Can start posting a bit more now - had an early scan today due to bleeding last two weeks and...im 7+4 nice strong hearbeat.

I thought i was 8+1 so out by a few days by my periods are strange ones so i suspected i was a few days under anyway.

Was relieved for all of 5mins. Now back to panic haha!

Carolina80 · 29/01/2017 15:40

Gingerbreadmam I was the same. I thought having an early scan would calm my anxieties and keep me going until 12 weeks. I felt reassured for about a day and went back to worrying again! I underestimated how anxiety ridden the first trimester would be. I expect our hormones must affect us too.

HellsBellsK · 29/01/2017 16:47

Im the same Ginger & Carolina I got a scan at 7+5 all looked great. The day after I started panicking again. I have another scan on the 9th and I am counting down the days!
Iv stepped away from google!

Gingerbreadmam · 29/01/2017 17:05

Ha hells i have one on 10th too. My sonographer was very sensitive to my history and has booked me in for then for extra reassurance.

I have a small bleed under the sack which looks like implantation. She said the fact it's underneath means it's nothing to worry about so here's hoping!

HellsBellsK · 29/01/2017 17:22

Everything is crossed for you. I had a bleed so I was very worried going in.

Im all to familiar with different outcomes with our family history so I think thats why I am very nervous. I even said it to my consultant so I think she is babying me a bit.
The only thing we can be is positive!

Travelgeek · 29/01/2017 17:38

London, your DM sound like hard work. I hope she behaves a bit better since your DH got mad with her.

Lules I hope you're feeling better now you're rehydrated and that they've given you something for the vomiting.

Ginger that's great news on the scan. Won't be too long to wait for the next one now.

Urgh. I feel like such a wimp. I haven't vomited at all, so its nothing compared to what some of you are struggling with, but the constant nausea is really starting to drag. Its definitely getting worse as I find myself heading to the loo and dry heaving now. I am dreading work tomorrow as I've been useless all weekend but will actually have to get on and get stuff done.

Gingerbreadmam · 29/01/2017 17:50

Thank you.

I know, well least we should see things ticking along nicely!

n0ne · 29/01/2017 17:52

The nausea is definitely worse this pg than with DD. It just lasts all day, I'm so bored of it. And the tiredness, my god. But I'm 5 years older so that could be a factor!

Think I'm gonna tell work tomorrow - dreading it. I only started there 5 months ago, and there was a bit of a cull so now there's only 4 people in our dept. I run my entire section singlehanded, and they're implementing new systems so we can manage with less people, so that's extra work/training that needs doing in the run up. I think my line manager's head is going to pop! He's due a DC2 in July himself!

Travelgeek · 29/01/2017 18:05

Good luck telling them tomorrow n0ne. If my new line manger is around tomorrow I'm going to tell her too. I don't really know her yet since she only started in the new year, but she's got 3 young ones of her own so hopefully will be positive!

OkyDoke · 29/01/2017 18:09

Had my early scan today! Well not so early i am ten weeks tomorrow. It seems i was a day out but will double check at 12 week scan. Due date is 27.8.17 now. I feel like an imposter on this thread haha. All well though!

Lules · 29/01/2017 18:28

I'm back home with some lovely drugs. I feel a million times better but very tired. If I get like that again I'm to go back to A&E. Not quite sure what to do about work tomorrow.

OkyDoke · 29/01/2017 18:42

Glad to hear youre back home Lules. Is thete any chance of ringing in sick?

Lules · 29/01/2017 18:52

I'm not technically meant to be working tomorrow but had to take Fri off because DS was sick. I think I'm going to work from home tomorrow and take it easy and go into work on tues for a bit (again not meant to be working) to catch up. I can't face a long train journey tomorrow.

Frillyhorseyknickers · 29/01/2017 18:55

Does everyone have early scans? My friends who have recently been through pregnancy have just had their 12 & 20 week scans. Do I need to request early scans?

EssentialHummus · 29/01/2017 18:58

frilly I only had one because we paid for it - DH curiousity plus my low-level anxiety because my symptoms had eased off.

OkyDoke · 29/01/2017 19:01

We paid for our scan too. General worry and curiosity!

ZylaB · 29/01/2017 19:13

frilly mine is a standard early scan because I'm diabetic. I feel so behind everyone!

Shwighty1 · 29/01/2017 19:26

No early scan here either. 12 wks booked in for the 21st!!

Frillyhorseyknickers · 29/01/2017 19:29

Thanks - I'm with Nuffield Health rather than NHS so I'm paying for scans regardless, just wondered whether I should be enquiring for earlier scans. I suppose what will be will be and I'll wait see what I'm offered on Tues. 😬

Amz26 · 29/01/2017 19:36

Glad you're home and feeling better lules I think it's a good idea to take more time off if you need it! It's so important to make sure you're looking after yourself :)
Frillyhorseyknickers I paid for my scan too, but I think you only get a scan before 12weeks if you have health issues or previous history of MC or problems in your previous pregnancies

Amz26 · 29/01/2017 19:37

ZylaB how many weeks are you? :)

WLMcI · 29/01/2017 21:06

Back from the US the other day (rather unwell on the plane back as the high winds in Dublin made landing a b*^tardit made me so grateful I haven't got MS!). We told the ILs and SIL tonightSIL cried via Skype, she was so happy! Also told my direct line managers (they job share) for H&S reasons, as I get dizzy if I'm standing too long (and I normally stand all day). They also proclaimed themselves delighted for me, which is so kind Smile That's it, everyone else waits for 12 weeks.

Lovely to hear all the positive scan news!!! I haven't got a booking letter yet for the 12 week scan, but it should be sometime in the 3rd week of Feb if they manage to run on time; apparently they're "a bit behind" so it could be a week later. I'm American (originally) so I'm just amazed at how it's all freeeeeee! Having a baby in the US, normal pregnancy and normal birth, costs many thousands of dollars if you're uninsured and many hundreds in deductibles if you are insured. Some hospitals charge you a fee to cuddle the baby, no word of a lie! Thanking my lucky stars and trying to wait patiently for 12 weeks...

Also London, are you sure that's not my mother you're talking about? The one who left both of her daughters distraught and crying on their respective wedding days? And who a week ago talked all about how my brothers were circumcised at birth in front of my Northern Irish DH, then asked DH "do they do that over there too?" "Er, not by default, no." So now poor DH and both my brothers know the state of each others' Williams... I feel for you, in short! Just under-share if you can is my advice--like there's NOT A CHANCE she's getting to hear the baby name choices before it's a done deal. Nope.

calimommy · 29/01/2017 23:28

Anyone having post-coital bleeds? I just had a significant enough one, it took us by surprise. More than just spotting, I don't remember anything this much with the other pregnancies... so so hate the first trimester.

Herewegoagain31 · 29/01/2017 23:45

cali yes I had one with DD at 12 weeks. Panicked and went to dr who did a scan and all was well, said your cervix and area around the blood vessels are v plentiful and v close to the surface so can be easily disturbed by DTD. Saying that def keep an eye on it but hopefully only DTD related

ZylaB · 30/01/2017 07:47

Amz I'm 6+1, due on the 24th Sept :)
