******NEW August 2015 Mummies******

[Babybushie28]

Hi ladies!

I also had my scan today and baby is doing well in there, developing normally and bouncing around! It was so lovely to see! I've been put forward 4 days so I'm 12+2 with a due date of 22nd August!

It made it feel so real now and I'm super super excited!!

Wow, my baby must be small on my 12 week scan I was exactly 12 weeks but baby only measured 53mm but was perfectly formed.
Last day in tri 1 tomorrow will be 14 weeks on Wednesday

Have had an awful week, with so much stress at work still unsure what I'm going to do its keeping me awake and making me feel sick have been so well the rest of my pregnancy, I'm so worried I might affect baby which is in turn making me feel even worse, grr.

glad everyones scans are going well and everyone is so close to tri2 Xx

Congrats babybushie! Lovely news. All the best in tri 2 kimmy, hopefully will see you there soon hope you feel better soon too. I know the feeling of stress at work! Just take things easy where you can xxxx

Congratulations babybushie cos pleased all is good with baby and being put forward 4 days.

I was a wee bit naughty at work this morning. I was in between patients so decided to do a sneaky scan on myself (I work in cardiology and do heart scans) baby popped up straightaway and had the hiccups. It was so cute seeing them bouncing away.
Definitely going to scan myself every week now as I am desperate to see if it's a boy or girl. Should find out in about 4/5 weeks!!!

Balthazar I'm so jealous that you can scan yourself! That's amazing! I'd be doing it all the time lol x

 

[Jess07]

Aww Michelle how lovely u get to sneak peaks in with baby .. When can u find out the sex? I'm going to pay for an early gender scan but not sure of best time? I'm 13 weeks today x

 

[Balthazar1275]

I used to scan myself ever week when I was carrying my little boy. Now I am back at work I couldn't help myself. New I am at this stage it's easy to find baby and see what they are up too.

I'm so jealous of everybody having their scans! I'm going to be the last one to move over to tri 2 if my due date stays the same. My dating scan isn't until the 20th, 10 days to go! Had a strange dream last night that I had turned up at my old school for my scan just to find out that I was a day late, I woke up very confused to say the least!

Gosh I feel for you Charlotte, I was due 24th June with Riley, I was one of the last of the June mummies on here and it was so frustrating seeing everyone having scans before me and all sorts. Don't feel shy about jumping in to tri 2 early, I have done now both times

 

[CharlotteH24]

I have been tempted to, I'm going to feel quite left out once everybody else in August mummies disappears over there! Think I might just jump over a few days early. Seems like everybody has had their scans this week, makes me excited but also dread going for mine. I just have this awful feeling that I'm going to get bad news next Friday. I've been dreading it ever since my booking in appt but now it's closer I'm really feeling the anxiety about it! Fingers crossed that it'll be good news, I've been driving myself nuts having seen people talking about their previous MMC's at 11/12 weeks.
People say that pregnancy is the best and most natural thing to happen to you but ya definitely not the most mentally healthy, I'm such a worrier! Xx

 

[Rainbow1234]

I worry all the time too Charlotte, the only way I get through is by trying not to think about being pregnant too much. And obv that's impossible! If it helps ive got my scan on Thursday but I kind of wish it was next week cos I'll only be 11+5. I'd rather be over 12 weeks really xx

 

[CharlotteH24]

I don't think I'll truly feel safe until I'm past 30 weeks where I know there's a relatively good chance of saving baby if something was to happen early. Part of me would rather not have the scans just so I'm not worrying about it, sounds bad but it's like a weird mindset of if I don't know and can't find out then it hasn't happened to me. At the same time I want the scan because I can't bare not knowing either. Strange I know! Xxx

Charlotte- I actually did this last time!! No kidding, I was gutted and felt stupid! They made me wait an hour but squeezed me in!!

Congrats Jenbob on a good scan - updated your date
Yayyy for your scan Michelle - and oh wow to you sneeking scans at work!
Baby bushie - congrats on happy scan- updated your date
Charlotte sorry to hear youve been in pain x ( i might be the last to go over anyway if I do loose my 4 days.
Ill be waiting till I get my nuchal screening risk back anyway

My scan date came througth today - next tuesday , ill either be 12 plus 4 or 12 weeks if i loose 4 days as early scan indicated, can't wait now. Got the leaflet to sign for consent for nuchal/combined screening and was appalled to find the whole leaflet only mentions down syndrome screening!! Not kne mention of pateau or edwards, or other issues...no wonder people incorrectly call it down syndrome screening...

 

[CharlotteH24]

I can just see it happening to me! I think it's because dear OH went to a job interview 24 hours late the other week and it must have been on my mind, no idea why I was dreaming of my old secondary school though. A little bit odd haha! Mine will be at 12+4 for my scan in 10 days, glad I'm having it in my twelfth week though. Think I'd go crazy if it was 11 weeks or 13 weeks, just because they seem to look so different in the space of a week and waiting until 13 weeks would drive me nuts! I'd constantly be wondering whether it would look more developed a week later though. Always find it so off that it'll only be the size of a lime at the time of scanning. Xx

Just heard little baby's heart beat on my Doppler arrived this morning! Kept thinking I was hearing it , but must have been vessels or something because when I did find baby it was racing so quick and kept moving! Such a lovely thing to hear. Thank u Michelle for encouraging me to get one by saying about yours x

 

[Ljd401]

I still haven't moved over girls. I don't feel I can because of the High Risk Downs hanging over me. I just want the blood results back. Roll on Tuesday xx

It's so reassuring isn't it. I let my husband hear the babies heartbeat last night. His face lit up hearing it beating away. Best sound in the world
