How long does it take to get appointment for the scan, it's been 3 weeks since I ent to the docs, and I've heard nothing since, it's my first so not sure what's happening
Did you fill out a form for referral to your hospital? Because it is them that organises the scans, not the GP
With my first, I went to the doctor late October and had my scan date at the start of December for early January (I was nearly 14 weeks pregnant). This time I skipped my GP and contacted my hospital directly. I got my scan date in the post a week after I phoned them! 0 -

I signed the forms but the gp sent them off, he said I'd get the date in post0 -

I feel ya, was almost 14 weeks when I got my first scan. I had worked myself into such a tizzy that I had an episode in the waiting room, convinced the baby was dead/was missing a head/only had one arm etc. If we had the money at our disposal, I'd be going for a private scan the second I could be assured of a heartbeat!

Only found out last wk due to constant nausea & vomiting, sore breasts and lower tummy cramping. had an early pregnancy scan last wk due to the cramping and all is ok. This is my third child. Have a 12 & 6 yr old daughters & had been trying for this baby going on 5 yrs now. Nice to meet you all x
Congrats, been a long time coming for you! I had bad cramping with both my pregnancies, have a retroverted uterus so it has to bend when I get pregnant, ouch! 0 -

Ouch indeed really does sound painful. Had been told last yr from doctors I'd stopped ovulating so I lost about 50lbs in the past yr and regular exercise & it seemed to have done the trick 0 -

How's everyone getting on?
10.5 weeks now and my scan is Monday. Hopelessly terrified that they're going to give me bad news (I've been having dreams that there was just no baby and I got diagnosed with a phantom pregnancy!!) for some weird reason.
Totally convinced I've felt movement at this point (always read conflicting evidence on this) and certainly was sure I got a bit of movement yesterday. As a sufferer of IBS and trapped wind, I'm no stranger to the sensation, so I absolutely know whatever it was was not wind, but I wouldn't rule out a uterine twitch. Still, it would be nice to think it was a little one - I felt my first move from 13 weeks and everyone insisted I couldn't, until I was able to prove it with the ultrasound
I. Look. Massive! Weighed myself this morning and I'm actually 1lb lighter than last week, but I look about 4 sizes bigger. All my bottoms are unwearable because of the size of my stomach, and I have to wear baggy clothes if I'm going out. Got asked by two people today if I was pregnant again, and two people I'm very friendly with at that - was miserable telling them I wasn't only for me to be announcing I am on Monday!
Symptom wise my two main complaints are fatigue and hunger. Last time around I had no commitments and could literally nap at will. This time around, I can barely nap at all, and I'm so tired that I make horrific ad stupid mistakes day-to-day! Despite three good and healthy meals per day (and plenty of fruit and veg), I am getting so hungry between meals that I get the shakes and cold sweats, like I haven't eaten in days! It comes in waves, sometimes mere minutes after a meal, and I can have anything from one to ten bouts of it before I have another meal! My killer craving is soft boiled eggs with melted cheese on it. And if I don't eat it, I start to get nauseous (and since I have a deathly fear of vomiting, I tend to roll with the craving :pac: ). Spoke with my doctor about it and he was very confident that I could have soft boiled eggs once the whites were fully set and they were store-bought and not free range from home or a local farm etc. Also had a relatively strong craving for Heineken. Given I don't actually drink, it's pretty odd, but the smell makes my mouth water! Last time I was constantly after Smirnoff Ice, but I figured out after a few weeks it was actually lemon that did the trick!
So, after a serious rambling, how is everyone else doing?0 -

Hi hun hope the scan goes well for you. I've felt some movement too last night. My morning sickness has mostly gone as long as i stick to toast which I've been living off the last few wks but its better than the alternative. Had a scan last wk due to light bleeding & all is good. am 11 weeks now tuesday & all symptoms bar the breast soreness has eased thank god.
No weight gain or cravings yet but have a very small bump :P0 -

Oh we're at the same dates so far then I'm 11 weeks Tuesday as well! Well I've not been to a midwife or GP yet, but my sister is a trainee midwife and she worked out dates for me :pac:
18 hours and counting for the scan, I'm soooo nervous! All the symptoms I'm having and the movement I'm pretty sure I'm feeling, OH said if my dreams are true and there's no baby there he's taking me to the vets to be put down 0 -

I don't have my scan til the 25th, I'm sure all will be fine. I'm also having some fairly out there dreams. I'm sure its all down to hormones & anxiety xx0 -

monday monday wrote: »Hi
I was 10 weeks on Saturday there and had a private scan the previous saturday at 9 weeks. a good strong heartbeat and everything looking well. like your wife my symptoms just more or less stopped just before that scan. now I wasn't dreadfully sick to begin with only slight nausea and sore boobs. and in the last week the extreme tiredness has gone. so try not to worry( but I know how hard that is, I'm still worrying).
I'm 11 weeks tomorrow, scan in 2.5 hours but I've started to get movement so I'm happy enough. My symptoms come and go and until recently I didn't have much of any! Unless she is cramping and/or spotting, I wouldn't worry too much! 0 -
