**May Mummies**

[Countrylife]

I’m thinking a girl just because I’ve had quite a bit of sickness and I know that can be an indication of a girl. Chinese predictor says it’s a boy though so who knows!

Only 18 days to our 12 week scan so I’m hoping a bit more guessing when I see that!

The Chinese calendar says girl for me! Be interesting to see if it's right I'll be happy either way but I've been having vivid dreams of girls, although I thought my daughter was a boy and when I found out she was a girl I cried lol only because I'd set myself up mentally having a boy. Im not quite mentally prepared if I'm having two boys as I have very little experience with boys, all my friends have girls too.
My mum couldn't help herself and has been shopping early too.. makes me really anxious but they're quite funny/cute...

My biggest dread is upsizing my car! I've got a tiny car currently and theres no way I'll fit 2 adults 3 children and a pram etc
The countdown is on for my 12 week scan now! 12 days to go my daughter caitlin has written it on the calendar in big bold letters. My due date is def in april but they're telling me I could have them in march. Slight panic how fast time is going! I don't want to change groups though, you ladies are lovely xx

My midwife thought my due date was 28th April, but no matter how many times you tell them you don’t have a 28 day cycle they calculate it on that ‍ I’m 32 days so that puts me at the 2nd May so hopefully my scan will confirm.

12 days! So exciting! Mine is 18 days away

I know what you mean about cars, we have a car and a van but my dh finishes work at lunchtime so he will be doing the pick ups from day care when I got back to work so now we need a second car as you can’t really put a baby seat in a van!

Had a little freak out yesterday afternoon, I received a letter from the hospital saying I’ve got an appointment with a doctor 2 weeks after my 12 week scan but it doesn’t say why and the midwife didn’t tell me about it, checked with my friends who are pregnant and they said it’s not a standard appointment so I was panicking there is something that has shown up in my bloods that I gave last week in my booking appointment? My friend thought maybe I’m going to be consultant lead because of my history but I’ll guess I’ll just have to wait and see, if it was anything wrong with baby I’m sure they’d get me in faster though?

Not really sure sorry, I've always been consultant lead so its standard for me.
Can you phone up today and find out?

I have an appointment with obstetrician after my blood and 12 week scan to talk about any results that come up from the down syndrome scan or all going well a general check up.
I'm quite clueless when it comes to all of this as everything seems to have changed over 10 years, myidwife said to get some questions together for the obstetrician but I have no idea what to ask?

 

[SugaryIris]

Yeh I’ve text my midwife to see if she knows and if she doesn’t I’ll call the number and see if they can tell me.

I don’t know how they can send you an appointment and not call or write to say what it is!

 

[Charlotte9]

Wow so many of you have already 12 weeks scan booked in. I haven't even met midwife yet. My appointment is next Wednesday.

 

[TTC no2]

I havent heard from hospital yet at all thank god I've my private scan next week. We dont get booked in until we have our 12 week scan here. . If I dont hear from hospital soon I will be ringing my GP make sure she sent the referral.

Hey, thread jumping here.
I had the same happen to me, turned out it was just ante natal clinic as I'm consultant let and high risk due to my age bla bla bla.
It was nothing serious and all they've done was discuss my fragmin i have to take and booked a new appointment for around 28 weeks.
My guess is, that's what your letter was for so absolutely nothing to worry about.
Generally if there is something showing up in your blood work, they will ring you up and have an appointment straight away. Xx

I havent even had my booking appt with a general midwife, before I then get referred to my midwife haha. Booked up a month ago and the first available was ages away. Only a week to go!
Approaching 8weeks, so probs going to be a delay the whole process.

 

[SugaryIris]

spoken to the midwife, I’ll be consultant led due to miscarriages.

I’m the same, went out and bought loads of decaf tea and coffee when I found out I was pregnant and then a week later I couldn’t stand the idea of drinking it.

I didnt deal wiv it v well last pregnancy.. dont know how to this one. As i crave sweets/bad chocolate lollies. Ok biscuits n tea aint great either but after miscarriage i decided to do something about sugar intake and lowered it. Now its like sweets and icecream r 20g+ sugar whereas biscuits i have are 6g tops for 4.
I really dont wanna overdo sugar.
I cant find a way to deal with this at the moment. What snacks can i buy instead of biscuits that will last in date (issue with having fruit as replacement)?
I was also really dieting prior to conception and in 2ww so may calories still aint really high as ive not yet massively added any.. this is bad right?
I decided to add 2 slices of toast a day and now they make me feel sick as well.
How do people keep calories "up" without lots of sugar?
Maybe im just a terrible eater?
But these aversions are not ganna help.
Even weirder it allowed me to eat fish today (i upped my fish to twice a week of omega rich) and fish usually makes.me feel sick before getting pregnant whereas so far its ok to eat? Bodies are weird right?

 

[Charlotte9]

Girls I'm constantly craving something to eat. This afternoon it was marinated herring. I even went to the shop to get it. But then I was not sure if fish was cooked or not. So I did not buy it. I've got constant heartburn. How are you all feeling?

I haven't had my booking appointment with MW yet either only saw her to pick forms up and have a quick chat. I have my booking appointment next Thursday, so will be 2 days shy of 10 weeks by then. I already know I'll be consultant led, discussed at initial appointment, she said because of the pcos and asthma they like to air on side of caution.

Hoping it's not look to wait before 12 week scan. Xx

I've been dieting for a few years prior to getting my bfp, only have around 1200 cals a day and excercise around 6 times per week. Midwife doesn't want me to up my calories at all as I have previously lost ten stone and she doesn't want me to pile it back on she does want me to cut the excercise down to 3 times per week maximum though and give up running and weightlifting. GP thinks different though, says I should be eating recommended and excercise as much as I want ans not give anything up. So who knows? MW is trying to contact dietitian for their views on it though because of the previous weight loss xx
