11 weeks 5 days symptoms have gone

[Sammy2002]

I'm 11 weeks and 5 days had loads of all day sickness the usual niggles I had sex morning
before 11 weeks 4 days and I've had sharp shooting pains in my virgina on and off all day doesn't hurt when walking around only when sat down now I've had nothing don't feel sick just stressed out and worried don't have the pain anymore not bleeding or getting any pains do u think I should ring my doctor had my scan at 9 weeks 3 days and there was a bean with a heart beat but I won't get another till 20 weeks as I'm in UK sorry I'm going on just worried any help would be grateful

I just had my first scan I didn't ask for the screaming scan as it says they take fluid from the womb which can cause miscarage

I meant screening scan not screaming

@Sammy2002 no that’s only if the risk comes back high they can do further tests which you can decline. The first screening test is just taking measurements and stuff like that.

Sammy, no, the procedure where they take fluid from the womb is not part of the usual 12 week screening scan/tests. What you just described is amniocentesis, an entirely different procedure. You would only be offered this if the results from tour 12 week scan etc came back as high risk. The screening tests at 12 weeks only involve a scan and a simple blood test from your arm. No chance of miscarriage. If you'd like the usual screening tests, you must phone up asap and tell them you hadn't understood properly what it involved and you would actually like to book it now. Do it ASAP as it needs to be done before 14 weeks. Someone is not making sure you are correctly informed. Please sort it out today if you'd like the 12 week scan x

Sammy I’m from the U.K., I had an initial dating scan where they dated me at 8 weeks, I was then given a 12 week scan and a 20 week scan. You are entitled to a 12 week scan.

It sounds like they haven’t clearly explained the process to you. They only take fluid from the womb if the 12 weeks scan and blood work from your arm come back high risk - even at this point you can decline the fluid being taken from the womb.

You should really sort it out ASAP that you get the scan you’re entitled to. It will also help put your mind at ease that your little one is growing well

I had my ‘12 week scan’ but we realised I was 8 weeks and so they have rebooked me in for 12 weeks as they can’t do the screenings when baby is that small... maybe just double check with midwife?

I've spoke to midwife team they say the dating scan can be from 8 weeks to 14 weeks then the nxt scan will be at 20 weeks I've tried to explain this but not getting anywhere cos they found the baby and heartbeat at 9 weeks 3 days they said nothing else and gave me a letter for the 20 week scan midwifes are saying the same I'm in bradford

You need to explain to them that the details of the screening tests were not properly explained to you. Be very firm with them.....tell them you declined the 12 week screening tests based on a misunderstanding of the procedure. And that now you understand and would definitely like to have the 12 week screening. The dating scan is a different thing altogether. The screening test and scan can only be done between 11 and 14 weeks. If you want this you must insist that now you'd like to be screened and you wouldn't have turned it down in the first place if you had properly understood x

P.s. tell them that you turned down the screening tests when you were offered them because you misunderstood and thought there was a miscarriage risk. Now you know that's not the case, you'd like to have it now. I feel like they may not be taking the time to listen to you properly. Please stand up for yourself. You are entitled to the screening tests. Make sure you call it the screening tests and not the dating scan. X

I don't want the screening as it involves getting fluid out of the baby in the womb and it has risks just wanted another scan they said if im worried ring doctor or get a private scan but there so expensive

Sammy, no, it doesn't. You need to re-read the previous replies, as a few people have explained the same thing. The screening tests at 12 weeks involve a scan and a blood test, taken from your arm....no risk of miscarriage. The fluid from the womb is not offered to women unless the results from the 12 week screening come back as high risk. You have not had the 12 week screening yet. X

I've had my appointment with my midwife who took my bloods and urine sample and they told me I was o negative etc then I got an appointment for my first scan which they dated me at 9 weeks and 3 days they keep telling me I don't have another one till 20 weeks I've asked 3 times with the midwife

What has happened is that you've had a dating scan. Sometimes people have their screening tests done at the same time. But in your case, it was too early for this as the screening needs to be done after about 11 weeks. They have at some point asked you if you'd like the screening tests too, and you have said no, because you thought this involved taking fluid from your uterus (it doesn't). So this is why they are now saying you don't get another scan until 20 weeks. If you'd said yes to the 12 week screening, they would have made you an appointment. If you'd like the 12 weeks screening scan you will have to tell them you've change your mind and that originally you didn't understand what it involved.

If you have the 12 week screening, this is what will happen.....you'll have a scan where a measurement will be taken at the back of your baby's neck (just measured on a computer....no needles). They will take blood from your arm. These results, with your age, will be combined to tell you if the chance of your baby having down's or other disorders, is high or low risk. If low risk, no further action is taken. If high risk, you'll be offered the test where fluid is taken from the uterus, and this will tell you for sure if your baby has any problems. The other, previous tests don't diagnose in this way... They only give you acrisk percentage. You can decline this test.

Does this help? I hope it's a bit clearer. If you would like the 12 week scan to check your baby's risk for Down's syndrome, you just need to explain that you didn't understand the tests and risks and mixed up the screening scan etc with the later tests you'd be offered if baby is high risk. Tell them you now want the 12 week screeninh scan and test. X

P.s. there is absolutely no risk of
miscarriage with the 12 week screening, so please don't worry about that if you decide to ask for it. You could always read out the first part of my reply above to your midwife , if you feel she is not listening to you properly. I feel like nobody has taken the time to properly explain things to you, or make sure you've understood properly.

I feel like nobody is listening tbh just cos I'm 17 I will get my mum to phone the midwife Monday maybe they will listen to her I will give my consent so she can explain thankyou

Yes, it sounds like they are being quite dismissive. Nobody had double checked that you understood everything properly. They deal with all this stuff day in, day out and seem to forget it's all new to most people, and explain all the tests/procedures etc, too quickly.
Do you understand now where the problem has come from and how the miscommunication has come about? You declined a test because you didn't fully understand what it involved, and based on that, this is why they are now saying you are not due another to 20 weeks.
Good idea to get your mum to phone up, and make sure you both understand now exactly what you are asking for. You want the 12 week screening tests and would not have said no in the first place if you had understood what it involves. The test where they take fluid from your womb is only offered further down the line if your results from the 12 week screening scan etc come back as high risk (very unlikely). Otherwise, everything goes on as normal and you have another scan at 20 weeks.

Do let us know how you get on when your mum calls again. X

I will let you know on Monday what gets said I'm hoping my little bean is still OK in there just so anxious cos of everything like the pains after sex in my virgina and now my sickness has gone its a scary thing been pregnant but thankyou for your help

Good luck and try not to worry. As people said before, symptoms do tend to start disappearing at about the stage you're at, as the placenta starts taking over.
