I fell asleep with my daughter with a stress headache yesterday. Not having a great week. Will probably just keep going to bed early to get to the next day quicker !!

@Nannylp I'm hoping that the NIPT will show even less of a risk which will reassure me and my husband. It's just such a worry.

Nannylp · 02/03/2022 08:35

It's so worrying isn't it, my logical brain knows that the chances are so small but I can't help but worry. I feel very disconnected from the whole thing at the moment. Fingers crossed the results will come back quickly and we can start enjoying being pregnant

I've also been for my dating scan today! Measuring 12+1 weeks. Baby was moving about sooo much. The sonographer let me go for a wee half way through as I was busting and when I came back the baby had flipped completely upside down lol

@CLC22 love that!

@mol2mum lovely pictures, they're such fidgets aren't they

madeleine85 · 02/03/2022 18:53

@mol2mum great scan news!! It is so lovely when they can be seen moving around isn't it? So reassuring!

CLC22 · 02/03/2022 19:00

Thank you 🙂 and congratulations @mol2mum, beautiful scan photo x

Goodgoodthings · 02/03/2022 19:02

So lovely to see scan photos! Thanks for sharing @mol2mum and @CLC22 so adorable ♥️ can't wait for next Thursday for mine now

Dreamer30 · 02/03/2022 19:05

Aww I love seeing all the scab pics! Makes me so impatient for mine lol not until next Friday when I should be 12+5 by lmp, or 13+1 according to last private scan

Dreamer30 · 02/03/2022 19:06

SCAN! Sorry lol. Also, has anyone's boobs stopped hurting yet? I thought mine had and the past 2 days they're heavy and uncomfortable again

madeleine85 · 02/03/2022 19:15

@Dreamer30 mine did that around 12 weeks for a day or so. I feel like a had a massive hormone burst around then. Also just a massive hormone change. I am noticing less hair falling out when washing/drying, my first trimester bad skin is clearing too. Is anyone else noticing this after the 12 week mark? I keep thinking something has gone wrong, I was nowhere near this paranoid last pregnancy. I think it is as I keep hoping that I never have to go through pregnancy again if this one is all good :)

stimpyyouidiot · 02/03/2022 19:19

My skin is still awful. I never got spots before but now I'm covered in them! They're even in my hair 😩

Dreamer30 · 02/03/2022 19:33

Ah I hope my skin clears soon then, it's settled down a lot this past week. I've also had them in my hair around my hair line which is annoying. Eagerly awaiting that 🎇glow🎇 haha!

IzzyLeigh · 02/03/2022 19:40

Goodness I have missed a lot!

@mummysept22sep maybe round ligament pain?

@stimpyyouidiot thinking of you. Hang in there and keep us posted

@ShiningStarz so happy that your NIPT came back low risk! I’m waiting for my results now, so hopefully they hurry up and I have good news too. Fingers crossed!

@CLC22 what an amazing scan! Sucking the tiny thumb and everything!

@mol2mum congrats on your scan! I’m behind a lot of you (10+4 today) and I’m adoring seeing just how detailed the scans get in just a few short weeks!

@Dreamer30 I think we’re on the same scan date for the second scan in a row! Mine is next Friday as well! And my boobs hurt a tiny bit less lately (I think) but it seems that the pain is now more in my nipples, which is weird as I usually have next-to-no nipple sensation at all. My boobs might just hurt less because I’ve stopped sleeping on my stomach though. I was starting to wake up with weird pain in my belly that would go away when I would switch to my side. I’m thinking maybe the uterus expanding and all the extra bloating/gas is now too much to belly sleep anymore? Which is fine as I knew I’d have to eventually stop belly sleeping at some point soon anyway. This happen to anyone else?

Also, is anyone else getting such dry skin?! It's awful! I moisturize a ton, use a humidifier, and drink SO MUCH water but nothing seems to be making any difference!

Awwww congrats to everyone who had scans today!!
I had mine too and all was well!! So glad to be at this stage and it will be a weekend of telling people !! The exciting but.

Belle2210 · 02/03/2022 20:29

Congratulations on the new scans!

@IzzyLeigh Yes my skin has been super dry too! I had a bit of a glow earlier on but now it's drier than my normal dry skin. Also have some blotchy raised patches and a new cold sore to top it off. Hoping the glow comes back 😂.

I'm 12w+5 (early scan) or 11w+6 LMP and I'm noticing that I'm heavy/achy and just in general feel like more is going on in there which I'm sure will be normal. Any previous mums found a link with feeling this and a bump 'popping'? Just wondered really as I'm sure I look bigger today.... Unless I'm just getting fatter 😬.

TotoAnnihiliation · 02/03/2022 20:50

I went to the hairdressers today and my hairdresser said less of my hair was coming out than usual and guessed that I was pregnant. Apparently this is a very common thing!

I accompanied a friend to the hospital today and there was a scanning machine in the room. We were left alone and I can't even begin to explain how tempted I was to conduct a self scan 🤣

After a good day yesterday, I feel hideous today. But hurrah for some good days. Next time I talk to the midwife I am going to ask for a referral to the perinatal mental health team. Everything that has happened with work is playing on my mind. I don't feel as well in my mind as I should do.
