I think the previous thread has reached max posts. Continue here

I would be keen on a Facebook group! Is anyone willing to set it up?

Hi!

Congratulations to you all!

Can I join in? I had 13 unexplained miscarriages before 10 weeks then a healthy DD who is 2 in May. Another miscarriage last August and now I'm 11 weeks 1 day today, I had a private scan and baby looks great. I have my 12 week scan next Thursday ☺️

I’m north based. in Newcastle. What about you?

@Fluffydino21 me too! 😃

Me too!

No way! Are you under the RVI as well??

Im still having issues getting my 12 week scan appointment.. I’ve read online that the RVI are quite bad for this but useful to hear if other people are having better experiences at the moment.

Hi, I'm really sorry but it as decided that the group should be made private a while ago due to the large number of people in there and people sharing sensitive or personal info.

If there's a few of you it might be worth setting up a second one? Or a Facebook group?

@Fluffydino21 I am, and was for my last pregnancy as well. Well, the latter half of it as we moved mid way through. I got my appointment through without any issues, although it's all just on the app. I'd defo try and call the hospital if you can! They might have scheduled you an appointment, but you just haven't received it . But worth checking.

@Fluffydino21
If you're having issues with scans keep chasing as there's crucial deadlines.

With my last child I had my 20 week scan at 11.49pm on a Sunday.. because they forgot and some of the crucial measurements they need has to be done by 21 weeks otherwise they can't take them after that.

I was obviously turning 21 weeks the next day.. hence the very late scan

Good to hear you had a positive experience! I was really torn between RVI and cramlington. Hospital has an automated message saying not to bother them until 11 weeks which is in a couple of days officially.. although on my private scans im measuring half a week ahead. Can I ask how much notice you got of your appointment? The midwife said to only expect a couple of days!

Hi All
Happy to set up another WhatsApp if helpful. We can then see how people feel about Facebook.
I'll have a go at the whatsapp and see if I can do it! :) x

Ah I need at least someone's number to set up a WhatsApp. If someone whod like to join can please PM me their number, I'll then have another go. Thanks x

Hi all 👋🏻

@Fluffydino21 I was too but I decided to go with RVI for my scans as if you go with Cramlington the scans are in North Shields which is a bit far for me. You can change later I think (according to my midwife anyway). Cramlington has all private rooms I think but I think they are also becoming very busy. I gave birth at the RVI birthing centre last time so had a private room, it closed for a while but has reopened again recently. I used the birthing pool last time so really wanted that again. I got my appointment quite quickly after my booking in appointment which was around 8/9 weeks. I'd definitely chase band on 11 weeks!

PMs are currently disabled... Is there anyone you could invite temporarily to get the group set up and then kick out, eg your partner? 😂 I'd be keen to join but idk how to get you my #!

12wk scan today - it went well!

Fingers crossed @Fluffydino21 @thismotherhoodthing for your NIPT results!

@Melusina123 so glad your scan was ok! I'm hoping the NIPT comes back quickly I feel like it's hanging over me a bit

@thismotherhoodthing how long will it be? I went for the one they said would be 2-5 days and then didn’t hear anything until day 5 at 2pm… I was going out of my mind. 😅

They said up to a week! I had it on Friday so they said I should hear back by Thursday. I just wish I had done it a little earlier so I could relax a bit after the scan - not that you ever really relax!

Thank you @Melusina123 !

I don't know if every company is the same but they said if there was a problem they'd call and if it was good news / low risk they just email. But I really hate that! Now every time the phone rings I feel sick for a second. I wish they just called everyone with the news whether it was good or bad.

@Fluffydino21 my lot rings everyone, I guess for that reason! But I got to wishing they’d just send me the damn report. So maybe a no-win situation!

@thismotherhoodthing only a few more (looooong) days then!

I have my scan and NIPT on Saturday. But I have to wait till my next midwife appointment end of march for the results. Our results go to the midwife who will tell us at the 16 week appointment and will get the report then.

Where I am, the 12 week screening results come via post about 1-2 weeks after the scan and blood test.
they only ring if something is high risk.

I’m 11+4 and feeling very hungry. Luckily in this pregnancy I crave a lot of vegetables! Been roasting loads of parsnips and sautéing tenderstem broccoli 🤣

has anyone else got cravings?

I'm up for a Facebook group if anyone is setting it up. I can't keep up with the WhatsApp! I'm happy to try but I won't get around to it til tomorrow.

I had my 12 week scan today and such a relief that all is looking good at this stage. I'm actually 13 weeks so due date is 2nd Sept. My only current concern is that didn't move much or look like there was much room. But I suppose everyone needs something to worry about.
