Pregnancy #67

I ended up having a (private) scan at 7 weeks pregnant, thinking I was 8 or 9 weeks pregnant based on tracking my cycles. Turns out I’d ovulated at least a week late, haha! But anyway, you can get a scan from 6 weeks but the later you leave it, the more you can see. I saw a funny little smudge with a heartbeat wiggling away. Was still totally special to see though! But yeah, I found those early days and weeks really hard, you can see or feel anything and you almost forget sometimes!
 
I would put myself at approximately 6 weeks pregnant but my cycles were pretty irregular too so not sure. I dont wanna go for a scan for them to say its too early. Any other ideas? Lool
Im not sure there’s very much you can do. If it was too early they’d offer a rescan for a later date

No other ideas but I turned out to be 6 weeks when I went for the scan and there was my wee baby in the screen. I mean it just was a wee dot but it was there

I’m getting annoyed with my husband and baby names. We had a boy first and deciding his name was the most frustrating thing ever. Husband and I were so far apart and he hated all my choices. In the end, my husband ended up finding a name which I liked and we used but it was definitely my husband’s choice. We are now having a girl and it’s the same thing again. We are closer in terms of girl’s names but the one I love he is saying no to and pushing his choice on me (which is nice but not what I would choose without him). I wish I could just choose without him!

I feel you so much. I was so smug and I have just been heaving in the bathroom. So much for “morning” sickness.
Hopefully it doesn’t cause too much of an issue for you 💕

Week 21 and I am eating like an actual animal. From someone who was repulsed by everything in the first trimester, baby boy now wants meat at every meal time + copious amounts of chocolate fingers. I’m gonna be a whale 🥲

As someone whose appetite fell of a cliff in the final weeks of pregnancy, I would suggest to eat whatever you want whenever you want it as never know when your appetite could drop. I flew through most of my pregnancy and never had even a second of sickness, but had severe heartburn and reflux from week 32+ and I went off food completely as I saw it as the enemy as any time I would eat it would just sit in my throat and make me feel sick. I basically lived on cereal and gaviscon mints for the last 8 weeks of my pregnancy so I say if you fancy something to eat just do it and don’t worry about anything else!

Thanks everyone, we booked a gender scan for 15w4d on the 10th April, I can't wait!!
Also, when did you ladies stop taking your pregnancy vitamins? I was advised that I don't need to take it after 12 weeks but I'm sure it's no harm if I continue? Xx

Exciting on the gender scan! I stopped taking folic acid at 12 weeks because my midwife told me there is a study which links it to tongue tie?! I now just take Vit D.

I’m 7+1 today and we have a scan on Wednesday at 7+4 . I’ve done early scans around this time with all my babies as I’m just anxious and want to know they’re okay

but I am sooooo nervous for this one . Even though I have all the textbook symptoms , I just feel so anxious that something is going to be wrong . Does anyone else feel this ?
 
Any tips for pregnancy insomnia and achey/restless legs? I have started taking magnesium but I don't think it is making any difference. I barely slept last night and work 4 days a week and have a toddler. Send help!!!

Insomnia I can’t help with as I have it really bad but the only thing that helps my aches/restless legs is taking a paracetamol when I feel it starting.
I had restless legs before pregnancy and would take the caffeine ones and full dose but now I take just the normal ones and only one and if it continues I’ll take the other through the night.
