@cd24x ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ yeah he was playing a good game but he was just soooo smug.

@MudandMoet @HRP1990 I love when they turn on each other randomly around the table and itโ€™s gets savage ๐Ÿ˜‚ I just always imagine (if no traitors get voted out) them all going back to the turret and being like โ€œhey, wtf was that?โ€ Looool.

Iโ€™d be no good at it. I smirk when Iโ€™m accused of something I genuinely havenโ€™t done, so even being a faithful Iโ€™d be doomed.

@Bakerbean this is the thing, I already had two scans and both times afterwards I was satisfied for like 3 days and thatโ€™s it ๐Ÿ˜‚
if I go for a 9 week scan Iโ€™ll be ok for a few days and want another one before NHS 12 week scan.
This jar has no bottom , it canโ€™t be filled.
Some people are very good with going with the flow, even with things they care about. I am that type of a person, if I care about something and itโ€™s personalโ€ฆlike in this case-I got no chill. Like I wonโ€™t moan that much, but deep inside me Iโ€™m 120% consumed by the wellbeing and health of the fetus, any bad scenarios Iโ€™ve heard and read about, any what if this- what if that.
Really itโ€™s like OCD, I donโ€™t have OCD but I know I am obsessing. And itโ€™s not like thereโ€™s a reason for it, nothing has happened, but my brain has now unlocked like a new mode and switched to that.

Xur · 25/01/2024 10:44

@HoneyandSunshine I laugh under huge stress which is really inappropriateโ€ฆ.

Bakerbean · 25/01/2024 10:46

@Xur I hear you, 100%. Itโ€™s probably the most anxiety inducing emotional rollercoaster any of us will experience. Iโ€™ve been repeating affirmations to myself every day since reading someone talking about them on here. Thatโ€™s helped settle me a little, just in giving me a little more faith and confidence in my body. But it doesnโ€™t stop my brain obsessing over everything almost 24/7 too ๐Ÿ™ˆ

MudandMoet · 25/01/2024 11:09

@HoneyandSunshine that's the best bit when it's gets all savage! I love it. Ha! I'm the same I have a really bad nervous laugh so I'd be shit and get voted straight out ๐Ÿ˜‚

siobhanmt247 · 25/01/2024 11:12

@HolyMoly24 i think I'll probably be with you waiting until 12 weeks. With my first I thought I was safe going for a scan at 7 weeks and had that dreaded 2 weeks of uncertainty when I wasn't as far along as I should. I know it sounds really morbid but if the worst happens I will bleed eventually. Also, my partner won't let me have one lol

HolyMoly24 · 25/01/2024 11:14

@siobhanmt247 haha bloody partners eh?

That's it, early scans can provide lots of reassurance but also potentially a lot of worry and often unnecessarily. What will be will be (I am trying to convince myself)

siobhanmt247 · 25/01/2024 11:31

@HolyMoly24 pregnant until proven otherwise ๐Ÿคž

ForeverHopeful67 · 25/01/2024 11:36

@californiacooper yeah good idea, I think it's definitely better to wait until 7 weeks if you can just as sometimes 6 weeks can be a bit early to fully see everything. But at 7 weeks you should be able to see heartbeat etc ๐Ÿฅฐ

I have my booking in appointment today!
And just had my letter through for my 12 week scan which will be 15th February - eeeeek! Feels so real, has anyone else got their NHS scan dates yet?

californiacooper · 25/01/2024 11:59

@ForeverHopeful67 oh my goodness that's amazing! Just a few weeks to go! I can't believe we're in the same group but having a 12 week scan seems sooo far away to me!!

doitjustice95 · 25/01/2024 12:04

@ForeverHopeful67
Oh my god! Thatโ€™s so close!! Ahhh feels too real now haha hope the booking in appt went well too!

@HolyMoly24 pregnant until proven otherwise ๐Ÿคž

This is going to be my mantra for the next 3 weeks!!

rupertbear91 · 25/01/2024 12:47

That's a good mantra... I need to try and stick to as well having a really anxious baby isn't ok day today ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

Khanga27 · 25/01/2024 12:58

I just received my NHS scan date today - 23rd feb. Iโ€™m so nervous. I had a NHS scan at 6 weeks where we saw a heart beat but I still have worries.

Thinking of getting private NIPT test. Only place I can find locally is ultrasounds direct. Anyone used them before?

Sydney1988 · 25/01/2024 13:04

@Khanga27 Iโ€™ve got a 7 week scan with them later today so will report back! Also planning to get NIPT via them. They were recommended by multiple mum friends.

MudandMoet · 25/01/2024 14:45

Todays scan ladies - this one is at what I have been saying as 8+4 which is what I thought I was today, but the sonographer said I'm definitely measuring 9 weeks today. I've added my 6+4 pic from the other week so you can see the difference. Strong heartbeat and all looking perfectly fine.

For a few days I'll feel ecstatic then the worries will kick in again I'm sure. I called at maccys on my home as the cravings kicked in (of course they did ๐Ÿ˜) so was munching 2 large boxes of salty fries rocking down the motorway! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŸ

That's a fab scan @MudandMoet congratulations!!

Mad how much those little beans grow within a couple of weeks

HRP1990 · 25/01/2024 14:59

Aw thatโ€™s amazing @MudandMoet and even better than youโ€™re measuring ahead! Do you have a new estimated due date? Iโ€™m going to have to join you on a maccys run tonight, after Pilates. Healthy eating just isnโ€™t measuring up like it used to ๐Ÿฅน I wonder if my partner will feed me fries in bed (instead of grapes) ๐Ÿ˜‚

Bakerbean · 25/01/2024 15:07

@MudandMoet thatโ€™s absolutely fantastic news and both your scans are so clear! Wow!

Congratulations! ๐Ÿ˜

Xur · 25/01/2024 15:18

@MudandMoet Awh such great news! Congratulations! The little bean is beaning! ๐Ÿฅฐ measuring ahead must be the greatest feeling!

MrsM89 · 25/01/2024 15:22

ForeverHopeful67 · 25/01/2024 15:25

TTCSoManyQuestions88 · 25/01/2024 15:36
