I was told full bladder. NHS leaflet also says full bladder. They usually tell you to empty it halfway through the scan x

If in doubt I always go with a full bladder - it’s easier to empty it if not needed than go with an empty bladder and attempt to quickly fill. Although for one of my private ones they were running a couple of minutes late and I had a water infection so was in absolute agony with how much I needed a wee by the time they started the scan and pressing down on my tummy!
Funnily enough, this morning it feels like baby has moved back to the position it was in and I can feel it tapping away again! I wasn’t anxious because I could still feel movement but it was like muffled which felt different, these babies aye!
16 week midwife appointment today (17 weeks today but there we go) and I heard the heartbeat! First time as they didn’t do it at my scans… So so special, god it’s lovely. 
Having an anterior placenta just feels so stressful ! Some days it feels like my boy has moved over and away from the left side so much that yeah movement just gets muffled a lot
Last night hubby got to feel the taps/kicking a little for the first time and he said ‘is that it’
hopefully he gets why it stresses me out sometimes!In news that will shock no one, I’ve tested positive for gestational diabetes. Have my appt on Wednesday so feel abit like don’t know what I’m meant to be doing until then.
Sorry to hear this, this was me two weeks ago. It's a ball ache! Not a lot you can do until you get your monitor and can test your levels but the diet is low carb, lots of protein, veg and fats.
Did they call you? I haven’t had a call since my test on Tuesday… sorry my love.
I looked up this and I’ve started implementing it in my diet - I guess before your meeting at least you can get your head round it a bit?
Can I ask what your symptoms were? I’m not sure if I should be expecting a positive or not at my test next week. I’ve noticed I’m absolutely ravenous most of the time, get light headed and feel sick if I don’t eat within 15 minutes of feeling that (which is now eating every couple of hours), very thirsty and have a fairly sizeable bump just for 22 weeks. One of the girls at work has just gone on Mat leave at 37 weeks and her bump is about the same size!
I would say most of those things apart from maybe being thirsty are very normal for pregnancy. They certainly were for me at least!
If you had your test Tuesday, I would say they would have called you by nowDid they call you? I haven’t had a call since my test on Tuesday… sorry my love.

Yeah I got a call this morning pretty much 48 hours after the last blood test. She told me a website to look at for dietary advice but not to Google anything else as she didn’t want me to worry myself over the weekend.Did they call you? I haven’t had a call since my test on Tuesday… sorry my love.

So I had what you’re describing with the hypoglycaemia and being thirsty. Not had any indicators in my urine and my bump is measuring 1cm ahead on the fundal chart but that is so inaccurate as my first baby was 9lb2 and they didn’t know until she was born as I measured bang on every time
If you’re worried contact your midwife but what you’re describing is very normal in pregnancy x

I’ve been having popping feelings in my lower abdomen, feel like little pulses. Is this my baby? I’m 17+3 so not sure if it’s too early. Can’t wait to feel him and know it’s him for sure.
Pulses is exactly how I would describe it then, I was about 17 weeks too, sounds like baby
Made my day, thank youPulses is exactly how I would describe it then, I was about 17 weeks too, sounds like baby
