I'm 4w5d and wondered if anyone else fancied joining me on the amazing journey to come?
First, second, third or fourth (or more!!) timers welcome!

This will be #1 after a long 18 months of miscarriages, infertility and heartache but i'm feeling super positive about this one and ready to enjoy the next few months!

Hi ladies,
Pretty sure I am having another MC. Am 5+3 (acc to LMP) and having bright red bleeding. It's more than spotting but not period heavy (yet) and some period type tummy cramps. Planning to leave it a few days then do another pregnancy test although I know it can take weeks for the HCG to leave your body.

Good luck to everyone with their pregnancies and to everyone being scanned this week xxx

Im7+2 i found out when i was exactly 4 weeks and feel like its been ages already haha, waiting for the scan seems to be taking a long time (but its because were impatient)

1st time parents and SOOOOOOOOO excited, i have just joined this forum as i have only told our parents and nobody else so want to talk about it openly as having to keep it a secret it killing me!!

I already have a very small but noticable to me and my husband !!!

Congrats LJFM2B Smile how have you been feeling?

CL1982 · 11/07/2017 09:35

@summer1986 I am so sorry. Please check with your dr asap-you can spot and bleed in pregnancy and things can be fine but they need to scan you..... keep us updated. Xxxx

So sorry SUMMER hope your ok, really hope your not maybe speak to your doc

smeerf · 11/07/2017 10:04

Oh @Summer1986 that sucks. I'm so sorry. Hopefully it's just normal bleeding rather than MC but either way, I'd pop to the docs to find out.

@LJFM2B@ I just told people - all my closest friends know (ones I've known since school), parents etc. Too hard to keep a secret! I just made sure everyone I told I could rely on to be supportive if anything bad happened.

SS81C · 11/07/2017 10:41

Oh summer - please do speak to your GP... it's likely a pregnancy test in a few days will still be positive either way and you need to get the right support and assessment

LJFM2B · 11/07/2017 11:46

@smeerf @lauralou031986

Honestly been ok, no sickness (yet anyway) just very tiered, bad skin, slight trapped wind (so attractive) and sore boobs. just soooooooooo eager for the next 5 weeks to hurry up so we can get that scan and know he/she is all ok!

i think we will tell our siblings this week and then wait to tell our friends until the scan, my friends will go crazy (in a good way) knowing i have managed to keep it from them for so long! im just being impatient.

Anybody living in Kent?

CL1982 · 11/07/2017 12:46

Ooo-no. But I'm from there originally! Where are you? I'm from lovely Sittingbourne. We're hoping to move back there in a few years.

Today I have been feeling dreadful. Was actually sick for the first time and just can't bear the thought of food. I think some days are going to be worse than others....

Lauralou031986 · 11/07/2017 12:52

I'm with you today CL1982 food is not at all appealing to me today, even tho I no I need to eat, kinda just wanna go to bed and it be another day,

LJFM2B · 11/07/2017 14:19

well im under Darrenth valley and dartford community midwives, we want to move to sevenoaks before we have our second child. But thinking about doing some classes as time goes on and looking for recommendations - ill start another chat haha, this is my new love.

I havent been feeling sick but i have noticed i dont like alot of one thing? almost like i get bored but it starts to make me feel icky! Also my gag reflexes are more sensitive - i accidently chewed down on a lemon pip and instantly reached as if i was going to be sick where as im sure that would have just made me pull a face before!

So please morning sickness hasnt hit me yet and keeping fingers crossed its going to stay that way.

Anyone been able to resist putting a name list together? i couldn't help myself and my husband was the same - his usually sensible but he got involved within 2 seconds. xxx

KerryLeanne84 · 11/07/2017 15:01

Summer I'm so sorry to hear that ☹️ I have everything crossed that perhaps it's normal bleeding and won't lead to a miscarriage - is there an early pregnancy unit near you that you could go to? ❤️

Summer1986 · 11/07/2017 17:10

Thanks ladies. As previously mentioned I'm away at the moment, the EPAU here only sees ladies from 6-12 wks and by GP/midwife ref. I filled the MW reg form in at home last week and was told it was likely she would call me on weds (tomorrow) to discuss booking so hopefully I can speak to her tomorrow. Don't want to waste my holiday sitting in a&e here when it won't change the outcome anyway. What will be will be.

Thanks again ladies.

MamaPippin · 11/07/2017 17:28

You should also try the Peanut app! It's been great for me to connect with new mums close to me - even meaning we can meet up :)

KerryLeanne84 · 12/07/2017 07:19

How are you doing today Summer? ❤️

Summer1986 · 12/07/2017 09:41

Thank you for your message Kerry. I'm still bleeding, took a clear blue digital test and it said not pregnant. Feel devestated that it's over but relieved that I don't have to go through the limbo of bloods and scans and not knowing one way or another like last time x

CL1982 · 12/07/2017 09:53

Much ❤️ @summer1986 xxxx

Oh Summer, I'm so so so sorry. I won't say I know just how you're feeling, but I can imagine. Life is just so unfair. big hugs
