12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

pigpen

folic acid is primarily for the development of the neural tube.. by 13 weeks it is done so it is pointless taking the folic acid after then.. though it can't hurt to take a different pregnancy multi-vitamin or something..

Thanks! I'll look for a multi vitamin I think! can't do any harm!

Hi! Can I join in? I'm a bit early (11+6) but I had a scan last week so fingers crossed everythings still OK!
Didn't join <12weeks this time, as had mc this year, then they told me I had a 'threatened mc' this time and din't want to worry everyone with my moanings (I saved that for the mc thread!)
I feel as sick as hell still, I don't actually vomit, but feel car-sick/hungover sick ALL day! I'm SO hungry but can't eat anything (except crisps) when does it all end?
Good news is I have a very wiggly bean (according to scan) and my belly is sticking out a treat!

Mine was so far in my pelvis they couldn't do head measurements.. or check the bottom of the placenta.. it is quite low at the back apparently.. so I'm back next Tuesday... which they moaned about as I'll be 23+3 and they don't like leaving it until after 23 weeks.. I said they shouldn't have booked my anomaly scan for 22 weeks then should they

Congratulations so pleased to see you over here, I remember you from the less than 12 weeks thread so am delighted to hear you are expecting again x

Thanks PigPen & mancbird!

Really glad to be joining you! Got my nuchal screening scan thingy tomorrow, how long does this take? Blood tests, then measuring, I know theres always waiting etc, but actual being seen time is it more than 30mins? Excited!

I like knowing I'm still pg, by feeling so rubbish, but I just want to eat a decent meal & get some nutrients in my body! Or I'm going to give birth to an actual Wotsit (or worse Umpa-Lumpa, all stained orange by Wotsits!)

I wasn't called in until an hour after my appointment time! They did the dating scan at the same time and I was in there about 15-20 minutes but they couldn't do the NT asa Dot was curled up in a ball and when they fiddled about it curleed even tighter lol

The sonographer also tore a hole in my stomach muscles so I have a huge hernia and didn't book a rescan which she should have.

Hi, I would like to join this thread. I am 20+5. I was on the less than 12 weeks thread before but I never made the transition over. I have my 20 week scan tomorrow - really nervous and excited! Hoping to find out pink or blue!
