@Daniki it was this morning, all fine and measuring bang on where I thought at 11+2, so official EDD is 29th November 🥰. Feel like I can relax a bit now. Baby was soooo active and basically bouncing off the walls of my womb 😅.
Booked my gender scan too now for the 7th June, 3 weeks on Saturday can’t come quick enough 😅.

No way! That’s such a ballache having to have internal all the time. Hopefully your next one can be abdominal. I haven’t had any internal, they tried but I’d always asked to attempt abdominal first and always managed to find what was what

@Marie1990xOh you defo should! What time is your scan? 🙌🏻🙌🏻 im hoping by the next one they can see on abdominal scan even at the one at 15 weeks we had to do an internal as iv a retroverted uterus 🤣

@Daniki it’s such a delightful time isn’t it 😅. Hopefully you’re getting your fair share now and have a smooth remainder.
Oh hopefully they will scan you at the clinic. The gaps between scans are so long, no wonder people spend a fortune on private ones.

I’m starting with scanxiety now. Hoping we get to see an actual baby shape this time rather than just a blob 😅

@Marie1990xi don’t think I was showing until adound 20 weeks last time! And the round ligament pain etc is so annoying 🤣 il mention it at my next app but its definitely doesn’t occur as much as it used to! I’m 16+4 now, my anomaly scan isn’t until I’m 23 weeks but I have a clinic app around 19
weeks and i think they will scan me then 🙌🏻

@Daniki haha mental isn’t it! Did you show early with your son? I’m sure I didn’t have a bump until at least 16 weeks 😂. How far are you now? When’s your next scan?

GP said once I’m in my second trimester at 13 weeks, try having them alternate nights rather than every night and see how I get on. Some evenings I start feeling nauseous around the time I’m due to take, but not sure if it’s all in my head lol.

Oh nooo I’d definitely be asking for something. It’s gone on from the get go hasn’t it, you poor thing!

Daniki · 11/05/2025 20:41

@Marie1990xI know it’s crazy, I was showing at 8 weeks! And I look ready to pop now 🤣🤣 oh how exciting 🙌🏻🙌🏻 hope all goes well, let us know 🥰 did they say when they will wean you off it or what way does it work? Not sure what to do it comes and goes, went to do the shopping today and was vomiting in the car before I went it in🤣

Marie1990x · 11/05/2025 20:38

@Daniki haha not to worry, I do that all the time if I don’t reply straight away!
oh perfect! At least you don’t have to keep going for checks. Omg no way you’re still getting nausea! Are you tempted to get some anti sickness tabs? That is rough!

I’m good thank you ☺️. Still taking my sickness tablets so not sure if it would have naturally worn off yet or not, I haven’t dared stop them yet.

11+5 according to LMP, 11+1 according to my guesstimate 😂. I have my NHS scan tomorrow so will hopefully get my confirmed due date. Looking forward to (hopefully, all being well) being able to tell people. I’m already showing so it’s getting harder to hide. They weren’t kidding when they say you show earlier with a second!

@Marie1990xi went to reply the other day and got distracted, apologies! Went grand, my no was elevated but not as high so staying on the bp tablet and bought a monitor to test myself at home daily. How are you getting on? I’m still as sick with nausea and migraines 🙈 feel just miserable and then so guilty for feeling like that after all iv went through tk get here 🙈 how far along are ya now!?

Marie1990x · 05/05/2025 19:24

@Daniki how did the monitoring go? Hope it went well and you’re feeling better. Ohhh gosh nooo is the sickness still there?

OP posts:

Daniki · 01/05/2025 10:18

@Marie1990xah that sounds great you’re feeling better! I’m just in the hospital now for blood pressure monitoring think my first reading was ok so hopefully stays that way! Had another migraine yest and last night but thankfully has stayed away at the minute 🙏 but very sick the whole journey up the road to hospital getting sick in a bag 🤣 the joys! Hopefully I get to enjoy some of the glowing second trimester soon 🤣🤣

Marie1990x · 29/04/2025 20:05

@Daniki oh I hope it doesn’t enter your household, it’s torture isn’t it 😩. Hoping she’s well enough for nursery tomorrow, I need a break 😅.

