TWW - Testing Around 1st March

@DiamondApricot ahhh lovely little pic 😍 hopefully the placenta will move up as baby grows xx

@DiamondApricot what a lovely scan pic! I think the placenta etc has plenty time to move!

I am lucky enough to say that everything was fine for our baby girl this morning, only snag is that I have a low lying placenta. They're going to scan again at 34 weeks and it should move up by then but if not, I'm bound for a section.
Also found out that because I'm going on a long haul business trip in two weeks, I have to have daily injections from 28 weeks, not looking forward to that.

Thankyou @DiamondApricot I haven't even told ny closest friends but you guys have been there since day one so it seems right. Will let you know what gets said tomorrow xx

@Sb86 I know there's nothing we can say that'll make this news ok for you but you and your baby are very much in my thoughts. I hope you can get some answers tomorrow and wish you all the absolute best. I'm sure others will agree that despite being internet strangers, we are here for you if you want to talk 💐

Hi guys, sorry I didn't post yesterday was trying to get my head round things...I doubt I ever will. Scan went really well until they looked at the bottom of the spine and saw a gap, our poor little baby has spina bifida. We have been referred to Leeds fetal medicine and have an appointment tomorrow for more indepth scans/tests. Needless to say we are absolutely devastated by this news, I just can't believe it's happening. We will know more tomorrow and be given choices for going forward which regardless will be so difficult. Please keep us and our baby in your prayers xx

@DiamondApricot good luck for your scan tomorrow xx

Congratulations to everyone who has had their scan. Fab pic @TTCRainbow
@Sb86 I massively admire your restraint on finding out the sex, how did the scan go??
@Myperfectchaos my due date twin, sorry about the scanning equipment, similar thing happened to me last time but at least it means an extra scan.

Excited for tomorrow, she's kicking the hell out of me today so looking forward to seeing her again😊

@Myperfectchaos that's a bummer about the pictures but lovely you go again in 2 weeks to see baby again and obviously great everything is well 🥰

Congratulations on the healthy scan and the news of a little boy @UnwieldyRhombus hope work calms down for you so you can relax a little x

I'm having a boy! Not sure my 4yo daughter will be best pleased as she wanted a sister but I've prepared her for it going either way. Everything looked healthy on the scan which is really reassuring!

Now I have to go back to work which is...ugh. Super stressful at the moment. I know I can hardly start my maternity leave now but I feel so done with manager nonsense and wish I could just enjoy the pregnancy!

Aw how lovely.. the scanning machine wasn’t working properly for mine, they could see everything was fine but not clear enough for the pictures they needed. So I’m back in 2 weeks

@TTCRainbow oh my 😍😍😍😍 too blooming cute!! Glad everything went well 🥰 thanks for the luck, I'm so nervous now 😥 xx

@TTCRainbow hope your scan went amazingly and that little boy of yours cooperated 🥰

@UnwieldyRhombus what time is yours? X

@TTCRainbow it's worth the wait 🥰 don't get me wrong I'm excited to find out what sex the baby is but I can wait. I love that your little boy was like here mummy and daddy I'll show ya 🤣

Not finding out @UnwieldyRhombus never have, love the surprise too much 🥰

My scan is tomorrow too! It's funny how these scans are so exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. I'm looking forward to it though. Is anyone planning to find out the sex?

@DiamondApricot I'm trying to side sleep but I'm finding it so uncomfortable this time around! I need to break out my pregnancy pillow and give it a good clean. It takes up so much of the bed though!

Yup @TTCRainbow mine is tomorrow at 4 and I'm excited to see baby again but so nervous. I've felt movement and I was told I have an anterior placenta but I've definitely felt it.

@DiamondApricot I've been side sleeping for a while now, haven't got a pregnancy pillow just yet though.

Good luck with the scans ladies xx

Good luck for tomorrow girls, mine is Friday 9am. I'm excited but nervous because I've had a much easier ride with this pregnancy compared to my first and I don't know when this luck will run out.

Has anyone else started side sleeping only yet? I'm already getting so uncomfortable at night.

Mine is tomorrow @UnwieldyRhombus ill let you know how it goes x

Anyone had their 20 week scan? I feel weird about it in a way that I can't quite explain. I think it's because the first half of this pregnancy has been difficult. I'm hoping I can enjoy the second half a lot more! Although I already feel huge and I've got another 20+ weeks (my first child came at 42 weeks) to go and no doubt so many more fun new symptoms to experience😅

Good luck with the scans ladies. Hope you're all feeling ok and keeping cool in the heat xx

Yeah, I had my 16 week appointment last week and the midwife said they don't listen for the heartbeat at this stage.

Massive bump now, very obviously pregnant. Lots of heartburn now but also pleased I passed my first GTT last week :)

@TTCRainbow my bump is quite big I’ve already started waddling 😝

my midwife says they don’t check for heartbeat until 24 weeks here which is a bit annoying.
