Due in June, 12 week scans happening and coming up!

[VeganMama83]

Starting us off!

Thanks Hazy x

Dizzy Mainly had it done because our IVF clinic were pretty convinced my MC in Feb and MMC in July were due to chromosonial problems (although we will never know for sure) and I am a huge worrier after such a tough time. I don't have my 12 week scan until 19th but had hoped I'd have the Harmony results by then. Fingers crossed it's good news for us both x

Mrs I knew it was someone! So your second vial was no good from your first draw either? I think it's highly likely mine will come back the same. Fingers crossed for your second blood draw x

Bringing up the rear... 11w today!

Not so far in the rear RoseBud. I'm now due 28th June after my scan but am being rescanned on the 15th (at just 12 weeks! they had no other free slots).

This is my scan! It was at 10 weeks though not 12 x

Lovely scan pic Pugs. Congratulations!

Morning! Been awake since 3.30 after going to sleep at 9.10... I think I've read every long form article on the internet this last month. Recent highlights - head injuries in American football, Jehovah's Witnesses, the personal lives of all footballers I could think of (that was a Wikipedia rampage. Lionel Messi is a good egg!), various cults, the Moors Murderers, the life and times of Lord Longley, fentanyl abuse in America, the psychology of casino designs, opinions on Marina Abramovic...

How's everyone else been sleeping? I do realise I'm a pampered princess compared to anyone with kids to look after!

Sorry not been on here, not been on fbook page either for a week, was reading sad entries and it got to me a bit, selfishly it made me panic about my own babies and I needed time out, I am still going to limit my time on these forums as they seem to impact on my own feelings a lot.

I have kept busy researching cloth nappies and diving into Xmas preparations head first.

Congrats to all who have had lovely scans and so sorry to all awaiting results and any bad news.

We're doing lots of family stuff this weekend. Going to see my brother and his lovely wife tomorrow for first time since sharing the big news. We're making Christmas wreaths. Starting to feel v Christmassy as I've taken week before Xmas off so only a few days left at work! Probably a bit more emotional anyway with scan coming up! Trying not to get too excited/nervous. Only three days to go! Eek.

Morning!

I've been sleeping ok weirdly and don't feel as tired recently either. Haven't been falling asleep in front of the to in the evenings as much.

mumofthree hope you're ok. Pregnancy is such a worrying time, I can't believe I thought everything would be right with the world once I was pregnant! I hope nothing I've said has upset you, I needed to get things off my chest but the last thing I ever wanted to do was put the frighteners up anyone else.

It's my weekend working late shifts so I'm chilling out this morning and might wash my car in a bit as its COVERED in muck and salt (looks like one of those fancy matt effect paint jobs right now as the salt is so bad!). Then I'm at work 1600-0100. Ugh. Thankfully I've got four days off from Monday to look forward to.....hopefully will get everything bought and prepped ready for Christmas.

We're putting the Christmas tree up today, really looking forward to it but not sure what our 18mth old is going to do to it
I'm still getting these horrendous headaches. Asked the midwife and she said it's the maternity hormones and all i can take is paracetamol. Well they might as well be placebo, the effect they're having!!
Loving the scans , anyone read up on the nub theory for sex. I'm obsessed...... We're not finding out at 20 weeks but I'm still trying to work it out from my 12 week scan

Adler, I'm not doing well on the sleep front, all of a sudden this week i have started with really sore, achey hips on both sides. Ive started lying on my side with a pillow between my legs for support, but it's not really helping. I'm waking up due to the pain on and off all night and crippled first thing in the morning. I have started doing some hip stretches to hopefully help it and taking paracetamol. Hoping to God it improved! Lol

Hi mumofthree I think you are right you know, we need to share our good news as well as our worries!

My good news is I have a bump! Only visible to me as I have a sizeable belly already but a bump. And i'm certain I felt a kick last night followed by a couple of somersaults! I was dozing and the wee movement inside woke me up so i'm sure that's what it was

Cannot wait to find out the sex of my babies on the 21st

15+1

Babies?? Baby!

I've been lurking for a while - 12+3 but not quite convinced I am pregnant (despite heartbeat at 8 week private scan) and very nervous for dating scan on Tuesday.

How long do the trisomy tests take to come back? We've not told the family yet and are seeing them at the end of the week... I have visions of telling them then getting high odds. So hard to know what to do.

If all goes well I'll join the FB group - I'm sure it is but just want to check that it is super secret squirrel? i.e. Could people see that I am a member (apart from other members obviously!)

