BFP! August/September 2020 Babies!

[Beth804]

Hi, just found out after a long time trying! Haven't really told anyone yet so thought some ladies in the same position might want somewhere to share symptoms/stories/worries. Doesn't feel real yet and that 12 week scan seems a loooooong way off!! 😂

@Vialarooski thankyou for checking in! I kind of dropped off the thread the last couple weeks. Been feeling a little down after passing that clot, I bled for a week after that, but randomly today I’ve started getting streaky red blood again. Didn’t think there was a point in calling the doctors as they’d just tell me to wait for my epu appointment. Tuesday can’t come quick enough.
It was my lb’s first birthday today which has kept my mind off whatever’s going on 😩🤷🏻‍♀️

@IslayBrigid Ooh, thank you for the recommendations, I will check her out! Haven't had any scans yet but have my first booked in for Friday, it can't come soon enough!

@2019Mama yes hurry up Tuesday, just so you can get some answers! I still think it's so unfair that you've had to wait this long.
Aw happy birthday to your little one, that's a lovely distraction x

@Vialarooski I know it’s annoying. It’s like times slowed down 🙄

Thankyou x

Hope you’re doing well.

I've had my scan and all is well! 🤗🎉 There was a lovely flickering heartbeat 💙 I am so relieved! For 5 minutes! 😂 Thank you everyone for your continued support.

@2019Mama I've been thinking of you. I hope you are holding up well. Happy Birthday to your little one 🎈 xx

@Mammasj that's great news. I bet you feel so relieved. Do you still not feel pregnant? 😂 I still don't that's why I'm so scared about my 12 week scan or even booking a private one. xx

@Mrs71 Thank you! Yes I feel so relieved, I can't quite believe it because nope, I don't feel pregnant at all!! Lol I'm glad I booked the private one because if something had gone wrong, I wanted to deal with it all asap. But it was very scary. The wait this morning was horrible but now I feel so much better and I'm going to try and relax a bit! 😂 not feeling pregnant definitely doesn't mean anything so don't worry! Lol Our 12 week scans will soon be here! 🎉 xx

@Mammasj aw that's great news! Definitely nice to get a bit of reassurance and to see what's going on inside there ❤️

Hello ladies, hope you are all having a nice weekend! Does anyone else feel moody these days? I feel like I'm so moody and miserable....quite impatient and snappy as well. Partly because I'm trying to organise some things at home (early nesting? Lol) I have this need to get things cleaned up and organised and I feel annoyed seeing so many things I want to improve before baby arrives...suddenly seeing all the things that need to be fixed or improved. Does anyone feel this way already? I really hope this moodiness goes away soon as I feel even annoyed at myself for feeling so moody lol

@Mammasj congrats, that's brilliant news. Must be such a relief. And glad I'm not the only one with no symptoms!

@BoboN5 @Vialarooski thank you both! 😘 xx

Hello @2019Mama, what time is your appointment tomorrow lovely? Will be thinking of you. 💐 I really hope you get some positive news! X

@Mammasj so happy to read your scan went this well. Now you can just consider yourself lucky that you feel so normal :)

I think I've moved on from the stage of watching myself every day and comparing how I feel and worrying. I guess I just had symptoms around the 6th and 7th week which are supposed to be the most intense from what I heard anyway. And now I feel quite normal but because I had a few scans, I feel reassured that it doesnt mean anything. Im still considering going for one more private scan next week tho...befoee my 12 week scan. Just because my main scan is planned for Wednesday morning and I promised to go to work straight after and it makes me feel slightly anxious that I would be going for this scan after 3 weeks of no update as I still feel like there is still the possibility of something going wrong and I dont want to find out in the middle of my working week. Maybe too much of a practical thinking. But thought that possibly another scan at 11 week would give me more confidence that the 12 week one will go just fine. I feel positive but I guess I may need another reassurence before.

@Martina2311 Thank you 😊 I know what you mean, the worry just doesn't go does it. But the 12 week scans are in sight now. What date is yours again? If you fee that another scan in the interim will settle your mind, then go for it. Whatever we have to do during these weeks, we have to do.

I'm starting to worry about telling work. There's a lot going on at the moment and although I know there is absolutely nothing they can do, I don't think they'll be very happy. I just can't wait until it's all out in the open and I can walk around with my big swollen belly on show 😂 I'll be able to properly start enjoying it then. Have you told everyone yet? Have you planned an announcement? Xx

Just had my dating scan at 10 weeks and all was perfect! Saw a very wriggly baby and heard a nice strong heartbeat. All looks good and I am measuring perfectly in line with my dates. 🥰 I have to admit I may have teared up a little when I heard the heartbeat!

As I'm in France the process is a little different so I now need to make an appointment with a specialist sonographer to do the scan to measure the NT and then the blood test for my Papp-A levels. Need to organise that for between 12 and 14 weeks. So after the joy of this morning, I will soon have something else to worry about!

No equivalent to the private Harmony test that I can see, but I will be offered the equivalent for free if the combined test comes back with a high probability. So will have to be a bit patient!

Hey everyone,been off for a few days but lovely to hear your scans went well @Mammasj and @kersh33! That's so great 🙌✨❤️ :)

@Martina2311 sorry to hear you're still feeling a little anxious! As someone who hasn't had any scans I'm really starting to feel impatient now haha. The 19th couldn't come soon enough! It is only 2 weeks tho, pretty much, and time will fly! But if you feel you need one in between then you gotta do what you gotta do, to get through the difficult first weeks. Scans seem a bit addictive don't they! I guess it's just so nice to have reasurance. I really hope everything is ok at the 12 week one - I still sometimes can't believe I'm pregnant...

