20 week scan tomorrow...eeek!!

[CathyandHeathcliff]

Nervous is an understatement!

Words of encouragement needed please. I have to go into work first too. It's not until 12:15!

I haven't felt any movements yet I don't think, well nothing significant or regular which is making me worry but I think my bump has grown since 17 weeks.

Is it your first? I didn't feel anything until about 23 weeks (if they tell you your placenta is anterior it acts as a cushion so you don't feel the smaller movements).

I'm 19 weeks today with no. 2 and still not feeling loads, if I stop and concentrate I can feel some flutters but I know with my first I wasn't prepared to commit to definite 'baby kicks' until I was absolutely sure!

Congratulations, bump is looking good!

@WinkysTeatowel Yes it's my first!
Thank you.

This is what I feel movements wise, or what I think are movements. I feel it more when I'm leaning forward?
Also when my bladder is full, sometimes especially in the evening, little kick type feelings on my bladder area. It's not everyday though.
I'm trying to keep distracted today, gone out to my fave little village for lunch and a wander. I'm off work as it's an inset day at school and I'm not needed to come in. Just typical when I had to take some time off for tomorrow!

I don’t have any words of encouragement so to speak but I have my scan tomorrow as well and completely papping myself about it!

Good luck!

The only way I can describe feeling the movements is to sit and really think what is 'normal' and what movements aren't your stomach/pulse etc. It gets much stronger though, try not to worry.

We’re all in the same boat mines tomorrow too and bloody watching emmerdale has me shitting bricks I want tomorrow over with

@lovemyhorsesxo Oh no, I don't watch Emmerdale, what happened on there?

I had mine last Thursday and found out I'm having a 👶 girl..

Had mine today. I'm having a little boy baby is very healthy no problems. So i'm so pleased! Good luck tomorrow hun you'll be fine x

@riaviolet and @laurenluke2017 aww congrats to you both.
Did you feel any movements before the scan? (Are these your first?)

@CathyandHeathcliff I had a few little movements/flutters but not much I have quite a small baby too but very healthy. She said i'm bound to feel him more in the next few weeks. You'll be fine though, I literally eat whatever I want too! X

@CathyandHeathcliff - 👋 Hi
I'm now 21W and now starting to feel minor movements (flutters) and increased back pain!

Also it's my first one :)

How did it go? X

I got on great all healthy and well

Oooh, mine is tomorrow! Bit nervous, bit excited. I’ve been feeling a lot of movement which I find reassuring, but just worried now that I’m over-confident. Hope everything’s OK.
Not planning to find out the sex, but I’m sure we’ll be looking to see if we can work it out!

By the way, congrats to everyone else who’s just had theirs! How long did it take? Our 12 week scan wasn’t too long, but I didn’t realise we’d have to wait around after, then go for blood test etc too, so we were there for ages! Both got to get back to work again tomorrow!

Mine took about twenty minutes but that included me going for a wee mid way and a baby that did not want to stay still long enough for them to be measured properly!

Mine went well, everything fine and I'm having a boy.

Mine was like 20 minutes but felt like a year :P

All done and all fine - but we were there for ages! Baby wasn’t cooperating so the sonography right had me dancing around trying to get it to move.
There’s nothing more terrifying than the point when she’s doing the scan and keeps moving it around one particular point, tilting her head and frowning... I was convinced there was something wrong. Fortunately just trying to get an angle!

glad it went well Cathy - try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy now!
