Hi girls, I've set this up to move on over! 👶🏼

@lilypad88 I will thank you. Hoping I can get a scan quick enough he said it will be within 3 days. Just worrying that the bleeding is getting gradually heavier:(

Hey everyone,

Hope you're all ok!

I was just wondering for those of you who have had early confirmation or early gender scans did you do this at your local private hospital? The private hospital local to me that I used with my 1st pregnancy has temporarily stopped baby scanning so just wondering if I maybe I need to travel further afield. X

@Hopefulmummie I Hope you're ok 😘

@doji789 I use a place called window to the womb. It's a chain so might be one near you.

@babyg123 thank you. Bleeding still there and getting gradually heavier :( counting down the mins until gp opens and I can ring

@babyboom1990 they haven't been overly bad just like mild period cramps and backache

@Babyboom1990 I'm hoping it's normal too. When I rang out of hours the dr couldn't stress enough how normal it was
Half 8 x

My cousin bled pretty much every day in the first and second trimester! It was so scary for her but she has just given birth to a baby boy! I think bleeding is really common! Hope you are ok hun xxx

@lollipop93 thank you it is good to hear reassurances. Hoping I can get in for a scan to put my mind at ease

@Hopefulmummie yeah def best to get checked to put mind at ease. It is scary to see it, but it does help to know it’s not always a bad sign!

@Hopefulmummie hope you are ok and the gp provides some reassurance for you xx

Thank you.

Just off the phone to the gp who wasn't that helpful. Just said if I went for a scan now they probably wouldn't be able to see anything and normally they only scan after 6 weeks. She said she would refer me anyway and if anything changes or bleeding gets heavier to go to a and e

I might ring the early pregnancy unit myself and see what they say

@Hopefulmummie Your poor thing 😢 I’d call EPU yourself. Speaking from personal experience, they won’t scan you before 6 weeks though. They might get you in to take bloods every 48 hours though, to check if your HCG is rising or not - so that could be better than just waiting it out?

@terribleimagination I rang there and just waiting on a midwife ringing back. I have heard of people getting scanned before 6 weeks but I know they'll not be able to see much anyway

@Hopefulmummie oh hun... how frustrating! I really feel they let us down in this period of pandemic seriously.... hope you're okay

I'm gonna have my first pregnancy appointment via call with the nurse this afternoon, I don't even get the point of it, what is she gonna tell me or do without seeing me oO

So my hospital isn't taking anyone in for scans due to coronavirus :( just said I'll have to wait it out and they will ring me back next week to see how things are

I'll be 6 weeks on Saturday so feel like booking a private scan just to put my mind at ease

@babyboom1990 great minds lol I have one booked for 8 weeks but might book a 6 week one

@Hopefulmummie yea I would, if you can afford it and can't bear the wait it's defo worth it

hey ladies, i'm going to be 8 weeks on friday... SUCH a foul mood today, keep just yelling at my poor DH and our little boy who's just turned 3. NOT PROUD OF MYSELF but why oh why isn't everyone just putting me to bed with a cup of sweet tea?? ok, as a write this I'm sure that's what I need so I'll just do it for myself and solve the problem

my top tip this time around for all the upset stomachs is 2 Biokult tablets a day - they REALLY help, if I don't take them in the morning I'm so gassy and unsettled by the afternoon that I definitely take them then! everyone's different but for me they're the magic beans :)

sending loads of love to all, especially anyone who is worried today. hoping for good outcomes and healthy little blueberries X

@Babyboom1990 they have appointment available on Sunday so might book it. It's terrible that you have to pay to get answers during this time
