I've just found out Im pregnant - due Mid March next year so literally only 4 weeks. Dying to tell people already 🤦🏼‍♀️ anybody else in a similar boat? Who have you told how did you announce it?

It'd be lovely to chat to people in a similar situation!

How are you all today? Flowers

whenlifegivesyoulemonss · 21/07/2021 14:34

Hi ladies hope you are all doing well 💛

I’ve still no symptoms apart from some bloating and the odd cramp, patiently waiting for them lol!! I’m only 5 weeks though so I guess still really early X

Hello everyone ♥️

I've got a scan tomorrow now at 11:30 with EPAU. They bumped me up I think. I'm currently lying in bed due to cramps and feeling sick; bleeding is still continuing xx

Deedee08 · 21/07/2021 15:02

@Ell17 I will keep you in my prayers. Take it easy. Hugs

Ell17 · 21/07/2021 15:32

@Deedee08 thank you ♥️

@AlwaysSeekingComfort how are you doing? X

AlwaysSeekingComfort · 21/07/2021 15:44

Hey lovelies 👋🏻

Brown discharge/blood has eased off. Feeling calm as have tried to put it to the back of my mind til Friday EPU scan. Me and DP have a nice meal later which will be nice.

@Ell17 bless you. Glad you got an earlier scan! Will be thinking of you tomorrow. 💐 pls keep us updated and I’m sending those prayers that it will be positive news x

Ell17 · 21/07/2021 16:13

@AlwaysSeekingComfort Enjoy your meal later 🥰 it's good to keep your mind off things.
I'll update tomorrow ♥️

DeadPapaToothwort · 22/07/2021 12:41

Unfortunately I have miscarried again. Confirmed at a scan today. I’m coming off mumsnet now. Best wishes to all.

Deedee08 · 22/07/2021 13:19

@deadPapatoothwort I am sorry to hear that. Love and light to you. All the best

AlwaysSeekingComfort · 22/07/2021 13:46

@DeadPapaToothwort so so sorry 💐 sending hugs & take care x

@Ell17 how did you get on my lovely x

Ell17 · 22/07/2021 14:31

@DeadPapaToothwort I'm so sorry. That's just awful 😞

@AlwaysSeekingComfort My scanned confirmed pregnancy of unknown origin. They suspect ectopic as I'm feeling quite unwell with it. I'm having bloods done every 48 hours and then go from there. How are you?

AlwaysSeekingComfort · 22/07/2021 14:35

@Ell17 oh bloody hell…. Keep me updated with how you get on!!! I am OK thanks…. Anxious for tomorrow. X

Ell17 · 22/07/2021 14:43

@AlwaysSeekingComfort Thank you, I will. Hope all goes well tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻 x

AlwaysSeekingComfort · 23/07/2021 15:21

Hello lovelies… first of all I hope you are all ok especially you @Ell17 & @DeadPapaToothwort 💐

I went to my EPU appt today… saw a bean with a heartbeat!!!! Measuring 2 days ahead of what I thought I was. Shocked is an understatement. The nurse saw I think a “heamotoma” or whatever it’s called and said brown blood could have come from there…. Still have zero pregnancy symptoms…. But am extremely relieved for now!!! X

Ell17 · 23/07/2021 15:26

@AlwaysSeekingComfort YYYAAAAAAAYYYY!!! Amazing news. I'm so pleased for you ♥️ a subchronic haematoma - it's exactly what I had last time. Nothing to worry about at all. Just a little pool of blood that sits on the outside of the sac. It will just clear itself up.
Ah I'm made up for you. You must be so relieved.
I'm doing ok thank you - back on the wine pronto for me 🍷 xx

Deedee08 · 23/07/2021 15:32

@AlwaysSeekingComfort I am super happy for you. Such good news

AlwaysSeekingComfort · 23/07/2021 15:37

@Ell17 thanks so much!!!! Yes that was it!!! I was in too much of a shock to take in what she was saying. Glad to hear you are ok… yyaasss wine is a must!!! Jelous 🤣 wish I could have a glass! Xx

@Deedee08 thanks so much 🤍

@AlwaysSeekingComfort
This is brilliant news, delighted for you Flowers

whenlifegivesyoulemonss · 23/07/2021 16:32

That’s amazing news ❤️❤️

JuneySunshine · 23/07/2021 17:04

How's everyone else been doing/ feeling?

I'm feeling a bit pathetic today. Nauseous, tired, worn down by the heat. Can't do anything productive without recovering by lying on the floor for 20 minutes! Kind of struggling with it because I feel so wiped out but also like I'm being lazy and just need to get it together 😅

Good news yesterday, I have an appointment booked with the community midwife for about 8 weeks and apparently a dating scan letter in the post. This is my first pregnancy and not planning early scans etc so these things are making it much more real. Has everyone heard back now?

While I'm here. Can I ask what your OHs are reading or how they're getting involved. My partner was asking what to look at and I didn't know what to tell him. Just showed him my Femometer App thing which tells you what's happening that day. Part of me is cautious because it's early days but I so don't want to leave him out of the experience...

Hope all is well Flowers

whenlifegivesyoulemonss · 24/07/2021 20:10

Hey @JuneySunshine Aww I’m sorry your not feeling great but I guess those symptoms are all positive signs 😊 I am 5 weeks 2 days and I’ve basically no symptoms, I did do a clear blue weeks estimator and got the “3+” 2 days ago which means 5+weeks pregnant so I guess hcg is rising which is reassuring 💛

I have my booking appointment next week, it’s over the phone due to Covid so I’m looking forward to chatting with my midwife 😊

As for OH I think once we have had our 12 week scan he will likely invest in a few books as he loves reading lol! I’ll let you know what he goes for X

Ell17 · 24/07/2021 20:26

@JuneySunshine Hey 👋 congrats and sorry you're feeling poop!! All part and parcel of being pregnant I guess. Try and take it all in if you can ♥️

I have a 4 year old, and first time round my husband got involved with researching the best equipment etc and I focused on birth plan, aftermath etc and fed it back to him. No books were read in the making of our first 😆😆 xx

JuneySunshine · 25/07/2021 22:32

Hi @whenlifegivesyoulemonss and congratulations Flowers

That's good about your booking appointment, I thought mine included bloods, but maybe yours will discuss the logistics of what when you speak.
Mine's a reader too so please do let me know Smile

Hi @Ell17 I like that division of labour, my OH can gladly have all the jobs that involve reading endless and contradictory product reviews!

Nikkixx · 25/07/2021 23:11

Hope it's ok for me to join I'm due 2 April (i know not March!) I'm 4 weeks, it feels unreal, it was a shock to say the least, now I know I'm getting more and more anxious, I've had cramping every early morning for like 3/4 days, should I worry? I have nausea and sore boobs
