Due March 2019- thread 2

[SoBoredOfWaiting]

Hi all! Thought I would start the next thread.
Currently 7 +4 and first scan on Monday- so excited!

We haven't told our parents yet @AssumeItWasSomethingClever but plan to tell my mum once I've had a scan. With OH parents it's going to be a little more difficult and will take a bit longer (they're not my #1 fan)

I'm sure your parents will be really pleased for you. And getting married at 20 weeks or not shouldn't make a difference? The sentiment is still the same

Hello! waves

Found out recently that no.2’s on the way, due end of March! Surprised and excited in equals measures, just trying not to panic!

A wedding at 20 weeks should be fine, you should be in that wonderful glowy stage. Plus so many beautiful professional photographs while pregnant, bonus maternity shoot!

Not planning on telling family till 12 week scan, want to have the photo for effect!

Congratulations and welcome @iamkahleesi and @LovelyFishy.

@AssumeItWasSomethingClever I would tell them when you feel ready, It'll have to come out eventually but there's no rush. My cousin managed to hide a twin pregnancy until she was 20 weeks!

Mother of Dragons 😁 @iamkahleesi and @LovelyFishy congratulations to you both!!

I agree @AssumeItWasSomethingClever tell them when you feel comfortable! They will not think you wasted their money you're still having your wedding and 20 weeks is a lovely time in pregnancy. I know its not how you planned but your baby will be born shortly after which is lovely! Good luck with the parents 🤞

Hey! Can I join, honeymoon baby here.
First month of trying,a scary shock.

Now just over 5 weeks and due 28th March.
1st baby.

Told my mum only for support.

@AssumeItWasSomethingClever we told our parents early as we made the decision that if the worst did happen and we lost the baby, we would want their support. Also it was quite poignant that we found out we were pregnant the same morning my DH's grandad passed away.
We did a family dinner and wore t-shirts announcing it, then filmed the moment. It was really special 😊

I am sure they will be so happy for you! Tell them when you feel it is the right time.

Ah, a honeymoon baby is so lovely! According to my dh ours is a World Cup baby - he's not going to let that one drop! Congratulations to everyone, it's so exciting!

@Funnybunnyfluff congratulations!

@iamkahleesi cue the barrage of footie themed baby names lol

Hi everyone! Hope it's ok to join, 5+2 with my 2nd. Has anyone here previously had spd? I had it from around 16 weeks before and ended up on crutches and signed off work unfortunately. Very nervous that this could happen again... interested to hear of anyone's experiences?
And congratulations everyone 🎉

The names have already started!

@thecherryontop With my previous pregnancy I was on crutches for 13weeks before DS was born. Work was absolute hell and as I was on crutches I couldn't carry anything and so taking notes etc to meetings was non viable except for huge rucksack that was not meant to be carried around through offices in first place.
Boss was horrid to me saying that everyone gets sore during pregnancy and aches and pains. Clearly she has never experienced anything half the amount of pain. Didn't see the point of crutches or my constant moaning and crying of her being unreasonable etc Being hormonal anyway during pregnancy and then adding extreme pain - I was just miserable towards the end.
Work then got really discriminating and I ended up being forced out far earlier than I intended to leave 5weeks before due date. I ended up pleading with midwives to be induced early and luckily due to movement concerns they agreed one week early. Such a huge relief to give birth and to be able to move without screaming in agony. Just to be able to lie down and get to loo without screaming was an absolute godsend. Yes there was the post birth pains but in comparison I was laughing.
Just hoping this time round I don't get it as bad as crutches and toddler don't mix!! Trying to take preventive measures like not spreading legs apart and getting in out of car and bed with legs together to try and minimise any spd. Will also start wearing brace as soon as I have any twinges (as annoying as it is) in the hope it may help and do something even though last time it didn't do anything.
Was referred to physio last time for some exercises that actually made me worse (Male physio didn't seeem to understand level of pain I was in) I was relying on my hubbie to pull me out of bed and haul me upstairs and generally to move.

