Good evening, hope it’s okay to join (I see some familiar names). I wasn’t going to join yet but decided to put my big girl pants on and get on with it. I had 2 mc this year at 6 weeks- currently 8 weeks pregnant now. Still not feeling positive but feeling extremely queasy, sick and exhausted so hoping it’s a good sign. I have a little girl who is 17 months (a December baby), and it was 3rd time lucky with her so hopefully it’s the same with this one too. I haven’t booked in to see the midwife yet, got the guts today and the doctors was closed 🤦🏼‍♀️
So that’s me, hi all.

Hi @Primrose16 good to see you on this thread too. I think quite a few of us are on the same ones x

Hi @MagicalCreatures. I wanted to join as I love my December 16 babies group, but I was just scared to tempt fate x

Yay for the scans @Paranormalbouquet and @Maggi85
Love hearing good news.
I'm debating getting a private scan at 10weeks. Had one at 6 weeks (emergency Epu) and one at 8 weeks (check up at Epu) Baby is now well on track. But I dunno if I can wait like a normal person until 12 weeks. 6th June seems SOOOOO far away. My booking appointment is tomorrow. That's one step closer!

@Primrose16 Hi 👋🏼 so pleased you joined!! And defo well done for heading to Drs for booking. I didn't call til I was 7weeks. But defo needed. You'll feel so much better with each little step!

Welcome Primrose!

Found out my 12 week scan is 1st June :D

December2018 · 16/05/2018 20:27

Hey primrose 😘
My 12 week scan is also 1st June 😊😊

Happysbno4 · 16/05/2018 22:07

Worry causing stress with OH. I don't think I have been that bad but when I mentioned I hope all is well in their yesterday he completely lost it. Saying that if it is wrong its my wishing it so. Sad
The stress and worry of growing our baby is all on me.
He's great a wonderful and positive. Its Just The waiting to know is driving me mad. I'm 8 + 04 feel very well. No sickness just tired hungry and bloated. Help am I wrong or is he?

balalalala · 17/05/2018 06:15

I've caught a sickness bug or maybe food poisoning. Feeling horrendous today Sad

Cakelaur · 17/05/2018 08:02

Ooh my 12 week scan is 6th June!! But think I'm gonna book a 10weeks scan for next week. Eek!!

Cakelaur · 17/05/2018 08:06

@Happysbno4 I was like this until 8+4 when we had a scan. We lost our first pregnancy in Jan. It was a missed miscarriage so I don't trust my body. I refused to admit I was pregnant (obviously stopped alcohol etc) and wouldn't talk about it or plan or anything. We had a scan at 6 weeks and a scan at 8+4 and only now that I'm chucking my guts up every day am I starting to think it's real. Have you considered a private scan? They quite often have them on groupon or wowcher. My OH was really positive and optimistic. I was preparing for the worst because the first loss broke me and it definitely tested our relationship. I became destructive and Depressed and was trying to prepare myself for the worst so I wasn't shocked. Luckily I was pleasantly surprised with a little wriggler and a lovely heartbeat.

Nausea seems to have transformed into dizzy spells here. Anyone else?! Got my badge for tube, just need to remember to take it off for work!

ND348 · 17/05/2018 18:48

Hi ladies can I join? I'm 11+1 according to LMP but an early scan dated me a tad earlier so hoping my 12 week scan next week will give me better dates. First pregnancy so just trying to take it all in and not over worry!

marthvader · 17/05/2018 19:10

Hello everyone, would love to join! I am currently 8+3 into my first pregnancy... very excited but also so anxious! If I wake up not feeling as sick as I did yesterday or my boobs hurt less I get so worried that something has gone wrong. I had my booking appointment yesterday and wondering whether to book in for an early scan whilst I wait for the date of the 12 week scan to come in. EDD is Xmas day!Smile

Lilly1207 · 17/05/2018 20:25

@marthvader you're a day behind me, I'm due xmas eve 🎅🏼 how exciting! Xx

Happy32 · 18/05/2018 09:51

Hey ladies, I'm anxious today. Been bleeding like before the heavy flow comes when your period first starts. I'm definitely anxious now. Anyone got any ideas?

Gemsie1984 · 18/05/2018 10:10

@Happy32 how far along are you? Can you get to EPU? I'd get it checked if you can. Fingers crossed it stops soon.

Paranormalbouquet · 18/05/2018 10:12

@Happy32 I would call your GP/EPU to see about getting a scan. I’ve had bleeding on and off since 5 weeks and it seems to be a subchorionic haematoma causing it. So it’s not always bad news. But no way to know without scan.

Happy32 · 18/05/2018 10:21

Thanks ladies. 10 weeks tomorrow. Had a private scan last week and it all looked really well. Strong heart beat, good size etc. I will give midwife a phone.

Gemsie1984 · 18/05/2018 10:26

I've just had my 12 week scan date through.. 29th May, I will be 11+6. Eek.. it's getting a bit real now!

Stephisaur · 18/05/2018 11:20

@Happy32 how far along are you?

I was told that between 6-17 weeks I should go to A&E at my birthing hospital to get looked at.

Hope everything is ok

December2018 · 18/05/2018 11:22

Hi happy I hope everything is ok babe 😘 xxx

Happy32 · 18/05/2018 12:30

10 weeks tomorrow. I have to go for a scan on Monday. Gp phoned back really quickly an said not to worry too much as i had a good scan last week but if it's getting heavier or clots then to come in sooner (must mean a+e?) Thanks for all your replies!

MrsTeaPlease · 18/05/2018 13:27

Hope everything is ok for you @happy32 and it doesn't get any heavier.
We have a private scan tomorrow morning, not sure on dates still but will be between 10 and 11 weeks I think. Also have my 12 week his scan on the 31st. Feeling quite nervous and think I will feel shocked to see there is actually something in there, even though I have felt rough as anything! What can u expect to see at 10 - 11 weeks on a scan? Baby shaped or more of a bean shape still. With my son I didn't have my first scan until 13 weeks and he looked very baby like but I know it changes so much in these weeks.xx

MrsTeaPlease · 18/05/2018 13:28

*nhs not his!

Skittlelover · 18/05/2018 13:47

Hi everyone, hope scans are all well and I'm sorry to hear those with bad news.
Having a rough day today. Feel so sick and exhausted. My poor 15 month old is just wanting to play and I have no energy. Feel like such a crap mum today. Also anxiety really hitting, waiting for my scan on Tues. Not sure I can keep going through early pregnancy Sad. X
