Pregnant and on 2ww pathway as I’ve found a lump

[hereismydog]

I posted recently having noticed a large lump in my neck, assumed my thyroid had just gone a bit wonky with pregnancy hormones so saw my GP yesterday who has put me on the 2ww for head and neck to rule out cancer. I’ve had some other symptoms (tiredness, croaky voice) but it’s so difficult to know what is just plain hayfever or a pregnancy symptom and what isn’t. I’ve lost a bit of weight but I had horrible morning sickness through my entire first trimester so could be down to that.

I’m trying to keep it together and think rationally that it’s probably nothing sinister and my GP is just being cautious but I can’t help panicking. Would just like a handhold please while I wait

Congratulations, beautiful boy 🥰

He is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations and I hope you have a lovely Christmas. Wishing you a good recovery from your C section.

Fab little boy!!!!
Hope you get home for Christmas day and good luck with your surgery! Take each day as it comes. That cracking little lad will see you through.

Oh wow! 🥰 what an absolutely gorgeous bubba. MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS xx

Congratulations! I've followed your story and can't believe hiw brave and amazing you've been facing your diagnosis. Enjoy your first Christmas with your son.

Congratulations on your perfectly gorgeous little boy!!!

Oh congratulations! Your gorgeous baby boy is perfect!
Enjoy your first Christmas with him.
As pp has said, rest as much as you can. The more you rest the quicker you will recover.
Good luck with your upcoming surgery and please update us.
Happy Christmas!

Lovely news. So pleased to see it. You sound amazing people. Best wishes for the next stages.

He is utterly gorgeous - look at that face and that skin!

Congratulations OP - you deserve a gorgeous Christmas present and now you have one.

Wow congratulations!!!!!! Have the best Christmas, you really deserve it!

I have followed your thread, and wanted to wish you and your family a lovely Christmas Day with your beautiful baby xx

We’ve had a lovely Christmas with our beautiful boy!

Sadly, someone really has it in for me because I’ve been readmitted with an infection in my c-section wound! 😅

This chubby little monkey is worth every second of shit though. He had his day 5 checkup today and he has GAINED 3.5oz since birth! At least my boobs are working, even though nothing else is. 🐄

I was thinking of you earlier and hoped for an update. He is SO gorgeous. Thinking of you all xxx

He really is so gorgeous. Look how contented he is (I know that might not be the case in the small hours!). I hope you’re soon on the mend.

Hoping for our favourite midwives to be on shift tonight! He’s waiting for his fans to come and say hi

I was in hospital over Christmas with my newborn (born 23/12 28 years ago!). A special time. I Hope you get the team you want but they’ll all be head over heels with him.

Have just read your journey OP . Massive congratulations on the safe birth of your beautiful baby boy. Onwards and upwards 💪💙Xx

I was thinking of you today, so thought I would check how you are all doing. Sending lots of love xxx

How are you and your beautiful little boy doing? You’ve been through a hell of a lot in such a short space of time!

Hello again 🥰 we’re settling in well, thank you! Some issues with slow weight gain unfortunately so we’ve been referred to the breastfeeding support team to rule out tongue tie as he feeds almost constantly but always seems to be hungry 😕 he’s weeing and pooing plenty but he has slowed down on weight gain. Another hurdle! But he’s just beautiful ❤️

What a beautiful baby!

Hello everyone, time for an update!

Old matey in my neck was given its marching orders today, I’m very sore and very tired but very glad it’s out. Now just a waiting game for the histology report to see if this is the end of it or if I need anything else doing. Three hours in theatre in the end, but my lovely surgeon has still left me with half a thyroid, which hopefully continues to do its job! I’m in overnight tonight, feels weird being away from my beautiful boy while he’s still so tiny and new, but I’ve left him with his Daddy and a big supply of expressed milk, so he will be just fine overnight.

Thanks all for bearing with me and holding my hand through this baby tax paid, can you believe he’s FIVE WEEKS old already?!

Well done OP, thanks for the update. He is gorgeous and you are amazingly strong

Oh my word! You are magnificent,OP, and he is so wise and adorable.

So glad the op is done and you'll be home before you know it.
