Morning
I found out on Saturday I’m pregnant which was quiet unexpected as we was not planning another 1 as yet. As my last period was June or July (don’t even remember) I don’t know how many weeks I even am. I suffer from PCOS so not having a period for a few months is quiet normal for me.
I contacted my GP on Monday and she forwarded me a self referral for the hospital and also told me to give them a call as going by my last period I could be way past the 12weeks mark. She also said they should call me in by end of the week for a scan & bloods. Called them at the hospital and they have clearly said I have to wait to hear back from them which is within 2weeks and I should get an appointment within a few weeks.
Should I privately get a scan?
Unsure on what to do from here. Called my GP again waiting on a call back Confused

If your cycles are regular, going off June/July you could be anything from 14-20weeks??

My LMP was August (first week) and I'm nearly 14 weeks x

My last period was end of June and I'm 19 weeks! I'd definitely book a private scan if you can

Just got a call back & they’ve booked me in for tomorrow morning. Finally the wait is over, it’s been stressing me out since the weekend because I haven’t even been having folic acid, until this weekend.

Went in for a scan this morning & they took measurements. From that they have said I’m 16wk + 4. They’ve rushed me in for an appointment next week to had all my bloods taken & also my initial midwife app. Then have my 20wk scan 3rd week of October.
Feel abit better now that I’ve had a scan & all seemed okay x

Can you feel movement or anything? Didn't you suspect you could be this far along?

That's such good news! Hopefully you will get all the right care and checks and things now so that's really good!!

Congratulations ☺️

As I suffer with pcos missed periods is quiet normal for me... it’s when last week I had sore boobs, numbness in my right hand (had carpol syndrome with previous to pregnancies), urge to eat spicy food... I thought I should do a test. I couldn’t remember when my last period was either 🤦🏽‍♀️
No movement as yet, probably due to my high bmi... I felt movement around 24wks with both my others.
Thank you xx

Oh my days what a dream pregnancy!! I knew I was pregnant when I started throwing up at 4 weeks. I am always envious of people with no sickness. Glad everything has gone ok and baba is healthy.

Thank you ladies ❤️
I luckily had no sickness in this pregnancy so far. Had it with my previous two, quiet early on. So far so good 😊 x
