April 2019 Babies

[LulaRose]

Hello everyone! I thought I'd start a thread for babies due in April 2019 as I couldn't see an existing post for it.

I'm 29
I have a DS who is 12 months
Due 3 April with DC2

I'm only 3+2 so extremely early! I can't quite believe it but I got a line on a test at 8dpo, and the line is getting darker. I'm very excited, but also very nervous.

Morning ladies!
Awake for ages here too. I'm feeling a little more positive because my test line was still darkening. Not as much as I'd hope but it's hard to tell because it's dark anyway.

I've been feeling sick this morning too. We shall see!

Footymum81 after I miscarried I'd have preferred to find that out by text so I could process it a bit rather than having to react happily right away.

Creeping on this thread...
BFP (very faint) last Saturday when AF was 2 days late. Now confirmed with FRER weds. So my EDD would be 4th April going on dates of last AF.
Age 37
DC1 now 2.5 years
Anyone else have symptoms yet? I still testing as can't quite believe it still... lines are clearly visible but still faint. Feeling nervous 😬
(Ps. I had sore boobs which are now not sore at all...)

Morning all! Hope everyone's ok 😊

Symptoms wise I appear to have a collection of mouth ulcers which aren't pleasant!! It's the hormones that are really running rife with me. The other night I spent half an hour crying after going out to watch mama Mia 2 then yesterday I had to restrain myself with colleagues and not throttle them!! Luckily though new bras have arrived so I no longer feel like my bust is about to explode 😂😂

@Footymum81 we're in the same boat with my youngest brother as he and his wife have been trying for 7 years and just keep suffering miscarriages, it's heartbreaking. It's taken us a year to get to this point and they knew we were trying but still very nervous about telling them. My plan is to tell my brother one on one and then him tell his wife and them to have some time to themselves to digest it. I know they'll be happy but it's a bittersweet moment that I don't want to take away from their grief either. So hard 😔

Oh hi again Treaclepie!

Hi kisses4u
My sore boobs have gone too. I put it down to the bleeding but perhaps not.

Treacle, my line is getting darker too which I find upsetting rather than reassuring. I had some bad pain last night, needed paracetamol and a hot water bottle, but still no bleeding. I feel tied to the house as I don’t want it to happen while I’m out with the dc, but at the same time these four walls are driving me crazy.

awkward
I've been going out as normal with a pad on and hoping for the best.
This is my tests now that they've dried. The top one was Tuesday and bottom today. the bottom doesn't actually look any darker in this pic.
I just want to know what's going on.

I cried at the Real Housewives of New York yesterday (guilty pleasure!)

Have been TTC for the last 5 years, resulting in DS and 3 miscarriages to date plus this one, and my experience is that a well worded message is best; you don't have to paste a happy smile on your face immediately, can process it on your own and reply. That's not to say they won't be genuinely thrilled for you (I have been for all my friends!), just sad for themselves.

@Traclepie19 I don’t think they get any darker than that?.. they only have so much dye. Would the GP do reapeat bloods for you to measure if Hcg is going up or down? Really hoping it all works out well. You too @AwkwardsAsAllGetout

I’m in a similar position @Footymum81 and @Fluffy475 and unfortunately didn’t handle it very well....

Bit of background- my brother in law (DH older only brother) and his girlfriend have been together over 10 years. They’re in their mid 30s we’re 27/31.

They were pretty nasty to us when we got engaged and when DH spoke to his mum and Dad about it they said that basically we’d pipped them to the post and that’s why they were annoyed at us 🙄 (if you have 10 years to propose and don’t get around to it I really don’t see how you can complain but hey that’s just me) I also think that the fact that my DH hadn’t spoken to his brother about the fact he was thinking of popping the question caused a bit of distance. They were off with us the whole time despite being best man/bridesmaid.

Anyway, we’ve been married for nearly a year (they’re still not engaged) and ttc for a couple of months. Got very lucky and got our BFP last Wednesday. I wanted to tell all close family- DHs mum and dad, brother and GF and and my mum. These are people we’d go to for support if the worst happened.

When my husband called to tell his brother the news he (the brother) basically had a panic attack on the phone, crying etc. It was awful for DH. Apparently they’ve been trying for some time and the latest disappointment was only a few days ago.