@angel0071987 my experience was pretty similar.... as I was signed off work maternity started early, I was lucky enough to have a sweep and baby came 2 weeks early but was reliant on my husband to help move. Just wondered if anyone here had it return for a second time and if so how quickly it made an appearance?

On the one hand I'm wishing the first trimester away so I can relax a bit but on the other hand I'm worried that mobility could be minimal by then!

@iamkahleesi Ours is a World Cup baby too! The name Harry has already been thrown into the mix!

Think the nausea has started. Feel awful today. 5+4 weeks. I’m due to have an early scan next week at 6+weeks to see if it will be a viable pregnancy as I have been feeling anxious about every twinge 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m usually a practical and rational person!

@Sictransitgloria I've been feeling really sick off and on too. -Then when it stops I get worried! Can't win! Can I ask if your scan is a private one? -Like you I'm usually very rational but the more I read the more anxious I become so wondering if this would be a good option for me too.

Hello :) hope it's ok to join? I've just found out recently that we are expecting baby number 2 around 29th March! So I'm 5+2.

I had a private scan yesterday and nothing was seen so I'm worrying! Has anyone else had a scan so early?

Hi ladies. 5+2 and happy to be here! May I ask how long it's taken you to be referred to the hospital/hear anything? I told my GP which hospital on Tuesday and haven't heard anything but I've no idea how long it's supposed to be x

@thecherryontop @Bethaniee congratulations and welcome. I hope all is well for both of you. @Bethaniee early scans can be really tricky from what I've seen so try not to worry. Hopefully little one is just hiding out and will pop into view on the next one.

Welcome to those of you who have just joined us.

I had SPD in both my last pregnancies and reading both your experiences has freaked me out a bit, I think I’d blocked much of it out until now! What was I thinking!? My second pregnancy was worse than the first, I ended up on crutches around 20 weeks and in a wheelchair at the end.

Hi all I'm 7+2 and due 15th March I've had 2 scans so far due to bleeding and jellybean is all ok, this is number 4 for me but first with my new partner which is different for my as my other 3 were with my ex husband who I was with since I was 13

@thecherryontop yeah it is private. With ultrasound-direct. They have clinics all over the UK.

I was toying with the idea of an early scan and saw an old school friend did it which gave me the validation i needed lol. I had a mmc/blighted ovum at 11 weeks last year. I’m a very laid back person usually but wake up every morning thinking I’ll be bleeding/not pregnant any more. Also having nightmares. I just need to chill out. I come across as very together but underneath i’m fully crazy - like a duck on water!

@bethaniee did they offer you another scan?

I had a private scan last week when I was 8 weeks. All was fine thank goodness although it only took a few days for me start worrying again. I would advise trying to wait until you're 7 to 8 weeks just from previous experience at 6 weeks you can't always see a heart beat and that period of waiting between scans is just torture. I'm normally calm and rational too but these first 12 weeks of pregnancy is such a rollercoaster I can't wait to start enjoying the pregnancy.

@Bethaniee congratulations 🎉 yeah all should be fine it's better waiting to at least 6 weeks for an early scan and you may have the chance to see a heartbeat!

Welcome @thecherryontop and congratulations 🎉 that's awful the pain you went through last time and you too @angel0071987 And how hateful dealing with work in those circumstances. Really hoping you both don't suffer this time!

Hello everyone!
I found out that I am pregnant on Thursday evening. No idea how far along yet but at least 5 weeks. I am married but we weren’t trying. I’m so so happy, but my husband is still in shock and to be honest is being rubbish. He doesn’t want a baby, at least not right now, and is being moody and really unsupportive. I know he will be a great dad but the idea of him being like this for the next few weeks before we can tell people is upsetting me. I don’t expect him to do cartwheels but I feel like I can’t share my excitement. We are both 31, and own our house. For me this is the next step and I am ecstatic, but I feel like the one other person who should feel like me doesn’t. Just needed to say that to someone! Anyone else having similar experiences? Xx
