Lucky ladies with more scans! I won’t see baby again until 20 weeks (unless we do the private gender scan @ around 16 weeks).

We didn’t do NT testing with our son and won’t with this baby either. We’d keep the LO either way and I’ve known people to get abnormal results that they freaked out about only to have everything be fine. But that’s just me, lol. I’m too much of a worry wart :p I am jealous that you all get to see baby again soon!
 
I'm a lucky one. April 2nd is our next scan and it's my 5th one for the first trimester. My OB fully understands what we've done to get here and helps me out with extra scans until we get a little further into this pregnancy.

We heard LOs heart again on the Doppler tonight. Little bugger must have been napping because I had it for a solid 3 minutes. We even got to record it. We tell my sister and brother in law tomorrow by gifting my 2 year old niece a shirt that says "cousins make the best friends!".

I think we will do the NT testing. Not to make a decision about how to continue the pregnancy but to be as educated about any disabilities we may face. As a sister of an older brother with Down Syndrome we would never terminate over life-compatible disabilities but I am also not an expert in all of them, so I would want to be as informed as possible. :)

Had my scan today and baby is measuring beautifully. They were a little stubborn but we got all the measurements in the end.

I really hope so shorty88! And yes we will definitely be finding out, just a few more weeks until then.

Also can’t wait to hear all about your scan, not long now til Friday!

We feel this way too but I try to think of it as another chance to see baby so they don’t tell me any information from the scan we just look at baby!!

Edit to say.. after they do the blood work plus scan and gather all of their info if something really stuck out to them of course I’d want to know so we could educate ourselves but It wouldn’t change anything!
 
So excited for all of the scans!! Such a big week for us! Mine is on Friday first thing in the morning thankfully! I’m super excited! I’m hoping to get our favorite tech again! She scanned me at this point with my son and made a guess at gender and did a potty shot for us! She’s super sweet! The other two techs are nice but don’t really go the extra mile usually! We are staying team yellow but I’d still think it would be fun to peek and see if we could figure things out ourselves! Dh doesn’t care to know or look at all but I would totally take a peek! I wouldn’t feel too confident in knowing what I saw anyway so I don’t feel like it would ruin being team yellow! Also because I’d never say anything to anyone else anyway and I think that’s most of the fun is having everyone else on edge waiting to hear if it’s a boy or girl after I’ve given birth!

I believe I’m feeling more and more movements! It’s still when something has pressure on my belly.. like seatbelt, pants, if I’m laying kind of on my belly.. things like that! I’m reallly trying to enjoy this pregnancy because it’s indeed my last! Which is also crazy to think this chapter of my life is ending so soon! Newborn stage is my absolute favorite!

We got out all of dd clothes from the storage bin and I’m so ready to start digging in there <3 I love baby girl stuff soooooooo much!

Ps I’ll get my 12 week bump photo here in a little bit!
 
I’m also wondering if I can feel movement too! Although this is my second so I’m not sure if I’m making it up or not lol.

I’m not sure what to do regarding my bleeding. It’s been 2 weeks since my heavy bleed and I’ve been on off bleeding fresh blood to brown blood... I rang the epu at the weekend and she made me feel stupid for ringing and said if I am not filling a pad then don’t worry... grrrr. I’d really like some reassurance tbh but I guess they are going to make me wait until my dating scan next Monday. X
 
Hi ladies I’m feeling supper anxious about my dating scan esp because they do all the screening and bloods to check for chromazonal adnormatitys. ESP being 39 years old. I just can’t get excited for the scan because I feel so afraid that something will be wrong or the baby’s Heart has stopped beating. My Doppler still hasn’t arrived and won’t untill next week and my anxiety is bad.

Sadly I have to wait till I’m 13 weeks for the dating scan so another 2 weeks to go yet:(

I do have a scan on Monday but that’s at a different hospital and it’s only a abdominal scan of my liver and kidneys and I’m not sure if they will check baby as well but I’m hoping they do. I will defenitly be asking and they only have to move the probe a little to see baby. So hopefully I will get a nice scan tech that will be happy to check baby. I’m going to explain to them how anxious i am as well so hopefully that will give them the push to just have a look at baby.

Still can’t work out if I can feel movements or if it’s just gas. It always happens at night when I’m on the sofa relaxing watching tv. Last night it felt like little rolls but I still can’t be sure if it’s baby or not. I really hope it is and I get to feel it more and more,

Cangrats on all ure scans ladies. The 9th of April can’t come quick enough for me. Hoping the next 2 weeks fly. Reallly wish I was having my dating scan at 12 weeks it’s so crap i have to wait untill 13 weeks.

Please keep it all crossed ladies that they agree to have a look at baby on Monday. I’ll be 11+6 going by the measurements of my Last scan.
 
@brittany12
I had pre eclampsia with my last pregnancy it started around 30 weeks. I also had that pregnancy liver thing (Intrahepatic Cholestasis) so I was induced at 35+4. I will be at high risk for that again with this pregnancy so even tho I’m not due till October it will be more likely I I’ll be induced or offered a c section in September. I’m not gonna lie because as you know pre eclampsia is not nice it made really unwell and that liver thing was awful the itching is intense. I really wanna make it to 36 37 weeks this time. Hopefully no earler
 
Yes it’s definitely good to be prepared for any developmental difficulties! Aw I hope those of you hoping to get a peek at gender get a good look :p

LNWXO - that’s super stressful. When I had bleeding in my last pregnancy I put myself on modified bed rest and that helped a ton. I had a sensitive cervix that would bleed whenever I over exerted myself. Don’t know if that’s a possibility for you but maybe you can try relaxing over the weekend and see if that helps the bleeding! I can’t remember if you have a Doppler? Anyhow it’s too bad they won’t give you a reassurance scan. Hopefully the spotting eases up soon!!

Sugger I’m sure your baby will be fine :) I had a friend who had 3 little ones in her early 40s and they were all healthy kids.

So exciting for everyone feeling movement!! I can’t wait :p

AFM, I brought my Doppler on our trip in case I got worried at all. I’ve been so good and haven’t checked in almost a week, but thought I’d have a listen this morning. Found baby immediately and above the pubic bone even though I had just peed. It’s always exciting to hear the heartbeat but I got such a good listen this morning, baby was staying in one spot and it was super clear. Can’t believe this pregnancy is almost a quarter way done!

Awwwww thank you sweety and that’s so cool u found the HB rite away. The Doppler I brought can apparently pick up babies HB from 8 weeks. I’ll be around 12 weeks when mine finally gets here so hopefully I won’t find it hard to find. I’ve brought one that tells you how many beats per minute so that shud be interesting. The Gel has arived just waiting on the Doppler now. Hurry up hahaha :coffee:
 
Urghhh ladies I'm coming down with something.
Felt really chesty last night i have asthma so just took my inhalers and eventually managed to get to sleep.

But all day today I've just felt off. My head and neck have been hurting and my throat feels weird I also feel extremely exhausted. I just took my temp because I feel so cold and I've got a temp of 38.4c 101f urghhhh. My chest is still feeling a little tight. I'm going to take some paracetamol and try and get some sleep. Just hoping it's a cold or something.
