    Hey, I rang the hospital myself and book first scan. You could try the same, I book the rotunda. Have a look on your hospital website or ask a friend . My scan not until mid Feb

    Limerick won't let you do that apparently. They insist on referrals coming direct from GP. I'll give it another day or two to allow for Christmas backlog then I'll ring them to find out. I got my appointment letter around 8 weeks on my first pregnancy and wasn't scanned until i was 13 weeks.

    I've accupture booked for Friday. Thinking I'd love a early scan, had horrible sickness yesterday, big sleep last night I feel good day and all nervous. God my.mind playing ticks on me. Had to tell my boss yesterday cause I nearly vomited in our meeting. She said she thought I was, she said I've the grey colour face. Feeling fab after ����.
    She very good and not saying anything to post scan but prefer to know due to risk and my sickness. Maybe that panicking cause other people know

    I told one of my bosses as I won’t be in on Friday as have scan with consultant.
    Two people in worked asked me if I was pregnant as I was sick. I tried to deny it.
    Very early days and all that!

    Early days I know, my office girls are asking because I'm so k too, I'll see how long I'll get anyway before telling. I always like to wait to 12wweks scan even with early scan

    I never ask anyone if they are pregnant even if they are like obviously pregnant 9 months!! I think it is a bit rude tbh. One person kept asking in front of a group!!!

    Once I get my panorama results all going well I will tell people :)

    Exact same me, why ask people, peolpe only tell thinhs when theyre eady!

    I feel I've turn corner with sickness 🤞🏻 it's last but I'll be 9weeks on Sat, increase in hormones again so not likely long term. I'm like a child, don't want to feel sick but nervous when not sick, like the sickness is reassurance I'm still pregnancy

    Looking forward to scan tomorrow....hopefully all goes well!
    My sickness is no where near as bad as my last two!

    So still no letter from the hospital so I rang this afternoon. I'll get a letter early next week she said, not sure if that's only because I rang or if it was going to be sent then anyway. 10 weeks tomorrow and doing fine so far, hope everyone else is well.

    Found out few weeks ago our 2nd is due mid August. Wasn't amused by it and didnt really give the reaction my OH sought for. I guess it'll probably hit me and I'll be delighted come August. I have enough other things on my plate atm.

    You can feel what you like, they're your feeling! Hope your keeping well

    Hi Folks. How's everyone feeling this week?
    We had a busy weekend, which was great fun but involved a lot of travel, so was absolutely wrecked when I got home last night! No major morning sickness yet (@ 7 weeks) although I've had a couple of bouts of mild nausea in recent days & my muscles & back are quite achey, but overall nothing too bad which is great.

    I was still feeling quite anxious about miscarriage etc & I have some important work decisions as a result of the pregnancy so I decided to book a private early pregnancy scan, which is this Friday, I'll be around 8 weeks so they should be able to confirm a heartbeat & that the baby is in the right location at least - feeling excited & anxious about that.
    9
    In terms of other symptoms, still quite bloated so living in slouchy clothes at the moment!

    Got my bloodwork report back from the GP to bring along to my 1st hospital appt - everything appears to be within the target range, although the iron one looks a little on the low side of normal (27) so probably need to increase the amount of red meat in my diet to improve that. Presumably this will help with fatigue too, so that's my main focus this week.

    Best of luck with the scan, Rebel. Hope it goes really well for you.

    I'm absolutely shattered all day, every day but I can't sleep at night. I'm hoping to see my GP this week and get bloods done as I suspect I'm a bit anaemic.

    I had my 8 week scan last week and everything looked good - baby in the right place and a strong heartbeat. It was such a huge relief. I'm still worried about things going wrong but trying to just focus on the positives and enjoy it.

    Hi all, in particular cherryghost. I'm also due mid August with my 4th and it was a big shock to me to be honest. Still don't know how to feel about it. I am feeling guilty though that I'm not too excited. As a previous poster said, it's okay to feel like this. I'm hoping to feel a bit more positive after my scan at end of month.

    My mother just said to me that I'm showing (not in a mean way!) and to be honest I think she's right. Even my husband thought so. I didn't show this early last time, hard to know if I'm actually "showing" or of its just bloat. I'm only 10+5 so surely it's just bloat but it feels and looks more like a bump. Either way hiding this pregnancy is much more difficult than the last one was.

    Yes I found out the gender because I just couldn't wait, haha :) We're not going to tell anyone yet though. Hope you get your results soon and they're good!

    Sorry your nausea is back, mine is too after feeling fine for almost 2 weeks. :(
