I got my first scan, measuring 10 weeks (I have no idea when I ovulated so I'm okay with that) so I need to go back for a 12 week scan. I wasn't expecting to find the baby to be so cute, I know how silly that sounds but it's just really cute somehow. I have type 1 diabetes as well so I feel like I'm gonna be at the hospital every week from now till birth.

Ah glad I've found the new group 😊

I'm also 34, nearly 35 with a DD aged 4. I'm 10 weeks today, it's dragging to first antenatal appointment / scan.

Thanks for making a new thread! Great to read about others experiences.
I'm 28 and 7+3 with my first baby.

Quolla · 09/05/2024 12:43

Hi! I'm 35 with one two year old son and about 8+5 today so due mid December. This is going faster than last time, I guess having a toddler to run after does that 😅 I've had very few symptoms and no nausea which was the same as last time so it's pros and cons there!

UnicornPrincessSarah · 09/05/2024 18:03

@Bailem When is your first appointment and Scan? I'm 10+1 today

@Aardbeien I have had 3 scans so far it is so interesting how quickly things change lol

I'm reading online how much they grow by week it's really cool honestly, can't wait to see again at 12 weeks and compare the scans

UnicornPrincessSarah · 09/05/2024 18:09

@Aardbeien when is your 12 week scan?

@Aardbeien when is your 12 week scan?

The 23rd, so about 2 weeks from now

MissMadam · 09/05/2024 18:17

Thanks for the new thread. Still haven’t even got a booking in date so not too sure what’s happening there. I was taking aspirin last time and higher dose folic acid so I assumed it would be the same but not sure what to do yet. I’m 8 weeks tomorrow which actually can’t believe. But on flip side i’m soooo hungry, I have a second lunch at the end of the work day before I go home for dinner. It’s that or all day nausea without being sick. I feel so bad most of the day. Deciding whether I can get something from the Gp it to hope or tapers off finally.

catmumma84 · 09/05/2024 18:32

Hey all ! I’m 6+5 and struggggggling with the nausea! This is my first baby, someone please tell me it will go away soon 😭😂

Nice, a day before! Hope it comes soon so you can see your sweet baby. It really is the best feeling getting to see them.

Iamnotalemming · 09/05/2024 20:16

Ah here you are! I was wondering why the other thread was quiet then realised it was full.
😅
First app with the midwife tomorrow. 9 weeks 2days. No scan appointment yet, will be asking about that as really want it ASAP.

I am generally feeling hungry and tired a lot. Boobs and tummy big! I've been on holiday and WFH a bit. Am nervous about being back in the office next week and trying to hide the bump...

My first appointment is next Tuesday and I'll get my scan date then, really hoping they can get me in before our holiday.

I'm definitely feeling bloated/bigger already!

Bailem · 09/05/2024 21:36

@Iamnotalemming I feel the same, I look like I've gained a dress size in all my pants already, I look like in squeezing in them.

I haven't told work yet either and it's definitely getting harder to keep it to ourselves now.

MissMadam · 09/05/2024 21:41

Ughh I’m so bloated people are starting to notice my weight gain. I was hoping to ride it out till 20wks but it’s so hot that I can’t hide behind my fleece anymore.

RedRobyn2021 · 10/05/2024 06:07

Thanks for starting a new group

I'm 33 and have a 3yo DD, I've been suffering with HG which is serious pregnancy sickness, I had to go to a&e Wednesday night on the advice of my GP and they loaded me up with some anti sickness and 3 bags of saline. Feeling fragile today, but they wanted me to go back for a scan so I get a glimpse of baby today at only 7w6

I know there won't be much to see but I'm trying to see the positive in it as it's my birthday today and I'm too poorly to do much else!

Bailem · 10/05/2024 07:28

@RedRobyn2021 That must be so debilitating, I'm sorry your having a rough time. I hope your scan goes well and happy birthday x

Iamnotalemming · 10/05/2024 07:55

Happy Birthday @RedRobyn2021 Flowers

Gosh I hope the meds work for you. I have a 2yr old and I’m exhausted with just basic nausea. So I can’t even imagine how you’re coping.

Mamaxo · 10/05/2024 08:18

I'm 7+4 due December 23rd and feel like I've been pregnant for ages already 😂 had a scan Wednesday and everything was good, but I have two slipped discs in my back and I'm suffering terrible with back pain but it's triggering me (previous mc's) x

RedRobyn2021 · 10/05/2024 15:50

Thanks it's been an ok day, manage some lunch out, it's beautiful weather so that helps!

The hospital scan took 2 hours of mostly waiting! Here is a picture of my uterus and my tiny bean if anyone's interested 😂

I know what you mean about feeling like you've been pregnant for ages! Everyone says it goes faster when you have another child but I feel so impatient.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriages and back pain Flowers

minirollmuncher · 11/05/2024 11:56

Hi, I'm due around 31st December but will likely have baby earlier as my obstetric history is awful! Already got 3 little ones at home so this one is the final piece
