Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 4!!

I think I may have to tell my boss tomorrow. I have had a call today from my midwife saying my blood test revealed I may have Thalassemia. She asked that both me and my hubby went for another blood test tomorrow at the maternity unit at the hospital.

My hubby does not finish work early enough to go this week so I have arranged that I will go tomorrow, have my sample taken and get the forms so that hubby can go to our local doctors this week for his sample taken.
I just have to go between 9 and 4pm so I am guessing I may be waiting a while to be seen? So I guess I will have to tell my boss. Unless I can think of some other excuse for leaving work for a few hours....
My iron level was 9 so I had to pick up a prescription of Ferrous Sulfate.


I thought my pg was going to smoothly... at least when the FS kicks in I may not feel as tired.

Daisiegg, I think it must be so normal to worry!


My mum has said I have to stop being so negative. I am not sure if it is because of a lack of symptoms that I do not feel pg or because I daren't get attached before the scan but I do not feel I have bonded with the bean as much as others might have. My husband pats my tummy, kisses it and sometimes even talks to it already yet I have no urge to do such things. Is this just me?


I am still convinced there might not be anything there at the scan

Jen, i haven't bonded in any way, shape or form. I daren't think about the future and gender, names etc. My oh asked me when we were going to mamas and papas before as we should start looking at things. He was also picking out the nursery furniture in ikea before.

I think it's a self preservation thing, as excited as he is all I can think about is what if something goes wrong. The idea of going to the 12 wk scan and everything coming crashing down is hard to handle. It's not real until thats gone successfully (in my admitedly screwed up mind!) i read the stats that daisy posted in one of the books I bought as soon as I got my bfp and am almost tempted to hedge my bets and pay for a private 10 week scan....

T2D. So glad they saw everything where it's supposed to be. Got everything crossed for your scan next week.

The last time I managed to get to a 12 week scan, I was given the news I had had a mmc, and ushered out the back door up to the epu.

I have my 12 week scan on 20th Feb, and my OH announced yesterday he is not going to be able to make it. He hasn't actually managed to make it to any of my scans this time, but I am particularly upset about this one. I know it's not his fault, it's half term week and his equivilant has booked the time off work already.

I am now dreading it.

Aww AnyName, I really feel for you. Is there absolutely no way your OH can pop out just for an hour or 2?


My 12 weeks scan is on Monday and I'm very nervous, although as previously said by others, there's no reason to be, that I'm aware of. I've had different types of sickness and nausea, currently battling a bad cold.


Fortunately, my Husband can make it but only really because it's half term and we're both teachers so off work.

Just dropping in to say I had a mmc found out at the 12 week scan, it was so unexpected and I was devestated. When I fell again I just could not get too excited for fear of what had happend before. It is completly normal I was told but I felt like I was the only person this had happened to and the forums brought me great comfort.

I have a doppler and found the heartbeat at about 11 weeks. It took nearly an hour and I was starting to panic so I don't recommend it. From about 14 weeks I could find it pretty much in a couple of minutes.

My OH was very forward in looking at things the first time but this time round he hasn't been. We will be nearly 30 weeks when we go and look at prams as we have booked a date together due to work commitments. We all take things in our own time, some were buying prams and furniture at 12 weeks, I didn't buy anything myself until after my 20 week scan.

It only feels like I was here yesterday and time has gone so fast since the 12 week scan, before that it seriously dragged lol :rotfl:

i have had three early scans now, last one was at 9 1/2 weeks so I know there's a good chance everything is ok.

Ali my appointment is at 9am, so thought he would be able to go in late, but he thinks not. I am guessing he hasn't told anyone at work I am pregnant, otherwise if he explained what the appointment was for I am sure no one would mind.

I am wondering whether to bring a friend along. Trouble is, she will likely have her 14 month old with her, and I am not sure I need that if it's bad news.

tcd, I am so glad I am not the only one who thinks this way. Since getting the BFP I want this baby more than I ever knew before, but I am a bit of a glass half empty sort of person so always think worse case scenario.

Anyname, my husband has also said he my not be able to get the day of work. I will be so upset if he does not manage to sort something. One of my worse fears is that I will go into labour while he is a work and I will not be able to get hold of him and he misses it all!

Hi,
I'm glad its not just me that isn't quite bonded yet. Even yesterday I was strangely accepting when I thought I was losing the pregnancy. TTC feels a much more familiar world!
I'm too scared now to do anymore HPTs. I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed for next Wednesday. It's hard to believe there is anything going on when I feel more and more normal each day.

Worrying is definitely a standard thing now. I just want to rush to 12 weeks!

jenand8285

Will you have another scan before 12 weeks t2d? Maybe that time you will get to hear the heartbeat.

I have been a little up and down with worry, up to 6 weeks I was quite worried, then I calmed down a little but know I am just anxious for the 12 week scan. Three weeks tomorrow and counting!
