AFM got my scan date through for the 6th of Feb hoping time flies until then!

I've just got my scan date and it's a day before you on the 5th feb seems ages away doesn't it.

Had my booking in appointment and the urine sample is inconclusive which I had a feeling it would as I made a mess of it lol So took another one at doctors hopefully a bit better this time and just waiting for results.

Miss_Imaginative hugs to you but don't give up hope Cervix being closed is a good sign.

Wangdoodle congratulations so happy for you as I know you had a worrying time at one bit didn't you?

lizzie_b isn't 9 weeks when the placenta starts to take over so you start to feel a bit better?

Hi everyone.
Hope every is feeling well - 'morning' sickness aside lol!

I went ahead with the hair dye - it's my cousin so I couldn't say to her. I was content with what you ladies said on here as well as the nhs website.

My scan is 22nd jan. I will be 10+2 by that date. I assume if everything is ok they will wait until 20 week scan. Or do you think I would be scanned again around 12w mark?

Days feel like they are dragging by but I've managed to reduce the knicker twitching to only a few times a day. Though I do feel huge! I'm tempted to weigh myself but worried about what the scales will say :rotfl:

Also meant to ask about s*x
I am so worrried about it causing me to bleed its putting me off!
My mc had already happened by 8 weeks last time so I know s*x is not going to do any harm but I can't shake that thought!

Please tell me someone else has these irrational thoughts!

Credit_crunch - Once we found out we were expecting, DH and I didn't dtd for the whole first trimester (I had bleeding at 6 weeks, then spotting at 9 and 11 weeks) because I didn't want to risk it.

(TMI) I still make him be very gentle, plus I'm already getting a bump big enough that I cannot breathe well if he's on top!

If you want the nuchal scan it needs to be done from around 11 weeks so you'd have to go back - why are they doing it so early?

I haven't bd since just after conception! First I was too ill I was in bed around 7pm every night with a sick bucket then when I stopped vomiting at 21 weeks, then I had bleeding and now I'm scared of going into labour early! So me & DH are waiting til 32 weeks were both just too paranoid (not to mention now everywhere aches so bad goodness knows how we'd actually do it lol!). You should just do what makes you comfortable whether that's sx every day or nothing at all.

Thanks girls. We have dtd once or twice since we found out but neither of us can relax & enjoy it. OH is also very gentle just to be on the safe side!

Claire I have no idea why they are doing it at 10+2. I had an early scan at 7+2.

I'm in Northern Ireland so we don't get booking appointments with midwives. Literally rang my doc, told her I was preg & she said she would send the referral letter of to the hospital. And now here we are.

I rang the EPU myself to ask for an early scan which they did without questioning it (other than asking about mc)

claire16c

When do you start to see a midwife?

You could always call your gp and ask them to clarify why it's so early? Or if you've spoken to through epu before maybe call them direct and see if they know why?

Credit- I got called for a scan at 10 weeks as they calculated my due date off a 28 day cycle when I was more like 38 days when ttc! They dont offer nuchal fold in Wales but I got told was too early after scan and got another one at 12 weeks wondering if they have calculated your due date off a standard 28 day cycle?

samtoby

I am nearly 22 weeks and sexy time has significantly reduced. It's been about 4 times since conception.....lol x

Credit, thought id chirp in as im in ni too, I had my 12wk scan at exactly 11weeks, im pretty sure that might be it until 20weeks unless they need to rescan for whatever reason (I went to the ulster btw) you will have your mw appt at 16weeks to break up the time
