@heya101 we have the same due date!! Glad everything was ok. I had my first midwife appointment today and now waiting to get my date for 12 weeks scan. I have got a private one booked for 16th December so I can tell family at Christmas. So nervous as I suffered a MMC end of August

@missv556 you will be in the best place to look after you & baby so try not to stress ❤️

@missv556 hope everything’s okay and you are in and out of hospital with your treatment really quickly and you and back home resting in no time 💕

@heya101 hi and welcome! I bet it was so lovely to see your baby and it’s heart beat! I’m thinking about booking a private scan but going back and forth with it.

@kelsn96 Oh how fun! How was the midwife appointment? I have mine next Thursday. Were you in there for long? And is it worth bringing my partner?

@Coco9910 It was really nice, and just nice to feel less worried (although I can envision it only lasting a bit before a new anxiety creeps in, ha). How long do you have to wait until your NHS scan?

@heya101 midwife appointment went great. They were very helpful, gave me plenty of advice listened to my concerns and reassured me it was common to worry. I went alone but they will ask for medical history of your and your partners family! I was there for around and hour, had my bloods taken, urine sample, and sent the paperwork off to get a date for my scan. Was very exciting, made it feel more real!

@heya101 oh of course! I keep thinking I will worry less at 12 weeks but I’m sure a new worry will creep in 😂 I’ve estimated that I will be 12 weeks on 5th January so I hope my scan will be around then! It seems a long time to wait 😅

@missv556 you poor thing, definitely in the safest place for you and baby though! Glad your partner is going with you xx

@Chh0412 so glad you were able to see a heartbeat & everything was positive!

@missv556 hope you get sorted at the hospital. Try to think of somewhere relaxing whilst you wait (I know easier said than done).

I've got my booking in appt on Tuesday and I'm wondering whether to bring my partner now... what's the norm? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn't feel as sick today so ordered myself a McDonald's on Uber eats. Suffering now as I'm ridiculously bloated, could probably pass for 6 months pregnant😂 I am super tired though. I've also been in a really bad mood all day that I can't shake. Hopefully a bath will help.

@ChrissyAero my midwife asked me to come alone to my first appointment as they ask certain questions e.g are you being forced into the pregnancy/ domestic violence etc and then after that OH will come to them all, but I am in the UK and May differ for each place

I also had a McDonald today and it didn't even touch the sides!

I am constantly hungry, felt nausea earlier for first time today and I'm really struggling with what to eat in the evening, I am pre pregnancy a massive meat eater and I can't stomach to even look at raw meat never mind cook it.

Anyone got any good quick easy and healthier meal ideas that they have in the evening?

I feel like I haven't been on here in ages but I last posted yesterday afternoon 😂 I've missed so much!

@Elsols93 I'm sorry to hear about your relative. That, plus everything else, must be really tough at the moment. Have some time to yourself if you can, a nice warm bath, candles etc. Stay away from your unsympathetic husband all the while he irritates you! Rant away all you like.

I've also been suffering with anxiety @missv556, was thinking of seeing my gp about it. Find myself awake for 2/3 hours every night around 2am just Googling things and obsessing. Anxiety really is horrible. I hope you find a way to manage yours too. And great news about your scan! What a compliment too 😂 Just read about your blood pressure, sorry you're going through this. Really hope it's resolved soon.

Sorry to hear about your spotting @MrsCtobe91. Fingers crossed Friday's scan is positive!

@feliznavidad2 my repeat scan is tomorrow and I'm also extremely anxious. Just so scared about how I'll take bad news but I really don't have high hopes. @Effram, this answers your question about how I'm feeling 😂 thank you for asking ❤️

So happy your scan was positive @Chh0412! It's such a lovely moment when you see their little heart beating.

There are so many McDonald's being eaten today, I feel like I've missed the memo haha!

Hello! Just joined!

@heya101 and @kelsn96 I'm due 13th July too!

Had my booking appt today, and they were so lovely. I'm still pretty anxious about everything though.

Booked a private scan for 17th Dec, it's just going to be too hard to hide this over Christmas and I really want to let our families know! Hoping it might also calm some of my anxiety too!

Spent a total of almost 5 hours at a&e. Blood pressure had come right down to normal again, ecg fine, blood tests fine but have been prescribed tablets. It's going to be an ongoing saga by the looks of it but my sister is a midwife at the hospital I intend to give birth at so she will make sure I get looked after properly once I'm in the system. For now, I'm sat on the sofa with my feet up and ordered a pizza 😁 thank you for all the well wishes x

@missv556 so glad you are home and your blood pressure has come down! Yes get those feet up and enjoy your pizza!! Thinking about pizza has done nothing for my late night hunger 😂

Glad you're home and safe @missv556

Hi insomnia club 👋🏻 just checking in.... 😴

@missv556 nice to hear you are home having a pizza 😊 time for big chills for you!

@feliznavidad2 I managed to sleep until 6.30! That's a win nowadays sadly 😅haven't had a decent sleep in weeks. This child is slowly killing me lol

@Cruz86 just popping back on to rush you luck ❤️ No today will be scary for you I’m thinking of you sending lots of positive thoughts & strength xxxxx

@Cruz86 thinking of you, hope the scan goes well x

Thanks @Effram scan was today. All ok measuring slightly behind (7 w 6 d and should be 8 w 2 d) don't know how off that is?

When obstetrician was doing my scan he goes: 'here's the baby and let's listen to the heartbeat'. And it was silence for about 7 seconds. Then he heard it (massive relief).

Abnormality and gender scan is in just over two weeks! So surreal, we will open the gender letter on Xmas day (OB will email them to me)

@Cruz86 good luck with your scan today. Deep breaths, you've got this. I'll be checking in to see your update (if you feel like it obvs) xx

Oh and he can still see Hematoma - damn the bloody thing but I'm not bleeding or spotting so just need to take it easy now and wait for the baby to grow x
Obstetrician didn't seem phased by it at all.

@Cruz86 thinking of you today, lots of love!

@laurenGame that all sounds so reassuring, I don't think 3 days is anything at this point could just be slightly later implantation etc, important thing is it's growing and also now you know where the bleeding came from, it's annoying but Less alarming I hope!

Thank you all so much. I feel so sick 😞 xx

@Cruz86 sending you so much love and positive vibes today 💕 will be thinking of you!

@laurenGame glad your scan went well! Bet that felt like the longest 7 seconds of your life 😰 finding out the gender on Christmas Day will be lovely!

@feliznavidad2 I was in the insomnia club last night too! I woke up about 4am wide away feeling like I’d had a decent sleep! Took about an hour or so to get back to sleep 😅

@Coco9910 @feliznavidad2 I took insomnia to a whole new level- would fall asleep at 7pm, wake up startled at midnight and couldn't get to sleep again at all!
Then at 5am would just go make myself warm milk (all I can stomach) and get ready for work 😒

I got some different anti nausea meds from my OB. First ones he gave me made me so sleepy so he said try these ones. They seem better as I've just had pad Thai and don't feel nauseous- result!
