    heya. i was on last week in the great stress of finding out i was pregnant having been i n a car crash two weeks ago. i have now calmed down slightly but they sending me for a scan tomorrow i will be 7 weeks pregnant exactly. they said not to worry if they dont see a heartbeat as it might be too soon. waht do u guys think?? i figure if anything had happened as a result of car crash it would have happened by now.

    Awwwww, those babies are soooo cute!
    rjh090384 - I'm sure the scan will be fine - they are used to doing early scans so I'm sure it will be ok.

    Congratulations Rachel! Sounds normal to me, spending precious sleepy time just staring at baby... You can sleep in a few years' time, so don't waste baby's first everythings... :D

    Hi guys,

    Can I ask a quick question? I am having my 24 week check up with the midwife tomorrow - do I need to take a wee sample?? I havne't seen my midwife or spoken to her since she booked me in at 8 weeks. I have been up to the hospital to antenatal (emergency scans when I lost the twin) and there I DID need a week sample every time but I don't know if this is wee every time or wee just up at hospital.

    Any ideas??? Oh and my appointment is 2:45pm so if I DO need a sample does it have to be first morning??

    Thanks

    Shelvis


    Hi Shelvis - I was told right back at booking in to always take a sample - I always forget so end up getting a little jar off the receptionist and do the deed in the toilets there...never have any problems producing lol! So I guess that answers your second question also - never been told a fresh one was no good.

    Congratulations rachelja !!!

    Hello and congrats also sarahh112 I am also on my second with a ten year gap - wierd how different it seems though...I've only seen my midwife a few times this time round, in fact she rang me to arrange to come round recently and I had no idea who she was!

    Hi rjh090384 good luck for the scan, I'm sure you'll be fine!

    Congratulations my lovely.

    xxxxxxxxx
    I saw two shooting stars last night
    I wished on them but they were only satellites
    Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
    I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
  • Congratulations Rachel! Sounds like it all went fairly well. Does baby have a name yet? (Or did I miss it?)
