Party for ladies due in October 2021 🎊🎉

[ChelseaCat]

It’s a little early but thought it would be nice to have a thread for those of us due babies in October.

I’m due DC2 on the 9th (according to online calculator) and only found out yesterday.

Anyone want to join?!

Thanks so much @Katie1109 😊 so nervous!xx

@PumpkinEverything I know the feeling! I was terrified x I won’t tell you to try to relax, I know it won’t work 🤣 what time is your scan?

All okay with my scan @Katie1109 😁😁 it was at 10 this morning and feeling such a relief. Measured a day ahead too at 7+2 which has also made me feel much better too. Feel like a weight has lifted!

@dominiquebkxox

I went for an emergency scan yesterday as my midwife was worried of an ectopic due to pain on one side. Scan went really well and I got to see the heartbeat flickering on the screen which was amazing and really nice to get the reassurance from it as the midwife did scare me.

Nausea is still with me and is horrendous, i have been prescribed Cyclezine but it isn't really working i find the only time i am not feeling sick is when i am eating but feeling sick i can't bring myself to eat. Constant battle.

Hoping everyone has a smooth pregnancy - such an exciting time.

@PumpkinEverything that great! So happy for you x well done x

Hi tentatively joining as I have had many losses I went for a scan yesterday. Was supposed to be 6w1d but measured at 7w5d. Has anyone experienced this? I know exactly when my last period was.

Had an early scan today as had a small bleed Monday night (thankfully has stopped now, they think it was because I was constipated and strained and popped a blood vessel, apparently quite common)

Got to saw the heartbeat and am actually measuring a few days behind, so I thought I was 8 weeks and actually closer to 7.

Hope everyone else is ok x

I'm glad your scan went well @Missreginafalange . I've started bleeding this evening, still light but I'm already fearing the worst. Such an odd time these early few weeks when you just don't know what is going on

@yellowspot sorry to hear you are bleeding.

When I rung I was told to wear a sanitary pad and keep it all in case they need to look at it.

Mine was a couple of wipes of bright red, then it was pink. I had nothing overnight and then Tuesday was brown until the evening and then stopped.

The midwife said it's quite common to burst blood vessels in the cervix during early pregnancy because of everything that is going on down there, so fingers crossed for you that's what's happening.

I would give the EPU a call if you are concerned x

Thanks @Missreginafalange I'll keep an eye on it over night. So far it sounds just like you're describing and I remember having similar with my DS so will just have to wait and hope I guess.

I did call epu but they said it was really too early and to call back if it gets heavier in a few days. I completely understand they're rationale but she was really quite dismissive on the phone which wasn't helpful

Hope everyone is managing to keep their anxieties at bay! Mine is throughout the roof due to severe cramps and loss of all
Pregnancy symptoms 😞

Morning ladies x I’m sorry to see some of you are going through some anxious time x unfortunately I’m going to join the anxious bus, I’m 8 + 5 and my boobs don’t feel sore anymore as of this morning. I’ve seen healthy baby and heartbeat 5 days ago but now I’m fearing the worst 😩 I haven’t got any other major symptoms, so the boobs pain was something I took as sign of things being ok, and now it seems my reassurance symptom is going away 😩

@yellowspot when I was pregnant with my youngest daughter I had bleeding around 8 weeks I remember being at work and when I went to the loo there was blood I spent the whole morning panicking trying to get in touch with my midwife then when she rang she said wasn’t much they could do if was a loss to keep eye on it and go straight to a&e if it got very heavy and had pain. She booked me an emergency scan (although I had to wait a week) and when I had this everything was perfectly fine. They said they think it was just hormonal as would have been around when my second period was I due I bled again late in the pregnancy but all was fine those times too really hope your bleeding stops ASAP and all is ok xx

Hey 4weeks and 5dats today roughly got a positive yesterday it's so faint but got it on 2 clear blues and 2 cheep strips xx

@Steloubub thanks for your reassurance! No bleeding since last night so I'm trying to stay positive. I had a subcorionic haemorrhage around this time with my little boy so it could be that? Not sure if it's common to have them in multiple pregnancies?

