Due July 2022

[jcar87]

Anyone else find out they are due in July ? My dates work out to be right at the end of June/July so I thought I'd start a July thread for us seeing as there is a few June ones going.

Anyone else got a + tests lately I got mine yesterday and then another today. Got a few more test to doing over the next week to see if they get darker.

Hope to have some more July ladies join me there is a few of us on the June thread and Facebook group already I'll try to tag you ladies Xxx

@Cruz86 I just checked my report and crl was 0.69 at 6+4 ?

@CaptainCarp so glad you had reassurance!

@JJ1992 tbh if you can resist I would! I think they can give short term relief but then you're still waiting for next one. Having said that it is amazing to see a little heartbeat! However in terms of trusting them, I think most of the sonographers also work for NHS as well anyway!

@Cruz86 mine was I think and il attach picture 8.3mm for 6w5d xx

@CaptainCarp that’s great news ❤️

9.6mm at 7 weeks here @Cruz86

Thank you @Effram, @Elsols93 and @al1n. I know what sort of measurement I'll be looking out for next week!

@JJ1992 I would wait as long as you can, but don't be put off by my experience!

@Cruz86 I was told mine is 5mm at 6 weeks whist my pregnancy app said my baby should be 1.3cm 🤔
Cue the panic. I googled and said 5 mm or so.
Last scan (7 weeks) showed baby is perfect size.

@JJ1992 I wish I did the same, I admire your wisdom. All the tests didn't get me anywhere and caused more stress. For example HCG on a Weds showed 19,000, redid on a Friday expecting them to double - they were only 20,000. Cue the panic again. This week it turns out because they were done at different clinics they are measured/reported differently So all that worry was pointless.

Im offered weekly or 4 weekly scans and I will prob go 4 weekly.

'Knowledge is power' is definitely not the case with early pregnancy. The less knowledge I have the better it is for me. X

Honestly, there's always something to worry about isn't there @laurenGame. Apparently mine is 3.46mm which puts me at around 5w4d (yesterday). So just hoping my dates are completely out or baby is taking a while to start growing properly 😩 So sorry you've had a stressful time too. I agree, knowledge is not power x

To a PP saying they're entitled to free dental care, this is only once your midwife has issued your matb1 certificate which you won't receive until at least the 20 week mark.

@turnthebiglightoff the matb1 is for your maternity leave. You can send off or get a midwife/GP to fill out an FW8 form now for free prescriptions/dental care.

I've had my maternity exemption for prescriptions/dental care through already by email, I got it the day after my booking appointment. You should get it before your matb1 for your employer x

The midwife rang me yesterday to arrange my booking in appointment. She must have read this thread and seen I was waiting haha! Got that on the 2nd of December, she said there would be lots of questions, does anyone know what she's likely to ask?

She also emailed over the exemption certificate yesterday.

I caved and booked a private 10 week scan for the 5th of December x

What a faff trying to get registered with a midwife! I phoned my GP who gave me a number which has rung out for two days, I went googling and found another number, I called them and they were the wrong area for me but gave me what turned out to be the right number, but I have to wait until 6 weeks and phone back - which is tomorrow!

At this rate I'll be a grandma before I get registered

Hi ladies 👋🏻
My provisional due date is 21 July, 2022. Did my FINAL tests today because watching for line progression was doing my bloody head in!

How are you all feeling? Any early pregnancy symptoms kicked in yet?

I just took another pregnancy test (just to be sure, it’s been a week 🤣) and it was so strong I got a dye stealer! I think we will book our scan next week once we’ve got past the 6 week mark (feels psychologically important). Looking at the week of the 13th December.

@crazyhairbear I just finished my booking in appointment just now.
She was lovely and so reassuring.
Asked all about my past medical history. Parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins medical history too (If known)
Asked about my sister and mothers last pregnancies.
Asked lots about my partner. Job. Work hours. Past history.
Asked in detail about any mental health in the family or with myself or partner.
Gave me lots on info of foods, diet, exercise, symptoms, things to look out, things to ring GP or A&E for.
Advised me to get flu vaccine and whooping cough vaccine (after 16weeks).
Asked about drugs, alcohol, smoking with myself and partner.
Asked about our living arrangements.

Gave me Lots of stats and advice on MC too. Not to worry or think about it as nothing can stop it ☹️.

She then made an appointment for me to go and have weight, measurements and blood pressure taken on Monday. She will then give me my scan date.

I'm 6&4 today and it's feeling more real now.

Also debating an early scan, really don't know what do to for the best.

@Cruz86 I've still got everything crossed for you and praying all is ok.

@CaptainCarp So pleased everything is all good for you.

Hope this helps xxxx

The first appointment with your midwife really does make it all feel real @jasmine88woo! Glad it all went well. And thank you. I'm a mess if I'm honest, just praying that the growth adds up to late implantation rather than conception 😩

@Cruz86
I bet you are 😖 Must be so worrying. But hope and positivity is all you can do right now.
I don't know a lot at all about this kind of thing but from everything I've read on here it could well just be that baby needs to catch up on growing 🤞🏻
💞

@jasmine88woo thank you that's really helpful!

Sorry, I haven't read all the messages on the thread but Hi all! I'm due 21st July, just tested positive last weekend, first cycle after coming off the pill so I will have 2 under 2 if all goes well as my LB is (nearly) 13 months (and still breastfeeding like a newborn at night!) Just looking at booking a private scan for around 8 weeks so we can tell family

Hey ladies

Just joining this thread quite late on!

Due my second babe in July, no clue on actual dates as since a lost pregnancy in April my periods have been slightly irratic to say the least

Anyone else fluctuating between horrible nauseous and insatiable hunger?!

Nausea* even

Despite everything that's going on with me, yes I do @feliznavidad2. And sometimes I get so hungry but don't fancy anything and then I feel really nauseous. Never ending cycle

I meant to say, I'm also waiting on a repeat scan @Cruz86 - they said my dates were likely a bit out when went last week as was spotting, saw a yolk sac and gestational sac but no embryo... My repeat one is booked for 26th. When is yours? Here if you wanna chat x

Sorry, that didn't make sense, they didn't say my dates were out due to spotting, I had the scan as I was spotting. My brain is functioning about 50% less than usual since becoming pregnant. Groan.
