Thought I'd update, all is well and good, we had privet scan done at the weekend as I had a little fall, baby doing great and mesuring perfectly on track, got tons of pictures and video's I uploaded the best one to You Tube, not sure how to post it here but this is the link if anyone wants to see my little bean https://youtu.be/mVvGPcnxxqw

What a fantastic video to have, so much better just a scan photo. Made me all teary. I still don't have a date for my scan so still patiently waiting for a date!!!

glad to here scans have been going well ladies

grat video diamond i was debating on having one but its a yes now can i guess team blue for you

im sooo needing a scan right now just asked hubby if i can book one for sat


awaiting reply

I'm not sure where your located, but the place I booked, First view imaging was great they are in Hampshire the lady who did my scan was so nice and reassuring, she made me feel great and made a real point of saying lots of things about the baby, she got the serious part out of the way first but then I had a good 10 mins of watching buba playing around. It was well worth £60!

I think I am feeling team blue too, I was thinking pink when we first found out but my cravings and the "look" of baby suggests boy to me, either way I will be delighted!

Hope you get your scan the video was well worth it I've watched it a billion times already! and it was wonderful for my family to see also! xxx

the scan they offer by me is 35 but pic is crap i wont lie and you dont get a photo if i travel 20 mins up the road it is 75 and loads better quality and you get a vid and photo but dh wants to pay less but i dont see the point of going for a crap view lol so im working on him oh and the place for 35 is the place that when i had my mc the sono lady said well at least you can have kids pft

Sorry to hear about the fall hope your ok! What an amazing video!!

Spent the morning at the hospital, got a lovely scan and baby was bouncing all over the place and waving I was moved to high risk but after meeting with the doctor and consultants today I'm really pleased with the decision, as they are bringing me in every 4 weeks to see the consultant and are being really supportive, so far everything is looking perfect with baby! The difference in quality between the photos from the place I was going in the UK versus this Irish hospital is pretty mad but im just glad everything is ok

 

[Mrskg]

Yay shocker so glad everything is going well xxx

Just got home from my us and yay everything is perfect and my fs has now released me to my obgyn.
The lil peanut was moving around a lot kicking out his/her arms and feet.
Actually looked a lot like this

Congrats on the good scan, glad you and baby are both ok! That is the sweetest thing Just perfect! Little hands and arms and legs moving. Amazing!

My little one must look similar to that as we're at the same stage. It's hard to believe time is actually passing and the baby is growing bigger and bigger by the week

Aww I'm sure they are exactly the same, my dating has'nt changed I am still EDD for the 15th Feb, I know allot of other ladies get thrown forward and back, I am glad to have stayed put! I starting to feel I may be team blue, as I am craving all sorts of savory foods, and my mum has told me that me and my sister were a breeze my brother was the one who caused trouble! what are you feeling for yourself?

I have given in and started wearing maternity jeans as the bloat wont sit in regular ones! MIL found out on Saturday to she looked me up and down and asked if we had something to share I think she was a little upset we didnt let her know sooner but understood why when we told her about the previous loss

How are you feeling?

I was measuring a day behind dates, but expected as much. The sizing of 9 + 2 last week puts me exactly on the night we dtd just after mid-cyle. I was happy the baby did not measure a week behind because that was the only time we weren't "careful" and I gave the go ahead when he dsuggested it because it was day 24 in my cycle and it's supposed to be "safe". I guess it was safe because I was already pregnant

I'm feeling team pink. Early on I said team blue, but that was because I really felt the loss I had was a girl and I was terrified I'd lose this one if it was a girl. Then my nails started cracking, my hair dried out, and skin broke out--exactly the opposite of my son. I am feeling thoroughly dreadful physically and feel the little girl is sucking the ever living life out of me, and stealing my beauty so she can come out just stunning. I will be surprised if our mid pregnancy scan says boy.

