Feb 2019 Thread 5: 12 week scans and the start of the second trimester.

[maxiflump1]

New thread ladies: number 5 already!!

@Lookingforadvice123 Yes I had mine at UHW. The letter came through on Monday. There were two pages - the first one was a letter just saying low risk but the second page had measurements and gave the odds for the risk (1:xxxx). If you don't want to see that page, could you ask someone else to open the letter and take that bit out? The envelope was stamped as being from the health board.

I went to a pregnancy information evening last night and the midwives were recommending an app called Baby Buddy. I haven't tried it yet.

Thanks lanalawr. No I guess if it's there in black and white I'll look at it. I just wonder why they've changed how they do it...

@LookingAtTheStars89. Yes I had my scan first thing this morning! Everything is great. Seen her little heartbeat as well as lots of movement from her arms and legs. She is just amazing! When is your next scan/MW appointment? Xx

@bubblybrit beautiful scan pic!

I'm still waiting for my appointment 😭😭

@DragonFlew do you not have a date yet? How many weeks are you?

@AliceRR I'm 11+3 today! I had my booking last week and mw said I should have a letter through by Friday with a date and if I don't get one to ring and chase it up.

Someone phoned me this morning to book me in for my booking appt on 23rd - despite me having had it last Saturday! Doesn't bode well for organisation on their end, hoping I don't have to wait that long for a scan!

Thank you @DragonFlew. Hope you get your scan date through! I’m 12+5 today and this is my first nhs scan so hopefully yours will be within the next week or so 😀

@DragonFlew It will come, just keep chasing. They have to scan you by a certain date (14+1 is it?) but I know it’s frustrating as I had to wait as well. My booking in and scan are on this Friday at 13+4. Luckily there were someone helpful at my go surgery who also helped by chasing it every day for me.

Is anyone else feeling really emotional? I keep crying at the stupidest things! I will be crying at Peppa Pig at this rate

@craftymum01 I thought I was doing ok but I cried at Bing last week... Unfortunately that is a true story...

@aliceRR I think I will call tomorrow if I haven't had the letter by then, just to prompt them before the weekend. I think the last day for the nuchal screening is 13+6.

I cry all the time. Was mid Conversation with my other half the other day and started. Wasn't even a bad conversation, maybe what do you fancy for dinner and I cried. He was like what's wrong?!? I was like I don't know!! 😂

Deffo more emotional! Which isn't helped by all the things to think about and prepare!

I haven't been emotional yet really but have had moments where I just feel annoyed for no reason lol

I have had both: emotional sometimes and irritable at other times 🙄

I got a bit emotional today told my team and rest of work other than managers today they were all so nice I almost cried there and then lol

Had my scan today and have been put forward a couple of days so I’m 13 weeks exactly. Due 13th Feb. We’ve had so many early mc that I just can’t believe that we’ve got this far. Dd is delighted to be a big sister.

Funny isn't it how different
People are with pregnancy :)

The worry sets in again as the build up too the 12 week scan Monday!!

aww @somethingfornothing we are due date buddies :)
Glad your scan went well

I have no patience too. I work with children so having to keep my cool and then come home and rant away.
Andddddd breathe.

@lanalawr can I ask what the Bing episode was? I have an encyclopaedic knowledge of them all. I'm definitely a bit more emotional, a lot more short tempered.

Oh me too @Baby160P I just shouted at DH but not washing up pans from last night. Even though I had used them. And had been off work all day. And DS was at nursery.

I think that is the epitome of unreasonable

@SerialPlantKiller In my defence (not sure it's much of one) it wasn't a normal episode. It was the theatre show of Bing and the first time we'd taken dd to the theatre. Still felt like a muppet though.

I’m glad to hear i’m not the only one bursting into tears all the time - thought 2bh it was mostly all the stress of breaking up with my partner and moving half way across the country but think it’s also hormones to boot.
