I also think I’m having a boy no idea why but I just do? How many weeks are you I have lost the plot with who is on which week xx@Kitt my partner was getting on my nerves recently. I went out with a friend, had a bit of a rant on our walk (but explained he is absolutely lovely and trying his best), hes just pissing me off and felt a lot better after
@CrimeJunkie what a horrible experience for you to go through. So happy you were able to have the private scan for reassurance and to have the experience you should have had. A 20 week scan is one that we all look forward to. Awful that the sonographer was so off with you both. There will be other women who won't be able tl book a private scan and will only have your first experience to go home with. Glad you complained.
@Chickenandgravy i dont know why, but i have a feeling im having a boy. I think i might be a 16 or 17 week scan (to find out) ans then see what is said at the 20 week scan like @Kitt. Ill keep you updated. Im so excited to find out
Also, baby was clearly busy last night. I was ravenous at 5pm for food, had a big bowl of pasta at 6, then felt instantly knackered and went to bed at 8.30. Think i slept over 9 hours (according to my fitbit)!!
I slept with my the big bit of my pregnancy pillow last night and absolutely loved it. Supportive at the back and by the knees.
God I'm so sorry to hear this but glad your private one went well and congrats! Definitely wise to complain, that's shocking behaviour and shoddy work.I had my 20 week scan today and had the worst experience ever with the sonographer. So bad that I burst into tears as soon as we walked out and couldn't stop cryingShe was the most rude, unfriendly person I've ever had the displeasure of meeting!
- She had a go and me and my partner because he was waiting outside but not close enough to the doors so she had to wait about 20 seconds for him to walk in. She shared her annoyance about this to me and also in the room when my partner was there saying if she had to wait for everyone's partners to walk in she would be working until midnight!
- Told me off for not having a full bladder, like actually told me off!! Said she needed to spend too much time trying to look at the organs because the picture wasn't very clear and this was because I hadn't drank enough!? She was scanning me for 45 minutes and it started to hurt so much I had to ask her to stop.
- Mumbled under her breath the whole time (I think she was telling us what she was looking at, but who knows)
- Told me she could see the heart but couldn't get a good enough image to check if there were any holes and that we couldn't go back for another scan because they are at capacity! Also could only find one kidney and couldn't measure the stomach properly.
- She asked half way through if I had any questions about what was on the screen. I said no (close to tears at this point). I expected her at the end to ask if we wanted to know the gender but she didn't, so I asked. She huffed at me and said "I already asked if you had any questions and you said no", put the scanner back on my stomach and then said "I think it's a girl but if you buy anything make sure you keep the receipts". I know it's never 100% but wtf?!
My partner and I were gobsmacked! She ruined the whole experience and I came out feeling absolutely awful. Luckly we managed to book private scan for 2 hours later which was amazing and exactly how I had imagined it. They confirmed all is fine and managed to check everything the lady at the NHS couldn't. Plus we found out we're having a little girl!!
Sorry for the massive rant and thanks if you've read this far, just needed to get it off my chest! Hope you're all okay x
My partner was fuming!I would have wanted to slap him across the face. What an asshole. Were you asking for diet advice? No. Is he a midwife? No. Fuck off and do the scan like a professional. Dick!!
Im 10+3 - due end of septI also think I’m having a boy no idea why but I just do? How many weeks are you I have lost the plot with who is on which week xx
I have been feeling very sick and nauseous and it still hasn’t passed I am 14 weeks on Friday. I am due on September 4th I don’t feel constantly sick like I did from weeks 7 - 12 but finding foods I want to eat or just eating in generally is hard turns my tummyIm 10+3 - due end of septhow about you?
I dont know why im feeling boy. I havent been sick and for some reason thats made me think boy.. Haha
So sorry to hear you had to go through that! It’s quite frightening to hear people like that manage to get away with behaving like that in role with such implications.My partner was fuming!
It got to the point where this time, a guy called me in to the waiting room and he looked very similar and I panicked! I debated leaving and missing my scan because I was so worried it was him again!
Blood tests are this Friday and im waiting to get a letter with a date for my 12 week scan. Very much excited.I have been feeling very sick and nauseous and it still hasn’t passed I am 14 weeks on Friday.

Your 12 week scan must be soon are you excited xxx
You're doing well! He'd be shocked at my current dietBlood tests are this Friday and im waiting to get a letter with a date for my 12 week scan. Very much excited.
Anyone elses partners taking an interest in what you eat?
So far today i have eaten:
Brekkie- cereal with fruit and a decaf tea
Snacks- pear, kiwi, apple
Lunch- lettuce, cucumber, some over chips and an oven breaded chicken. Two drinks and a decaff tea. Tiny bit of chocolate.
Got judged for eating 'freezer food'

hahaha this really made me laugh - quite right!! Your diet sounds great tbh.Haha i am and was before i got pregnant. I have shamed him with your responsesand also suggested if he ain't happy with what im eating, he could perhaps be organised and cook some healthy dinners for us this week..
Otherwise my body, my choice palhahaha
hahaha this really made me laugh - quite right!! Your diet sounds great tbh.
My husband is the bad food influence in our relationship so he cannot lecture me on anything (though I do 90% of the cooking and have successfully turned him ‘mostly’ veggie). That said, I’ve just had spaghetti hoops and grated Parmesan on toast for lunch
No judgement, I bloody love a freezer (or tinned) meal! Especially now almost every. single. meal. is cooked at home it’s nice to have a bit of a break from washing up 5 pans!My fella enjoys take aways, the odd kebabs, crsios as a snack pre dinner, a few drinks in the evening - hes hardly a shiny beacon of health, but because im preggo, he pulls a face if i make any meals from freezer food haha. To be fair, he pulled a face at freezer food before i was preggo too.. Dude aint a fan of freezer food, although i think its amazing when you need food quick and don't want to cook!
I keep getting headaches as well so bad yesterday I had to go sleep really early and I couldn’t focus on work at all. I really hate it so I have given in a taken paracetamol because it was so bad and enjoy your takeaway sounds lovely what are you going to have I quote fancy a curry but my other half is not into them.Christ these headaches are becoming a regular occurance so annoying! My MIL is having my son over for a sleepover on Saturday (childcare bubble) he's only stayed over twice before he's 16 months now but I am so excited for a lie in and a takeaway
Congratulations and yes possibly like a private scan as we don’t usually get one until around 12 weeks here. I have PCOS and probably endometriosis cycles are all over the shop and the pain was intense. However I am now 13 weeks and 4 days I still can’t believe it if I’m honest! I hope your scan goes well x I am also still tiredAnyone else feeling like a zombie?
I'm soooo tired and can't focus at all
Other than that no real issues yet, so I'm counting my blessings!
Also very excited, as I have my first scan in 3 weeks (and a day)I'm from Belgium and the scan is with my gynaegologist, so I guess it'd be considered a private scan in the UK? I'm not sure.
Told my manager and closest colleagues yesterday (the also knew about my struggles with PCOS and are so supportive), they were all so nice and happyI'l be 6 weeks this Thursday, so it's still very early, but it just felt right to keep them in the loop.
Am sure someone else on here had theirs on a Sunday night! V strange time but at least they’re getting you booked inI was due to have my first midwife appointment (booking appointment?) over the phone tomorrow afternoon, just got a text to say it’s been cancelled and rearranged for Saturday at 6.30pm! Not the end of the world but I’ve been told it’ll take around an hour and a half, so it’s bang in the middle of dinner time/Saturday night chilling out on the sofa time
