I didn't realise the last thread was full ladies! Can't believe it took so little time but it's been a busy couple of months!

If I've forgotten anybody I'm really sorry and please tag them...

For all of us who have recently got BFPs, all of those still trying and for all the lovely updates about new arrivals let's hope this lucky thread continues for us all 🙏🌈💝 xx

@Jadeypie fair play for being so calm, I think j shook for about 48 hours 😂 I'd say you're right and the spotting was implantation. I ageee about holding off with epau for a while if you can. You're not likely to see anything significant until after 6 weeks. Maybe just keep testing on the easy@homes for a few days. I know line progression doesn't outline if it's a viable pregnancy or not but it might give you some sense of control. Or if you have a good GP could you ask for bloods today and in 48 hours? If not hopefully work keeps you busy as a good distraction 😂 xx

@Supertrooper101 if they haven't told you that you have it by now then I doubt that you do. They usually call you really quickly to start special diet or meds. Hopefully it means that you're out of the woods 🤞 Are they concerned with her being transverse? You've still got time for her to move? I've heard good things about spinning babies if you haven't tried it already 🤷‍♀️

@Westy22 they have to give me one because I had the ectopic so hopefully it's straight forward and yehh I'm at whiston are your having your baby at whiston? I crnt remember if u said xx

@Supertrooper101 I know seriously just reminded me will have to ring the hospital to cancel that appointment too haha I'm still doing my health kick I'm convinced all the good food I eat does wonders for my body! Oh so what does that mean will u need extra growth scans? They might decided to get you in earlier how many weeks are you now good about the gd too xx

Oh yeh oh nos no denying the tests ha safe to say his head fell off hahaha I think he was starting to think somthing was wrong with one of us because it hadn't happened in so long he's still processing hahaha x

@Sez281 I done a easy@home This morning and it's well darker than yesterday but I won't be doing them again cba with the obsession. I've got another digital left coz I got antwo pack Al do that the end of the week and then that's it for the tests. Tbh I'm in the mind this isn't like last time so Al roll with it keep looking at my son thinking why do u suddenly look older hahaha xx

Ah that makes more sense @Jadeypie yeah I'm giving birth at whiston as its closest. Glad you've told the OH ❤️ I remember the relief on my OHs face when I told him...he was so over ttc 😂😂

Saw my midwife today, finally measured me and I'm actually measuring 27cm at 28 weeks which surprised me so not as massive as I feel but may be because baby is still opting to lie across 😂 no protein in urine this time and everything else was good so that's positive. She said we don't do birth plan till 36 weeks which feels late 🤔

@Westy22 I had my son there couldn't fault them at all xx

I was small carrying until the last week xx

I think if you can go with not testing do it lol @Jadeypie I did them every few days and got the weeks indicator ones, once I hit 3+ I stopped. I would've refused bloods as they give me massive anxiety first time round analysing numbers, however my history is different to yours so they may recommend. Weirdest thing is I don't feel small ha everyone always thinks I'm due in a few weeks 😂 but I've always had a very bloaty stomach so wonder if that just makes me massive, as I do feel like I wake up smaller. I'm hoping to use the sapphire suite for birth 🙏 need to keep myself in the low risk category 😂

I reckon I'm going to have a baby that stays breach/transverse till the very last bloody minute @Supertrooper101 it doesnt appear to like feet up. so keep me updated on your progress 🙈 MW said they won't start worrying about position until I'm 36 weeks. I read that only 25% babies are still the wrong way at 28 weeks so I'm already like great 😂

@Westy22 aparently its rare if they stay transverse, so am sure it will lol do you and jadey live near each other then lol says the birth plan should be done around 34 so you was right, maybe yours didnt have time today lol if yours is still sideways itl all go to pot a anyway.
@Sez281 she said today they have until 36 to get in position so will see lol keep seeing ppl mention that spinny thing on google, sounds interesting lol how did you get on today, are things calmer now with ur bp?
@Jadeypie love your cool attitude 🙂

@Supertrooper101 I didn't realise we lived close ha and yeh I feel alright tbh am leaving any phone calls to epu and gp till next Monday oh and cancel the hycosy. I'm not obsessing over tests and I'm going to be positive and just enjoy what is now if that makes sense. Xx

