TTC Baby #3 Not our first rodeo 🤠

@MamaO88 hope you’re not feeling too bad have you had sickness or are you just really tired?how are you doing apart from that?

I’m so nauseous and tired all the time but with my 9month old and 2yr old I barely get any time to try and have a nap or a rest. I’m getting there slowly I haven’t my booking appointment on the 2nd of January so will get my date for my scan then. I’m really anxious for some reason. I go back to work off maternity leave in feb they aren’t going to be too impressed as this is the 2nd time I’ve been back to work pregnant 😂🙈 3rd maternity leave back to back 🙈

@olivehush congratulations what a lovely Christmas present for you!!

@MamaO88 congratulations on getting through the first trimester!

Sorry for the radio silence, first trimester has been kicking my butt and then throw Christmas into the mix too! 🙃I hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday!

Congratulations @olivehush - what a perfect Christmas present!

@OliveRose2 congratulations to you too!

@Outside9 I understand the uncertainty and anxiety but as others have said, I’m sure in time you will adjust and before you know it you’ll struggle to imagine your family without your little twinnies! We actually have the same due date - although of course you won’t go to term with two!

@mummatara @PoppyN919 @Lilacrose27 @underthethree how are you all getting on?

We had our 12 week scan on Monday there, I felt so emotional watching the screen! Everything looking good, due date 2nd July but realistically will be a June baby due to my previous pregnancies. We officially announced it to the world yesterday and I’m now entering the second trimester 😍

@olivehush
Congratulations! What a lovely Christmas present! And great that it's showing 2-3 weeks already.

I actually got a positive test too on 22nd - still can't really believe it!

@olivehush thank you so much for the encouragement. I'm trying my hardest to focus on the positives.

Due date is 2nd July. I'll have to have scans every 4 weeks.

Merry Christmas all x

Literally no one in my or DH's family have twins.

I didn't go for any early scans. I did try when I experienced days of spotting, but they saod wouldnt see me unless referred by a GP as I already had two kids. I wasn't overly worried as I experienced minor spotting in previous pregnancies.

Symptoms have been strong and havent lightened up like they did at this point in previous pregnancies. It all makes sense now.

The sonographer was so lovely. Consoled me as I cried like a baby. Good news (I guess) they're very healthy, and aren't sharing sac or umbilical cord, so lower risk.

But my goodness twins, in a two bed house. We are so screwed.

@Outside9oh my goodness twins 🙈 it’s a lot to digest esp if it’s never been a consideration it might happen before with like family history etc it’s unexpected news and it’s ok to feel a bit ahhhhh about it. Did you go for an early scan at any point or just waited for 12 week?

Welp. Had 12week scan today.

I won't be having 3 under 5, I'll be having 4 under 5 as I'm carrying twins.

To say I am shocked and devastated is understatement. We were on the fence about 1 more, didn't consider we'd have two.

I see people this scenario all the time. Never thought it would happen to us. I know I sound ungrateful. **

Went for a scan today and saw a HB 😍 how’s everyone doing? @olivehushany sign of O?

@Lilacrose27 congratulations xx

Wowza, 3 under 3!

I was questioning my sanity doing 3 under 5. Mine will be 4 and almost 2 when/if 3rd arrives.

Update: The digital one has confirmed it I’m pregnant again! I’m nervous for 3 under 3 I’ll have an almost 3yr old (they’ll be 3 months out from being 3) and a 17month old which will be the exact same age gap as my two I have already! I’m feeling mixed emotions right now as I had difficult pregnancies and my relationship with my partner has only just got back on track from my last pregnancy.

wishing everyone luck on their journey and lots of baby dust for everyone too!

Did a test just now and I’m not sure if this is a line or not or if it’s an evap line it was a clear blue 1 minute result one and I know the blue dye tests are known for evap lines and false positives. Going to get a digital test at some point to find out for sure I’m having mixed feelings right now and I’m actually a bit scared if I’m being completely honest.

I don’t really know why I’m positing this when I don’t know for certain but I’m a bit emotional I’m sat holding my baby who is not much older than my first was when I fell pregnant with him. my boyfriend said he can’t see a line an I imagining it?

@olivehush I‘m not too sure as my periods have been ridiculously irregular since having my little one earlier this year. I am currently late for my period and my app is telling me to test in 3days if it doesn’t arrive so fingers crossed although I’m not holding much hope this time around if I’m honest.

I did get impatient last weekend and did a few early tests but they all seemed to have indent or evap lines on them it was two different brands too and I did 2 clear blue early digital ones and they were negative. I’ll just have to keep trying!

I hope everything goes well for you and also for everyone else on here too

@olivehushscan is on Tuesday so not too long now. My symptoms have really ramped up now so I’m a teeny bit hopeful that we might see a HB 🤞🏼oooh what is your cycle doing to do! If it helps I don’t normally get even a hint of a rise until the day before O when it just all of a sudden goes bam I’m gonna peak. Maybe your body is levelling out again after the vits? I think you said you normally O around CD 17/18?

@mummatara yeah the doctor suggested we wait for the results of 14dpo before deciding if we’d check Hcg again. Personally I would have just done them 48hrs later anyways.

but I’ve had the results of my 14dpo Hcg now and it’s 299. Which im happy with. I’ve done another blood test today at 18dpo and the doctor said she’ll ring me with the results when she gets them.

if the 18dpo look okay then I’ll be waiting for the scan at 7+2. I can’t believe I’m only 4+2 today considering I’ve known for over a week now 😂🫣 3 weeks until my scan 🤞

@underthethreeahhhh got everything crossed for you. Did they only take one set of bloods? I only had that one episode of bleeding and thankfully nothing more so long may it stay that way 🤞🏼

I spoke to the EPU this morning and they’ve booked me in a week on Tuesday I’ll be 6+2 for a scan. Still can’t believe I have know for almost 2 weeks and I’m still only 5 weeks 😂 our house has vomited christmas this weekend so I’ve had a tonne of stuff to keep me very busy. Eldest is beside himself with excitement.

@mummatara I’ve just read some of your posts from here and I just wanted to say I’ve had a similar experience to you. I tested positive on 10dpo. Had some spotting from 12dpo-14dpo (period would normally be due on 14dpo). The spotting luckily has stopped and I’m now 17dpo. My test lines have consistently gotten darker. They are now starting to steal the dye.

I had my bloods done on 14dpo but won’t be getting the results until tomorrow. I have continued to test, skipping a few days here and there. I will probably take an easy at home tomorrow before my doctors appointment and then take my last digital weeks indicator in a few days. Then I plan to stop testing as I know the lines can only tell you
so much and you need a scan to tell you more. I have a scan booked for when ill be 7+2.

@OliveRose2thanks lovely. Oh big hugs it’s so hard to keep up positivity you can’t do it all the time hopefully you get a lil sticky one v soon 🤞🏼

@Anonna123@Outside9 thanks ladies

@PoppyN919ahhh that’s great news. How far along are you now? Oh gosh yes I bet that is so hard! Have you told work yet?

I was brave yesterday took one last picture of my tests and chucked them away. Then didn’t do any this morning. It’s so hard to step away from them but they are not going to tell me anything different at this point I just need to wait for a scan now

Hope everyone is doing okay ❤️

We had our early scan yesterday which was thankfully reassuring. The nausea and fatigue are kicking my butt, so have requested a fit note from my GP to come out the out of hours part of my work (I do evenings/nights/weekends) because it’s been a struggle!

sending positive thoughts to those of you in your 2ww ❤️
