Dating scan tomorrow. Got a phone call this afternoon asking if I could be in Cavan General for 2:45 tomorrow. Very late notice bit I'm delighted so not gonna complain. 9 weeks tomorrow. Didn't expect it for another week or two at least

We have our scan tomorrow evening ( I actually thought it was Wed :O) I'm kinda scared but excited. I guess i'm nervous in case something is wrong but hopefully all goes well.

Good luck guys. :-)

Anyone else waking up at all hours for no reason?? I keep waking every night any time from 4am onwards. I usually go back asleep but it's very strange as i wouldn't usually wake that early.

I do to pee, last 8 weeks have been up every night. Slept last night for nearly 7 hours straight and I feel so much better now. Its crazy how lack of sleep affects your day.

Have my scan today

Oh best of luck Lashes. Is this your first scan? I can't remember if you have had one yet or not?

Im not peeing yet.

Im on hols next week for 9 nights so i can't wait. Although my appetite is gone completely weird and not in humour of eating much at all at the mo. No harm as i really don't want to be putting on more weight that necessary as i already struggle with my weight.

No I have had 4! 3 in the EPU and one to get formally discharged from my fertility clinic. Just hoping all is ok since my last one at 9 weeks.

So today's lunch consisted of Crisp roll, jam doughnut and bottle of orange lucozade

Anyone else struggling with their appetite/diet? So hard to eat healthily at the mo.

Oh thanks god it isn't just me! I had a breakfast roll yesterday morning and felt great, today I had weetabix and got sick! This baby doesn't want me eating healthy at all. Actually every time I've been sick I've been eating something healthy:( I give up!!!

Mad isn't it? My friend who's due her baby now in a few weeks was the exact same. Just wanted crap all the time. Wonder why that is? It's only that im relating to it as im pregnant for the first time.

Ive gone off nearly everything i would normally eat, and don't want dinners or biggish meals at all.

Yep exactly the same here, made lasagne last night, my favourite, 1/2 went in the bin and felt like ****e. I've been having cereal for dinner the last few weeks, think I'll go back to that and hope it improves after the 12 wk mark!

So had my scan yesterday and all looks good. So weird, it actually looks like a baby now! Got my date for the glucose test and my 20 weeks scan so great to have them scheduled now.

Still doesnt feel real

shortstuff! how long are you being kept on the progesterone?

Oh it's so exciting when it actually looks like a real person in there!

On it until the 12 week mark, coming off it, aspirin and high dosage folic. I'll just be on omega 3 and vitamin D then, can't wait! Though I'd say I'll feel nervous coming off them, it's been so reassuring knowing I'm doing something to protect the pregnancy.

How about you?

How about you?

What are the reasons for Vit D and Omega 3? Are there benefits to taking them along with Pregnacare?

I am on it til 13 weeks but the doc said I could reduce to once a day for the last week and then every second day for a while if I didnt want to go from twice a day to nothing so am going to do that. Little nervous of coming off it but hopefully all will be ok.

crestedten

Vitamin D is for your's and Baby's bones. Omega 3 is for Baby's brain, nerves and eyes. Both are in Pregnacare in adequate quantities.

shortstuff!

What she said!!! Wasn't sure what the omega 3was for just doing what I was told ha!! The specialist said he doesn't rate pregnacare that it's just overpriced & well advertised! Pretty sure it made me sick on 1st pregnancy so was happy to not take it! Have a huge box of it here tho if anyone wants it?!

So we had our scan on Tuesday and it was amazing. Got to see the little one! Our dates are bang on so due 17th December. Waiting on harmony test results now which will take 10 days.

Sickness is starting to ease thankfully. Hope everyone else is feeling good

Oh ya I wake around 6 now, about 15 mins before my alarm but before it was 3 or 4 and then no sleep after so this is a big improvement. They changed my due date to 13th Dec after my scan so 12+2 now!

Well based on my last period my due date was 13th Dec but because the IUI was a few days late it was revised but they are happy I am measuring to the 13th so going with that. Happy with the earlier date, at least if I go over I have more chance of being brought in before Christmas.

Has anyone on here looked into getting the early scans or anything like that? We are looking at getting one in blackrock as we are based close by but I've seen there is one in cherrywood too any feedback on either of these would be great. We are now 11+3

I've had 3 scans so far. Two with the fertility centre we went to at 6 weeks and 8 weeks and paid for a private scan at 10.5 weeks. Have my hospital scan at 12 weeks. It really helps with the waiting to get to 12 weeks. Do you have your date for your hospital scan yet?

Yeah our date for the hospital scan isn't until August but would like to get one done sooner so we were looking into private scans just looking for opinions and feedback of how worthwhile they are really

Wow, that's really late! I thought everyone got a scan around 12-14 weeks. I would definitely recommend getting a private scan anyway. It's so amazing to see the tiny baby moving around. Makes it feel more real for me anyway. For the sake of 100 Euro it's worth it.

This is our first so was unsure of scan dates and such. Where are you based as we are looking at a coupe of places in Dublin but unsure of which would be best.

Based in Cork but I'd imagine all scans at 12ish weeks are the same.

Not all hospitals offer the 12 week scan and not all do the 20 week. Luckily ours do both. Sligo doesnt do the 12 week but does at 20. Its scandalous.
