I'm currently 11dpo. Had a two faint positives yesterday followed by a positive clear blue this morning. This will hopefully be my second pregnancy due around 14th May by dates. Just wondered if anybody wanted to share the journey, symptoms and advice 🥰

@GratefulMum10 so sorry to hear about your MC, never an easy time! I had a few internal scans and they are grand, they’re just a bit awkward but over quick enough ❤️
good luck for your scan!

GratefulMum10 · 22/09/2023 22:46

Thank you @Twinkles18 @Holdmysunhat

Hi all!
Had the best evening went for our early scan I thought I was 6+1 but was 5+6 so not far off! Baby was seen within a minute with a strong heartbeat measuring 4.6mm with yolk sac in tact and baby beating away in the womb we even got a video!
Was told it was rare to see a heartbeat this early so we feel so grateful and blessed!
Wishing everyone with early scans booked the best 🤍

that's so lovely! congratulations Smile here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy! i have a scan booked in next Tuesday 6+2) from the NHS as they couldn't see anything earlier and had some concerns about ectopic

fingers crossed we see everything in the right place X

Laura96 · 23/09/2023 06:13

I have every faith all will be well! They did say and I did go into the scan already having in my head that they may not see all I wanted to see as its early and they did say I have a rare one! Which feels lovely as I was so anxious and nervous and was thinking am I being silly doing a scan this early but now after it its made us so happy seeing that flickering heartbeat we are telling our parents today! Will be magical
Wishing you all the best @nh93 all will be well don't worry 🤍

Ahh, how wonderful @Laura96 so precious.
I've got a few symptoms so that's keeping me reassured at the moment.
How are everyone else's symptoms? I hope you're managing okay. They can be brutal in the first trimester.
Im getting nausea on and off.
Sore breasts, fatigue, emotional - crying easily and lots of needing a wee!

TheBirdintheCave · 23/09/2023 07:46

@UnderstatedElegance I've got a cold of some sort currently so my current worry is that my all day nausea is actually from that and not from the pregnancy. My IBS was also terrible this morning (I think the progesterone pessaries make it worse though) so now I'm worrying about ectopic too.

UnderstatedElegance · 23/09/2023 07:50

Oh @TheBirdintheCave it's so difficult not to worry. I'm praying the nausea is that little baby growing and not a cold.

Laura96 · 23/09/2023 07:58

Thank you!
Yes I've has nausea too and dry heaving sorry if tmi!! Most mornings, tender boobs still and just tired and starvinggggg all the time! @UnderstatedElegance

che222 · 23/09/2023 08:33

@Laura96 I had a scan two weeks ago at 6 weeks and they could hear the heartbeat - it’s so reassuring isn’t it 🤍

Laura96 · 23/09/2023 08:34

@che222 the best feeling!! Still on cloud 9!! Glad all is well with baby!! When's your due date? They have dated me at 17th May at the moment x

GratefulMum10 · 23/09/2023 09:54

I barely have any symptoms just some
Twinges here and there and my bra feels tight at times but I'm 5+2 so not worrying too much

che222 · 23/09/2023 10:24

3rd May, but I am sure it will change when I get to my 12 week scan date 🥰

Twdfn123 · 23/09/2023 14:11

I'm so paranoid. Me and my partner have both been up all night and this morning with vomiting and diarhea, very sure it's food poisoning and now I'm so worried about the baby 😭 I've managed to keep down a vitamin and 2 pints of water but I can't stomach anything else 😷🤮 this can't be good for such early pregnancy. If it wasn't for my partner being sick too I'd have thought it was the start of morning sickness 😫

UnderstatedElegance · 23/09/2023 14:16

@Twdfn123 oh no, that's rubbish :(
I hope you're feeling better soon. The baby is well protected, so everything should be fine. I had covid which must have been around the time of implantation and was a bit worried too.

Carolinealice · 23/09/2023 16:17

@Holdmysunhat to be honest I’m really struggling
last time I had severe HG from week 5-16 and was in and out of hospital
this time it kicked in again the same time but now I’ve got a 2 year old I’m just dreading it getting that bad where I have to do that again.
I know pregnancy is a blessing and I am truely grateful but I’ll best honest I just wish I could fast forward to Christmas- I hate the first trimester so much! Xx

che222 · 23/09/2023 17:42

@Twdfn123 Don’t worry - I had D&V in the middle of 6-7 weeks and I totally panicked about the baby (also I got excited as I initially thought it was morning sickness). As long as you can keep down your vitamins all should be well, as others have said baby is well protected x

Sandy2323 · 23/09/2023 18:05

Hi everyone, I'm currently 18dpo positive test since 8dpo and since last 3 days 3+ on Clearblue digital:) we have lost baby last month at 5w3d so we are very happy but scared this time I had my beta hcg test done and it seems to grow very fast on Monday I have my first scan :)

I would not worry I have been very sick with my boys ( I have 3 healthy teenage boys) to the point where I hardly eat anything first 3 months . My life was literally being in bed with bowl and water 🙈 I was worried but my doctor said not to worry the baby will be fine :) as for now I'm ok but still early days 🙏🏻 can't even imagine what pregnancy without extreme sickness will be like 😂❤️

Twdfn123 · 23/09/2023 18:18

Thank you all, it's just such a worrying time isn't it?! 🥲

Sending best wishes to everyone.

@Carolinealice that sounds incredibly rough. I really do feel for you HG mums. I’m crossing all my fingers that this one is a bit easier for you 💐💐

satellitesunshine · 23/09/2023 20:54

anyone else finding it difficult to breathe? i’m so bloated still and absolutely exhausted, i’ve just about slept today away. such a bad headache too 😭

UnderstatedElegance · 24/09/2023 06:43

@satellitesunshine I've been exactly the same with sleeping. I slept around 14 hours last night!! I did wake during the night to wee though. I've had a headache the last two days and really vivid dreams too. I've also been a bit breathless when going up stairs and things.
