Pregnancies due April 2018 *Edited by MNHQ*

[Shanners123]

Hi ladies.. early days but thought I'd start a group for everyone due April next year... see how we're all doing!

I'm due around end of April (I think) ☺️ although it's my 3rd pregnancy I'm really scared as was in hospital today got bloods taken and they scanned me and scanned me internally couldn't see nothing so done bloods the hormones came back at 1100? They think it could be a eptomic pregnancy I'm really scared I've cried all day the thought of it all 😭 don't know what to do or expect they want me to go back in on Thursday for more tests but I am so scared I've never been threw this before 😢 congratulations everyone expecting tho!xxx

Oh @dmc23 sorry to here your having a worrying experience. Have you been having any pain to accompany there idea that you might be having an ectopic? Hopefully they are just unable to see anything at the moment and when you go again baby will be where it should be. Fx for you.

Ally62442 I woke up yesterday bleeding pretty heavy, it calmed down as the day went on so a didn't think nothing of it I've never been the type of person to make a fuss if I can deal with it myself, but I woke up this morning with really bad pains in my right hand side doubled over in pain it's horrid so I phoned the docs and they sent me to hospital now am just a lot more worried incase it is an eptomic, my bloods were 1100 and they want them to double in 48hours if not then it's an eptomic pregnancy I just feel like crying the whole time I'm back Thursday witch is my youngest 3rd birthday and I don't want them known anything is going on so my neighbour/cousin has agreed to watching them while I go and get results but I am so scared! A just want to hear someone else has gone threw it and how they dealt with it and what the outcome was xxxx

@dmc23 hope you get some answers soon. How many weeks are you?

Maybe the sac was too small for them to see yet? Or maybe unfortunately you have miscarried but hormones still present? With my extopic we didnt do bloods I went straight to theatre from EPU nothing seen on scan but I was bleeding with right sided burning pain.

Really hope it is not an ectopic x x

I can't imagine how you must be feeling @dmc23 😔

I've got my scan with the early pregnancy unit this morning. So bloody nervous. It's not helping me have a comfortably full bladder with all this nervous peeing!

@Loosemoose28 that's what I'm getting pain on my left side and been bleeding get more answers tomorrow hopefully, they done another pregnancy test at the docs yday and it came back posertive so hoping for the best

If it gets worse go to A&E. Hope its just tender implantation bleeding. X

How did your scan go @ally62442 ?

@charlie0692 It went really well. I'm still in awe of it tbh. I had to have the internal one. It's the tiniest little bean you could imagine. But we could she the flickering heart beat which I was praying I would get to see. I got a picture but you can't really see anything only the slightest hint of the yolk sack. Think she said baby was measuring at 1.3mm. Teeny tiny.

@ally62442 I am so, so happy you saw the heartbeat! Made my day Congratulations. ps 1.3mm or 1.3cm? xx

@IslingtonHels millimetres I'm sure she said it's tiny. She thinks I'm a little less than 6 weeks. So I'm amazed we got to see a heartbeat. But tbh because I ovulate late in my cycle I thought I might be not as far along as my app predicted as it goes from first day of last period with a typical ovulation happening around cycle day 14. Where as I ovulated cycle day 18.

Mine is 1.3mm too

Congratulations @ally62442 ☺ I have an early scan booked for tomorrow evening. Praying to see a heartbeat!! X

@ally62442 that's great news. Lovely that you got to see a heart beat x

Congratulations ally, great news? Was it a private scan?

@ally62442 wow congrats that must have been so exciting and reassuring to see .. how far did they say you were I've early scan next tues at 6wks and hoping. Everything is where it should be and we see a healthy heart beat .. hope everyone else is doing ok

Thanks ladies it was so great to see that little flicker I can't explain how relieved I felt.

@HarryHarry it wasn't a private one I went to the early pregnancy unit as I have a blood disorder so they needed to confirm pregnancy and get me started on daily injections whilst pregnant.

@Myalterego1 she was specific with how far gone I am but she said I looked more five weeks and something than 6 weeks. On my scan report it says 5/6. I reckon I'm just under 6.

How many weeks are you again @Loosemoose28? I'm rubbish at remembering everything I've read. Makes you wonder how something so teeny tiny can have a heart.

@ally62442 how far are you did they say? Have they given you a due date? Glad you could see the heartbeat nothing more reasssuring than seeing the heartbeat ❤️ has anyone else had a early scan? How many weeks was you with early scan?xx

@dmc23 I have one booked for tomorrow evening. I am counting down the hours!! I will be 7 weeks 1 day at the scan (going off my last period) x

Hey All... did anyone have high blood pressure pre-pregnancy and is currently medicated? iv e been monitoring my bp as switched to Methyldopa and it seems to have dropped way down to the lower side of normal... also my pulse rate seems to be quote low... 69bpm... This seems to be steady and not rising or falling... seeing the midwife next Wednesday so that will be on my list of queations.

Six weeks tomorrow and still don't feel pregnant. Odd cramp but nothing unmanageable. Boobs no longer sore, no sickness. Heart rate has dropped from 71 to 64 now - still higher than previous non-preg RHB but going down all the time.

Half tempted to try another orgasm because even though it was agony it was different (and therefore a little reassuring).

My first appointment isn't till mid September. And I have no idea what to expect at it (sod all info online)

@Ally I am 6 weeks tomorrow.

@Fairfax I think try not to worry. Everyone is different. Think of thise women who don't realise until later. Im sat here like HOW did they not know but equally maybe they just never had symptoms. My friend ran a marathon at 8 weeks- no way can I even contemplate 5km right now.

On my paper work it just says 5/6 weeks. So I'm just a little under 6 I think @dmc23

@Loosemoose28 that make sense for are little beans to be measuring the same then as I'm somewhere between 5-6.
