Dont even think my GP has the equipment to do that for me if I went in and requested it. I know it sounds awful, but I just want to know if my baby is alive at this stage!
I saw a little heartbeat at 6 + 4 but that was through a dildo cam and because I was referred to the EPAU because of a bleed.
If you're genuinely concerned hon, you could get your GP to refer you as well to put your mind at ease.0 -
Just to let you know ShaSha, I had zero symptoms either (which is why I ended up getting three private scansShaShaBear wrote: »It's just rotten, I'm being plagued with vivid nightmares of going to my scan and seeing half-formed babies with no heartbeats and all sorts of other horrific things I won't even mention for fear of putting the thought into someone else's head!
First scan is 6th January and it honestly cannot come quick enough! A private scan would cost me a fortune - Dublin is closest and I am in Monaghan - about €50 in travel expenses and another €100 for the scan and we really just do not have it to spare.
I'm not slim so I would be concerned that no heartbeat would be picked up either, and that would send me into a frenzy!
I suppose I should be more than thankful that I have yet to suffer from constipation or morning sickness, but the utter lack of symptoms makes me think that the whole pregnancy is a dream!
) and everything was fine with each scan. The midwife at my 12 week scan told me that 70-75% of women get morning sickness…. That means 1 in 4 or so don’t! It doesn’t mean your baby isn’t healthy – I guess we are just the lucky ones :rolleyes:
Why not go to the doctor and see if she can put your mind at ease. She might be able to pick up a HB with the Doppler, just try not to panic too much if she can’t.
Try not to worry too much, I am a real worrier too and I am still worrying about every little thing (and I’m 15 weeks) chances are everything is perfectly ok. The 6th will be here before you know it. The time will fly over Christmas.0 -
dildo cam
Actually snorted out loud with laughter in the college library when I read this

My doctor is a man, and a very grumpy one that, quite frankly, doesn't give a toss :rolleyes:
As a full-time student, I can't go to the doctor during the week, unless something is wrong, which I guess there isn't. Just gonna whinge about it in the meantime until the scan rolls around 0 -

I met with my midwife yesterday Shasha (I'm 8 +1) and she said to count yourself lucky if you don't get morning sickness. She said she has three bonny little children herself and never got it either so it doesn't mean anything. My friend has hyperemesis and it's horrific - we should count ourselves lucky!
Try not to worry hon. You said in another thread that your skin has broken out and that you're tired etc which are good healthy signs that your hormones are working their magic!
You and bubba are fine. x
Yeah when I really think about it I do feel more tired than normal, but this is also my degree year and I'm finishing up my thesis, so I wasn't sure if the tiredness was totally down to Baba. Spots are unfortunately commonplace with me. That and the heavy periods was the reason I've been on dianette for the past 11 years 0 -

I had NO symptoms, so I sympathise. By the way, vivid dreams of all sorts are common in pregnancy so its kind of a symptom. I'm sure everything will be fine but you cant help but worry until they check you out.
Would you see if you could get a scan in the North then? Would it be nearer and cheaper?
I had such a vivid dream last night that I was hearing voices![:\](https://www.boards.ie/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
I woke up and thought it was real... Scary scary. 0 -

Shashabear don't worry
it is not too far away! I don't know what a dating scan is! When I got scanned they never changed my dates (it was only 6 days) as they said it's good to give me a few extra days to try and go into labour myself! I would definitely just wait till then as you will be able to see loads on scan at 13 weeks! When I rang about my private scan they told me not to get scan done before 12 weeks (I wanted to get the nuchal measurement). Seriously count yourself lucky morning sickness hasn't kicked in! I have hyperemesis and it is so terrible. I can't work, eat, to be honest basically do anything I am literally counting down the days now and with a bit if luck I might go a week early! Did you book your anomaly scan at 20-24 weeks? 0 -

Wish I could cover up the horrid regrowth on my hair, dye will simply not take to it!
Starting to feel uncomfortable lying on my stomach too, even though I dont think I'm showing yet. Cant wait till I look pregnant and not fat! 0 -

Lol... I absolutely hate that transitional stage when you put on weight but don't have the bump to show you're pregnant.... Now I just stick my bump out and I'm like.... YES THERE IS A REASON I'VE PUT ON 2 STONE! 0 -

My mother even commented on the weight I had put on, got the lecture about watching I didn't put on too much during the pregnancy. Weighed myself and only seem to have about half a stone on in 10 weeks. But I can assure you I feel and look like it's at least twice that.0 -

You always feel the first half a stone! My mums always telling me watch what I eat lately. Sure she was telling me eat more earlier this year after I withered away to nothing with all the running around after number 1! Will they ever stop?! Lol
I've been eating like a 14 year old girl on her period after getting dumped
Had popcorn and a garlic baguette for dinner yesterday, and a full tube of prawn cocktail Pringles for lunch today. Don't do it every day, but I'd be tempted to! I dont have sickness, but when I get hungry I feel sick and thats when the food smells and aversions kick in and I feel too ill to cook. Fruit doesnt really seem to fill me as well as something deliciously carby packed with mouthwatering MSG :rolleyes:0 -
Yup sounds familiar! Salty and savoury! Big bowels pasta, instant noodles, crisps amd bread. The thought of vegetables or fruit in my first trimester made me heave! I nearly wished I had bad morning sickness as I felt like a heffalump! Lol. That will all go tho.... You're nearly in your second trimester.... The food aversions hopefully won't be so bad then (hopefully). I got back to my fruit and vege and good diet then (NOT).... Hence the big weight gain....
Going to try and sleep now... If I can find a good sleeping position.... Here's hoping my 1 year old sleeps though the night....0 -

Three things that seem to stay down for me are, salt and vinegar snack a jacks, manhattan popcorn and coca cola! The baby loves loves loves coca cola 0 -
