Hi everyone,
just hoping to get as many people in one thread as possible. More scope for sharing knowledge, concerns or worries. Wishing everyone the best of luck on this journey.
When I've a minute I will try and tag everyone across the three threads.

Everything was perfect at the scan !!! I'm so happy, even my husband cried when we heard the heartbeat!!! It's was the most amazing thing ever !!!!! I've been out back 1 day so could be 1/9/21 (let me stay please hahaha) thank you all for your support, it's been such a difficult journey ❤️

Congratulations @diamante11! 🥰

Brilliant news, congrats @diamante11!! Super happy for you xx

Amazing news! Really happy for you @diamante11😊

Great news! Thanks for sharing your scan @diamante11 x

Lovely news @diamante11, you must be so relieved!

How's everyone feeling at the moment? I've been so emotional, anything is setting me off! We watched Soul over the weekend and at the end I broke into full on sobs (not a nice elegant little cry!)

Lovely news *@diamante11*, you must be so relieved!

Ooo that's on my list to watch! After worrying I wasn't getting morning sickness the nausea has hit me so bad the last few days. I can't stomach meat or fruit/veg and I feel really bad about it! Booked a private scan tomorrow (8+2) and very excited!

Hi! I’ve just come across this thread which is great! I’m 11+3 (due august 6th) and have my first scan on Thursday. I thought I would be excited but I am soooo nervous that something is wrong. X

So happy for you @diamante11 Fingers crossed all goes well.

I have my 12 week scan date now, 2 Feb. Had my booking appointment today finally! So things are moving forward and it's all getting fairly close! Just hope everything is still OK 🙏🤞

I sobbed yesterday watching dying baby turtles on the Attenborough show. It was sad, but I couldn't stop crying!

Apart from that, just some stretches to the right side of my uterus and feeling hungry more often than usual, but nothing else, I'm actually feeling better. I wonder if it's normal now because I'm 10+2, possibly placenta taking over? I had a terrible migraine on Sat, thought it might have been hormonal. Not sure whether to be happy or worried!

@BananaHammock23 thank you! Calmed down a bit over the weekend. Hope your private scan goes well :)

@olderthanyouthink I’m really sorry to hear that, sounds like a stressful week. Sending you all the best.

@diamante11 so pleased, congrats :)

@Bwills welcome!! Think it’s normal to be nervous for the scan but hopefully Itll go great and you can get a photo of your little one!

I’m surprisingly not that emotional atm, just really really really grumpy. I think mainly because it’s Monday and im so over working. I’m tired and I feel sick and I just want to sleep and throw up in peace 😂 my stomach is also suspiciously flat this morning? When will I get my bump?!? (I know, I know, not for ages!)

Also have many of you all told people yet? It’s probably a good thing I haven’t because I’d be a real bore, but I find this really all consuming and I want to talk about it. What’s happening inside, feeling crap etc and there’s no one to speak to. Husband is busy with work but even then he doesn’t really chat about it, he’s more of a let nature take it’s course and hopefully Itll be a whole baby when it’s out... my poor mum must be so bored of me. I told a friend who recently had a baby cos she’s been through it lately thinking she’d relate and I really regret that, it’s a whole competition. She had the worst pregnancy ever apparently and definitely felt worse than me.

Sorry that was a random moan I wasn’t planning on posting- see I said I was feeling grumpy!!!!

@Thisisbananas3 if that's the case, then DO NOT ask her about the birth! You really don't need to hear that.
Its an odd "rule" about 12 weeks being "safe" so don't tell anyone. Tell anyone you feel like who you know will be there to support you. I've told my in-laws, manager and a few other friends, purely because I know they care and they'll be there if I need them.x

@ame88 it was such a lovely film, thoroughly recommended!

@Thisisbananas3 we've told our families plus a couple of friends (mainly because one works for the same company as DH and just had a baby so knows how to navigate the paternity bits!), but otherwise are waiting until our scan at 12 weeks. Everyone who knows so far I think I'd be ok knowing if things went wrong and would want support from them, so I was happy telling early on, but I'd like that confirmation of a healthy scan (hopefully) before sharing more widely. Can't wait to be able to though!!