He gave me Promethazine hydrochloride. They made me super spaced out at first but I think I’ve got the dosage right and they’re a dream.

Oh noooo I really hope you can get it sorted and stop these migraines too! You’re having such a rubbish time of it when you should now be enjoying your glowing trimester!

OP posts:

Daniki · 29/04/2025 19:35

@Marie1990xah the poor thing! There’s awful bugs and stuff going round at the minute, my friends house is plagued with it it’s a wonder we haven’t had it yet as our children go to the same preschool! 🙈 that’s great, is it the cariban tablets? They’ve given me a beta blocker to take, and il see how I get on Thursday they might increase it or take me off it if my blood pressure is fine! But I don’t think it will be, I was so sick last night with a migraine and this morning. I honestly felt like I could feel the blood rushing through my body 🙈

Marie1990x · 29/04/2025 19:22

@Daniki awww amazing you got to see baby again 🥰 when will the next time be now?

Oh no, another thing to contend with! How often will the monitor? Could they do/give anything to help?

I keep forgetting I’m even pregnant at the moment, these tablets the doctor gave me for sickness are incredible. Thankfully as my daughter is poorly and spiking fevers for the last few days so haven’t had time for pregnancy symptoms 😅

OP posts:

Daniki · 28/04/2025 14:59

@Marie1990xwent to update you and realised I hadnt replied! Had my booking app today, all went well great to see baby again, but I have high blood pressure. Was kind of expecting it with the headaches iv been having but it’s freaked me out nonetheless! Have to go back in on Thursday for monitoring. My boss will be delighted after us just being back to work this week 🤣🙈

Marie1990x · 26/04/2025 18:09

@Daniki gosh there’s always something isn’t there! Are you feeling any better?

OP posts:

Daniki · 25/04/2025 19:42

@Marie1990xwell at least there is a reason for it and it’s so common! Ah I hope it works 🙏🙏🙏 yes I have my prescription migraine meds but I don’t like taking too many 🙈 stocked up on electrolytes so hoping that helps aswell and taking extra iron 🙈

Marie1990x · 25/04/2025 16:04

@Daniki this time they actually found a subchorionic hematoma so that’s where the brown spotting came from. Said I might get some more and not to worry if I do.

ob no bless you! Is there anything you can take for it?

I’ve been to the doctors today for my sickness, cannot keep anything down so he’s given me some medication, fingers crossed it works

OP posts:

Daniki · 25/04/2025 07:16

@Marie1990xsure if anything it be nice to see baby again! I’m struggling headaches and migraines so bad, really hoping it starts to ease soon as can’t really cope much longer and back to work next week 🙈 have my scan on Monday which I can’t wait for! My pelvis is really hurting aswell I’d say I have pelvic girdle pain so hoping they link me in with a physio or something 🙈

Marie1990x · 24/04/2025 19:56

@Daniki yeah going to have to still go, could do without it now 😅 but at least it’s in the morning so won’t be waiting around all day for it.

How are you feeling?

OP posts:

Daniki · 24/04/2025 18:57

@Marie1990xthats crazy! Will you still go in for your scan in EPU tomorrow?

Original poster

Marie1990x · 24/04/2025 16:25

@Daniki definitely feel so much better. He even said if looks like I ovulated from my left side and that’s where I felt the definite twinge during ovulation so makes me believe even more it was then! The date aligns with that too. Crazy crazy times

Daniki · 24/04/2025 15:40

@Marie1990xoh great! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 what a relief 🥰

Original poster

Marie1990x · 24/04/2025 15:28

@Daniki all good 🥰. Back to measuring where I expected at 8+5. He can’t see where the brown spotting came from so just said it must have been “one of those things in pregnancy” 😅
