Sorry for the not very imaginative title. Noticed old thread was full and couldn't find a new one.

Lovely scan today and we have a little wriggler! Had to have an internal scan as well which I wasn't expecting, but it wasn't too bad. They gave us 6 photos when it should only have been two and were v nice (we had two, scanner and lady on computer). Just heading home now and so excited about telling my DD

3rdtime I'm the same as you and panda, me and panda had a mc the same few days but I don't think I ovd til a good week after her so I've guessed my edd aswell.
Congrats little pickle, was your due date guess correct?

Oh and beaver I have always found the scans very clinical, they are only there to get measurements and check for abnormalities etc I know for us it's a chance to see our babies and the relief at getting to 12wks etc but for them it's just for a job/purpose, if you book a private scan though they are totally different and coo and point things out like the baby sucking their thumbs or waving etc, you might like to do that when you are further along as I found it really enjoyable unlike my 20wk which was quite an anti climax, I had a 3/4d one at 25 wks last time

I was out by 2 days, but that's close enough for me

Hello! Is anyone else getting out of breath and occasionally dizzy? Had to stop on my walk to work to catch my breath and on my home I suddenly got really dizzy? Only a 40 minute walk that I have to do everyday a bit scary like!

Thanks for the congrats :) won't be tying any knots before baby comes though. Got too much to get on with and need to start saving!

Another lovely scan story LittlePickle :)

I'm having a bit of a wobbly moment. I feel awful (so should not have said I was starting to feel better) and feel really stressed too. My scan is tomorrow and it has hit me in the last hour how worried I am about it. How worried I am about telling people. Just worried about everything. I've already been crying and still want to but have the girls to put to bed first.

11+6 (although I think that's a few days optimistic but will know more tomorrow I guess)

Good luck with the scan terror

Unfortunately mild dizzyness is normal, just make sure you're drinking plenty and take it slowly where necessary. If its severe speak to your MW.

10 glad it isn't just me! Keep counting down the hours days before We have the scan, so I can tell people. I am sure everythinks I am going nuts. Two weeks today huzzah!

seven only happened once just caught me by surprise!

I had my scan today as well and it was lovely. So amazing to see the baby on the screen and realise it is real! I was really worried beforehand and went into it really expecting the worst. I was getting into a flap about little things and even had to google what I should wear! But it was so reassuring and I've been wandering round all day with a little glow of happiness. These past few months have been so hard that it is lovely to re-connect with the positive side of what is happening. Oh and they dated me as a week later than I thought so I am officially out of the first trimester. Yay!

kitty I've been feeling just like that - the only thing that seems to help with the dizziness is regular small snacks and moving slowly.

terror I hope the scan goes really well tomorrow. Just take it one step at a time - concentrate on the scan and then tomorrow you cab think about how/when to tell people. Otherwise it all gets a bit overwhelming!

I thought the 2nd trimester started at 13 weeks?

10 I'm so that you will be 13w tomorrow All my apps say that 2nd trimester hits at 13w mark so let us know what your app tells you!

Oh darn, I thought it was 12 weeks! That must be why I feel so rough still

Does anyone find that they hiccup and sneeze a lot? These must be my weirdest symptoms...

Glad your scan went well roast! Out of interest, what did you wear? I was thinking long skirt so of they do have to an internal I can hitch it up, rather then having to get undressed. Equally skirt (elasticated waist) can easily pull down for tummy scan. I like to feel prepared.

My app says 13 weeks ends first trimester but we'll be telling everyone if we get the OK from our scan.

Hi ladies, so exciting to read about all these scans going on. I've got mine at 12.45 today Hadn't even thought about an internal though - I'm wearing jeans as they are the only things I have that fit me!!!
Fingers crossed for later. I'm excited & nervous. And I think my husband will freak out! Eeeek!

pickle I wore jeans - I just needed to unbutton and zip them and then she tucked paper into the flaps. The bit above my knickers was exactly where she needed to get to. I hadn't even thought of an internal, so wasn't prepared for that. But as long as you can open your skirt at the top or pull it down a bit it should be fine.

Good luck today twinkling!

Thanks Roast - i don't think everyone gets an internal but I remember someone on here saying they had one.

Good luck twinkling - so very exciting! :-)

Yay 10 and yay for all the scans happening today I don't think you get an internal at 12 weeks. That normally happens if you're having a very early scan. It better not happen to me as I've had 3 yucky internal scans already and I don't want another one!!

Wow, so exciting to start hearing scan news. Congratulations to all
I've just realised that it will actually be happening to me two weeks today, feeling very impatient and anxious. I'm very lucky to be symptom free apart from tiredness and bloating so I do worry it's all my head and I'm just over eating for no reason!!

Ps: good luck today Twinkling

Peardrop awesome, our EDD's are only two days apart at the mo so it'll be interesting to see where our dates move to , if they do, after our scans. Mine is at 3pm x