I know what you mean about feeling grumpy, my dad is currently treating me as if I'm made of glass and my sister being very judgy, both meaning well (in their own ways!) and I'm struggling to separate my irritation from knowing it's just them showing they care!

@Alittlexmasmagic thank you! Oh she voluntarily reminded me of her birth story, I won’t go into but naturally, as you can imagine, that was terrible too. I ended up on a drip on Saturday (too much vomiting!) she asked how I was and I said in hospital and then the birth story came out 😳 she’s not normally like this! I’m reluctant to tell anyone else after that!! Oh well it’s 3 weeks tomorrow til my scan, I’m sure I can hold off until then!

I puked again this morning although there was nothing in my stomach so nothing really came up. Lovely. Poor DS2 is very very concerned when this happens.

I've hardly told anyone mainly because I'm not seeing people, and it feels totally weird to send a text as a kind of "announcement". However if scan goes well tomorrow I think I might send pics round to my friends. I look pregnant now (even though it's all bloat) so it will be a bit weird if I bump into people and haven't said anything, I think.

But also with having a toddler already it's going by so much faster and I am focused on other things a lot of the time. I know a few people who never got around to announcing their pregnancy with DC3 and now I totally understand :o :o One of them actually had twins!! Just before Christmas! Was a total shock because we haven't seen her all year.

@biscuitcat Yeah I see why waiting for the scan, I’ve moaned before that my scan is at 14 weeks but it means, all being well, we have to wait an extra 2 weeks- I’d always thought we’d be able to at 12 weeks! I’ve only told my parents, a friend and my boss/HR. Hate feeling like I’m keeping secrets!

Sister judgey in a good or bad way?! Well hope they’re taking good care of you.. but I understand the being treated like glass and that being annoying... hormones eh?!

@BertieBotts i empathise with the sickness! Hope you feel better! I just don’t know you’re managing this with a toddler!!!

@Thisisbananas3 judgy in a bad way probably - she's trying to police everything I eat and drink! But it's very much what she's like so I'm trying not to take too much offence!

Ahh that must be so disappointing having to wait two extra weeks, I'm already finding it difficult not telling! Like you say, keeping secrets feels odd! Hopefully it'll go quickly - I'm counting down the days now

We told parents and 1 friend very early. I've got a private scan tomorrow (8+2) and we will tell siblings. I'm in 2 minds about my friends yet not sure if illl tell tomorrow or wait till 12 weeks!
I'm so impatient and I talk to my girls every day on WhatsApp so do feel like a bit of a liar!

I can’t keep my mouth shut haha - we’ve told our parents and siblings and I’ve told all my besties and some others too who knew I was doing ivf and specifically asked how it went. I didn’t want to lie! I’ve always been an open book. Probably told about 20 ppl already 😂 Finding it SOOO hard not telling people as it’s all that’s on my mind so hard to think of other stuff to talk about when they say what’s up!! Some know about the pregnancy but not about the triplets 😬

We’ve told my mum, MIL, my manager and his manager (so we can carry on WFH). Won’t be telling friends til the dating scan, whenever that may be!

Hi all, just wondering what brand of vitamin D any of you are taking? I know that it is included if you take pregnacare or other multivitamins but pregnacare made me really sick in my last pregnancy and I don’t think you’re meant to take it if you’re on blood thinners? I’m probably overthinking it but just want to make sure I’m taking right dose etc.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m feeling like time is dragging at the moment! Lockdown doesn’t help, not as much to take your mind off things.

@notinthestarsigns the MW gave me these at my booking in.x

@biscuitcat oh that would annoy me, eat and drink what you can! But of course that’s coming from her wanting what’s best... still annoying 😂
Yes I have to stop moaning about the scan- it is what is! We can count down together!

Interesting to see who’s told who! But it really does feel like lying- whenever we zoom PiL always feel like we’re being deceitful but I guess they’ll understand why we’re waiting!

@ame88 so exciting about the scan tomorrow! Hope you enjoy it!

@notinthestarsigns I use Vitabiotics. Stopped taking pregnacare as I noticed it made my nausea worse- definitely felt better when I stopped taking it. I use Holland and barratt folic acid too.
