Hi! #2 on the way here too.
My dates were giving me late July but had a private scan yesterday that put me at 6+5, which makes sense because I'm almost certain I ovulated late. Was such a relief to see heartbeat. Now have a due date of early August.
Very nauseous and fatigued all day, not easy with a toddler but sure it's all part of it. Delighted and excited and wondering how I'm going to keep it a secret from family over Christmas... the absence of a wine glass in my hand will definitely be noted!
Antares, that must be really tough but you'll get through it. Our friends had a similar age gap and they thought of it as getting the crap/sleepless nights era out of the way in one go! And their two are great pals now.0 -

It's so exciting isn't it. I love hearing the heartbeat for the first time. I hear you re the wine. All this year I kept saying "at least this Christmas I can drink" - looks like I put the mockers on it. 0 -

Congratulations Lily Rose! I got my first scan privately a few weeks ago. I was 8 weeks according to my dates, but they said I was measuring 6+6. I was a little worried because I knew our "accident" date and so the baby seemed a bit behind but she said since my last pregnancy was only a short while ago, my cycle probably hadn't regularised yet and ovulation was way late.LilyRose2021 wrote: »Congratulations Antares! I’m due August 27th with my first - hope you don’t mind me asking but how far gone were you when you got your first scan? And did you get it done privately? I’m completely new to this and it’s hard to get info on it anywhere 🀔 I have been to my doctor but I’m not sure what I should be doing next 🙈
We went to the ultrasound clinic on Grafton st. I always find them really professional and they have very strict covid regulations in place to keep us all safe Their early scan can be done from as early as 6 weeks I believe.
It's entirely up to yourself, some maternity hospitals will do a scan at the booking appointment (12-14 weeks) but some won't. It can be nice to have an earlier scan and just have that peace of mind that there's a heartbeat, the pregnancy is in the right place (not ectopic) and that there's just one!
Have you registered with a maternity hospital yet?0 -

Hi All,
Am cautiously joining after following you all for a week now! I had a private scan with my husband today and heartbeat looks strong (measuring 6+6 so due 31st August).
It will also be my third baby, but 4th pregnancy - I had a missed miscarriage in October which resulted in a D&C at 8 weeks - so I'm a lot more nervous this time around.
Am seeing my consultant in the Coombe next Monday so hopefully it's plain sailing from now on for all of us!
Congratulations 0 -

Hi August mamas, how are you all doing?
I'm 15 weeks now and finally getting over the exhaustion and nausea, thank Christ! Although I've picked up a terrible headcold/sore throat that I was worried was Covid... we all had to have tests there the other day but they thankfully came back negative so reckon it's just a bad dose, made worse by the fact that I can't take any decongestant etc... arrgh!
Does anyone know if Holles Street is still letting partners in for the anomaly scan? Their website was last updated on Dec 9th and says they are, but that was before this Level 5 ****e and it's very strange that the Rotunda/Coombe have stopped and Holles Street are continuing to let them in.
Lilalu, I'd hoped that the pandemic would mean that less people would be having babies and that'd mean less waiting times - but my first booking appt last month was just as busy! No baby bust in Ireland, it seems 0 -

Love your username! I'm 15 weeks too, 16 on Sunday. Still haven't told anyone except OH (and all of Boards haha). I know I should tell my boss but I keep putting it off, only just back from mat leave!
I got a letter from NMH for the anomaly scan and it said to go alone, but that letter was issued back in mid Jan so not sure if it's up to date. Usually if you email the outpatients clinic they are quick to respond. 0 -

I must get onto them and ask, so. Hopefully they are. I got the same letter but then the website says otherwise.
Not planning on telling my boss until after the 20 week mark, at least!0 -
This thread is fierce quiet these days
Hope everyone is doing well. My bump has well and truly popped, nearly 19 weeks now so no hiding it! I'm feeling mostly grand, bump feels quite heavy some days which I don't remember on my first, but feeling loads of movement which is lovely. I'm a bit concerned with the weight gain so far. I've put on just over a stone which seems a bit much for this early in the pregnancy, from everything I've read... eek. The carbfest and crisps that I indulged in during the first trimester is coming back to haunt me! I put on 2.5 stone with #1, so trying to make a good effort not to reach for crap mindlessly now.
Otherwise I'm looking forward to my big scan in a couple of weeks, getting that done and finding out the sex. Is everyone else planning to find out? I'm too much of a control freak not to know 0 -

That's great to hear Xalot I've the big scan coming up next week. Haven't told anyone yet except obviously OH and a few close friends. Haven't told work and I keep waking up saying to myself Ill tell them today but I just feel so bad. I know they will be very nice about it but that makes me feel worse
I'm convinced we have another girl on the way, just have a feeling but who knows! Definitely find out next week. Although I'd love the surprise of finding out just when he or she arrives, but I don't have the patience!
I feel like I can't relax and enjoy the pregnancy until I get telling my boss out of the way.
Also worried about weight gain as I didn't lose baby weight from my first! And definitely feeling heavier and weighed down more this time. I'm 19 weeks but feel the same way I felt at about 30 weeks on my first. Definitely if we weren't WFH work would have guessed by now!0 -
