@squirrelnutkins1 I only tested because DS starting doing downward dog all the time and I googled it to see if it was something babies do to try and stand up unaided and read an old wives tale that it means you’re pregnant and they’re looking for their sibling so I thought I should probably test just in case. When I went to tell my boyfriend that I’d got bfp, DS grinned and started clapping as if he was like ‘finally, I’ve been trying to tell you guys for days’ 😂 I’m sure he was just feeding off our excitement but it was super cute!

That's brilliant!!!

Looks darker to me xx

Following on from kids sensing pregnancy, anyone here got a 3 year old who's been acting out? Or all normal? I don't know whether my daughter's attitude this past few days is just coincidence 🤣

Shannon88 · 16/11/2022 21:41

@squirrelnutkins1 do you think? Because the control line is dark and not getting lighter is making me worry!

Thelongwayround · 17/11/2022 06:15

@Shannon88 control line doesn’t matter. Look at my tests - control line basically the same throughout while the test line gets darker and darker

@cams88 hope your scan goes well today 😃

s14a · 17/11/2022 08:52

I'm a bit annoyed with myself this morning.

I didn't take a FRER yesterday because my lines are pretty much equal now.
But I took a one step which was darker.

I've taken a frer this morning and there is no difference in 48 hours although there is still a huge difference even between today and yesterday in the one step.

But now I'm panicking that all is not well :(

Shannon88 · 17/11/2022 09:14

@Thelongwayround aww really I thought it had to get darker . I have no symptoms so I’m nervous . How far along are you now?x

Thelongwayround · 17/11/2022 11:24

@Shannon88 those tests are 9dpo through to 16dpo. I’m 5 weeks today!

Rutennotou · 17/11/2022 12:35

Hi ladies, hope everyone is well. I'm not sure if you remember me posting earlier in the thread about not being sure when I was due cos I was on the pill etc. I had a scan two weeks ago that showed something but was no heartbeat but to come back in a week. Last Thursday the lady scanning me couldn't see anything and made me an appointment for today to see what to do.

A different lady scanned me today and she found a baby and a heartbeat! Can't believe it. She's put me at 7 weeks 2 days and wants me back in a week to check growth. Was such a shock! I was trying to decide on the way there whether I wanted medical or surgical management lol.

septembersapphire7 · 17/11/2022 12:49

@Rutennotou thats such lovely news - you must be over the moon! And such a rollercoaster of emotions these last few weeks.. must have been so lovely to hear that! I’m really happy for you ☺️

candycrush789 · 17/11/2022 13:08

@Rutennotou very happy for you 🥰❤️

Ladies I'm 5 weeks today and I was bending down to hoover and my belly felt, uncomfortable? Like full? Has anyone else experienced this? I've also been spotting on and off pink and now it's like a yellowy colour 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ going to epu tomorrow to have bloods x

MamaSJ15 · 17/11/2022 13:30

@Rutennotou that's fab news! Sorry about the rollercoaster of emotions you must have felt.
@candycrush789 is it like bloated/trapped wind kind of uncomfortable? These were both big early symptoms for me in my first and this pregnancy. I've had a fair amount of yellowy cm too, pretty sure most things are 'normal' down there except heavy bleeding

starbright92 · 17/11/2022 07:49

@cams88 hope your scan goes well today 😃

@starbright92 thank you ☺️ It was this morning and went well! One (phew!) healthy little bean with a very strong heartbeat 🥰 I was measuring 8 weeks which puts DD at 29th June at the moment. Everything looked as it should but there was quite a lot of scarring on my uterus from the emergency c section with ds but hopefully that won’t be a problem!

candycrush789 · 17/11/2022 13:50

@MamaSJ15 I can't describe it more like a heavy ache 🤷🏻‍♀️ it only happened once! I think I may have an infection which is why I've been spotting. I hope that's why anyway. No cramps, this was my cm a minute ago i can't work out weather it's tinged or my eye sight 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ x

@cams88 and @Rutennotou great news 😊😊😊

I'm just psyching myself up to phone the gp for a midwife appt. In my first pregnancy I had to cancel my booking appointment due to mc so I'm feeling a bit triggered if I'm honest.

@squirrelnutkins1 I can imagine there's a lot of anxiety about calling the midwife up. Can you do yours online instead? In my area it's all digital now and you basically add your own pregnancy notes to this website, then a midwife gets in contact from you there to organise your booking appointment. Might feel a bit less anxiety-inducing? I rang my GP initially and that's how I found out to do it.

candycrush789 · 17/11/2022 14:46

@Theirmumxx it's turned into pink again 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm so fed up of this! Literally don't know if I'm gonna miscarry or not no pain just twinges either side x

That sounds good. I did try last night but they're not doing the online stuff at the mo. I braved ringing and they're shut for training 🙈 will try again tomorrow. Xx

I can see one of them says dpt. Could you call the clinic and ask them for bloods if you're worried?
