Thought I'd start a new thread for us expecting March 2022!

Congratulations!!

I'm 4+2 with my first, conceived via IVF. I have endo & adeno so pretty nervous. Have told hubby & my sis so far but it's hard keeping the excitement in! It's been a long TTC journey over the last 5 years...

Hope everyone is feeling well in these early days xx

Is there anyone else wanting to join the WhatsApp group? I'm just abouts to sort it now. I've just read there is a Facebook group but unfortunately I don't have Facebook. X

Hi ladies,
I'd also like to join! I am 6+4 pregnant and I still can't get my head around it, however it was a planned pregnancy!!Only my husband and I know , who has been very supportive :) I had an eary miscarriage in March so very anxious how this is going to go..i already have my first scan and midwife appointments booked in ( I did a self-referal on the hospital's website). So far I had all sorts of symptoms - in the first few weeks I was very bloated , my boobs got absolutely huge and very sore- can't even sleep properly . Last weekend the nausea hit me and since I have been feeling very rough and trying to survive.. dread to think how long this is going to last, I have no appetite at all. I also have this long covid thing, since I had it back in December the food doesn't taste the same and coffee and onion smells absolutely disgusting!!Confused
I am flying out on 1st August and was really hoping to get the 2nd vaccine before so i don't have to self isolate when we get back. I'll ask the midwife next weekend what she recommends. I haven't seen my family for almost a year ( they all live abroad), I don't know if I should announce my pregnancy I will be 9 weeks by then , however I might have no other option if the nausea don't go away by then.:)
Sorry for the long post, it is very exciting to talk about this with someone other than my husband;) Happy pregnancy everyone

@miaulin so sorry to hear this, look after yourself and take care xxx

Another sad update:

Sorry to jump on the bad news bandwagon. So the EPU said to me that all I could do now was monitor the spotting until Monday. Then they'd arrange a scan but it wouldn't happen Monday. It's a shame she wasn't more reassuring as I then felt the need to book a private scan for this afternoon.

So as I'm only just 6+3 they couldn't see anything but the sonographer said there was indication of a suspected ectopic pregnancy. So they got an ambulance to come pick me up and take me to the nearest a&e which is where we are now. I would say I'm bleeding rather than spotting now which isn't filling me with hope. But at least I'm being looked at and obviously my instincts were spot on booking the private scan. It may not have given reassurance but it's been money well spent. I'd much rather have my health and lady bits be okay and if we have a pregnancy still that's a bonus. I'll update when we know more.

@miaulin I'm so sorry to hear your newsThanks

Maui69 · 17/07/2021 18:16

@ballanj so sorry to this, whatever the outcome please be kind to yourself x

Butterscotchseven · 17/07/2021 18:57

@miaulin I am so sorry for your loss 💔

Kaytay · 17/07/2021 19:05

[quote Maui69]@Kaytay aw I'm glad he's ok! Aww you will have a similar age gap to me. My little one is 4☺️ ah your just ahead of me then, I will be 6 weeks tomorrow which is when my sickness kicked in last time. Yes the wait until your 12 week scan seems like forever away. If it would make you feel better then go ahead and book one☺️ I had a quite a lot of growth scans my last pregnancy which helped with my worrying a lot as like you I am a worrier. I haven't contacted the midwife yet either and still haven't told anyone so it still doesn't feel real. How are you feeling about going from 1 child to 2? [/quote]
@Maui69 I think will phone this week and hopefully get a first appointment with the midwife, just makes it all seem real doesn't it. I am not sure how it will be going from 1 to 2 but I have read a lot of people say it's a bigger change going from 0 to 1 so hopefully it won't be too bad, if the baby is due March and he will be starting School in the August so means I get to be off for his first year of school. How do you feel about it? I think 4 years is an okay age gap, not too big and not too small xxx

Cuwins · 17/07/2021 19:13

I have had a small amount of bleeding this evening and quite a lot of cramping so really pleased I have the scan booked tomorrow

Maui69 · 17/07/2021 19:20

@Cuwins I'm sorry to hear this, hopefully it's nothing serious, I will keep everything crossed for you x

Bella1329 · 17/07/2021 20:22

Hi everyone, tentatively marking my place if that's okay.

I had the implant out first week in June, first day of my last period was 24th of June so dating by that would be 3+2 however I had a positive test at exactly 3 weeks which I didn't think was possible so who knows! I know I have a short cycle, or at least I used to, at around 21/22 days so I guess I won't know for sure until a scan. I have an early scan booked for August when I'll be 7 weeks to put our mind at rest that everything is okay.

@L00byL0u I think we could be the same!

L00byL0u · 17/07/2021 20:32

@Bella1329 definitely sounds like we will have a very similar due date.

I had the same with my first I tested positive around 3 weeks but at my 12 week scan they changed by 8 days so I was about a week further than expected.

Ah that's reassuring. I honestly have no idea what is going on with my body haha! I feel fine at the moment aside from getting a few cramps but that's about it at the minute. How're you?

L00byL0u · 17/07/2021 20:57

@Bella1329 I feel bloated or gas like a rumbling tummy. I had that with my first but I also have IBS so with my first I was in awful pain for about 3 weeks then it all settled. I'm hoping the same doesn't happen and it just stays how it is.

Champersandchocolate · 17/07/2021 20:58

@Cuwins Hi my love. Wishing you the best xx

hellointhere · 17/07/2021 20:59

I've realised I may actually be due end of February... Now I'm feeling like an imposter in this thread! You're not getting rid of me until I know for sure! I have my midwife appointment next week. Do you think my husband can come too? I'm really excited. I spoke to the midwife on the phone and she was really nice so looking to meeting her.

Champersandchocolate · 17/07/2021 21:01

Hi @BBB90 I also lost a baby in March. Looks like we have both been through the loss and the emotions of trying again at the same time. I’m 5 weeks, congratulations xxx

MrsDonM · 18/07/2021 02:35

I'm 6 weeks (plus or minus a day or 2).Got my bloods booked on the App for the 31st of July through my notes and a scan through the post for the 16th of August. I didn't get the text either but I imagine you'd get that closer to the day.

Trinxsy · 18/07/2021 07:58

Currently waiting for my next blood draw...at this time! Confused my poor veins are shot lol
