Thank you guys for all the support! I've been doing photography for almost 6 years part time. Ive never had a job that allowed me to book appointments on the weekend until this job. But they def aren't supporting Dr appointments. And things. It def add to the stress. Now I wait till the 5th... No one knows I'm going to be leaving, so it will be strange. I'm fine with extra time on my hands!

Thank you for the advice! And reassurance n

Fitmama and Poppiebug

I am so sorry that you are losing your little ones.

 

[mickels]

morning gals!

Went for my first ultrasound yesterday, baby measured at 5w5d, no heartbeat yet, but it was amazing to see a little human growing inside of me. I'm healthy, bub looks good so I'm happy

Thanks lovely mickels
Are most of you guys in America? I hear a lot of you getting early scans but here we only get them if we’re bleeding, it sucks

I’m in the UK. I have a scan tomorrow at 7+2 but that’s only because I’ve had recurring spotting x

 

[elliecain]

I’m in the UK. I get early scans because I did IVF. Even though this baby was natural conception, my clinic offered me 2 early scans because we had started the ivf process with them.
The scan I had on Monday was through the EPU because of my bleeding. They are doing a follow up one in 2 weeks.
By the time I get to the 12 week scan, I’ll have had 4 already!

No more bleeding, which is a relief. I had heavy gushes on Friday night, red bleeding on and off throughout Saturday, brown clots on Sunday and Monday and brown spotting Tuesday and a tiny bit today. I’m hoping that taking it easy means my SCH isn’t still growing. Next scan on Friday. I just pray for a heartbeat and for the baby to have continued growing.

Im in uk. I had an early private scan due to a lot of cramping. Everything looked alright except baby was measuring 6 weeks when I thought i was 8. So thats made me a bit worried as we only dtd twice that month so couldnt work out how i could be 6. The sonographer didnt seem concerned though.
I’m waiting it out til 12 week scan now, havent had the letter yet with a date so im getting impatient! X

 

[amytrisha]

I think I’ll be sent for one to date once I see my midwife, but EPU here will only scan if your bleeding or have ectopic symptoms so makes sense for you guys
I think scans are a lot earlier in America aren’t they, I wish it was the same here it’d be much more reassuring!

Fingers crossed for your scans guys and I hope you get your date through soon LilGem

[BeachBaby655]

Mickels that’s great news!

I am in the US but still won’t have a scan until I am 7 weeks as the drs in my area are all super booked! One office just didn’t even call me back! My normal OBGYN doesn’t handle pregnancy which I find odd but it’s only her at her practice so I guess it makes sense.

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

I'm in Canada, normally there are scans around 8-12 weeks and then the anatomy scan around 20 weeks and that would be it. I had a scan because of spotting and my history.

Mickels and Ellie, great news for both of you!

good luck with your scans, amytrisha and cookie!

 

[Jules8]

Mickels- Glad to hear your scan went well.

Ellie- Hopefully the spotting is gone for good now!

I have a scan tomorrow at 6+2. I took fertility medication to get pregnant both times so I'm not sure if it's due to that or just normal practice where I am.

 

[mrscletus]

So I was away for a bit- I hate coming back to see some ladies are leaving us.
to poppy and fitmama- may your precious rainbows find you soon.

I had my first midwife apt on Monday and we opted to get all the genetic testing done. I should be able to get the results tomorrow online. They used the panorama collection kit. We opted out of testing for gender though... I am so happy that DH is on board with the gender remaining a secret. Still feeling off and on tired and nauseous, but nothing crazy. I will be happy to get past 10/11 weeks.

How is everyone doing today?

And I decided that I think I needed a different ticker... this one is "cravings" so I am guessing we will get to see how big pumpkin is compared to all things that are unhealthy and delicious!!

 

[waiting2c]

Hey all - I am in New Zealand - miles away from you all lol. Here we get a scan only if a dr has given a referral which they only do early for a reason. No option for private scans here, need midwife to give me a form for 12 week scan which I have booked for February 20th - so far away!!

 

[waiting2c]

Best of luck to all of you having scans in next couple of days, look forward to reading how it went!!

I can't stop eating

At this rate someone at work is going to notice... I graze almost all day! I've been trying to keep to healthy stuff but I feel a bit ridiculous. Yesterday at lunch was the worst so far, someone had something that smelled like fantastic fajitas, then not 15 minutes later someone else walked by with gooey, cheesy pizza and then a few minutes later someone else had a delicious smelling curry! I wanted to eat them all. I ate celery.

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

oh yea... then in the afternoon we had a little celebration and there were cupcakes! Those were hard to resist but I know I would have felt gross after

I am exactly the same I’m like the hungry caterpillar at the minute!
I stepped on the scales earlier and I’ve only gained 3lbs, I’m amazed as I feel at least a stone heavier x

I'm in the us and having a scan at 7 weeks, I think here it's pretty normal?

Hi ladies! Hope I can join you!

My name is Brittany and I live in Denver, CO, USA. I work as a freelance artist and I also have recently started working as a birth doula. I found out I was pregnant on Jan 17, I had a miscarriage December 18 so it was a nice surprise to find out I was pregnant again so quickly after. My first scan is Feb 5th

So, today I am 6w1d and this is my husband and I's second child. I have a son, Desmond, who is going to be 2 in April. We're really hoping for a girl this time!
