Congratulations @BeeKeeping and @Nolagerformethanks

Does anyone else find that they're really anxious at the moment. I'm soooo on edge. Really looking forward to having a scan for a bit of reassurance.

Hey! I'm due on March 29th! I am 5 weeks and 2 days & really anxious as I had a miscarriage in April! Sad
I've been doing the clear blue digital tests and all 3 have said 1-2 weeks, it's been over two and a half weeks between the 1st and the 3rd ones I've done. Blush
It's really scary because all I've wanted my whole life is a baby.
Thank you!

First time for me and I'm 10+1 due 23rd February.

Also very anxious, we have had 2 private early scans. One this time last week due to my symptoms dropping but all was well!

Hi joining please! Congratulations everyone Smile
I'm due 6th Feb, very excited but have had lots of anxiety so far.
I'm not sure how to tag people yet but Jessica, I had the same issue with clear blue digital weeks staying the same and I convinced myself something was terribly wrong. Had our 12 week scan last week and baby is growing fine, I think the tests just weren't so accurate for me so please try not to worry too much about them! Easier said than done I know!

@Baby160P How many weeks were you when you had your first private scan?
I was looking into this earlier today, I'm 5+2 now and found out just before I was 4 weeks, waiting until the 12 week scan seems forever away! X

Hi everyone! Jumping on here, due first baby on the 6th of January! As the weeks go by I find I am getting a bit less nervous. I’m looking forward to finally feeling some movements, hopefully in a few weeks! Smile

@JessicaFirmin94 clear blue tests aren't all that great, my friend did one when she was 6 months and it said 8 weeks haha!

I'm newly pregnant too into week 8, I am anxious especially as a friend of mine went to her scan last week and the baby was still an egg, she had all the signs of being pregnant, and looked it but the fertilised egg hadn't grown, so now I'm so scared! First time being pregnant, can't wait for my scan start of September.

Good luck everyone x

@Jellyfish89 we had one at 7 weeks and one at 9 weeks. I am just very anxious especially as my symptoms seem to go around 8 weeks although they come back every now and then. I'm just very tired.

Saw a little heart beat at both scans but they were internal scans as clearer apparently.

Jellyfish89 · 29/07/2018 19:21

@Baby160P Aww that must be reassuring and not too long for you now until the 12 week scan! I think I might get an early one, just for a little peace of mind if anything! Smile

Hi everyone!

This is my second pregnancy, but hopefully my first baby. I suffered a missed miscarriage in April (was supposed to be 12 weeks but a scan revealed an empty sac Sad).

I'm now eight weeks pregnant, and an early scan this week revealed a healthy bean with a heartbeat ❤ I'm due on the 11th of March.

Hi everyone!

Similar story to @ColbaltRose, I had a missed miscarriage in April, so second pregnancy hopefully first baby!

Went for a private early scan today which was lovely. Little one measuring 8w+4 and good heartbeat. Technician said everything was as it should be so feeling a bit better about it all and starting to get really excited. Although March 2019 sounds like a lifetime away. Especially as I have awful morning sickness that lasts all day and is absolutely killing me.
