[Needtobuildabridge]

Hi all,

We finished the last thread pretty quickly! Here's a new one 😊

@buckingmad just checking in. Are you ok

Just catching up sorry wasn't on yesterday.

@buckingmad so sorry my lovely 😔 Sending you massive hugs ❤️❤️❤️

@Flying12 everything crossed for you that it's a healthy scan 🤞🏻

@VictoriaBlossom well that’s what I’m thinking, my frers are strong, I haven’t done one for a while I’ll do one tomorrow when I’m not at work, depending on that I’ll see about my digi 😂😂😂🤣

@Flying12 this anxiety you have is totally normal, I feel the same every day and I’m only 5weeks!
I hope you have a lovely scan and get to see your wee bean with its fast heartbeat 🤍✨✨✨

@VictoriaBlossom My husband tells me there’s nothing we can do about the outcome so just have to relax as much as possible.
Thank you - fingers crossed

@Mumto4rugrats @buckingmad how are u both doing? 🤍🤍

@NSx just DO IT
I'm so glad to be on this forum because it puts my mind at ease when I know other girls arnt having symptoms

@Flying12
Time will go so slowly til your scan later,
is this your first?

@SnookyPook thank you ❤️

@NSx yeah I imagine that everyone feels like this, it’s just the unknown with it all. Early stages are so rough with dealing with new symptoms and knowing if they are normal. We’ve only told our parents so far which makes it harder to not talk to friends about

@VictoriaBlossom ill do it Sunday maybe 😂😂🫣

@Flying12 it’s a very scary time! we haven’t told anyone at all! I hope you’re scan goes well, im sure it will and this will all be a distant memory xx

@VictoriaBlossom yeah it’s our first so everything is new to me. Current symptoms are sore boobs (been sore from the start) feelings nauseous- only been sick once and so much gas! Come the evening I’m so bloated.

@NSx I'm somewhere between 5w and 5w4d (i.e. between what I think is right based on my cycles and what Flo is saying) - so I got my dye stealer and 2-3w on digi when I was between 4w3 and 5w.
Maybe I should just use the last digi so it's gone but if I get 2-3 again I'll be stressed!
These forums make me feel so much better knowing other people are in the same headspace, I feel a bit bonkers sometimes. My job and toddler distract me a bit but it's amazing how much time I'm finding for obsessing about the pregnancy!

Is anyone experiencing extreme tiredness?? I feel like no matter how much I sleep I’m completely exhausted all time! I come home from work and just want to collapse in bed. It’s my first pregnancy, was a bit of a surprise, I’m about 7 weeks and have been feeling like this for a month! I can’t seem to get anything done after work, everything is piling up!

I think I am going to not take another digital. It was 2-3 weeks on Monday when I was roughly 5 weeks and I got some very strong tests. Not sure I want to use one and not get the 3+ to be honest.

@HistoryFanatic same here. I got 2-3 on Monday when I was 5 plus 2. Not to mention the cost of them!!

Yep and I have two other kids to pay for!

I might be out 😞

Had a scan today expecting to see a heartbeat. I'm around 7+1 along. Could only see a yolk sac, measuring large, and no fetal pole or baby.

I have to go back in 2 weeks to confirm. They say I could just be earlier than expected but I can't be. I had a positive test 4 weeks ago so can't be only 5-6 weeks. Plus the yolk sac is too large to be visible at 8.1mm average diameter.

*viable not visible.

Expect it's a MMC 😢

After saying how I’ve little to no symptoms for ages, I have been hit with very sore nipples overnight, a slight bit of nausea (especially when trying to take pregnancy vitamins). I managed a couple of bourbon biscuits and suddenly felt a bit sick. I’m still unsure of my dates but I think I’m somewhere between 5+2 and 5+4. I don’t know whether to go ahead with my 8 week scan or just wait it out til 12 weeks. I am so anxious I’ll get there and there won’t be anything in there! I’m probably over worrying, but pregnancy does seem to send your mind into overdrive xx

I'm 5 plus 5 and haven't had any symptoms yet. It's causing me worry as I had a mmc in December.

@Hankthehonk that’s why I’m not taking my last digital, I think I’m about 5 weeks but all my apps range from 4+6 to 5+1 😂😂😂 but my LMP was 5 weeks ago today, so I don’t have a clue.
SO STESSFUL all of this 🫣

@fleur89 im so sorry you’re going through I know it’s hard to get this type of news. I’m hoping it’s just too early for you, however I’m a bit like yourself, expect the worst and then anything other than that is a blessing 💕 please be kind to yourself I know these next 2 weeks will be long 🫣🥺

Thank you for those thinking of me today. I’m miscarrying sadly.

Feel like I’ve been hit by a bus tbh but cuddles with my toddler are helping.

Best wishes to you all xx

@buckingmad Sorry for your loss. I have been there.

@buckingmad im so sorry 🥺🤍 sending lots of love x

@Sam3108 I am the exact same. I fell asleep at 8.05pm last night and woke up at 7.30am and I am still so tired. It’s a weird tired though, I don’t feel like I’ve not slept but I feel drained and no energy. I almost feel like I’m going to get I’ll but never do lol

I have no motivation for anything I’m just sitting on the sofa constantly
hopefully it shifts soon!
