hi all. Gosh you can talk: I think last time I posted was at the start of the second thread!
I've not bothered to RTFT, but I hope all is going well for many of you. I am more than well aware that there are never any guarantees. 12 week scan time is funny really. For me there's a big part of me excited as we may well be able to announce. But a bigger part scared about bad news. I was chatting to a friend this morning who knows I am pg, and she asked me when I would tell every one, assuming tomorrow as the scan is then. But actually, I've waited 8 weeks, so am rather inclined to wait till after the 20 week scan. I guess it'll be harder to hide by then, being number 3 and it being warmer and not baggy jumper weather by then.
Just to add to the worry, DS1 has had chicken pox. Luckily when I called her, my lovely MW arranged to take my blood and get it tested for immunity, and called me today without me chasing her to say I was immune. Honestly, she's lovely. It's the first time I have had a named MW and it makes me feel so much better.
Pretty shocked by NHS hospitals not having facility to provide a scan at 12 weeks due to equipment problems. Also not impressed that they book you one so late, at 13+1! I've had 4 appointments for 12 weeks scans over the years, and all of them have been for between 11 and 12 weeks, precisely to allow for a rescan in case of equipment problems or the baby not being well positioned.
Some posters have mentioned feeling some movements. I'm sure I have, when lying very still on my back.
Right, off to read the thread!
