GD is a joy thief, I find it hard to think of anything else.
I am a stay at home mum, my eldest is at school and I look after my 22month old. He doesn't speak yet apart from a few words. ( he's being referred for a speech delay) so I find i'm in my head more often than not. I have lots of friends with kids but my trigger is being around baby/toddler girls. I can't avoid situations like this as my son stills needs to get out the house and do groups etc
If i'm busy ( not doing baby/toddler stuff which is rare) it definitely alleviates the anxiety but there is just so much time i'm by myself.
I find myself most upset when on my own.

I'm in the southwest and i've only ever had 2 scans on the NHS 12w & 20w
I have paid privately for ones though.

[MrsSparkles]

That was my trigger too.
I would have to leave if I saw a baby girl even in a shop, so I know it must be impossible to do activities with a little one.

Counting down the days until you find out, hope it is a girlie.

I’m north and 2 scans here too.

[MrsSparkles]

Oh wow.
We got 3 in the Midlands (first pregnancy), and 2 this time.
If you're over 35 you can opt for 'extra growth scans' I did last time, that's how they picked up the fluid had gone at.
The extra are at 38 and 40 weeks

How is everyone doing? I’m getting on ok. Just patiently waiting for the 20 week scan to make sure baby is ok. Sparkles are you feeling any movement yet? I’ve been feeling them daily over the last week or so but when I go for long periods without any movement I get a bit panicky. Might buy a Doppler.

Sonny how are you feeling? I hope ds2 is sleeping a bit better? When’s his first speech therapy appointment? I bet once he’s talking it will be so much easier to know what he wants/needs. My ds1’s speech took off quite a lot in preschool but he was late with it, then school and learning phonics has helped too.

Had my NT scan today! Baby measured 13w0d and OMG the tech thought it looks like a girl!!
I am praying so hard she is right and I agree all the angles she showed me looked girly but I know it's still a little early to be sure. Just glad I got to see my sweet healthy baby and get some good pics I'm finally starting to feel a little more excited!

No movements yet, looming forward to it though.
Was such a magical part of pregnancy as I remember.
I have an anterior placenta so might be another 4 weeks until I feel much.

SummerHope that really does look like a girl!
I would trust the tech!

[Bobster]

Wow summer that’s a girl! Would put money on it at 13 weeks!!!! So excited for you!! You must have been so nervous.

Sparkles yes yours will be a bit later won’t they. It is magical and reassuring. I have always had a posterior placenta so felt them quite early on.

[SummerHope]

Thanks ladies!! Yeah I was super nervous and now I'm feeling much more relaxed and excited, I can't wait to have another scan in a few weeks to confirm the gender for sure though!

[MrsSparkles]

I didn't realise posterior and anterior were even things.
So many variables in pregnancy.
