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?!

He might really look like an Oliver Michael George! Grin

@Omgwhatthehell Excellent decision to keep it quiet. He might suit an entirely different name when he arrives.

Please tell me he's not going to be Oliver Michael George Grin

although George is an excellent name going back to 1800s in our family

Hah! Definitely not. DH and I both have quite boring common names so would like something outside of the top 50 for the baby.

We're 90% sure we've decided but will see if we are sure when he arrives. We're not sharing it with friends and family as we don't want anyone else's opinion to affect our choice. Certain family members probably wouldn't hold back in giving their opinion!

Good news! Enjoy resting while you can, and take care of yourself. It won’t be long before that baby is in your arms. 💙🌺

Just back from our 32 week scan. Baby OMG is looking good!

They estimated his weight to be 4lb 8oz, which is apparently normal.
He is breech but I understand there's still time for him to move. We'll see what's happening at our next scan in a month.

Finally! A bloody heartwarming thread on here that’s properly warmed my cockles. Much love to you and your DP.
have to say, my parents were in a similar situation many years ago. 15 years they were married and had given up when suddenly out of the blue I turned up. Mum was 40. She always said the reaction of friends and family was amazing.
congratulations x

ChanceNorman · 05/06/2022 23:09

I've just read all of your posts op. It's the nicest thread I've read in a long while, huge congratulations! Not long now 😊

@sazzy5 I don’t think anyone finds it glamorous do they? Grin I shouldn’t complain because I have had a relatively easy ride so far.

@grosgirl When my midwife checked in on me whilst I had Covid I was just told that I get an extra scan because I’d had Covid whilst pregnant.
So it might be worth checking with your midwife? Or maybe different areas do things differently?
I have one tomorrow and another booked at about 37 weeks.

I also had an extra scan (or maybe even two, I can’t quite remember) scheduled because of my age. I believe it’s to keep an eye out for the placenta working correctly. We haven’t questioned it and have just gone along with it as it’s reassuring to have the checks.

32 weeks! Not long now! What a lovely thread, all the best 💐

grosgirl · 05/06/2022 22:48

Sorry to jump on randomly @Omgwhatthehell but I saw that you mentioned up thread that you're having extra scans because you contracted covid.

I just wondered how this came about? I had covid at about 11-12 weeks and mentioned it to my midwife but haven't been told about any extra scans or monitoring etc?

Thanks!

I think from 32 weeks is the tough part, but then I was always struggling with my size at that point. I never found pregnancy glamorous.

Nottogetapenny · 05/06/2022 19:13

Lovely to see your latest update! Hopefully you will see some lovely pictures of your little baby boy tomorrow, and things are going just as they should.
Pregnancy, has all these things like, piles, indigestion, cramps and aches but it’s so worth it. 💙
