Hi ladies,

Recently got my BFP (will be 5 weeks tomorrow) 🥰and wondered if anyone has also recently got their BFP and would like to join this thread?

I'm 33, been actively TTC for around 6 months, This is my second pregnancy as I had a MMC at 8 weeks at the end of 2021. But if successful will be my first baby 🙏🏼✨ took a break in between as I was getting married.

Really hoping for a positive healthy pregnancy this time✨🤞🏻

@Ziska93 amazing!! Congrats🙌🏼

Haha I feel you with the not believing anything is in there- have you had much in the way of symptoms?

I still have 12 day wait until 12w scan x

Yes! I had my 12 week scan last Thursday! Amazing experience. I didn’t believe there was anything there until I saw it bouncing around. Baby due Jan 1st! Anyone else?

@Ella31 aww sorry to hear you're still struggling with the nausea. I'm still pretty symptomless really, apart from the tiredness and odd sicky feeling every now and again.
They found an empty sack on my scan yesterday so one there was another which didn't make it 😞 obvs I am sooo happy I have a healthy one there but sad for my little lost one too xx

I'm so sorry to hear that, thats what I'm so worried about. I've my 10 week scan on Tuesday and I'm worried one sac it will be empty. The doc said its common. Hope you are doing ok

Congrats to you both on your scans. How are you all feeling. Dry wretching a lot at the mo and no appetite. Also get little cramps down there.

Hows everyone doing?

I had my early scan today and saw a baby with a heartbeat, i'm 8w3 🥺🥰

So so pleased and relieved 🙏🏼 but know it's still early days, hoping everyone else on this thread is doing well

Thought it would be interesting to share that i've had very minimal symptoms so far no sickness or anything, I know people offer worry if they don't have anything obvious but goes to show everyones different!! X

That's wonderful. Totally agree, everyone is different. Delighted for you. I'm the same as you 8 and 3.

@Ella31 Yes it really is heartbreaking, I’m actually petrified to go to my scan. I have a phobia of the dentist from a bad experience and it genuinely feels like that with this! Hoping to change that experience this time 🙏

I’ve had aching and weird twinges too on certain days and it is scary. I’ve realised a lot of it is also down to digestion though as that goes completely haywire during pregnancy so some foods make my stomach feel horrendous now (like pulses, berries) which didn’t before. Especially with you having twins, I can’t imagine how much more your body will be changing and rearranging itself!

Aaaaaagh it’s all so exciting/nerve-racking!

@Coinicon fingers crossed your scan will be perfect and the experience itself was lovely. I didn't even notice the machine or feel it. I was so focused on the screen in front of me.

Yeah the twinges and aches worry me. Sometimes it feels like I'm coming on my period. I'm dry heaving a lot in the mornings. I hate giving out as I cried so much prior to this when I wasn't successful but being pregnant is bloody hard isn't it.
What date is your scan again?

@Ziska93 exciting!! How far along are you now?

I’ve had days where I’ve been okay other than the morning and then days where I’ve been sickly all day! I just keep eating and it seems to help 😊

I went through a period of having really sore boobs, then they were fine and now they’re back to being really sore. Plus one nipple is now darkening and itchy (waiting for the other one to catch up!), anyone else had any nipple changes yet? 🤣🤣

Very exciting to get the first scan. So fingers crossed for ye. I don't know if any of ye would agree but for those of you who have had losses before scans, it's heart breaking to have nothing isn't it.

Definitely feeling it in my boobs. Constantly sore. I'm having a lot of aching and it's making me nervous.

Is it just me or is mumsnet kind of difficult to use? Anyway, first midwife appointment tomorrow after 4 weeks of counting the hours… and my friend has her first scan appointment half an hour before. She’s always a step ahead and she’s always telling me what to expect. I can’t wait to see her scan picture and then to get mine (hopefully) in a few weeks time!

IDK about you but I’m feeling absolutely rotten all day long atm! Anyway, hope you’re all doing well :) welcome to the new ladies and congratulationssss!

Coinicon · 06/06/2023 17:31

Congratulations @Ella31, I can imagine that is a shock but wow what a surprise! Praying everything goes well with your twins and glad to hear you’re feeling optimistic 🤍

CaribbeanCupcake · 06/06/2023 12:22

Omg @Ella31 congratulations! Amazing news!! All the positive thoughts and vibes coming your way xx

Ella31 · 06/06/2023 11:30

Ladies I had my first scan. I'm 7 weeks with twins. I'm in shock. Scared but optimistic. Measured a week behind so hope all is ok.