Calling definitely wasn’t the right thing to do but we didn’t know they’ve been struggling. I’m being totally unreasonable as I’d be the same in their position but I’m so disappointed that this can’t just be a happy time for us all.. I’m going to have to be careful at family gatherings etc not to cause further upset 😢 ugh!

Any advice greatfully recieved as we’ve got another close couple who we know are struggling and we haven’t told them yet.

Sorry for the essay!

@Newbie2703 Eek I've just booked in for my early scan too - 25th August so will be 7+5. Gone with the Fetal Medicine Centre which everyone seems to recommend!

My symptoms have been really different this time! With my DD whose 2 all I had was tiredness and sore boobs, 2nd time which I lost was just weird feeling boobs, and this time I've felt sick, had indegestion and just felt really uncomfortable

@organised5 I'm so nervous but I've booked mine for 9 weeks instead I thought I'd wait an extra few weeks and might see more :) not having any test or anything at tgis one thoigh its quite basic none of the good ones ive heard of are anywhere near me :(

Hi congratulations eveyone! So lovely seeing so many women due about the same time, great for advice and a wee chat. Due dad approx 6thApril with our 2nd. Have been very lucky so far, no sickness yet! Finding it hard to sleep though, any advice anyone? Waking up about 12/2 and so restless 😪😪.

Also advice when exercising? I want to Keep running (light runs, not too far)

Xx

@Beekeeping the GP doesn't seem to want to do anything. I'm going to go back Monday and ask. They don't seem to realise I can't carry on like this for however long it takes to either miscarry or have a dating scan.
I rang the EPU and they definitely won't do anything without a referral so yeah... back on Monday. The EPU said they would scan at 6 weeks or do bloods before that if I was referred.

It’s such a long wait isn’t it treacle. I had the midwife call this morning to offer me a cancellation for this afternoon to book me in. J explained what’s happening and she’s already sent me an appointment for next Friday, when hopefully I’ll have been scanned or at least know more about what is happening.

I just feel like nobody actually gives a crap.
I know they can't make it better but they could give me an idea of what's going on.

I'm glad she's been helpful at least! Fingers crossed for you.

Having the same worries as you Treacle, my lines are the same today as a few days ago! I still have one FRER which I'm saving for a really anxious day 🙈
Hope we can relax soon. I bled quite a bit at 6 weeks last time when I was straining to do a poo (sorry if TMI) had a couple of scans and all was fine DS now 2.5! So I'm now tentatively waiting to get past 6 weeks and eating lots of prunes 😂

Funny enough my ovia app mentioned today that it was fine (I'm 5 weeks 5 days by that)

It's really funny you say that. I'd gone to the toilet when I had my bleed.
I so have my fingers crossed but we will see.

I think the 'straining' when doing a poo is a trouble for early pregnancy! I had what seemed at the time like sooooooo much blood! I just assumed it was MC and was devastated!

Same 😮
I'm not sure it was related but it seems an odd coincidence.
I'm just counting down to 6 weeks now. If i havent had a scan from the doctor by then im definitely booking one.

I have just been to the toilet and when I wiped on the tissues paper there’s pink blood. I’m devastated and so scared. I’m high risk anyway, been told to go to out of hours, really hoping they can reassure me. I am so scared!

I have my fingers crossed for you @pitterpatter01
Remember I've had much more bleeding than that and the doctor wasn't convinced it was the end.

I do wish I'd just gone to out of hours on the night though now.

Hope everything's ok @Pitterpatter01

I think constipation can be an issue when you're first pg so lots of things that can help you go 😊 that way you're not having to strain....I ended up almost getting piles last time 😳😳

So bored of the heat....it's making my legs swell up!!! And I'm so irritable anyway it's not doing much to improve my mood!!

Hope everyone's ok and keeping everything crossed for those having worries and issues at the moment xxx

@Treaclepie19 they said there wasn’t anything they could do, but said that I could phone up somewhere tomorrow for a private scan as they scanners are far better than NHS and they may be able to detect the embryo at 5 weeks. Going to phone tomorrow. It’s still pink blood when I wipe and but none on my pad. The Dr said it really is common in early pregnancy and could just be late implantation. She also said it could be threatened miscarriage, and the best thing that I can do right now is put my feet up and rest. I’ve cancelled my trip (was supposed to be staying with family down south for a week), the Dr said that I shouldn’t be driving all that way at the moment. I hate not knowing, don’t think I will get much sleep tonight and really hope I can have a private scan.
How are you doing? How much longer have you got to wait? Xx
