    I really need to go to the bathroom...

    Ok so had a scan a few weeks ago revealing i am 10 days behind where my doc thought i was and only got back to my docs today...

    Of course he now has me freaked out there is something wrong so is insisting i have another scan. I asked how my blood work looked and he said it was great;

    Called the scan place, they got me in straight away. I finished drinking my water at 4pm and i reallllyyyy need to go to the toilet arg...my scan isnt for another 20 minutes! Oh lord. I hope he doesnt ask me to let a little bit out....LOL

    Anywho..pointless ramble...hoping all is ok!!

    Hope all goes well in the scan and you see your bubs sitting safely in there. Ultrasounds are torture for a pregnant woman... I remember being in absolute agony for my first scan cos my bladder was so full, they let me go to the loo to let out a bit. Thank god my pelvic floor muscles were strong then.

    I noticed you are almost 8 weeks now. I remember I had my first scan at 6 w 4 days and it was only a dot with a heartbeat at that stage. It might just be possible that it was too early to see much when you went the first time and thats why your dates vary.

    Oh no i hate that feeling...

    One time with DD they didn't let em let any out and he pressed so hard i peed myself a little i was sooo embarrassed but it was his fault for not letting me go.

    This time round i had an AWESOME guy who said i didn't even need to do the water thing, it's not necessary!

    Hope you make/made it ok and you get to see that everything is fine with your lil bub!

    then i used my hands as a cup to drink as much as i could b4 the scan!!! the guy knew id peed and was happy to take happy snaps while we waited for my bladder to refil.
    good luck hun, the ultrasound man told me that so long as babies arent 4 weeks behind they're happy

    It's just horrible isn't it?! The hardest thing they can do is ask a pregnant women to drink a heap of water and hold it!!!

    I just wanted to wish you all the very best for your scan, I'd say you'd be in there right about now. I hope bubby has done a little growing to put all your minds at ease.

    Let us know how you go

    Hehe thanks everyone for your well wishes too!!

    I was in pain for about 45 minutes after drinking all the water...NOT fun. Although suprisingly got through the water with ease this time, usually i struggle!
