Today we had our “12 week scan”, also known as the “dating scan”. Firstly, they screwed up with the dates and gave me my appointment too early. I told the midwife this and she advised me to go anyway because then they’d have to give me another one at 12 weeks- two chances to see our baby! Secondly the “dating” part of the scan which means giving a more accurate due date based on the baby’s size rather than your last period, doesn’t apply to IVF pregnancies as this is always just calculated from the transfer date. So our due date remains 31st January š
And WOW the change in the 10 days since we had our last scan is incredible! He now has a CRL of 31.6mm, which means he’s been growing more than a mm per day and is right on target for 10 weeks 2 days. I still have a small blood clot which was either missed in the last scan or has since reappeared but we’ve been assured that it’s nothing to worry about. And our Chicklet looks amazing, he was kicking really hard and moving a lot. We could see all of his fingers and toes. The picture doesn’t do it it justice but he looked amazing on the screen š ā¤ ā¤ ā¤
Grow baby..GROW!!
YAY
š Yay!
Wow that’s so exciting! I’m so glad you’re getting an opportunity to see him grow so much! Can you feel him kicking already, or just see it in the scan? I can’t wait to have a scan like this! Congrats š
It’s so weird to see him kick and move so much but not feel anything at all! I don’t think you can feel movement til at least 16 weeks, so a while to go yet!
PS – I’m soooo nauseous, especially on the days when I have insomnia the night before. I can’t wait until the 2nd trimester when I can enjoy pregnancy!
Tell me about it! I’m the same, it’s 24/7 :-s and I also have restless nights, despite usually ending up in bed at 8 or 9pm! That’s to do with Progesterone, so is probably worse for us having more of it! All worth it though!
That’s a nice scan, you can really see him. š Grow little one grow!
Yeah, he’s really active and it was so nice to see the smaller details developing like the fingers and toes!
Congrats on almost being in second trimester!!#
Thank you! Can’t wait for the so-called “honeymoon” period of pregnancy!
Most adorable fetus of all time. š
Aw, thanks! We think so too, we’re already proud parents!
