good luck with your scan twitt

i have been looking on the internet for a explaination for why i have 2 sacks and 1 baby and it seems everything points to vanishing twin syndrome the 2 sonographers that looked at my scan were saying all the same things that i have read but didnt say the words vanishing twin. sooo i have a scan on wednesday again for my dating scan and im going to ask a direct question whether its vanishing twin syndrome or not. clearly at some point twins were concieved. non identical they said so i want to know what happened just so i know exactly what it is. i find it easier to deal with things when i know what it is. whatever happens tho im just thankful that i have 1 baby that seems fine so far

[whohasnickedmyvodka]

Cvs is all done I'm a bit sore but that's it bump was very active and had a nice strong heartbeat just the waiting game now :) :) :)

[Lifeisabeach]

So sorry to hear clueless's news.

whohasniccked lots of luck for your CVS today, I hope you don't have to wait too long for the results and that they bring good news.

Durham, you really are going through it, I hope they manage to find a combination of meds that helps and you are able to come home soon.

Twitt, lots of luck for your scan today. Glad yours went well Pinksun.

theonewiththenoisychild, the possible twin pregnancy news must have come as a shock, glad the baby is doing well though.

Sorry if I've missed anyone, hope everyone is ok.

Finally got my 12 week scan date - it's not until Friday 19th, when I'll be 13+3. I'm having the nuchal; luckily I'm fairly certain about my dates so I'm just squeezing in in time. Am I the last person to have their scan?

[MyPandaisasecretmonster]

Life your not the last to have your scan, I don't have mine until the 23rd at which point I'll be 14+3 at least so I won't be able to have the nuchal even though I told them I wanted it

[Lifeisabeach]

Sorry Panda, that is just dreadful. Surely they can fit you in at some point before then? I know you've tried phoning and they aren't helpful, but it might be worth trying again in case they've had a cancellation. Can your MW or GP do anything? It doesn't seem right that you can't have the nuchal when you wanted it. I feel angry on your behalf!

[MyPandaisasecretmonster]

Nope they won't change it , I have tried everything & everyone

Tbh I needed my scan two weeks ago as I swear I'm a lot further gone than the sonographer that looked at me for 2 seconds said I were

I'm noticeably pregnant now , none of my clothes fit & I can feel kicks yet according to them I'm only 12+4

[DurhamRed]

Well looks like I'm in for another night. Tried combo of ondansetron and metoclopramide...then vomited my breakfast. So now taken off metoclopramide and upped dose of ondansetron. If I can't keep oral meds and food down then its onto steroid treatment

Still have fluids running as still dry (even after 7 bags!) Ah well...keep on going!!

[muchostinky]

I have my 12 week scan tomorrow, I wasn't really nervous until the past couple of days. Now I keep thinking 'what if something has happened?', I totally wasn't like this with DS - I didn't even have a passing thought that something might happen. Is it just because of being older and possibly more sensible or what? Frustrating anyway, whatever the reason. We are going to have a picture of DS with a t-shirt saying 'I'm going to be a big brother' on it to announce on Facebook, but I am even putting that off 'just in case'.

I want to be happy and excited about it, but just can't be yet. Typically too I have found a few things that we need to buy for the baby at good prices this week - bound to have all gone back up in price when I want to buy stuff.

Anyway, sorry about my moaning when others are having real yucky times just now.

Look after yourself everyone!

[Gudgyx]

Life, I havent had mine either :( and I'm 14 weeks now. Got my booking in appointment tomorrow, so I dont even have a date yet. So so glad I went for a private reassurance one, where I found out I was over 12 weeks

[KeeperOfTheZoo]

Oh Durham I'm so sorry, but glad you're in the right place for you and your baby right now. Look after yourself .

Think we're getting to that end-of-the-thread-need-a-new-one time again. Maybe once everyone's had their scans we can do an updated list of who's due when as I think quite a few of us have changed (still including those who have been moved into an entirely different month and are now two-timing us of course! ).

[oliveobsessed]

keeper re: cyst I think they only mention it if it is over 3cm. I had one at scan and sonographer explained that it should effect the pregnancy but if i felt a lot of pain then to speak to midwife. They will check on 20 wk scan if they can see it.

