So sorry happymummy having been through that I know how awful it is...sending hugs.

Sounds promising highopes happy for you.

My bleeding started again today, only when I wipe but there was a bit of red and now brown, I went to the docs to get a referral to EPU for a scan which is friday, I'll be 6+3 by then, so scared!

Fingers crossed for you jodie - 6+3 you'll hopefully be able to see a heartbeat

I had a scan today following all my bleeding and they saw a sack but it looked at little small for my dates and they couldn't tell me if all was well or not. So I've got to go back in two weeks for another scan to see how things are going. On a positive note bleeding has stopped.

Sorry happymummy

Happymummy so sorry to hear that

I have my fingers crossed for you Dutchy, a bit rubbish you have to wait 2 weeks to get a definite answer though! xx

FlyingSpaghettiM0nster I have no idea how I'm going to get through the next two weeks!

So sorry to hear about all the bleeding, and confusing scans, and more wait...

I am quite sad today.

When I started TTC I thought it was a nice lovely exciting time. Since then it has been stressful, blood test, discussing possible infertility, testing, waiting, tears...
Then the positive test and me thinking wow! Only to realise this is more worry, more tests, more waiting.

We have no idea and no control over what will happen. Again.

I am sad I am so very tired of being worried.

4+5

I have known for 6 days. And it feels like hell

Can any of you experienced ladies answer a booking appt question for me? Are we expected to know details about our family's maternity history?

My mum's an only child, and I know that her mum was told she couldn't have children and should never try (but went ahead anyway)....but I don't know the details. Thing is, I don't want to ask my mum about it because it'll give the game away, and I promised DH we'd wait until the first scan to break the news. My mum had no probs conceiving/while pg, so do I need details about my maternal grandmother?

Thanks for any help!

Dutchy The limbo is the worst bit I think. I had to wait 2 weeks after my first scan for a final answer, with a scan in between as well that was inconclusive. Unfortunately, it was bad news for me but in a way, it was a relief to know for sure, even though it was bad news. You'll be ok though, I'm here if you want to chat about it. xxx

Oh Evergreen - I know how you feel. I can't even remember what used to fill my thoughts every second of the day. It feels like all I'm thinking about is this pregnancy and what could go wrong, what will happen if it does, what will happen if it doesn't!

DH and I had been trying for 14 months and at 36, I'm not the youngest and I know time isn't on my side, but the way I make myself feel better is by believing, absolutely believing, that I will have a baby one day.

Make sure you share your worries, on here and to anyone in real life too. Most of the time what people say won't necessarily help (DH is a bit bumbling when it comes to reassuring me) but it helps me so much just to get my thoughts and fears and worries out of my head for five minutes.

Sending you a big unmumsnetty hug x

evergreen, (()) I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. If it makes you feel any better I felt very similar last time around. Having the scan at 8 weeks really helped me relax a little bit, knowing that the chance of something going wrong at that point was very low. the worries did come back before the next scan, but again seeing things were fine calmed me down again. Being pregnant is scary, there's very little we can actual do or control, but finding out at intermittent points that everything is indeed going well should help.

Jodie hopefully the scan can help explain what's going on, it's a shame you have to wait until Friday but I suppose the further on you are the more hope there is of seeing something definite to reassure you. Hugs.

Sorry to read as well happy mummy

Dutchy sounds like you're still in the game and there's still hope.

I have a hair removal dilemma I'm hoping someone can give an opinion on - I usually use hair removing cream on my top lip, but my Ovia app has an article about hair removal products and advises against using the hair removal creams during pregnancy because of their chemical content. I also found this article - www.madeformums.com/pregnancy/is-it-safe-to-use-hair-removal-creams-in-pregnancy/29306.html - saying the cream is still safe to use for the baby, but my skin might be more sensitive (I have sensitive skin anyway). Any opinions?

6 + 5 today here, with every passing day I get a bit more hopeful I'll get to keep this one.

I'm sorry for your loss happymummy

Evergreen the first few weeks are tortuous enough without all that you have been through. I hope you get to relax once you've seen your bean on screen.

A bit late to the boob discussion but mine haven't ached at all. They did first pg - I guess it was growing pains. 2nd pg no aching. I am still bf and my nipples are sensitive when dc2 feeds. In addition my nips are looking a bit bigger.

I have 24/7 nausea but it's only really awful when I eat breakfast and in the evening. The rest of the time it's just simmering in the background. With dc2 my nausea was much worse at this point that I had to tell my manager, and I went on medication a week later. I feel like its showing the same pattern as dc1.
