[My3boys9910]

Keep making lots of seperate threads for differant questions...So thought a thread for all angles would be good for anyone else whos pregnant and wants to chat at any time throughout their journey 😊 Im 5 weeks with number 4!I have 3 boys already X

Thanks Mrsbaker80. Not planning anything as strenuous as boot camp but would love to so something. I'm already a tad overweight having not fully shifted the Christmas weight is just back from a week in Spain (I ate so much bread).

I know if the sickness kicks in I'll be hitting the carbs hard. Even at this point I can't believe how hungry I am!!

@Staceymado04 congrats! Hope your scan goes well!!

Congrats @Staceymado04 i had a bit of confusion with apps & clear blue digitals with how far i would be...I was 6 weeks yesterday...counted forward on my calender to 40 weeks & my due date would be 31st of october?...But NHS due date calculator said 7th of nov...i put in cycle days too?...I have long 34 day cycles...So im a week infront of the norm that the doctors go by...Very confusing...My last clear blue said 3+ last period was 25th january...Supposedly ovulated on the 12th of febuary...🤷‍♀️ good luck on your early scan.X

Well guys...i couldnt hold back (major impulsivity and anxiety) i booked in for a last min scan today...I am 6 weeks...yolk sac present gestational sack present singleton pregnancy fetal heartbeat present!! 😍 So reassured now...can settle until 12 week scan.

@My3boys9910 oh sussing our dd is very confusing isn’t it. I’m hoping my early scan on Monday will help a little. Have you been experiencing and symptoms? I’ve been struggling with cramp like period pains in lower tummy and back today is this normal? I never felt anything like this with my first. I’m starting to feel little anxious something could be wrong but also trying to rationalise with myself that it’s completed normal xx

@My3boys9910
Wow!! Glad to hear all was well with your scan and that everything was okay. I’m hoping mine is all okay on Monday xxx

@My3boys9910 so pleased your scan went well! Was it an abdominal scan or internal?

I'm keen for an early scan but 8 weeks seems to be the minimum for a private viability scan here so 3 long weeks to wait.

@Staceymado04 i have so many pains...ovaries get sharp pains when i stretch...sneeze or move to quick...ive had 3 caesareans...so im thinking its that...my first 2 boys i didnt feel any pain really...No sickness with my 1st son...Hypremesis constant vomitting everyday with my 2nd son...3rd son all the pelvic and ovarie pain started so early...on/off nausea and vomitting...but no sore boobs...This is my 4th and the pain is the same as my 3rd...But ive got really swollen sore boobs...i had breast implants 2 years ago so im thinking maybe now they are not as saggy and lifeless as they were im feeling the pains more lol aw im sure your scan will be fine...I suffer bad with anxiety...Always have.I understand...Thats why i just had to get a scan...@Jinglebells321 thankyou she done abdominal and could only see gest sac & yolk sac...So done an internal & saw the embryo and tiny little flicker of a heart beat!Very small like a tiny white raisin...i saw someones scan on here who was 6+6days and it looked a lot bigger than mine at 6 weeks wondering if 6 days makes such a big differance in growth..That made me worry.Its like you just make yourself suffer...i cant stop myself...worry worry worry...need to chill...promised myself i wouldnt be like this this time round...She was happy to do it at 6 weeks...but explained i may not see anything yet...i think its just not to worry ppl...so they prefer to do it at 8 weeks...

Hi all, I've just had a positive test. Due Nov 10th :)

Hi @jess1T I'm the same! So exciting

Welcome and congrats ladies on your BFPs, so exciting.
Awwww My3boys9910, what a lovely scan picture so glad it went well. I’ve been getting pains too, I’m guessing it’s stretching pains but still makes you anxious. Hopefully if all goes well I’ll be having a C Section this time around due to 2 traumatic delivery’s.
Hope everyone is feeling ok?. I had a night out last night (pre booked pre pregnancy), usually I’m life and sole of the party. Told everyone I was driving, as I had to go to work today (white lie) and sipped soft drinks Left at 10.45 as I was absolutely exhausted, had crazy insomnia and now feel like I have a hangover 😂.

Thank you @Sleepyquest and @Mrsbaker80 , I've booked my Gp appointment for Friday. What's everyone's symptoms so far? Morning sickness hasn't come to get me yet! Xx

@jess1T and @sleepyquest congratulations to you both. Hope your both doing well. I’ve had some symptoms a few before taking my pregnancy test I had a bit of nausea and since finding out I’m pregnant I’ve had some cramping like period pains in lower back and tummy. I feel bloated as the day goes on and my boobs were feeling sore last night. I’ve not had any sickness so fingers crossed I don’t. I didn’t with my first pregnancy either. Have you got any symptoms? Xx

Hi @Staceymado04 , I've got sore boobs the soreness varies from day to day at the mo, I've got the tiredness. And also had cramps in my lower tummy at times, is that normal to have? Xxx

Nausea has hit me hard today...heaving and mouth is watering...Tmi but having diorea cramps aswell...🙄 hope you guys are all good x

Aw @My3boys9910 I hope your symptoms don’t last too long for you. I have my scan later today (3pm UK time) and I’m really hoping all is okay. I’ve taken my other clear blue hoping it would have gone up to 3+ as I took the other one last Monday and it said 2-3 but after taking it this morning it still says 2-3 so I’m now worrying something is wrong😢. I’m hoping it’s not and all is fine and after tummy scan I can relax a little as I’m drying myself crazy!! Xx

Thanks @Staceymado04 good luck today...Just remember the test said 2-3 last week...but could of been 2!...And if it says 2-3 this week...it could mean 3...which is good!Update us please...Also if your early...you may not see anything...with my last son i had a scan at 5 weeks...and they could only see the yolk sack...so brought me back at 7 weeks and there he was with a strong heart beat...So try not to let it scare you X

Also this early on...you will prob have an internal scan...tummy scans dont pick much up in early weeks...mine showed an empty sack and nothing else...so they done an internal which saw the embyo & tiny flicker of a heart beat X

@My3boys9910 thanks for the reassurance, will definitely keep you updated. I’m going with the idea that nothing will be seen today as I think I’m probably not far gone enough. Keeping everything crossed tho. It’s hard Cos I can’t go by a missed period to work out my own dates as I didn’t even have a period after taking implant out. Xx

@Staceymado04 you will get reassurance one way or another today...I was the same...even if i was too early to see anything at least i knew it wasnt eptopic...or more further gone than expected...hope all has gone ok for you x

@My3boys9910 I’ve jus got back from my scan, turns out I am only around 3-4 pregnant so not much could be seen but she could see the sac which midwife said looked in the correct place and all looks as it should but the amount of weeks that I am. I feel better than I have seen it (even tho I couldn’t see much) but as you said I was convincing myself ( not sure why) that it was an ectopic pregnancy but I feel reassured that it’s not. She said to go back in 5 weeks if I want another early scan but I’m gonna try and relax now as I don’t think it’s doing be any good to be this anxious. Roll on the next 8-9 weeks for my 12 week scan. Hope your well xx

Aww @Staceymado04 so glad it went well.. and yes...try relax now (easier said than done) x

@Staceymado04 glad the scan went well!

So today I'm 5+4 and it's a significant milestone as 2 of my previous miscarriages were at 5+4 so relieved to get this out of the way.

Next milestone is 6 weeks which is when my 3rd MC occurred. Once I get to 6 weeks I'll retest and all looking well will tell DH and book in for an early scan at 8 weeks.

Symptoms wise, the sore boobs are gone but I'm shattered today and have a yucky taste in my mouth.

Planning an early night tonight!
