** January Mummies **

[Kitana]

It can depend. Sometimes school picks up on it and tells you, sometimes parents know, a lot of things. With my son I knew from when he was little. I kept going to doctors and they kept dismissing me as a neurotic mother. I kept at them and it wasn’t until he started secondary school at around 10 that it all came a head. I was dealing with him (the correct way it turns out) accommodating his needs with primary school etc but when he went to secondary he couldn’t cope. Was very upset and having anxiety attacks. It’s such a more demanding and independent environment he couldn’t cope. I went to the school and asked for help. They immediately said go to doctors and speak about referring him. I did and got a locum doctor who immediately referred him. He was assessed at different stages over a year and diagnosed at 11. I was congratulated on bringing him up with no support and despite him having Austin he was doing well.

My daughter I just didn’t realise. Girls present differently and again she hit secondary and she really struggled with anxiety and social problems. She was a different child. They often mask their symptoms. They know something is different. See other “normal” children and copy their behaviour.

With assessments a lot of people get together and asses them as they do tasks, work, talk to them. Watch them interact with others. They are monitored at school and parents interviewed. Then the child psychologist, behaviour specialist, mental health teams, gp, and few others meet. Review the evidence and come up with a diagnosis. I can spot a boy with autism from a mile off. Girls not so much. And it wasn’t a rude question. I’ll answer any questions as it widens knowledge. A lot of people don’t know much about it xx

Wow the medical care and tracking is amazing there! I doubt it's as well organized in Belgium. The parents always treat it like a "phase" or she will snap out of it or something like that. I told the OH in the beginning of our relationship that she sometimes acted weird and we got into a huge argument because he told me I was seeing things. A few weeks ago (4 years later), he told me himself he thought something was off about her. Didn't want to say I told you so, but I did tell him that I did suspect it earlier and that he didn't believe me. I hope the parents realise it sooner than later...

I had some good news today! The baby is okay and still dancing around happily! The first few seconds were nerve wracking because the baby wasn't moving and I didn't see a heartbeat. But then it jumped and started moving around! I was so relieved!
The gynaecologist didn't really want to make a guess but told us there was not a lot between the legs, which might confirm it being a girl!
I've had the NIPT done and will impatiently await the results. They will be online this week or beginning of the next one! So exciting!x

So sorry you're feeling so bad @JaccsX, you can stick around the January mummies if you want! Who knows, you might still go over your due date and still become a January mum!x

I'm still here, I haven't really had much to say because I've just had the usual symptoms. I had really bad nausea from 4-8 weeks... right on 8 weeks it stopped then on and off for a few days before completely going. Just reassuring to read through the comments and know how different each pregnancy is. I got my scan date today, it's 22nd July. I can't wait to know that everything is OK and I'm not just dreaming that I'm pregnant. I havent had a period for 2 months and done hundreds of tests but I still won't believe it until I see the baby! I hope all your future/past first scans go/went well!

It is. Takes a while but they get there in the end. It’s often easier to notice it looking in. It may eventually come to light and they’ll realise if she struggles, it’s often hard to accept for a family. X

Wonderful scan pics xx

 

[Kitana]

Hope you feel better soon @NicoMaria !
22nd isn't too dar off anymore! Have you told people aboit your pregnancy yet?x

So exciting @JemmaH2019! Let us know how it went! They can make a guess about the gender but it's still very premature! Will you be having the NIPT done?x

Hey ladies. Have any of you experienced this? I went for an early scan on thursday the 4th i thought i was 10w3d according to my doctor. According to the scan the sac is measuring 7w. There was no embryo or yolk sac seen on it. The lady doing the scan told me im either earlier than i think or had a missed miscarraige. She did an vaginal scan. No pain or bleeding so far. Scheduled in for a repeat scan on Saturday but I'm worried sick. Could it be that it's just too early? When I went to the doctor their test was very faint. Clear blue came up 1-2 weeks. Judging by the measurements on the scan I would of only been 5 days preg when I did the clear blue. Has this happened to anyone before, is it possible we will see the baby on Saturday?

What beautiful pictures and so glad all is well. I can imagine the first few moments were nerve wracking.

Right now I'm sitting here and feeling sick because I am such a bag of nerves.
I know I have no reason to believe anything is wrong but I can't turn my head off. Roll on the appointment.

I'm so sorry to hear this, even at 7 weeks you should've seen a little wiggly bean and the yolk sac. Plus being dated back 3 weeks is a lot. I say, prepare yourself for the worst. I know it's not what you want to read but to me it sounds like a blighted ovum ( I had that with my last mc) fingers crossed I'm wrong and you'll see a bouncy baby on saturday

 

[vampysgirl]

Scan went well. All looks positive and baby was bouncing around like crazy in there.
I can't describe how happy I am right now.
Sonographer offered to guess the sex and he said it looks very blue. Shouldn't take his word though and wait for the next scan to be more certain. I honestly don't care aslong it is healthy.

Hey. I’m sorry but it doesn’t sound good. My last pregnancy I had a scan at what should have been 7 weeks but I was only showing at 5 weeks and nothing in the sac. My hcg levels were high so should have been something there. They repeated my hcg and they were only creeping up. Have they tested your hcg levels? You won’t really know till see the scan on Saturday. But at 7 weeks you should have been able to see something. I agree with vampysgirl that it sounds like a blighted ovum. I hope i’m wrong xx

 

[NicoMaria]

I stopped feeling sick around 8 weeks and I'm 10 weeks and 5 days today and feeling good now thank you.

We told immediate family (parents, siblings and their partners) between 4 and 5 weeks because we were too excited. Lol. We told a couple we are friends with a few days ago because they guessed anyway. And two female colleagues at work know just so someone had my back when I was feeling exhausted and nauseus. Apart from that we're waiting for the scan to tell everyone else. How far along are you? Have you told anyone yet? x

Lovely scan pics! It's great to see them so clearly already! I think I see part of the nub and it's pointing upwards so I think it's a boy too!x

Good to know you're feeling better!
I have told my closest girlfriends and my parents. I would not have been able to keep it a secret for them anyways, as my mother would ask me every few weeks how I was after the missed miscarriage. I'm also showing much earlier than with my first! I had sent her a bouquet of flowers for mother's day from the OH, me, DD and ???
She called within seconds of receiving it! Lol