Our Epu has the same stance in the wait and see as there's nothing they can do. It's just frustrating as I experienced the bleeding right through til 10 weeks with my little boy and spent a fortune in private scans as midwifes refused to scan me or do blood tests even at the 10 week mark

@Katie1109 I've heard that 8 weeks is when things start to level out so could be that!!

I've had some spotting and cramping so I'm going in for a scan tomorow at the EPU. I'm not quite 6 weeks so no idea what they'll see!

@HotCupOfNo thank you x I’m just anxious because of previous losses x now booked a scan for next weekend when I should be around 10 weeks mark 🤞

Hi all

Happy to join you all if I'm allowed!

I had my third scan this pregnancy and I'm only just six weeks! I've had four miscarriages in the past but today there was a heartbeat! Let's hope it stays around.

Have you setup a FB group yet? I had one for my one and only successful pregnancy so far and it was a great source of support.

Hello lovelies! I'm 6w6d and due 21st October :) May I please come and play too? I also need a little support right now, if you don't mind me asking...

I'm nervous as hell. I've my second U/S tomorrow. I'm 43, and my hcg numbers have been slow rising.

I had a scan last week at 5w6d showing a perfect little fetal pole measuring only a day out (new date is adjusted for that now!).. AND a HEARTBEAT - neither of which we were expecting after the hcg numbers rose so slowly - it was amazing!

It's possible there was a vanishing twin (the sonographer pointed out an area which may have been another GS) which could account for some of the hcg slowness. That could also account for the dark brown watery spotting I've had the last day or so... but my boobs are slightly less sore :( I'm SO NERVOUS for my scan tomorrow.

I'm so scared little ottapup won't have grown, or will no longer have a heartbeat, or both, and the hcg will be proven right.

I'm so scared that even if little ottapup does seem to be absolutely on schedule and fine and strong... that I'll still feel this way next week, all week, until the next scan! And the next.. etc etc.

Things I'm using to feel better inthe meantime - I know hcg should be ignored once a normal ultra with heartbeat is recorded... and doubling hcg isn't a shoe-in for a healthy preggles anyway... and even though it didn't rocket up, it's still within the normal range for the GA... and there was a strong little heartbeat (although I don't know the rate), and growth was just fine too.

BUT FUUUUUUCK.

So I'm here! I'm naming my place in October, and I'm going to work all day today at staying chilled out, focused on what I DO want and not on what I don't, and try to surrender it all

Morning ladies x how is everyone doing?
I’m 9+5 today and I’m terrified because I don’t even feel pregnant anymore x anyone else similar? I had very mild symptoms to start with but now even my boobs barely hurt 😔 got another private scan over the weekend, I should be around 10 weeks then, but in all honesty I haven’t got much hope, even though all was well on 8 week scan!

@Katie1109 you and I are exactly the same only I’m a bit behind you! Barely any symptoms this whole time, other than slightly sore boobs, and they haven’t hurt as much since Monday and im panicking a bit.
I also have a scan on Sunday at 10am at EPU (they offered me an early one after my MMC) and I’ll be 8+6 then. I had an early scan last week and everything looked perfect with a heartbeat and they were measuring a day ahead.
Sorry I can’t offer more reassurance, but just wanted to let you know I’m in the same boat and don’t feel pregnant anymore.
Feel like I can’t even google anymore as I’ve looked things up so much for weeks there’s nothing new to learn 🙈 it does say that once you see a heartbeat at 7/8 weeks that your risk decreases but it’s just not providing me with enough reassurance.

@Katie1109

I'm 9 +1 today and the same as you symptoms have disappeared. I have read somewhere that symptoms do come and go and start levelling out around now.

As hard as it sounds try not to stress

@PumpkinEverything and @Missreginafalange thank you very much for reassurance both x some breast soreness returned as of this morning so hopefully all is ok 😩

Fingers crossed @Katie1109 when is your scan?

@PumpkinEverything I’ll have an update around midday x
