Lockdown is so isolating. Who else is due in end sept or October. Need company, online support I’m sure will help with this journey. Smile Xx

@mrsserenalewis I feel awful because I rarely feel like eating anything healthy! Trying to snack on fruit in the mornings then find myself snacking on crisps mid afternoon - cheesy wotsits to be specific! I had my booking appt Monday just gone and going for bloods on 15th Feb, and my 12 week scan letter arrived today for 3rd March x

@Mrsserenalewis I have the same due date! ❤️ It’s my first and I started to bleed yesterday, so utterly terrified I don’t really know what do do with myself. I have a scan Friday. so happy to hear yours went well x

PineappleSun · 10/02/2021 20:01

Hope there's room for one more, I'm 7+2 due 27th September with my first. Completely knacked, nauseas, sore and worried sick about miscarriage. I've booked an early scan for Saturday, really hoping for a heartbeat.

Hello everyone!

I'm 7 weeks and 2 days. Due 28th September with my 1st. I'm being cautious at the moment and don't want to get my hopes up until our 12 week scan but it feels like a lifetime away!!

In general I feel like a permanently exhausted pigeon who feels sick most of the time (not yet actually been sick but spent most mornings in the recent week very close to the loo).

Congratulations everyone!

Mrsserenalewis · 11/02/2021 05:43

I promise you it does get easier the further you get in the pregnancy. Here if you need to talk x

Definitely room for more lovely. You’ll definitely be able to see a heartbeat at that stage. It’s the most wonderful feeling seeing the heart beating. I’m really excited for you x

Congratulations and welcome lovely. The wait can be so long. Have you had your booking appointment yet. That should help break up the time xx

@mrsserenalewis thanks lovely. Yes we are so excited for the scan and to share with everyone... Except maybe my boss. She isn't gonna be pleased!!! I have just been spending a bit of time ordering some healthy stuff on our Tesco shop, rice cakes etc. I was craving weetabix so badly yesterday so I've ordered those too!

MrsBrett20 · 11/02/2021 11:42

Hi! I’m currently 7 weeks pregnant, due 29th September. Been trying for 5 years and then this miracle took us by surprise!

I feel exactly the same way! I had an early scan a few days ago and it was so special seeing the heartbeat! I’m due 2 days after you 🙂 best of luck for your scan xxx
strangerontheinternet · 11/02/2021 12:56

Hey I'm 7 weeks today and got an early scan booked this afternoon. I'm awful with nausea and sickness got an injection and tablets from docs yesterday. I just want to stop feeling so sick and enjoy it 😩 hoping we see a healthy bean and heartbeat today. I'm due 30th sept according to nhs calculator. And I'm an end of sept baby myself 😂 so potentially birthday baby for me 😂

Kirky658 · 11/02/2021 13:49

@mrsbrett20 ahhh that's so lovely, glad you got your little miracle ❤️
I've been give 3 different due dates so far, 17th-19th September. Was measuring 7+6 instead of 7+4 at last week's scan this time last week so who knows, 12 week scan now less than 3 weeks away eee.

@strangerontheinternet wow how uncanny would that be if you had the same birthday! In my family my nanna and aunty have the same birthday, and my other aunty and my cousin do too!

No, I've got my booking appointment by phone on Monday, I'm expecting the scan letter to follow shortly afterwards.

Kirky658 · 12/02/2021 09:06

@mrsserenalewis you are always up very early, I don't know how you do it!
DH and I fell asleep on the sofa at 8:15pm, went to bed at about 9:00 and had the worst sleep, so many vivid dreams, kept waking up to pee as well and was awake for an hour at 4am again...got 4 days off work after today so looking forward to a rest.

Expectant88 · 12/02/2021 09:29

@Mrsserenalewis no, I just moved house so this lunch time I’m off to register with GP and see about booking in the first appointments. I’m 6wk 5days today but having just found out on Tuesday, very underprepared!

@Kirky658 - I’m the same! Having big rests after work and then fast asleep by 11pm. Previously Id be up til 1am pottering around!

GummyBear91 · 12/02/2021 09:52

@Mrsserenalewis I have my booking appointment face to face next Friday but haven't been told about the date for my scan yet. Our post is awful with Covid affecting staffing so might give the hospital a call if I don't hear soon.

Looking forward to having a date to look forward to!

Have you had yours through yet?

Skymum82 · 12/02/2021 10:37

I have not heard a thing. Supposidly it’s take 2 weeks for referrals. I’m expecting I will be about 10 weeks for booking apt.

Oct21 · 12/02/2021 10:41

Not yet - I have booking apt 3rd March, will be 10 weeks I think - currently in the waiting room for my emergency scan. Feeling a little numb tbh but still hoping for the best. Hope all’s well with you X

MrsF111 · 12/02/2021 10:56

My booking appointment is 3rd March on the phone and then scan and bloods on 11th March, counting the days!!

XNicoleX · 12/02/2021 11:07

Hi everyone! New on the forum. Currently 5+6 weeks. Only solid symptom is sore boobs!I checked pregnancy at home untill now. Planning to go to clinic by tomorrow. Some days feeling little bloating feeling but then it gone! I checked pregnancy calculator and due is 9 oct!

Kirky658 · 12/02/2021 11:11

@oct21 I have everything crossed for you lovely. X

Mrsserenalewis · 12/02/2021 16:03

@PineappleSun
Ooo soon then. Mines not till 25th feb. Hoping will book scan then.

@Kirky658 morning sickness wakes me up then I can’t back to sleep as I have work. Thankfully it’s start of half term so i get the week off. What do you do for work

@Expectant88 hopefully they can book you in soon. Where have you moved too.

@GummyBear91 you lucky to get a face to face. I would much prefer that. I have a phone. Lucky the headteacher going to let me do it at work to save me taking time off work.

@Skymum82 I think it’s normally around 8-10 you have it and then bloods. Scans around 12-14 weeks. How long you been waiting.

@Oct21 how did the scan go lovely.

@MrsF111 me too. We need the next few weeks to hurry up.

@XNicoleX welcome lovely. Is this your first x
