Thread #2 link

@Angelmiracle thanks!
@ladycarlotta sorry you're so poorly. My sickness has ramped up too. So hard to get through a day.

Hurrah!

Thanks for setting the new thread up @Angelmiracle!

These threads move so quickly! @wordsmithereens thank you for the kind words on the last thread re meds withdrawal. I have used the Headspace app for mindfulness in the past so think I will give it another go.

@Angelmiracle thanks for starting the new thread!

Thanks for the new thread, I've not been able to keep up today as been so busy at work and busy dying in this bloody heat, so had enough of it now!

Congrats to those who have had early scans. I'm seriously thinking about one, how did you go about booking? Is it done at you local hospital?

Thanks for the new thread. Checking in with ridiculous insomnia. I’ve been awake for hours. This is not good as toddler ds is really struggling to nap at the moment so I potentially have a looong day ahead of me.

orangekitkat13 I googled a little bit and came across window to the womb they are based all around the UK. They had amazing reviews and I was able to book my scan online. They offer a variety of scans throughout the pregnancy. I loved it.

MurphyRocks lovely scan. It's so nice to see other scans and healthy beans

Thanks for new thread :)

Thanks for the new thread I wonder how many we get through over the next few months

orangekitkat13 I googled early reassurance scans and my area. Most you have to be over 7 weeks and prices vary around £40-100 depending on whether you want a photo or image on a cd.

#3!

Morning all !

Wonder what thread we will be up to in march 😂

Thanks for starting the new thread.

Barely slept last night and feeling so queasy this morning. Probably connected to tiredness as well, this is the worst it has been so far.

Telling my mum today. I know it's early 5+3 but I feel she has to know either way.

Morning all, great news about scans.

Badbadbeans I had that in my first pregnancy and the midwife said provided its just a bit not to worry, it for happen a few times though.

@TheOneWithTheBaby I'm so sorry you're feeling rough, I was too between 5 and 7 weeks but at 8+3 now I'm feeling much more human so hope it'll be the same for you too!

@orangekitkat13 yes we went to Window in the Womb, they were great, I don't think the hospitals do scans in additional to the 12 and 20 week ones unless there's a medical reason.

@Murphyrocks I haven't thrown up, I just feel sick and have some bowel problems. But I have IBS as well and when particularly stressed I sometimes feel similar. No stress now but I wonder whether the pregnancy flares it all up somehow. I do hope you're right and it might go away in a few weeks. Today is really rough and I have plans to meet friends who don't know!

@Olivia2019 @Wineandchoccy @Murphyrocks ok great thank you, I'll take I look.

At 8 +3 I slept through the night for the first time since BFP! No idea how I managed it in the heat but feel so much better today for it!

Morning everyone, thanks for the new thread @Angelmiracle I can't believe we're on #3 already!

Just hitting the 7 week mark today. Although it's felt slow it actually has gone really quickly. Have my booking in appointment next week so hoping that the scan date will come around just as quick!

I hope everyone suffering with sickness is coping ok. I think the heat makes everything so much worse.

Sorry TMI but need somewhere to write it down. Woken up to dark brown blood (good it's brown I know) this morning but also massive cramping and a lot of lower abdomen pain. Hope it passes as can't go to Epu with my DS around (no other children rule, which is fair enough).

SquirtlesMumAgain good that it is brown, I hope it is nothing to worry about. Hugs x

Morning all. I have my docs appointment this morning. I mentioned when I spoke to them that I slipped through the net last time and never had my booking in appointment (despite calling the gp when I found out and again at 7 weeks). They were keen not to hand me over to midwives as my hospital choice apparently means I have to go through them for the time being. It’ll be interesting to see whether they pull themselves together and this is my actual booking in! I’m hoping this means I’ll get my date for a scan shortly as we’re going away with my friends the week I turn 12 weeks so if the scan is after, I’d like to have a private scan for reassurance so when they inevitably guess, I can tell them with confidence without worrying about a mmc.

I’m so sorry for those feeling rough as a badger’s arse. It’s truly miserable. I’m at the other end of the spectrum and still having minimal symptoms at 7+3 which is massively unnerving though.

Thanks for the new thread :) still no morning sickness for me guess I should appreciate that lots of spots though :(

Morning all!

Your scan is fab @Murphyrocks !

@orangekitkat13 I had a scan at the EPU at 6+6 because I was experiencing pain and have a history of miscarriage. I booked a private one through GP Care UK which I think is some kind of private outfit attached to the NHS. I think they're just based in the west of England, but I liked the idea of them having some kind of clinical training just in case there was bad news, and not having to go into a Mothercare or something to do it (for same reason). But when I googled for my area there were loads of companies like Window to the Womb, so I think just choose whatever you feel comfortable with.

@SquirtlesMumAgain I hope everything's OK. So scary to see blood.