@Westy22 forgot to aak, was it you on about the vit k and ppl in two minds about it? Can you remember what the cons were they were saying?
@Jadeypie you defo do right 🙂

Morning I remember someone suffering with constipation in the early days what did use eat or take because this is me and I'm the very opposite normally hahaha xx

@Jadeypie congratulations!! Love your chilled attitude :) is this your first positive since ectopic? Prunes are normally recommended to get things moving but that's not from personal experience ha.
@Supertrooper101 I would have thought they'd tell you straight away if you had it, how many weeks are you now?
@Westy22 is 27cm big or small?
@Sez281 have you got any scans coming up soon?

I tested this morn so 11dpo, I feel like I can see a hint of a line, might just be me wanting to see it tho and could be an evap. I have no other tests in the house at mo, what do you guys think?

@Paws4thought that is exactly like mine!!!! Eeeeek if u look back at mine it's even darker!!

Yeh the first time I'm actually excited today xx

@Paws4thought I can definitely see a line and it looks like colour more than evap 🙏🙏🙏🙏

So I think I'm supposed to measure 28cm so puts me just below 50th percentile however the way they do it doesn't feel me with much confidence it's very accurate lol xx

@Paws4thought get the early digital one it takes all the guessing away with the lines xx

@Westy22 is this bump measurements? Xx

@Paws4thought there's definitely a whisper of a line there! If you can I'd recommend getting a boots pink dye too, but keep testing with easy's, feeling tentatively hopeful for you! 🙏 xx

I'm in weekly with consultant now so had a scan yesterday and all looked good. Just need to keep an eye on my BP constantly

@Jadeypie I suffered with awful digestion pains for first trimester, fybogel over the counter helped but it didn't stop it completely, I was doubled over most evenings in pain for about 30 mins! 😣

@Westy22 there's loads of posts on here about how inaccurate they are so I'd definitely take it with pinch of salt

@Supertrooper101 you're 34/35 now yeah? How do you feel about a section of it comes to it with position? I'm gearing up to be told I'll need one, I'd prefer not to but will 100% just go with what they recommend

Glad I'm not seeing things, I'll get some more tests ready for tomorrow morn and keep everything crossed.
@Westy22 ah OK, right in the middle then, I guess it must give them a good guide if not super accurate.
@Sez281 has your BP stayed the same or does it fluctuate? Hopefully they can keep it controlled for you.
@Jadeypie yeah that's true, I will see what's in boots :) hopefully the excitement will stay for you!

@Paws4thought keeping everything crossed for you 🙏

@Westy22 I forgot to add mine is turning from transverse to head down all the time (I've lost count how many times lol) even at 31 weeks she's turned again this week so I don't know how much Id trust those stats of them staying the same as 28 weeks as I've had 3 changes since then, even though she's a big enough weight she's still able to move a lot 😂

@Sez281 I will look into that thank you. Sounds like she's quite the active one haha. It's mad because I feel like I've forgot so much since my aone with appointment wise.

I'm on a night shift tonight so I will be telling my manager even tho I'm so early I am taking zero risks when it comes to work. I'm expected to pull heavy deliverys in ect on my own half the time and no way am I doing any of that! Xx

@Paws4thought keeping everything crossed for you xx

@Jadeypie fybogel !! 2 a day until your back to normal. Man, i forgot how bad and painful that used to be lol how do you think work will be for you? It is simple a case of saying this is how it is.... and they cant really do anything 🤷‍♀️
@Sez281 yeah 34 ish. Did the birthing thing yesterday.. I didnt realise there was so much to an induction tho so that threw me. Think id prefer the c.s to that! Same as you tho, all depends on position and size lol
@Westy22 yeah am abit like that with how a tape measure can be so accurate. Your bump looks neat...... and big tho so i wouldnt have put you under 28 but could be alot of water or she was off by a cm or 3 lol
@Paws4thought i so hope this is different for you this time in terms of being listened to and support 🤞

@Supertrooper101 that's it crnt do anything about it and will have to accommodate for me ha when i was having james it was lockdown so I was off till 3 months and then had nothing to do but sit round for the rest of the pregnancy. This time will be so different regarding work xx
