Is this positive?!

I’ve name changed for this. I am due in hospital tomorrow for a colposcopy because of periods being all over the place. Just decided to do a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side.
DH and I were told earlier this year it was very unlikely we could conceive due to my age and low AMH levels.

Was not expecting this. I’m not going nuts am I? Is this positive? Is there any way it could be wrong?

DH is at work & I can’t talk to him for a couple of hours. Am shaking.

Is this positive?!

The sickness is great news as you have a much lower chance of stillbirth and miscarriage! I had hyperemesis for nine months and baby was so healthy - slept through every night from six weeks! She's now 10 and has been to the doctor only once in her life!

Just came across this thread. Absolutely delighted for you Op. Congratulations to you and your DH. x

Wishing you a smooth and healthy rest of your pregnancy , enjoy!!!

Lovely update! I know how awful pregnancy nausea can be, hopefully you have passed the worse of it. It seems no time at all since you started this thread and you are almost half way! Looking forward to more updates. Take care and look after yourself. Xx

The sickness is no joke is it!? @EishetChayil
It's so nice to be feeling a bit more normal. I usually do quite a bit of exercise but it had gone out the window. I'm hoping I can get back on it now, albeit gently. I've found a local place which does pregnancy yoga so am going to start that in a week or two.

So nice to hear! Well, not nice that you've been nauseous, but great that things are progressing. I remember the pure relief when I started to feel better at around 16-17 weeks.

I've just got a little update for you. I've had quite bad nausea the past few weeks but it seems to be tailing off!
I actually nearly cried on a work video call the other week as I felt so awful. I've had to get off a bus to vomit and have been gagging every morning in the shower.
In the past couple of days I really feel I'm turning a corner, thank god.
I feel so much brighter. I've also started to develop what seems to be a baby bump, rather than just a bit of bloat, which is nice.

It's been fun telling people. One of my friends was so shocked she actually had to immediately sit down in the middle of the floor Grin
We've still not told all of our friends and family, but will do after the 20 week scan, which is in just over 4 weeks.

Want to say a huge congratulations 🎉
Baby looks so cute in the scan photo

HelloFrostyMorning · 24/01/2022 23:19

I normally dislike these 'am i pregnant' threads, as they are always accompanied by a negative test and 9 out of 10 posters cooing and ahhing about how it's a positive.

But this is a wonderful thread, and I am SO pleased for you @Omgwhatthehell CONGRATULATIONS! Flowers

Wallabyone · 24/01/2022 23:14

We’ve had so much fun telling people this weekend.
My parents are absolutely thrilled. My mum almost cried.
And my close friends are so much more excited than I imagined! Most of them have children so we’ve had lots of offers of baby clothes and toys. It’s been really lovely.

@Omgwhatthehell

We’ve had our scan and all is looking good. Thought I’d share it with you all. Due date is 31st July.

We were both quite nervous but the sonograper was lovely.
She said all is looking well. And that the baby has a cute face. I imagine she says that to everyone, but it was still nice!

It was incredible to see the little one moving around in there. And see all of it’s fibgers and toes. We feel excited but are very much taking this stage by stage.

We chose to have the tests available. There’s no sign of Down’s syndrome from the scan, but we should know within 4 days if the bloods indicate a high chance of this, Edwards or Patau.

Congratulations. So excited for you both cxx
