Is anyone first time mummas or is this baby #2, 3... ?? Xx

@EyesOfYuna congratulations. This is my number 6. My eldest is also 18 and youngest 6. I'm due 23rd May. 3 weeks after my 2nd eldest turns 17. I also feel nervous especially because of my eldest I don't know how he's going to react. I'll be 10 weeks on Sunday so I've told my hubby that I think we should tell him once I get my 12 week scan but would like to hold of 2 Xmas morning b4 telling the youngest one. But I think my 13 year old daughter has her suspicions.

Thank you @EthelTheGoose.

@Michellefamily Congratulations!
Our children all know, there's been no hiding the sickness and my 9yo was really worried I was sick. 18yo dd surprised me, thought she'd hate the idea but is so excited and asking to be my birthing partner so don't worry prematurely, he might surprise you.

12 week Scan tomorrow morning I'm so nervous

choccychar · 22/10/2020 14:28

@StrawberriCream good luck tomorrow, mine is also tomorrow. Excited and nervous but mostly can't wait!!

EthelTheGoose · 22/10/2020 14:40

@Choccychar @strawberricream good luck to you both!

DiabeticFirstBaby · 22/10/2020 17:12

Had my 12 week scan today, measuring 11+6 so due 7th May! Everything looked fine. I too was super nervous! good luck for your scans tomo!

EthelTheGoose · 22/10/2020 17:38

@DiabeticFirstBaby congratulations! It all seems a bit more real after the first scan, or at least it did for me!
Is this your first too? Will you be finding out the gender? How is covid affecting things where you are? My DP wasn't allowed in for the first scan, but should be allowed at 20 weeks.

DiabeticFirstBaby · 22/10/2020 19:17

thanks @EthelTheGoose Yes first baby, deff feels more real after today, so lovely! Yes think we will find out the gender, i'm a planner!! what about you? My DH can come to all of my scans, including my extra ones for my diabetes so really lucky, that may all change I guess depending on how covid increases. The numbers in the hospital are increasing quickly. That's good your DP can go to the 20 week scan tho.

CatLady20 · 23/10/2020 10:16

Hey all, got my first scan on Wednesday, measured 11w1 so due on 9th May, all looked good! Bean was very wiggly so all my pics have the head looking really strange as they kept waving their arms 😁 it was very amazing

Michellefamily · 24/10/2020 07:26

@EyesOfYuna thank u. I'm hoping so well I just gt my appointment for my 12 week scan 4 the 9th Nov so. It'll nt b long now till we hv 2 tell him. I've been sick since the weeks b4 my missed period and my 13 year old said to me the other day that there must be something wrong with me 😂 I just changed the subject. My 6 year old has started watching a mummy and baby program with a song in it saying mummy's got a baby in here tummy. 😂 So can't wait to tell here but I'm definitely going 2 wait till Xmas morning as the elfs r leaving here a balloon to pop with the scan pic inside it and a Tshirt saying Santa's prompted me to big sister. So Xmas can't come soon enough.

SpringDream · 24/10/2020 08:51

Hi ladies can I join?
Had my 12 week scan yesterday and due 2nd May. Took over an hour to get my scan as baby was doing headstands so I was sent on a long walk which worked!
I've had really bad HG but today for the first time I haven't yet been sick so crossing everything that this is a sign that things are improving.

Chance2020 · 25/10/2020 15:29

How u feeling now @SpringDream?

Glad to hear your scan went well @DiabeticFirstBaby, how u feeling?

How u feeling @choccychar how did your scan go?

choccychar · 25/10/2020 16:40

@Chance2020 ah thanks for asking and remembering☺️. It went well thank you, I'm a few days behind were i thought and am 12 weeks today. All looked fine and had all the screening bloods so want to wait for that letter/news. Had flu jab whilst there which pleased about as was on my list of things to do at the doctors but so easy to have it done there and then.
How are you? Hope everyone else is doing ok?
It still hasn't sunk in for me yet!!!! I was so relieved it was real and an actually baby was there but still I have to keep looking at the pics to confirm it to myself!!

