@mldn @travellinglife

Glad the scan has gone well. I'm 9 + 4 today and also feel sickness a bit less. Have no idea how will hide it from work another 3 plus weeks as I look obviously pregnant it's shocked compared to last time. I was really hoping to get a date for my NHS scan today but still nothing and postman has been x

I’m feeling okay thanks @Skyla01 just really tired. That’s been my main symptom really. My boobs stopped aching a few weeks back and nausea passed too, I’ve had a few waves of nausea but nothing drastic. Just ready to start finding energy and beginning running again, still really struggling on that front, I burn out as soon as I begin a run!

@NatGee I don’t think I’ll start buying anything until much later on, feels too early still, I don’t even want to tell people 😂 we told my parents last weekend & will tell my boyfriends this weekend. Then maybe other people gradually once back from our holiday at about 16 weeks!

I just went into Uniqlo & bought some very stretchy leggings to help comfortably hold my crazy bloating!! genuinely look 6 months pregnant sometimes.

I got a free pic at the EPU, but today we had to pay £5 a pic x

You can ring your midwife and ask them to follow it up for you I got mine when I went for my epu scan as my dates was wrong and got my scan letter and when I did my referral online I'm 2 days behind you xx

@LeeanneD11 thanks. Will give it a few more days as technically by NHS date I am 9 weeks exactly. They told me that would not take my private scan dating in to account. My main issue is a work away once a month and they want a date for mid may. I'm so unlucky it will probably turn out to be the date they gave me x

Mine is 18th may , I'm 9 weeks today too . But I've got no symptoms what so ever have gone off fizzy now onto flavoured water . I'm now showing more as my 3rd baby . Hope your ok x

@Mldn absolutely listen to your body- if you are tired then rest up as much as you can. Have you got a relaxing holiday coming up? I'm sure you'll have a second wind in a few weeks, and you can get going again.

@Skyla01 the tiredness had defo peaked the last week or two! I look ghostly pale pretty regularly too. So defo taking it easy. Yea, we are going to southern Spain for 12 nights of glorious sunshine & then onto senile for a few nights city break! Cannot wait for the vitamin D ☀️ hope you’re doing well xx

@Mldn wow very jealous. We're doing a trip to North Wales and Lpool lol enjoy every bit ! xx

Oh enjoy @NatGee ! Liverpool is one of my fav places, I went there for uni & my boyfriend is a scouser. I think we will eventually leave London for Liverpool when baby is here xx

Seville** not senile 😂

haha @Mldn yeah i was like "senile?" but then figured it was Seville cos youll be in Spain. Great time to go too, wont be too hot. I was there in August once and omg it was too much. would go again, its lovely

Thank you everyone!
All done and the baby was fine and they got everything they needed. My bloods were done too as I didn’t get them done at my booking appointment. They said I won’t need the screening test as I had a NIPT, I just got the results from that too and it was low risk. I’m one happy and relieved lady now 😊

@LeeanneD11 I gave them a call and they said letter was sent today. I am the 19th of May so not too long now x

@Travellingislife ah fabulous news! What a lovely day for you getting the NIPT results too. Did you get your due date confirmed? X

@Mldn yes, the 6th of November, so pretty much bang on what I thought!
I’ll try and relax now and enjoy the pregnancy, I’m going away for work so that should take my mind off things too then it’s not too far until the 16 week appointment.

I hope you’ll have a great time on your holiday, I’m sure it’ll be amazing!

@Travellingislife ah great stuff, what a relief!

so many of us crossing the 12 week mark, its all feeling very real isnt it?

Ah so pleased for you @Travellingislife ! I am feeling the same, going to try hard to let myself relax & enjoy the pregnancy now. So glad we’ve made it through the longest period of my life 😂 bring on second trimester & a bump rather than insane bloat!! I’m due the date the NHS calculator gave me the first day I put my details in there.

Good luck to everybody else coming up to their 12 weeks appt 🤍

So glad to read the scans today have all been positive 🥰 xxx

Good to read about the happy scans today ladies! I have my 12 wk one tomo, nerves creeping in now. My official nhs one is in a wks time, tomo is the recurrent mc unit one and they are usually more rushed so hoping it is a reassuring experience! Nice to read how everyone else is getting on. X

@spanglesj good luck tomorrow! have you had an early one done at all? If youve seen a heartbeat already chances are all will be OK

@Travellingislife great news! X

Hopefully it goes quick for us , I'm 18th may . I don't feel pregnant lol 😂 no symptoms at all lol 😂 how you getting on x

Yikes, just had my first bit of spotting too. (Brown with a tiny bit of red) Just shy of 12 wks. Anyone else had any? Good timing for my scan tmo. 💆🏻‍♀️ X

Oh thanks @NatGee that’s helpful yeah I’ve had an 8 and a 10 wk scan. Still bricking it but I will heed your words there and try to calm a bit! X

@LeeanneD11 tired but not as tired as first pregnancy but I work from home now so that helps. Nausea but not actually been sick mainly first thing and evening. Less again than first pregnancy I would say. Pretty sore boobs. Can't complain though as still feel able to function. Some of my friends have had horrendous sickness so feeling lucky to have avoided that so far. Very noticeable bump in some clothes.

Has anyone found out the gender from their NIPT tests?
