Due November 2019 Continued

[Miller2]

This is a continuation of the previous thread since we are coming up to the 1000 post limit.

Isn't it interesting how we all have different ways of doing things - it's great to be on a thread like this just to see all the variety :)
I think I'm going to go with waiting for my private scan which is 6th April and then if that's all ok we'll tell parents and possibly grandparents (my Nana is 95 so really REALLY want to give her good news) and then wait for the 12 weeks for other close family and friends.

@rharri91 I think it would be easier if we were going out for a meal as I could take the car and say I had been out the night before etc but as I am staying at her house it makes it harder.

@Unsureursula its a tricky one lol

@TheGruffalosLoveChild I have been going to the gym but I will scoff down the nachos and fajitas that she's making so not sure that would
wash. Just going to play it by ear and see how i feel next week 😀

@thumper59 I am the same haha never been known to have a sober night out lol was so much easier when we didn't live 37 miles apart

@cakeordeath89 I don't think we will tell the parents until we have had a scan and know all is ok, for my folks its their first grandchild so want to be 100% sure before saying

Hello can I please join your thread? I'm 6w6d due 7/11 but I've been very apprehensive about doing anything that might jinx this pregnancy as I've had 3 MCs since having ds who is now 3. However I had an early scan yesterday and everything is looking good so I'm feeling cautiously optimistic Looking forward to hearing your stories. Is anyone else feeling as sick as a dog?!

I'm the opposite to some.... I've told no one because if I had another miscarriage (had one in Nov) I wouldn't want my close family to be upset so I wouldn't want them to know. My situation is a bit different as mum has stage 4 cancer so all she needs is positivity and a focus in life, she didn't know about my MMC as I felt it would be very selfish of me to tell her just so I had more support, I just told her I had flu and shut myself away with DH for a week until I was able to put a brave face on for the time I saw her.

If all goes to plan our 12 weeks will be a few days before our first wedding anniversary so it seems a good time for announcements xx

Also I can't tell my job as I would be immediately restricted from my day to day duties and the whole world would know! That's the hardest part because I'm having to be quite creative with how I do my job at the minute and call in quite a few favours! 😂

@tigsyboo That's very selfless and thoughtful of you to go through that without your mum. I'm sorry to hear about your MMC. I completely understand your reasons for not wanting to reveal.
Keep everything crossed that you get to 12 weeks and can share the wonderful positive news with your mum x

If you don't mind me asking what kind of job puts you straight on to restrictive duties?

Sorry to read about your mum @tigsyboo

@Lozzlepop it's so hard in those one to one situations! I had my best mate call me out the second she clocked me drinking juice but like the others have said, she's someone I'd need if it didn't go to plan and it's actually quite nice to have someone getting excited with me!

@FirstTimeMama91 I swear these have been the longest weeks of my life!!

@cakeordeath89 mine would immediately put me on different duties and I work in adult care.

I’ve only told my closet friends as I’ve had a few miscarriages and the heartbreak of having to tell family / work about that was awful.

We’re going to tell DH work if everything’s ok after our early scan because we have a night out planned and I can’t be bothered to lie about why I’m not drinking. We won’t tell family until after the 12 week. Partly in case it goes wrong as I’ve had miscarriages at 10/11 weeks and also because my sil hush had a baby so don’t want to steal her thunder.

I’ll tell my work after 12 week scan ... sure they’ll be thrilled as I’m only coming g back from maternity in 2 weeks (I’ll be 8 weeks!)

My views on it are tho tell people who you’d want to support you if the worst happened but don’t tell the whole world toonwalru because having to say over and over again I’m not pregnant anymore is soul destroying

@Aph413 Ahhh I guess that makes sense. I'm guessing there's lots of jobs where there's risks involved not just the obvious ones.
I'm fortunate to be in a job where I doubt they'll make much in the way of amendments/changes to duties.

@LittleAndOften our dates are v Close- I’m 6wks 6days and EDD is 6/11!
Feeling so sick today, it only stops when I’m actually eating but after I just have waves of nausea. Really not feeling good and honestly feeling a bit sorry for myself lol!

Ah thanks guys.
Focus shifts when you're dealing with illness like that. I wouldn't do a thing to make her anything other than happy, there was nothing she could do to change it or stop it and so I saw no reason to give her any upset. She'd bloody kill me if she knew I kept it from her. The only person who knew was my sister, and only because she's a nurse at the hospital I went to for my erpc surgery and saw me in the day patients waiting room (the first time in three years she had been in there it turns out!!). I felt bad she found out like that but that was unavoidable bad luck!

I'm a police detective, so although I'm not running into pub fights etc anymore like in my uniform days, I still have to deal with people who don't necessarily want to see me 😂😂
Luckily many in my job love the confrontation and drama but hate the paperwork... so it's not too hard to stay in the office by volunteering for the desk based stuff x

Hi all just to let you know once this reaches 1000 it will not let anyone post. It's very close to that limit

@rharri91 omg I know! Roll on 12 week scam!!

@tigsyboo fingers crossed for you and your Mummy!

Shall we start a Due November continued part 2

A police detective is certainly a good reason for light duties! :)

Yes @Mintypea5 do you know how to do it and add link? I don't

I was just in the middle of that. Hope noone minds

@TheGruffalosLoveChild let me know if you find travel insurance that covers unborn babies! I’m in a similar dilemma with an epic trip the Canada then Ireland on the way back home for a wedding in August when I’ll be late 20s weeks.

Morning all

I'm currently 5+2 with my first. I'm having some really bad dizzy spells with some fluttery heart sensations. I've read that this can be normal but i'm still panicking about it. The lightheadedness is bad enough that i'm not driving at the moment, and I can't go out running or exercise like I normally do. Earlier I had to steady myself on the stairs and sit down. The dizziness actually started before I got my BFP and it's getting stronger. Has anyone else experienced this?

@beebear22
I've been feeling similar - just trying to keep reminding myself this is what we've waited for and to 'enjoy it' as much as possible! People wish for these symptoms so I feel lucky ☺️

In state of shock , 5 week gestation ( 7 weeks pregnant) scan showed one heartbeat and another baby no heart beat and much smaller , we only had one embryo transferred so it was 10,000 to one that that one embryo split to twins, does anyone have experience of no early heartbeat and later finding heartbeat ? Tbh we can’t afford or cope with twins so bit freaked out it might be
