Just gunna add the 4 other ladies now who have pm'd me and I'll catch up xx

Right I've sent everyone friend requests @smilingdonkey I just need the actual link to your profile Coz I don't want to add the wrong person 😊😊

I can't pm as using the app but would love to join the FB group. Currently in baby heaven! 🥰💙

@Bellabubble congrats on your pregnancy. Really hope this one goes well for you!! I found out about my MMC at 12 weeks but baby had stopped growing around 7 weeks. I went for a private scan at 8 weeks and that really helped so hope this one goes well for you too. The anxiety is awful.. still can be and I'm 36 weeks now! Good luck!!

@Bellabubble congratulations it's lovely to see you back 😁 I pray this is a sticky baby for you ❤️🤞🏻

Had the 4d scan, baby is 69% centile, weighing roughly 3 pounds now and sonographer midwife lady said it could be an 8 pounder by birth. Its got hair as I asked regarding the constant heartburn 😂 it's head down. X

Hi @Bellabubble. Congratulations on your BFP. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you.

As @Simmy20 said, we are a lot earlier in our pregnancies than most of the ladies here, but that gives us hope!

As the others have suggested try booking a private scan if you are able to. It will certainly help with the anxiety.

All best to you ❤️

Thank you ladies. I have an early scan booked for next sat (hopefully it will show I am 7+6) I’m just overly anxious as my anembryonic was discovered this way. I do feel quite a lot different this time round which I am holding on hope too! And out of the 3, this is the only time I got 3+ on the digital so another positive! Only a week to go before I can get a little bit of reassurance :)

@Bellabubble congratulations on your bfp! Fingers crossed for your scan 🤞🤞 really hoping for a sticky bean for you 💕

@SkyBlue20 mine has moved too so also having the gentle movements....she is active especially this evening and I'm trying to keep positive but it is hard because they're so much more subtle than they were! I was hoping this would improve as she gets bigger but you're 7 weeks ahead of me and so it seems like it might be how things are going to continue....🤦‍♀️

Wow! I missed loads!!

Congrats @jennyMy, he's a beautiful baby!! What a gorgeous name as well.

Sent @ew1990 a message to get added to the FB group, don't use WhatsApp, always forget to check my messages on it, so would keep up better on FB!

Sorry, missed so much I can't even remember what else happened. I blame baby brain. I've spent the last 4 days decorating our sons bedroom, we promised it would be done before the baby arrived.

Packed my hospital bag though! All ready to go. Got my scan on Wednesday to track down the old placenta, if it's still in the way, I'm having a c-sec, if it has moved, I'll be able to go natural. 7 and a half weeks left!!

Been on a mission to buy nursing bras and tops, etc, because I've finally been given the all clear to breastfeed. 😊

@Bellabubble everything crossed for you, we’ve all been there the wait is awful! All sounding like positive signs so far though!

@Pugprincess aww lovely pics, so clear! Crazy they can see the hair. First pic I think looks like a girl, but others boy 😂 Did you get a feeling?

@Starfish762 thank you! I've been feeling its a boy all along, like you bar one or two of the 60 pics they gave me they all look like a boy to me, I will feel awful saying this now if it's a girl 😂 but so much like my dh it's unreal xx

@Bellabubble so lovely to see you again, congratulations! Hopefully all will be good at you scan next week 🤞

@rosiejess91 good news on getting the all clear to breastfeed

I just made spinach and ricotta tarts, following by berry, chocolate and marshmallow pancakes and now I literally can not move from the sofa. I really want to nap but I'm so full I feel sick if I lie down!

@Pugprincess My little one looks exactly like his dad! And it was the same in the 3D ultrasound pics - crazy!! 😊💙

Had my scan this morning and got to hear the little heartbeat. Nothing quite like hearing that ❤

I have to now have daily clexane injections and still stay on the aspirin. Hopefully this little one stays sticky. He has said we will definitely have weekly scans until 12 weeks so so glad I only have to wait another week. It was at around 7+5 that I had my mmc in Jan last year so still very nervous as we'd seen the hb before we lost it then but definitely feeling much happier and relaxed right now

@bellabubble congratulations and fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

@simmy20 great news about the hb and glad your getting weekly scans x

@Simmy20 congratulations - small wins which are actually like a small miracle. Im chuffed for you. Good to hear they are keeping a close eye on you as that gives you some more reassurance.

What are clexane injections?
Do you mind reminding me about your journey to date?

This is my 3rd pregnancy (2 losses) and If all goes well on my scan this week, I want to push for them to keep a close eye on me too.

Morning all!

@Bellabubble Congrats on your positive and I'm so sorry about your losses. It is such an anxious time but keep focused on the next milestone and eventually you'll find the time has somehow passed by - I promise that when you look back, it does feel like it goes quickly, albeit I know it doesn't at the time. Got my fingers so firmly crossed for you xx

@JoJo58995 Sorry! Baby girl definitely had a week or so where I could feel her so much more clearly and she has days now where I can but it's still quite gentle most of the time. That said, it is SO much easier now to feel if she's ok than it was even a few weeks ago, so there's that to look forward to 🥰

@Workingmama1 What a delicious sounding feast!! 😋

@Simmy20 Great news about the heartbeat! Great that you're having weekly scans, too, must be nice to have that reassurance. Really hope this little one is a sticky one for you xx

@NI101 I'm in Australia (didn't realise this was a UK site when I first signed up as it just popped up 🤦‍♀️) so our healthcare is slightly different to yours over there.
This is my 3rd pregnancy as well (2 losses - trying for first child). First pregnancy I lost at 7 weeks by mmc. Had a scan at 6+5 and saw a hb but when I went for my 8week scan there was no hb and baby had stopped growing around 7+3. Had a d&c to surgically remove.
Took 7 months to get pregnant again. About 4 days after bfp I was bleeding pretty heavy with large clots. Hcg was rising but not as much as it should. A scan at 6 weeks showed an empty gestational sac and a follow up scan 2 weeks later showed no change so again another d&c in November.
After that I saw my ob-gyn who did some bloods and I have low positive readings for ANA which causes blood clotting and likely the cause of the mc. For this pregnancy I have to take aspirin for blood thinner and clexane is also a blood thinner so they are hoping my blood won't clot and cause another mc. No guarantees that the pregnancy will stick as other things could go wrong but everything helps. Given I have private health insurance I can go direct to my ob-gyn and he is the one tracking me (costs but I should be able to get back most on my insurance - don't know if anything works similar there).
That was a lot

@Simmy20 I’m really sorry for your losses. I know from my experience it doesn’t really get easier even as time goes on. Thank you for sharing your experience, I know it isnt easy. Fingers crossed for you and your sticky bean! X

@NI101 thanks. Got my fingers crossed for you too

@Simmy20 such great news, everything crossed for you xx

@Simmy20 thats great news, ill never forget seeing this baby's heartbeat flickering for the first time ❤❤❤ It sounds like they are looking after you well!

Think I'm all finally caught up, I'd love to be part of the Facebook group I never get all the reminders on here and before I know it I've missed loads. Congratulations on your gorgeous little boy @JennyMY!

Also @Workingmama1 lovely 4d scan glad it's went well! We was the same with miscarrying in April and falling again now. Can't believe it'll be nearly a year of finding out I was pregnant the first time round!

I've started getting Braxton hicks, I find them so strange. Not painful or anything but mad thinking your bodies preparing for labour!

We've finished our NCT class too now that was good, bit of a shame it was on zoom but at least we got to do something.

Hope everyone else is doing okay. Can't believe there's a lot of us in our last trimester now 🤩

@lu93 send me a pm with your Facebook link and I'll add you 😁
