I’m so sorry @subo2018

@Subo2018 I am so sorry. What a heart breaking thing to have to deal with

@Subo2018 So sorry to hear that. Wish there was something we could say to make it better. Take care of yourself x

@Subo2018 I'm so sorry. I hope you have lots of support around you.

Booking in was a bit hit and miss if I'm honest!
My midwife spent most of the time on her phone, and discussed her issues within call, pretty much said I was one of those women who always have children. The student midwife was the same age as my daughter and gave me some lovely advice on breast is best and to always look my baby in the face bullshit bullshit.

Really pissed off with whole process to be honest, I had to give a breath test thing because I'm an ex smoker, over a week now Girls!!!

So yeah, me and DP pretty much pissed off with the whole thing, they wanted to know his ds's addresses and dates of birth etc. I do get it, all to do with the well-being act, child protection etc but blimey. I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT ME AND MY UNBORN BABY FFS!!!
Things change so often in processes, anyway will see her again in March as consultant led thankfully.

@k4rlyb wow hope you're ok now :( it's so scary. I fell down the stairs on Xmas morning and it is horrible!

@E2017 @Whichoneisit lovely scans! Bet you're both over the moon.

@Subo2018 so incredibly sorry to hear this :( take care of yourself we're here if you need to talk x 

@Gem173 I waited about 3 weeks for my scan date so sounds about right :)

So a few people have told me you have to pay for scan pictures in the NHS, is this true? If so how much did you pay?

I have my scan tomorrow however I'll only be 9+6 (12+3 based on LMP). Thinking they might change my dates again but secretly hoping they don't so I get another scan! I am so excited but also so incredibly anxious. I am coughing so much I feel so under the weather. Feel like I'm gonna upset the baby the amount I am coughing/wrenching.

with on call not within call

Really sorry to hear your news @Subo2018.

So sorry to hear your news Subo. Look after yourself in the coming days xx

@Subo2018 I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, have been thinking of you over the weekend.

@peterpanwendy We had to pay £6 per copy for a scan photo if you want one to take home.

@Stephiewoo I had to do a breath test too! I'd given up a year before conceiving, but did admit to a few cheeky smokes before I got my BFP.

Hope your scan goes well this evening @StrawberryLemonade!

@peterpanwendy we had to pay a donation for scan pictures when I was pregnant with my DD 10 years ago and I expected to do the same this time. Was surprised when the sonographer said there was no charge this time and I got two pictures. May vary in different trusts. I'm in Scotland so different NHS completely

@Stephiewoo I stopped smoking a few years ago but my midwife said they like to test everyone. The machines batteries had ran out though so I never had it done.

I've never smoked but had to do a CO test. MW said it's a new thing.

@peterpanwendy I’m in Scotland like @YouCantBeSirius so it might be different but they just had a donations tin on the reception desk for those who wanted to pay something for the scan picture.

@Stephiewoo- I’ve never smoked but still had to do the CO test. My midwife said they’d had people who hasn’t smoked but had a high level of CO due to faulty boilers and things so they test everyone just to be on the safe side 😊

Done a bit of research on our good old CO test!!
It's all to do with checking we are telling the truth, they will test you now in most appointments, if it's high or you say no they will refer you to support services.

I didn't get asked to do a CO test.

Scan photos are chargeable where I am. I think it was £5 for one, £10 for three and £20 for eight, or something like that.

Thank you everyone :), you're all so lovely. Have a lovely pregnancy and hopefully I'll see you on here again in the future

Thank you for all the replies re scan photos! Will make sure I take some change :)

I got my blood work results today. I'm just wondering what people think to my Down's syndrome risk. It says 1 in 960, I just assumed it would be lower than that. I'll be 33 at delivery. What does everyone else think?

@peterpanwendy I am feeling better thanks. Still have mild cramping though, my friend is a GP he saw me and said everything is ok but I could have the starting of a UTI could be why I have the cramping?! Who knows.

My midwife made me do a CO test.
We were charged £5 per scan photo, I'm based on Essex.

Attempt two at picture. Hopefully without all my details this time.

Meet 'Ted'.

@subo2018 - i'm so sorry for your loss x

@Stephiewoo - what an awful appointment

Can anyone tell me what a CO test is?

@peterpanwendy we’ve been told it’s £5 and to bring a card as they only take card!

@Stephiewoo oh my God that sounds awful!

@Hortonlovesahoo it's a carbon monoxide test. You have to blow into a think that's a bit like when you get tested for asthma. It measures damage done by smoking, but also other things that can cause damage like pollution.

I'm worrying myself silly about my scan tomorrow. What if I get there and they can't see anything? I swear my anxiety isn't normal I am more nervous than excited now I just want it over and done with!
