@Lbw1292 You just want a time travel machine in these early days don't you!

Sympathies for all those sleeping badly. I'm waking up at 3am every morning and I'm exhausted by bedtime. And if anything wakes me up that's it, I'm awake for hours. DH is getting glared at for daring to use the toilet and disturbing me and DD got short shrift at midnight for being a drama queen about going back to bed. Think I might check myself into a hotel to sleep and leave the noisy pair of them behind haha.

@Housenoob Try to consider yourself lucky not to be feeling grotty, although I know it's hard when you just want to feel pregnant. I'm a couple of weeks behind you at 5+2 but other than insomnia and tiredness I don't really feel anything.

Hi everyone,

I'm due 22nd April with my first baby. I got my first clearblue pregnant 3+ today which had made me relax a little. How is everyone else feeling?

Oh and I've booked my midwife appointment this morning which is exciting! It's all starting to feel a bit more real :)

I totally understand why you are nervous if you are pregnant with your rainbow baby! But I was speaking to someone yesterday and she is pregnant with her second and she is still nervous. It must just be how everyone feels, so at least we all have each other!

I’m trying to take it one week at a time but it’s so hard to concentrate at work 😂 xx

Exciting! I’m so excited to book mine, I hope they ring me soon! Xx

I'm jealous of anyone who has their midwife appointment booked already, I've done an online form and have to call when I'm 6 weeks when presumably they will actually book me in. I turn 6 weeks at the weekend then it's bank holiday so I can't call til next Tuesday. I work full time Monday-Friday so will need time off to attend which makes me wonder if I should tell my manager once I get the appt through as I'd get that time off for 'free' rather than using annual leave.

I rang the community midwife line this morning but had to leave a message. The automated message said they get back to you within 2 days... seems such a wait. But I have plenty of time yet

I had to complete a form too @CinderRosie ! Mine says they will contact me within 14 days.. well in 14 days I will be 7 weeks pregnant and then by the time I get an app, surely it will be at least 8 weeks?

part of me is wondering whether I should book a private scan because I have an ultrasound clinic 5 minutes away and it would cost £60 xx

@CinderRosie Mine is from 6 weeks too but although I'm dating myself 5+2, technically I'm 6+2 from my LMP which is what they go by at the start anyway so I thought I'd just get on and book it. It's completely up to you whether you tell work. I told my work the first time at 7 weeks as I went off with sickness and wanted it recorded as pregnancy related absence. They didn't keep it confidential though which really upset me.

@PerfectPairOfPlums I didn't get a time frame when I rang the main switchboard but the midwife called back within an hour so it may not be so long to wait! I got my first 'congratulations' from her 🥹

@Lbw1292 I think the booking in appointment is normally between 8-10 weeks so that would still be in plenty of time.

@Lbw1292 I am definitely going to have a private scan. Had some with my first so definitely want some with this one too.

@sugarplum33 i know it would be the right time for it but you just want some reassurance a bit sooner.. feel like I’ll be on pins waiting that long 😂

@PerfectPairOfPlums how early did you have one with your first? Xx

@Lbw1292 The first midwife appointment is a bit of an anticlimax anyway, just lots of paperwork and a few tests. If you want some reassurance then an early scan can be great. I had mine last time at 8 weeks and will book one for the same time this pregnancy. I read that if you see a healthy heartbeat at 8 weeks the chance of a successful pregnancy is as high as 98% so that seemed like a good time to choose for that reassurance.

@Lbw1292 i have my first appointment booked in and at that point I will be approx 10 weeks and 2 days. Feels quite late considering I filed out the form when I was 5 weeks!

It's another loss for me I'm afraid, wishing you all the best of luck 🤞

@fleur89 so sorry to hear this😔sending you lots of love x

@fleur89 I am so sorry 😢 wishing you the best of luck in the future and that you will get your rainbow baby 🌈✨❤️ xxx

@fleur89 I’m so sorry, this is devastating. Sending you lots of love xxx

@sugarplum33 I might do that then.. still 3 torturous weeks away. I’ve not stopped testing yet - I don’t really know when to stop, was thinking 21dpo?

@Bluesky85 yeah I know what you mean! It sounds long anyway so will feel even longer 😩 xx

@fleur89 I'm so sorry to hear this. Take care and hope you have support and love around you.

@fleur89 so sorry to hear this 😢 sending hugs xx

@Lbw1292 I had the private scan at 8 weeks. Will be looking at having one between 7-8 weeks this time due to an already busy schedule in September

@fleur89 im so sorry. Its just so unfair and shouldnt happen. X

@fleur89 so sorry, sending lots of love xxx
