So much for 12 weeks

So I just found out today (at my 12 week scan) that I am in fact.....22 weeks pregnant. Baby is happy and healthy, and everything looks normal. Was such a massive shock to see spine and head THAT big at my first scan. Needless to say, I have some serious organising to do, i.e. Blood tests etc. Midwife was flabberghasted that I am barely showing.

Oh my goodness, I am so overwhelmed right now.

Oh wow! Yeah I can understand why you'd be a bit stunned! You've still got 18 weeks or so to get yourself organised And at least you knew you were preggy though eh? I used to work with a woman that didn't realise she was preggy til she was 7 or 8 months along

Oh and come and join Hopes and I in the due in Jan 2012 thread

WOW!!!!! I take it you didn't get M/S.....

Gosh, lucky you were lying down to receive that news!

hehe my friend found out she was pregnant,30 weeks and having a girl all in the same hour,now shes the proud mum of a nearly 5 year old.

Make sure you have people to talk to and support you cos it is a huge shock,you can do it though! you can do eeet!

Well, I only found out about 3 weeks ago that I was actually pregnant. And the nurse at Family Planning told me I was around 8-10 weeks. I have only JUST started showing....

So no, this was meant to be my first scan. Turns out it was my first and last scan! Very excited that we dont have to wait too long to meet baby. Meeting up with the midwife tonight for a bit of a discussion on plan of attack from here! Baby was even sucking it's thumb (happy tears)

Wow! I thought I was late finding out at 8 weeks! All the best!

with my first if I hadn't looked in my diary and realised I hadn't gotten my AF for awhile I could have gone weeks without knowing,I didn't show till over 28 weeks and I didn't feel baby move till I was 22 weeks.

My friend I mentioned above,felt a bit"off" did a HPT,was positive so she went to the dr,who said she felt like she was a bit further on,so sent her for an urgent scan which showed that she was 30 weeks and having a girl.
She text her partner "yes,pregnant,30 weeks,having a girl" ..he didn't text back and then she got a phone call from his boss saying he had got her text and fainted! hahahaha!!!!

...so did you get to find out the gender?

hahahaha i remember you telling that one before Kelly, cracks me up still!

Kelly, I knew I was late but couldn't remember when and how long haha! I almost didn't go to the doctors at 8 weeks! I almost held off! I could easily have got to 23ish weeks without realising - that was when I felt movement first.

Hehe a friend of mine didnt find out until 7 months (She was told her PCOS was so bad she'd never concieve) and even then only because she had to see a chiropractor who felt her tummy and pelvis before starting treatment and was like..um..you didnt tell me you're pregnant! Poor girl. In hindsight though she said she did have really bad morning sickness but thought she was drinking too much

Anyway, congrats! I'm actually a little bit jeleous - pregnancy take soooo long, and you just got fast tracked!
