I’ve been using bio oil for about a week, I love it
I’m not sure, I think we’re just getting the NT but I’m not sure about the blood test thing either. It depends if they offer it on the day xx

I think they have to offer everyone the combined screening as it’s more accurate then just the NT alone, presumably they do the blood at the same time as the scan, I might hassle the midwife later to find out ha ha, I’ve posted a thread in hope that some ladies who have recently had the 12 week scan can let me know, I hope they do it on the day xx

I have just replied to your thread Haha! When I was at the midwife on Tuesday she said when I go for my 12 week scan they will take my bloods and went through what bloods they take.
Glad you have all mentioned twinges etc I have been exactly the same was panicking a bit. Nausea is still on and off but I still eat (beige)
Counting down to my private scan on Wednesday xxx

 

[Mummymoreton]

Not using bio myself but I inject into my stomach and it's so sore and I am really bruised so not sure I could cope rubbing oil into it xx

Oh I’ve been lying in bed scared stiff sometimes about my twinges MM - or my minge twinge as I call it as that’s where I get the pain sometimes 😂

Oh not long to go now and then you can announce I bet you can’t wait how did it go the other day with telling your mother in law? Xx

 

[Mummymoreton]

Haha or some call it fanny daggers ��
Oh it was fine she was better than I thought to be honest. She made a few jokes and then was quizzing what we were going to do with our lives. But she did give us a hug and congratulate us.
Yes I am on pins to be honest because the kids know and i have told them to try their best not to tell anyone yet. They are desperate to tell everyone xxx

So 10+2 today and i am definitely feeling a few more twinges, pulls and stretches - if anything its actually comforting, its almost like a reassurance that he or she is progressing and setting up home

Is anyone using bio oil or the like? (other brands are also available )

I bought a big bottle which i have already started to use and will continue to do so - no harm in starting early i thought.

hope everyone is feeling ok?x

I’ve been getting quite a few niggles and stretchy type feelings, like quick sharp twinges, I get shooting pains up my bum aswell lol! I hope it’s growing pains!

Funnily enough I was thinking about starting bio oil this week, definitely no harm in starting early

Think my sickness is turning a corner now, only vomited twice yesterday and once today so far and I’m not as repulsed by food anyway although I’m still on the beige diet

11 days until my scan, just wish it was now arghhh!

Has everyone opted for the combined screening? Does anyone know when the blood gets taken for it is it at the same time as the NT scan? Xx

As long as were all feeling the same, that makes me feel more assured

Thats good about the sickness, its the right time for it to be slowing down, i hear you scream thank god

Thankfully since my salivating salads at the weekend, he or she has continued with wanting goodness, although the dry crackers and toast are still quite apparent

I feel i should know what you mean by combined screening ? i got all the paper work, briefly flicked through it and had a read and back in the cupboard it went, so i feel like i will be learning from you girls or as i go along to each scan

The combined screening is using your NT measurement, a measurement of some special type of hcg which the placenta starts to secrete at about 10 weeks and your age, it gives you a risk rating, it’s meant to be more accurate then just using the NT measurement alone

Yeah I think it’s normal for the sickness to start easing off now as the placenta is now kicking in looking forward to eating nice food again hopefully soon! Xx

I'm trying today to not be dragged into the spiral of feeling better, so freaking out that something is wrong. I'm less tired, no sore boobs anymore, less bloated. I feel a lot less pregnant than I did when I got my early scan. I think I'm just anxious because I had food poisoning at the weekend, in case I had a fever or something.

 

[LauraB_83]

Hi everyone, hope everyone is well.
Sorry I have been AWOL over the last few weeks, my nausea had been awful and I have been trying to sort my house move.

Had 12 week scan Tuesday and all ok and nausea seems to be settling yay!

Will try and catch up on the thread tonight x

 

[LauraB_83]

Anyone want a guess? Boy or girl?

 

[night owl]

Yay Laura b congratulations!! Oh I’m terrible at guessing the gender I can’t even work out which body parts are what ha ha xx

Try not to worry too much ash, but you could always go to the doctor and discuss the food poisoning with them if not already done so, how far along are you now? Symptoms can fluctuate massively anyway xx

Absolutely stab in the dark guess, i'm going team pink - girl
