Hi all, couldn't see an April 2022 birth thread so thought I would start one.
I'm due mid April but need a dating scan to confirm as I have an irregular cycle.

@shannonl26 I've brought a couple too 🙊
I just couldn't resist haha it's so hard isn't it.

@F1fan81 beautiful picture! It's crazy to think we have babies in our tummy's 😂
Are you finding out the sex or having a surprise? :)

@BrightSide1987 when I went for my last scan baby had hiccups 😂 It's so surreal isn't it!
Glad all went well with your scan
I'm so exited for mine now :D

We're having a surprise & not finding out the sex, however... that hasn't stopped me stalking Google trying to work out if I could find out haha! Not a clue what I'm looking for but that's good cause means I won't give it away for myself 😂

Hey ladies, I hope you're all doing well 🤍

I've been super quiet on here recently as nausea has been kicking my bum 🙈 but I had my 12 week scan today. Baby is perfect, a little leg kicker and attempting to such their thumb.
I'm further gone than expected, I thought I was 11+6 but I'm 12+3 and baby is due April 15th

rosiej95 · 05/10/2021 11:52

@Hopefulmama93
How exiting 🥰 glad all went well with your scan I have mine tomorrow I'm so exited but still nervous.

shannonl26 · 05/10/2021 12:57

@BrightSide1987 glad to hear your scan went ok! Amazing news.

@rosiej95 a surprise how lovely! wish I could do that haha I’m too impatient 😂 looking at booking a gender scan the minute I turn 16 weeks 😂 I hope your scan goes perfectly tomorrow.

@Hopefulmama93 amazing news your scan went ok! I have mine on Thursday, I’m so nervous yet so excited at the same time!

rosiej95 · 06/10/2021 19:46

Scan went absolutely perfect!
Nice wriggling baby & measured perfectly 🥰 with the due date 9th April 2022
I had a very very full bladder & she said for future reference a glass of water would have been fine. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂
Not going to lie... deffo wish I knew that before hahaha!

@shannonl26 good luck with yours tomorrow 🥰

Just having a read through some other threads. Your LO is due on my birthday! I'm due in May. Just wanted to let you know as it made me smile good luck and congrats x
shannonl26 · 06/10/2021 20:06

@rosiej95 a huge congrats to you I’m so glad everything went ok! Even more excited for mine tomorrow now Eeekk! Are you going to do any sort of announcement on socials or anything?

irene88 · 07/10/2021 11:16

Hello! I'm 12 weeks pregnant today, which after a miscarriage at 9 weeks earlier this year feels like quite an accomplishment in itself!
Yesterday we got the Harmony test results back from the lab and it's all looking pretty good - I also now know I'm having a baby girl!!!

I have my 12-week scan with NHS booked for this afternoon. There's a part of me that still worries something might be wrong with baby and that we might not see a heartbeat today, even though we saw her last week at 10+5 and she was thriving. I'm hoping the worrying will ease as the weeks go by.

Timeflyin · 07/10/2021 15:36

Hi can I join? Am due 22nd April , have scan next week to confirm ! 😊

shannonl26 · 07/10/2021 16:15

Hello ladies! Just an update had my scan today all went perfect, I’m 12+6 so due 15th April! Starting to feel very real!!

@irene88 how did your scan go?? Hope your doing well!

@Timeflyin congratulations 🥰

irene88 · 07/10/2021 16:47

12-week scan went very well! :) Our little girl is doing great, mom is still struggling with nausea though!

@Timeflyin congratulations!!! My due date is the 21st of April
@shannonl26 it went great, thanks for asking!

BrightSide1987 · 07/10/2021 16:57

Congrats and welcome @irene88, glad your scan went well (and yours too @rosiej95 and @shannonl26!).

It's so exciting and reassuring to see them on the screen - now a week on from mine and I'm considering if I can justify an extra private one (my DW despairs at me!)

Welcome and congrats @Timeflyin too!

rosiej95 · 08/10/2021 04:08

@shannonl26 yay! So pleased your scan went well! :D
We will do a social media post at some point ye how about you? :)

@irene88 congratulations!! I'm exactly like you before scans I still always worry but as soon as I see heartbeat I relax a little 🥰
I'm 13+6 & still suffer every now & then with nausea but am I lot better then I was so hopefully it calms down for you soon

@BrightSide1987 😂 I totally get it I think it's lovely seeing them wiggle around on the screen 🥰

@Timeflyin congratulations how have you been feeling? :)

I have completely gone off sweet stuff recently I've ALWAYS had a sweet tooth especially in the evenings but now It just does nothing for me & I prefer something a little more savoury 😂
Im in such awe what my body is doing it's so strange how it makes you feel 😂

BrightSide1987 · 11/10/2021 17:57

How is everyone feeling? I've got a fun new thing of it taking an absolute age to have a wee... baby is clearly deciding it's a fun game to block my pipes so I'm down to a trickle! How are other people's symptoms? X

BethDa · 11/10/2021 20:24

Hi I’m due 27th April I think - nervously awaiting my scan which I’m in the morning! I’m also 42 and it’s a surprise baby, I have a almost 16 year old a 12 year old and a nine year old!

