Any BPFs out there?

[Floralgizelle]

So my DH and i have been trying for baby no. 2. I got my BPF on Thursday, im only 4 weeks so found out the earliest possible time!! I'm so excited but also a little worried before we concieved our first child we suffered a miscarriage (2015). We made the mistake of telling everyone really early and then endured quite a hard time having to tell people we we're no longer pregnant. Ive obviously shared the news with DH but dont really have anyone else to talk to about my excitment/worry. Im sure time will drag until 12 weeks so just wondering if theres anyone out there in the same position (not ready to share news with family/friends but looking for others to share excitement/worries)?

Morning

How is everyone doing?

We told both sets of our parents yesterday and they were all thrilled.
Mother in law was the best reaction as she was genuinely shocked and ecstatic. 7 years ago when we told her we were engaged she didnt react much so it was nice to get such a big reaction from her.
I could tell my mum had guessed already so we thought it would just be easier to tell them rather than try and bat away her comments.
It was so lovely to tell them and as we said to them if anything happens we would want their support anyway.
They have all been sworn to secrecy as we arent telling anyone else until after first scan.

We have booked a private scan for 14/7 so 3 weeks today! I just want to see a hearbeat so I can relax a bit more.

We told our immediate family aswell, we would prefer the support if anything were to go wrong. Found out my cousin who im pretty close to is a week in front of me but shes had a few scare so hasnt told anyone else. Im in a bit of a dilemma about my friends wedding, im a bridemaid and wont be showing so it will make no different other than i cant drink,dont know whether to tell her or if she will think im trying to take focus off her day, obviously would only tell her not anyone else but shes been quite hard work as a bride so i would have previously said she would he over the moon for me but now im not sure. Just wondering whether i keep my mouth shut and not say anything until 12 week scan.

I am bridesmaid next month for my sister in law. We are not telling her until after the wedding as didnt want to take away from her day despite the fact i know she will be so happy.
In regards to drinking i dont think she will even realise as she will be so wrapped up in the day.
If its whilst getting ready and someome questions it then I will say too early to drink and once its during the wedding i think it will be easier as DH can drink the champagne and I can say I am drinking Gin and Tonic but have soda water or something.

Yeah think this is the route we will go down not a big drinker anyway so wouldnt seem out if the ordinary for me to turn down an alcoholic drink. Counting down the days until my booking appointment 2 weeks tomorrow, wish the time wouldnt drag as much.

Hows everyone getting on?

Heya so far as good. 6 weeks today! I am so happy to reach each week milestone.
Tiredness is really starting to kick in now and constantly bloated so brought some stretchy trousers as I cant stand wearing jeans at the moment.

How about you?

Also 6 weeks today! DW is quite nauseous and not sleeping well but otherwise no worrying symptoms. One week one day til the scan!

I was 6 weeks yesterday, really tired and got an awful cough which is killing me at the minute. Just counting down to each milestone.oh wow thats coming round keep us updated with how it goes.

So exciting @hillsandvalleys! Let us know how it goes.

Went to my GP this morning and he told me the antibiotics I have been taking (as i was told by nurse they were safe) arent safe to take and shouldnt have taken them. Made me extremely stressed today. He is asking for a referral to EPU but may take a couple of weeks.
In the meantime he is sending me for a blood test Monday and Wednesday next week to check if my HCG is doubling as he said would be a good indicator.
Fingers crossed be ok.

Oh no @Wishing56 ! That's so scary.... I'm sure it's fine though, usually precautionary so hopefully won't be a problem. Let us know

Found out today I have a job interview in the afternoon after the scan... I'm going to be a nervous wreck all day if anything goes wrong in the scan there's no way I'm going to be able to focus on the interview!

@hillsandvalleys what an exciting and nervous time you have coming up! Fingers crossed for both the scan and the interview.

