The rotunda do a second trimester scan and bloodwork feom 14 to 21 weeks to test for DS. then if there's a high risk you can opt for the amnio.
I'm in Rotunda on Fri for 12 wk scan so might ask them re this. If I can get it done public rather than pay through the nose privately I might even be able to get my car tax paid some time this century
I was sure to get that specific scan it has to be 11.2-13.6 weeks for some reason. Sure I'll ask anyway and see what they say.0 -

Thats the nuchal fold scan! I was too late for that thats why they suggested the second trimester scan. im doing it in newry because its closer than thw rotunda and its costing 105pounds as opposed to 250euro.

Silly, I am living in Co. Waterford, but equidistant from Cork/Waterford, so am going to CUMH. Am 12 weeks and 1 day, have my scan today week - can't wait!
Cyning, have so much pity for you being in hospital again. That is tough going, but at least baba is ok.
Think my energy is coming back and the nausea is lifting, but insomnia is back with a vengence, plus 3 times a night loo trips. Am living in tights, knee boots and dresses with cardies to keep things covered - trying to get away with not telling work til end of the month, but have a nice little bump now! A third of the way!!! Thank god!!!
Hope every else is doing ok.0 -

I'm really having to get creative with my wardrobe to cover my bump. How many weeks/months will you be when you tell them? On all my work trousers there is a zip, two clasps and a button. Walking around I can manage the zip & one clasp. When I'm sitting down I nearly have my trousers completely open (covered by my top - and I'm in my own office, phew). But I think I'm still too small to go into maternity trousers. But then I don't want to go the next size up as my arse & thighs will be swimming in them & it will look weird. :mad:
I'm wondering if I can make it to mid Feb (I'm 11.5 weeks now) before saying anything. We've been going through a stressful time in work the past couple months with redundancies and we are down to the absolute bare bones skeleton crew. I think I'd like to let things settle out more & get smoother before I land this bombshell on my boss, don't want to make him go more grey as he's been a good boss to me!
I reckon most people wouldn't ask anything til the bump looked about 4 months on as prior to that, it's really debatable whether a woman just looks a bit paunchy What do ye think? 0 -

I just got a letter asking me to give another urine sample with my GP - no other details whatsoever. Does anyone have any clue why this might be?
It's mad that at a time when we should be keeping calm, our nerves are shot to pieces and our stress levels are through the roof! And we can't even take anything to calm oursevles down.
Hope the hospital can shed some light on the need for another urine sample. It could be something simple like the sample was contaminated in the lab or lost and they need you to give a second one.But I think I'm still too small to go into maternity trousers. But then I don't want to go the next size up as my arse & thighs will be swimming in them & it will look weird. :mad:
I got a couple of pairs of work trousers in the sale in Mothercare that just have elasticated pieces in the waist band. They had 50% off last week when I was in there so I got two pairs for about €30. I got a couple of long t-shirts in Penny's and wear them under everything so you can't see the elasticated bits.
Think I'll keep the trousers for Christmas from now on!
Finally got through to the outpatients in Portlaoise today. They had me down for the wrong consultant which wasn't a big deal, they were quickly able to change it and gave me an appointment on Friday, January 27! woohoo!
I asked OH if he wanted to cancel tomorrow's appt, coz we can't really afford the €100 straight after Xmas, but he's like a child waiting for Santa so wouldn't hear of it. He rang his parents last night and told them that we would be over to show it to them after the scan and everything! So cute
Trying to concetrate on the happy thoughts coz I'm a bit peeved at the hospital. The receptionist said oh yeah, we recevied your letter on December 15, but a month later they still hadn't sent me out an appointment.0 -

Nice, 15 weeks, am counting the days off every week - wishing it away so I am! I had 2 spotting episodes and after going back over my dates, both times were when my period would have been due, so I am waiting to see if I get any spotting in 2 weeks time again when I would have been due my AF. I have been getting my blood taken every 2 weeks to check progesterone/iron levels and I find if you pinch yourself while they are putting the needle in it can distract you from the needle, it hurts, but in my little mad world it works for me!!!

If you think the Bio-Oil is going to do any good, start using it now!
I am 14 weeks pregnant tomorrow, and I already have one large one on the right of my belly, and about 10 small ones on the left. Grrr.
I moisturise daily anyway as I usually have pretty dry skin if left to it's own devices, and I had been using the Palmers stretch mark stuff on and around the bump - but fat lot of good it did me! But as Mink said, if you're prone to them, they're going to happen even if you bathe in nothing but Bio Oil 0 -

Had my first scan in the gp's surgery today.
We were both blown away, amazing!
Babes was kicking away, even gave me a little wave
I'm still smiling a few hours later. Can't wait for appt in hospital in a couple of weeks to see the little one again.
We Cldnt believe how clear it was, I cld make out fingers and everything. The machine didn't print out but doc was lovely and encouraged oh to take lots of pics on his phone and was getting different angles for him and everything.
Found my old bottle of bio oil so going to start using it now. A friend recommended some lotion that clarins do and zinc tablets too!0 -

I'm okay.... hoping to go to Limerick tomorrow (while I still have the effects of all the glucose they gave me!) buy a new fridge, buy some maternity clothes and just forget about being sick for a a few hours... thats all I want
My veins just hate me at the best of times: they had to try half way between my hands and elbow this time too and even at that they were having awful bother.
And 9 months :eek: at least it's gauranteed to be over in 9 months for me...
On a plus note I can not get enough of mint crisp bars and salty chips... desperately unhealthy though!!0 -

Java which hospital did you go to? It really is the luck of the draw who you get. Do you think it might be worth it at all to make a complaint and see if you can get rescanned on a different machine?
Went well in Rotunda today. I have to say, all the staff were really lovely, it's just so badly signposted that all us newbies didn't know where we were going or who we were seeing half the time. One of us would figure it out and tell the next girl who came down the hall! Was there 2.5hrs
The scan was unreal. I can't get over how much the baby has grown in 3 weeks!! The prints that came out don't look like much but on screen it was so cool to see. Could see the shape of the face and the little hands and feet. That child is seriously bating the sh1te out of me in there, I'm worried re when they are big enough for me to feel it! I can't believe how active baby is, just jumping all over the gaff. I sort of knew to expect it from what others had said re their 12 wk scan but it was still a shock.
Get to see them again Tuesday for the private NT scan 0 -
