Hello ya'll I'm due 09/25 My first Scam is Thursday and will get exact estimates then but as of now going by my last period it is 9/25.

Jealous of all the ladies getting scans already! I'd had a scan and 2 midwife appointments by this point last time as my dates were so far out (I was 6+weeks not 13!) so it's strange for me that I've actually only just been referred to the midwives as of yesterday! I don't even have a scan date yet! Should only have up to a fortnight to wait to get the letter and my notes though and then another week or 2 until my appointments so not too much more waiting left to go now!!

Is it weird that one of the things I'm most looking forward to this pregnancy is taking my daughter to antenatal appointments? It'll be the same midwifery team that I'm seeing and they haven't seen Tanwen since she was tiny (up to 10 days old and on the day she was born for one of my favourite community midwives!) so I'm quite excited to show her off to them as well as do everything necessary for this pregnancy as she's so big now!

Beca :wave:

I go for my first midwife appointment on Thursday.. Can anyone tell me.. Do they do blood tests at this first meeting and what else do they do? Thanks xxx

 

[EstelSeren]

They do bloods, weigh and measure you, take your blood pressure, check urine and go through your notes with you (filling them out in some areas) and give you advice and information about pregnancy and what you can expect, etc. You may be given a print-out with a list of when you can expect to have appointments and what you can expect from them, which was very helpful indeed in my 1st pregnancy! It's just routine stuff and not nearly as exciting as you build it up in your head to be!

Had to go to EPU this morning because of severe pain. Had a scan, all ok not eptopic. Saw baby and yolk sac and heart flickering away.

Off work for the rest of the week with bed rest as very pale and exhausted.

Wonderful news! Were they able to determine what was causing the severe pain? Hope you feel better soon!

Just put it down to cramping and stretching - nothing untoward on ultrasound.

Hello ladies, I was curious if anyone else was experiencing this. For the past week I've been blowing my nose and tiny blood clots are coming out. Not enough to give me a nose bleed but enough to make me notice. I have my first scan today so I plan to bring it up to my specialist, but I didn't know if anyone else could relate?

It can happen if you blow too hard or if the air is really dry where you are. I get it all the time in the winter.

I've had the same thing! Another thing that I've noticed, which is really irritating is that I wake up various times in the middle of the night with incredible dry mouth like I have never experienced. It feels like I'll die if I don't drink water immediately. Does anyone else have this?

With my son I sucked up for a scan at 9 weeks to see the baby, and then one at 20 weeks and i paid for a 3d at 28.

These ones will be a bit different as we're hoping it's twins and since we did IVF the Fertility doc has u/s s at 6,8 and 10 before releasing me to my OB.

 

[maybebaby3]

Grr I don't know why she had to be arsey! That's horrid glad all is ok with your baby tho!

Does anyone know if a heart beat of 141 good or bad for 7 weeks and 3 days?

 

[Phantom710]

My LOs was always right around there

 

[kaili]

Does anyone know if a heart beat of 141 good or bad for 7 weeks and 3 days?

At about 5 weeks gestation, your baby's heart begins to beat. At this point, a normal fetal heart rate is about the same heart rate as the mother's: about 80-85 beats per minute (BPM). From this point, it will increase its rate about 3 beats per minute per day during that first month.

By the beginning of the 9th week of pregnancy, the normal fetal heart rate is an average of 175 BPM. At this point it begins a rapid deceleration to the normal fetal heart rate for the middle of the pregnancy of about 120-180 BPM. There is also a slowing of the normal fetal heart rate in the last ten weeks of pregnancy, though the normal fetal heart rate is still about twice the normal adult's resting heart rate.

Seems at 7ish weeks you are right around normal

 

[maybebaby3]

Dr didn't tell me heart rate yesterday

With my DD I had an ultrasound at 12 weeks to get a look at her size and then another at 20 weeks for official measurements. Her aunt gave me a 3D session at a private place for a baby gift so we could get gender verification around 28 weeks or so. Then my blood pressure started rising and my fluid levels decreasing so at 32 weeks I needed weekly ultrasounds to monitor that closely as well as weekly non-stress tests.

OMG YES! My mouth is so dry that it sticks together! I have a cold right now so I can't breathe through my nose.
