July 2018 Babies

[HarryPotterandtheSAHM]

I thought I’d start this thread now as I can’t see one yet! I got my bfp this weekend on a digital and estimate my due date to be 1st of July, but I have long cycles so I’m anticipating it changing at a dating scan. Anyone else with me for end of June or beginning of July 2018?

So so sorry @Penneyforthem for what you're going through and also for the extremely thoughtless response you got from your GP surgery on Friday x

Thank you Heregoes x

So sorry @penney. It's a really rough thing to go through, take good care of yourself and remember however you're feeling,it's ok to feel that. There are no rights or wrongs.

Update from me - I'm just out of hospital after being admitted yesterday. I fainted and the paramedics wanted to take me in. Diagnosed with hyperemesis and had a drip to rehydrate and lots of anti sickness meds. Hopefully things will improve a bit now but I'm feeling pretty rough and sorry for myself!

@daffodil196 oh no! I hope it wasn't too scary for you and that you feel better soon. I'm losing track a bit about who's at what stage... How many weeks are you?

@snufkin84 where in Edinburgh are you? Have you joined the FB group?

@Littlebirdblues thank you for the reassurance! It happened again in a meeting I was holding this morning, and I had to just carry on talking. Absolute agony.

@Daffodil196 so sorry to hear about that - really hope the meds will work for you.

I had a nightmare on the train home tonight. Left work on time because I've been feeling naff and exhausted all day again. Somehow managed to find a seat and dozed off. A man got on the train a few stops later and essentially threw his bag at me. He was obviously hammered, and was trying to put it on the luggage rack (very unsuccessfully). I managed to convince him that this was obviously a bad idea, and he sat down next to me (although thankfully deposited his bag on the seat between us). Ten minutes later, he vomited all down his front. I had to spend the rest of the journey starting steadfastly out of the window and swallowing the bile I brought up myself. I bloody hate commuting

@karategirl That sounds horrific. Was there nowhere else for you to sit? I am amazed you managed to not throw up all over him in return!

I have finally managed to get through to antenatal and booked my 12 week scan for the 19th January. Will I be the last of us to have her scan? I will be 13+4 or +5 by then.

I know some people discussed this up thread - is anybody planning to have a private scan before Christmas? I must say I'm considering it (though it's £80 which is unfortunate...). I just don't know if I can wait until almost 14 weeks - especially with Christmas in the mix where I'd like to share the news with my family. So a bit of reassurance would be nice.

Or shall I just be patient and serene, wait it out till the second half of January?

I had to rush to the epu last night with what they thought was an ectopic, they let me go in the end and i had to go back today for a scan this morning. They had to do an internal which I've had before and they are fine 👍 They found the baby (not plural thank god! haha) in the right place with a little heartbeating away :) I can't even say how relived i am!
I have my private on the 22nd December so I'm hoping that will help my nerves for a while. I'm just dreading another mmc! But for now all is well and I'm happy! I have to take each day as it comes i guess. My sickness is full on and the mw said that's a great sign. 7 weeks tomorrow.

penney i am so sorry to hear that :( xx

daffodil oh dear :( I can sympathise, i have suffered hg twice already.. not sure if i will this time but I'm very sick so only time will tell. Once you have HG you only have about a 14% chance of not developing it in subsequent pregnancies and I'm not that lucky!
Who do i message about the fb group? Xx

bluee Amazing news! You must have been so worried last night. Hope you can relax a bit now...

Great news @BlueeSpotty !

I know there have been a few contenders, but may I respectfully nominate myself in the category "Worst Performance on a Train"? I projectile vomited all over the carriage on the way to an important work meeting this morning...

@LittleBirdBlues That is a long time to wait! I am having a private scan on Thursday, I will be 8+1. Mainly because I'm impatient and also come from a family of twins, (I am a twin myself) and want to make sure there's only one baby in there!

@doubleespresso22 Oh that's exciting! Are you hoping for more than one baby?

If you don't mind me asking, do you expect the scan on Thursday to be external or internal? I'm asking because I just spoke to a private scan clinic and they said that if I have a scan at 9 weeks it might be an internal one.

I can't imagine waiting until 18th January! So I am looking into private scans the week before Christmas.

@LittleBirdBlues Definitely hoping for just the one, just feeling very paranoid that it's two!

I was told the same as you, might be internal or external. I guess they don't really know until the day. I think I read somewhere the slimmer you are, the more likely they can do it externally. Either way, think I'm going to put my best knickers on just in case!

little it depends! In my last pregnancy i had an abdominal one done at 6+3 but an internal at 8+5??? Which seems the wrong way round doesn't it lol.
Be prepared for either (in my case make sure you've shaved your foof 🙈) I don't know if you've had one but Internals aren't bad atall xx

bluee aren't there any risks associated with internal scans? Or did I dream that? I'm sure they wouldn't do them if there was a risk so...

The last thing I want to od right now is shave nausea has officially started for me too now.

My booking appointment isn't until 10 weeks (2 weeks before Christmas) so I'm anticipating a January scan also but definitely couldn't wait that long so having Harmony test and viability scan at 10 weeks. The website for the place I'm going to has two "example" viability scans, one with a viable foetus, one an empty womb...

Bluee that's so scary! so glad to hear you're ok though.

Just to update you all I POAS this morning and it was still a strong positive this morning which is worrying after the amount of blood i've lost so I rang the doctors surgery who have now referrered me to the EPU for an app. 12:10 tomorrow just to see what's happening. FX it's all normal and we can start trying again when we are ready. I just wanted to thank you all for your kind words and advice. This really is such a fab place for support. Wishing you all healthy & happy pregnancies xx

@daffodil196 So sorry to hear about your HG, hope the meds help!

