@Daniki She’s coming over soon to take my daughter out while I finish some work up, just hope I don’t spoil it by spilling this late in the game.

Hahaha baby or general house? I really need to look into storage spaces as I struggle with 1 child’s toys and crap never mind 2 😅

@Daniki haha that’s crazy! Definitely would have booked a private scan as well with that wait! I think once you’re at the 12w stage you’ll be more relaxed.

My 12w scan is bang on 12 weeks form LMP, but told her I’m 3-4 days behind but she said it’s fine, they can do it from 11 weeks anyway so all good.

Yeahhh she knows everything. We were even discussing my hycosy appointment last night 😂😂. She’s going to be soooo shocked.

Ahhh power through the 2.5 hours! You can do it 💪🏼. Hope it’s not manic and can have some relaxing time. Perks of being pregnant with your second is time will go quicker by having to run around after the kids 😅

@Marie1990xoh lovely to get that all sorted 🙌🏻 you will have your booking app before me 🤣 I booked a private scan for the 11th April, I should be 12 weeks &2 days and I can (hopefully) relax then and tell my family! I duno I’m wrecked now I’m very tempted to leave work early but iv only 2.5 hrs left 🤣 iv the shopping to collect after work tho with my son, so will be a manic evening! Ah your mam will be delighted does she know yous have been trying so long etc?

@Daniki yeah telling her on Mother’s Day 😊 I can’t believe I haven’t let it slip beforehand though! Also hoping for a lie in and told my husband I really want some croissants 😂.

I did my hospital referral yesterday and already got my booking in appointment through for mid April and 12w scan (12th May).

Omg I bet you are shattered! How are you staying awake and coping during the day 😅😅

Marie1990x · 26/03/2025 12:30

@Daniki haha I will try. I definitely feel better now though after my bloods. 2 weeks on Sunday until my scan and hoping it goes quick!

@Marie1990xgood! Defo try and relax and enjoy it 🤩 now the long wait until your scan 🤣

Marie1990x · 26/03/2025 10:46

@Daniki haha it’s crazy how much it can vary isn’t it! The doctors just rang me saying it’s a really good number, exactly in the range they’d like/expect it and nothing to be anxious/concerned about. I told them I still couldn’t believe it and feel anxious 😂😂.
I’d told myself I’d be happy with anything around 300, so chuffed with that.

Just called my fertility team as well to cancel appointments. I’m officially going to stop worrying now (for a bit at least 😅).

Marie1990x · 26/03/2025 10:23

@Daniki I’ve got my results, they’re 424. Pretty happy with that I think (from what I’ve googled), would have been 16/17dpo when it was taken yesterday.

oh god hopefully! Hopefully you’re nearing the end of it and into the lovely second trimester 😊

OP posts:
Daniki · 26/03/2025 10:12

@Marie1990xim not sure, I’m hoping it starts to ease soon anyway I read at 10 weeks your symptoms peak with levels been so high so hopefully that means it’ll start to subside 🤣 haha god love ya I’d be the same constantly refreshing it’s so annoying waiting!

Marie1990x · 26/03/2025 09:27

@Daniki omg nooooo that doesn’t sound fun at all! It’s gone on quite a while now hasn’t it. Would they give anti nausea meds?

hahaha no definitely no 10k 😂😂 still waiting 🙄🙄 getting impatient now

OP posts:
Daniki · 26/03/2025 08:54

@Marie1990xnausea has defo ramped up for me I got sick in the garden there before taking my son to preschool 😆 just ate when I came home and feel better. I keep waking up around 5.30 and have to make some toast as I’m very nauseas then. Hoping it eases soon, otherwise il be tempted to ask on Friday for anti nausea meds! Omg I just seen the number 10000 and was like Jesus that’s high! 😂

Marie1990x · 26/03/2025 08:41

@Daniki I don’t mind the sickness as long as it means everything’s as should be 😂. I wasn’t too bad with her, a few occasions but it wasn’t horrendous and didn’t last long, also came a few weeks later than I am now.

I think I’ve refreshed my nhs all about 10,000 times now in the hope of seeing my bloods 😅.

how are you feeling today?

OP posts:
Daniki · 26/03/2025 07:33

@Marie1990xthats a good sign 🙌🏻 I’d say baby related. Were you sick much with your daughter?

Original poster
Marie1990x · 26/03/2025 06:55

@Daniki haha yeahhh treat yourself to finding out 😊. I’m too much of a control freak and like things organised to a tee, so if I didn’t find out I think I would just spiral and stress 😂.

I’ve just had quite a bad bout of sickness and nausea. Still not sure if it’s anxiety or baby related

OP posts:
Daniki · 26/03/2025 06:25

@Marie1990xi know altho dont know final be as strong this time! We’ll see 😂 hope your bloods up soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Marie1990x · 25/03/2025 18:46

@Daniki nope nothing. Just hoping they’ll be on tomorrow. All my bloods in the past have been on the next day, except progesterone took a few days.

Ahhh I wish I’d be able to wait but I’m the most impatient person ever. Don’t know how people are so strong to not find out, I have no willpower 😅

OP posts:
Daniki · 25/03/2025 18:08

@Marie1990xanything yet!? How frustrating! God I haven’t even thought that far so I duno! I didn’t with my son but after taking so long I might be tempted! My husband wouldn’t want to tho!

Marie1990x · 25/03/2025 14:55

@Daniki fabulous news! I can’t believe you’re 10 weeks already, absolutely flown by! Will you find out what you’re having when the time comes?

I think it will be tomorrow now, been refreshing my nhs app like a crazy woman but nothing on there yet.