I took my first long walk since getting pregnant, and sucked up the smell of summer--yard smells, soil, and wet grass. I smiled thinking about the little one growing inside of me. I feel like I waddle already. Belly looks huge, clothes don't fit and maternity pants looks ridiculous on me. Maternity shorts look fine but the jeans are so baggy I feel foolish. I am wearing a larger size jeans that I had packed away last winter when I lost ten pounds. Those don't even button comfortably, so I leave them undone and wear a belly band. My shirts all hug the belly and I look 4 or 5 months (in my mind). All my maternity shirts are MIA since I lent out the clothes to friends a couple times. I shopped for tops, and I found all the selections have that rouched sides (the gathers up both sides that look crinkley) and bands on the bottom so they don't flow at all. Either that or they're very clingy. Basically every shirt really accentuates the belly. Being only 10 1/2 weeks I feel funny having an obvious belly since the baby isn't even 2 inches Crown to rump.
Then again, after carrying 5 kids past term and being 41, I guess I really don't put myself down about it. Going to be hard to hide it from my dad at work, he hasn't seen me in almost 2 weeks and the belly is BAM RIGHT THERE!

Only craving I have is for Sausage pizza. Most meats are gag factor for me, although if I don't think about them or have to cook them I am ok, DH cooks sometimes and I'll eat the meat if I don't have forethought of it

I was stressing about this but I have my doppler and know that there is a tny beating heart in there.

Aww watch away, I watch it daily on my phone and kiss the screen LOL. My OH thinks I've lost the plot! I can't wait to see what he/she is doing at the next scan, booking appointment is tomorrow I'm pretty nervous as it will make it very real! I have no idea what to expect the midwife seemed very polite and cheery on the phone! Good luck for Thursday xx

AFM I have discovered maternity jeans now as everything was getting tight and cutting into me I bought a pair from the New Look yes yes range they are very comfortable! They should make these for non pregnant women too! I saw my neighbour walking up the road she is due in October and she is HUGE starting to think I should really pop round and say hello and congratulate her!

 

[Looloobelle]

Hi Ladies, hope everyone is well. I feel quite heartned by the fact that there's an April group started on pregnancy - makes me feel like we're further on into this pregnancy lark lol!

So glad we have so much positivity here. i am currently clock watching as my doppler arrives today - between 3-4 according to the tracking of my order!! Can't come soon enough - though when I'm going to be able to escape dd to listen is a mystery lol!

 

[AllMacsNow]

Morning, ladies.

Gave my doppler to The Hubs yesterday, and dug it out... it took us forever, but we FINALLY found that tiny little heartbeat. I couldn't believe how LOW it was on my body. I was starting to get disheartened, but OH, that sound.

Scan in the morning, and then released from our FS. Can't wait to see the bub one last time, before who knows how long a break.

I hope everything is well with all of you.

 

[Jessica28]

Mine was found really low too! I was worried for a minute but the doc said it was normal.

 

[flutterbaby]

what do you ladies think ....................I phoned the scan place and the only appointment they have for a evening in aug whist me and dh are not working is my mc's due date im not sure how i feel about that my dh is gonna miss my 12 week scan at hospital as hes working and they are laying off atm so he dont want to push for time off so if i dont take this time it wont be till sept before i can book one for dh to see bean hubby said to book it so i did but now im not sure ill want to be seeing bean on this day then part of me thinks i should go to see what ive got now iykwim what do u think

I would feel odd about it too, I'm certain it's nothing for you to worry about, but it's natural to worry, if it were me I'd try and book a privet scan, and then book your NHS one for September. Although I am certain your outcome this time round will be lovely and everything will be perfect! If your anywhere close to Hampshire there is a really good and reasonably priced company that offer dating/reassurance scans for £60 Xx

that is the private scan the nhs one he will miss because of work just spoke to dh about it and he thinks its a sign that thats the only day in aug and we should look to the future guess he's right but feel like ill be looking at a screen and thinking i should be holding etc im gonna go because its not fair on dh to wait til sept but will be strange im sure all will be fine im keeping the faith im sure the weird feeling will go

 

[AllMacsNow]

I think if you can manage it, it might be GOOD to go on that day... a little positive news on an otherwise sad day.
