August 2019 4: All the scans and hopefully the end of nausea

[ScotsBaby2]

Hi all

Welcome to the new thread. The list of names is HUGE! It might be a better idea to start a new list after 12 week scans so we have up to date due dates. It also allows those who have bad news but don't want to share it to leave quietly if they so wish.

I don't even have a scan date! Hurry up and end first trimester.

@Elmamadegatita that's such good news. Like you say the risks of cvs can be so daunting!

We had a NIPT (like harmony but not harmony) done privately as I was worried that my age (also 38) would trigger me as a high risk.

Will your harmony test be on the NHS or will you have to pay? In our area if your 12 week screening came back as high risk they do NIPT free of charge before doing the CVS.

We only opted to go private as we wanted the reassurance sooner rather than later, we had the test done at 10 weeks.

@CalmerComber DC1, due 17 August
Had my 12 week scan today, watched it bounce around.

@Elmamadegatita I had the Harmony test done last week, still waiting for the results. I had it done privately because I'm 39 so I'm pretty sure I will get a high risk result from the combined test.

Just adding myself on to the list :)

When my friend was pregnant a few years back I remember she couldn't stand it when people would randomly touch/feel her bump without asking and I couldn't understand why she was so against it.

Well I know do!

A lady at work has just come up to me and felt my (not very showing) bump! And asked if i could feel anything?! Now I may be sensitive to people touching me out of the blue but does anyone feel the same?

I did say you're currently just touching fat as I'm not showing at all! 😂

@mrsRyan15 we have to pay, but I am so happy to pay for it if it lowers our risk of miscarriage!

@abw94 That is so out of order or her! I hate people touching me and will have no problem swatting their hand away! The other day a colleague came running over to me shouting "hello baby!" at my non existent bump (its just fat). I just said "no". She hasn't tried again!

Hello everyone!

I finally found this thread, there are so many for August!!

13+2, due on 12th August. Had my 12 week scan yesterday, all good!

Thinking of all the ladies who had bad news, I know how you feel xxx

@abw94 may I be added to the list please? August 4th!

Adding myself!

Scan this afternoon went well, EDD 14th, DC3 :)

@abw94 I would hate that I’ve barely seen anyone lately except for immediate family and very close friends perks of not working I guess and no one has been inappropriate I’m dreading the first random touch I like my own space 😒😊

@rachyrach300 Me too, 12th of August! I got very excited when I saw your post 😂😂😂

@abw94 when I told my boss at 5 weeks she patted my stomach and said that I should give her all my nice clothes because I'll never be skinny again. 🧐
It was possibly the most awkward experience of my life.

@Bakingabean exactly what I thought! The worst thing is she's only just started with us so I hardly know her. I've made it clear to all of my colleagues to not even dare touching my bump and I will tell them when they can!!

I wish I was in your position @bubblegumunicorn I was definitely an angry pregnant lady today haha! Just swat the hand away if anyone comes near you!

@avacadooo that is awful!! What did you say? I would have probably say there in shock

@abw94 I just stood there really awkwardly not knowing what to do. I'm still confused by it 😂

Aaaah my aunt did that to my belly of fat and I didn’t like it one bit. If random colleagues start doing it I’m definitely going to make it known.. but what is the best way to? I’m so paranoid about drawing ill feelings from people.. I’m a lousy people pleaser!

Sorry ladies one more annoying question from me. I’m slightly worried I’ve seen a sudden increase in hair fall. Last three days. I’m 14+4 and finally seeing a decline in nausea and wondering if the hair fall is associated with the falling hormones? I hope it’s nothing to be worried about. Should I be concerned? I’d always heard that hair fall reduces during the entire pregnancy...

@abw94 why are people so awkward? One of the bosses at my work said to me when I told him I was pregnant “oh so you conceived on your honeymoon then” er yes I did but honestly mate 🙈

@trimusical! How exciting. Have u had your scan? Is this ur first? X

@rachyrach300 had my scan yesterday, first baby! You? x

Hi all! It's been a busy day here!

@Elmamadegatita: my sister had the harmony test done as she's had experience with fetal abnormalities before and she said the non invasive part was the biggest selling point and came back with more accuracy. They say it can take up to 14 days so don't worry if it takes a bit longer than a week.

I've had a few achy belly symptoms and I'm feeling like I might need some more support when I'm working out. Anyone have a good running pregnancy clothing they'd recommend?

So exciting to see all your lovely scan results! So pleased the news seems to be very positive. For those needing further tests, I have everything crossed for you!
I still haven't told any of my family - 11 weeks today. I'm thinking I'll wait until my 12 week scan , even though my 8 and 10 week scans were great, I'd rather wait.
Has anyone else had very mild cramps? I would describe mine as very mild period cramps.
I also swear I can feel a fluttering feeling! Surely it's not the baby but it does feel strange.
Everything else is going great but my mind can't help but find something to worry about 😅

Really great to see all the good news coming in from the 13 week scans. Mine's not for another 9 days but I got my Harmony test results back this afternoon. Low risk on all trisonomies, I'm so relieved. Also found out it's a girl - I have 2 boys already so I can't quite believe it!!