Semele5069 · 25/10/2020 17:32

Exciting to see all the scans happening! Mine is in the morning and I'm so nervous about it and the screening tests. Still can't let myself get too invested until those are ok!

Chance2020 · 25/10/2020 18:35

@choccychar
Mine is Thursday coming.
I should be 13 weeks that day.
Feeling alot better, more good days now, getting anxious about the scan! It can't come quick enough tbh!!
Yeah I bet, until they start kicking its Gona be a weird waiting game isn't it.
When's your 20 week? Just before Christmas?
Sounds all good though for u!! I bet you were glad to have the flu jab!

@Semele5069
Good luck for tomorrow.
Hope it goes ok, let us know:)

choccychar · 25/10/2020 19:25

@Chance2020 ah good luck for Thursday. Don't know why I'm in denial tbh! But v excited all the same! Worked today and feeling quite rubbish this evening - think it might have to be an early night!
Yeah 20 weeks is booked for week before Xmas. Feel like xmas isn't far away but that scan is! But also will be halfway by then which just seems surreal. Think it'll be lovely to big over winter and not peak summer though!

@Semele5069 good luck tomorrow. Let us know how it goes. I feel the same - can't relax until screening results are back.

DiabeticFirstBaby · 25/10/2020 19:38

Good luck for Thurs @Chance2020 I'm sure it will put you mind at rest more when you see the little one moving around,
We decided not to have the screening tests as wouldn't want anything invasive. Hope all looks ok for you tho.
I feel fine, less tired and my insane grumpiness seems to have settled but boobs still sore and getting more bloated, my skinny jeans are staring to feel a bit tight, not sure when I should start looking at maternity clothes, i feel like I don't want to tempt fate! 😳

HotDiggidy2017 · 26/10/2020 08:19

Hi all, been lurking for a while and have loved reading everyone’s experiences so far, finally joining in :) I’m 12 weeks tomorrow and have my dating scan on Thursday eeek :) anyone got any tips for it?

Also, if there’s a May 2021 Facebook group I would love to join!

Rascalia86 · 26/10/2020 12:49

Hi hi! Got my 12 week scan in just under two hours time. Very excited and nervous at the same time. I've already bought a few bits, anyone else started shopping? 😁

elh06 · 26/10/2020 13:13

Hi everyone - I have my 12 week scan tomorrow and the anxiety is setting in! I was practically in tears getting on to the bed at my private scan at 8 weeks I got myself so worked up!!

Good luck @Rascalia86 let us know how you get on? I haven’t bought a single thing yet.. think I’m waiting to get tomorrow out the way first!

Rascalia86 · 26/10/2020 16:00

Hi all! 12 weeks and 4 days! Due 7/5/21! Two arms, two legs and strong heartbeat! So happy!!! 😊

May babies 2021
DiabeticFirstBaby · 26/10/2020 17:15

@Rascalia86 congrats! great picture! i'm also due 7/5/21!! will be induced end of April though. I haven't bought anything and probably won't until after the 20 week scan, I just don't want to tempt fate.

elh06 · 26/10/2020 17:48

Congratulations @Rascalia86 so glad all was well :)

Rascalia86 · 26/10/2020 18:09

@DiabeticFirstBaby I just can't help myself. 😅 we put a deposit down on a travel system a few days after we found out, not intentionally, but they did us an amazing deal.

@elh06 thank you. I'm so relieved, I've had some scares over the last week or so, but seeing the baby on the screen, wriggling away, was incredibly reassuring. 😁

Michellefamily · 27/10/2020 06:22

@Rascalia86 ❤️❤️ My 2nd eldest birthday is 7th May. I just wish I didn't have to wait another 2 weeks. Something just doesn't feel right with me the last couple days 😔
