Anyone due July 2020

[rhij86]

Hi all,

Anyone due July 2020? Sorry if I've missed a thread, done a quick search and couldn't find one...

DH and I were due to start TTC for #2 in the new year, but haven't been actively not-trying. Well something was just niggling at me over the weekend, I just 'had a feeling' if that makes sense... did an FRER yesterday and there it was! that second pink line...

I'm equal parts excited and batshit scared haha. I've not told DH yet, it's his birthday on Tuesday so going to break it to him then.

Thanks @Nelbert19 We’d been trying for 3 years I think, but I’ve been wanting a baby for much longer. It took a while to convince my DH! I’m 8 weeks along and feel very impatient and anxious for the 12 week scan. We had an early one at 7 weeks where we saw the heartbeat which was amazing!

I like your idea of speaking to the bar staff in advance for Xmas parties. I’ve got one coming up too and wondering how I’ll get away without drinking. We had to speak to the bar staff during my wedding to make sure one of our relatives, with a known drink problem, didn’t get completely wasted

@PixieN I’ve read that a heartbeat at 7 weeks really reduces the likelihood of miscarriage, so that so reassuring, congrats!

I’m only 5+1 and the wait is driving me mad! Have booked a private scan for 8 weeks to stop me from going completely insane (and to help DH see there really is a baby in there ) but I haven’t even heard from the midwife yet. I really didn’t think I’d be so impatient and anxious about it all, but I basically want to do 3 POAS a day and be continuously hooked up to an USS machine. Bit OTT maybe?

@toomuchteaandcake and @nelbert19 thank you, you're both right! I find it so confusing but you make it sound so simple. And I wasn't counting the extra two weeks. I blame it on pregnancy hormones and fatigue!

I think I might book an early test for this weekend then as my anxiety is through the roof and I think seeing a heartbeat will help to put me at ease. My main symptoms have stopped in the last week (nausea, sore breasts) and instead of being grateful it's adding to my worries. I'm constantly asking myself why they've stopped and convincing myself it's because something has gone wrong.

Thanks @Nelbert19 - that is reassuring. I’m just keeping everything crossed 💕

I don’t think that’s OTT at all lol and I know the feeling about waiting! I’d be happy with daily scans if I could. I really want to have a private one around 9/10 weeks but DH reckons we should wait for the 12 week one. I’m much more impatient!

@NimmuGreen I only knew because my dates are basically the same! I had an early scan last Monday when I thought I was 7+5, I was actually 7 and saw the little heartbeat and would recommend it

@Dafs123 I had a trace of blood in my urine pretty much all through my first pregnancy. It was never visible but came up on tests. I was on red pathway as a result but it never caused any issues.

Haven't posted for couple of weeks. Hope everyone is keeping well.

I had an early scan yesterday morning,my doctor arranged for it as had some bleeding last Wednesday, cramps,sudden loss of nausea, tiredness and sore boobs.

Little bean with a strong heartbeat measuring at 7+2.

Had my first midwife appointment yesterday afternoon.Hoping I'll get my 12 week scan before Christmas so can tell family🙂

All went well at my early scan. After bad news at an early scan in July I am over the moon. I started crying as soon as I lay down. Seeing that heart beat was just amazing. Iv booked another for 2 weeks 🙈 crazy I know but after what we went through frankly I don't care 😂💖

@arleybarley Glad your scan went well!

@Dafs123 Glad yours went well too! And don't worry, I'm having scans every two weeks. Saw my consultant at 6 weeks and again tomorrow for my 8 week scan. He said he'd hand me over to NHS for the 12 week scan but I've already decided if things are okay tomorrow I'm going to need a 10 week scan too! I've had a MMC at 12 weeks so I'm just finding the scans help my anxiety.

@toomuchteaandcake so happy your scan went well and you saw your little one’s heartbeat, how exciting! I’ve booked one for Saturday afternoon - fingers crossed all is well.

@Dafs123 and @arleybarley glad your scans went well too!

I have a doctors apt tomorrow to see what plan of action is after last weeks bleed x

Thanks @RedRobin7 I think when you've had that heartbreak what ever helps ease the anxiety you just need to do it x

Thank you @BlueRaincoat89 measured 6+4 which us absolutely fabulous with a nice strong HB but I have a pocket of blood near the baby that makes me at a slightly higher risk if MC so i just need to hope my body re-absorbs it!

