I know all hospitals are different but I would say your appointment letter gets posted a set no of days/weeks before your appointment rather than from the date you notified the hospital.

It is in the same place as before which is making me feel nervous, silly I know because this will have no bearing on the outcome! I was going to attend somewhere more local but they can only do EP scan from 8 weeks as opposed to 6 weeks in this place, so I figure the equipment might be better! Will try to put it out of my mind until then. Still having the odd wave of nausea so clinging to that in the hopes it is an indication all is as it should be.

Baby is healthy and we are expecting a boy ! My Husband is rapt, he is talking over and over again "my son, my son " Happy to get good results and waiting for 11th of November for my another scan.

I am calling it our little dancer because he/ she literally did not stop moving the whole time. Even the sonographer said it was really active. Heart beat is 176bpm, which she said was a good strong one. There were tears when we heard it. It was honestly like the sound of a hundred galloping horses. I didn't realise how worried I was, and how much I was expecting the worst after last time, and it was such a sweet sound that I will never forget. I think we have a little diva on our hands - it was definitely some show :pac::pac: Parents away for two more weeks and I am just dying for them to come back so we can share the news...

Antares35 wrote: » Fantastic news! It's such a relief isn't it? It makes the whole thing so real! Feeling a bit moody/ weepy of late. It's crept in where morning sickness left a vacancy. The joys. There is a lot going on lately at home etc and so it could just be that coupled with hormones, but also am aware of the risk of antenatal depression so keeping an eye on it. We all should just in case! It's not much talked about but is a very real risk. Hope everyone is feeling well and enjoying the bank holiday.

Meeting some friends later this week and tempted to tell them as won't be drinking etc and would be nice to share it. Have had 2 scans now and all is good plus its twins so big news! Can I ask your opinions on what you would do? (a) go along, not drink, make up an excuse (b) pull out of the catch up and meet them the next time or (c) go along and tell them
dragonfly! wrote: » Wow twins thats so exciting! I suppose it depends on how close you are to them. I mean God forbid but if anything were to happen would you be comfortable letting them know? If you would be then I think just tell them, if not then just say you arent drinking? If you are feeling well I wouldnt cancel. Life is short and you wont have much time afterwards

I'm thrilled and relieved she is happy, as we haven't told my parents yet and I am not sure how they will react! Anyway, he mentioned that she is planning to come over for "when the baby is born", which is May 25th hopefully. Initially, I was really happy that she is planning this - as a first time Dad, I think he will need his mam there for a week or two, and I am sure she will be a great support and great help as we adjust to being 3! I just have this little niggly feeling in the back of my mind, that I'll be coming home from hospital exhausted and with a tiny person that I am hoping to breastfeed and I will also have the worry of all that goes with hospitality - making sure bedroom prepared, meals provided etc. I just have a feeing it might be too much. I don't have the heart to say it to him, and I am glad he will have the support of his mum, but I think it would be better if she came when the baby is a couple of weeks old? We also need time as a couple to get used to this new person and become a family of 3. I really don't want to sound mean spirited - she is a lovely woman and clearly has the best intentions. Any ideas how to approach this? He asked me when I want him to take paternity leave and I suggested while his mum is here so that he can look after her and spend time together etc.
