Pregnancy buddies

[Carol1980]

Hi ladies,

I'm currently 5 weeks 4 days.

Due to multiple pregnancy loses plus a ruptured ectopic I was given a super early scan yesterday to make sure I wasn't having another ectopic.

Seen the gestational sac and yolk sac ❤️ doctor seemed happy so just looking for some other ladies who are at a similar or same stage as me ? So we can freak out together !!

I have a scan on Friday with the EPU ( from conception date I will be 6 weeks exactly)

I'll join! I'm 5+6 today.

Thats great news @Carol1980

I'm 7+1 today and freak out what feels like on an hourly basis! I have a scan next Thursday at my EPu when I'll be exactly 8 weeks, we had one at exactly 6 weeks where we saw a heartbeat and measured as should but past experiences still fill me with anxiety!

I keep thinking get to 12 week scan and it will be okay, but I know that isn't the case! But I'm trying to stay positive and aim for that 12 week scan!

@EllieJai44
Do you mind me asking how far you got the last time ?

This is the furthest I've gotten in 2 years !

This is my 6th pregnancy, I have 2 living children, the first miscarriage was about 5 weeks, second was 6 weeks and 5 days and last one was a missed miscarriage at 12 week scan but baby died at 9 and half weeks

@Carol1980 oh yeah totally.
It’s such a long time to wait isn’t it 12 weeks, it’s mentally draining, I already look at the tissue every time I wipe 🤦🏻‍♀️

Least you got to see a little heart beat 😊

@EllieJai44 I'm so sorry to hear of your losses, mines have mostly been before the 6 week mark, think we got past the 6 weeks mark once in the past 2 years of trying x
Glad you have an early scan booked for 8 weeks though x
I've been booked in for another follow up scan in 10 days, it's supposed to be 14 but the ladies at the EPU are moving the times around as they know just how worried I have been. They are all so lovely, and know me pretty well after looking after me for 10 weeks following my ectopic with regular blood tests x

@Samthenanny
I'm the same 🤣🤣

Hi ladies.

Well after lots of checking for LMP and conception dates etc according to my Ovia app I'm 6 weeks 1 day today !

I had booked a private scan a week ago which I had to postpone due to a mix up with my dates etc, which is now tonight !!

This will be the first time my hubby is able to see our wee embryo ( hopefully it's still there growing)

Have any of you had scans yet ?

@Carol1980

Ooh that's exciting! I hope you have a good scan!
I have my next scan Thursday! Should be 8 weeks! I'm so nervous haha

@EllieJai44
Sorry completely forgot you had mentioned you had a scan at 6 weeks ❤️
I'm hoping that the little one measures 4mm as the last CRL was 3.87, because it's heard to properly date my pregnancy, I'm worried that todays scan will show slow growth x

Always worrying ! I know I will relax eventually....well once I'm past the 12 weeks maybe !!

@Carol1980 I keep saying the same but I'm not sure I'll stop worrying through the whole pregnancy haha

When I was pregnant with my daughter I ended up buying a Doppler. It was really comforting to be able to hear her heartbeat and know that everything seemed to be fine x

I think you can heart the heartbeat on it from 10 weeks if your lucky x

Have any of you contacted the midwife yet ?
I haven't but plan to do it tomorrow after my scan today ( once I see that things are ok)

@Carol1980 I haven't yet either, waiting till after scan on Thursday!

Hope everything went well with your scan x

Soooo

All looking good !!
Measuring 6 weeks 4 days now !!
Little bean is now 7.1mm !!

So relieved and heartbeat was still flickering away ❤️❤️

@Carol1980 Ahh thats amazing!! Did you have to have an internal scan??

@Carol1980 ah that's amazing! I'm 6+2 abs have virtually no symptoms. It's making me nervy!!

@EllieJai44 no it was just a normal ultrasound, my only transvaginal one was with my gynaecologist when I was only measuring about 5 weeks 3/4 days.

@Whatelsecouldibecalled
My boob pain has been quite mild today, so I was freaking out. To be honest the only 'symptoms' I have are sore boobs, and tiredness that's pretty much it !

@Carol1980 I had a transvaginal on last scan at 6 weeks, hoping Thursday can be abdominal! It should be with being 8 weeks, so damn nervous, can't shake the feeling something is wrong

@Carol1980 that’s amazing glad your little bean is doing well 😊

We’re booking in for a scan and I’ll be 7+2 but that’s 2 weeks away.

Is anyone having sex? We haven’t, although most nights I’m asleep by 10pm on the occasion I want it I get worried that I’ll end up bleeding so haven’t let DP near me. I know I’m being silly but I can’t help myself

I'm quite irritable to be honest so I'm finding that I can tolerate hugs and kisses from the hubby but nope ! No sex! I'm not in the mood and feel like shit 🤣🤣

Had my scan this morning and all was good! Was meant to be 8 weeks exactly but baby was measuring 8 weeks and 3 days! Started to see little buds for the arms and legs

@Carol1980 🤣🤣

I woke last night at 2:30 with the most uncomfortable stinging like stabbing pains it went on for about 30mins and I was close to tears but I think it was wind because as soon as I erm released I felt much better 😮 I’ve never had that issue before being pregnant

@EllieJai44 glad baby’s doing well

@EllieJai44 that's excellent ❤️

@Samthenanny
Yeah I've not been sleeping well at all, I'm exhausted today. I just want to go to bed. It's def harder this time round while dealing with a 4 year old as well ! 😫😴😴😴

@Carol1980 oh I can imagine how hard it is, I look after 2 boys but they’re both in school but that’s hard enough!
I’ve had the worst dry tickly cough for 2 days now, I ended up googling at 2am last night of coughing can be bad 🤦🏻‍♀️
Boobs are also mega sore, DP hugged me and I almost cried in pain

How’s everyone feeling?

So yesterday I was ( by lmp 7w 4 days) had my scan at the EPU....

Measuring 7 weeks 6 days !! Little bean is now 15.1mm !!
Think that will be my last scan at the EPU but hubby and I have decided to continue to get private scans until 12 weeks to make sure that all is ok order ❤️
Scan pic is not the best but happy that things are continuing!!
