I'm so pleased to finally share my own scan pics! Doesn't feel real yet but it was wonderful seeing him(?) Wave at us. Apparently we have a dancer!

@LandMammal

I had my scan, bloods and combined tests nearly 3 weeks ago and still no news....no news is good news??? but 3 weeks? 🤔 Anybody else waiting tis long? I have 16 week check on Thursday so will hopefully get some sense from midwife!

Is anybody else waking up very early, like 3-4am and struggling to get back to sleep?! I'm a walking zombie 🤪 2 young kids, work (from home thank god!) on 5 hours sleep.....🙈

@LandMammal are you Wales by any chance? I'm North Wales and she said to me this morning that if it comes back low risk then I won't hear anything and the midwife will go through it at 16 week appt. If high risk then they would get in touch within 10-14days. So no news is defo good news if you are Wales Smile

Good news @Aurora124!

@EmzG20 @Rosehips89 Lovely scans!

@ValidUser congratulations on finding out you're having a little boy Smile

Lots of lovely things in this thread the last few days!

Sam202020 · 09/09/2020 12:52

Loving all these scans ❤️ melting my heart! Had mine this morning and all is looking well, so relieved! I will post a pic for some guesses later x

c24680 · 09/09/2020 12:52

@Sam202020 I'm in north wales too and I was told the same, my scan was nearly two weeks ago and I've not had a call or letter.

I remember with my first baby I didn't get the results letter until just before my 16 week appointment.

Sam202020 · 09/09/2020 12:55

@c24680 There is a few of us then 😁 I felt like crying a bit when she said that 🤣 but obviously it's just they way it is done and any cause for concern they would get it touch. I just thought I would rather a letter next week than wait a month! Oh well, hopefully all is good.

chloxhunt · 09/09/2020 13:20

@c24680 at least no news is good news though!

SnickerdoodleSnek · 09/09/2020 13:35

Loving all the positive news today ladies! So glad everything is okay @Aurora124.

Ahhh this is just making me so impatient for Friday haha! Honestly I'm finding it so hard not to tell friends and family!

chloxhunt · 09/09/2020 13:40

@SnickerdoodleSnek all my friends know i just haven't told my family yet which I'm doing on Friday

Usplusone · 09/09/2020 13:42

[quote Rosehips89]@usplusone do you remember how to ease the pain? My instinct is saying a hot compress[/quote]
No sorry I just moaned a lot about it! Armpits, boobs, nipples were all super sore with my first. Not so bad this time if that helps! I don't remember it lasting past the first trimester though 🤞

Usplusone · 09/09/2020 13:43

@NoGinNotComingIn

I think I’m in the minority not finding out the sex! I like the big reveal 😆
Me too if I can hold my nerve!
holb54 · 09/09/2020 13:44

I'm so tired this week. I haven't been this tired the whole time, and I thought once I got to 13 weeks I would feel even less tired rather than more! Off on a holiday to Wales that is going to involve lots of walking next week, hoping my energy returns Confused

chloxhunt · 09/09/2020 14:21

Still getting light brown discharge but nervous I'm 12 weeks today :\

Phie04 · 09/09/2020 14:32

@chloxhunt don't be worried spotting is normal. As long as it doesnt turn red id assume things were ok. Is your scan this week?

chloxhunt · 09/09/2020 14:34

@Phie04 that's what i keep telling myself too! It happened when i was 8 weeks but this time round it looks more like dirty discharge and yeah it's on Friday luckily, I was excited for it not I'm really nervous

MrsAndMrs · 09/09/2020 14:45

@chloxhunt try not to panic (easier said than done!) But like the girls have said, spotting is noted as normal and its brown blood so not fresh. I started to get super anxious before my 12 weeks scan too, I think its normal to feel like that but just try your best to relax, Friday will come round quick x

chloxhunt · 09/09/2020 14:51

@MrsAndMrs yeah exactly! And it doesn't seem to be getting worse it's just there every now and then kinda. Friday better hurry up lol

MrsAndMrs · 09/09/2020 15:02

@chloxhunt Friday will be here before you know it! Hang tight!
