@Hope18 I cba with that other post it's so silly Hope your okay and hope everything going well xx

[Hope18]

@Alicejj8x hey lovely!
Yes all is good over here! Nausea is still here now and again and boobs are still fairly tender. According to dates I’m 8+1 today! Still worrying about any slight back ache or twinge lol how are you?! Is it this Wednesday your going in for scan again? X

[Alicejj8x]

@Hope18
Ahhh wow it seems like it's flying for you lol :)
Ohh yeh I am pretty sure that's normal thou hun any little twinge it's just all getting ready to stretch and make room for baba ;)

I'm good thank you!! Yes I have my scan Wednesday I hope I shall see a sac this time and get some rough ideas on how far gone I
Am :) I shal let you no how I get on :)

I don't really have any symptoms thou lol do you xx

[Hope18]

@Alicejj8x
Yeah I’m hoping so!
What time do you go on Wednesday?
Tbh these past 2 weeks I’ve probaby felt the worst so far as in nausea and just tired and groggy!
Getting a little podgey tummy now too! But up until 7w my symptoms were really vague just the odd sore boobs and tired but nothing major I wouldn’t have said. All the way through I’ve had quite a bit of CM ( sorry tmi) just clear but scares the life outta me as I always think it may be blood !
Aslong as you’ve had no bleeding Hun it’s good sign for you :-) x

[Hope18]

How old are you @Alicejj8x if you don’t mind me asking? And what part of the country are you from? ☺️X

[Alicejj8x]

@Hope18
My appointment is 9am Wednesday :)

Ahh that's good to hear you had no symptoms up till 7w but so rubbish you feel crap atm :( I hope it eases up for you Hun! Bless you!! Have you booked in a 12 week scan or anything like that ?

I've heard the CM is normal apparently all the hormones make you have a lot more lol. I've noticed a lot this weekend tbh tooo. Also we did the deed this weekend for the first time since we found out we was preg coz I just heard so many things about sex in early pregnancy and it scared me ahah lol but we did it this Saturday and after a little bit of pinkish slimy stuff came out sorry tmi loool but I've googled and apparently it's normal coz how sensitive it all is down there atm lol.

I amm
26 and live in Reading Berkshire :) how about you?

[Hope18]

Ahh @Alicejj8x at least it’s nice an early!
I haven’t been able to get hold of the midwife yet! Lol! Have to phone again on Monday to make a booking appointment as because of my job I keep missing the phone call and booking times.. hopefully should get one this week or the next.

Ah this is going to sound silly 😳 but I’m not brave enough to yet! As we’ve had MC before I’m so worried to do anything that may affect anything and I know that’s me being really extreme😔 it’s weird buts it’s nice to hear others do obviously still do it and their ok, maybe the more stories I hear I might get over the nerves about it all! I’ve heard it’s completely normal to get a little blood in discharge after, my best friend also had this.
I’m 26 in July and from Cambridgeshire

[Alicejj8x]

@Hope18
Yeh I'm thankful it's so early as I doubt I could of done a later time just want to get to it and see what's going on and hope it's all okay!
I think half of it's in my head and where I am so early still prob last time there wasn't ever going to be anything much to see. But fingers crossed Wednesday there is atleast the sac.

Ahhh yeh let me know when you book in for the scan how exciting :)
Had you been trying long before you got your BFP?..

Oh no that's completely understandable. I honestly was putting it off so much and then we both said look let's just do it and get over our fear. We had a missed miscarriage in 2016 but I never knew I was pregnant till 10 weeks and then found out we lost the baby at 6 weeks so it was really hard coz one min we found out we was preg then the next it was taken away from us so anything this time
Round is worrying me extra but I just thought ok I need to put this worry away lol. But I completely understand where your coming from as like I said we was the exact same up
TIL this weekend and even then we only did it one time ahahah lol.
Yeh I've heard it's normal I think everything just extra sensitive down there atm lol.

Ahh okay :) I've heard of where your from
Before.xxx

[Hope18]

@Alicejj8x god yes imagine having to wait until the afternoon! I hope our next scan is early too!
I will Defo let you know when I get a date for it.!

Sorry to hear about your mmc that must have been so hard all that news all at once!
So we’d been off the pill since last aug, so not that long I guess and we got married in sept and fell pregnant first time whilst on honeymoon end of sept! We’re unsure how far I was last time tho as I hadn’t had a AF properly but I don’t think I was further than 6 weeks. What about you guys ? 🙂
Totally fair play for facing a fear! I’m sure we will get there someday lol x

[Alicejj8x]

@Hope18 j honestly don't think i could
Wait for the afternoon I would be going crazy lol. The fertility clinic im with in my hospital only do morning scans luckily but I would hate to wait lol. But I don't know if after Wednesday and if everything is ok if I'll go back to having the regular scans if you get me when my midwife books them in as I haven't even spoke to a midwife or anything yet as maybe they want to make sure it's ok before starting to get me into appointments

Yeh it was abit of a shock but we just thought it wasn't meant to be that time round & it was kind of done in a nice way as we didn't build up our hopes if you get me and I had the funniest feeling the whole 2 weeks before our scan that something wasn't right and I always believe trust your gut as mine was telling me and telling me something is wrong.

