Due February 2023 ❤️💙💛💖 Thread 2!

[Peonies94]

A thread for when our old one fills up!

@YoungK yes! Constant sickness in the mornings and evenings, and a really physical non! I’m struggling! My first though so no children to juggle at home! It’s so difficult isn’t it, I do understand! I also feel incredibly lucky after ttc for so long! I really hope it doesn’t last the whole pregnancy!!🤞🏻

Been sick 3 times already this morning and it's not even 7am. So tired of this now. 😔

@Bunny2006 🤣oh no, your poor bladder!! At least you got plenty of face time with the baby so you know it’s really really real! So are you due 1st Feb/31st January? I moved back a day, 4th Feb, but my previous two have been the full two weeks late so I’ll likely be climbing the walls until the very bitter end! 🫣

@Akmc I was actually really worried about my bladder haha, as I have a pre existing bladder condition and a UTI right now so I was stressing about being absolutely bursting and painful, but it wasn't bad at all at the time! The sonographer kept apologising but I said it's fine, however when I got home that night it was quite painful but fine today! Yeah I'm happy we got more time, initially she flew through it like there's an arm, other arm, hand, leg etc and we just got really quick flashes of bits I couldn't keep up! But then for the measurement we was there a while and could see baby stretching out and kicking etc. Ooh I was 4th Feb, but yeah now 1st Feb!

@Bunny2006 and in the end knowing it’s really real is worth all the discomfort! Did you end up with a choice of dozens of pics to print off? 🤣I had a senior lady do the scan so I was actually in the room <5 mins, with one photo that looks anything like a baby. Thank god it’s not my first or I’d have been totally nonplussed! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ugh re the UTI, hope it clears up as quick as poss!

Can someone send me the fb group link please? EDD 20th Feb 😁

@Akmc Aw yeah I was surprised how quick people's scans were, like straight in and out. There was no introductions or questions how I'd been finding the pregnancy it was straight on the bed and screen on straight away flying through it, until we had to come back haha. My sister had a baby at that hospital last September and got 2 scan pics, and on the website it says 2 scan pics are free at the 12 week but when I asked about photos the sonographer said she'll bring it out to me with my notes, you only get one and she chooses.

Anyone else experiencing/experienced severe anxiety the day before a scan?!

I've seen a few 'digital download pregnancy announcements' on etsy.
I was gonna purchase one of those and post on Facebook 😊

Wow, what's she like now?

Wow, what's SIL like now?

@HallieHufflepuff yeah she's fine now after spending 8 months calling DD1 "Her Baby". She doesn't see her often as "she's a difficult child", SIL is only young really so novelty has seemed to wear off. She seemed equally as upset when we told her about Number 2, despite now insisting she doesn't actually want a child anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sadly we had a confirmed missed miscarriage on Saturday & I went in yesterday and had surgical management of the miscarriage🥺.. We are gutted but these things can't be helped sadly. Once we can start trying again we will. The hospital gave us a lovely memory box with little bits inside and we have put our scan photos in there with all the pregnancy tests I did. I hope everything goes well with you all ♥️ I'm just very grateful I have my little man at home to snuggle & a very doting husband ♥️ xxxx

@RBSK1 I was anxious before mine and sadly found it hard to be excited which is a shame. I also dreamt the night before I had a loss and had pains and I actually woke up with the same pains, but it was pain from my UTI with a full bladder! It was weird.

@Babydance255 I'm so sorry. Thinking of you and sounds like you are being well looked after by your family xx

Hey I hope this is okay to post.

We have a small due in Feb 23 group on the birth club boards and have made a FB group. This is the link.

fb.me/g/1AYzuuBUT/NBExAnHL?ref=share

Theres only a few of us on there but would be nice to have more. I'm also not mega keen on the admin/mod side if people would like to join.

Hope to see some of you there xx

Thank you, I would love to join. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks until I've announced though, in case people can see that I'm in the group.

@Babydance255 I'm so sorry, this is utterly my worst fear. I hope you're doing okay under the circumstances x

@Babydance255 I am so sorry, I hope you are ok x

Found out today I’m further along than I though (only by a week or so). Also a completely different scan experience than with DD however very positive

Hi there.
so I’m 11+4 DD 13th feb 🙂 with 4th baby, my youngest has just turned 9, so quite a big age gap 😂 well today I’ve had a constant cramp like pain in my pelvic area all day even after a warm bath and paracetamol. I had a scan at 8+3 that showed everything was perfect 😍. But I was just wondering if anybody else had had this? I don't remember any kind of cramping with my other 3 but I know it’s normal. I’m Just unsure of how long it should last in one episode before I give epau a call?

So we had our scan. Further along that we first thought! The sonographer was lovely and so calming! Baby all nice and healthy! Can finally relax now. I might actually get some sleep tonight 😂

@RBSK1 amazing! Congratulations! How many weeks are you? Can relax a little now! Will you be finding out the sex of the baby?x

@PeanutButterFalcon congratulations! How many weeks are you? Amazing news!

I announced the news to everyone this week! All our family and friends officially know now! So it’s no longer a secret, it feels so good!

@Peonies94 12 weeks 4 days today. Hoping to find out by the end of August. Doing a private scan I think haha. Can definitely settle down and feel excited now
