Thanks so much @camvt you've really helped me there. You're so right I should contact my gp and they might be able to offer me early scans for reassurance. I'm going to phone them tomorrow and get the ball rolling. I was definitely putting it off because I guess if I didn't acknowledge it in that way, I felt like it would be better emotionally. But now I feel a lot better thank you so much. Big kisses to you, wishing you a happy and as calm a pregnancy journey as you can have. XXX

@Cruz86 I'm so devastated for you, im so sorry 💔 you were my ovulation and due date twin. I can't imagine what you're going through right now.. I wish I could take your pain away. I'm so sorry 😢

HoneyPea · 25/11/2021 20:22

Thank you for all the well wishes. I have just been discharged after 7 hours!!! But baby is in the correct place and we saw a heartbeat so all is good ❤️

Cruz86 · 25/11/2021 20:28

Reading all of your messages has set me off again 😞 Thank you so much for caring. Lots of support around me thankfully and a beautiful little 4 year old for me to focus on. You never realise how hard it is until it happens to you 💔

I'm glad to hear you're okay and everything looks good @HoneyPea.

Good luck tomorrow @feliznavidad2. Will be thinking of you.

Lots of love xxx

feliznavidad2 · 25/11/2021 20:50

@Cruz86 take care lovely, be gentle with yourself xxx

Coco9910 · 25/11/2021 22:43

@HoneyPea glad to hear everything went well 💕

Misty84 · 26/11/2021 07:32

Great news @HoneyPea

Misty84 · 26/11/2021 08:13

My temperature has dropped massively today so now I’m in a complete panic that I’m about to miscarry 😖😣😢

laurenGame · 26/11/2021 08:22

@Misty84 how many weeks are you? How come you're measuring it?

This is slightly different but I had my HCG measured and then again 2 days later. They were supposed to double but they stayed the same! I was convinced something's wrong but it was ok in the end and no explanation (GP tried to guess maybe different machines cos I went to different clinics?! Doesn't make sense though) x

Nicola1201 · 26/11/2021 09:06

@Cruz86 sorry to hear your news. Thinking of you and family.

I've re found this thread after other one closed. I'm 8-2 my nausea is next level, really struggling. It's my second pregnancy and it's def worse this time. It's also hard with a toddler in tow, im back in bed whilst she naps!!

Im struggling to drink water and ending up drinking diluted juice and mainly eating toast. Rest assured its what i did last time and bubs turned out OK so don't worry if you're in similar position.

I have scan on sunday so just hoping body isn't tricking me, i keep feeling crampy so my anxiety is high.

Misty84 · 26/11/2021 09:20

@laurenGame I always temped throughout TTC to confirm ovulation, then I read somewhere that it’s supposed to stay elevated during pregnancy so I thought I’d keep taking it until my early scan for reassurance. Not very reassured today that’s for sure!!! I just called the midwife advice line and she told me that I should only worry if there’s pain or bleeding, and advised me to stop temping. So I will 🙃 Just overly paranoid I guess in the same way that some women repeatedly PAOS! Early pregnancy is a nightmare haha.
Thanks so much for replying and sharing your own experience too! Xx

Elsols93 · 26/11/2021 09:38

I’m now just being positive aslong as I’m not in pain or bleeding I’m gona hope for the best sick of the Googling and worrying 😂 my nausea has calmed down loads only comes in waves or if I smell something I don’t like , but my boobs still sore and big my sense of smell is at all time high I literally don’t fancy any food at all so have lived of crumpets and also Ribena squash as anything else just makes me heave so wierd! I’m 9 weeks today and have a scan next Sunday ❤️ Still isolating with covid till next Tuesday 🙄 xxxx

feliznavidad2 · 26/11/2021 09:41

Just had repeat viability scan, saw tiny little one with a heartbeat. Feeling v relieved.

purpleskyssssss · 26/11/2021 10:02

@Misty84 I was also temping you track my ovulation and I continued after I got my BFP, I had a drop in temperature and like you I panicked, when I spoke to my midwife she told me to stop temping, she said it is 100% normal for your temp to change on different days and they wouldn't expect every day now for it to be as high, I also read a lot of threads that said the same.

I gave it to my OH to hide from me and not having it there has took away that temptation and I am feeling ALOT less anxious

So just to put your mind at rest it is totally normal for it to drop some days

laurenGame · 26/11/2021 10:08

@Misty84 it's hard to pull away isn't it. I was getting scans weekly because of bleeding , now I'm thinking I've to pull back a bit, I can't go 9 months like this.
My next scan is in 3 weeks and it seems like a huge gap and makes me panicky a bit. But I just keep telling myself it's for the best.

Would you ask OH to hide them? Smile
How about still obsessing but over something positive? For example I love to read the decline of miscarriage with every week. That's always comforting and I could stare at 100 articles about it 😂

Misty84 · 26/11/2021 10:11

@Elsols93 Oh you’re quite a bit further ahead of me, hopefully I won’t still be this ridiculous at 9 weeks, I’ll take a leaf out of your book! 🙂

That’s brilliant @feliznavidad2

Thanks @purpleskyssssss, I needed to read this, the thermometer is definitely going away!! Might give to my OH too 😛

Misty84 · 26/11/2021 10:15

Great advice @laurenGame! And I’m so sorry to hear about your bleeding, that must be genuinely scary, not like my worry over a dropped temperature. You’ve been having weekly scans to monitor things, oh my goodness. And everything is ok? Do they know what’s causing the bleeding?

laurenGame · 26/11/2021 10:29

Yes it's ok, it's Hematoma which doesn't usually harm the baby. Smile bleeding stopped now so back to ticking off days and weeks, until that 12 week scan

annie1994 · 26/11/2021 10:34

I had my early scan yesterday and saw baby’s heart beating away. I’m measuring a day early so apparently my EDD is now 1st July which makes me 9 weeks today! Everything was as it should be and a relief to see only one baby 😂 hope everyone is ok, I need to catch up on all the comments!!

Elsols93 · 26/11/2021 11:11

@annie1994 due date twins! What did your scan look like? I have one next week at 10 weeks xxx

Lostintranslatio · 26/11/2021 11:38

@Cruz86 I am very sorry. I know that there are no words that can help you right now. Take care of yourself 😘

MrsCtobe91 · 26/11/2021 11:58

@HoneyPea & @feliznavidad2 glad to see everything went well for you both. Its such a relief isn't it.

Iv just got back from my scan. We were expecting the worst after last time but this time we saw a heartbeat, both me and oh cried, although we're not out of the woods yet, we can relax a little. Xx
