**** july mummies 2018 *****

Do you get to hear the heartbeat at the 12 week scan? X

It wasn't even recorded at mine today, let alone hearing it. She did check it visually a few times, when she got the chance, lol.

She basically started out b asking about the downs/Edwards/Patau testing and I said to just go ahead as being there, I just thought, well, it's my only chance, so if I change my mind, I'll regret it. So, she waited to get a good enough pic for body measurement. Checked it a few times and recorded that. Then she did the Nuchal Fold test and measured that from a few different angles, all the same measurement. Then she did an anatomy check, which she said will be more detailed at the 20 week scan, but she likes to do it anyway, so she took stills of both arms and both legs and said everything was looking great. Then she got a really good close up of the head and for about 3 seconds on screen, we could see the profile of the face like it was almost in 3D. It genuinely shocked all of us. I said, "oh wow, look at that perfect little nose" and she said, "In 25 years I've never seen such a clear view of such a perfect little nose". I just laughed and said there's no wa it got daddy's massive honker then, lol. Then baby turned its back on us AGAIN before she could get a picture of it. We could see lips and chin really well too. Like looking at our little baby's face and it made everything oh so very real again. Like, we have an interactive little human in there now, not just a bean. If I poked, it wriggled :)

Yes, I'll probably be middle of June for actual C-section.
 
Great pic GG!

Is that your first scan or have you previously had a private one too?

Mines tomorrow and I'm so scared!!

I had a private reassurance scan at 7 weeks for my birthday as I was so paranoid after 3 losses in a row. Then had a scan at 10 weeks that was part of a recurrent miscarriage referral. This was my first standard NHS scan. Next one is in 7 weeks and I think now that I might be able to relax a little and stop worrying all of the time. Please don't be scared, I have no doubt it will be absolutely fine xxx

Happy 12 weeks JR. xxx

Someone asked how I had been feeling and honestly, not too bad. Appetite is back in full swing. Still a bit iffy about what I'm able to drink. Round ligament pains get me almost every night now no matter how slowly I try to turn in bed. My back is manageable at the moment and I start physio for that soon. Got my first consultant appointment on 18th Jan to discuss how we manage it through the pregnancy and when exactly to have the baby.

That said, I could easily sleep 8 hours a night, with three 2 hour naps a day and still feel tired, lol

We would have had to pay cash for our pictures today if we hadn't waited so long. Bless her. She said that regardless of my cock up, she had run behind all morning anyway, in fact, me not being there helped her catch up a little and not be as late as she thought she would. She said all mums were getting freebies today.
 
Well there is nothing better than a freebie lol! Luckily we don't have to pay here in Aberdeen x
 
Told my manager today. His reaction was nice and funny actually. He really looked surprised and went 'oh haha'. He congratulated me and said it was great news but I could tell he was thinking 'oh shit' hahaha :D
 
LMAO khtw.
You have to pay here, £5 each or 3 for £10. Early scan pics are free though, I've had 4 and not paid. Will have to pay for the rest now.

Sarah, it could be different in different areas, but I thought as long as you can see the heart beating you don't need the sound. Which is why they use the Doppler at the 16 week appointment cos there's no scan. :) x
 
We only get one picture now regardless. Used to be £1 per photo. I'm fine with that though since I'm going to get a 13 week scan pic as well as 11 week. Plus going to take a 4d scan in April so I'll get loads then. But with dd we bought loads lol

We heard the heartbeat this time but didn't with dd? Same hospital too

Glad it was positive at least lol xx
 
Well thought I'd update everyone on my family drama, swear it never stops!
So my dad posted his scan pic on Facebook today - still hasn't told me. I blocked him, massive argument between him and my mum, he blamed it all on me bla bla bla. Typical asshole.
You might remember my sister is a week behind me, well boxing day news my brother told me he's also got his girlfriend pregnant due beginning October. Ahhh can't keep up with it!!
 
Think pictures are free at my hospital with a donation request. Hope we do get to hear heartbeat :)
 
morning ladies

at my hospital you get photos for free and get plenty of them. last pregnancy I got 6 this time four. I learned during my last pregnancy that I'm lucky to get this as most seem to charge these days so I crocheted a few hats for the maternity ward as my way of a donation as I did feel really lucky

Jemrose wow your baby is going to have lots of cousins to play with. I know you've been feeling a bit sidelined about the other pregnancies butiit'll be great for the kids. as for your dad, just keep him blocked and don't think about him for a while. did he notice you'd blocked him straight away?
 
Jem I second what Shep said, forget your dad he is not worth your attention! And yeah your little one will have cousins same age to play with and it is an amazing thing! Who knows maybe having kids together will bring you and your siblings closer x
 
Sarah good luck with your scan today! Can't wait to see the pics x
