Due-in Due-ly - July thread 2, where the beans turn into beansprouts

[WantToGoingTo]

Hello all had a go at a very naff name! Hop across!

sdyer fingers tightly crossed for you, a heartbeat is always a good sign, so lets defo look at the positives.
Sending lots of hugs xxxxx

FX for you sdyer. I would push for another scan in 2 weeks for reassurance. No point living in panic until 12 wks.

FX sdyer

It's all just so stressful isn't it?

It is a worrying time but I really am hoping for the best x

Tentatively joining as 5 weeks along with a bubba due July. I had a miscarriage end of September at 6 weeks which is why I am tentative although this time my boobs are mega sore which is a better sign.

Slightlyconfused85 age 28 baby #2 edd 21st July

MrsC I am Brighton but had DD at Worthing in West Sussex and plan the same for this one all being well.

slightly congratulations! I'm same as you, had mc end of sept at 7 weeks. This one feels stronger and I'm 5.5 weeks. Fx for sticky beans

Thinking of you syder

Oh glad to see a few fellow West Sussex peeps. Being new to this pg malarkey hadn't even really thought about hospitals, only thought is trying not to throw up at work/coming up with excuses when I do! Think the nearest would be Haywards Heath but when do you find out more/ choose? Is it the first booking appt?

syder - could you go for a private scan if NHS won't give you another in couple of weeks? My heart goes out to you, must be stressful.
Just to be self indulgent I'm a bit blue today too. Is like lots of my symptoms are on the wane today. I just can't cope with thought of another MMC. We've a scan on Sat when I should be eight weeks. Am so scared I almost don't want to go. Actually have butterflies just thinking about it. Sorry for being an old misery guts!

sdyer thinking of you, fingers crossed it will all be fine. Hope you are ok.

slightly snap! I am also 28, expecting #2, with edd 22nd July!

Feeling a bit more sickly today, and cramps, so feeling a bit more positive today. was not googling miscarriage earlier

Struggling in work today though, had next to no sleep worrying about what to tell my DM and DSis, they still think I had an appt with a fertility clinic yesterday to discuss next steps, and will be expecting an update of what happened! Can't decide whether to tell them I cancelled at the last minute to wait until after Xmas, or tell a lie about what happened at the mythical appt......don't like the thought of lying but I don't want to tell them just yet that I am pg, DH and I want to do a funny, novel announcement in a few weeks! What to do!?

Squirrel It seems as though we all have symptoms that come and go, doesn't stop us stressing about it though does it! Fingers crossed for you for Saturday, I'm sure everything will be ok. Try and take some deep breaths and try and focus on something else for a bit today?

MrsC you can discuss it with the midwife at your booking appointment. They tend to suggest your nearest hospital so if that's HH then that's probably what they'll suggest. I looked round it and it was nice - have a few friends who have had good experiences there too. People often get sent from Brighton to HH if it's too busy.

I have some friends with not great experiences of Brighton (good docs and midwives but just so stretched for resources, and the only place I've ever heard of to make a mess of a Csection). I had DD at Worthing, and would really like another there so I hope they will let me. If not will also opt for HH.

Leela5 hi! I remember you from the miscarriage boards, so pleased to see you here and fingers crossed for sticky one for you too.

Welcome to all the newbies and stay positive sdyer.

I've had a bit of potentially exciting news, before I was pg I went to the doctors due to some pain under my ribs. She didn't think it was anything serious but promised to refer me to the hospital just in case. The pain is intermittent and with all the excitement/worry of pregnancy I'd almost forgotten about it. Anyway a letter came from the hospital this morning for an abdominal ultrasound scan when I'll be 8+4! I wonder if I ask really nicely they might have a little look low down too - what do you think?? Hadn't been planning on paying for a private scan due to ££ but wouldn't say no to a free little peek!

slightly yes! I believe you were very kind to me thank you!

At first mw appointment you'll discuss hospitals - if you're haywards Heath princess royal would be nearest. They are meant to be nice, but I was warned that if they get full they close and you get sent then to East Surrey or Brighton. I'm going with East Surrey because it's closer by 2 mins and they were brilliant during mc.

It's personal choice which one you go for. Check whether you have to pick up pg pack before mw appointment, mine had the hospital choices in it so I could look into them beforehand.

oooo not i reckon if you ask nicely they might check ;)

Is it just me that is incredibly moody and wanting to pick a fight with DP over any smallest, tiniest little thing??

Thanks Ginger. I know you're right. I get myself in a right tizzy sometimes. I booked a hair appointment and beautician for after work. Brown roots and out of control eyebrows are not helping my mood! As hubby says, there's no point in fretting as there's nothing we can do!

Oh and overtired I'm exactly the same! In fact I've made apologies in advance to husband for being so irrational! Making him his fav dinner to thank him for his patience.

Squirrel I just cannot seem to stop myself! I know I'm being irrational but I can't stop! I've said sorry so many times in the last three weeks, but I feel like I'm looking for stuff that isn't even there

Hello! I'm cautiously joining this group and hoping for the best! I had a positive pregnancy test a few days ago, but had pains on one side of my tummy so I was sent off to the Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit. I am waiting for a second blood test, then maybe another few and a scan, to hopefully find a very little baby and rule out the chance of an ectopic. It's a bit nervewracking but I'm still thinking of myself as pregnant for now - and starting to feel cautiously excited!

Over I'm the same, I'm so tired but worrying about another MC and so not sleeping - makes me so grumpy. I'm about one step away from actual anxiety. I also never drink during the 2ww - maybe that's excessive bit since I'm such a worrier - then this time about 10dpo I had horrendous pmt and had two small glasses of wine with dinner BFP 3 days later. I'm now so worried I've caused some damage its keeping me up at night!

And welcome Lizzie fingers crossed for blood test results.

want, I think it's very considerate of you to think of your cousin in your own excitement - I wish my friends had been so thoughtful I would second the heads up before the big announcement, either text, email or phone call. I preferred written because talking face to face or on the phone was far more difficult to react to. She will undoubtedly be happy for you but yes, getting towards Xmas and nye will be incredibly difficult for her. I'd just be very factual and not fluffy or over the top nice/compensating iykwim - she just wants short, sharp facts and kindness xx

Agreed broody I preferred to deal with the news in my own time. I remember you from the mc thread earlier this year nice to see that we've both had some better news
