October 2017 Mummies!

[Flick9670]

Hey all, just got back and scan went well, am 10 weeks 4 days so due 8th October, feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders (for this moment anyway, am sure tomorrow I will start to worry again ha) but nice strong heart beat and was wiggling away from the pressure but saw it wiggling and moving and just made me cry! So happy xx

 

[Allysa151]

Aww so happy for you ! X You can relax now please , really great news
I am due on 10th , we're not far , hope dates won't change after dating scan

Vichilou, how annoying...hope you will get the letter soon

 

[Flick9670]

Thank you I really want to relax and enjoy this now, just worried about letting my guard down!! x

NHS are slow aren't they, am dreading how long I will have to wait for my 12 week scan, but the place I went to, if I have another 2 reassurance scans I get a free 3D scan so am tempted by that, £45 a scan?

 

[Allysa151]

Don't want to tempt to but I would if a scan here would be £ 45 Anyways, I have decided to wait for 4th April for the NHS dating scan and then go for a private gender scan after 16 weeks , without telling my OH obviously . I believe to wait from 12 weeks scan until 20 weeks scan is way too long .Or maybe I am too impatient

 

[Flick9670]

No I agree I think it is awful that we only get two scans, one of my friends is from New zealand and they have a scan every 4 weeks until birth, we go from 20weeks with nothing unless we pay! Mind you it is a profitable service for the companies that do it isn't it! Maybe I should get into that line of work lol x

12 weeks to 20 weeks go quite quickly but it's the gap between 20-40/42 that seems forever without seeing in there! When I was pregnant with my son I was forever saying I wished there was a window so I could look in and see what he was doing how he was laying etc x

haha yep I like the idea with the window. In my home country they do scans each month to see how is progressing the pregnancy, it is really odd that we won't do any scans from 20 until 40. However, I will probably save and do a couple of them privatly , it's just such a long wait. It might not change much but I will do them for my peace of mind.

Anyone else eating like crazy or it is just me ? Symptom wise I am not nauseous anymore, just very sleepy and tired. At work I put sometimes the head on my desk and rest for few minutes.

Great news on the scan Flick. I can't wait for mine next week. Won't feel real until I actually get to see it and know its OK.

I thought I had broken the back of the symptoms, but today I've probably felt the most sick I have so far. I've also been really irrationally grumpy at everyone. Its taken all of my inner strength to not rant at people. My husband is lucky he's away otherwise I'd probably be taking it out on him!

Can't wait to get the scan done and a more accurate date so we can book in my husbands R&R and hopefully a mini break for when he's back on that. Won't be until June but will give me a chance to plan that (and all the work I'll want him to do for the nursery!)

 

[Heather1981]

That's great news flick glad all went well and try relax but I no that's easier said than done.
I want to get the gender scan done we had this done at 16weeks with my son and they did out on the 3D and gave us a photo which he does look like a little alien lol
My husband wants to go when I am further on but think it would be nice to compare at same stage as last pregnancy

 

[Cazzie11]

Hi everyone! Been a bit quiet on here as I'm just crossing my fingers everything's ok. Finally got my booking in appointment today (I'm 11.3 weeks!!) so hope they're going to book an urgent scan. Bloody doctors messing everything up! X

 

[Allysa151]

Hi Cazzie, we're all crossing fingers everything is ok to be honest! I am All waiting for the dating scan so we can relax a bit. They booked me on 4th April when I will be 13 weeks.

I just remember to ask, what did you get from your midwife on the booking in appt? I read some girls received like pregnancy journals where everything is written down. I received 2 packs, most of them containing informations about birth, breasfeeding etc, the maternity form and another filled in form , info about my hospital, midwife team , some pregnacare lol and that was it. No notebook. Did anyone got it?

Wow Cassie they are cutting it fine!
I'm 11.2 so one day behind you - I've got my scan next Friday, these 7 days are going to drag....

Hello! So It's 11 days till my scan.....feels more like 11 years

I have been fine recently....hardly any symptoms. Feel almost normal haha. Last night in bed I got a sort of light sharp pain on my right side (where ovary is) I have had it on and off today....Has anyone else experienced this?? I'm currently 10w2d

Hope everyone is well

Hey Olivia, I have the same thing! At my reassurance scan the lady did ask me if I have any pain there because I have a big corpus luteum cyst (which is quite normal in pregnancy) I had one last time but it had disappeared by my 20 week scan. I think perhaps it only becomes an issue if it doesn't go away x

Ohh...I'll mention it at the scan! Hopefully it won't be a problem!

The countdown begins vickilou I'll be 11+6 when I have my scan. Can't wait....if everything is ok then we will finally be telling family! Been keeping quiet since February 2nd.

Who else is still waiting to announce??

 

[AmyThomas]

Yep, still waiting to announce. Will be 12w 1d at the scan and am planning on telling family if everything is ok. Bit nervous about telling them on my own. I know they will be thrilled but I'm still a bit nervous. I'm a 30+ married woman who has planned this, with a house and decent job, but I will still feel like a naughty knocked up teenager when I have to tell them!

 

[lea554]

We are still to announce! Scan on Friday, then will do the announcement in time for Mother's Day, would be rude not too!
Xx

 

[Olivia118]

I do feel bittersweet about telling family as it gets closer to it. It'll be nice once family know because then I can talk about it and share the excitement etc but so far it has just been our little secret....which has also been nice because it's something we don't have to share with anyone else.
It makes me feel about anxious about everything....ideally I would have preferred to be in a better situation. Don't get me wrong, my partner has his own business, owns his own home, is successful etc and will always support me. But I always thought when I became pregnant I would be more further on (if that makes sense). I'm 23, I haven't passed my driving test, don't have a permanent job at the moment just feel a bit behind.

Sorry ladies....felt like a rant! Still have this on/off sharpish pain in the right side :/
