@Perexi ahhh how horrible, I have woken up with what i think is thrush i get it every pregnancy luckily only then. But feel so uncomfy will have to call doctor to see if i can have anything.

Room4onemore · 20/09/2022 17:06

I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable down there today, feel a bit swollen and a bit sore so off in the bath later and if it’s still the same in the morning I may ring the docs

MattyM5 · 20/09/2022 17:38

Hello ladies, been enjoying seeing all your lovely scans on here. Finally had my dating scan yesterday, baby was giving us the royal wave the whole time 😄👋🏻 so happy and relived
.…just for fun any boy or girl guesses?

hol92 · 20/09/2022 17:50

@MattyM5 i am going to go with boy! :) the head shape looks similar to mine and everyone keeps saying that’s the reason the think boy 😂 x

Babynum2 · 20/09/2022 20:01

@Room4onemore it may be thrush like me as mine is swollen also i had a bath with no bubbles and then put an ice pack on it😂

muminlndn · 20/09/2022 20:10

I had chronic thrush last time in my third trimester 😩so I'm hoping it doesn't happen again.
It took a long time to get a proper diagnosis of chronic thrush (it came straight back after treatment) and I ended up with a prescription for a load of pessaries that I used every few days until birth and then it just went away. They don't prescribe the tablets in pregnancy, only the pessaries.

I had thrush for a couple of weeks and went away as soon as I reduced sugar (including fructose) and started wearing cotton leggings and tracksuit bottoms rather than synthetic gym leggings.

Aww love the little wave! I think boy too!

I have my second try at the 12 week scan tomorrow here's hoping it wants to play ball this time 😂

@Perexi hope you're feeling better soon!

Thanks!

Oh no that's the worst, hopefully its not too bad and the docs can help

MattyM5 · 21/09/2022 13:28

@hol92 aww would absolutely love a little boy! Grew up with brothers, so slightly team 💙 but it‘s my first so no strong preference.

@Perexi That‘s two votes for boy then, interesting! I literally can‘t guess from the scan, no matter how hard I try 😂 Good luck with your scan today, fingers crossed baby is co-operating!🤞🏻

GreenIsle · 21/09/2022 14:35

Going for my gender scan today also, I don't mind what sex the baby is at all but my older dc would prefer one over the other.

Cats23 · 21/09/2022 15:14

Had my first consultant appt today!!

Asprin started (Pre-eclamsia,csect & very prem baby with 1st Dc, the last 3x have been fine and vbacs)
This time from 28weeks till 6 weeks after birth , I have to have daily injections to thin blood, also because its my 5th pregnancy and Im older(37), I will have 3x growth scans after 20weeks too, every 2 weeks bp check and urine check!
My 12 week bloods came back and all well!
A lot to take in today!

Jholli · 21/09/2022 15:38

Hello all I’m 13 weeks and have been a regular moaner on here due to hg
im still either throwing up or wanting to throw up everything consumed and I have literally no energy
i drive to do the school run and going from the car to the gates is exhausting
is this going to get better

TeddyBeans · 21/09/2022 16:04

@Jholli I don't have HG but I'm still throwing up randomly at 17 weeks. Yours sounds really draining though, I hope it gets better for you!

havanamama · 21/09/2022 16:37

@Cats23 I am high risk too so will have 20 week, 31 week and 37 week scans.

I feel bad for those that only have 12 and 20 week scans! So many months without seeing the baby unless you go private !

Eastybaby19 · 21/09/2022 16:48

@Cats23 I had mild pre clampsia, Severe hypertension & Cholastesis with my 1st baby 3 years ago so pretty high risk this time. I'll be having my 20 week scan, then 25 week scan and then from 28 weeks I'll be having growth scans every 2 weeks until delivery. I had my 16 weeks appt yesterday and they did more bloods to check bile acids for the Cholastesis that will be repeated at my 20 week and every 2 weeks I've to see midwives for BP checks! It's a lot of appointments! 🫠

Perexi · 21/09/2022 17:29

Managed to get the screening measurements done today 😃 after some jumping around and having the bed tilted 🤣 any gender guesses? My mum is sure its a girl.

Due March 2023 - thread 3
Babynum2 · 21/09/2022 20:10

@Perexi im going to say a boy

TeddyBeans · 21/09/2022 20:28

@Perexi sounds like bubs gave you a run for your money! I think possibly a girl

OP posts:
muminlndn · 21/09/2022 20:33

@Perexi possibly a girl?

I don't think I saw any nub on my scan photos... from skull I think maybe girl? My daughter actually wants a brother but I'm sure will be fine either way 😅
I'm trying to ignore the chicken legs in all the scan pics 😂

Due March 2023 - thread 3
Jholli · 21/09/2022 21:33

Jholli · 21/09/2022 21:34
