Scans

Yep it's awful having to wait so long isn't it. Also feeling anxious. I swear my bump has got smaller too.. and my boobs don't hurt as much, which really doesn't help!!!!! Acid reflux worse than ever though.. but trying to take that as a positive sign 🙄 All the best for your gender scan! 😊

@Jess my bump is only visible after I’ve eaten! Half the time it just looks like I’ve gained weight:( it’s just my boobs that hurt now and every now and then I get acid reflux with feeling sick

The wait is awful. I'm 17+3 and My anxiety gets high so I book private ones alot. My next proper one is when I'm 20 weeks with the hospital but went yesterday for a private one and my boy is thriving thank god 💙. If you have the funds then book private scans it helps alot to get that reassurance xc

That’s why so many of these private clinics are popping up. They’re making a killing on the anxiety of hopeful parents. Hopefully they do the Doppler at your 16 weeks midwife app in your area though. That helps too.

The wait is horrible 😞 It does help when you can feel baby moving regularly, it really eased my anxiety when I could feel them wriggling around and I knew they were ok!

They do doppler at 16 weeks appointment especially if you mention you are anxious 💕💕 I know its so crazy to wait for so long ❤️

It feels like the longest wait ever! I heard the heartbeat at my midwife appt 16 weeks but I had booked a private scan for that day anyway not knowing that, so hopefully you’ll hear that to ease your mind. I’m sure once I feel the baby move I’ll be mentally calmer it’s just getting to that point 😅

@Kate this inbetweeny stage is so frustrating isn't it. I wish you well with the rest of your pregnancy x
