Hello 😁

Is there a thread for babies due February 2024 yet? I've just got my positive, although super early so not getting too excited.

Due 1 Feb / 31 Jan. I had irregular periods so hard to pinpoint exactly.

Hope to have others join me soon :) x

@Ebonythoughts I had a hematoma with my 2nd pregnancy from 13 weeks (6cm) and it resolved by 18 weeks thankfully. I drunk lots of water, good intake of vitamin C and pelvic rest (no sex).

I believe if you have one in the first trimester it normally resolves by your 12 week scan 🤞🏼

It's a worrying time bleeding but you can get through it with a positive outlook and rest xxxx

@Golaz @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 @mumtotwox thank you that’s really reassuring. Does pelvic rest mean bedrest or just no sex? I’m going to reduce my travel for work anyway just to be safe.

I’m only 8+2 years weeks and praying that the next 4 weeks go quickly. The 12 week milestone would give me so much reassurance. First baby anxiety is real 🥺

mumtotwox · 30/06/2023 07:43

@Ebonythoughts I was given no real guidance but did some research and joined a few Facebook groups relating to SCH and did go on general bed rest. It was mostly avoiding heavy lifting, picking up my little one and no bending down (I managed to get out a few house chores) 😆

I know how scared you are feeling, it's your worst nightmare but I believe you will be absolutely fine ❤️

mumtotwox · 30/06/2023 07:44

@Ebonythoughts Ps I did stop going into the office and WFH until it healed 😊

Ebonythoughts · 30/06/2023 07:47

Thank you @mumtotwox I’ll as the gp today and do some research too. I run a consultancy business so WFH mostly anyway so I think I’ll make it entirely WFH for the time being. I’m not doing much around the house anyway at the moment with nausea and tiredness so my husband has been wonderful and taken on this load.

I’ll try and be positive because I know stress only makes everything worse. Thank you for you’re reassurance x

@Ebonythoughts no not bed rest, just no sex, no tampons, no hiit workouts, no weights. I went for a private scan but performed by a Dr. They said to do everything else as normal and not to worry. Haematoma get partially passed and partially reabsorbed.

Nelliepledge · 30/06/2023 11:06

Sadly not good news on my scan, an early loss. X x x

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 30/06/2023 11:16

@Nelliepledge I'm really really sorry

@Nelliepledge so sorry to hear this x

Ebonythoughts · 30/06/2023 23:49

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 thank you. Spoke to the doctor today and he suggest a couple of days of bed rest over the weekend and then to speak to the midwife on Monday if the spotting continues. Have some dull pain near my left side pelvis too but that’s been on and off since the start of the pregnancy so I’m hoping everything is ok x

Ebonythoughts · 30/06/2023 23:50

@Nelliepledge I’m so sorry to hear that. Thinking of you.

Hi everyone,

Coming to join if that’s OK? Got my BFP this morning and looks like I’m around 9 weeks and due Jan 31st, and to say we’re shocked is the understatement of the year!

I have super long cycles so it’s not unusual to have not had my period for this length of time and only tested after I started feeling tired and getting that burning feeling in my boobs this week. I also had a little boy ask me if I had a baby in my tummy last weekend which must be some freaky coincidence!

This will be my third and after DS was a terrible sleeper I said no more, so I’m praying for a sleeper this time around 😅

anony1111 · 01/07/2023 22:22

@sherbertlemon17 congratulations! X

GeriatricMumma · 01/07/2023 22:35

Today was a shit day.

I'm supposed to be 6+1 from LMP but had my scan today - sack measures 18mm but no yolk or fetal pole. She did an internal scan to be sure.

I've been told I have to wait 10 days for another scan to confirm, there was some talk about less pregnant than I thought. But I don't think that's possible as I found out I was pregnant on the 14th June.

Really tough news and I'm obviously upset but at present I'm in some sort of pregnancy purgatory.

sherbertlemon17 · 01/07/2023 22:44

That’s really rough @GeriatricMumma Keeping everything crossed for you x

MrsC2711 · 01/07/2023 23:25

@GeriatricMumma so sorry to hear this…. The waiting time is just the worst!

sending you positive thoughts x

Golaz · 01/07/2023 23:58

I’m so sorry to hear @GeriatricMumma . Life is just so cruel sometimes 😢

GeriatricMumma · 02/07/2023 06:06

Thanks all,

I have slept (and cried)

Nothing I can do now but wait. I have to always be grateful that I already have 3 healthy children, as not everyone has that.

I also have a good support network x

MrsC2711 · 02/07/2023 08:10

I had a panic yesterday and ended up at out of hours at 10pm last night.
Managed to book for a private scan this morning at 10:15. Im literally 6 weeks today.
Clearblue dating tests have stressed me out too, I have done some Googling and it all says to not trust them 100%. Anyone have any experience with these and them not being right but all goes ok in the end?

Ebonythoughts · 02/07/2023 08:41

@GeriatricMumma thinking of you ❤️

DmcinT · 02/07/2023 10:05

@MrsC2711 hope everything goes well this morning for ur scan ❤️🙏🏽

i had the worst nights sleep, woke 4am with my head ranting and raving about the most bizarre things. Couldn’t get back to sleep for hrs and feel almost hungover now 🫣 up until now ive been sleeping so much & at the drop of a hat 🤷🏼‍♀️ I know pregnancy insomnia is a thing too, anyone suffering with it?
