There’s already a March thread but everyone seems so far along already with people
Due at the beginning of March.

I’ve estimated I’m due around 29th of March so thought I’d make a thread for that! Anyone else?
Ive just come back from holiday, I took the tests the first day we got there to check if it could enjoy a cocktail or two.. ended up with mocktails instead! Grin

How are we feeling? Any symptoms yet?

Amazing @Twinkles18 congratulations so pleased everything's all ok!

@Sunbird24 ohhh not long? Is it hcg your waiting on? Im moving my scan to next Monday so a week today xxx

Dyra · 09/08/2021 10:05

Amazing @Twinkles18! Congratulations!

Good luck for later @Sunbird24.

Very little still in the way of symptoms. Emotional at times, occasionally get bouts of nausea, and tired on and off. Was going to see if I could get a scan at work today, but it looks like I'm going to have to go home. Nursery won't take my daughter due to an open cold sore. Not sure I've ever seen that in their policy, but I'll re-read it later. Shit upon shit upon the heaping pile of shit that has been August this far.

Morning everyone x
@Twinkles18 such fab news about your scan! I have my private one on Thursday when I'll be 6+5 and I am so so excited!!

@Laurenxx94 good luck for later, hopefully all is well ā¤ļøšŸ¤žšŸ» x

@Sunbird24 hope everything is ok with bloods and scan tomorrow!

Thought my morning sickness was kicking in last night as I felt pants when I finished work at 10pm and my stomach was hurting and making crazy noises. Woke up this morning much better. Putting it down to taking my pregnacare at like 9:30pm as I forgot to have them with my dinner at 6ish as work was a bit busy! Whoops x
Boobs still sore and tiredness comes and goes.. really really can't wait to see our little baby dino on Thursday. šŸ˜ā¤ļøšŸ¤žšŸ» x

Ah hope it all goes well for you!

I'm feeling very nauseous and tired today, can't wait for this evening when I can curl up on the sofa and chill!

@Twinkles18 that's amazing!!

Twinkles18 · 09/08/2021 10:43

Good luck for thuesday @nervyy šŸ¤ it was honestly amazing can't believe how clear everything was, gave me such reassurance!

GeorgiaMcGraw · 09/08/2021 11:33

Very happy to hear the good news @twinkles!

I'm still having a tiny bit of pale brown discharge, called the GP today and she said it's probably fine, but to call back if there is bleeding or if I get a negative pregnancy test. Took a test and it's a strong positive. She said it's too early to scan, but I have one booked in next week privately so I just have to stay calm in the meantime! Good luck everyone, as always x

Bluebell88 · 09/08/2021 11:50

I couldn’t cope with the anxiety anymore so I’ve brought my early scan forward to this evening instead of next Wednesday, I’m 6+4 based on ovulation so hopefully not too early!

Those who’ve already had their early scan, did they do it transvaginally? Did it hurt?

I am a bag of nerves at the moment, I need to step away from the pregnancy tests, did one for the first time in a week or so this morning, it was a strong positive but I wasn’t happy with how dark the line was, I’ve had them darker than the control line before and this one wasn’t. Why why why do I do this to myself!šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Sunbird24 · 09/08/2021 11:54

Congrats @Twinkles18! That must have been lovely!
@Bluebell88 why not if it stops the worrying! Transvaginal doesn’t hurt, you’ll be ok. Hope you get to see your little one too!

Twinkles18 · 09/08/2021 12:16

@bluebell88 mine was just a normal scan they didn't need to do an internal but iv had 1 before after a mc and it's nothing to worry about at all...I panicked for ages before it as I'm so awkward too but it's completely fine and not sore at all. Please don't worry šŸ¤

ItsAlice · 09/08/2021 12:48

Hi! Have been away for the weekend so just catching up, hello and congratulations to all the new people! Can totally relate to the scanxiety- I was not thinking about mine (on Friday at 6+5) but as it gets closer it’s making me feel sick with nerves! Just keep going back to when we found out about my MMC and it is like ptsd I swear! Either way I’ll know where I stand by the weekend….

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 12:56

Good luck for Thursday @Nervyy

@GeorgiaMcGraw I'm sick
Of hearing "it's too early to scan" šŸ˜¬šŸ˜‚ hope your ok.

