Hi teachermummy, then last time it happened like this was around the 8 week mark and I had spotting right after I found out I was pregnant. I was only 12 weeks yesterday this started on Thursday. It might be worth me mentioning it my scan isn't until 9th October feels like a lifetime away with all this going on. So are you experiencing this currently in this pregnancy? Xxx

Got my 12 week scan in the morning, I should be either 11+6 or 12 weeks exactly, I’m so so nervous, don’t know how I’m going to get any sleep tonight! Im praying everything goes well with it

On another note I still feel dreadful with this sickness urgh wish it would just go away now xx

Yes I am consultant led anyway but they were actually really vague about it all yesterday. Not sure what they knew to do with me. It was a case of things are fine for now but if it changes go to a&e. Not out of the woods yet xxx

Thank god baby is ok just rest up and lets hope everything eases

We got our combined screening test results back today from when we had the 12 week scan, and the baby has a low risk of Downs Syndrome and Edwards’/ Patau’s syndromes, only a 1 in 50, 000 chance of having either! so we’re dead chuffed! Obviously we would love our baby no matter what, but reassurance that they’re likely to be healthy is always a relief We got the results through the post within 4 days too so that was quite speedy x

This was the one thing my partner was worried about as well - so was relieved when they did the fluid on the back of the neck and all was normal, and then the oh says 'thats one relief, but I won't relax until the blood tests results come back' yeah thanks for sharing that, its not like I need the added pressure or anything He means well I know, but sometimes men need to learn to keep they anxieties to themselves!

Hoping we get our results as quick as you did, just to put our mind at ease as well

Aaaaah night owl so excited for you!!! I am sure everything is great. You have been plagued with your sickness haven't you. Mine seems to have gone now. And my boobies aren't sore anymore. I can't help but think something is wrong all the time. It's going to be a long wait till the 9th for me.
Update us when you can on your lovely scan xxxx

 

[night owl]

Hi Ladies

Sorry I've been AWOL for a few weeks.. I was signed off work for 2 weeks with severe morning sickness and was just feeling so crappy! I'm feeling a lot better now though, back at work today and have only been sick once so far..

I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and still haven't had my booking appointment! It's booked in for this Saturday, but I'll be 12+4 by then so that's really late isn't it?? And I haven't had a scan date through yet! I called the women's unit at the hospital this morning but they don't have anything down under my name so I can only imagine that my scan hasn't even been booked in yet!! I'm so annoyed because I filled in the midwife form at the doctors when I was 7 weeks, and started chasing at 10 weeks because I hadn't heard anything.. has this happened to anyone else?

How exciting to see all your lovely 12 week scans!! I'm so pleased we paid for an early scan at 7 weeks or I'd be going out of my mind by now!!

We also have a private scan booked for 16 weeks to find out what we're having, as my hubby just can't wait to find out!! haha

Aww amazing night owl! So pleased for you!!! And so glad everything ok. I am sure a massive relief for you xxx

Glad to hear you are feeling ok again

Oh wow thats really terrible - some places are so disorganised and it takes for us to chase them continually for anything to get done

thank god for private scans

 

[Mummymoreton]

Can't believe you haven't had booking in appt yet or your scan appt MrsGarner!!! I agree thank God for private scans I couldn't have coped without them I have had 3 so far. My 12 week scan is next Tuesday. I was 12 weeks on Saturday just gone according to my private scans. I don't think the hospitals can keep up with all us pregnant women. Definitely keep on their case xxx

 

[MrsGarner]

I know, it’s so frustrating!! Although MM it’s comforting to know that you’ll be over 13 weeks when you have your scan! I’m phoning the midwife this evening anyway as she put down Saturday 7th October on the letter for my booking apt (Sat is the 6th!!) so I need to confirm whether it’s Sat or Sun, so I’m also going to say I’m a bit concerned I haven’t had a date for my scan yet. Fingers crossed xx

Oh wow they cant even get the date right

Definitely get on to them and ask for your scan date. I got my booking appointment and scan date in one phone call (i also had to chase) so maybe you can get that out of her on the phone.x

Well I finally had my booking appointment today! I'm 12 weeks tomorrow! I had the same panic about not having a scan appointment Mrs Garner, but it's the booking appointment which triggers it so I should hear from them in the next few days.

 

[JomoMama]

14 weeks today! 😁 Wahoo!! Finally feel like I can eat normal food again! Yay!
When’s everyone’s next lot of scans?
Hope you’re all well

My next scan isnt until the 22nd November - its that far away, i am not even thinking about it. Just as long as my bump gets bigger i am happy waiting

Its all the midwife appointments in between scans that are annoying me - yes it means i get time off work, but are they all REALLY that necessary obviously i am grateful we are obviously getting the care attention others might not get, but i just think its a bit excessive - or is that just me? Altogether i have 12 appointments - is that the case for the first time mums on here?x
