Hi every one I would love to join I will 6 weeks tomorrow and I'm due 11th November. I am getting my first scan when I'm 7 weeks 1 day, just having a reassurance scan as we had two losses last year.

AcatcalledGary · 17/03/2019 09:33

@AcatcalledGary welcome! It’s super friendly and chatty here. We also h e a closed FB group if you’re interested

@FirstTimeMama91 awwww thats really sweet! Is it first grandchild for both sides?

@Mimi0318 Hi! Glad you could join us Flowers

FirstTimeMama91 · 17/03/2019 09:35

@bumblingalonghappily I told them a few days ago when I was only 4 weeks exactly lol i couldn't keep it from them any longer than that!

FirstTimeMama91 · 17/03/2019 09:35

@Mintypea5 what's the closed FB group called?

AcatcalledGary · 17/03/2019 09:36

Thank you. Regarding telling parents I thought mother’s Day would be a great time to tell my mam (and means I can get a ‘future nana’ related present) however I am a bit nervous as I’ll only be 7 weeks and she would be devastated if I lost it. So now I’m in two minds.

FirstTimeMama91 · 17/03/2019 09:39

@Mintypea5 first grandchild on my side and will be 3rd grandchild on my DH's side. So exciting ❤️

Mintypea5 · 17/03/2019 09:44

Facebook group for anyone who wants to join! It doesn’t show anything on your profile
www.facebook.com/groups/810119422687398/?ref=share

@AcatcalledGary Could you get an earlybscan to reassure you a bit so you can still tell on mother’s day?

@FirstTimeMama91 awww that’s lovely! This will be 3rd on my side and 7th on DHs (6 not including my eldest as he’s a step grandchild to them but they treat him like their own so they’d call it 7)

AcatcalledGary · 17/03/2019 09:45

@firsttimemama91 same here! My mam has wanted to be a nana for aaaages, we’ve been together 12 years and she’s probably been dropping hints for about 8 of those lol

AcatcalledGary · 17/03/2019 09:46

@mintypea5 I could but I’ll be 7 weeks from last period so technically only about 5-6 weeks since conception so not sure a heartbeat would be detecte by then? I’ve mentioned it to DH and he says it will be a waste of money and to just tell my mam. I keep asking if he’s thought about how we will tell his parents and he keeps saying ‘don’t know!’ Typical of him, so laid back.

AcatcalledGary · 17/03/2019 09:48

If I join the FB group it won’t show up on my profile, right? I don’t want anyone on FB knowing, especially this early!

Mintypea5 · 17/03/2019 09:53

@AcatcalledGary it shouldn’t do. I checked my profile and it only shows public groups not closed or private

I’ve had scans at 6 weeks (LMP) and seem heart beats. 7 it’s likely but not guaranteed if that’s any help? You could call a scan place and find out what they think?

AcatcalledGary · 17/03/2019 09:53

@Mintypea5 sorry just realised you already said it wouldn’t be public, I’ve just requested to join :-)

thumper59 · 17/03/2019 10:10

Morning ladies. No further cramping or brown discharge for me only that slight bit last night. Today just creamy as usual! Don't think I'm going to ring docs as by the looks of things the only time you will get sent for a scan or they worry is with red fresh blood and cramping of which I have neither. So will just see how we get on and have a scan in just under 2 weeks anyway. Still woke up exhausted and nauseous so that's something!

Mintypea5 · 17/03/2019 10:12

@thumper59 that’s good news. Hopefully time will fly by for your scan.

aimingfor2019 · 17/03/2019 10:37

Also requested to join the Facebook group.

The only people I've told are my husband and PT. Hoping to have my 12week scan at the beginning of May before we go on holiday and then announce when we get back, so I'll be 15 weeks. Might tell my sister and mum before then though.

I'm quite an anxious person and not sure I want the pressure of people knowing before I feel more confident that everything is going ok.

Aph413 · 17/03/2019 11:00

@aimingfor2019 I'm just like you, although our parents have been told because my last pregnancy ended at 6 weeks and we hadn't told anyone so this time I wanted their support.
I'm honestly hoping to make it last 20 weeks before I have to tell anyone else. Feeling very anxious and protective about the whole thing.

whohaa · 17/03/2019 11:16

Just found out I'm due on the 23rd of November.

Mintypea5 · 17/03/2019 11:44

@whohaa congratulations!

I don’t know what to do about telling work. I’ll be coming back from maternity leave 8 weeks pregnant. Last time I had a very difficult pregancy (major bleed at 14 weeks followed by bleeding pretty much every week and reduced movements) so was out a lot for appointments. So I don’t know if I should tell them as soon as i get back or wait until after my scan.

bumblingalonghappily · 17/03/2019 14:07

@Mintypea5 maybe try to see go how it goes, but the main thing is that you only tell work when you feel comfortable to. I know my school are planning teaching timetables for next year and they'll find it really hard to find a maternity cover teacher in a couple of months time, but I'm not going to tell them until I'm ready.

@whohaa congrats!! We have the same due date 😊😊 When did you find out?

Feelingsolow12345 · 17/03/2019 15:21

When you make sure you're still pregnant. There's no doubt that I am now haha. Still can't believe it.

No questioning that @feeling!
