I did and it was accurate! I’m really glad we did it, we didn’t care on gender either way but it was so special finding out and broke the pregnancy up a bit

OMG I’ve just realised you are from the TTC thread too! Congrats!
I shall be doing the sneak peak test in a couple of weeks too x
Hold on, can’t everyone always smell the cold air?
I couldn’t stand the smell of my own hair or, which was totally horrible, the smell of my Mum. Not bo, perfume, laundry stuff or anything specific, just her.

I didn't call the GP. I googled my council area NHS midwife unit and I had to fill in an online form, then a midwife called me about a week later. I had an online chat with her at 10 weeks and my first scan at 12 weeks. I didn't get an option to pick a hospital, just went for the nearest one. I'm in Scotland tho so maybe elsewhere you need to go through your GP.Thanks for all the advice! Yes I’m in the U.K.glad I can choose the hospital I want my care to be at!
@Greencatfysh congratulations!! Wishing you all the best for the coming week
Congrats to all the new mummy's to be!
My glucose test came back fine. So now I'm just panicking as to why I have so much amniotic fluid. I googled it and shouldn't have and nownhave to wait till Thursday to see our consultant.

They’re keeping me in overnight unfortunately :/
Didn’t bring anything with me as thought it would be a quick check, but they’re concerned as there’s still bright red blood and I have a low placenta.

Yes! I love the smell of the cold.Hold on, can’t everyone always smell the cold air?

Almost 21 weeks
They’ve checked baby’s heart rate a few times since being here and it’s all sounded good.
They think the bleeding is likely cause of where my placenta is but it feels a bit tit just being dumped in a bay and left to try sleep (managed maybe only 2-3 hours
) until a dr can come by and give more of a plan in the morning. Though it sounds likely they might want to keep me until I have 24 hours without any bleeding.Sorry to hear all of this. Have you seen the doctor yet? Hopefully you get given a clear plan.Almost 21 weeks

Yes I think the bleeding calmed down now, they’d want me to stay at least til tomorrow it sounds like, but longer if the bleeding picked back up.
I have an abscess in my breast midwife says quite common but obviously more so once baby is here and actually breastfeeding. Been on antibiotics for a week and it’s slightly less angry looking and painful but going back to GP today to let them have another look. I think the next step is incision and drainage 
of all the things I thought would be not so nice in third trimester I wasn’t thinking this

Trying to stay on top of my ‘everything’ shower just in case 
is it okay to get BIAB done? Just wondering if the gel and the uv lamps are safe?
also I know I should limit my caffeine intake, so I’ve stopped all coffee and fizzy drinks, but is decaf alright? Or should I look for something with 0 caffeine like fruit teas?
sorry if these questions are so silly, I have no one else to ask and no midwife yet my gp just referred me today!

my gp just referred me today!I’ve had BIAB and I’ve also still had 1 coffee a day but if you can stick to decaf. I think the recommended limit is 200mg of caffeine so just be aware of other fizzy drinks if you are having coffee!is it okay to get BIAB done? Just wondering if the gel and the uv lamps are safe?

Has anyone had any experiences with carpal tunnel? I was awake most of last night cause my fingers were really painful. I've been wearing wrist supports but they haven't been helping at all now.
I had a low lying placenta and had a few episodes of bleeding too, each time I was kept in as an inpatient until it had been 24 hours since the last bit of bleeding. One point I was there for almost a week, I hope you’re ok?
You’ve done the right thing by getting checked out. Sometimes the bleeding can be from irritation, sometimes it’s the placenta itself moving, or something more severe so always always get seen especially with it being low lying xx
i know it’ll likely vary for every area but how long roughly is it to get the results back from the Down syndrome / edwards / Pataus screening? I can see my NT measurement in badger, and while it’s under the “normal” level it’s at the high end. I actually saw a post elsewhere by someone panicking about a measurement which was smaller than mine which has sent me into a bit of a spiral.. my logical brain knows it’ll likely be fine. Thought the anxiety would ease after the 12 week scan but it just changes clearly 
I've been really suffering with this recently. The wrist supports help a little overnight but there's still a fair bit of pain. The most random every day tasks are so difficult now! I found some exercises online as well which I'm hoping will help over time.
