First Trimester Scottish Mamas

[TheDaydreamBelievers]

Thought it might be an idea to create a splinter group as the main one is getting massive!

Im 5+3 weeks, first time mum
Midwife telephone appt 13/10
Scan 03/11

Feeling burpy, bloated, and anxious!

Mine is 3rd nov! A lot around the same time.

I was really worried because my nausea and fatigue disappeared about a week ago and haven't returned but today got to see our wee one at 8+6 with a lovely strong heart beat!❤️

My next one is 2nd! Lots close together!

@HeyDW96 looks lovely!!

@Buffbeag oh really? I’ve never heard of an app before!

I’m guessing my bloods were fine as I never heard back from her and nothing was mentioned at my scan

Aw how lovely @HeyDW96!

Oh god you are all making me jealous now, my next scan isn’t until 10th December, starting to wish I booked that private gender scan in November 😅

So exciting to hear everyone's scan dates coming up. We have a private scan on Sunday and our dating scan in the 11th November.

Has my face to face with mw today for my bloods and everything and set me back up on the app.
Is everyone using the app?

I have not seen the app. What is the app?

Also I was feeling smug about being quite symptomless but the last 2 days I feel AWFUL

I'm on the maternity notes app. No paper anymore.

I still don't have my scan date yet 😫got my booking appointment on the 17/11 by then I'll be 12 weeks 😳

@TheDaydreamBelievers your midwife should give you the information to access the app and your maternity notes

@HeyDW96 thank you! They told me I'd need to pick up my notes after my scan so I'm wondering if GGC are still doing paper notes?

@thedaydreambelivers think the app was rolled out in 2018 (ish) I had it for my last pregnancy when it was still relatively new but your mw should set it up for you.
It's so much handier to have defo

@butterfly193 I was 11 weeks when I got my booking appointment and will be 13 when I get my first scan. It's hard to not be impatient lol

I've got the app too. My scan is an extra one though because the midwife was lovely and said that I had ground for an extra reassurance one due to history, so it'll only be 8 weeks or so at that point, not the 12 week one. When I went for bloods the nurse put my details through to the midwife and she gave me a call and set me up on the app etc, but I think that's just because of history etc that's it's so early. I can't bring myself to read all the leaflets etc on it yet, so it's just sitting dormant on my phone until after Monday if everything is ok..!

It really does seem to vary place to place!

@Buffbeag you need all the patience in the world!! That's ages!

@Daffodil21 I know! It's getting harder to keep it a secret as well as starting to show a little bit now 🙄

For those who don't have the app, it's just got loads of leaflets loaded into it, and it shows all your appointments (unless I'm missing anything else)

@Buffbeag that's lovely!! How long to go until your scan??

@Daffodil21 another week to go. Hoping my 4 night shifts go quickly this week 😴

I'm feeling rather sorry for myself tonight. Started on prochlorperazine as the cyclizine wasn't helping much but making me sleep all day. It's not going well. I've not kept anything down at all today 😭 If tomorrow doesn't go better I'll have to call the drs again. I'm about 4/5lbs down this week.. thank goodness grandparents are allowed to help with childcare.

I have the traditional blue folder, didn’t have a clue there was now an app.

You sound just like I did @singleandttc, thankfully my nausea and sickness disappeared around 10 weeks or I really wouldn’t be able to cope. Nothing the docs were prescribing was helping me at all

@singleandttc so sorry that the medicine is not helping! I can't imagine how difficult it must be. The nausea makes me completely exhausted.

My nausea got better over the last few days but I'm not sure if it's because I was off work and I was quite busy. When I sit and relax the nausea comes back. My scan is not until 30th Nov 😭 so excited for everyone's scans x

Hey guys. For those who have morning sickness, when did it start levelling off? I’m only 5 weeks but each days gets worse. This morning was pretty bad 🤢

@Gaxy1 I think typically between week 9 and 12?

Thanks @TheDaydreamBelievers. Hopefully it won’t get too bad.

I'm 9+4 at the moment. The new tablets are doing nothing. In my first pregnancy it got better around 12 weeks then a second, worse wave hit at 13 weeks and continued to 32 weeks..I really hope it's not like last time!
