and then fainted back out again.
I'm so sure after hearing my other two on dopplers that this was baby! soooo happy hopefully it'll get clearer over the next week.

thoughts? is this possible or am i clutching at straws/hearing things?
