12 week scan :)

[Sparklesandglitter]

I've just got back from my 12 week scan with baby no. 1 :) OMG it's feeling very real now :) can't believe how active baby was!!and I saw baby having a drink :) so excited :) :) :) x

Yeah Congrats, sounds brill! haven't had mine yet only 9 weeks but cant wait :) Must be very strange to actually see it :)

Congratulations! Such a fantastic feeling, I carried my little pic everywhere with me and spoke to it! (Seemed more 'real' than thinking was actually in my tummy somehow.)

Congrats! I've just had my 12 week scan on Valentines day.. very excited and carrying my pic in my handbag! x :-)

Congratulations! The 12 week scan is so exciting, wait until the 20 week one when baby is even bigger :)

At my 12 week for DS and DD they were both asleep in a little ball and I had to jump about so the MW could get a good look. DS was awake for his 20 week and went to sleep during, I had to go back at 22 weeks to complete it and during that scan he flopped his legs wide open just as the scan began, was the first thing the MW saw - good job we wanted to know what we were having as we had no choice there! DD wouldn't move at all for her 20 week scan, she was tucked over my hip with her legs flexed over her head, I had to do jumping jacks and all sorts!

Same as CBear, with dd at the 20 week scan she was curled up in a ball. The guy kept smacking her with his scanny wand, she would unfurl, stretch and curl back up again. DS started his scan by spreading his legs and having a wee.

Isn't it amazing what you can see?

Congratulations.

That is so exciting, congrats!!

Im waiting for the date of my 12 week scan to come through - Im currently 9+5 and have got my first MW appointment on Monday.
So excited about that - it will make it even more real!!

Amazing!!

Congratulations! My bean was awake at first then feel asleep after 30 seconds at the 12 week scan.
Sonographer started bashing away at my tummy, i got all protective ' don't hurt it!' haha!
20 week scan is 18 days away! i am really suprised my work collegues are being so nice, what with my constant daily countdown, they must like me!

Cheers every1 it's all very exciting!!! x

Ooh so exciting! Mine is on March 6th! xx

Penny, we are scan date buddies!
I will be on here that evening sharing it all, lol!
I am so, so impatient, my husband is already sick of my baby drivel

Me too!!! He's the only person I can chat to about it do he's getting bored! What time is yours? X

15.20pm! i have to wait allllllllll day for mine!
Our poor DH's! maybe they should set up a support group
I have been badgering dh to treat me us to a private scan, 12-20 weeks is so long!
He isn't budging on it, although he said we would go for a meal afterwards
What time is yours penny? do you have an inkling for what sex it could be?

Ahh you've got lots of time to top up that bladder!! I had an early scan due to threatened m/c so have already experienced the agony of a full bladder and the joy of seeing the heart blinking! Are you having the downs tests done? We are and this is one of my main reasons for not telling anyone until sure everything's ok. Fingers (and legs!) crossed!
Mines at 10.10am and husband had to battle to get time off to come so really glad he can be there! I'm so excited to see more of a baby shape than the blob I saw before and mainly excited about finally shouting it from the rooftops!! I'm in a big show in mid march and none of the cast know which is sooo hard to conceal! I've just ordered engraved photo key rings for our parents with "I'm going to be a grandad!/grandmother!" on (I'm not sure what my MIL will want to be called) and will put little scan pics in for them. Because of the show we're having an "early mothers day" taps nose and will give them to them then. It's their first on both sides and they will be absolutely ecstatic. When are you telling yours? X

sparkles glad to hear your scan went well.

I'm due to have my 12w scan this Wednesday excited but also nervous at the same time! Just wondering how long is the scan usually? And do you get the results straight afterwards? Thanks.

I have got my 12 week scan date through - 7th March, whoop!

Just one question, I've read that you can buy a picture of the scan - anyone know how much they are and if you can buy more than one? Thanks!

They are about £3-4 and it varies from hospital to hospital on the number you can buy. Give them a call and check? X

Thanks Penny!

it's 2 quid each at Tommies
