Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 9

@Springersprung I'm so sorry hon 😘 I know what you mean. The same day I had the scan when I found out about my previous MMC, another friend had her 12 week scan and posted her bouncing photo all over FB. I felt like my world had fallen apart whilst everyone else's just moved on. Thank you for finding the strength to still be happy for us 😘 I hope it gets easier soon x

Thank you everyone 😊 We are mega chuffed and relieved but of course now feel the stakes are higher too! Theoretically risk drops now so I'm trying to hold on to that.

@HeyJupiter Yes, the legs cracked us up! LB wouldn't stop dancing them whilst at the same time also lounging around flat on his back and giving the sonographer a hard time with the NT! I do think their dates are off as my LMP puts me at 12+2 and I don't think I can really have gained 2 days! Still, I shall keep an eye on the Nov thread too and follow all your journeys with interest 😄

Lovely scan picture biker

Feeling rather sick again this evening. Every time I get a bit hungry I get the nausea

Do you think so jupiter? OVIA tells me to test on the 26th but AF is due on the 29th so trying to hold out until then x

Congrats biker - what a lovely scan pic! So pleased for you, it must have been terrifying and then exciting so what a rollercoaster you have been on.

Springer sorry you are having a bad day

buzz sounds like taking a day off was totally necessary if your feeling that rubbish. Just keep your feet up and rest.

Good luck for testing soon hoping!

Eek confused we've had our first group kick! Well done little Noah!

Sorry will catch up properly after my dinner #hankmarvin

biker yaya!! What a lovely lil biker you've got there :) very pleased for you

Oh biker that's just made me cry. What a beautiful scan. 30th November was going to be my due date. I'm so happy for you.x

Yaaaaaay, biker, I am over the moon for you. Huge congratulations, what a little darling you have there. Look at that little leggy! Phew and phew :) You can join me, buzz and MrsC with our November babies hopefully xx

Afternoon ladies Everything was fine - little biker was actively kicking and waving arms about. Am at 12+2 today but little biker measured 12+4 so due date has been brought forward (for now anyway) to 30 Nov. Nuchal fold looked normal, but will get blood test results anyway in a week or so.

Thanks for all the support and hand holding and luck!! Was stunned at first; tears (of relief) came later!

Wow confused that must feel amazing. Little Noah letting you know he's there. Can't wait to start feeling BabyJupes. He/She was a little wriggler on the screen (all elbows) so should be interesting :)

Thinking of our scan girlies - hope it’s gone/going brilliantly!

grumpy unbelievable comments, what a stupid and insensitive thing for her to have said. And obviously untrue.

The day is nearly over MrsC, hope it went really well!

Ohh springer and buzz sorry you’re both feeling so rotten. You’re right to take some time away from work. Sending hugs.. oh and buzz you aren’t remotely pathetic, I know that feeling so well and gave into it myself the week before last. Was absolutely the right thing to do. You need to put your baby and your wellbeing first.

Ohh hoping when are you going to test? Sounds really promising :)

mummy how long will OH be gone for?

Wilde Dr Busch haha Have you found a pretty and sparkly ring? Eek, so exciting.

Afternoon Ladies... Sorry I am so baby brained at the mometn I just can't keep up!

Grumpy What an insensitive cow... honestly the everything happens for a reason is bad enough but you are no where near being old! Please don't listen to her and just put it down to awkwardness on her behalf.

I hope the scans went will Biker and HB so excited to see pictures! I also didn't require a full bladder for my 12 week one but I was advised to try and have a bit of water before laying down.

TV scans are fine btw! Infact in some ways they are more comfurtable... especially from my private 17 week one I just had because it felt horrid her pushing on my little Bump!

I have felt what I can only assume is baby Noah kicking today... It felt a bit like a twitch but not as strong? If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me looool

Hope all is okay girlies biker and hb ❤️

Dr Busch 😂😂 haha I imagined a TV to be like a giant round ball type thing so ignore me! wilde engagement shopping is super exciting, send us a pic!

Vaginal scans are absolutely fine! The probe is tiny (long and super narrow).

They are the norm at every single annual cervical smear in Austria, where I lived for a few years.

I can tell you, it was a little bit of a shock the first time I visited a gynea over there! Mine was called Dr. Busch, which I found hilarious!

But anyway, TVS are a non-issue so don't worry if you have one!

Wow. Lots on this thread to catch up on! Didn't have strong internet our west (stunning weekend!).

Lots of morning sickness, pretty sure I can feel him fluttering away already so all worth it!

Engagement ring shopping today! We registered the wedding :-)

Not sure buzz i know they just don't require a full bladder. Not sure if the USS machine is better therefore clearer? I think Kings college is the same and they have a similarly specialist fetal medicine unit 🤔

mummy how come some sonogrpahers require a full bladder and others don't? Surely it's the same ultrasound machine?

Definitely agree that TVS aren't that bad. I'm glad my hospital don't want a Full bladder for scans 😀
Gorgeous day out today. However I have been unbelievably lazy so far.
OH ha just dropped the bombshell that he may need to go to hong kong next month for work.... not entirely sure how this will work for childcare 🤔😑

Thank you everyone 😘

@buzzmoon I shall try my best but mainly because I think they're not going to offer me a TV scan as an alternative but will require me to sit and sip, as you say, and I don't want to have to start again and delay for even longer!

Vaginal scans aren't too bad. I've had like ten now!  best of luck both of you.

So nice and sunny today, I'm feeling good. At work but it's only a 4 day week for me. Going camping at the weekend on the south coast! Hope you feel better soon @Springersprung xx

biker even if it's really hard, don't go to the loo! I thought I was going to wet myself and the sonographer said my bladder wasn't full enough so had to sit and wait another 15 mins and I was soooo uncomfortable but as soon as the image came up I forgot and just wanted to look. Resist the urge because jupiter had to have a vaginal scan because her bladder wasn't full enough.

@buzzmoon 3pm. Will start drinking water as instructed at 2pm but I'm really not sure I'll be able to hold a full bladder for long so that'll probably mean delays as they ask me to sit and drink more water again

Yes I'm feeling better today buzz thank you, how are you doing? X

biker what time is your scan?