@karategirl- that train ride sounds terrible! I had a guy asking for money on the train the other day and he smelt so strongly of urine that I couldn't stop gagging. I felt dreadful! 😳

@LittleBirdBlues- I would defi get a private scan but I'm impatient! That said I was able to wait with my first until 12+3 but this one I have a 9 week scan on Sun.
There are no risks with internal scans. I have had two already at 4+6 and 5+1. They're really not bad. I wouldn't worry about your knickers as you take them off and put a sheet over you behind a screen. I also wouldn't worry about shaving! They use an instrument and insert it under the sheet. No exposing yourself!!

@Bluee- that's so scary! So glad everything is ok! Why did they think it was ectopic?

@heregoes- oh no!!! Hope you feel better!

@Penney- hope scan tomorrow goes well. How confusing!!

I went for my bloods yesterday and they said i should have got my appt letter for scan so I checked with the antenatal clinic and they told me they didn't have my referral!! Although I spoke to someone on the phone 2 weeks ago who confirmed they had it and was invited to get bloods done!? She was so unhelpful but basically said someone must have deleted me by accident! So now I have to go in again on Friday to register with midwives who will then refer me for a scan. So I'm pretty doubtful I'll get a scan before Christmas now even though I'll be 12+2 and I've told them I'm away until the New Year after Christmas. Feeling pretty gutted!

little there is no risks and they only insert it an inch or 2.. i did have a 'omfg thats huge' moment the first time i saw the probe lol, They put a condom and lube on it too!

elephant because i was getting sharp pains in my left pelvic area and i had some pink when wiping the other day. Which she thinks was the baby implanting further into my uterus!?. How annoying that you was deleted!!! I would be annoyed 😣. I won't have my 12 week scan until the 1st or second week of Jan, That's why I'm glad we've booked a private scan for the 22nd! Can you do similar? Xx

Hi all,
Struggling here, to be honest. I've not been sick for a few days and the nausea has been a little better with the meds but worse again tonight and I am absolutely shattered and still very shaky and weak. Have asked my mum to come and help for a few days as I can't cope with my daughter on my own and DH has to go back to work tomorrow.

Am so grateful I don't have a commute, you ladies coping on trains have my utmost respect, it sounds hideous!

Hi all I have joined the other threads but this is my first pregnancy
Found out Friday I was 5 weeks,

Due date 27th July 2018
Came off pill in February but cant really say we were 'trying'

Happy but news is still very much shock!

Booking appointment next Friday!

Other than other half no one else knows but I have a best friends boozey afternoon tea next Saturday and then works do which includes a hotel stay over .... I don't like lying and the stress of making excuses is effecting me :( I know my best friends will be super suspicious so not sure whether to tell them and I would love their support. Only issue is one person I would love to tell has been trying for 2 years plus and is about to start second round of IVF ...I know she will be happy for me but I don't want to upset her too?

CONGRATULATIONS to you all!!!xx

@Bluee, I have booked a private scan this weekend. I'll be 9 weeks. It's just to check everything is ok and see heartbeat! I'll see midwife tomorrow and hopefully convince her to squeeze me in before Christmas for the 12 week too! 🤞🤞

@daffodil hope you feel better soon and get some rest!

@Lucy congrats! It's up to you but I told my best friend early. One it was super obvious when I said no to prosecco, and two you'll want their support if things go bad. It a tough when a friend has been trying for ages.i had a similar issue with my first but she was still happy for me just as I was when it took ages to fall pregnant this time and my friends were all pregnant around me. Good luck whatever you decide.

So sorry to hear your news @Penney - hope your scan yesterday provided some answers and that you're being well looked after. Sending you hope and strength xx

@NimbleKnitter - are you in Edinburgh too? How do I join the facebook group?

@daffodil196 - full of admiration for you and anyone else battling early pregnancy symptoms while looking after other DC! Hope having your mum over gives you a chance to rest up and recover.

@LucyDolly - welcome and congrats! About telling your friend who has been struggling to conceive - I'm sure she will be pleased for you but at the same time I think you're right she may also be upset. I wonder if it'd be best to let her know by text/email rather than face-to-face so she can react however she needs in private? There's a good thread on this here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1954383-How-to-tell-THREE-very-good-friends-all-struggling-to-conceive-that-Im-pregnant

Thinking of you Penney.
Daffodil and HereGoes so sorry to hear you're both so poorly!
Bluee such lovely news about your scan. I'm so pleased for you.
Lucy welcome! If you want to tell your friends do, hopefully they will be supportive. I'm sorry your friend has been struggling TTC, that must be very difficult for her - I know when my friend was going through the same she said to me that she could deal with people telling her their news but preferred it to be done over text or something so she could react in private and then come to terms with it before she saw them, if that makes sense? Just a thought.

I hope no one minds if I have a little rant. Feeling very stressed and fed up

I'm now 9 weeks pregnant and have been having brown/pink/sometimes light red spotting for two weeks. I have had scans at the EPU in that time and thankfully the baby has been shown to be doing really well - heartbeat, measuring well for dates etc. I am so grateful. But I have been given two possible reasons for the bleeding (cervical erosion and now a subchorionic hematoma/blood clot in the womb), it's still going on and getting heavier. Even though I know rationally it is hopefully okay I can't help but feel stressed constantly about whether this is the day I will start bleeding in earnest and miscarry. Every toilet visit is a source of stress. I have terrible constipation and nothing is helping; every time I have a BM I bleed more and I just feel so drained and stressed. I haven't been given any advice by the doctors but googling it most people with these hematomas are told to rest and take it very easy so I'm worried I'm doing the wrong thing all the time.

I just want to get through to my 12 week scan. I'm terrified all the time and I'm so drained and exhausted.

sorry, just needed to vent.
