@KatyCherry23 Glad it went well :)

@KatyCherry23 so pleased to hear this, hopefully you can have a nice relaxing day now x

MrsAndMrs · 10/09/2020 11:02

@KatyCherry23 that's amazing news! So chuffed for you!

I completely forgot about the likelihood of infection, I was prone to them in my last pregnancy and right enough, they were super intense pain too. Hopefully they get to the bottom of it soon!

@KatyCherry23 that is absolutely amazing news xx

ChilternsHan · 10/09/2020 11:16

That's such good news @KatyCherry23! Really pleased for you. Do you still get to go for your scan next week too?

KatyCherry23 · 10/09/2020 11:21

Thank you everyone. I'm just waiting for the midwife to do all the tests. They put me in the quiet room because I didn't want to upset anyone by crying in the waiting room.

@ChilternsHan I still have to go for the dating scan because she couldn't get the measurements because the baby was sat completely upright and flipped everytime she tried to get a measurement.

chloxhunt · 10/09/2020 11:34

Convinced the baby is on the right keep feeling pressure on my groined on the right

holb54 · 10/09/2020 11:36

@KatyCherry23 great news, hopefully the bloods will get to the bottom of it and you'll get sorted 🧡

@Phie04 exactly, you're expecting it to glide over and instead the dig their whole body weight into you 😂😂

@holb54 trust me I get it, when i for my annual check up for my heart they proper press on my boob with it and omg

Sam202020 · 10/09/2020 11:40

@KatyCherry23 Aww great news! So glad that everything is OK for you and you got to see wriggly baby!

ChilternsHan · 10/09/2020 11:42

I was surprised at how hard they pressed! It was uncomfortable at the time, but I actually felt bruised the next day from it. The baby didn't want to lie in the right position so she was really digging around!

@KatyCherry23 lovely, a second chance to see the little one!

Phie04 · 10/09/2020 11:45

@ChilternsHan same with me I was so sore and tender the next day. It worried me at first thinking shed hurt the baby but I know they know what they're doing!

jopotter · 10/09/2020 11:54

@KatyCherry23 so pleased for you.

chloxhunt · 10/09/2020 11:57

@Phie04 @ChilternsHan I hope my nuggets in the right place if that's the case!

Phie04 · 10/09/2020 12:24

@chloxhunt even if they aren't they will bounce your stomach or make you jump up and down to make them move lol

JTB123 · 10/09/2020 12:25

@KatyCherry23 so glad you're ok xx

holb54 · 10/09/2020 12:28

@ChilternsHan I noticed that too, was sore the day after.. funny since I'm half afraid of knocking anything against my stomach for fear of damage and they're shoving on in 😂

@Phie04 hahah that's true! My friend recommended that i ate something sugary before to make them wriggle lol

Had my 12 week scan today - thankfully everything was looking perfect. Such a massive relief, after two losses I’ve been convincing myself all the way through that something was going to go wrong. Moved me forward a couple of days so due date is 20th March now Grin

Have a few pictures but don’t think I can see a nub on any of them - I do love a good gender guess! Although I’m convinced atm that it’s a boy. So impatient to find out!

Is anyone else having an early gender scan?!

@Calgoose congratulations!! Lovely pic! Yes I’m going to have an early gender scan, 2 weeks on Saturday when I’ll be almost 17 weeks. Are you going to have one? Xx

SnickerdoodleSnek · 10/09/2020 13:38

@KatyCherry23 so pleased baby is fine! Fingers crossed the tests will be okay too.

@Calgoose gorgeous scan!

Fellow Friday scanners, are you all as nervous as I am?? I've got a full day at school before my scan, and we've got a trip out for half of the day. I'm going to be exhausted by the time I get to the hospital! 😩

MrsAndMrs · 10/09/2020 13:51

@Calgoose aww lovely scan! Congrats! If I had to guess.....I would say a boy! 💙

chloxhunt · 10/09/2020 13:59

@SnickerdoodleSnek yes I'm so nervous about mine! I'm lucky that mines at 10am so it's practically first thing, think I'm more nervous about the blood tests😂
