6 weeks pregnant with 3rd anyone want to keep in touch?

[lollipop124]

Ok so I'm 6 weeks pregnant with our third baby and I've never felt so lonely. Just wondered if anyone else is going through anything similar?

Let just say I don't have a very supportive family and I'm not a very confident person so I only have a few friends. Me and my husband have agreed not to tell my family as I have a terrible relationship with my mother and can't imagine anything positive would come from it. She lives her grandchild but thinks I'm incapable and Judges everything I do in life. We fell out big time at the beginning of the year about me rescuing a dog!!!

Anyway. This should be a happy time, I am so excited to be pregnant again and would love to chat to other mummy's to be and share symptoms/thoughts and feelings.

I'm going for an early scan next week (week7) as I have been on anti depressants and worried myself senseless about the baby. I have reduced my dosage with guidance from my doc but unsure whether to come off completely. Has anyone else had these worries or pregnant and on antidepressants?

Sorry this turned out a lot longer then I thought it would be

Hope to chat soon x

Hey! Congratulations
I'm 6 weeks on Saturday with my first
I'm lucky to have supportive family now they've come round to the idea of a baby out of wedlock (they're very traditional) but I've not told many friends yet so I also feel a bit lonely. The friend I have told has been great but I'm still so worried about telling anyone else and talking about it since I'm still so early

Hi,

Congratulations on your pregnancy . I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant with our first so slightly further along but I'm feeling quite lonely also.

Fortunately we do have great support from family but I don't really have many friends so it would be lovely to have people in the same situation to talk with x

I'm somewhere between weeks 5 and 6, not sure exactly. This will be my 2nd child, but 4th pregnancy, so I'm very, very nervous about it as I've lost 2 this year, 2020 isn't a great year!!
I've told my parents and 1 of my friends, but other than that, I've avoided telling anyone. Just don't want to get my hopes up so much!
I'm sorry your mum is so bad. I hope things get better for you, loads of us will say the same, but always here if you need a chat!

Congratulations!! How are u feeling? Have you had any morning sickness. It feels so hard to keep it a secret, my bump is already starting to show already, guess that's normal for a 3rd. I am so glad that your family have come round. Mine are very traditional too. We had our first before we were married and to be honest a lot of people to now. Always here to chat if you need to x

@lollipop124 thank you! I've had no sickness so far, a bit of mild nausea but I put that down to eating too much😂 main symptoms are tiredness, cramps and pelvic aches, always hungry, food aversions, sense of smell is mad and my nipples literally kill haha. Other than that I'm still awaiting my fresh delivery of morning sickness. I think I just know it's too good to be true at the moment and I'm overdue some nausea. How are you feeling?

Thankyou so much. I am so sorry you have had such a rubbish year so far but maybe now it's changing for the better? What week are you having your first scan? Is it possible for you to have an early scan to reassure you? X

25 weeks wow!!! Congratulations! Do you know what your having ? It's such a precious time, you want to chat about it and share it with people. I find talking about it makes it feel more real! Always free for a chat x

@meeemaw with my first pregnancy I never had any sickness but with my second I did( wel just nausea) you might be lucky and not get any sickness, that would be a dream!
Are you going to find out the gender?
Do you feel like time is going so slowly? Normally life just flies but the last few weeks have been the longest! Lol x

@lollipop124 I can always wish! My mum had awful sickness with both me and my brother so I think if it has anything to do with genetics then I'm in for a treat soon 😂
Yeah I definitely want to find out the gender. I've got a scan booked for 8 weeks as an early reassurance scan. Mainly booked it as I want my partner to be there for the first one and NHS still isn't allowing partners in for the dating scan. If all goes well with that I'll book a private gender scan at 16 weeks rather than wait for the 20 week NHS one. Do you think you'll find out? What do you already have and what are you hoping for?
I feel like times going SO slow! I just want to get to 12 weeks so I've got the scary first trimester out the way but I'm trying to enjoy each day!

@meeemaw yes I'm doing the same as you. Got my reassurance scan next week and hoping to also book a gender reveal scan at 16 weeks.
I'm the most impatient person! Lol I have a little boy who's 5 and a little girl who's 3. I DJ t really mind what we are having I just need to know! Hate waiting.
I wonder what the actual birth will be like with the COVID stuff going on. Have you had any ideas on what sort of birth you would like? X

@lollipop124 where have you booked your reassurance scan? I've seen quite a few places but went with meet your miracle in the end.
Yeah I'm happy either way! Ideally would like a girl but have a really strong feeling it's a boy. My partner is convinced we're having a girl. As long as it's healthy I'm happy!
Yeah I was looking into the situation with birth earlier and that partners are only allowed in for the "proper" labour and not for the whole thing which is worrying but hopefully will change by April. I have no idea about the birth yet, I'll come up with a birthing plan and have always said I'll try and do just gas and air until I really can't take it anymore but I imagine that'll change pretty quickly 😂

@lollipop124 I haven't booked one yet, I'm trying to wait it out as long as possible. Keep thinking if I get myself through to week 7 then ring up and explain what happened, they may let me have an early scan, but I'm not 100% sure they will, may have to pay for one. Just don't want a scan too early... I dunno. Scary!
