Grub, glad your family are all safe. Very cute story about the cuddle.

mindhugs- great news about your scan...you must also feel a bit more reassured now, as each week passes. I am showing a bit too...I am only small and any bump is noticeable...but people at work know anyway, so I dont have to hide it

kelly- much be scary for your friends who own that caravan park...lol about your nephew. And i hope you are doing ok

afm- no option for private obstetrics after 12 weeks here, and yesterday had my first appt with the hospital antenatal clinic...it was exciting to finally make it far enough to go to the clinic and the appt. went well and my latest progesterone results are all good (still over 200).

Just a question for those who are further along, or who already have a child... how many scans did you have/are having during yourpregnancy? I really do wish I could have my own Ob throughout, just for reassurance and the chance for more scans if i am anxious etc. The clinic is good of course, and because I am high risk I will see a dr each time, but it's different to building up a rapport with the same person each time.
So from here it will be 12 week, 18 wk, 28 wk, then regular scans from there to check growth (due to antiphospholipid). I asked if I could have any other scans inbetween, but nope, unless I 'self requested' and I am not even too sure how that works. I have asked my IVF nurse, who is also a midwife at the hospital....in the past she has offered to help me out with extra scans if i get anxious. I guess once I can feel movement that will be good, but until then....

Just wondering what others experiences have been, or what others plans are? thanks :-)
