Scottish Mamas Due March - July 2021

[TheDaydreamBelievers]

A group for all Scottish mumsnetters who are pregnant and due between March and July next year!

Oh how exciting @barbiemummy20, do you have a preference?

@MrsKMum ERI triage were great with my first two pregnancies, thankfully haven’t needed to go up (so far - fingers crossed!) but they are truly amazing

Anyone had the flu jab yet? Had flu and whooping cough vaccines this morning.. been plagued with an awful headache ever since and just feel utterly crap. Wishing it was bed time!

@Wanderdust. I booked with ultrasound direct. I used them with my first and they were great. Got to see baby for quite some time although I don’t remember getting any videos. That sounds amazing! Did they say how long the results take? My NIPT is booked for 12th Dec so really hoping I get the results before Christmas!

@Queenbee95 no preference we have a DD who is desperate for a brother 💙

@bubblybrit within 10 working days :( Feels like forever! I had it done last Sat (21st). They said it was usually 7 working days but now more like 10 because of the pandemic. I noticed when I signed the form it was going to a lab in London so maybe that's why too. Obviously just praying for a healthy bubs but also ticked the box to know the sex so that would be a nice bonus to know so early!

@Queenbee95i had mines about a month ago. Normally get a bit of a sore arm but my god my arm waa killing me for a out 4 day this time 😂

@Wanderdust. I was told 7-10 days but I found out within 5 days with DD. I was hoping that I’d get the results before Christmas so I can tell my parents on Christmas Day! Oh that’s exciting. We found out the gender with DD but not sure what to do this time round. DH and I will only be having 2 DCs so not sure if I’d want a surprise if this is my last pregnancy...

@barbiemummy20 aw that would be nice. We’re having a girl this time, I have 2 boys and dh has a boy. My eldest was really hoping for a baby sister, even went as far to say if he got a brother he would “send him back” 😂

@Buttercup20 I honestly feel so crap, thank god it’s bed time in half an hour! Defo getting into bed same time as the kids haha!

@Queenbee95 hope you feel better soon xx

I have a gender scan booked next week but thinking of cancelling it and just waiting till its born to find out.

We are having a BOY 💙 can't believe it, our DD is ecstatic 👌🏻

@barbiemummy20 Aww lovely news congratulations 😊

@barbiemummy20. That’s brilliant news. Congrats 😀!

@GrandTheftWalrus. I’m having the NIPT on the 12th and they offer to confirm gender. I’m also unsure as found out with my first but quite fancy a surprise this time. DH doesn’t agree though so who knows!

We didn't find out with our first. So we had talked about finding out with the second so we could experience both. I honestly think ill regret it either way. The scan place text me today about the scan while I was debating cancelling it so right now I'm still going as I still want the scan to make sure everything is okay.

I wonder if they'll write it down and put it in an envelope for us.

@GrandTheftWalrus. I don’t see why they wouldn’t write it down for you...no harm in asking?

@GrandTheftWalrus we went for a private gender scan before 20 week NHS one and they were fine writing it down for us as we wanted to come home and find out ourselves 😊 so hopefully would be fine where you go too x

Well as they say if you don't ask you don't get. I've sent them a message asking if they can do that.

They replied saying to tell reception when I arrive and they'll put it in an envelope for me so I get my scan and I don't need to find out so happy days

@barbiemummy20 congratulations 💙💙

@barbiemummy20 Congratulations!

Had my 12 week scan this morning, it went great ☺️ The little one was wiggling all the time haha. So happy to be able to breathe a sigh of relief. The scan pushed me ahead to 13 weeks so the due date is now 7th of June. It feels real now! 😄

My 12 week scan is tomorrow and I’m completely and utterly bricking it!

@sunnysideup3 great news 😊 glad it all srbf8

@swiftt good luck for tomorrow! My stomach is already in knots for Thursday 😐

@Buttercup20 thank you, and you too! Thursday will be here before you know it x