Ahh yeh I see it's always hard when you just don't know how far along it was. they did tell
Me how far I was when we lost the baby which I duno if that made it harder or easier if you get me it was a strange one

I came off the pill in December 2015 and then literally fell preg straight away but didn't have a clue and that's when we had our MMC so really since the middle of 2016 we've been trying and trying but my periods have been every 3 months and it was hard to know if I was even ovulating I went back and forth to the gp had bloods scans etc etc then finally got referred to fertility clinic and that's when we found out I had PCOS which was a shock as I don't fit the citeria for it that's why the doctors were like nope you haven't got that coz I'm not over weight I haven't got acne or excess hair the only thing I have is irregular periods and then cysts but the left ovary is completely fine and they told me on my last scan that's the ovary I ovulated from so that wa good to hear. I've also been on metformin for Pcos since we found out in December 2017 and the lady said I wouldn't fall preg on it I would need to comeback in Feb for the clomid but low and behold we fell preg a week before I was due to ring up for the clomid tablet lol!! But still on metformin now as they said it helps to reduce miscarriage so to take it up till 12 weeks! Xxx

[Alicejj8x]

I think morning sickness has started lol

[Hope18]

@alicejj8x I thought I’d replied and clearly I hadn’t sorry!! 🙈
Wow quite a journey with PCOS then?! It’s facinating they can tell you which ovary you ovulated from..!
All the best for tomorrow, let me know how you get on!
Uh oh.. morning sickness haha ! Mine has eased this week, feeling more anxious again now and not sure why, I seem to be symptom checking again even though I’ve been told it makes no difference.
Booked in with midwife today, earliest Appointment is 15-3-18 so I’ll be nearly 11 weeks by then if all goes well! X

[Alicejj8x]

@Hope18 oh don't worry lol! Yeah a long old journey for sure lol. I know I was amazed when they told me I was like wow lol.
So had my scan today... they saw a yolk sac and said everything was in the correct place and reckons I'm 5 weeks coz of the sac they saw. I've got to go back 14th March to see if they can see a Fetus they said for 5 weeks I'm doing good and it's all in right place. So I've googled and I think it's pretty normal not to see a Fetus so early on anyway. So feeling happy atm :)

It horrible I've been ok today thou lol. Oh I th j symptom checking makes you feel worse doesn't it. Yeah it Just depends on each Person doesn't it so don't get to worked up about it Hun honestly :)

Ahh yay that's so exciting I bet you can't wait xx

[Hope18]

@Alicejj8x that must have been so reassuring for you, I’m really pleased for you Hun!! 😄

My morning sickness was awful but now I just have gone off things that I usually love like I usually love cheesy pasta and because I ate it when I was going through a sickness stage I can’t stand the sight of it now! And also bbq sauce ! 🤢 Defo not feeling that either !
X

[Alicejj8x]

@Hope18 thank you
Yes defo reassuring to see the progression now just hope next time
Their will be a heart beat but I think at 5 weeks there wouldn't be one anyway and atleast I've shown signs of progression!

Oh no bless you that's so rubbish that the food you liked has been linked to sickness now :( it's funny how you can go off things isn't it xxx

[Hope18]

@Alicejj8x I rekon by next time you’ll have a heartbeat !
Did your partner go with you today ?

I’ve said to my husband I don’t think there’s any point In him coming to first midwife appointment as it will just be lots of info taking like height weight and blood etc. He’s been there for previous scan and that though
Have been debating paying for another scan tho 🙈 just with symptoms up and down etc I just feel like I need reassurance all the time but at £90 a go we can’t afford to go all the time lol!
Really trying my hardest to hold to 12w scan and then I think we will pay for one around 16w xxx

[Alicejj8x]

@Hope18 I really do hope so. Everything going in right direction but just abit scary after the last miscarriage. Yeah he came with me to the scan bless him


When we had our first midwife ( when we had miscarriage) he did end up coming with me but there is honestly no point hun they just speak to you and just want to know all about you!! Think they need a few answers from the partner but you could answer them yourself as there just about any health stuff so aslong as you know his family's health side that's fine coz honestly that appointment is mainly for you

Oh I do love a private scan lol. Wow £90?! That's crazy ours range from £50-£70! Depending which one you want and how far you are obv more for the 4D ones thou!

No I know what you mean with the reassurance if I could I think I id have a private one like every week 😂🙈🙈 it is expensive though! Maybe see if you can hold out but if not then I would book one in like 10 weeks??
Then you haven't got long till the 12w one then lol

Yeh defo do one for 16 as that's the 4D ones then isn't it xxx

[Alicejj8x]

@Hope18 how's it going hun xx

[Hope18]

Hiya @Alicejj8x
Things are going ok as far as I know ! We’ve paid for an extra scan tomorrow! We should be 10 weeks how about you Hun? X

[Alicejj8x]

@Hope18 how did your scan go?!..


Yes all good thanks I'm
7 weeks and on Friday we saw the heart beat so was lovely to see have an early scan wed with fertility clinic so should be able to see it again xx

Hi I’m currently 38+5 weeks pregnant with my first baby,I’ve been booked in for an ecv on Thursday when I’ll be 39 weeks,I also have an anterior placenta so I’m wondering if anyone has had an ecv this late and if it has worked or if there is any point even trying and just book in for a c section?

[natell89]

Hi I was looking for some advice, I had unprotected sex a week ago twice, I took the morning after pill but I was ovulating and I was sure it wouldn’t work even though the pharmacist said it would, well ive now looked it up and turns out I was right, so what are the chances of me being pregnant?

[Gbob1908]

You

Hi just looking for some advice. I was due on my period on friday and nothing. I'm usually like clockwork and my periods are always very heavy the first few days. On saturday late evening I had brown discharge almost nothing and today I have been having brown what looks like old blood and red fresh blood with a small.clot this evening. I haven't had any of my normal period feelings no migraine no mood swings no severe stomach cramps etc that I would normally have the day I start my period and my food tastes off almost like it doesn't taste of anything at all. I was going to do a pregnancy test this week but wasnt sure if I am just over thinking things.
