💚 extra scans ❤️ 12w scans 🧡 20w scans

I got all the Emmas diary last year and you can get them 3 times if you go to boots and Argos for them. The app gives you 3 chances to get them. I've still got most of the stuff though in a big back and I haven't really used them. I think I have about 20 tubes of nappy cream and ten tubes of toothpaste lol xx

@Dipsy77 aaw lovely :)

I always used the wee nappy cream etc in my changing bag with my other children. I thought they were really handy. I never thought of getting 3 🤣🤣 might give that a try lol. I have the bounty app too and u can claim bags from them as well just the same way xx

@Catherinettc I definitely wouldn't say it's anything to be concerned about, everyone carries and shows differently, although I would think it's very unusual to have a more-than-visible bump at 5 weeks. It's not even officially foetus yet at 5 weeks is it? According to google the size of an apple seed so deffo not the baby causing a bump, but obviously just your body adjusting at a quicker rate than others. Everyone levels out eventually and most bumps tend to end up at around the same size. I think it also matters which way your uterus is tilted as to whether you show early or not. If you are concerned, speak to EPU or midwife team and you can always get someone to check you over xx

@LittleRa thanks for the sneak peek and I've downloaded the app... guys let me know if there are any other things I should be doing for freebies/knowledge I'm a complete novice... downloaded bounty aswell ☺️

@Cocoblue22 how are you? x

@blodyn91 my OH ordered me the Mama Mio stuff last night so I'll let you know how I get on 👌🏾 I've also got bio oil and have always moisturised full body with nivea everyday x

@Catherinettc You know your dates are right and it's not your first pregnancy so maybe your uterus has just rebounded 😂 I'm 14w with my first and can definitely still hide it from work and my family, the early days I definitely blew up more think the progesterone does that to us 🙈 when did you have your scan? Did they give you measurements? X

@Sausage1990 glad your first day back was good, working through the fatigue is the worst. One girl on the fb group was saying she just quit her job when she found out she was pregnant, what a dream 😂 Also amazing you've decided to wait for gender, I could never do it but think it's so fun when people do x

@Dipsy77 same due date and scan date as me ❤️ are your older DC boys/ girls or one of each? x

@Mococo1 enjoy your scan today - will be so amazing to see your bean again, although I did find the NHS scan a lot more boring than the private ones 🤣 x

Thank you ladies!

scan went well! Little bean is doing well..saw it do a full 360 somersault hehe! NT results seem good just waiting on blood test result for the combined figure - they said they would call if it's high risk! Sonographer said nub wise it's tilted up so a boy but she did it on her own kids and it was completely the opposite so said it's all rubbishXxx

@SmileyT agree private is much better! back to my original EDD of 29th March please🤣

@Sausage1990 naps are the best 👌🏽 I have four nephews and 1 niece so was hoping a girl for my neice to have someone to play with when older- but now changing my thinking to boy!

@Dipsy77 fingers crossed you do- I'm excited for that after 15weeks my Doppler is coming back out if the little bean stops moving long enough for me to get a stable pulse!

Hi Ladies,

I'm sorry I'm so rubbish at staying up to date on here but I promise I've not forgotten about you all!

I had my 12 week scan yesterday and was dated 12+6 so they've brought my due date forward 1 day and it's now 24/3/21.

Life has been manic hence my complete absence from the thread but I'm going to try and find the time to catch up on everything I missed.

Anyway, I hope you're all enjoying happy, healthy pregnancies! Xxx

@SmileyT all girls I would have no idea what to do with a boy lol. Xx

Thanks ladies. Called the doctor and I've been sent to be checked so will keep u all updated. Worried now that its not in the right place 😭😭 xx

Oh @Catherinettc I'm so sorry! I'm sure everything will be absolutely fine, but they take every precaution in early pregnancy as you can never be too careful!
Please just keep us updated but I hope everything is ok, thinking of you xx

Let us know how you are @Catherinettc

Chances are everything is fine but it's always best to get checked x

Panic over ladies!!

Not ectopic. Wee tiny sac in the uterus. They are bringing me back in 2 weeks for reassurance and measurements etc.

