AIBU to think I may be further along ...

[browny1981]

Hi all
In a bit of shock but need some opinions!
So for the past few days ive had some leaking of colostrum type liquid both breasts, I'm 39 and have had 5 kids , new partner of 3 years no contraception ; he couldn't have children! Well after the leaking came these rolling movements in my upper abdomen between my belly bottom and my ribs on the right side , i videoed it to see if it was visible and it was ! I phoned the GP who was very dismissive and then said well just take a test, wouldn't see me to examine due to covid . Done a clearblue digital and it says pregnant 1 to 2
With the movement and leaking could I be further along? I have had light but regular periods for months I track them using the clue app. Thanks x

My midwife told me to get my partner and daughter to listen to the baby's heartbeat through a toilet roll later on in my pregnancy? Might be worth a go to see if your partner can hear anything then it would be an indication that your baby is over 15 weeks atleast? We didn't actually try it but a baby's heartbeat is quite different to ours? Just a thought? How exciting though! Congratulations!

I think you're 2nd trimester. Got to be. Congrats 🥳

Shameless placemarking too! Congratulations

Very exciting! Lovely to hear such great news Looking forward an update!!

Ohhh congrats xx

Oh blimey you must be a good way along I'd think! I was just short of 20 weeks when I had a dating scan.

Congratulations. What lovely news xx

Here for the result.... Good luck OP!!

Wow! Congrats! I hope the GP can get you in quickly to see where you are.

Ooh how scary and exciting OP
I was 27 weeks when i found out. I had zero symptoms, like NOTHING and no weight gain, was still in an au6 and only went to and au 8-10 by time i was due

Lady on my ward with my last DC found out she was weeks further on than she’d expected - she went assuming she was going for her first scan, albeit she believed she’d be around 18 wks because of a delay getting booked on (family issues) and turned out she was actually 35 wks

Within 3 days of having the scan and finding his out her contractions started and she went into labour, baby born just shy of 36 weeks. Very small but absolutely fine.

These things happen!

Also she was well into her 30s! Not that it matters but it’s not like she was a young first time mum either, already 4 kids at home!

Congratulations! I'd say you're quite far on if you can see movement and you're leaking colostrum!

For those asking - the uterus is usually palpable after around twelve weeks.
I know with my second pregnancy I could palpate it fairly easily (you have to be quite firm).

Ohio, my oldest is 22 ! I have 2 granddaughters lol then I have one at 20 and 3 at home aged 14,13 And 10 , currently 6 months away from completing my degree and soooo shocked tonite ! My DP and I have been friends for years and when I became single and he did we spent a lot of time together and then boom ! We got together, madness

Wow congratulations

Congratulations! I hope you get the scan date through soon.

Wow, congratulations!! If your scan is a few days /weeks away you could always book into a private scan Centre. And my daughter is a size 14 and 23 weeks pregnant with her first. The baby's movements are just visible .

Congrats! Shamelessly here to celebrate your happiness and see how you get on.

Yip I am shameless

Congratulations OP really hope everything works out for you!

Have you told DP?

Another one jumping on shamelessly to follow your journey.

Please don't wait for an NHS scan and keep us all in suspense for weeks, I'm sure we would all be more than happy to get a whip round for a private one just so we can know faster 😂😂

Congratulations!

Congrats Op! Aquick google shows graphs of hcg in pregnancy and it looks like the 20 week level is not that different to the 4 week level. Very exciting!

Such a lovely story, Congratulations !

How exciting for you and your partner! Watching with interest!

Oh wow! These are my favourite kind of posts. There was a recent one where a lady posted on here that she had felt something move and was freaking out, and she had the baby not long after. Please get a private scan tomorrow just to indulge us! . Good luck!
