Ooh, tomorrow @justkeeprunning5?! Good luck! 🍀 As others have said I know what you mean about the build up to a scan, you feel for weeks like you want it and then when it's on you it's so scary you'd almost rather not. You have no reason to think there is any problem though. I had almost no symptoms in first trimester. You will be fine. Send us an update!
@Lily999 I didn't realise you'd had a miscarriage just before a 12 week scan before. So sorry. By next week though the risk is down to under 1% though so keep positive. It is hard isn't it, after all the IVF treatment I think we all worry more than normal.
Speaking of which, had my 16 week MW appointment today, over the phone. Basically consisted of me running through a risk of niggles (lightening crotch, anyone been unfortunate enough to have that yet?!) and her telling me not to worry and all of them were normal. Apparently even including my weight loss. I presume they would have more tests/Doppler, etc in-person but it was over very quickly on the phone. Not necessarily the most fulfilling if I'm honest! 😂 Brave yourselves if you also are having phone ones.
@Viletta one thing she did push hard one was discomfort I'd described in the bladder. Apparently UTIs are super common in pregnancy, and one of the best things you can do (other than massively hydrate) is wear cotton underwear only. Is that why you orders yours? If not, good side benefit!
