I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry! Every pregnancy is different.. On my last I had terrible period like pains & real sore boobs & this time I've none of that! Infact the only thing I've had this time is terrible nausea (which I had last time too) but other than that I don't feel pregnant at all..
I'm so glad you're doing well Yellow & Cunning (even if nervous) looking forward to hearing about your scan on Friday
Have you a date on your scan Yellow?
Java I hope that little'un makes their grand enterance soon for ya! Did you get the sweep or is that this week?0 -

Hey Tigress!
The sweep is on thursday so I'm trying everything to avoid it!!!
Have had an UNREAL increase in pressure today, when I feel baby's head move, I swear it feels as if it's in my bum!!
Gonna spend an hour on my ball now,then bring the hairy baby for a long walk and see if anything stirs...:D
How are you all?? Your in Portlaoise?0 -

I am such a bloody moron. I had my first consultant appointment today but had it written in my diary right over the information about my antenatal classes which will be on Thursdays, so managed to get it in my head that the appointment was on Thursday this week instead. I'd even checked it today, to double check the time but completely missed the part where it said July 10th.
The first I knew about it was a few hours ago when a midwife at the hospital rang to ask if I was ok.
On the other hand at the exact time of the appointment I was closely examining the ceramics in the bathroom to give myself something to look at while I threw up into them. (I actually managed to hit the triple crown of sink, toilet and bath, as every time I thought it had stopped I started to walk out and it started up again.) And then I followed that up with a bout of severe diarrhoea.0 -

Oh wow Java that sounds promising!! I'm hoping to come on tomorrow and see you have some news hehe!
Oh Iguana
I hope this eases for you soon! You poor thing! I think you might be right in that the stress prob added to it.. Just take it easy & eat little but often if you can. Xxx
Yellow that's great that you have a date to go in very exciting getting to tell people you'll get to see a good bit at 9.5 weeks too! Make sure to tell them to turn the volume up on the scanner though! I didn't know until the end of my last pregnancy but they keep the volume turned of but I you ask them to turn it up you'll get to hear the heartbeat aswell 0 -

Hope the scan goes well I love the reassurance it brings. I had incredibly sore boobs when pregnant with my daughter. Even my clothes brushing off them had me in agony. Yet there wasn't a bother on them with my last pregnancy.
Hope all is going well 0 -

Hi ladies. Just a quick question from a nana- to-be.
Is it normal for some hospitals not to do a scan around 20 weeks?
My daughter had a scan in early May and all was well.
She's 18 weeks now but has no scan appointment until October.
That seems a long time to me
Can/should her GP send her just to be sure things are progressing ok.0 -

What hospital is she with? That seems a long time.. Usual they do a scan between 20-24 weeks to rule out cleft lip & other problems. I'd call the hospital and just make a sooner appointment! If she's nervous about anything she can go into the hospital at anytime & they should scan her then.. At least this was my experience!0 -

Thanks for the replies
I said it to her now and she said she had double checked with the hospital and they said shes not getting a 20 week scan
But then again, her dates aren't the hospital dates either. By her dates shes due 12/11/12, but the midwife wrote down 12/12/12. Thats a month out.
We need to get on to the GP I think and get it sorted asap.
@ Tigress.. shes with The Maternity in Limerick0 -

Sounds like the midwife made an error on the EDD! I'd def get that sorted! Otherwise if she doesn't go herself it'll be a long wait! I hope you get it sorted! You can always change hospitals if you're not happy with the other one too so keep that in mind 0 -

Chucken sorry I misread your first mail, I didn't realise she already had a previous scan. I thought it would be her first scan in October.
With cutbacks a lot of the hospitals only do 2 x scans now. One at booking to date the pregnancy & ensure all is well, the second one closer to delivery time. So it might just be the case with her hospital.
It'd be no harm mentioning in to her GP though & tell him there's a discrepancy between her dates & the hospitals.
Hope all goes well for your daughter 0 -

Thank you We're surprising her with a 3d scan in a few weeks so what we'll do is get the anatomical one as well (is that what its called 
)
Jebus this child is costing nana a fortune already :pac:
Now all this talk of sweeps and painful boobs has me (cringing hehehe) wishing you all the very best.
I'll probably be back again

Looks like the sweep worked for me today.
Went in to be told I was already 1-1.5cm dilated and very favourable, got the sweep.
Been very uncomfortable since, doctor told me I would feel period cramps but that they would ease off, if anything they have gotten worse and have had a few bloody shows!
it's all very exciting and nerve wrecking!
Oh that's amazing Java!!! Very best of luck hope it all starts soon for you but by the sounds of things you won't be waiting long xxx 0 -

I always seem to be the bearer of bad news on this thread
My scan showed that the pregnancy had failed at an early stage, so I had an op to remove it yesterday.
I had mentioned before here that I was worried about a lack of 'proper' pregnancy symtoms so I guess I was subconsciously prepared for what would happen. So there were no hysterics.- I believe the body knows best in these cases.
I think I will be taking a break from the whole baby making thing for a while.
In time we may try again.
I wish you all the very best of luck0 -
