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.

@lickencivers oh I'm losing weight, I'm petrified I'm doing something wrong. This is my second baby, and I put 3 stone on in the last pregnancy.

I'm struggling to eat anything remotely healthy except apples and bananas, everything else makes me gag!

I'm sure by the 2nd trimester I'll be back to eating like a pig again!

Hi all, checking back in on the new thread. Due 4th august.

Im so so sorry to hear all the sad news, my heart goes out to you! I was there back in july and it is just earth shattering news. Mind yourselves xxx
@beardandabump i'm so sorry to hear about your uncle xx

I spent the day with my best friend and her baby (5 days old) and it really just makes you reslise that despite the nausea, tiredness, insomnia, and general life consuming anxiety that comes with pregnancy... we are really so lucky to be here. Best of luck to all those with upcoming scans, and lovely pics to all recently scanned!

12 weeks scan went well, baby measuring a week ahead now but I'll stop with you lovely ladies if that's OK. Very relieved and hope this gives some reassurance to the those who don't have many symptoms (I have hardly any, which I'm grateful for in one way, but it does increase the worry in another way).

My thoughts are with those who have had losses, after going through so many over the past couple of years I know how it feels.

I can't quite believe it, tbh.

@ABearandABump I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle. Sending you hugs.

@marajade12 that must have been so scary, i hope you're feeling a little better by now. Rest up and good luck tomorrow x

scan in 12 hours 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Hi Ladies,

Took me a while to find the latest thread for August 2019 - but here I am! Due August 19th give or take!

I had my first scan yesterday at 10 weeks and all is looking great. First time mum here, and going it alone which is scary but I'm feeling positive that I can do this. Struggling with nausea for about the past 3 weeks, so ginger tea and ritz crackers are my best friends!

Looking forward to sharing everyone's journeys :)

@unicorndust17 great scan picture! So happy for you! What's your new due date? Are you very end of July like me?

And good luck today @clairelee17 & @emma1224 !

Also I hate insomnia. Woken at 4 by the dog wanting to get under the covers (she's had a haircut and got cold!) and I haven't been back to sleep. So fricking tired!

@Bakingabean yes, 28th July... What's the yours? Are we still due date buddies?

Good luck @clairelee17 & @emma1224 thinking of you both - and anyone else with scans today xx

Congrats @LauraJustMe and welcome x

@CalmerComber

For your list

UnicornDust : 28/07/19 DC2

Hey everyone!

Kind of embarrassed to admit I’ve been lurking since the early days but only just posting today. I wanted to wait until all was confirmed at the 12 week scan which was yesterday.
Currently 11w5d and due 9/8/19 with DC2.
Sorry to have read about people’s losses and troubles

@unicorndust17 I'm 29th July so not quite but nearly!

Have you told your colleagues yet? I did yesterday and one lady has already asked me how she gets my job when I go on leave! She actually stood and questioned me and then went to see our boss to ask. 😯

@Bakingabean wow 😂😂

Lovely scan @UnicornDust17

Good luck to all those who have scans today ❤️

Oh wow @Bakingabean! Think she might well be what MN calls a CF?

Only my immediate boss knows and that because I had to have so much time out of the office before Xmas for hospital and drs appointments and off sick, and felt I owed him an explanation.

Plus I had to declare the medication I've been on incase of an accident

Lovely scan @UnicornDust17 ❤️

I can't remember last time I had a restful nights sleep just tossing and turning all night, my scan is 4th I'll be around 11 weeks as I ovulated later but midwife had to go off LMP, getting anxious but trying remain positive. Good luck to anyone having scans today xxx

Hello All

I dropped off the first thread due to an early pregnancy scare. Have missed you all.

Had my 12 week scan on Monday just gone and all was well. My due date is actually 31st July apparently! So I don't even belong on this thread anymore

Can't believe you're now on fourth! - I've missed so much

Further to my previous post, got some bad news I'm afraid! I had a missed miscarriage and the baby stopped developing at 5 weeks - obviously sad but what is meant to be is meant to be!

Good luck everyone and enjoy your pregnancy, every day of it!! xxx

@BakingBean wowzers!!

11+4 and utterly exhausted

Any one else experiencing odd things, like my BP is normally (and even in other pregnancies) been acceptable at 120/80 and with this pregnancy Im sitting at 100/50 complete with dizzy spells and feeling faint, had a hot shower and then needed to lay down afterwards, and its scary AF!

@Bakingabean blimey she's keen!! I wouldn't have been to keep my mouth shut!

I'm so sorry to hear @lmason17
I was really hoping you'd have a different outcome. Take care and spoil yourself with a bit of shopping and a giant piece of cake.

@Floriday: welcome!

@lmason17: I'm so sorry for your loss.

@lickencivers; I often have low blood pressure. Try having some salty crisps as that always helps me.

@Bakingabean: that's very keen! Saying that, I had colleagues hovering around my desk like vultures when I went on maternity leave the last time seeing what they could get their hands on.

So my 12 week scan, not all entirely good news but I’m ok with that. No sign of heart defects this time though which is a massive relief ( had to tfmr last pregnancy due to heart complications)
Baby was very naughty and would not stay still so scan took ages. Baby’s bowel was noted to be on the outside. They said it’s quite common and normally goes back in by itself. Has anyone else had this?

I’m back for another scan in two weeks time, then scan at the Foetal Medicine Unit at 16 weeks then another scan with the cardiologist at 19 weeks as I’m am higher risk for heart issues (eek!)

I don’t think I’ll be able to fully relax until 20 weeks 😓

@lmason17 I'm really sorry. What a lovely message that I will take to heart. Wishing you well for the future.

@marajade12 I've not heard of this, but it sounds like it could work out ok - I really hope so. I had fortnightly scans for a different issue in my last pregnancy and it is terrifying. Hoping all goes well for you.

@lmason17 i'm so sorry for your loss xxx

@marajade12 fingers crossed all goes well my dear! Keep us updated!

How is everyone else doing today? Xx
