Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

Faerie - Great Scan pic:j

Sam - Can't believe I am at the top of the list:eek:. Technically I should be on the next thread now as I am between 13 and 14 weeks but don't have my ''12 week'' scan until Monday.

Squirrel - Good Luck at your scan:j

Birdie - I have my scan on Monday too.

Becca- Your puppy is adorable. Did I miss the name?

Can't wait for the next scan as still have next to no symptoms and am still in the same size jeans (I have lost 2 kgs). Getting a little worried now and needing some reassurance that things are progressing as they should.

Hi to all the newbies. :wave:

First mw appt this morning.. That was a lot of stuff!

please-let-me-be-lucky

Samtoby, I was convinced my second baby was a girl because the pregnancy was so different to the first. With DS1 I was so sick I lost 2 stone while pregnant, had loads of time off work and narrowly avoided being put on a drip quite a few times. With the second pregnancy I bloomed, was hardly sick, looked and felt healthy and carried differently too, but no, another boy! Wouldn't swap him for the world, but everyone was shocked he wasn't a girl!

I'm another who only feels a tiny but queasy in the morning but really yuck in the afternoon/evening. I can't go too long without snacking after lunch or I really feel bad/ throw up.

Hope all went well at the scan Squ1rrel Xx

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. All good at scan! So crazy to see my mini squirrel! Saw the heartbeat fluttering away which was amazing! I'd dated myself 6 + 5 but she measured me at 6 + 4 so not far off! Got a due date of 16th March.

Have my first midwife appt tomorrow morning too - ill expect a long one after your comment Becca!! Hope it went well?

Kynthia, I get evening sickness too - my mum had it exactly the same when she had me. Mine hits me about 5.30, good that its not hitting during work hours but kinda ruins the evenings at the moment!!

Mine included:-

Medical history and that of family
Where I'd like to give birth
Height, weight, blood pressure, BMI
Previous pregnancy and birth history
Any medications taken or special diet
Partner and home set up - eg children/step children
Blood taken for tests and a urine sample given
Scan info and tests available for baby
Questions on how I will feed baby

And probably more that I have forgotten! As becca says, it's a lot of stuff!!

glad to hear all is well squirrel
the booking in appoint takes about 1-1.5 hours, but in my area they split it across two so you can read all the leaflets they give you about the tests they offer and then they ask you if you want them at the second appointment

please - don't forget all the leaflets! there's looooaaaaads of leaflets!

I had all this plus was referred for consultant led care as we had fertility treatment & I have pcos. Also had a GTT booked for 16 weeks as I have pcos and both 12 & 20 week scans booked.
Got my bounty pack. Asked about screening and breast feeding.

I wasn't so much asked about breast feeding as given the hard sell for a good 5+ minutes despite already saying I wanted to give it a go!

Gosh, today I have discovered that with people knowing about my pregnancy I've opened myself up to a world of unwanted opinions! We're going for a work lunch next week and I was talking about maybe sharing a baked camembert with someone until some smart alec pointed out that I'm not allowed camembert whilst pregnant and proceeded to give a (not entirely correct!) list of foods I must avoid like I didn't already know! I was sure that it was OK so had a Google and yes, it's fine as the baking will kill off any bacteria. Why people think you're suddenly stupid and incapable of looking after yourself because you're pregnant is beyond me! :mad: Even knowing that it's OK I wouldn't dare order it now because I can't be doing with people hassling me about it... people need to keep their opinions to themselves!

What is a GTT Becca? Only ask as I have pcos too?
