    About 100 euro these days for private scans. The RCSI unit in the Rotunda is very good, it's not in the main hospital, it's in a building at the back. They do dating scans and I think 3d/4d scans too.

    Thanks for the heads up on the scan. I have just booked myself in for a scan at 12 weeks with these guys - costs €100

    Has anyone started using Bio Oil or another moisturiser yet. I have only been using Bio Oil since Friday (morning and night) and have already gone through about a 1/6 of the bottle! It's pretty expensive - so fingers crossed it works...

    Apparently the boots version is half the price and just as good.

    Bio-oil is just a very nicely scented oil with some fancy pants marketing. I Any oil would do.

    My first scan is on 10th October as well. At the Rotunda. Cant wait. This is my first pregnancy and with every pinch i keep imagining the worst scenarios. Im so scared sth might happen i cant sleep. And of course being overly emotional right now does not help. Is this normal? I cant wait to see the first scan and hopefully everything is fine and i can relax a bit.
    Is anyone else feeling this way too?

    It doesn't get easier as it goes on... this is my fourth and every day I worry that something is going to go wrong. Every little leak, or what feels like it from down there has me rushing to the loo to check that everything is OK.

    This is my second and I'm the very same. I'd a really bad day yesterday woke up in pain and spent the day gettin sick which I never got sick first time round just felt it. You never stop worrying even after there born. I think it's a mammy thing you'll always worry

    Feel safe enough posting after my early scan this morning. Had an ectopic and miscarriage last year so had to had to have an early scan today. Baby is where it should be and heartbeat was plain to see. I'm 7 weeks and 1 day and couldn't believe my luck that this time around everything is going well.

    For any of ye with morning sickness the midwife recommended motion sickness wristbands. I've been using them since yesterday and they've really taken the edge off. They can be slightly uncomfortable but the pros outweigh the cons.

    Have my scan this afternoon, time on letter is 15.40, wondering how early I should get there, seeing kind of mixed things online about wait times in CUMH.

    Any ideas ladies?

    I am convinced I can feel this little bean moving around in there... it's too low down to be gas or a rumbling tummy... It's definitely little flutters and only when I'm not doing anything I can notice them... I said it to my partner last night, I was that convinced.