Hi all
15.5 here, can't believe how quick the weeks have gone since we told people at 12weeks!
Sleep is cack here - I have been falling asleep around 9pm then waking at 12 and 3 normally to go to the toilet! Problem is I quite often don't get back to sleep very easily at the 3am wake up!!
Can't wait for next Saturday will be finding if boy or girl

Adler it was a bit but all over now and a relaxing weekend planned. My sleep has been OK, was up at 1.30 eating cheese and thankfully not getting up too often to wee.
Hair bobble to do up jeans technique has been deployed today, hoping I can hang on to after Christmas before buying new clothes, am barely managing the essential Christmas shopping

missis I'm doing the same today, it's really helping but I have to keep checking my hoody is covering my open fly so people can't see my hideously brightly coloured knickers!

Welcome ikea, nhs guidance says you must be told you results in 3 working days if you're high risk and I think it's 2 weeks if low risk. So, I had my scan on a Wednesday and I had a call from the screening midwife the following Tuesday. Try not to worry about your results, I know very well it's easier said than done but it's actually pretty rare to have one if the conditions even if you come back as high risk. After my experience though, I will say if you do have any concerns then hold back telling people until after your results. Only my parents knew I was pregnant (and DP's closest family) but then after the scan I told everyone. A week later I get my screening results back and now I'm faced with somehow having to tell everyone if it's bad news. So if you think you can hang on a few days after the scan then I would (after the mandatory three working days you can probably safely assume you'll be ok I would say). Good luck for your scan.

Oh and yes, the FB group is private!

Thanks dizzy.

I'm only 26 so the risk is fairly low but I've been getting through every stage from TTC to now by planning for/expecting the absolute worst.

I think we will tell parents after scan as if something is wrong I will need their support over Xmas.

I'll have to let myself get excited at some point!

I have had a busy week so haven't managed to get on here for a bit, its lovely to see more scan pictures and I'm sorry to hear of some worrying results, I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything is ok for you.

We got our screening results this week, we are considered low risk for all 3 syndromes, the risk of downs is 1:599 which tbh is better than we expected for my age but we have since had a debate about whether to go for NIPT too. I think we have reached the conclusion that we are low risk and not to put ourselves through another week or 2 of worry if it isn't necessary. It's so difficult to know what to do for best isn't it!

We've still only told our parents as we didn't want to tell anyone else while we were waiting for the screening results, it's been very difficult to hide at Christmas parties! Ikea I am the same, I feel like I've been keeping a lid on my excitement.

Ahem. I'm not very good at checking in on this thread... sorry . Sorry to hear that some of you have a worrying wait for results. When we went for our scan Baby was lying in an awkward position (despite the sonographer's best efforts) so we couldn't get a nuchal measurement. Or see very much at all! Have to wait for blood tests ... which won't be taken until 3rd of Jan. That's next bloody year!

14+4 here... I was a size 14 before pregnancy. I've lost over a stone and a half due to HG and while I'm sure I just look a bit flabby around the middle to most people I'm aware my stomach is a different shape that doesn't match the weight loss! I already had to buy few maternity bits as my work look is very tailored and the trousers were uncomfortable when I tried them on. I've been shocked too at how expensive everything has been. I bought two pairs of tailored trousers and three blouses from seraphine and jojo maman bébé... nearly £200!!! I looked online Amy H&M and DP/New look and their clothes were too casual for work :( Jeans, leggings and tunics/T shirts won't cut it!

I went to work for the first time since mid October this week (Signed off for HG) for a few hours. Was quite scary being surrounded by so many people again!

Morning everyone

I've had quite a few messages about the FB group. I think I've dealt with them all so you should either have an PM for more info or you should have been added. If not, let me know!

The FB group is 'secret' so no one can see it exists unless they're in it

Hi I'm 12 weeks and went to my first scan on Friday. Baby looked ok but was in the wrong position for measurements do have to go back after Christmas. Feeling a bit lost to be honest as would love the tests to be done and then to tell us the score

Hi Mrs, i am exactly the same at night with regards to wees! Its so frustrating when you are tired. Our bathroom is downstairs as well, so a proper wake you up trip, just to go! We have decided to book a sexing scan for when i will be 17wks (2nd wk Jan), but we are going to keep the results to ourselves, let it be a suprise for our family and friends. How much is your scan costing? Mine will be £45 which i think is very reasonable tbh!

Phoebe that is reasonable ours is £79 i think!
The wee's in the night are terrible- I don't envy a downstairs trip though poor u!
I hate waking up in the night! X

Hi everyone, I went for what I thought was an early scan today (thought I was 9+2) but it turns out I'm 12+6 and there were three in there. I can't quite believe it. I have 5 y/o twins already and know that I'm more likely to have multiples due to a genetic condition but I'm still in shock. I suppose that explains why I'm showing (to me!) already. I haven't told my OH yet; he doesn't know that I went for the scan (I wanted to check everything was ok, he thinks I worry too much) so now I'm in a rather interesting situation. I went to get a bit of peace of mind - I was not expecting this. Anyway, I doubt I'll make it full term to June with you all, but I hope I'm welcome here anyway.
