I had my 12 week scan today. It was amazing my hospital actually has 4-D on all there ultrasound scans. I guess maybe I am just lucky but it is absolutely amazing to see it in 4-D especially comparing it to the 2-D scans they also have. I actually got to HEAR the heartbeat today on the ultrasound as it has that built right in the machine to. My midwife is absolutely fantastic. I have an ultrasound to check for birthdefects next week and then my big 18 week scan is already scheduled for exactly one week after MY birthday. It is all just so exciting. The only problem is (dont worry I am not really letting it get me down) is I have started vomitting with my morning sickness and here i thought it was finally starting to go away. Its only been with in the last 24 hours but its absolutely horrible I cant eat anything. I just don't know what to do. I also have my midwife scared cause I have lost more then 2 pounds when she said I should have gained it and with my history with an eating disorder and now this I dont want to give her a reason to think I am neglecting myself and my child.


But all that is beside the point. As soon as I get my scanner working I will have to get those pictures up here for you all. Any advice on the vomiting would be nice...

Thank you

Hi, that sounds amazing with the 4D ultrasound - it must have been wonderful to watch. I wouldn't worry about the 2lb- your body weight can fluctate by a couple of pounds depending on what's in your stomach or bowels, how hydrated you are etc. In terms of the eating disorder, how are you doing - are you coping OK with the soon-to-be expanding waistline? It's an exciting time but I can see how it might be scary with the loss of control over your weight - that's great that you've let your midwife know as she can support you through the pregnancy. Fingers crossed it's just a blip and the vomiting settles, but if it persists for a few days and you can't get anything down, let your midwife or GP know - if you really can't get anything down, and ginger, acupressure, crackers, rich tea biscuits etc aren't a help then there are tablets to help the sickness.

I vomitted like 4 times at day at that time! so i ate stuff that was easy to throw up. for breakfast yogert and juice. Believe me cornflakes hurt on the way up! so i was eating food that wouldnt ccut my throat. None of them remedies ever worked for me, infact i threw up the remedies that poeple where saying wouold stop me being sick.

make sure you drink plenty though to stop dehyration. My sickness only stopped about 2 weeks ago but most stop end of the first trimester. I was just awkward.
