Trying to start a new thread before we run out of space, haven't done it before so hopefully it works

[Fourormore]

That's great to hear Vickie. Was it abdominal? I've got one booked for next week when I'll be 7+4 and kind of hoping it's not internal!

[Jem01]

Started bleeding just before lunch so at EPU waiting to get seen. Will usage after.

[allthegoodnamesalreadytaken]

That's great news Vickie really pleased for you fingers crossed this is the beginning of lots of positivity for us all. I have my early scan next Thursday so keeping all my fingers and toes crossed all will be well!

[Vickie360]

Fourormore it's was abdominal to start off once she had confirmed it wasn't ectopic i had an internal it wasn't to bad it's a bit uncomfortable.
So sorry to hear that Jem keeping everything crossed for you x

Jem01 I hope everything is okay? It's so hard to keep up withere everyone on here, by the time I look there's another whole page of comments so please don't think me ignorant if I'm not seeming interested in all of you xx

Hope all is well Jem

[Fourormore]

Hope everything is okay Jem x

Congratulations Vickie! That is lovely news.

Good luck Jem, thinking of you.

Kaytee, I agree it's hard to keep up! Short of posting every hour or so....

Thanks to everyone who's reassured me today. I still have strange pains but they are not getting worse, and on both sides now, so am trying not to worry. Feels like a stitch, different from other cramps I've had so far.

[gnat99]

By the way, to join the burping discussion, I too have been doing this a lot, which is really unusual for me. Yet one more weird symptom we have to suffer!

[Loki17]

Hope you are ok Jem. Really pleased to read your good news, Vickie. I'm struggling today. Crap day at work and all of the usual early pregnancy worries. I was tempted to buy a cbd but I know that is silly - pregnancy tests can't predict the future!

[Jem01]

Sorry meant to type "update after"!

Just had the scan, everything is fine thank God. They said bleeding could have been implantation or because this is around the time I would be expecting my period. We saw the heartbeat and me and OH burst into tears it was just unbelievable. They said if bleeding continued plus got heavier I should head straight back. I've had no more bleeding since lunchtime. It's been such an emotional day, I'm so exhausted and relieved. Thanks ladies for your concern. xx

[Loki17]

Yay! I'm so pleased for you Jem! How far along are you? lovely that you saw the hb

[gnat99]

Wonderful news Jem! Fingers crossed it's onwards and upwards for you. x

Hi everyone, been following the posts all day but not had a chance to post!

jem sorry to hear your bleeding, please keep us posted I will continue to tune in. Hopefully it's just a bit of implantation bleeding.

vicki - nice to hear about your scan, so glad it went well. Was this a private scan? I thought they only offered abdominal scans.

To all the rest of you, I've not had any burping but generally feel a bit yucky. Almost like heartburn but not quite but it's making me feel like I don't want to eat. Then I force myself and feel better but after a bit it's back. Almost like food isn't digesting properly.

I've had a busy day at work but glad to be kept busy. I also keep worrying and then reminding myself that it's not in my control and nothing can predict the future really. I feel a fraud to think of myself as pregnant ! So just trying to pretend I'm not really and my period is just delayed. I think it's to protect myself from being distraught if anything was to go wrong.

Got my booking appt on 8 Dec and scan on 6th jan. I'm thinking of booking a private scan when I'm about 8 weeks so maybe just after booking appt, given the issues I had with bleeding. Nothing since thankfully but I just feel like I need some comfort. Then I wonder if it will ever end, I'll be just as worried after the scan. So is there really any point?? Don't think DH is keen but not spoken about it properly. Really not sure yet. It's DH birthday 4 December too. Ideally don't want to waste any money and save up as much as possible now for maternity as well.

I wear shirts to work and they were quite fitted before but feel even tighter. I don't know if it's because I am slouching more since I am tired.

Not doing any exercise, barely managing 5k steps a day. Just getting in from work and then lying on my bed all evening. Lack of energy for sure!

[redstrawberries101]

Fantastic Jem!!!! Really pleased for you!!

[Loki17]

Mel I had a reassurance scan with dd and I'm having one with this one. imo they are worth it. The feeling you get when you see your baby lasts a little while before you worry again. My scan will be £40 and I know someone else has one for £35. If you shop around and van travel you might find you can get one quite reasonably.

[Loki17]

I obviously meant you can get one for a reasonable price. I'm not sure quite reasonably makes sense

[redstrawberries101]

Lol thanks Loki. The cheapest I've seen so far in Edinburgh is £50 but actually I would be happy travelling to Glasgow too so should check there X

[Jem01]

Thanks everyone. Apart from my OH have no one else to chat to about these things. It's lovely knowing you're all here to "chat" to!

Loki I thought I was 7+4 but I'm 7+5. Nurse said they can be more accurate with dates because I did IVF so they know exactly when the implantation date was.

[Stom91]

I can't keep up with you all! Do I'm 8 weeks this week and haven't been booked in or anything yet and I'm feeling really anxious for some reason. I usually feel horrendously sick but yesterday and today u felt fine so nice I'm getting all worried.

I feel like there's going to be nothing there and it's all in my head.
I really want a scan :(

[Stom91]

Sorry it doesn't make sense. I swear my phone changes words after I've hit send!

[Vickie360]

Mel it was an NHS 1 as I've had an ep before so it made it higher risk this time and it needed to be checked in case it was and it ruptured again

[Kaytee1987]

Brilliant newa jem. Omg I've paid £100 for my scan that I will be getting the week leading up to Christmas. Annoyed now

[Loki17]

I'm a week behind you then Jem! As much as I don't want to wish time away I really wish I could fast forwards over the scary bit.

[Gx91]

Something fun for u guys to google ,

Iv used the Chinese baby calendar with all babies I know to work out what gender they will b and it's been right every time ! I'm hoping to beat the calendar this time as it says I will have another girl ! Not that I'm bothered what I have but would b nice for it to be wrong this time lol X x
Think it's called Chinese baby calendar predictor lol x
