Oh yay for more oldies!

I am to call the hospital for my midwife appt tomorrow and I want to push for a scan and blood test asap. We are off to my home country from 8 December and I want to know the deal before we leave.

Does anyone know how early you can get the nuchal measurement done?

PseudoBadger · 24/10/2012 11:08

I think it's from 11 weeks.

I've been to the gp this morning and discussed lots with her and got referred to the midwife. I'm very hopeful that since I'm 10 kilos lighter than at the start of my first pg and my BP is much lower, I'll not suffer as many ill effects as last time . She thinks I'll have a good case for an elcs too.

Hi olimoss I think they like you as close to 12 weeks as possible, i have a dating scan booked as i am unsure of my cycle, so we can accurately arrange the nuchal scan. I am a real oldie (40) and had an amnio with my first, nuchal scan with my 2nd and no screening with 3 and 4... with 5 i feel old enough to be concerned!!

nannyl · 24/10/2012 13:08

its from 11 weeks minimum

but my friend went for hers at 11+1 and it was still too small so they asked her to come back a week later

DontSweatTheSmallStuff · 24/10/2012 14:27

Dldj I'm due on 15th, but have a tendancy for early babies so expect dc3 to probably arrive in May.

Secretsparkle We've been trying since ds2 was 2 (now 4.5) Would've preferred a smaller age gap tbh but wasn't meant to be.

Feeling much better today after my long morning sleep yesterday. Plus have 2 unexpected days off (am a childminder and both mindees are unexpectedly off) which has happened at just the right time so feeling much more chilled today. Got scan booked for 6th December. Starting to get excited now Grin

Really must stop watching Baby ER though. Everyone seems to need some kind of intervention because "this baby doesn't want to come out" and I keep wanting to scream "Get the the poor woman off her back then" Arrgh

DontSweatTheSmallStuff · 24/10/2012 14:28

can i join the oldie club. Will be 42 when dc3 is due.

I've had a letter today from the hospital so now have dates for my booking in (21st nov) and nuchal scan (30th nov) Grin. Shame they can't coordinate with the antenatal appt I've got on 20th nov...ah well. Will buy some shares in the hospital car park I think Wink

HowAnnoying · 24/10/2012 17:53

Hi everyone, I've finally booked drs appointment for Monday...forgetting kids are off school so need to re-arrange tomorrow. I'm dying to tell the ds' who're 5 and 3 but know I need to wait for my scan. I'm feeling really sick! I want to curl up and cry.

ella0 · 24/10/2012 17:54

My scan is on 20th Nov so I'll be 11+1. They've told me the appt. will last for 3 hours as my booking in appt. and blood tests are at the same time.

Secretsparkle I got pregnant on our third month of ttc (although my DH was sick around the vital days the first month and away the second month, which hindered our plans a little). I'm 32 and thought it would take longer after all I'd read, and due to the fact that I've never been on the pill but have never become accidentally pregnant (in fact I was convinced we would have a problem).

dreamydays · 24/10/2012 19:24

3 hours for a scan appointment!! Over here in France, standard gyn appointments (including scan) are 15 minutes long. I can pop in on the way to work. I have a prescription for the blood tests which I can get done at a lab whenever I like (takes about 10 minutes). And there's no such thing as booking in as far as I know!

ExpatMamaToBe · 24/10/2012 21:06

dreamydays Looks like it's very similar over here (Italy) - had an app with a GP this eve, if I hadn't asked a few questions, it'd have lasted 10 minutes. She referred me to the hospital for blood/urine tests and a scan (before 13 weeks, I'm 6+1 today). I asked about the nuchal scan - they only do it if you've got history in your family. She wasn't even going to mention it. She didn't ask if I was taking folic acid either. At the end, I asked if I was going to be referred to see a gyno; she said I could if I wanted to but it's not standard. I've been quite calm till now but after this app I'm freaking out.

preggersbycheggers · 24/10/2012 22:09

I have my scan on 17th November. I fell pregnant the first month of trying and then had a miscarriage but fell pregnant again this time straight after miscarriage so didn't even have a period.

I will be 35 when this little nipper is born.

Have to say I'm slightly nervous at coping with another one! I breastfed my DS to 13 months and those early days are so hard. Lets hope DS will have got the hang of negotiating by then!!!

Onemoreforgoodmeasure · 25/10/2012 15:53

Hi Everyone, I think I've officially become a lurker on this thread, my goodness there are a lot of us! As someone said, what was going on in September?!

Today I'm 8+3. I've had a terrible few days of crippling nausea and feel much better now that it seemed to have calmed down to the garden variety level of nausea. I'm still quite lethargic but seem to be getting used to it as I can quite happily plan on coming home and going to bed to sleep or read or whatever. I've got my booking in appt next week on Halloween, I'm hoping she has some treats for me! [hsmile]

Hope you're all doing well!

HowAnnoying · 25/10/2012 17:08

I'm 7 weeks today and feel terrible Sad

I'm so pathetic when I feel sick.

Hope everyone is ok though Smile

LadyFlumpalot · 25/10/2012 17:14

Hello everyone. I'm having a really crap week.

I think our landlord is going to kick is out Sad he has an estate agent coming tomorrow to value my house. Says I'm not to worry - but he would say that.

Anyway, 8 weeks exactly today (but I may be a month further on) and my booking in is next week. I have a little bump now, and am going to have to come clean at work next week. I'm normally on the smaller side of a size 6 and my colleagues are starting to ask if I'm putting on weight!

pinkapples · 25/10/2012 18:51

Oh no ladyflumpalot Sad
Hope everyone else is alright I'm 7+2 today feeling very sick in the mornings but alright the rest if the day apart from the hunger

Still not believing it yet scan on Monday so fingers crossed if its good news dh is taking me out for dinner Grin

MadameJ · 25/10/2012 19:52

Hello everyone, still feeling ok although I did feel a bit sick tonight when I was cooking tea. Have my booking in appointment in 2 weeks because apparently there is some sort of "baby boom" going on in my area!!

Although I am only 6+2, I swear I already have a bump (probably about the same size as about I was when I was 14-16 weeks last time) Is this normal for your 2nd pregnancy?? at this rate I will be waddling before I have my scan Grin

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 25/10/2012 20:51

Hi all, sorry to hear about crippling morning sickness, it sounds horrible! I still haven't got any, maybe it will kick in next week but I only even get a bit of nausea, not usually sick.

I'm still bleeding all the fecking time, now with cramps/general period or pelvic achiness for the last three days. I'm not worrying about it too much because there's nothing to be done for it, I'm just taking paracetamol, and taking it as easy as I can, the more I do the more pain and bleeding I get. Good excuse to sit on my arse and eat chocolate miserably if you ask me. Just counting down the days til my scan next Friday, and hoping to see the heartbeat. On the up side my boobs are tender, my gums are bleeding spectacularly when I brush my teeth, and I do "feel" pregnant so I think they're pretty good signs that things are still ok.

Have any of you signed up for pregnancy emails? I love them, as they all disagree with each other, particularly on the baby's size at any given week of gestation. And the units of measurement are so random, and often not given to a standard size! I've seen anything from "it's the size of a potato" (new? baking?) to "the size of a cranberry bean" (wtf?)

Next week on babycentre.com: At 8 weeks your baby is the size of a squirrel testicle! [hconfused]
