My 12 week scan is on 23rd September and i am literally counting down days!
Time is soooo slow...

Had a loss in December so very excited and anxious at the same time to get to the 12 weeks mark.

First time mum too 🥰

Anyone else waiting?

Gosh I know the felling!!!
Mines on the 24th when I'll be 13+4, it feels like a lifetime away.

We've not had a private scan or anything so we're holding out on telling anyone until this scan.... such a long wait!!!

I'm going mad waiting for the letter! 10+3 today and hoping it comes before I go on holiday at the weekend - so much easier to have a date to work toward. It's probably my own fault it isn't booked - I put off my booking appt after having losses in Jan and April at 8 & 9 wks. Past that hurdle thank goodness! So nervous about this one - especially as an older first timer. Told my Mum and my boss at 3 wks! They've both been absolute rocks this year and I know I'll need their support whatever happens. It feels like such a huge milestone doesn't it?

I am also FTM and have my scan on 23rd September too when I’ll be 12 weeks. Have had private scans already with partner. I’m excited for this 12 week scan but also apprehensive as he can’t be with me due to the what I deem unfair Covid rules Sad

Mine is on Tuesday, I’ll be 11 weeks and a few days but unsure exactly. This is my third pregnancy and in my first two I’d had bleeding so was scanned at 6 weeks both times. This time I’ve had no bleeding so not had an early scan and it feels strange waiting so long. I wanted to go for a private scan with my partner but we’ve just moved so haven’t had the chance. I figured if everything was ok at the nhs one we could both go to one afterwards. The ones near us seem to be pretty booked up!

I'm on the 24 th and first time mumma too have had a lot of sickness and currently in hospital being treated. Also had an early scan at 6+4 and they dated me the same due 4 April

@TravelGem
@Whatthedoodle
omg you both are so patient.
We had the last private scan last Friday i was 9w6 but measuring 9w3. But it was such a relieve to know all was good.
Are you having combined screening at your scan?

@Mimba1 i think it's ok to tell people. As long as you'd be comfortable sharing a bad news...
I told some close family too.
But hopefully only good news this time!
Have you chased for your letter? Have you had a booking appt yet?

@Olive1701 like you i should be 12w1 by measurement on 23rd and the wait is agonising! My symptoms have eased off massively since last scan so getting even more paranoid 😒
I am not in the uk so lucky to be able to have DP with me. I cannot imagine how stressful it feels to have to go alone...

@Tiff94
You poor thing. Hope you are ok.
It's supposed to get better when placenta takes over, hope it happens for you.
My nausea has completely stopped the past few days luckily. But it also gives me some anxiety thinking symptoms have disappeared.

I have started a countdown on my phone 😆

@SunnySideUp2020 I’m having combined screening, I’m not sure we’ll make it in the window for the nuchal translucency as I’m not 100% on dates and potentially a few days early for it. I suppose they can always rescan though!

I have had horrific nausea, no actual vomit but my lord the nausea has been debilitating. Today’s quite a good day though. The relief is good but I feel your pain with the anxiety, that’s the only thing that gets me through feeling rough because I remember it’s a sign that things are going well.

@SunnySideUp2020 for me telling people was a given - I hid my first MC and felt so ashamed. My 2nd was even worse but I had people with me to support and help me heal and I've decided that for me it's healthy to share the important stuff whether bad or good. Now I'm hoping I'll have those people with me for some good news!

I had my booking appt last Friday. NHS scans (external thankfully) at 7wks (measured 6+4) and last Tuesday at 9+1 (measured 9+0) and everything was fine so hoping all is well this time. I've definitely felt more ill this time!

We must have similar dates and my nausea has also eased off - I've been sick/dry heaving every day for the last month and last week I felt awful 24/7 - even in the middle of the night. Yesterday and today I've felt queasy but it hasn't been as bad and I've been able to control it with breathing exercises. Hopefully we are the lucky ones with a nice strong placenta taking over relatively early on!

Hi, i am 9wks+4 i have had such a rocky road already, i had my second lletz surgery in January, fell pregnant in May but miscarried about 3 days later, i then fell pregnant again within 2 weeks so had so many mixed emotions and just couldn't really accept that it had happened so soon, i started getting cramps around a week later so had an early scan which confirmed everything was ok, but i was still not convinced so the lovely ladies at the EPU offered me another scan 2 weeks later which confirmed again that everything was ok....but im still sitting here worried and cannot wait for my next scan.
I have also been informed that due to my surgeries i will be monitored closely from about 15 weeks to make sure my cervix is holding if not i will need to have it stitched, but now every slight ache or pain i feel i worry that its my cervix.
I know i probably sound like im overthinking everything, but i really cant help it.

Mine is also on 23rd! I can't wait...... feels like an eternity away! Good luck x
