Due in February 2017....thread 5!

[SkyLucy]

Thread five for the chattiest bunch of preggers ladies you've ever had the pleasure of encountering. We're greeting the second trimester with excitement and apprehension, and lots of questions, humour, reassurance, empathy and advice.

Fourth thread here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2684139-february-2017-thread-4-are-we-the-chattiest-bunch-or-what

Mine's 23rd Sept - any 20wk scan chums on the same date? Annoyingly - probably stupidly on my part - I went for their last appointment of the day at 4.30, thinking it'd be convenient to not need to leave work any earlier. Of course, thinking about it, all I'll do is worry about it ALL day beforehand....so that won't be hugely distracting!

Did you ladies get your 20 wk scan date at your dating scan??

Holly, yes I did. They set the appointment up in reception as the sonographer was finishing up her report in the scan room.

I got mine in the post but was only a few days afterwards.

Oh good. I had to chase quite a bit to get this one booked in on Friday. So if they book it at the time (presuming everything is ok) at least I can just relax after

My 20 week scan is 29th September xx

2many I'm so so sorry, I hope you have lots of support around you. Thinking of you

Hi holly. Yes, I was taken straight out from my 12w scan and asked what date (from a range) I was free for my 20w. I was lucky, my 12w was at 08:40. My 20w is at 11:50. I'm going to be climbing the walls!

I'm so sorry 2many, truly awful news

Welcome summer, hyperemisis here too. Also hoping for light at the end of the tunnel soon. I have cyclizine which helps with the vomiting but does nothing for the nausea or lack of appetite. I forgot to take my last dose and now can't get back on top of it so it's been a 'fun' afternoon.

I've got my scan at lunchtime tomorrow, I'll be either 11+6 if my scan last weekend was right or 12+5 if my dates are right. My dates must be right otherwise it means I got a positive test only a week after conception

Congratulations on today's dating scans.

My 20 week scan was booked for when I was 19+5 but I'm away that week so it's been rescheduled for when I'm 20+4
holly I got both my 12 week scan and 20 week scan appointments sent through together about 2 weeks after my booking appointment.

Bless you ScottishSnowflake. My scan is at 2pm, so got to spend the morning at work not concentrating lol I'll definitely be opting for a morning appointment for my 20 wk scan if I get a choice!

Uber, my dating scan put me at a week after cycle started apparently it is possible! Waiting to see what/ if my date changes at my 20w and I just have a big baby!

I got my 20 week scan when I was at my scan on Thurs!

uber i have that hyperemesis also 😷 had a good day yesterday but bad today! Hoping it passes soon!!

2many so so sorry to hear of your loss, I hope you are getting plenty of support in real life. Sending you hugs

So sorry 2many :(

2many I am so sorry for what has happened. Xxxx sending love and hugs.

I think I might be last on the 12 week scan list. Mine is on the 16th. However I am going to phone and see if I can rearrange as I have just found out I need to take my dad to hospital (a different one 1 1/2 hours away) that morning. Hoping they might bring my appointment forward! I will be almost 13 weeks if my dated are right so they can't put it back much more...fingers crossed

Sorry for your loss 2many

My 20wk scan is 13th Sept @ 9.20 fortunately- we booked it at the 12wk scan & I was pleased to get a nice early slot!

Your dates won't change at 20wk scan Scottish as they don't consider them to be as accurate at that stage so stick with the 12wk measurement.

Thanks Ready. I guess I'll go with those dates then! If little one is anything like me, he'll be a few weeks late anyways!

I'm so sorry 2many

So many of you have your 20 week scan dates! I didn't realise...think I'll have to chase again. I go on hols for over 2 weeks when I'm 20+1, so I've only got one day of opportunity!

2Many so sorry for your loss

I got my twenty week scan date at my booking appointment today. I can't remember when exactly its for, but its the first week of October. I'll be closer to 21 weeks than 20 I think.

Hi didn't get my 20 w app at my dating scan today. Nurse that drew my blood said it would be mailed out to me.

So sorry 2many

I have my 20 week scan on the 12th September when I will be exactly 20 weeks.

Last time I got given my 20w appointment at the 12w scan, booked at the same hospital so hoping it's the same process. DH has got a few days off around the end of September/beginning of October and I might be able to arrange it for then.
