[Cruz86]

Just setting this up so we can move all pregnancy-related stuff from the TTC after miscarriage thread.

Please tag anyone else I have missed, this is as much as my brain can handle 😂

@Cruz86 I was measuring a few days behind 6 days ago and now I'm measuring a few days ahead 😅 6 days ago I was told I was 6 weeks exact and now I'm being told I'm 7+6-8 weeks and baby had a growth spurt 😊
My dates from LMP say i should be around 7+3 today so i'm relieved 😅
I saw a heartbeat and a head and teeny tiny little limbs poking out x

Oh that's amazing @HoneyLemon29!! Just what you needed 🥰🥰 xx

@HoneyLemon29 amazing news x

@theblueflowers I'm so so sorry lovely..xxx

@theblueflowers I am so sorry. We are all thinking of you

@HoneyLemon29 fantastic!

Oh @theblueflowers, that's absolutely shit - I'm so so sorry. Life is so unfair sometimes. Sending big hugs to you. I know it doesn't take the pain away, but there are lots of people on this thread thinking of you and your baby. I'm so sorry. X

I’m so sorry @theblueflowers my heart breaks for you, it’s so unfair xxx

@HoneyLemon29 ahh that's amazing news so happy for you 💕

I got my first scan on Monday and the anxiety and overthinking is starting to set in

It's so tough isn't it @arianasky 😩 Is your scan in the morning or do you have to wait all day for it? I've started getting sharp pains on my left side that's worrying me now. There's just always something! X

@HoneyLemon29 that's amazing! Such good news!

Only 5 more sleeps until my scan.. I'm nervous as I keep getting this side pain and the time is going sooooo slowly

@Cruz86 it definitely is 😔 it's at 9:30 so I'm lucky it's early but I'm petrified

So after my panicking because of my cat I ordered a Doppler and got a good heart rate 175 - 179 I'm 10 weeks now surely this has to be babies heart rate??

Thank you everyone 💜
Yes @mrshodgy21 I have the same one and my baby comes in at 150's x

@HoneyLemon29 how far gone are you? Think mine is about right for just over 10 weeks x

@HoneyLemon29 sorry just read how far you are it's mad that we can pick the heart rate up so early but it's so good to hear x

@mrshodgy21 I'm 7+3 although scan showed me about 8 today so it can take me quite a while to find 😅 but the monitor eases a lot of anxiety daily. Sounding like a little train 🥰 x

@HoneyLemon29 amazing news, so happy for you 💕

I can't stop thinking about the scan tomorrow I'm petrified there'll be no heartbeat or no baby at all 😔 makes me sad I feel like this, i'm really worrying, I've still got symptoms but the scanxiety is real

@arianasky I'm so sorry you're feeling worried about tomorrow 😞 it is a good sign you've got strong symptoms but I know that doesn't help to ease how you're feeling xx

@Cruz86 it's just the anxiety I think? at least it's in the morning so I won't have to worry all day 💕

@arianasky I know it’s easier said than done but try not to worry, it’s so positive that you have strong symptoms 🙏🏼🤞🏼 Try and do something today to distract yourself & then it will be scan time before you know it. The scan itself will be emotional I’m sure, my husband and I both cried before they even started scanning but that’s only natural after what we’ve all been through, deep breath’s and positive thoughts 💕 I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow & praying for good news 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Xxx

Eugh that feeling of something has gone wrong is creeping back in 🤦 I feel like my symptoms have disappeared. I hate this constant state of worry! Feel more anxious since my scan 😣 xx

@speake thank you 💕 aww that made me cry you saying that about crying before it started 💕

It definitely is the anxiety speaking @arianasky ❤️ Something @speake said to me made me cry too 😂 You've got a way with words!

@Skl2021 it's just so tough isn't it 😩 Just remember that you're at the stage now where things will start to ease off, so hopefully it's just natural that this is happening xx