Just been to the toilet its light pink when I wipe (sorry tmi). Got quite a few cramps too. Really hope this is nothing. Think I will have to call the GP again in the morning

Thanks @Wishing56

Hope you get some reassurance from the GP tomorrow, probably no point saying to try not to worry as I'm sure you're worried sick. Just remember spotting is very common, just gotta take it all one day at a time and keep as hopeful as you can

Being sent by GP up to A&E for assessment and hopefully a quick scan. Just waiting for my DH to get home and then going to go there.
Fingers crossed!

Hope everything goes well wishing, we had an early scan yesterday as ive been spotting. 6 weeks exactly yesterday, yolk sac and fetal pole but too small to see a heartbeat (only did an abdominal scan) got a re scan in 2 weeks such a long wait and now i keep thinking the worse because there was no heartbeat. Hopefully everything goes ok, keep up updated and know your not alone. Thinking of you

Good luck for your job interview and scan hill :) very anxious day for you, your nerves will be shot by the end of the day.

Im so bad at remembering who put what when replying sorry its a bit all over the place.

Fingers crossed for you in 2 weeks @Floralgizelle sounds like it all looked as it should at this stage which is a good sign. DW says symptoms have gone today so who knows what that means. I think it's supposed to be quite normal

@Wishing56 how have things been today? Did you speak to the doctor?

3 hours at A&E and just got home. Saw the gynaecologist and he is fairly happy its just normal early pregnany symptoms as my cervix is closed and there is no blood at the cervix.

Got bloods on monday and Wednesday to check my HCG so hopefully they will show ok. Just a waiting game now.

Floral that sounds right for a 6 week scan so sounds like everything is going in the right direction.

This pregnancy stuff is emotionally draining!

Hope you are both ok and enjoy the hot weather this weekend

Its all such a worry, pleased all is as it should be wishing. Let us know how your bloods go. Thank you hills, yeah my symptoms seem to have come to a bit of a halt, just think you analyse everything dont you. At least we're all in this together and have each other for advice and reassurance. :)

Apart from the cramps I had yesterday, my normal symptoms have gone. No sore boobs, bloating etc. Think its normal for 6 weeks and then other symptoms may start (such as the dreaded morning sickness!)

DW has had a fair amount of nausea already... poor thing!! Lots of crackers but worried about if it gets worse because she has a long commute along the motorway. Not sure what will happen if she needs to be sick.

I agree @Floralgizelle it's really reassuring to follow along with others at the same stage and lovely to hear how you're all getting on. To think we could still be posting in 9 months time m with little babas in our arms is just such a crazy thought!

Really hope so, its actually quite rare to be able to share so many little details as you feel like people who arnt preganant youd just annoy them but for people at the same stage its quite different. Maybe some bags in the car just incase. I struggled with my mcdonalds today while out... this is NOT like me at all. Its bitter sweet though, on one hand you have symptoms which is a good sign, on the other you feel sick.

Definitely agree. Its great to be able to message on here and get advice (and offload our worries).

Went for my first HCG blood test this morning. Got the next one on Weds. Really hoping levels have doubled.
I am petrified of needles so struggling with all these blood tests. My DH keeps saying just think what they are for...all good for him to say when he hates blood and wont come with me!

Hope your blood test shows some good results today wishing, my DH is exactly the same and almost faints even though its my arm they are using as a pin cushion.
Good luck tomorrow hill, let us know how you get on.

Just got the results
Mondays - 35607
Todays - 54365

GP hasnt reviewed the results yet so hopefully they will call me tomorrow. According to a google search when they are high they may not double every 48hours and should be around 60% increase (i am just under 60%).

Fingers crossed the fact they are so high indicates everything is ok.
I go on holiday on Friday and would love to just know everything is ok.

Good luck tomorrow Hills for both the scan and the interview! Let us know how it goes.

They've certainly gone up so hopefully thats a good sign and hopefully you get to find out before you go away nothing worse than the unknown and worrying about what ifs.