[KeeperOfTheZoo]

Fair enough olive - like I said I assumed it was nothing to worry about but just a mention in passing would have been nice. The sonographer was quite abrupt and business-like (definitely not the chatty type) but I suppose they're there to do a difficult job so I really wasn't bothered. I was pleased that she at least said (within seconds of starting the scan and turning the screen briefly towards me) "I can see your baby and the heartbeat so at first glance everything appears fine - now I'm going to get on with taking some measurements".

We'll see what the 20-week scan shows (I will probably ask about it then for my own piece of mind) but I'm not going to worry about it before then.

[persepolis123]

keeper I had a private reassurance scan at 6+5 and the sonographer told me I had a small cyst on my left ovary. She said it was completely normal and quite common for a cyst to develop at the time of ovulation when the egg is released. Most of the time it goes away on its own apparently and she didn’t seem concerned at all.

mucho good luck with your scan tomorrow. What time is yours? Mine is tomorrow too but I have to wait until 7pm.

[muchostinky]

persepolis It's at 2.20, but goodness knows how ling we will actually be there. I will be 12 weeks and 5 days, so I am hoping on a good picture. I don't know if I could wait until 7pm!

[junkfoodaddict]

I have had an eventful 48 hours!!! I went to work as normal yesterday; feeling tired, work colleagues said I looked pale and warm, I was very grouchy with my 6 & 7 year olds and then at lunchtime, I went to the loo and saw dried blood. Wiped and there was blood on the tissue paper too - not red but not brown, sort of inbetween. I went back to class and carried on but about an hour and a half later, whilst in the corridor writing up my children's guided reading notes, I broke down into tears in front of the secretary.
Phoned MW who put me through to EPU but at the wrong hospital (she assumed I was going to Hull) and they didn't even have the EPU number for York (where I'm going). So I phoned the antenatal ward who said as under 20 weeks, I needed to ring my GP. Rang the surgery, spoke to receptionist who said she'd speak to the GP and they'd ring back. I have to admit, my surgery were very quick. Within 5 minutes of the first phone call to them, I had an appointment at the EPU for the next day (today).
I was there 2 1/2 hours and I had another scan which revealed no cause for the bleeding (which had stopped yesterday evening) and that 'Bean' was absolutely fine.
By the time I was out of the hospital, there was no point returning to work as it was an hour back home (York city centre can be congested) and then an hour to work! So DH took me to Frankie and Benny's for lunch and then we went 'window' shopping at B&Q for stuff for our extension.

[persepolis123]

I will be 12+4 tomorrow and that was the only time they could fit me in before my holiday. I go away for a week on Saturday so I’m just pleased I don’t have to wait until I come back.

[persepolis123]

junk that sounds extremely stressful but glad bean is ok.

If all is well tomorrow I will start telling people our news. Both sets of parents know and DP’s siblings but nobody else. I have a bit of a dilemma with work though. I’m on annual leave next week then when I return my boss is on annual leave. Do you think I should tell my colleagues in my boss’s absence or wait until he’s back? I’m thinking I should wait because my boss should be first to know. What do you think? I will be 15 weeks by then though so don’t know if it will even be possible to hide it.

[pinkandstripey]

Sure have missed so much, but glad all is ok junk and persepolis could you call or email your boss if you won't see them. I've managed teams and I'd have been annoyed if colleagues knew something like that before it was official with the company iyswim.

[KeeperOfTheZoo]

Glad everything seems ok junk

[lotsoftoast]

Bit keen of me to say I'm feeling entirely better, as I vomited this morning. Going to be 14 weeks on Saturday, thought I was past this stage!

I will get a new thread sorted out for us - we do have stats list held elsewhere but I don't have the link....does anyone have it bookmarked?

[helly29]

Hello again!
Been away a little while so just caught up - so sorry for the ladies who have had bad news and wishing speedy recoveries to those who are still feeling rubbish!

Had my scan on Monday - everything fine thankfully and have been put forward by a week - so 13+3 today & due 16th March. Have started to tell people but it feels really awkward to start the conversation - I think I just don't like the attention! Feels more real now people know though

Anyone feeling 'the glow' yet? I know I'm not!

[ZebraZeebra]

Calling out to zyla I'm completely having a mad moment! I know we're due date buddies...are we 14+6 or 15+6??

completely loses plot entirely

[ZylaB]

14+6 zebra

[ZebraZeebra]

Knew I could count on you zyla! This may not be the first time I need to ask you...

[ZylaB]

I had to check my app though!
