Eek! On thread 2 already...welcome over everyone!

Fingers crossed for you @kneesupgaston I was just reading about bleeding in early pregnancy funnily enough online (I was exploring Bounty) and apparently 1 in 4 will experience bleeding in early pregnancy and continue to have healthy pregnancies. Monitor it as the ladies above say and see someone as soon as you can. Hold tight. 🤞🏻

KneesupGaston I really hope this is just a false alarm and doesn’t continue. Hugs I hope you can get an appt at the epu tomorrow

@kneesupgaston we’re keeping everything crossed for you, take care of yourself lovely xx

@SuperSharpShooter82 I've also got a scan tomorrow morning, you're not going to Window to the Womb in Walthamstow by any chance are you?!

@KneesupGaston fingers crossed it's just a scare and nothing serious

KneesupGaston really sorry to hear what your experiencing but like the others have said . All fingers crossed for tomorrow and try not to panic (easier said than done) .

I've just finished a 12 hr shift and back again at 7am. Done lots of hours this week and really do need some rest. The mental exhaustion of finding out your pregnant is enough to make me sleep for a week . I've not felt as nauseous today which is good.

I've seen a lot of people have booked private scans for early scans. I just said to my partner I feel left out so think we are going to book one 😁
Xx

OMG @mostimproved yes!!!!!! Where do you live? I know someone else lived in Woodford but I can't remember who?!

Haha @SuperSharpShooter82 I live in Stoke Newington, and I remembered you said you're in east London so thought you might be going to the same place, how weird is that?! Well I'm in there at 10am but will try to refrain from staring at everyone to see if they give me some kind of mumsnet sign!

Oh I love Stokey @mostimproved - my cousin and his wife live there... the Thai food served in the pub on the high street is really good - convinced my DH to start eating Thai!

Hahahaha @mostimproved! Sadly I won't be able to give you a sign as I'm not in until 11 so I think you'll be gone! Otherwise I could have started speaking in MN terminology and started talking about classic threads!

@RachaelT there are lots of good pubs in Stokey - we are planning to move out of London and that's one of the things I'm going to miss as I feel like they just aren't the same anywhere else!

@SuperSharpShooter82 we could have really confused our DHs couldn't we! Good luck with your scan anyway

You too @mostimproved! 🤞🏻

@KneesupGaston I'm so sorry. I hope you can get some answers at EPU tomorrow.

@KneesupGaston fingers crossed for you.

Is anyone else drooling? Every time I wake up from a nap or proper sleep i've a pool on my chin and it's a bit gross 🤭

That’s not one I’ve had as yet @Rachael, what a delight!

Good luck to all those getting scans today - let us know how you get on. According to Ovia at 7 weeks I now have myself a little raspberry!

It is delightful, hubby has noticed I've dribbled too 😬

I have 3 apps - 2 say blueberry and Ovia says raspberry, it's a bit confusing!

LOL @RachaelT Not something I’ve exorrienced either, however, I’m not as far as long as you, so who knows what might happen 🤷🏼‍♀️😄

DH came home drunk last night and said his friends ‘guessed’ I’m pregnant. To which I said ‘how could they possibly guess that, when I haven’t seen them in ages and I’m not even far along enough to show’.

He said it was because they asked him if he ever wants children (they all started way before us) and they could tell from his response.

I wouldn’t consider these friends as our close network so majorly pi$$!d off. Haven’t even told my very best friend. Was so happy in my own little world of just us and seed, and now worried everyone’s going to find out before we’ve even told key people which I didn’t want to do until we got to the scan. His mum lost her mother and brother last year so I only want to tell her any good news.

Wtf do I do now?! Other than strangle him!

It’s still such early days and I now feel even more so under pressure. 😔

@ErikaSt how far gone are you?

It is hard when people quiz you but at the same time that's not fair on you.

I'm sure your mother in law would understand that it's still early days if you was to tell her. She's been there too...

We wasn't going to tell anyone but have told close family this weekend.
It is then pressure more people knowing and if the worse does happen not just you being upset and let down but at the same time I'd like them to be our support no matter what.

I hope you're ok xx

So I had my scan this morning and saw the heartbeat! They said everything was good so I am relieved, but baby was measuring a week behind which I'm trying not to worry about. I'm surprised as I'm pretty sure of my dates, but the sonographer did say at this stage it's not totally accurate as the baby is still so small. I got a picture but it just looks like a blob!

Here is the picture - I am 7+2 by LMP but they said it was measuring 6+2.

@Baby160P I’m only 5 weeks. I’m ok thank you. Just annoyed. He’s awake now and denying it. He’s hungover too so may play some really really loud music...mwahaha! I can see the benefits of both sides. My bestie is coming to stay next weekend so I’ll tell her. She’s practically a sister to me, so can’t imagine keeping it a secret from her.

@mostimproved How amazing! Can’t wait to hear the heartbeat. I’d keep staring at that picture all day long 😍 so happy for you.

Congrats @mostimproved! I got the same, scan at 6+2 but measuring more like 5+4, but the sonographer at the hospital wasn't concerned so I'm trying not to be either! Think the heartbeat is the main thing and that was nice and strong, very obvious!

@ErikaSt how annoying, I would be pissed off too! I guess it's done now though so all you can is make the best of it and make sure he's aware you don't feel that's OK so not to do it again. My dh wants to tell my dss but he's only 11 and I really don't want to have to explain mc if it goes wrong.

@Murphyrocks I would feel the same. I think there’s a lot already to deal with without having to explain it to others too. I’m looking forward to sharing the news when the time is right, but first I want to make sure it’s all OK.

I’m jealous of all these scans. I haven’t even made it to a doctors appointment yet! Can’t wait for my turn. 😃

@ErikaSt I'd be livid too. Can you at least get him to message them today and tell them it's very early and not to tell anyone else?

@murphyrocks my friends with 2 or more say to leave it as late as possible to tell siblings. Not least because kids are rubbish at keeping secrets!

@Kneesupgaston I have my fingers crossed the EPU can give you some reassurance today.

Hope everyone is okay. Low light of my day so far was gagging in the queue at Sainsburys. Gak.
