I just got my BFP on the 9th June, and I'm calculated due 18th Feb 2018. Anyone else with similar dates out there who'd like to share the ride?
Current symptoms are tender, larger boobs and mild, intermittent 'cramps" In my left abdomen (more like a poke than a cramp!).

Hi. How's everyone doing? We should all be having out dating scans round about now.
I had mine last Wednesday and everything's looks fine, arms and legs in the air, having a whale of a time Grin

Jumping on this thread now... 13 weeks, due early Feb, have been v cautious as had 2 rounds of ivf but had lovely long scan and all seems well. I'm massive but not told work yet. Had already had 2 scans but feel like it's official now! Had horrendous sickness but easing off now, not sleeping well though.

Hi!

I'm due the 18th Feb, I've had two scans so far and due another one on Friday 😄

Feel free to drop any gender guesses you might have!

Hi blackcherries. I think I remember you from fertility boards. My pregnancy is an IVF pregnancy too. Don't get to see the baby again til 20 weeks which is waaaaay too long Saddp won't let me pay for early scan.

Does anyone know if I can finally stop taking folic acid now?

I'm 13 weeks and had my scan last Weds. I really struggle to take the folic acid pill every day - just putting it in my mouth ready to swallow it makes me retch and it's horrible. Not sure why - I haven't had problems with pills in the past!

sadie2017 · 31/07/2017 10:58

I thought you took it throughout? My doc gave me a prescription for 3months and told me to go back for a repeat prescription?

MarmiteAndPB · 31/07/2017 11:06

Oh no, really Sadie? I'm not sure I can manage it for the whole time! I thought that you could stop after the first trimester?

Hope that your scan today goes well!

cakesandphotos · 31/07/2017 11:24

I thought you could stop the folic acid at 12 weeks but it was advisable to take pregnancy vitamins all the way through? The pregnacare ones are like horse pills but fortunately for me, I used to take 75 tablets a week so one a day is a doddle Grin

blackcherries · 31/07/2017 13:38

Boots do a Folic Acid + Vit D one that's a really small tablet! That's what I'm taking.

sadie2017 · 31/07/2017 14:33

So I've had my 12 week scan and all is looking fab - super excited to finally be able to tell family and friends 😀

sadie2017 · 31/07/2017 14:34

My 12wk baby ❤️

Awww @sadie2017 what a lovely picture! I can't wait for mine but I have to wait until 13+2 because of a badly timed holiday.
So glad everything went well for you!

hfin1992 · 31/07/2017 20:58

Congratulations @sadie2017 that's fantastic Smile my 12 week scan is one week today, I hope mine goes just as well.

lafnak · 01/08/2017 08:59

Can I join? Due 19th February with my second. Not got scan until next Thursday, dreading it. Not got many symptoms and it's awful waiting. All fingers crossed - love seeing your scan photos!

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 02/08/2017 10:24

Congrats Sadie2017. That's amazing - such a good picture!

I had a scan on Monday at 10+1 and it was all good - measuring 10+3 and heartbeat pounding away! I had bloods taken for the harmony test too - nervously waiting for the results now. Hope everything is good in terms of results but also can't believe that I'll know if I'm having a boy or a girl in the next week or so! Then I can really start arguing with DH about names!

Good luck lafnak. The waiting is so hard but try not to read anything into how many symptoms you do/don't have!

Ah so lovely Anna2006. I so can't wait to have mine and hope it's OK. Smile

RockieValentine · 02/08/2017 17:33

Ah I love everyone's pictures.
I have my 12 weeks scan on Sat and hope to tell our family on Sunday on skype.........time difference.

Welcome @lafnak, I'm due 19th Feb also.

So looking forward to being able to tell people, we have had so many visitors and social events and not drinking and pretending is such a pain. Especially when I'm wrecked all the time.

RS123 · 02/08/2017 18:04

Hi, had a 10wk scan and all good - yay! Was so scared as symptoms had gone. Waiting on harmony results, like Lorelai. Baby was moving around and waving :)

hfin1992 · 07/08/2017 15:55

12 week scan this morning and all is well Grin I was so scared before hand and I cried as soon as I got in there. She had a little look for me before I could see and as soon as she said yep beautiful baby steady heartbeat the relief was incredible. Amazing experience Smile due 15th Feb

sadie2017 · 08/08/2017 19:38

Hfin1992 that's great news. It's such a relief isn't it. X

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 08/08/2017 20:24

Congrats on your scans, everyone! My scan is next Monday but we are going to a wedding with all of DH's family this weekend and staying with my family... It's our last chance to tell everyone face to face before everyone leaves on holiday and I really, really want to tell!!

laelti · 09/08/2017 10:01

Had our first scan last Monday, expecting to be 12+2 but now changed to 13+2 so moved up to Feb 3rd. Finally started telling people too! Starting to feel a lot more real.

Had the nuchal scan/bloods, though I'm confused if they actually took the nuchal measurement as it isn't noted anywhere and I was told baby was rather badly behaved in terms of position...

EricaSeas · 09/08/2017 13:28

Hi there!

Please can I join you all? I'm 13 weeks today (due on Valentine's Day!) and this is my 3rd baby (2nd pregnancy), my DTs are nearly 3. I've struggled with sickness so far but think it's abating a bit now and thoroughly looking forward to entering that blissful second trimester... Ha! I had my 12 week scan two days ago but still feeling quite nervous as I had a complicated pregnancy and birth with DTs, all looks ok though.

Hope you're all doing well, I'll go back and read now so I'm not totally clueless!