BrightSide1987 · 11/10/2021 20:40

Congratulations @BethDa! Sounds like you have your hands full but also lots of potential help with babysitting Grin I hope your scan goes well tomorrow

rosiej95 · 13/10/2021 09:52

@BethDa how you doing today? :)
Hope all went well.
I have a 11 year age gap between me & my sister & I'll be honest it's really quite nice 🥰

@BrightSide1987 ha I totally understand what you mean 😂
The other one that amazes me is when I've just been for a wee & then 10 mins later I need another & it's a full on wee again 😂
I seem to have gone backwards a little and have been feeling a little sick the past couple of mornings & ive also been getting nose bleeds 🤷🏼‍♀️
But am very appreciative my appetite has come back allthough I've gone off sweet stuff. Chocolates sweets ect not bothering me at all 🤔

How's everyone else doing?

shannonl26 · 14/10/2021 21:56

@rosiej95 yes we done an announcement after! Was exciting telling all our friends that we don’t see or speak too every day. I hope you start to feel better again soon. Apart from my sore boobs & the rare occasion I feel sick I’m honestly feeling fine 😂

@BrightSide1987 I’m doing ok, 14 weeks tomorrow! How are you? 🥰

@BethDa a huge congrats to you! Have you told your children yet? I hope your scan went perfectly!

Anybody doing a gender reveal? I’ve got my scan booked for Nov 4th & then our reveal will be on the 7th, honestly it cannot come quick enough 😂 I am convinced we’re having a girl. But I’ll be happy either way! Anyone else got a feeling of gender?

rosiej95 · 15/10/2021 05:46

@shannonl26 ooo what is making you think it's a girl? 😀
How exiting 4th November isn't that far away! 🥰 please keep us updated 😀

It's so exiting when everyone knows, there's no more hiding it haha :D 🥰

Dreambow · 16/10/2021 08:36

Hey, I would like to introduce myself - I am 13 weeks pregnant with my first. We are due on the 22nd April - so due date twins with @Timeflyin and almost with @irene88!
We are having a boy - have no patience at all so found out on the harmony test! We are very excited as had been trying with letrozole prior to this and I am 35yrs old (partner is 38yrs). We haven’t told anyone yet apart from my partners mum who is over the moon! This will be her fourth grandchild but first grandson so she is super excited!
Not sure when we will tell family and friends- when did everyone else decide to do this?
It’s so nice to actually join the pregnancy thread - have been following the ttc thread for a while :)

Hey - we also have our gender scan booked for 4 nov!!!! Exciting!!!!

rosiej95 · 16/10/2021 10:41

@Dreambow congratulations! :)

We had a private scan at 7 weeks & then told parents.
& told our best friends at 11 weeks
& then the Rest of our family when we had our nhs scan.

I think it's your own personal choice when you want to tell people.
Because we had kept it to ourselves for so long it was weird people knowing 😂 in a good way tho because we had been in our own little secret bubble for a while. 🥰

@NinaJames do you have any inkling on what your having? :) xxx

Harlequin1088 · 16/10/2021 11:17

Hi everyone! How's everything feeling?

Thought I'd share this with you all as it'll make you chuckle!

Pregnancy sickness took over last night with literally a split second to spare. Couldn’t get as far as the toilet so threw up in the bathroom sink. A lot. Then I cried. A lot. My partner, being the hero he is, came in brandishing the cat’s spork and proceeded the scoop it all out of the sink and into the toilet. Not a word of complaint. Tucked me up into bed, told me he loved me while I cried that I smelled of sick. What a bloke 😂

rosiej95 · 16/10/2021 18:03

@Harlequin1088 thats true love! 😂🥰
It's amazing what they do for us.
How are you feeling today?

I'm having to self isolate for 10 days as I'm only single jabbed & have been in contact with someone with covid. But ive also come down with a cold 🤦🏼‍♀️ so I'm waiting for my pcr results just to make sure it is a cold. 🙈

BrightSide1987 · 16/10/2021 18:34

Ah @Harlequin1088 sounds like you've got a good one there! It's all glamour this pregnancy lark, eh?!

Congratulations @Dreambow - so excited for you! My wife and I were exactly the same, did a Harmony test as we couldn't bear to wait! It's nice knowing but our plan not to tell family and friends the sex went out the window after about 5 mins when the excitement got too much! We are also having a boy 

@shannonl26 glad it went well telling everyone - it's so lovely to share the excitement with people!

Hope you're all well folks - the weeks are flying by! X
