Ahh okay thanks! I just looked and actually they say they are "only" allowed to go ahead for medical reasons but reassurance falls under this. Which I guess it is true, with limited antenatal care and many of your midwife appointments going over the phone rather than in person reassurance is needed more than ever.You can book, they just have to say it’s for medical reasons. It’s a loophole really but one I don’t think anyone minds people taking advantage of
Oh migraines are the worst! Feel for you hun xxxI'm still really struggling with sickness12 weeks and not even food is helping with the nausea. Just want to bloody enjoy this pregnancy and it's not happening been up all night last night being sick now with a migraine to tow. Struggling to even keep water down
Have you spoken to your GP about anti sickness medication? A real concern would be dehydration, and they are very new to avoid that. You can usually drop them a urine sample and they will do some tests, and let you know if you need to pop over to a&e for some immediate care if dehydrated. But long term, they can prescribe a variety of anti sickness tablets that can help. I’ve had mine since 8 weeks this time.I'm still really struggling with sickness12 weeks and not even food is helping with the nausea.

It does. I would go anyway if you feel that you are dehydrated. Just lie and tell them 48 hrs. Your GP can give you different meds for the sickness if the ones you have don’t work. I take cyclizine which worked well last pregnancy, it totally took it away, but this time it just takes the edge off, I still feel crap most of the time (although slowly getting better now at 24 weeksI've got some but they don't seem to be doing muchI contacted the midwife and she said if after 48 hours I can't keep water down then I've to go to a and e but that seems like an awful long time?!
The midwife said to go to A+E? That seems like a terrible plan given the current COVID situation. Is there any numbers for you to call maternity triage/EPAU to get seen directly?I've got some but they don't seem to be doing muchI contacted the midwife and she said if after 48 hours I can't keep water down then I've to go to a and e but that seems like an awful long time?!
I don’t know if they are still doing 4d. Just that they’re open under the medical scan ‘loophole’. I say loophole because much of the time it’s people wanting rather than needing to see baby - you don’t need a referral or good reason I don’t think, but I guess you could say any scan is always reassurance to some degree.Its a bit dodgy if WTTW is doing 4D scans under the label of reassurance.
I think growth scans etc can definitely be defined as reassurance, and early scans especially as I really benefited from that. But some have said they are still getting their 4D one in lockdown which is a bit dodgy of WTTW to be honouring those bookingsI don’t know if they are still doing 4d.

hey I had a scan yesterday to see how far I am she said between 5/6 weeks was a bit vague I could see the small tadpole on the picture they printed for me! I don’t feel sick but I keep feeling like I have vertigo. What about sugared ginger I actually love the taste of it. XI’ve felt sick since before I got my positive test at 3 weeks. It’s just gradually got worse and worse. My mom mentioned ginger but I really don’t like it. I considered ginger tea but I feel like tasting something I don’t like will just add to feeling sick. I’m just gonna have to wait it out.
Ahh congrats that’s brill! Around the same as me and @elloelloello thenHey

She didn’t give me an exact date she gave me a picture to print off and said the movement was the heart beat the baby measures at 2.8mm so I still feel like I’m none the wiser really exactly but I can’t believe it’s real I didn’t have an internal just external the baby looked like a tadpole did yours look like that? ! My Nan used to give me sugared ginger pieces its an acquired taste but I love it. My mum said to eat plain crackers. I actually don’t feel sick at all just get dizzy sometimes xxAhh congrats that’s brill! Around the same as me and @elloelloello thendo you feel better for having seen it and knowing whereabouts you’re at? I’ve never heard of sugared ginger I’ll have to see what I think.
Mine is really dark as well. It says on my medical refferal that my doctor sent to the hospital continuous UTI’s cause I dealt with them on and off for about 2 years every other month I had one haven’t had one in a while but read your prone to them during pregnancy and you can’t be too careful. I’ve thought I’ve had them a few times and my sample always came back clear so the nurse said to me it’s probably pressure from the baby lying on it or my uterus is putting pressure on it. It’s not there constant either the way a UTI is but it felt similarThis is exactly me, also my pee is really dark no matter how much water I drink. Midwife said always be safer than sorry as UTI symptoms can differ in pregnancy so I gave in a sample to my GP the other day. It came back clear and he basically accused me of wasting time since I only had a couple of symptoms. I wasn't having any of that... Its my first pregnancy and I have a long history of UTIs so of course I'm going to be cautious and I said as much to him as well.
There are CRL charts online. 2.8mm would be 5weeks and 3 or 4 days.the baby measures at 2.8mm
Yeah my 4D one is still going ahead next weekend - I just have to tick a box to say I’m there for reassurance...I don’t know if they are still doing 4d.

Aw sorry to hear that. Keep an eye on if and if it gets unbearable tell your gp/midwife.I’ve felt sick since before I got my positive test at 3 weeks. It’s just gradually got worse and worse. My mom mentioned ginger but I really don’t like it. I considered ginger tea but I feel like tasting something I don’t like will just add to feeling sick. I’m just gonna have to wait it out.
Thank you for the Info I amThere are CRL charts online. 2.8mm would be 5weeks and 3 or 4 days.
