Tentatively seeing if anyone else is due then yet?

I got a positive digital this morning and based on Ovulation I'd be due 30th April and 2nd May based on LMP, but until the dating scan that could easily change a week either way based on previous babies!

@Nynm23 in my last pregnancy I had a few weeks in the middle where I felt good but don’t put pressure on yourself. For many women, pregnancy is just a long hard slog. @Irish34 im thinking I must be having a boy this time as I feel so different but who knows!!

Just had my 12 week scan measuring 11+6 so seems to have caught back up to what I'd initially calculated. I hadn't realised they move so much at this early stage, baby was kicking about all over the place! All measuring and looking ok though so that's a relief Smile

Nynm23 · 16/10/2023 17:19

@lenalove glad it went well! I was surprised by the wriggling and legs going crazy. So much so, my picture isn’t great as they couldn’t get a great position.

@Iamcatmum i just had my 12 week scan today (thought i was 12+5) but measured ay 12+3, we could be DD buddies! Hope it all gors well.

Iamcatmum · 16/10/2023 19:27

@Albrook aw that’s amazing! Glad your scan all went well. Will let you know how mine goes, but we could well be the same due date :)

Nynm23 · 16/10/2023 19:38

@Albrook I’m 12+3 too 💃

Albrook · 16/10/2023 20:09

@Nynm23 that's so exciting!

GLC789 · 16/10/2023 20:26

I am so delighted reading all the 12 weeks scan updates ladies!! So happy for you all ❤️❤️.

It's giving me so much excitement (rather than fear) for my own in Monday.

I went for a longer walk than usual on Saturday and it's absolutely worn me out, feel like I've pulled muscles in very odd places! So it's a day or two of staying still for me x

Hope you’re doing ok@GLC789! I think sometimes we have to remind ourselves that every woman, pregnancy and baby is different and you could just be going through a calm period. I know a lot of my symptoms have definitely subsided but I’m hoping that’s a positive of moving into the second trimester in a few weeks. I get it though, It’s just so hard at this point when you can’t feel movement to check everything is ok! How long till your scan again? Mine is Wednesday. Will only obviously be 11 weeks + 3 days so hoping it’s not too early!

Scan is 23rd so a week today! I'm feeling much better mentally today. I keep reminding myself that the only things that should worry me are the obvious ones. Hearing others in this thread talk about their good news at 12 week scans is giving me life! X

So excited for you! Do keep us posted xx

Iamcatmum · 17/10/2023 15:02

Had 12 week scan - all went well. EDD confirmed as 25 April. Baby was not playing ball for the pictures though - camera shy just like me and my partner 😂

GLC789 · 17/10/2023 16:16

@Iamcatmum lovely news! So happy for you xxxxx

Irish34 · 17/10/2023 17:37

I had my 12 week scan today aswell. All good. Measuring 11 weeks 5 but my due date was kept at 5th of May. Baby was waving and kicking around which was nice for my husband to see. He wasn’t allowed in any scans on my previous pregnancy due to covid.

Iamcatmum · 17/10/2023 17:47

@GLC789 thank you! Hope all goes well with yours when it comes around 😊

@Irish34 fab news - glad yours went well too. Wonderful to see our tiny babies wriggling around!

Plumful · 17/10/2023 19:05

Loving all these positive scan updates. Mine is next week. @Irish34 snap - covid pregnancy was rubbish and so sad husbands couldn’t come to the scans.

Irish34 · 17/10/2023 19:48

@Plumful well it was nice he got to see the ultra sound but my husband is a docs worse nightmare. He has nothing but questions. He actually said to the doc “she is very pale, she doesn’t look well. Even after sleep she looks like death” he has not once voiced this to me! I was like Ah lovely thanks for that!

Nynm23 · 17/10/2023 19:59

Glad all the scans going well 🥰 lolling at hubbys comments @Irish34 😂

HopeAndChocolate · 19/10/2023 13:39

Had my scan yesterday! Baby decided to be nice and awkward so we were in there a while as the sonographer struggled to get the measurements she needed (I think the one behind the head?). She only managed to get one when they usually try for three just so they can compare and be sure, which made me feel a bit nervous but she didn’t want me to come back or anything so. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Baby measuring bang on with EDD of May 5th. 🥰

KatieJ345 · 19/10/2023 17:20

Also had my dating scan yesterday. Measuring 13 weeks exactly, due 24th April. Glad to see that 12 week scans are going well for everyone!

GLC789 · 19/10/2023 17:32

@HopeAndChocolate @KatieJ345 eeeeeeek! I'm so delighted for you both! How wonderful 😍😍😍😍😍😍.

I'm off from work on a long weekend now before my scan monday afternoon! X

KatieJ345 · 19/10/2023 17:57

@GLC789 Thank you! 😊 wishing you all the best with your scan too!

HopeAndChocolate · 21/10/2023 19:33

Thank you! ❤️ Ahhh keep us updated @GLC789!

Plumful · 22/10/2023 06:39

My symptoms have come back. What are your best beige foods?! Scan on Wednesday.

Iamcatmum · 22/10/2023 08:23

@Plumful - I had some sourdough bread the other day when I was feeling nauseous. Nibbling on that was glorious! Definitely helped a bit temporarily.

Hope all goes well with your scan on Weds 😊

Plumful · 22/10/2023 08:30

this sucks!!

Nynm23 · 22/10/2023 08:41

Oh no @Plumful white toast - v lightly toasted and plain dry pasta was my menu for a week. However, antisickness have been life changing. If you are really struggling, reach out to you GP.
