January 2015 - New Year, New Baby, New Thread! #2

[fancyacupoftea]

Thread #2 for the January droppers.

Here are the stats!

Hi ladies just wanted a bit of advice im prob clutching at straws,i did a clear blue digi test showing 3+ weeks which has went up sine 2 weeks ago since i tested,also feeling nausea and boobs sore and so tired.just wondering if anyone knows any positve outcomes of not seeing a baby in sac and thenseeing it at next scan.I could be wrong but i still feel preg,i suppose it could all be hormones and i'll find out for sure on tues

Have spoken to community widwife team and they have said that I need to monitor the discharge - it was a tiny amount and brown in the discharge so not major but I freaked completely!

If it increases or gets red or any painful cramping I need to call back immediately. However if no change or disappears then go to my planned mw apt tomorrow and mention it then and if she is concerned I may be referred for early scan but probably nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the reassurance ladies! I have to go to court now for work so need to calm down and get a grip!

Gingy I have not been in your position, but when I had an early scan with DS, they dates me nearly 10 days behind where my LMP said I should be.

At the dating scan, the gestation was put forwards by about 4/5 days (from the gestation date of the first scan). Everything is so small at this stage and unless IVF pretty hard to know exactly when baby was conceived - I personally would assume I am pregnant until told otherwise, I will keep everything crossed for Tuesday

Cheshire Glad you got the reassurance!

Thanks all scan not til later this afternoon. Am still bleeding but not as much but given the blood clots am not feeling to postive. Will see later

Thanks for the reply hate being in limbo just wish I knew one way or the other. Thinking about you scoops keeps us posted x

Good luck scoops, wishing you a happy and healthy little bean at your scan later

(Just waiting for my scan...fx fir bean here too!)

Good luck with the scans ladies

Helloooo... can I join the group?

Just as an intro, I did a pregnancy test last Friday and then another on Saturday morning (as I was in disbelief!) and yes - a BFP!

My husband and I got married in December last year, I came off cerazette pill so we would start trying around the 9th April and kepow - by 9th May I had a BFP! Never ever thought it would happen so quickly and haven't even had a period since coming off the pill so it may be tricky to work out my due date at the moment - but I work out it will be anywhere between 9th and 16th January 2015. Eeek - we are both so excited although it hasn't really sunk in yet either.

Not had many symptoms except feeling pretty tired (was dosing up on extra strong caffeine in the first few weeks before I realise why - have cut that down now!) Also drank copious amounts of jagerbombs in April at my best friend's wedding - so much so I may call the baby Jager ;)

Got a GP appointment for next Wednesday and at the moment am just keeping everything crossed that everything will be OK. Have to dodge drinking when I go to a friend's for dinner tomorrow night, which we are going to have to be very cunning about!

Things could end up being more tricky with me as I have a whole in my heart and had other heart surgery when I was four. Cardiologist, who I see once a year, has told me I should carry a baby without problems, but I will be monitored more closely and probably have more scans (and more checks on me). Double complications are that I am adopted so have zero family history, so no idea if my heart problems are genetic (I think there is a 1 in 20 chance or something that they are).

At the moment, without wishing time away, I just want to get to 12 weeks and know everything is OK. I am sure I am not the only one who feels like that?!

That sounds nice and reassuring, cheshire.

Good luck for everyone in scan limbo. Fingers crossed for happy scan results.

At the moment I cannot. stop. eating. Seem to be on a schedule of breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, mid-afternoon snack, evening snack, dinner! And if I don't eat I feel dreadful. I'm going to be the size of a house in another couple months if this keeps up.

x-post Frances, welcome! And haha at Baby Jager. Yes, I've also been finding that the days are going verrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy sloooooooowlyyyyy. Can't wait for things to start happening and it all to feel a bit more real. Hope you have a completely trouble-free pregnancy with your heart complications - sounds like the docs aren't too worried about how you'll do, so that's good.

Thanks Rumisyum, I try not to worry about it too much but think it's only natural - especially since it's our first. I beat myself up a bit about all the booze I consumed in April/early May when I first found out, and then realised I need to give myself a break a bit - clearly I wouldn't have done it if I had realised it would happen so fast, but after being on the pill for 2.5 years and being 34, I thought we would be trying for months! Man I miss wine / beer / gin / TEA already though!!

Welcome Frances, I miss my wine sooooooooooo badly too good job it's for a fantastic reason. I was in shock at my BFP too, came off the pill and started ttc in march and got my BFP at the start of May, 2 months is all it took and I'll be 43 on Sunday

Welcome Frances!! And don't worry about the booze: I've always said that dd's amniotic fluid probably solely consisted of Balinese rum for the first two weeks of her existence...it makes for very happy children

So: scan done, all BRILLIANT, there's definitely a baby in there (and def just one!) and we saw a heartbeat, hurray!!! I have a very blurry picture of what vaguely looks like a snowman and had a little cry

I was dated closer to 5+4 rather than 6+3, so time isn't just going s l o w l y but actually backwards, ha! They'll be able to date properly at the 12 wk scan but for now, I'm in heaven.

Today, I am pregnant

Good luck to all the other early scanners

Yay Made that's fantastic news, so glad all is ok with your little bean

Hurrah, MlleG! That's fabulous news!

Welcome Frances!! Hope everything goes straight forwardly for you in the coming months!!

Mademoiselle - thats amazing that they saw a heart beat so early on!! Yay!! Really hope the Dr will refer me now!!

Hurrah mademoiselle - that's wonderful news!!!

I've booked my early scan in today for 14th June - I'll be 7 + 4 and the lovely lady on the phone said this was a better date in case I was a bit earlier than I thought.

Tempted to take another test - just to get through my disbelief!!! I think until my AF doesn't actually arrive it doesn't feel real

But feeling very tired and a bit sick in mornings so there is definitely something up!!!

Well thank you! We made another person...

Great news Mademoiselle

I feel so sick today what an idiot I was wishing for ms! Its weirdly reassuring though... Retching all day at work, how delightful!

Got the letter through for my 12 week scan today - eeek!

Big hugs to Scoops and Gingy xx

Yey mademoiselle what lovely news :)

Welcome frances don't worry about alcohol, I went on holiday, drank loads and took anti malarial tablets then found out I was pregnant the day after I got home! Again never thought I'd actually get pregnant the first month of trying so thought it would be ok! Gp and midwife have said I should be fine so don't worry, I'm sure lots of people don't realise they are pregnant and do all sorts of things! And yes this's been the longest 3 weeks of my life!

My positivity after the midwife didn't last long, had cramps this afternoon and felt like I'd jinxed myself for daring to going to the mw. I'm going to try and snap out of it and make DH watch the DVD the midwife gave me called 'your journey to parenthood' did anybody else get a DVD from he mw? DH is worried it's going to show a birth, he better get used to it!!

Yay great news MG!

Frances you can still drink tea- up to 200mg caffeine a day which is like 3-4 cups I also read that one glass of wine a week is fine too

Loving this weather! Going to Greece tmw for a friends wedding- let's hope I don't get MS with avengeance on the flight!

Xx

I'm new to this thread and just found out I'm pg... According to dates I'm 4+5 has anyone suffered a bit of back ache and cramps? I think this might not be a good sign :-(

Welcone frances! I drank copious amounts of vino collapso 2 days before bfp lol...we can't all be saints. Had the worst hangover ever and now I know why!

Congrats on scan mademoiselle! Great news x
