Is anyone else due on the 22nd may 2021?

[lenny12345]

Looking for someone to chat too? I'm due on 22nd of may by the online calculators.

Just wanted to speak with someone who's just found out their expecting too?

Feeling very anxious due to previously having misscarriages

I ring up and the nurse specialist knows me from going with my last two children to be checked a few times. I think most areas you can ring directly and in e you say you've had an exotic they book you in from 5.5 weeks.

It's nice to meet everyone!

@RustyCat & @Serz88 I'm in Essex as well, just by Stansted!

@dreamingofsunshine12 I'm so sorry to hear about your history but congratulations!! I'm super nervous as well due to my 2 prev mmc and my diabetes. You can get an eary viability scan from about 6 weeks + - I've got mine booked in for the 22nd Sept and I'll be around 8 weeks at that point. Just speak to EPU and they can sort it for you :)

Did you have to register or book in first?

@dreamingofsunshine12 depends on your area I think. I just ring up and she books me in.

@Bea11 I thought the same about menopause! It’s easy to see how you could mistake the symptoms for it.

Welcome all the new joiners - it’s mad how many of us there are!

@SweetpeaOrMarigold that sounds grim, hopefully you don’t get HG with this pregnancy too.

Sickness hasn’t hit here yet, just vague nausea at times. I seem to be worse with symptoms in the evenings (more tired, more crampy, less appetite).
Falling asleep on the sofa here which is very unlike me, but we are on holiday so maybe I’m just relaxing (something I’m terrible at!)

@Emleighh no way! That's literally up the road from me too 🤣 such a small world!

The dreaded bloating has got me now 🤣 DH said I have a little pot belly and it looks weird as I don't normally have one. Charming chap he is!

VERY EXCITED LADIEES!!!

I've been feeling anxious all day today, so took a digital to make sure it was still at 2-3 weeks. I had drank a whole bottle of juice on my way home from work so fully expected this to come back at 1-2 and had gone for a wee around a hour half ago but I was happy if I even still got the pregnant on there in my head. I THEN GOT THIS!!!!!

@lenny12345 excellent!! 😄 xx

@Evey43 thank you so much!! This is the first time my body has ever done this!! Really hope next week my early scan goes okay. How are you doing? Xxxx

@lenny12345 not too bad thank you, just waiting for my early scan to but not til 8th October 😫 when I’ll be a day off 8 weeks. Feels like forever!

I am so excited for you! I will keep everything crossed for next week 😊 xx

@lenny12345 that's great! Very happy for you

@Evey43 is that the earliest you can do a scan? I think I will also do one, no way I'll be waiting until 12 weeks for the routine one. It's too long

@lenny12345 what a brilliant photo to see! It's all going in the right direction. I have everything crossed for you x

@Catisa I’m not sure, I’ve been going through IVF and they do a scan at 7 weeks as standard (I think) before discharging you to GP/midwife. I’m sure you can ring a private scan clinic and ask, you’ll definitely be able to get in before 12 weeks. NHS I wouldn’t have thought so unless there’s an issue. How many weeks are you? Xx

@Evey43 ok I see, thank you for the info. I will definitely call to see when it can be done. I am 4 weeks, very early stages! But it doesn't stop me from being anxious already!
I wish everything goes well on your side :)

@Catisa I get it, I’m 5 weeks tomorrow and feel exactly the same. Hope all goes well for you too 😊 xx

I’m 5 weeks yesterday, due 21st May ‘21. Had 2 early MC but feeling 3rd time lucky 🍀🥰

Hi ladies, how are we all feeling this morning?

Also, who here is going to book a private early scan? And if so - which week of pregnancy?

@CharlieD2020 I kept going between wanting one at 6 weeks, ASAP to find out if the pregnancy is viable and 8 weeks to leave until the day before we tell our parents (telling them on FIL's birthday). Will probably split the different and got for 7 weeks and 5 days which is 3 weeks today

Thinking 7 or 8 weeks which is 3 or 4 weeks time.

Sent my midwife booking form in on Monday and not heard anything back yet, I’ll chase it up next week.
Weirdly it didn’t ask about dates (eg LMP) on the form; just if you were over 12 weeks.

How’s everyone feeling today?

Hello ladies, feeling ok on my side, tired, woke up at 2am and spent 2h awake... luckily is Friday!
What about you?
Also thinking about doing a scan at 8 weeks, to check everything is going as it should

I haven’t yet decided on whether to have an early scan. I think I will get to 6 weeks and make a decision then. Last pregnancy was IVF so the 6 week scan was done as part of the procedure.

Seems that all the midwife referrals are different depending on the trust? Been reading about self referrals, but when I phoned the gp they booked me a telephone appointment with the midwife at 6 weeks.

Hello everyone congratulations on your BFP! I’m due 06.05.2021 I had a private scan at 6 weeks 2 days and seen a little heart beat :D seems strange being pregnant as my son is 8! I keep doing pregnancy tests still😂 would love some mummy friends though :)

Hi guys, doing well today. I want to do an early scan but in scared of what I will see after my MC in April. So I'm not sure 🤣.

Had the most awful dream last night about loosing baby it was horrific and woke up in a sweat and panic thinking it had actually happened. Not the nicest wake up I've had.

@RustyCat oh no! Horrible but at least only a dream.

I’ve just had a MS teams meeting with new staff about my role, pretty sure I’ve confused them more and just rambled my way through it. I think that pregnancy fog is settling in nicely 🤪
