@mamaof2girls that is great news, congratulations!! So glad the bleeding stopped and you are almost 6 weeks!

mamaof2girls · 27/12/2021 17:31

Thank you. This is my 3rd and it's never happened before till this one. Keeping the gender off this baby a secret we have 2 little girls already! X

Hope all went well @Hannabanana2021🤍

surprised12 · 27/12/2021 18:40

Why is time going so slowly?? Feel like I've known about this pregnancy for months and months - when in reality it's not even two weeks yet!
Had my first misery day yesterday- not sure if it was because Christmas is over, but I had to stop myself crying pretty much all day. Telling myself this is normal.
I've got a call with the midwife on Wednesday so I'm hoping she's going to put my mind at rest a little.
There really is no support in these early stages which is quite sad.

Hope all is well @Hannabanana2021

Hannabanana2021 · 27/12/2021 18:44

Hiya, they aren't convinced this is a miscarriage and my cervix has no sign of bleeding anymore and is closed. Obvs I'm still at risk and I'll receive a call tomorrow with my HCG result, if over 1500 they'll scan, if less they'll do another blood test in 2 days to make sure it's doubling x

Ahh that's a good sign! Hopefully you can relax a little and get some rest in the mean time x x x

@LifeSabotage had the booster two weeks before falling pregnant on the first try (took me 6 months first around when I was 30) so if anything it seems to have helped!

Albiesmum2021 · 27/12/2021 20:09

Hope I can join!!!
I'm due around 8th August- 8 weeks tomorrow. Had an early scan last week and all was good so hoping everything stays that way for my 12 week
Have a 9 month old ds and morning sickness had hit so hard (again). Really struggling this time!

netflixandnochill · 27/12/2021 20:13

@Hannabanana2021 Good news, hope the call goes well tomorrow!

@LifeSabotage I got the booster on the Tuesday and found out I was pregnant on the Friday so I have no idea about cycles. In the summer, after my second jab my cycle and fertile days seemed to be quite accurate.

@surprised12 Feel exactly same, feel like I’ve been pregnant for years 😂

Hi!
I am due 6th August based on early scan - don't want to eat or prepare food so Christmas was fun Hmm hoping that I get some appetite back after the first 12 weeks!

Funny you say that - I usually live for food but some days I'm having to force myself to eat at the moment. Not good!
OooohAhhhh · 27/12/2021 21:25

Yes me, due August 22nd. This will be my second!

Minnie296 · 27/12/2021 21:36

Hi everyone

I'm 6 weeks tomorrow so I'm due 23rd august this will be my second my DD turned 3 last week.

Had 3 chemicals so hoping this one is the one to stick! Really hoping to get an early scan sorted asap and will be ringing drs on Wednesday to try and do booking in.

Feeling very sickly and sore boobs so I'm taking that as a good sign ( fingers crossed )

Good luck to all :) :)

Morning all, hope everyone's well and has had a good Christmas!

I'm 5+5 today based on my totally unacceptable guesstimate and still feeling pretty much okay. The boob pain seems to have localised to my nipples now, which is where it was throughout my first pregnancy, but otherwise my only significant symptom has been crazy bloating and gas! I look like I'm about four months pregnant already and it's just air! Also feel a little nauseous occasionally when lying down, though it's dependant on my position.

I'm due my booster on Thursday afternoon. Feel very slightly nervous about it when I'm usually very willing to have any and all vaccines going. I'll definitely go though and just mention it when I get there.

Thursday is also the day I have my scan at the epu. It's weird but I haven't been thinking about it all that much. Kept busy by Christmas I suppose. When I do think about it I mostly feel nervous that there won't be a heartbeat and then it won't be clear if it's because there's something wrong or just that it's too early and I'll have to go back and it'll just be a whole thing.

@Minnie296 Welcome! Sorry to hear about your chemicals. At six weeks though, hopefully your little one is firmly attached!

@surprised12 Completely agree re. Time dragging, feel like I've been 5 weeks for a month already,! Sorry to hear you've been feeling a bit sad and teary. Of that continues to might be worth reaching out to GP or midwife xx

Pearldrops04 · 28/12/2021 09:04

Morning all,

How is everyone getting on??

Still no symptoms here for me at 5+3, not sure whether it’s a pregnancy thing or just because I’ve been so anxious etc but since I found out I’m pregnant, I’ve totally gone off food. I don’t feel sick or anything, just nothing takes my fancy? I’ve even gone off chocolate which is a big deal for me considering I’m a chocoholic! I force down 2 slices of toast for breakfast, an apple for lunch and can manage a few mouthfuls of dinner and then I’m pretty much done. I feel full after all that! Anyone else experiencing similar?

Insomnia has gotten slightly better, I’m still waking up at 5am each morning but I’m going to bed at 9 each evening Blush so I am managing to get about 7 hours all in all, which I think has definitely helped calm the anxiety.

I’ve booked a private, early scan for Monday, I’ll only be 6+2 so not sure exactly how much they’ll see but I’d just like a bit of reassurance that it’s not ectopic if nothing else, but really hoping I see a heartbeat. I haven’t tested this morning, I’m really trying hard now to just relax more and think what will be, will be. I mean, who am I kidding, I’ll probably test Thursday again, and then Saturday Grin but it’s better than everyday and I’m hoping if we do see something on Monday, that it will help reassure me more and I can put the tests down for good!

I hope everyone’s okay.

Pearldrops04 · 28/12/2021 09:06

Oh yes and totally agree with you all re time dragging. It’s bloody torture. I found out 15 days ago and honestly, it feels like it’s been at least months! I have a feeling this first trimester is going to really drag!

firsttimemama182 · 28/12/2021 09:16

I had an early scan yesterday! Currently 7 weeks! Was amazing to hear that beautiful little heartbeat - made everything feel so real!

surprised12 · 28/12/2021 09:56

Ahhh what lovely news!! Congratulations!! Did they find the little bean easily on the scan? Was it internal scan or abdominal?
mamaof2girls · 28/12/2021 09:57

Well after feeling positive yesterday with a few days off no bleeding and getting a 3+ woke up at 4 o'clock and it was really red when I wiped but still nothing in a pad! X

ksc912 · 28/12/2021 11:15

@mamaof2girls I've had the same this morning. So far been brown spotting but this morning more red. Making me worried. Think I'm going to phone doctors when open tomorrow see if can be seen at EPAU

mamaof2girls · 28/12/2021 11:20

I phoned Epu the day before Boxing Day when I was getting the pink and they said then. It should be fine but phone back when am filling 2 pads in a hour but it's never been like that. So am no sure if I would be wasting my time phoning again? X

mamaof2girls · 28/12/2021 11:20

Day before Christmas Eve sorry*

Hannabanana2021 · 28/12/2021 11:46

I'm still waiting for the call with my HCG results.
I feel I can't start the day until I know, my anxiety is through the roof, I can't even eat 😰
No more bleeding since the day it happened (Boxing Day) I know with the tracking I've been doing with clearblue that my HCG should be around 1000. I'm so nervous 😩

LiMc1 · 28/12/2021 11:58

Nausea is hitting me hard this week. I'm 7+2 and nausea started last week but really bad at the moment. No vomiting but just feel awful! Any tips on making me feel less groggy?
Boobs are also flipping huge! Ordered new bras and I no longer fit😳. They're big anyway but now just feel gigantic!
