@GreysLove @MrsAndMrs @Aurora124 @LuHen @

@ChilternsHan it's very upsetting. I've had to tell him whilst he's at work and now going to spend the rest of the day devastated. At least he will see the scan picture.

We're also going for a gender scan in 4.5 weeks so its not too long before he gets to see baby!

@Phie04 Oh no, that's absolutely rubbish of them to tell you so last minute! 😩

@chloxhunt Best of luck today!

@Phie04 that is such a shame! Are you able to facetime him whilst in there? They were recommending that whilst visitors were banned at my trust...its not the same but might help a little?

@chloxhunt hope your first day back is going well!

@MrsAndMrs @SnickerdoodleSnek thank
You!!

Hi ladies, just read back through the posts as I've not been on for a few days.
I've just been out walking with family and my ankle have way, I've fallen onto the pavement scraped all my hand but I also managed to land on my tummy I'm about 10 weeks pregnant. My tummy is sore, don't know whether I should go and get checked out my 12 week scan is on the 8th September

@Phie04 that's such a shame, telling you so late too! My symptoms keep coming and going and my private scan on Saturday went well so fingers crossed for you.

@EmzG20 You poor thing. They're well protected in there so don't worry too much but I'd ring your midwife for advice just to be doubley sure.

@MrsAndMrs facetiming is a really good idea thanks for the suggestion!

@spierse glad to see somebody else who watches RHOBH to relax

@EmzG20 I'm sure baby is fine but if you need peace of mind, contact your doctor or midwife and I'm sure they'll help ❣

@EmzG20 Oh gosh, hope you're okay! Just keep an eye on how you're feeling and call your midwife if you're worried. It's what they're there for 😊

@MrsAndMrs Facetiming is a great idea! I might ask at my scan if I can call hubby so he can see the scan. My anxiety will be through the roof going in without him!

@EmzG20 no harm in getting checked if you're concerned.

I'm ten weeks today. Next scan tomorrow. Sending off our NIPT on Wednesday. We'll find out the sex after that.

@EmzG20 hope you're ok and got some reassurance from your midwife.

Feeling a bit emotional ahead of the scan tomorrow. I had a dream last night that I had to go for it in a prison hospital and there'd been a violent attack in the ward. Then I got stuck in a lift... not anxious about it at all

@ChilternsHan what time is your scan?

Thanks for the messages. I haven't been able to speak to anyone today but have tried to rest as much as possible. I'll contact my midwife tomorrow if I'm still aching and unsure.

@Phie04 not until 3.50. What about yours?

Hoping I get my 12 week scan letter soon! Midwife thinks I'm 10+2 but I'm only 9 today, so I imagine I will be rescanned anyway. 🤞🏼

Absolutely amazing that some of you will know baby's sex very soon. That's lovely. We're hoping to find out at 20 weeks.

@ChilternsHan 9.30am! Don't know how my body will react to being up and about so early! Have been a bit of a couch potato since March 😂 luckily I start my new job in October so resting as much as I can before mayhem starts!

Best of luck with your scans @Phie04 and @ChilternsHan! Keeping everything crossed for you both.

Mine's next Friday and I'm a mix of dreading it and desperately impatient for it to happen! If all goes well we'll be doing the tour of telling family straight after so I'm hoping everything is okay.

Thanks @SnickerdoodleSnek I'm sure everything will be fine for next week!

Good luck to everyone with scans tomorrow. Looking forward to your lovely pictures.

just caught up after reading 12 pages worth of messages 🤪

Home births- MLU in the hospital are very nice (dimmed lights, radio/tv, ensuite, pool, cushions etc.) so if you live far from hosital or just want that peace of mind that emergency help is around the corner, then I'd highly recommend 💜 I am lucky to have had 2 v.quick stress free births at the units. They couldn't fill the pool quickly enough for me to have a water birth thpugh, so maybe 3rd time lucky 😅

Re-usable nappies - We use both disposables and re-usables (Milovia), found them easy to use and running out of nappies has never been an issue!!

@DSP21 I can empathise with the back ache. I had it bad for months post birth (weak core strength and poor posture) and my women's helath physio recommended yoga with Adriene (free on youtube). She has some prenatal stuff on there too. I found her a god send with my last pregnancy m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho9em79_0qg

Ah good luck for your scans today guys, will be thinking of you both.

@LandMammal thanks for your words if wisdom - always great to hear from someone experienced! We are lucky to have two lovely MLU close to us too, they look really nice!

Thanks for the good luck wishes!

@LandMammal big yoga with Adrienne fan here, although I lost a bit of confidence practicing and knowing which poses were ok in this first trimester. But you've reminded me I should pick it up again!

@Phie04 @ChilternsHan OMG it's the long awaited scan day. It's going to be such a long morning and feel totally sick. X

@Babafarmer can't believe it's here. The anxiety is real this morning, hoping I can distract myself with work but not sure how successful I'll be!