I wonder if the worry goes down after 12 or so weeks... Anyone with children already able to advise? Does it get easier after the 12 week scan because the risk of miscarriage goes down then?

@BoboN5 good luck for Fri! Not long now - how many weeks will you be?
@2019Mama good luck for tomorrow!! 🌷🌷

Hi ladies! I've posted once before, but haven't posted in a while. I have an early scan booked in for Wednesday at 2pm! I'm extremely nervous because of my past 3 miscarriages. I guess im building myself up to deal with bad news 😫 I have extremely bad nausea 24/7 and keep having nosebleeds. I had so many nosebleeds while pregnant with DD so I'm just hoping that it's a positive sign.

Hows everyone doing so far? I hope you're all enjoying your pregnancies

@IslayBrigid I think the worry is always there but it changes..after the 12week scan I stopped worrying so much about miscarriage and started worrying about the risks involved, different syndromes or problems the baby could have, and then once you start feeling the baby move, you worry it's not moved enough, or that your not noticing a pattern or any little thing you can think of really to drive your self mad.
But I think this time round I'm going to try and relax a bit kore and enjoy it. What will be will be so enjoy the moment your in 💕

Hi all can I join in? I'm currently 12 wks and 4 days pregnant with my second. My scan is tomorrow and I'm BEYOND nervous. I was saying to my husband that I might even cry when I get there. It's meant to be an exciting time but I'm just overwhelmed with worry!

@Martina2311 my appointments at 10:45. Honestly I’m prepared for bad news.

@IslayBrigid thankyou xx

@2019Mama I know its probably impossible to keep positive after what you have experienced and these two weeks of waiting must have been really difficult for you. But it's hard to tell whats happening unless they have a look so at least you will finally get some answers tomorrow. I will be thinking of you ❤

@Mammasj I get what you mean, I'm also a bit nervous about telling at work. But somehow also looking forward to it so that I don't have to be hiding anything and they can be understanding and accomodating in certain ways. I'm sure it won't be as bad as we imagine. We shouldn't even feel guilty...that's our life and it's much more important than anything else. When are you planning on telling them? Straight after the 12 weeks? I have to do it as soon as I can after the 12 week scan, as I booked other appointments during my working hours so need to let them know in advance.

My scan is on the 19th which is in just over 2 weeks and thats not bad at all, I know it will go quick but by then it will be 3 weeks since my last scan and I just feel like there is still this chance something might go wrong since the last check up and maybe if I go one more time before, it will be more likely that everything will be fine at the main scan. Otherwise I am a little nervous since I am supposed to go straight after the scan back to work. I had this situation last year - I went for my 12 week scan to find out we have suffered a missed miscarriage and my partner had to call to work, that I can't come and that I actually don't know when I will be back. It was awkward. So I guess as I have this experience, I am a little paranoid with the scan being in the middle of the week and that I am meant to go from the hospital straight to work.

I have shared the news with some of my closest friends as I look at it in a way that if it wasnt gonna end well, I would seek a support in them anyway. I also look at miscarriage as something that happens and was a stage in my life and I've always been open and honest about all my ups and downs with my closest, so I don't mind them going through this with me from the very beginning. For the rest of the people, we haven't really thought of any special announcement yet. Only with our son, my partner is insisting on waiting to tell him until the second second scan...he wants to take him there as a surprise and for the gender reveal. This is a nice idea and I think that I would really love him to come with us ti the second scan anyway...at least to part of it. But I don't know if I want to wait so long with sharing the news with him. When and how did you tell your first boy about baby number two? If he was old enough to understand, of course. :) When are you thinking of telling them this time?

Thank you @IslayBrigid 🥰

@Martina2311 Oh my gosh, I completely understand why you are anxious given what you've been through. That sounds awful 😢 a friend of mine has been through that twice too. She's now having baby number 6 so she's had plenty of healthy pregnancies too but it does happen, and being realistic and managing your anxiety is the best thing to do for you and baby. You are doing great!

Aw that's a lovely idea to tell your son! How old is he? I've kind of missed out on this part because I've had mine so close together lol. My first son was only 1 when I was pregnant with number 2 and they are currently 3.5 and 1.5 so they don't really understand even now. What's really strange though is that since Christmas my oldest keeps telling me there's a baby in my tummy and that it's a little boy, a brother! 😳 it's beyond creepy lol. We haven't told him at all but he keeps saying this all the time, and even said it to my mum! So he's clearly picking up on something but doesn't qui understand that there will be a new human in the house at some point lol. It would be such a beautiful thing to tell them at an age that they understand (and care!) lol

Like you, I've only told very close family and friends that I would want to know no matter what happens. But I'm looking forward to blurting it to the world and enjoying every second of it. My 12 week scan is 2 days after yours, the 21st. That weekend will be a big celebration for all of us hopefully! Xx

@2019Mama will be thinking of you.

@2019Mama good luck for tomorrow 💐

@kersh33 glad your scan went well! 😊

@SavanahXx good luck with your scan. 😊

@IslayBrigid we don't have too long to wait now! The 19th can't come round quick enough even though I'm excited and so nervous at the same time. 😬

@Mammasj I'm feeling a lot better things, especially as you don't feel pregnant either I'm holding out until the 19th! Only 2 weeks to go.😬I haven't told anyone not even my parents this is such a wanted baby I'm too nervous to tell anyone. I just want everything to be ok and then can share my happy news. xx
