Tentatively starting this as got a surprise bfp today, due date will be 29 Feb-2 March I think. Currently in shock and not even sure if we can go ahead but I hope we can as the news has made me happy, if scared!

Anyone else?

@sam2012 well this exact thing happened to me and my scan was on the Monday after the weekend. I called the EPU and explained that it was driving me crazy not knowing and could they please bring it forward to just before the weekend and they did. Hopefully you can do the same because 2 weeks is an eternity when you are waiting to find out ❤️

Kimberlily · 23/07/2019 18:19

@Bigpea @caffeinebuzz It's really unsettling isn't it? The midwife said it was normal but glad to hear you ladies also feeling it and that @caffeinebuzz went onto have a healthy baby 🤞🏽❤️

satsumasaturday · 23/07/2019 18:32

Hi @maybenextmonth welcome to the group 😊 So sorry to hear about your mcs, there's sadly quite a few of us that have had previous losses and therefore are anxious. Here's hoping that all these stick 😀 Will this be DC number one for you?

maybenextmonth · 23/07/2019 18:42

@satsumasaturday Yeah I'm amazed at how common MCs are, it's all so hidden in your day to day life. Such an awful thing to go through, sorry to everyone on here who has. Yes this will be number 1 so really hope it sticks!

I saw you had a scan! Did it bring you any reassurance? I'm hoping to be reassured next week but didn't want to go in too soon. Is this number 1 for you also?

@MunchyMunchkin do you think I will be? I was researching vbacs last night I have a feeling they will push me to have one I’m know freaking out about Labour I know it’s very early to think about that but I assumed that since I had an emergency section last time I would be offered a planned section this time.

MunchyMunchkin · 23/07/2019 20:04

@cocomad they will offer you a Vbac and possibly make you go to the vbac clinic but ultimately you can say no and ask for an elective section. Each option has its pros and cons and also somewhat dependent on what the reason for you first section was.

GingerRogers84 Thanks for letting us know but think I will stay on here for now 😊 I don’t really use Facebook that much so will probably just be using this thread.

maybenextmonth Big Welcome to you 😊 sorry to hear about your past Mc 💐 we have the same EDD.. fx for your scan next week x

mrsbumblebees Welcome to the group 😊

Cocomad so I had my booking in appointment with the midwife on Sunday and she told me I will see her next at 16 weeks then 28 and then 34 and didn’t go any further than that with me... this will be DC2 and I also have to see the consultant and the Birth after c section team but that is separate 😊 hope that helps a little.

bigpea I’m 29 and this is DC2 😊

mangobutter sorry to hear you’re having a difficult time! I will be staying on here to chat so don’t worry I’ll keep you company x

sam2012 I’m really sorry you didn’t get the result you wanted! Let’s just hope that your dates are out a little 😊 sending positive vibes your way x

How is everyone today? This weather is killing me! It’s not good feeling sick in this heat 😬
I keep hinting to DH all I want for my birthday on Monday is an early scan so let’s hope he gets the hint.. to be honest it wasn’t really a hint it was a order really hahah

Rightnow1245 · 23/07/2019 20:09

Cocomad I think it you want an C section you can have one! Well that’s what my midwife said 🤔 I am going the other way and pushing for a VB even tho I had a pretty rough time before 🤔 some people may call me stupid 🤣

Cocomad · 23/07/2019 20:24

@Rightnow1245 I don’t really know what I want at the moment my last Labour was long and traumatic so I don’t want that again, on the other hand I still get back problems from the epidural I can actually put my finger on the point on my back where it went in as it still feels tender so I also don’t want to suffer even more from that. The recovery is long and this time I will have my 7 year to care for as well, my partner will obviously take his paternity leave but it’s only 2 weeks also I had more support last time in the form of my parents unfortunately they are not around anymore and although I have quite a large family, they al have their own jobs and lives to getting on with so I won’t have them at service like I did with my parents. I’ve a long time to decide but I think I will brave it and go for a Vbac. I have my first midwife appointment on 5th August so I can discuss it with her then.

Hope everyone is coping in this heat, I didn’t leave my air conditioned office all day and for a change didn’t want to finish work at 5.30 😂 I’m sure it must be worse for all the heavily pregnant ladies out there though!

Kimberlily · 23/07/2019 20:49

@Rightnow1245 I agree.... this weather is gorgeous but I lay out in garden for about 10 mins thinking I'd get my vitamin D and felt even worse for it!

I hope your hubbie got the hint (order!) but also I hope he gets you a little something to unwrap in the morning! I have learned not to say I don't want anything as one year I woke up to a card and was v annoyed!😂

satsumasaturday · 23/07/2019 21:05

Yeah @maybenextmonth I had my scan yesterday at 7 weeks. I ended up getting an early one as my midwife wanted to check my dates due to early mc last month. It was reassuring although I'm still worrying - today I'm worrying because the spotting I've been worrying about for the past 10 days has stopped 🙈 I need to chill out!!
Was so lovely to see my little blob on the screen - they grow about 1mm a day now I think so the longer you can hold out the more you'll get to see 😊
It's number one for me too.

RainbowsAndUnicorns23 · 23/07/2019 21:12

Hi! Found out I was pregnant a week ago today, but had been spotting for a week! I took a test as just didn't feel right! Had a scan wed last week and was measuring 6 and half weeks (7w 2days today) but also have a haematoma! I did with DS2 also, who is only 11 months! DS1 is 7. Unplanned surprise baby number 3!

Frillyfarmer · 23/07/2019 21:32

I had my scan today, everything all ok, beautiful little heart beat and I'm measuring a bit ahead of my dates at 8+3. Absolutely thrilled to bits, I finally feel as though my luck in 2019 is on the turn 🤞🏼

Kimberlily · 23/07/2019 21:42

@Frillyfarmer @RainbowsAndUnicorns23 @satsumasaturday So lovely to hear you all had positive scans!@Frillyfarmer I am telling myself this is my husband and Is year too!🤞🏽

Another booked or 2 weeks time

caffeinebuzz · 24/07/2019 12:16

Did my final clearblue digital this morning, and got a 3+. This is around the time I had both of my early miscarriages, but neither got past 1-2 weeks on the tests, so feeling encouraged! Going to stop testing now and wait for my early scan.

@satsumasaturday ah that's amazing. They wouldn't let me have an early one even given my history so I'll pay for one instead. I can't wait to see it, imagine it makes it all the more real as well!
It's so crazy how we rely so heavily on our symptoms. I had mild sickness that vanished for two days which also made me panic!!
