Is anyone else getting a little concerned about Coronavirus? Has anyone’s midwife mentioned it? My booking in appointments not till next Thursday when I am 10 weeks (apparently they are just super busy where I live ...

It’s exciting hearing all your scan dates are coming up!

I’m pretty sure it will be transvaginal but it’s not as bad as it sounds!

It wasn't managed to see everything abdominally, and yeah I had a transvaginal before uncomfy but not unbearable, I just wanted to get prepared mentally lol

I'm not concerned. I saw my midwife today, she mentioned I could get the flu jab but it was up to me. She said flu jab does not protect against coronavirus. It's all hyper inflated by the media. Check out Mama Doctor Jones on YouTube, shes just posted a video answering questions about it in relation to pregnancy!

 

[Xsarahh]

I was told by my midwife last week that I’d be out of season for the flu jab. I didn’t have one in my last pregnancy for the same reason! I’m a teacher too so on the front line for bloody germs!

 

[Dinkydizzy]

how did you get on?

Really well, nice strong heartbeat, I do have a couple of pictures but there is not really much to see lol

Also I got my flu jab last week, I went in to pick up my blood forms and ended up leaving with my flu jab lol

Is anybody else showing yet? I thought it was all bloat but it doesn’t seem to go down so I think I have a bump already. I heard that it’s common to show earlier in second pregnancies but I look about 4-5 months! Feel huge! Last time I wasn’t showing until 14 weeks. Bit tricky when we’ve not told anyone yet but at least it’s winter and I can wear jumpers and baggy shirts.

9 weeks for me today! I agree the past few weeks have flown by! X

Congrats!

Yep, I am huge compared to last pregnancy. Probably the same size as I was at 20wks last time. I don't think it's going to go down as I just keep getting bigger.. Darn muscle memory

Not just me then!! I feel huge! Seeing the midwife for the first time today, excited to get my folder!!

 

[kj1]

My bloating has gone down loads but still have a small bump by the end of the day it’s huge again haha! Currently sat in the early pregnancy unit waiting for my dating scan...v nervous considering the lack of symptoms! X

 

[WinterWolf]

Oh @kj1 let us know how it went. Having no symptoms doesn't mean anything is wrong x

@kathryn85 haha the folder makes it more real.. I won't get a folder until my first hospital appointment which is usually around 16 weeks x

 

[kj1]

Healthy little bean with a heartbeat of 165bpm. They’ve put me back to 7 weeks today which I’m not sure is correct but apparently it’s hard to be accurate this early so could be 5 days either side x

 

[Dinkydizzy]

Ahhhh lovely kj1!

I don't really have a bump or a bloat going on atm but my boobs have gone masssssive! Can barely fasten my coats over them lol, specially if I have a jumper or hoody on.

I joined slimming World today, not to lose weight but to try and encourage myself to eat healthier cuz all I've been doing so far is putting away crap lol

 

[Natalie8964]

Lovely KJ!

The midwife struggled to get my blood yesterday. Never ever had a problem, I'm very used to having it taken.. it was just dripping out! So she called me today and it was no good, and I have to go back. The joys!

Been feeling crampy last few days trying to remain positive that it’s baby getting comfortable

I've been crampy pretty much all the time, I know how worrying it can be. Try to stay positive. My midwife said that it basically feels like your period is coming for the first 12 weeks and that its normal. I told her about my spotting and she didnt seen concerned x

Yes that’s exactly how it feels, like period is on its way. I’ve only had it last few days. Can’t stop going to toilet and checking. Thank you for replying x
