Due January 2024 🎉 PART 3

[Lilothblos]

Continue here all!

@Mushroo thinking the same!

@buckingmad @Mummyme87 thank you so much for the reassurance!

This pregnancy anxiety is harder than I ever thought- I expected it to be exciting! Hoping after 12 week scan I will feel better 🤞

@RootsHere my 9 week scan was TA. It wasn't a super clear imagine because I was really dehydrated but we saw everything we needed to just fine.

Marking my place so I keep up with the thread

thanks for setting it up

Thanks for new thread, marking my place!

Got my scan today! Should be about 7weeks +4days.

So bloody nervous. I've had some absolute awful one sided pain with brown discharge past few days. Keep reminding myself that I've remained pregnant and had my boys despite having this.

Good luck today @Kalodin! I’d say try not to worry but who am I to talk when I’m so nervous too! We must be on the same timing as I also have my scan today and am about 7+4 too! I’ve just got up and done a nice strong line test and a 3+ on a digital to try and give me confidence when we go in but who knows.

Is anyone else still exhausted at 11 weeks or more?!

@Matildahoney im 11w5d and I still need an afternoon nap around lunch. Even if I get 20 minutes I feel so less tired.

Does anyone else ever have nausea strong enough that they're not sure if they're really hungry or about to be sick? Had a couple of biscuits yesterday and it seemed to take the edge off but was unsure about eating properly in case it just made me throw up. This was late last night so I'd already had dinner

Good luck today @ItsAJourney and @Kalodin

@Matildahoney I'm 11+1 and exhausted! I don't think the heat is helping though.

I'm due in January. This is my third (and last!!) is it true that each baby is bigger / heavier than the last?? If so then I'm worried haha
First - 8lbs 6oz
Second - 9lbs 4oz

Oh dear!

@Matildahoney im 11w+4 and I’m absolutely exhausted every day … the mornings seem to have eased up a bit and I manage the day a bit better till about 2pm and then it hits so hard 😩

On a positive my nausea has calmed down a lot ❤️

@Matildahoney yep still knackered by the afternoon! Not quite as bad as it has been but it's definitely there, wish I was better at napping.

I must admit I feel like a bit of an anomaly here - I’m not particularly nervous or worried and just taking things as they come!

After the initial feeling of being overwhelmed after the positive test I have approached this all rather matter of factly as a series of things to do and appointments to go to. Surprisingly my brain training of “only worry about the things you can control” is holding up well - I can’t control if little bean is ok in there or not beyond taking folic acid, reducing caffeine intake etc., so I’ll just find out when I find out at the dating scan. Husband was surprised I wasn’t fussed about paying for an earlier scan.

maybe it’s because it’s first pregnancy and there’s no history for fears to latch onto, but maybe I should join the dead inside club discussed in the old thread 😂I’m sure once scan happens and it all becomes much more real then my brain will forget its good behaviour and go into fretting mode!

I’m 11+5 and it comes and goes. I felt great yesterday, then absolutely shattered today.

I'm still having stupidly intense dreams. I had a dream last night I was a trainee teacher and had to teach A level maths (I do not have a maths degree!) and my tutor gave me feedback that some of my comments in my lesson were irrelevant.

I honestly woke up nearly crying :s which is insane because:
a) I’m not a teacher and never have been
b) I certainly wouldn’t be a maths teacher
c) the feedback was probably right!

why can’t my intense dreams be me on holiday or something!

Scan went okay I suppose, measuring behind though so due date is now 1st February. Is it okay if I stay in this group? Really scared it will end in MC as this is what happened before

@Kalodin of course! How big was the difference in dates? Honestly it’s so early and the measurements are tiny Id try not to worry too much (I know that’s easier said than done…)

@Kalodin so sorry it didn’t go as expected. How far behind are you measuring? Have they booked in a follow up or anything? Hope you’re ok, I’ve been there and know it’s a worry ❤️

Is anybody not having an early scan? Waiting for my 12 week one as I did first time round, but reading on here seems like everybody is having an early scan.

@Kalodin how far behind are you measuring? I remember panicking over DD as she measured almost a week behind, whereas DS measured almost a week ahead at the first scans. We're here for reassurance whenever you need it and yes, absolutely stick with us!

I think this group is full of people riddled with anxiety 😂 that or we're all just really impatient! Personally, it's a bit of both! I'm really impatient and I had cramping and lost a twin in my last pregnancy so any cramping now and I'm panicking

@Luhou I'm not - I'm just waiting for the 12 week one.

@Luhou I’ve only had them because of previous MC and some spotting. Both of mine have been at the EPU.
Although I am an extremely anxious and impatient person like @cossie13!

But this is why we have these groups for support 😊 I think I'd have a private scan booked for every week if I didn't have this group to turn to!

I completely understand people wanting them, especially if you've had previous loss. Just wasn't sure if I should be worrying and booking one too 😆