@Bluebell88 vaginally is totally ok! Honestly it's not as bad as it sounds ...
Think of a big dildo with lube on the end? That's what it looks like šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
STEP AWAY FROM THE TESTS (says me the serial tester)

@ItsAlice hope u had a lovely weekend were u somewhere nice? Good luck with your scan it's so daunting! Can't wait till we are all at 13 weeks and happy with life againšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Currently sat in EPU , got my urine done ( all clear) bloods are sent away ( going to take 2 hours )

Just had a cervical exam with a speculum 🤢🄓 bloody horrid, BUT cervix is closed and no bleeding or that around it so that's a positive!
Worried about my right sided pain so going to speak to senior doctor and wait on my bloods 😫 also moved my scan to next week instead of 2 haha! Hopefully be ok šŸ’œ thanks again for all your support ladies xx

Bluebell88 · 09/08/2021 13:01

Thank you everyone!

Good luck @Laurenxx94 hope your results come back ok, sounds good so far. Thinking of you!

Smiling124 · 09/08/2021 13:31

Hi everyone 😊

Congrats for all your scans ladies! @Laurenxx94 glad they are testing and doing all they can!

When is the earliest/ advised time to have an early scan (to actually be able to see a heartbeat etc)

Thanks
H

Twinkles18 · 09/08/2021 14:20

Hi @smiling124 I was told today that if you're 5 weeks you would be lucky to see much so 6 weeks onwards is ideal. I am 6+2 and was able to see a gorgeous heartbeat today šŸ¤ I'd recommend at least 6 weeks as long as you're definitely sure of your dates as it would be difficult going in and seeing nothing. I was told if that was the case they would call you back in 2 weeks but the wait would have been torture for me

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 14:39

Well ladies , HCG is at 2800 for 5 weeks exactly. Got a scan tomorrow to rule out ectopic but not expecting to see anything which is ok! ā¤ļø

Sunbird24 · 09/08/2021 15:15

All sounds good @Laurenxx94!

Smiling124 · 09/08/2021 15:19

So pleased @Laurenxx94!

Thanks @Twinkles18 husband is very keen but want to make sure we can see as much as possible! Congrats!

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 17:12

Thanks ladies šŸ¤žā¤ļøšŸ˜

FJS819 · 09/08/2021 17:31

Exciting times! My booking in appt and scan are in the diary now, SO excited and not sure I can wait until the 17 Sept to see. 39 sleeps to go šŸ˜€

Dyra · 09/08/2021 18:31

I've tried twice (Friday and today) to get in contact with the midwives. No-one is picking up the phone and there's no answer phone message. At this rate, I'm going to have to rock up to my GP when I know the midwife is there to get my booking appointment...

charley39 · 09/08/2021 19:09

Going to sound crazy here but I just have this sudden feeling that I’m not pregnant anymoreConfused
Yesterday was my worst day by far for nausea and sickness so whether it’s because today hasn’t been too bad that I feel different? I lifted something heavy at work and had some pains which have now eased. I’m also nowhere near as bloated today strangely which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
I don’t really know what I’m trying to say but I just have this feeling today that I’m not pregnant. Has anyone else ever had this?

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 19:43

@FJS819 exciting! How far r u just now? X

@Dyra they're a nightmare aren't they? Mine here only work 10-2 and are out at they times šŸ„“šŸ˜‚x

@charley39 yeah i think it's normal for symptoms to come and go I wouldn't worry too
Much! Enjoy having a good day lol😬 how far r u? X

charley39 · 09/08/2021 20:13

@Laurenxx94 I think maybe 5/6 weeks, I know the gp will have dated me as further along but I dont have 28day cycles but they weren’t interested when I told them that.
I’m sure tomorrow it will be back in full swing and I’ll be annoyed at not making the most of today. I don’t remember very many good days at all with my first pregnancy!

Glad yours is looking more hopeful today xx

FJS819 · 09/08/2021 20:29

@Laurenxx94- hey, I was 7 weeks on Friday (I think) šŸ˜€

ItsAlice · 09/08/2021 20:30

@Laurenxx94 so glad the results came in well for you!!! The days just drag so so much don’t they! I’m feeling so sick all day at the moment and massively struggling with a combo of gallstone flare ups (which are agonising and make me sick) and also being on such a restrictive diet because of it (less than 20g fat a day total spread equally with a max of 5g fat per meal) I’m miserable. I’m scared to eat but if I don’t I feel more sick. It’s such a head mess. I’m awaiting another gastro referral (as when I found out I was pregnant bupa just cancelled me and refused to speak to me šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø) - I could really do with talking to a dietician too as I just have no idea what I can and can’t eat. Just feel like a shadow of myself and it’s getting me down because I feel the doctors just don’t want to know or help.

Sorry for the pity party! I’ve used it as an excuse to eat an entire pack of 30 ice lollies in the past 10 days 🤣
