Due September 2024 - Part 4! 🤰🏻💙🩷

[MrsB2019x]

New thread for September 2024 mamas 💙🩷

@cd24x also, as grim as this sounds, try gargling salty water (if like me in weird positions further back in mouth) - it really helped!

For those that have had NIPT already, how long did your results take? Xx

Finally had my booking in appointment today at 10+4. I still have to wait several days to receive my dating scan details as they come in the post 🙄 I'm very impatient. Also I know second pregnancies show earlier but I look 5 months gone and I've barely eaten!

@RachSmile@longingtobe23@FirstTimeMum887 beautiful scans ladies 🥹🫶🏼

Mine is two weeks tomorrow and couldn’t come soon enough!

Lovely scans ladies 😍😍 making me so excited for mine. Still 3 weeks to go though!

72 hours but I specifically researched the fastest turnaround in London

Beautiful scan photos everyone 😍

Still bleeding on and off today so I’m getting super anxious. It’s not loads but I can’t help my mind going to the worst. It feels like such a long wait til the scan on Thursday 😥

@MrsB2019x is Thursday the earliest they could see you? Thinking of you. X

Thank you, Thursday is my dating scan, I called EPU yesterday and they said they are full all week so it’s best to just wait til Thursday ☹️

aaaah look at all the lovely 12 week scans 🥰🥰 congratulations ladies.

I'm with you all in that the sickness has still not let up yet!

Started telling people at work today and their response was that they already knew as noticed my bump last week 🫣 it's certainly getting more difficult to hide now!

@Nic17 i had an NIPT test last Monday evening in the north by ultrasound direct. They sent it 24 hour tracked to London and it arrived Wednesday. Got email with results Friday early afternoon. Very quick turnaround!

Awww lovely scans ladies. I still have to wait 2 weeks 2 days for my scan, seems to be taking forever

My giant 10 week bump too. Going to struggle to hide this under my work tunic! Hoping it's still mostly bloat.

@SC126 oh wow that's definitely a bump, how lovely!

Has anyone had any issues with their teeth?

This week my teeth have been really achey, it's so uncomfortable but I'm reluctant to take any paracetamol unless it's really severe

Wow all these cute bumps! I haven’t got anything yet ! But do get bloated come the evening - I have my booking appointment tomorrow and I am hoping I’ll have the badger app most of my friends do so I can see scans/notes all in one place.

praying my dating scan is less than 3 weeks now - I’m 9+3 and getting impatient!

Welcome to all the ladies who have recently joined! 🙋‍♀️

Massive congrats to all who had new scans! I’m to be honest struggling to believe how rapidly the time is passing. We k ow genders, we are having 12 week scans, we have test results, we have bumps! 🍉

Speaking of bumps, these babies are definitely showing!! 🤰
my bump is miniature comparing to these lovely bumps above.

Awww I am lovvvinnnggg all these scan pics of ACTUAL BABIES!! It's incredible, I'm still sitting behind you all now at 7-and-a-bit weeks but hopefully you can figure it all out and pass your information on to me. I definitely am constantly bloated and unable to hold my gut in anymore. I wish I had done a bit more core strengthening before this whole situation but it is what it is. I can't be showing much apart from water retention at the moment but I definitely feel gross 😭🤣. Which also hasn't helped my libido. Need to probably do something about that. Poor DH. I'm just so bloated, tired and constipated 🤣

@Khanga27 thank you lovely! That's a great turnaround time for you!

The scan and bump photos are all absolutely lovely ❤️ I'm incredibly bloated in the evenings and noticed my stomach is much harder than usual but nothing like your lovely bumps!

@HolyMoly24 mine have been super sensitive, but I have trouble with them normally anyway. I've been extra flossing and rubbing a bit of toothpaste on them when they start with the aching which seems to have helped a bit.

Lovely to see all the scans, ours is next Tuesday at 12w5d which seems like forever. Anxiety is at all time high, bawled at the doctor for absolutely no reason today while trying to sort something unrelated out, proper snotty crying down the phone,he was so lovely about it though.

5.45am, been sitting here for about 45 minutes trying not to be sick. In two minds about whether to go to work today - on the one hand, it’s a pretty easy day so wouldn’t be a hard one to go in. On the other hand, it’s a pretty easy day so not a hard one to miss!

All through this, even when I’ve been feeling really rough, I’ve been able to eat proper meals still, but yesterday I just couldn’t. I felt bad because dh made a lovely dinner, but after a couple of bites I was done.

Just had our 12 week scan, and baby is measuring 2 days ahead so our new due date is the 2nd September. So crazy how much they grow in a small amount of time. All feels very real now

@Emmaev beautiful scan 😍

It's insane how much they grow between 8 weeks and 12 weeks. At 8 weeks they look like little gummy bears on scan photos and then 4 weeks later they look like actual babies!

How long did everyone's booking appointment take :) finally have mine today but have to take my baby with me, I can't remember how long they take and when I looked online it said an hour! - beautiful scans everyone 🥰

So many lovely scan pictures! Our 12 week scan is a whole 3 weeks away when I will actually be 13 weeks feels so long to wait!

@Lillers I feel your pain. I literallly rolled over in bed this morning and got a mouthful of sick 😔

@hol92 I think it depends on if you have any health issues. I have lots so mine was an hour and a half

@Emmaev
amazing scan! 💜 I was just thinking the same @HolyMoly24 .Once they take the shape they start growing in mass.
@hol92 mine took 45 minutes. I had a midwife and her trainee with her. The trainee was taking my bloods and weighting me and all that while the midwife was asking me questions. We didn’t do the whole family history thing, we did that on a separate appointment. If she is going to ask family history you can count another 35 minutes on top of that.
