Hey,
Anyone else out there due April 2022.
I got my BFP at 10DPO yesterday. I already have a 6 month old daughter and it's my 4th pregnancy 🌈❤️

@Cheekymonkey3112 thanks I'm ok, I still get quite strong cramps but the spotting has subsided, I'd say the cramps feel like af cramps but not quite as strong and they come and go, I had a bad weekend of it but today I'm not feeling much. I can feel a constant presence if you know what I mean, a slight heaviness.
How are your cramps? Have they eased? Are they still one sided

Laurenxx94 · 10/08/2021 09:48

Aw ladies absolute nightmare.

Just got scanned for about 20 mins. Was looking good then seen my cyst and seen another area with fluid could be nothing but could be ectopic. Need to come back tomorrow for bloods again and need to get a scan next week again what’s going on have to wait on doctor then come back tomorrow for bloods to see if they have doubled I'm terrified xx

MrsArrison · 10/08/2021 09:57

I'm so sorry it's not been a straight answer for you, @Laurenxx94 - thinking of you today and hoping for the best x

Carolinesyear · 10/08/2021 10:02

I'm sorry to hear that your scan couldn't give you reassurance @Laurenxx94
Where do you go from here? Do you have symptoms of an ectopic? Have they just sent you home?

Jennyisobel · 10/08/2021 10:33

@Laurenxx94 sending you a virtual hug. I’m keeping everything crossed for you x

bollocksthemess · 10/08/2021 10:53

@Laurenxx94 fingers crossed for you! It’s still really early to see much on a scan so don’t panic yet.

We had sex at the weekend but to be honest I’m so scared of miscarrying I just wasn’t that into it. I don’t think I’ll bother for a few weeks.

Welcome all the new ladies, @Elsie2021 I’d recommend a FRER too, they seem to be pretty infallible.

I’ve booked an early private scan for 7+1, on the 22nd, so hopefully I haven’t jinxed everything and it’ll stick til then. Still haven’t registered with my new GP but there’s still plenty of time, and to be honest they can’t really do anything yet anyway.

Told DH about the scan appointment and he said, ‘Do I have to go?’ so I’m surprised we’re not divorced.

I explained that if it’s good news he might like to have a first look at his potential child, and if it’s bad news I might want someone with me when I get told there’s no baby.
Anyway, he’s realised he’s a dickhead so we’re not getting divorced and he’s coming to the scan 🙄

Laurenxx94 · 10/08/2021 11:04

Thanks ladies!

So waiting on a doctor to go over my scan.
Come back tomorrow for bloods and also next week get a repeat scan.
Hopefully will have a indication of my bloods though which will give me some sort of closure

I don't have symptoms of an ectopic but because they seen a "grey area"
They just want to rule out everything!
They did see a sac and something in it in the right place which is good signs and my lining was nice and thick 🤞 just praying this is all well

If you would like to start a WhatsApp group - private mail me your numbers and il get one set up ❤️

Cheekymonkey3112 · 10/08/2021 11:06

Aww @Laurenxx94 sending you a hug. Have you had any pain? Xxx

Laurenxx94 · 10/08/2021 11:10

@Cheekymonkey3112 no just that little bleed last night I've been ok! Xx

Laurenxx94 · 10/08/2021 11:15

Send your number if you want to go on WhatsApp privately x

ladybird0704 · 10/08/2021 11:19

Has anyone registered with the midwife yet? I’m scared in case I jinx it by phoning!

Motherofkittens28 · 10/08/2021 11:28

@ladybird0704 I have, got my booking in appointment on 31st August at 8 +2. Haven't done anything else though. I wasn't really sure what to do having never been pregnant before, they don't really give you much guidance on when to do these things and in my area you have to self refer through the hospital

Stephlp · 10/08/2021 11:40

Posting the link to the April due date group. We're a friendly and supportive group of 56 at the moment 🙂

@Laurenxx94 sounds like you have a few things going on but at least they saw something resembling a sack it’s still so early to see much on scan ! Fingers crossed the other issues can be cleared quickly! Keep us posted and best of luck ! Xx

Namastay · 10/08/2021 12:02

Hi all. I'm struggling to find Mumsnet on FB and when I click on the link from Stephip it doesn't go to anything.... I'd really like to join the FB Apr due date group, please could anyone advise? Thanks in advance,
Take care all

Laurenxx94 · 10/08/2021 12:32

Yeah tomorrow can't come quick enough for my bloods , just got an amazing dye stealer on a first response so hoping that indicates my levels are still high enough 😫

Due April 2022
Derbee · 10/08/2021 13:18

I’ve been looking online at how to self refer for midwife services, but can’t see anything. For those who self referred, who contact and where did you find their information?! Thanks

Derbee · 10/08/2021 13:19

*who did you contact

Don’t know why text was missing!

Namastay · 10/08/2021 13:23

My GP surgery told me to go to:
pregnancy notes.com. Register there, it seems to be nationwide, then you pick your hospital :) hope that helps :)

Derbee · 10/08/2021 13:51

@Namastay thank you, that was helpful! Unfortunately, after signing up it says my chosen hospital doesn’t use that system so I need to make contact myself! Aaargh. Still can’t see who I contact. Will try asking my new GP, although they are being slow to register me! Thanks though

Namastay · 10/08/2021 13:58

@derbee sorry it wasn't helpful :)
