I hit 7 weeks today. It also marks the first day of not feeling "hungover" I feel surprisingly fresh. Also the first time in 3 weeks that I have slept uninterrupted without needing to go to the loo 4/5 times in a night!

I hope you are all feeling well?

10 more days until our early scan!

SenoraSurf · 07/12/2018 12:08

@vixy1988 I'm so jealous of you right now. I'm off work today as I feel so rough! I'm a week behind you so your fresh feeling at 7 weeks is giving me hope xx

vixy1988 · 07/12/2018 12:14

@SenoraSurf the past week has been horrendous. I have never felt so bad so I welcomed my feeling today! You will have a better day soon!

What has really helped is crackers and also ice lollies McCain plain fruit ones

Back from EPU, there is an intact gestation sac with a small embryo and a yolk sack and even a heart beat. She said I was about 5+ weeks, and I think I was about 5+6 today. CRL is tiny (2.1mm) but she did the scan abdominal and I couldn't keep my belly still as I was breathing so hard with shock.

This is the furthest I've got in 7 years and to see a flicker of a heartbeat was amazing, however I realise that I have a long way to go and given my history I'm trying not to get too happy.

I've got another NHS scan booked in for 3 weeks, but I've just booked a local private scan for 22nd as I can't bear the thought of not knowing over Xmas. I'd rather know so I can get my head together when I go back to EPU.

Sorry if that sounds a bit mad.

I still have hardly any symptoms, except pain and cramping, a watery mouth and that's about it, but I am more than willing to put up with the discomfort if all continues to go well. Smile

milly2000 · 07/12/2018 13:25

@UnicornDust17 that sounds really positive ! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

QueenofFox · 07/12/2018 13:44

@UnicornDust17 that's amazing news. Keeping everything crossed and glad you've got another scan relatively soon.
Desperate to get my scan date now!

Whoopsies · 07/12/2018 13:45

@UnicornDust17 That sounds really positive. Great they could see a heartbeat so early on. I really hope it all stays well for you.

I'm 5 weeks today and it seems to be going so slowly!!

IrishCypriot · 07/12/2018 14:25

@UnicornDust17 that's amazing news. Keeping everything crossed for you for 22nd as well.

(Including my legs! Is anyone else's bladder just taken the path of least resistance these days?? I thought that didn't happen for ages yet!)

@Whoopsies I cannot bear how slow the time is going!! I'm 5+6 now I think. Feel like I'm further along with all the symptoms!

Notanotherpawpatrol · 07/12/2018 14:28

Hi all, the antenatal thread is really quiet, so I thought I'd join in over here if that's ok? I'm 5-6 weeks pregnant with baby number 5. In all honestly I'm still in shock. Feeling so tried and am sat on the sofa feeling so sick 🙄

EverythingNow · 07/12/2018 15:42

Great news @unicorndust17! So pleased for you!

Welcome @notanotherpawpatrol. I'm 5+4 with number 4.

Ninunina · 07/12/2018 18:19

Great news @UnicornDust17! Hoping that seeing a heart beat so early on is a very good sign.

@Notanotherpawpatrol welcome! I'm pregnant with a surprise baby too. I'm calling my bean my kinder surprise. This will be baby #3 if all goes well. I'll be coming to you and @EverythingNow for adjusting to life with more kids than hands.

mrsof20118 · 07/12/2018 21:19

Amazing news @UnicornDust17. My next scan is a private one on 22nd too.

Nausea has arrived today. I'm hungry then when the food arrives I can barely touch it. Things I really enjoyed before are putting me off food altogether!

Kileah18 · 07/12/2018 21:21

How’s everyone feeling tonight?
I’m tired & grumpy.. only symptoms I’m really experiencing are tiredness & nipples are a little sensitive, nausea has kinda gone away I think it was down to nerves of getting a BFP! It’s weird I don’t feel pregnant. I’m 5w 2days today x

Kileah18 · 07/12/2018 21:22

@mrsof20118 I was typing as you posted!
I have an early scan booked for 23rd, how many weeks are you? I’m worrying about everything 😔

EverythingNow · 07/12/2018 21:36

Anyone else unreasonably tired? Had a nap already this evening and about to go to bed now!

UnicornDust17 · 07/12/2018 21:48

@EverythingNow yes, I dozed off on the sofa!!

Thanks for all your wishes x

dragonmummy17 · 07/12/2018 21:50

@UnicornDust17 that's amazing! I'm so pleased for you
@EverythingNow I'm glad you feel better

@Kileah18 i don't feel pregnant either apart from the huge bloat every night.

Notanotherpawpatrol · 07/12/2018 21:51

Totally unreasonably tired 😒 I've fallen asleep twice today and am sat watching I'm a celeb and thinking actually I'd rather be in bed 🙈
