Feb Bus pt 2 graduates

[BooMamaBear]

@professorastrocat - I said I'd set up a graduates group I'm tentatively on here though coz if the test at 11 is bad news I'll be back on a bus! Everything so far seems ok as the test this morning says 3 + weeks got the midwife appt tomorrow xx

Hmm no such pain @BooMamaBear just a very dodgy left hip that makes sleeping tricky! 🤔

When is your scan @Hhdxx ?

@professorastrocat next Friday 😱😱😱 so scared hahaha

Thank you for your lovely baby pics, they're gorgeous xxxx

Lost track so where is everyone up to? I'm 13+5 today next scan is 20 weeks on 19th May I'll be just short of 20 weeks tho!! Xxx

@BooMamaBear im only 4+5 😂 thinking of booking an early scan for reassurance but only if they'll let oh come. If not I'll wait i think

I've lost track a bit too, I think we're earliest ones @BooMamaBear, then there's at least someone every couple of weeks later after that. We're all between mid October to mid December, right?

I'm 12+3 today, my scan is next Thursday so will be 13+2, (with whatever adjustment they make!). Hoping for a nice clear scan pic by then 🤗 (then in the next moment just hoping everything is fine 😥)

By LMP I'm 10+3 which is how it's tracking on my app (my early scan a few weeks ago had me measuring 4 days behind) but for ease I'm just going with LMP/app date until I get the date from the 12 week scan - I finally have my booking in appointment next Tuesday (where I just hope I can get my meds sorted out!) Then my scan is on 28th April when I'm expecting to be somewhere between 12-13 weeks

@BooMamaBear according to the first day of my last period I'm 11 weeks today. But when I had my early scan then reckon I was 6 days behind which I'm a bit worried about xx

I’m 12+4 according to LMP, but 12+2 according to my early scan. I’ve got my scan tomorrow at 2 and I’ve convinced myself I’ve had a missed miscarriage. My head is not in a good place during this pregnancy!

I have a serious bump already though. My current bump is roughly the same size as my 25 week bump in my first pregnancy!!

Thanks for the updates girls! I'm
In maternity leggings already coz of my tummy! Its coz my stomach muscles are already knackered from having my DD! Xx

Are we all on 2nd babies? Xx

Could have written same post word for word @Needallthesleep, except for the dates (and there's not much in it there). My bump disappointingly is pretty flat when I lie down though...! 😂

Look forward to hearing good news about your scan tomorrow and seeing the picture. 😊

I'm 5+2 today. Got an early scan booked for 26th April when I'll be 7+4. Soooo far away 😩

Hope both your scans go well -it is difficult not to worry when you're still waiting! Now I've got to wait like 7 weeks til my next one anything could happen in that time!! Then I'll still only be half way thru with DD I had loads of scans after my 20 week ive but not sure if I will this time!
There's a new May bus setup but don't think there's and OGs on there! Xx

2nd DC for me.

I'm sure back in the mists of time when I was on a thread for my 1st pregancy with DD someone linked an open google document to the group chat that everyone on it could upload their stats - Username, EDD, previous DC, upcoming scan dates etc. It was a really useful reference to keep track of everyone as there were probably about 40-50 on that thread 0- obviously no idea how to set this up myself but maybe someone else is techy enough to do something similar for our group?

I'm also sort of following on the Due in Nov 2020 thread but it's so big I am struggling to really follow who's who. I really like that our minibus group feels a little more personal!

I'm the same I was on an early October babies thread but it was just too big so you don't really get to know people very well - I know I keep forgetting things on this thread but it's nice to have a group of people where we were all TTC at the same time and are only a couple of months apart!! Xxx

I'm on my first baby. Think I had 3 chemicals last year as had light positives. Took us 16 months for this little Bambino. We got referred to fertility clinic the day I found out I was pregnant (I didn't know till the evening), bit of a rollar coaster after finding out husband has a lot of abnormal sperm. It's so going to be worth the wait xxxx

Coz I've got PCOS i didn't have a period for 6 months and due to the genetic condition we had been referred for PGD (ivf but embryos tested for issues before re-implantation) and got our appointment but randomly had 1 period while we were waiting and found out the Friday before our appointment on the Monday that we were pregnant with DD that one time i ovulated in the whole 6 months while used protection in case we somehow we conceived our miracle baby! Looking back now I realise how naive I was first time round tho!! Xx

Hello,

I'm 8+2 with my first, going on my own guesswork, but I my lmp puts me at 8+6. Not that there's much in it! I have my first midwife appointment next Friday and no scan booked yet. It all just feels very surreal! I have bigger, tender boobs, fairly low level nausea and I am gaining weight everywhere due to the amount I'm eating to try and stay on top of the nausea.

A spreadsheet is a good idea, Could probably set this up if I ever got 5 mins.

I also am on late October thread but there's so many on it I've lost the plot a bit and much prefer this thread! Yes, @BooMamaBear this is my second child - there will be a 5yr 4m age difference.

This is my fourth 😳 made the mistake of watching one born every minute this morning, you'd think after three births id be prepared but it scared me a little 🤣 i joined the december thread but again, its so busy i cant quite keep up with it! And i thought the feb bus was a busy thread 🤣 how is everyone? My oh seems to think I'm being overly paranoid wanting an early scan but he's happy to if i want to...

I lose track of + days because I don't know what day we're upto anymore 😆 I just go by every Monday is another week so Monday coming I'll be 10 week. This will be my 2nd but DP's first. There'll be a 14 year gap between siblings 🤔

Hopefully it'll give the teen a better understanding why abstinence is the better option 😂😂

@Anon87

How are people telling family and friends? We're wanting to do it face to face whenever this lockdown is over and I keep getting waves of excitement over it. Any exciting/ cute announcements planned?

@Bumblebee413 We ordered a card off Etsy that said "what so you get the parents that already have everything?' and it had a big fold heart to scratch off which says "A grandchild" underneath. We got it for mother's Day but she isolates the week before so just had to post it through 😂 Super close friends and family have known very early.

Social media - I'll let him make the announcement, maybe 12-14 weeksish - I've done this before, let him have his moment x

@Anon87 i love the idea of letting him be the one to do any social media announcement. Dont think my oh would though hes not really big with anything like that, he barely goes on there.

@Hatepickinganame He only goes on to share political points or not to buy The S*n or every Christmas "happy birthday to my favourite fictional character" so it'll be a nice change for him to have something everybody can enjoy 😂😂