Maybe I can finally relax. Thanks so much for helping through my wee psycho episode 🤣🤣

Just waiting now for blood results and this bloody cannula out (surgery etc was mentioned before the scan so just precaution)

I'm starving now 🤣🤣

I had the exact same thing don’t worry
I’m still feeling mad and anxious about everything
Glad your ok my dear and a little more reassured

Glad you're okay @cathertinettc and you've got a little baby sac in your uterus... Its snuggling in & making itself comfortable 😊

I got home from work about 1pm today and went for another nap, because pregnancy fatigue is REAL and being back in work is harder than I thought...but I woke up from the most horrible dream. I dreamt that I woke up in a pool of blood and baba was no more. I woke up in a bit of a panic and threw my sheets off 😲 thankfully it was all a dream and no blood or anything but jesus talk about an anxiety dream 😬🙈

@Sausage1990 that sounds awful
Think I have enough anxiety without bloody nightmares

@Catherinettc awww yay glad this has reassured you and it will be nice in the next few weeks to go for reassurance and see a little time heart beating ❤️

Longest day ever 🥱 but finally back from hospital, 1.5 hr booking appointment, down as low risk so can give birth in the maternity centre not hospital and I have a scan date! 28th of September, which is my first scan at 12 weeks and Im suddenly shitting myself!

Glad all is ok @Catherinettc always better to get checked out
@Sausage1990 I had the weirdest night of dreams, it must be worrying about today. Been awake sine 4:30am need sleep!

@blodyn91 that's great news about being low risk and your scan date 😊 we scan date twins lol I have mine on the 28th too (except I'll be 11weeks) I'm nervous too but I'm sure it'll be fine 💕

Get some sleep & recharge after your long day - you definitely need it!!! Xx

@Sausage1990 Ill acctually be around 11+3 from my predictions. Yes to being twins!! 🤗 Welsh twinnies

Also I did ask about feeling dizzy, my blood pressure was fine so she thought it was low iron, which my mum and sister had. This is what my sister drank to help if it interests anybody else

www.spatone.com/en

Forgot to say ladies hcg came back at 3000 so happy enough with that.

Doctor laughed said well ur definitely pregnant 🤣

Cant wait to start hearing all about ur scans soon ladies!! So exciting xx

@Mococo1 yay to a healthy scan, somersaults 🥰 and a final EDD 👌🏾

@Noble89 ahh love your little announcement so cute and creative, it's making me want to do one but think I'll wait until 20weeks 😂

@Catherinettc glad all was well and everything is progressing as it should, probably just your body bloating and little one has got loads of room ☺️

@Sausage1990 sounds like an awful dream, I've definitely had a couple of these... but I'm sleeping like a log now I can never remember my dreams 🙈

@blodyn91 yay to a scan date, don't be nervous... everything will be fabulous, you've been smashing this pregnancy lark 🙌🏾

@blodyn91 haha yay welshie scan twinnies 💕 love that. We can be nervous together lol. Glad your BP is ok, & iron deficiency is so common in pregnancy so hopefully easy enough to manage.

@SmileyT yeah it was awful. It was a nap dream which is why I think I remembered it / woke in the middle of it. I'm sleeping like the dead in general. How are you managing to keep your pregnancy such a secret still? I mean only my family know but I'm so impatient to tell more people... I mean I'm obviously waiting but it feels like time is on the go slow. You have such patience keeping it quiet. Xx

@SmileyT its a mansion in there 🤪 🤣🤣 x

@Mococo1 Great news on your scan.

The fatigue and general shittiness is real. I've been working late every night this week and crashing into bed around 9pm.

As well as managing the kids spellings, reading, swimming lessons etc. This week is determined to break me.

Kids have obviously got colds from their first week back at school. So DH clearly now has the same cold. The kids have been able to crack on by DH is simply dying and can't sleep so therefore keeping me awake. I could strangle the bastard sometimes.

I feel rough as hell because yes I've also got the same cold but funnily enough can manage to continue life without sighing loudly every five minutes.

I'm gonna book some AL I think, even though I've just had some in place of what was supposed to be my holiday. Just need a day off to regroup, although I know I'll end up cleaning the house as that's fallen apart without my dedicated attention for two days.

Sorry all I do is whinge in here 😂

Looking forward to my scan on Tuesday so that's getting me through.

And as @blodyn91 recommended- Spatone is amazing for low iron. Doesn't bung you up plus you absorb more as it's water based.

@Catherinettc I'm really pleased your scan and bloods went well!