@susie12345, I have everything crossed for you! There's a dew ladies on fb who had the same and are seeing heart beats on their next scan

Great news @showmewhatyougot

@Ethellsmum 2pm is my most exhausted time too! Could you try eating some fruit like a banana and apple? Or move your lunch break so you can nap?

@susie12345 I went for a scant at 5+2 and only saw the gestational sac and yolk sac. The purpose of the scan wasn’t to see a heartbeat but to see if the pregnancy is rightly located. Before the scan the sonographer told me that we might not be able to see anything yet as it’s so early. I had a MMC at 9 weeks after seeing a strong heartbeat at 7+1 so to be honest seeing a heartbeat doesn’t guarantee a positive outcome, unfortunately. Just try not to worry and book another scan soon for some reassurance. First trimester is filled with anxiety! Let’s hope that we will all get our July babies.

@Izabela86 hi yes you are right, i mean the scan i went to was to rule out ectopic and it did so i know its in the right place but i got worried that they said i was only 5 weeks and i thought i was 6. And i wasnt sure why they asked me to come back in 2 weeks if they already ruled out ectopic. Im just worried they saw something but didnt tell me. Think my brain is completely going into overdrive.

Also thank you everyone for all your reassuring words :)

@susie12345 I see. I’m pretty sure they’d say if something was wrong! They’re professionals. I’d hope. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you but I’m sure you’re okay. Take care x

@susie12345 don’t worry if you can - I know it’s so hard and we do all feel the same right now. They do always ask people to come back in two weeks if they can’t confirm it’s viable - even if the reason you originally went was to rule out ectopic! Will be nice for you next time to see a good strong heartbeat ❤️

Hi all, Wanted to join in, I'm due 27th July. Only found out fee days ago as was too scared to take another test and it be negative.

We had a late loss at 20 weeks in May which was devastating, been trying since June with no luck until now. I am over the moon but absolutely terrified something will be wrong or it won't go okay. How do you all stop stressing? I just can't get the worries out of my head!

Welcome Cthomas87! So sorry to hear about your loss, that must have been devastating! I think most of us have suffered losses in here so know how you feel to some extent. I think I’ve managed my anxiety this time by coming to terms with the fact that whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what I do! Avoiding going to the toilet for fear of seeing blood won’t stop me bleeding eventually. I’ve also taken some comfort this time in feeling horrendous! When those symptoms kick in it will ease you’re anxiety too 😀

Hi ladies!

@Cthomas87 Congrats on your BFP! And sorry for your loss. I have been trying for 5 months since a loss at 14 weeks. I got my BFP yesterday at 10dpo so would be due start of August. Absolutely terrified, keep checking I'm not bleeding as really don't want this to be a chemical pregnancy.

@CrazyCoonz sorry to hear you've been through similar, seems we both went through a tough time, we were also trying for 5 months before this BFP! I was so scared the first few days after getting my BFP, expecting it to be chemical and for AF to show up late. I'm keeping everything crossed for us both that these ones stick! It's so hard isn't it after having a late loss, everyone else seems to aim towards the 12 week scan but sadly we know that's not the safe point. Try to take one day at a time, that's what I'm doing, counting down to each key date..for example my next one is my booking appointment on 17th December. Think I'm going to ask gp about getting an early scan see if they will refer me, might help a little Xx

@susie12345 I went through the exact same thing, they suspected eptopic as I was in so much pain, had high temp etc, had my first scan 2 weeks ago all was fine, and had a second scan Tuesday as once you see the early pregnancy team it's just routine x

I've put off posting in this thread due to mc worries. I'm still worried but for now, ii have no reason to think I am having a mc.

I am due 10th July. Have had more than one scan and have another one booked! I had a mmc previously and what I am most fearful of is the not knowing and finding out much later, which was the case before.

I am a single mother to one beautiful DD. This pregnancy was not planned and is the result of a short, casual relationship. We'll see how that turns out.

I am currently in the throes of nausea and occasional vomiting. Work has been a lot of fun!

Hi ladies, sorry I'm not able to catch up on the thread today as I'm recovering from a migraine. Just wanted to update that I had my 8 week scan today and baby was measuring on track and we got to hear the heartbeat. I have had very few symptoms so far so I was genuinely expecting to be told the baby wasn't developing or the heart had stopped beating again. I'm so pleased and hope it reassures those of you with few symptoms too.

I've got another scan at 10 weeks so hope that time goes quickly!
