Due January 2023 ❤️

[Swale]

I know this is very early but I wanted to start a thread for those with a January 2023 due date.

I got my BFP 2 days ago and am about 4 weeks pregnant today. I already have a little boy born in November 2020 and I’m super excited for him to get a sibling but I know it’s early days and have had 2 early miscarriages in the past so slightly nervous too!

I've been quiet on here all week but still watching the posts as I have been a nervous wreck for my scan today! It's not until 2:30 so still got a few hours to go but still feel sick with nerves!

@MrsGrealish I completely understand why you felt that was for the best. Don't worry, lovely. We'll make new message threads and hopefully with good news and lots of celebrating! 🍀🌟

Good luck @brogan12 🍀 Keeping everything crossed for you. Please let us know when you can xxx

@Hana89 Thankyou! I definitely will! I'm more calm this time round, had no pain or bleeding so I hope everything is how it should be! 🤞 the first few weeks are awful arnt they?! The constant worry and stress over every little thing. Hopefully once we reach the 12 week mark we will all be able to relax and enjoy everything a bit more 🌈

Thanks for all your messages lovely ladies xx rang epu directly and they booked me in for a scan next Friday. Obviously if I'm in any pain or massive bleeding to go to A@E she didn't seem too worried? And kinda reassuring xx she's all like it's your birthday today! DH is however beside himself with worry

@MrsGrealish awwwww it's your birthday!!! Happy birthday!!!! I had bleeding well spotting from pinkish brown to red, for about ten days! They said it's normal! You can also have bleeds next to the baby! I've read soooooo much about bleeding these past few weeks, I will say when I had my Mc too as soon as I started bleeding the lines started fading, so if you had miscarried and had stoped bleeding the lines would not be strong, my lines were negative by the time the bleeding stopped xxx

I second Hana's comment on fluctuating symptoms. On Monday I was panicking as my symptoms seemed to disappear, aka I didn't feel sick anymore, boobs didn't hurt, but when I had a scan yesterday (for a cyst I have) the sonographer showed me my baby with a perfect heartbeat measuring 7+6.

Fluctuating symptoms can be for so many reasons (even down to what you've managed to eat, if you've slept etc) but very rarely does it mean that something is wrong with the baby ❤

@Moosh18 thank you for the birthday wishes!! Still am convinced something isn't right coz I don't know why tests are getting darker and the bleeding is ongoing (5 days now) but at least a professional is on the case now xx

Update - just seen baby with a flickering heart beat, they’ve put me a week behind lmp dates which I expected due to late ovulation, however they did say go on nhs dates. Feel so relieved!
couldnt see any reason for bleed she’s said it’s so common and really normal

Hope this is a little reassuring for anyone else experiencing brown/pink spotting. I even saw a tiny bit of red at one point

@281717O am so pleased for you xx what a relief! Love a tiny heartbeat 💗

@281717O I've had the same was awful!

I've got a few cramps today! Not had them in weeks! Has anyone else still got them? I'm 8 weeks x

So scary isn’t it!
when I first saw it it didn’t phase me as I’ve had bleeding in both pregnancies but it kept going and coming back. Trying not too think about it until 12 weeks and then I’ll be thinking about ways to hide my belly until 20 weeks haha!

@281717O will you not announce till 20 weeks!! I won't stand a chance! I'll be showing by 12 weeks! And We are doing a beach holiday all inclusive with the family at 14 weeks so think it'll be a giveaway 😂

Ahhhh just got back from my scan! Little bean is so tiny. Measuring 6w 3d (I only had a miscarriage 7 weeks ago!) and we got to see the little heart beating. Feels like such a relief!

7w6d today and I'm abroad on holiday, noticed a massive increase in nausea and generally not feeling hungry which is so frustrating cause we are in Orlando with sooo many nice food places!! Grateful for the cause but still peeved 😂😂

Aw amazing so happy for you!!

Just to let you all know that I’m out - third MMC in the space of 9 months. Devastated doesn’t even cut it. But a slight part of me relieved we may actually get some answers now. I feel like I’ve lost myself completely in this process and it’s exhausting. So I just want to wish you all the best for your future pregnancies, keep talking to each other, and take care of yourselves 🤞🏻✨

And for some reassurance regarding symptoms, each MMC has been completely different for me. Do not get hung up on what the symptoms can mean and whether this indicates a healthy pregnancy or not. My first MMC I had horrendous morning sickness, even on the morning of my scan where the baby had stopped growing two weeks before. To another MMC where my symptoms where completely none existent and the baby had stopped growing at an identical gestational age. It really doesn’t mean anything.

Please just be grateful for being pregnant each day. I won’t give up hope that one day I will get there 🌈.

@mrsgtobe97 oh my gosh so you ovulated straight after Mc??? So glad scan went well! What date did you think you were? X

@Lifeafterloss22 I am so so sorry, please take care of yourself!! I hope you find answers and happiness soon ❤️

@Lifeafterloss22 I'm am so so sorry! Thinking of you and I hope you get the answers that you need! 🌈❤️

@Moosh18 yup ovulated literally straight away! Even the women doing the ultrasound was shocked as she was the one that confirmed my miscarriage last month! I honestly didn't have a clue how many weeks I was! She said I'll be due around the 18th January!

@brogan12 amazing, so pleased it went well

I'm so so sorry ❤️ I hope you get your answers, thinking of you xx

@Lifeafterloss22 so sorry but hope you get some answers soon.
Look after yourself and wishing you lots and lots of luck for your rainbow real soon.
