March 2016 bus chugging along, sickness and early scans galore!

[Kittykitty05]

Not started a new thread before, so I'll give it a go....

wow all the 12 week scans coming up . so exciting! mine is in two weeks... feels like a lifetime away.

told quite a few friends at the weekend that I was pregnant.. one of them was really surprised when I told them how far along I was and said 'but you're already showing!'. I felt like saying thanks! but um no I'm just fat not her fault though, I've been terribly bloated the past couple of weeks, fybogel has helped get things moving a bit but I keep forgetting to take it, so my belly is sticking out quite a lot.

does anyone else have an aversion to tea at the moment? I'm really sad as I just can't drink it at the moment, have stopped even trying. I remember the same happening with DD and by second trimester I was back to drinking tea and enjoying it, so hoping the same happens this time, as tea is one of my morning pleasures and at the moment I just can't face drinking it.

maybe how far along are you? because i'm 12 weeks around the same time as you, booking app was on the 3rd so last week and haven't received a appointment yet I do have a scan booked for tomorrow at the EPU though, so nervous!

rosie I am 9+1 going by what I thought my ovulation date was, but 9+3 going by my early scan last week.

Don't be nervous, I'm sure everything will be fine and at 9 weeks or so you should be able to see something good - my 8 +4 bean looked like a real baby rather than just a blob!

maybe really? I'm excited and nervous :) and was the heart beat loud and clear? I'm 9+5 from my ovulation date but from midwife calculations she says I'm 10 already so the only accuracy I'm going by is the scan haha I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight!

Yes the heartbeat was 158 bpm which I was a bit worried about as thought that was a bit low (all over the internet people were saying theirs was 160-170) at 8 weeks, but doctor said it was very good and totally normal.

You can't hear the heartbeat though, only see it.

Haven't been on the thread much the last few days with being on holiday and my mum going in for her op today. However, as a result of my spot bleed last week I've managed to get an appt with epu for a scan tomorrow morning. Hopefully nothing to worry about and it'll put my paranoid over active worrying mind at rest!

Hope everyone doing well and congrats to any newbies! I will spend some time later and try and catch up. ????

maybe ahaha that's how you know that it's my first, I thought I would be able to hear it that would've been embarrassing tomorrow hahaha hun I don't think the internet helps at all in fact it makes up panic even more! My doctor had a good at my and said googling symptoms is the worse thing ever so I stopped now!

Miss everything will be okay what time is your scan? I'm hoping after the scan tomorrow I could actually start enjoying my pregnancy rather than panicking all the time :(

Actually ladies not wanting to make you feel worse but even though my scan was good at 8 weeks, I'm still worrying :S

In fact I've booked a private scan next week at 10 weeks just so I can check all is still ok...do I win the prize for utter madness????

Maybe, I'm not taking anything for granted - I had a mc the day after my 12 week scan 9 years ago. Hence my paranoia. I won't settle properly til I can feel movement daily!

Appt is at 9.45 but not Togo with a totally full bladder as won't be scanned straight away. She said to be comfortably full and top up when I'm there.

Missdee sorry about your previous MC. I'm also paranoid so totally understand how you feel!

I think we're all paranoid! I had a private scan at 8+1 which showed all was well and a strong heartbeat, but I'm still worrying loads about my 12 week one hoping that once I get passed that milestone I'll feel more relaxed!

me what was your bean's HB if you don't mind me asking? I like to know others :)

Don't get me wrong girls I won't be 100% relaxed I know I panic all the time so I agree with you Miss when I feel daily movement that's when I'll be a bit reassured, see the epu never told me anything about coming in with a full bladder?! my appointment is at 11:15, Never taking anything for granted, fingers crossed for us ladies!!

Maybe you're not mad haha I'll be doing the same thing trust me

rosie you'll probably get a transvaginal scan rather than an abdominal one, it's much more reliable at the early stage. You need an empty bladder for a transvaginal one, so they'll probably ask you to do a wee when you get there if your bladder is full.

They didn't tell me the heartbeat for mine, you could see it as a little flash but didn't tell me the rate - that kinda worries me.

Had booking appt last Tuesday so just a waiting game for the scan letter now, even though I'm a lot happier seeing it wriggling away on the screen yesterday I'm still worried, previous losses just seem to be darkening all of us at the moment.

Good luck for all the scans over the next few days ladies!! It is nervewracking for sure. Mine is on Thursday so a few days to go yet. I'm trying to stay busy to take my mind off it. I got so nervous before DD's 12 week scan I didn't sleep a wink the night before and was a mess in the scan so I'm going to try to relax a bit more this time!

maybe oh okay, what I'll do is i'll drink a little bit just in case its an abdominal scan and if it is transvaginal then i'll go for a wee before!

I'll be totally honest the only time I will be happy and relieved is when my baby is in my arms! Bring on 7 months of worrying and stressing out!

maybe and Q, they didn't tell me the heart rate at my scan either - they just said it was a good strong heartbeat.

Wow thread is busy today! We're going to need thread #3 soon

I would go comfortable Rosie, if you're anything like me it doesn't take much to fill my bladder I'll have water with my breakfast and probably take a bottle with me and that'll be more than enough for me to be bursting I expect ????

Miss yep I'm like you doesn't take me long haha good luck tomorrow hun :)

Thank you, and you ???????? sure we'll all be fine x
