NHS 12 week scan?

I’m coming up to 10 weeks and have my first booking appointment next week when I’ll be nearly 11 weeks- I’ve not heard anything about my 12 week scan? I had a private scan yesterday (photo) and the sonographer said my NHS scan should have been booked by now otherwise it will be too late to do any health screening?! Now I’m in a panic lol- has anyone else had their scan later than 12weeks as at this rate I think I’ll be having it between 13-15 weeks?

Hi, I was told that they are behind with scans and can scan you up to 14 weeks. Give your midwife a call

The Midwive books it after your booking appointment, mine was booked for two weeks after, they’re quite quick at getting you booked in so I wouldn’t worry ☺️

I’ll be just over 12 weeks, just about! I thought it was late too , 😄

I had mine booked in around a week and a half after my booking appointment, I’ll be 13 weeks when I have mine 😊

The blood test for the combined screening test needs to be between 10 and 14 weeks, the scan needs to be between 11 and 14 weeks. So you've got time

Mine was really efficient. I self referred at 4 weeks and by 5 weeks had bookings for 9, 10 and 12 week appointments. But they do 12 week scans up to week 14. Id give them a chase if I were worried though.

Phew! Okay thanks guys that’s put my mind at rest 😂 I’m really feeling in the dark at the moment as I haven’t been given any number/ contact to reach out to if I did ever have any issues or questions- I’m going to mention it at my booking appointment next week because I have no way of contacting anyone at the moment.

I literally had my first appointment on thurs I was 10+2 and was told NHS scans are between 11 and 14 weeks I got my first scan booked immediately after my first appointment I will be 12+2 for my scan. I dont think the private scan was correct in that it will be too late for screening but if you are worried talk to your midwife at your appointment

I got a call the day after my booking appointment from the hospital saying that my scan had been booked. I’m having it next week at exactly 12 weeks. Harder said than done but try not to panic. Any screening wanted/ needed will be done in plenty of time, if your booking appointment is booked then they will be aware of how far along you are and will make sure you get what you need x

Tired.

Mamas… what do you do when you’re tired? Tired of cooking, cleaning, taking care of kids, laundry, dishes, DINNER, taking care of a household shoot taking care of yourself.
I’m a ftm also sahm. I’m tired I want to run away. I feel like I have the whole world on my shoulders, the only true time I have to myself is at night then I’ll have to juggle going to bed at a decent time or stay up and regret it in the morning. I don’t like this feeling, HELP

Movements

Has anyone had a change in movements at this stage? 36 weeks and the last couple of days instead of lots of wriggling around I’ve just been getting baby pushing out of my stomach if that makes sense?

I find it really hard to explain, but kind of pushing and creating lumps in my bump, but overall slower. I do think baby has changed position which could be why it feels different.

I will say I have been in for monitoring and everything seemed normal, I’m just finding the change really unsettling!

Struggling post c section

I had an emergency c section almost 6 weeks ago and I’m really mentally struggling with the whole thing. Physically I’m back to normal and feel okay but I can’t shake the awful feeling of knowing what it feels like to have people’s hands on ur insides, whilst you’re awake. My whole birth experience was really traumatic, before and after birth, I’m wondering if anyone else knows if it’s worth speaking to someone about it? It’s making me really miserable, of course I’m grateful it brought me my daughter and that it was the safest quickest way to get her out. But I’m still really mentally struggling with how it all went down. I was in hospital for a lot longer than I was supposed to be because of how my body reacted to the drugs and it really has just messed with my head. Am I being dramatic here or is this a real thing?

Abnormal NT (fluid at back of babies neck ) at 20 weeks scan

Has anyone else had an abnormal NT ( fluid at back of babies neck ) measurement at 20 weeks scan ? We was told it was fine at the 12 week scan and now I’m worrying .

Chores

When did you guys start vacuuming etc after a c section? I'm over the 6 week mark but can't remember with my first and don't want to push myself too much. X

Is this normal or should I be concerned

So I’m a ftm I had my baby Feb 7 and I think I just started my period again I’m not completely sure but I just started bleeding again and been having soreness down there like how I did after I had her and I’ve been feeling nauseous and threw up today I haven’t had any cramps and it doesn’t feel like my usual period I feel like I’m over reacting but I’m not sure cuz again this is my first so idk how healing processes are
