Hey girls, who'd have thought we would need another thread!

We welcome other long standers as we have all been ttc for quite while! (All of us about 18 months +)

With the greatest respect, if you are new to ttc, this isn't the thread for you as we are all angry and hormonal 😂😂

@PrettyTulip I hope you get to hear it soon! So cool how they can hear it through the cord!

I know I am in absolute shock sometimes it's surreal!

1 week till my 12 week scan now!

@Annny27 my 16 week appt is over the phone. I think it varies by area but I don't actually meet the midwife until 24w.
I've read they tend not to play the heartbeat too early now as the ultrasound can harm the baby (dunno how) and the Doppler sometimes can't pick it up before 20ish weeks so midwives don't like to cause unnecessary anxiety to the mum-to-be.
Hopefully I'll hear it on my 20w scan (when I think they play the heartbeat through the cord Instead as it's meant to be safer..)

I'm still struggling to comprehend we're finally getting to do this together after so long for us both 🌺🌺

Awwh I am so pleased :D @prettytulip

Some things I see online show ultrasounds hearing the heartbeat but I haven't had it at any of mine. Maybe it's an American thing vs British! I think at 16 weeks midwife they might try hear it for you 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@Annny27 thank you. All was well ❤️ measuring exactly what i should be from my 12w scan with a healthy heartbeat. (Still dying to hear it for the first time 🥺)

Oh don't you worry, that bump will pop! Although I've seen anything before 16-18 weeks is more likely to be your bowels rather than the 'baby'. Nice thought huh 🤔 🤣

Good luck today @PrettyTulip 💗💗💗

Haha I am the opposite I am tinybut still no bump only a bit of bloat 🤣🤣

OP posts:
PrettyTulip · 01/04/2022 09:15

@Annny27 I know exactly how you must be feeling, I was the same. Waiting so long to have your turn so excited but also nervous in case anything is wrong ☹️

I'm overweight anyway so my roll just looks bigger than having a 'bump' 😂 it's the period of growth tho so hopefully a massive change in the next week or two! Scan tomorrow so hopefully all is well x

@prettytulip I think I will do the same around 16 weeks as the 2nd trimester before movements and a bump is hard to believe I bet haha!

Do you have a bump yet?

Only 2 weeks till my 12 week scan and I am excited and nervous haha

OP posts:
PrettyTulip · 26/03/2022 19:12

@Annny27 I think so. I believe they changed it during covid and found it worked well so stuck with it.

Aww amazing. Are you feeling more confident this time? Has it started sinking in yet?

I do not feel pregnant at all! I've got another private scan next weekend for reassurance cos at the moment I'm struggling to think everything is alright! I'll be 15+3 when I have it.

Hope you're doing okay xx

Oh is that because of covid phone appointments?

I had a 9 week scan today and was lovely to see it moving about 🥰

How are you feeling? @PrettyTulip

OP posts:
PrettyTulip · 16/03/2022 19:46

@Annny27 not yet, the hospital just said they'd sort it & send me an appt in the post. My next appt is the 16w midwife one but that's just over the phone x

Annny27 · 16/03/2022 19:42

@prettytulip yeah Its like constant car sickness when I havent eaten for a while!

Do you have your 20 week booked in yet or do they send you the date closer to the time? I have first midwife appointment tomorrow so will find out all the details about my scan etc :)

PrettyTulip · 14/03/2022 20:46

@Annny27 I bet the nausea is horrendous! Kinda glad I've not had it but it would have been reassuring in another manner.

7+4 already. Wow.
I'm 12+5 based on my scan x

Annny27 · 14/03/2022 20:44

@prettytulip awwh lovely 💗💗 yeah I know what you mean I would be the same! I am 7+4 today and got nausea back after a few days of no nausea haha

I was thinking of setting up an Instagram so I could follow mumsnet people and chat there - not decided yet!

OP posts:
PrettyTulip · 14/03/2022 20:40

@Annny27 we've started telling people yes, still so so nervous tbh - I'm sure you'll be the same after what we've been through.

Shame that this is the only way we can communicate tbh. Would be nice to stay updated and keep in touch after all this time x

Annny27 · 14/03/2022 20:26

@PrettyTulip yep 2022 is for us!!

Mmm I am not sure as my hubby really wants to find out but I would happily wait haha. Cross that bridge when it comes to it but I told him he csnt find out unless I want to haha

Have you told people now?

OP posts:
PrettyTulip · 11/03/2022 12:52

@Annny27 glad things are still going well for you then 😊 2022 will be our year 🤩

No; we won't find out, are you?

Annny27 · 11/03/2022 10:37

Amazing @prettytulip SOOO glad it went well! Sounds incredible :)

I think symptoms vary so much. I really only feel nausea when I havent eaten anything for about an hour and half. And I have sore boobs on and off. Sometimes not sore atall haha

Are you gonna find out babies sex?

OP posts:
PrettyTulip · 08/03/2022 19:14

@Annny27 sorry my love was just about to write a message.
All seemed well, dancing around nicely! Measured a few days out so 11w6d but they said all looked like it should at that stage 🥰 just gotta wait for the screening results now

Bless you with the sickness; I've not really had any of the 'normal' symptoms which worries me immensely. Super tired and extremely constipated meaning I can't finish a meal without feeling super bloated so have to eat little amounts.
How are you doing today?

@Tinkerbell098 thank you! I wouldn't quite say lucky we've been here for 3yrs but it's nice it's finally happened at the same time for us.
Good luck with your journey too x

Tinkerbell098 · 08/03/2022 11:28

@Annny27 thanks for replying. Must be a lucky thread then :) congrats to you and @PrettyTulip and wish you all the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy and after.

@prettytulip oh wow! Best of luck lovely 💗💗🌈 let me know how it goes.

And ahh I feel so sick haha. Didn't have sickness last time so this is a shock. How about you?

OP posts:
PrettyTulip · 07/03/2022 13:02

@Annny27 oh that's great! I bet it was very emotional for you! How are you feeling?
I have my 12w scan tomorrow and I'm nervous as hell tbh 😣 x x

@tinkerbell098 so sorry to only have just seen this!! This thread is really only me and pretty at the moment and we are both expecting so probanly not the best space if ttc BUT I am on another thread with ladies with infertility which is still active and I have linked it below. Feel free to join:)

@prettytulip how are you?? I had my 6.5 week scan and saw a heartbeat which was lovely :)

OP posts:
Tinkerbell098 · 23/02/2022 12:30

Hi ladies, can I join? I'm not 18 months yet, but almost there as this is cycle 15 for us (although have been "trying" for a few months before that). Had bloods, SA done last year which were normal. Had an ultrasound at the start of this month which showed a fibroid and thin lining. So trying to work on that this month as I have increased my Vit E dose, trying swimming and yoga to improve blood flow to the uterus. Also started acupuncture last month. I have my HSG booked for next week as well. So, some progress I guess.

@Annny27 congratulations on the BFP! How long have you been TTC? Sorry, I'm yet to catch up on all the messages.
