Honestly people go on about getting past 12 weeks and the anxiety is over but it’s really not! That time between the 12 week scan and your 20 week scan is so anxiety inducing because you feel so much better and you’re thinking ‘is there anything even in there?!’ The sad reality about pregnancy is, the anxiety never goes away really 🥲 you just find ways to ease it. If you can afford it maybe a private scan but I remember you saying your partner saying to wait? Try and talk him roundEugh I'm having an awful bout of panic this weekend. I hate not knowing what's going on in there and just having to assume/trust that everything is okay between scans. I think I'll feel a million times better when I start feeling movements, but we're coming up to 18 weeks and I've not even felt a flutter, nothing at all. We're seeing lots of my friends today that I've not seen since just before Christmas so I know they'll be congratulating us in person which is so lovely, but it's just making me panic and have the worst thoughts like what if they're congratulating me and baby isn't even okay in there.
He's fine with a scan when I've explained my panic, I've even promised it's not be being sneaky to try and find out the gender and that I'd tell the sonographer not to tell us the gender to respect his wishes to wait. Soonest I can get it Tuesday night though, which isn't ages away but I would love that reassurance before seeing people later today.Honestly people go on about getting past 12 weeks and the anxiety is over but it’s really not!

Try and talk him roundI found that during the 2nd trimester it helped having a private scan to break the wait down. It is such a long wait between 12 weeks and 20 weeks
I second this! We did a private scan at 17 weeks which, as we took our mums with us, they paid for it on the day which was lovely of them. It was really worth it to calm the anxiety, and we even got a 4d image of him! At only 17 weeks you could see all his little facial features, even though he was clearly a little bony stillHonestly people go on about getting past 12 weeks and the anxiety is over but it’s really not!

It might be too late now but you could try calling to see if they’ve had any on the day cancellationsHe's fine with a scan when I've explained my panic, I've even promised it's not be being sneaky to try and find out the gender and that I'd tell the sonographer not to tell us the gender to respect his wishes to wait.

my first was a whoops honeymoon baby which involved a lot of a champagne (very much planned and wanted for the near future, but we conceived literally 3 days after getting married which was not the plan!)Hi, did any of you conceive whilst you were drunk? Does it affect the baby in any way?
Honestly. I’ve been going every single week still as a reason to stretch my legs I’m so sick of the placeAlso totally off topic but I remember us mentioning sephora a while back, they've finally announced their trafford centre opening date, May 16th!
I conceived the beginning of October and had nights away towards the end for my birthday where bottles of champagne and gin were drank haha, as long as you stop when you find out you'll be OKHi, did any of you conceive whilst you were drunk? Does it affect the baby in any way?
Yep! I was very drunk, and got drunk again a few times after before I knew I was pregnant. Baby is absolutely fine. The bigger risks of alcohol come after the placenta takes over at 8-12 weeks as that’s when it could pass from you to the baby.Hi, did any of you conceive whilst you were drunk? Does it affect the baby in any way?
I'm convinced alcohol was the reason we conceived haha. We'd been trying for nearly two years and I'd basically stopped drinking during the two week wait every single month just in case. I decided in December not to worry and not to focus on trying that month so I could enjoy Christmas and New Year without stopping drinking. And that ended up being the month we conceived. Even the night before we found out in mid Jan I'd had a couple of rums. And as far as I'm aware it hasn't affected baby whatsoever.Hi, did any of you conceive whilst you were drunk?

Which ones have they given you? When I was in hospital and they started me on iron tablets (and then stopped them a day laterthose of you that have been anaemic in the third trimester, did the tablets make you incredibly sick? I’m only on day two of taking them and it’s instantly caused my nausea to start again and I’ve just been sick 🥲 I categorically cannot cope with being sick everyday again after how hellish the first 20 weeks of pregnancy were for me
They want me to take these for the next couple of weeks then repeat bloods to see whether an infusion would be necessary. I had one after giving birth to my first and can’t help but feel like I’d prefer getting it over and done with that way. Do you think the midwife would agree to that?
This so lovely!Think I've just had a sign baby brew is a shewe're on weekend away back in my home town, just been on a lovely walk in a nearby park when I saw something poking out of a tree, I picked it up and it's a little pink knitted duck with a name tag on, and it's my name! It's a pretty uncommon name as well so I'm in shock haha. It says on the tag it's a random act of kindness and to please take it home, so we will, baby brew officially has their first handmade little toy
Oh.. of course, it’s ferrous sulfateWhich ones have they given you? When I was in hospital and they started me on iron tablets (and then stopped them a day later) they told me ferrous sulphate was rough on your stomach but ferrous fumerate was gentle and shouldn’t cause any issues.
I was the same before but just buy it. You’ll be more comfy and you only get a few months to wear it so might as well make the most of it.I wasn't planning on buying anything til I really really needed to
