👶 Due November 2022 - part II 🎆

[Cheetocat]

The first thread got to 40 pages. 😊 If anyone can find the list of due dates please post it.

Hi 👋. I think this is the right thread for me.... at a guess I am 7+5 but I haven't recovered my periods after my last baby was born 16months ago. Thought I was really under the weather and doing too much then suddenly thought to do a test this weekend. We are over joyed tho my DH had hoped we could try for a while (we have had sex 3 times this year poor chap 🤣).

Hello pregnancy buddies :) I'm due 18th Nov. Found out 10 days after DTD which is a marked change from 18 weeks with DS! Been a nervous wreck but had 2 scans and seen heartbeat so getting excited now. Bloody exhausted this time tho, the sorest, heaviest boobs and lightheaded. Already started buying tho hard work this time, 9 years older and 7 stone heavier

Thanks for the encouraging words @LS1983 @Casper94 @sarahj878

Got to the hospital and they had to cancel my appointment as the sonographer had to go home unwell and they couldn’t fit me in. So annoying as I took the time off work, as did my partner.

Booked in for tomorrow instead. The wait is killling me. So impatient.

@Chellooo

Hi Everyone, I've booked myself an early scan on Wed for reassurance really, as (I know a lot of you will hate me for this), I haven't really been having a lot of symptoms...yes my boobs are sore but not more that period boobs, and I've been pretty ok on the food/tiredness front - again sorry for all of you really suffering 😢

Just wondering if any of you have had scans about thr 7+2 Mark? Will I see much?

I had mine today at 6 weeks 5 days, measuring spot on. We saw a little heart beat. It was all so surreal in the loveliest possible way.

I've attached a picture. So you should see something like this or more around the 7 week 2 day mark

Awwww lovely! How exciting x

[quote AbbiL0u]@Chellooo I had a scan when I thought I was 8 weeks but actually I was 7w +1 and saw a little heartbeat, it was very reassuring!

I feel like I look pregnant today, super bloated! It makes me think my recent cramps are hopefully my uterus growing… it’s so real! I also saw someone say they had been short of breath? I am 10 weeks tomorrow and feel short of breath, is that a pregnancy thing or because I’ve been really lazy recently?![/quote]
Definitely a pregnancy thing! I remember with my DS I couldn't get up the stairs without being super short of breath. Was so strange !

I'm a little behind on messages as we've been away. Lovely to see wo many of you have early scans booked in. I have my fingers crossed for you all.

Congrats to all the new ladies too 🥰
@RhiRhi1988 Oh no that's so annoying ! I bet it's felt like the longest 24 hours for you 😔 Not much longer to go.

I've finally hit the 7 week mark and tbh don't have many symptoms at all. The ones I did have seemed to improve. I'm just left bloated and needing to pee!

I’m 7+1 and had no symptoms today which am trying not to worry about as up until now I’ve had very sore boobs and a lot of nausea. Coupled with the spotting I’ve been having I’ve been very emotional and am trying to just relax about it all as the dr in EPU wasn’t worried at all.

@RhiRhi1988 oh no you poor thing, glad they fitted you in tomorrow but must feel like a very long wait. Hope it goes well tomorrow.

That's annoying @RhiRhi1988 Hopefully get scanned tomorrow!! Good luck ☺️

Just got my blood test results back today, my toxoplasmosis levels were off the charts but it was declared to be a negative result and just indicative of a previous infection. Also, my hormone levels are out of whack, it's looking like hypothyroidism/hashimoto's.. I have an appiontment at the hospital on Thursday so I'll ask them about it.

@Bramblecrumble21- I’m sorer today now, they felt fuller and more painful at the 4-5week mark but then less and less, I have spotting a lot so I’m really anxious, it’s another 5weeks until my next scan.

@smiles39- I’m exactly the same all food just turns me unless I’m really hungry, when I done the food shop today I was just grabbing stuff to make some sort of meals but wanted nothing at all. After I eat I get sick for a few hours, like a constant car sickness

A couple if weeks ago I was like that with food, now I'm having to leave snacks on my bedside table

@SzeliSecond hello due date twin! You could literally be describing my symptoms!

I really want my scan its driving me nuts i still havent heard anything!

My friend is pregnant too and due 4 days before me, shes had her booking appointment and her scan and planning her announcement. I just want to know my little one is ok in there!

@RhiRhi1988 can't imagine how annoying that was, good luck for tomorrow.
@netofmums congratulations. So pleased all is as it should be. Beautiful little scan pic 🙂

I've lost my baby 💔 Thanks for all the support. Take care and good luck everyone xx

So sorry to hear that @LS1983 my thoughts are with you

My scan also didn’t go as I expected.
My tiny dot on the last scan has developed into three larger gestational sacs. But no fetal pole seen in any of them. The sonographer said it was very unusual. I will be going back in another week to check again. But for how far I think I should be by now, it doesn’t look good :(

@AbbiL0u the breathlessness is caused by progesterone. You would think it would only happen later when the baby squashes your lungs but nope, the progesterone causes you to breathe more to get more oxygen in your blood to send to baby in early pregnancy.

@LS1983 I know nothing I say can possibly ease how you’re feeling now but I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you xx

I am so sorry to hear that @LS1983 take of yourself x

Anyone here struggling with MH? I’ve got GAD (unmediated atm) and have recently had a missed MC so being in the first trimester is really testing me. I am worried the anxiety is harming the baby but I don’t know what to do other than wait for my early scan which is on Friday. I’m 7+2 and generally feeling rubbish too. Headaches, nausea, complete exhaustion.

@ls1983 so sorry for your loss, make sure you're taking care of yourself 💐

@rhirhi1988 sorry to hear things didn't go as planned, keeping everything crossed for you 💞

@gabsk92 yes, I'm currently working with my GP to ween down/eventually come off my medication. Currently feeling okay, but incredibly anxious - it's hard to know if it's normal pregnancy anxiety or something more sometimes, isn't it? My GP has advised I speak with the midwife at my booking in appointment to get referred to the MH team for additional support, maybe that's something you could discuss with your doctor too?

So sorry to hear your news @LS1983 💔 please take care of yourself.

How worrying @RhiRhi1988 I hope the next scan gives you more clarity and that everything is okay.

I also have a scan later on today. I had some period type pains that woke me not last night but the night before so feeling a bit anxious. I'm 10 weeks today.

Sorry to hear so many of you are feeling rubbish physically and emotionally. It's such a rollercoaster of a journey but will all be worth it for us in the end 💐

@GabsK92 I don’t normally struggle with my MH fortunately but this is a pregnancy after loss for me too and my anxiety has been through the roof. I’ve had on and off spotting since 6 weeks and had some more this morning that was more red than brown. It’s so triggering for me from the last time. Anyway, had a scan this afternoon and baby is doing great. No idea what’s causing the spotting but it’s so stressful.

Hopefully your scan will give you some reassurance and all the symptoms are good signs although they suck, I know.

First trimester is so hard isn’t it, all you can do is take it one day at a time.

Wishing you all the best for your scan today @readytoglow

Thanks @Casper94 @xreadytoglow
Hoping for the best at the next scan but my logical brain can’t help but prepare me for the worst.
Two MC in two months is a lot to deal with, especially if this pregnancy is showing potential triplets.

Hope your scan went well @xreadytoglow

@LS1983 I am so sorry 😔 Sending you lots of love, look after yourself ❤

@RhiRhi1988 Sorry to hear your scan didn't go as planned. I have my fingers crossed all goes well next week and you have a little more clarity on what's happening.

@GabsK92 Yes a GAD sufferer here too! My anxiety has been so bad since finding out I was pregnant.
