Hi ladies

As some of you may know, I had some spotting over Easter. I was booked in for an emergency scan today to check on baby.

Scan showed one healthy baby measuring 33mm and 2 days ahead of my dates. This puts me as due 22 November 2011 which makes me 10w 1d today. The sonographer couldn't see anything in-utero re spotting so they're putting it down as one of those things. I felt so relieved that I burst into tears on the table! The sonographer was lovely. She held my hand and was really sweet.

Baby is very much a wriggle-bottom. It just wouldn't keep still and, thankfully, is very, very active. We got to see little arms and feet, lots of heart-beating action and the umbilical cord.

Here are the pics:

Apologies for the quality. They're a photograph of the original scan photo taken with my iphone.

Thanks for your support ladies.

Yay!!! So happy for you! So, do you still get to see the baby again in 2 weeks when you're 12 weeks - did you already have a scan set up for then? If you do, it will be neat to see the growth in the next two weeks.

 

[hippylittlej]

Great news Fides and Pip so happy for you both.

Hi Fides

I haven't got a date for my 12 week scan yet, but I'll definitely be having one. Really looking forward to it as some of the 12 week scans I've seen on here have been fantastic.

It could be easy to get addicted to fortnightly scans!

Yey fides and pip !! It's nice to hear good news for once xxx

 

[Rebaby]

fides, that must be a great feeling

and congratulations pip i'm so pleased your scan went well and the spotting wasn't sinister.

Everything seems to be going ok here. I am getting a teensy bit of my energy back so able to stay up past 7pm now (just! ) and i have lost a lot of my bloat so my 'bump' actually seems smaller this week compared to last week but i think that's because all the gas has gone

I still have my anxious days. I think because i have been able to feel flutters since quite early on, if a couple of days go by where i don't feel anything i start to panic, and then have to remind myself that i am only 14+6 afterall, and that i didn't feel any flutters with our son until i was gone 18 weeks! So i have to tell myself to calm down and that soon our little one will be punching and kicking me night and day!

5 weeks until our anomaly scan

I had my dating scan yesterday. It was amazing! Baby was stretching and kicking and bouncing around. Such a character!
Now just gotta wait 7 weeks til I can see him/her again

Fantastic news!

 

[fides]

rebaby, so amazing you're feeling flutters - how neat!

shelleney, congrats on a wonderful scan!!

Congrats on all of the lovely scans ladies.

I had my 10 wk midwife appointment today and she was able to find baby's heartbeat with the doppler. It was such a great sound. I don't get an u/s until 20 weeks, though. It feels so far away!!!!!

 

[fides]

Allie, huge congrats on hearing the HB - that is wonderful!!

 

[Aquarius24]

Great news on the scan shelleney! And allie its such a nice feeling when u first hear the hb!!

Hope you ladies are growing nicely. My bump is getting quite big now and I am feeling baby move more and more. Can't believe I am 18 weeks tomorrow and have 20 week in 2 weeks!! Xx

 

[fides]

Love that you guys can feel the baby - must be wonderful!!


afm, i'm doing okay - yesterday was my due date for #1, and DH broke down last night, but I'm actually taking it better than him, lol. Guess i'm just distracted by how this pregnancy is going...

 

[pip7890]

Due dates and anniversaries can be so difficult. Even now my body seems to know when the anniversary of my first miscarriage is coming (it happened over 15 years ago) and I get so tired and depressed.

I don't think there is an easy way to get through it. You just have to I guess.

[fides]
