Due May 2024?

[Kerry93]

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 🥰

Do you have a scan today? I’m sure it will be absolutely fine!

trigger warning- potential loss

morning guys, I’ve had such a horrible week! Everything was going really well with the pregnancy- sore boobs, exhaustion, morning sickness all full on. On Tuesday night, I had a super stressful drive home but felt absolutely fine physically, went for a wee and when I wiped- lots of red blood. I just instantly felt such horrible panic and anxiety. We went straight to the maternity unit who did bloods and also examined my cervix. I also passed a huge clot whilst there and just felt like this is it- game over.

my HCG levels were 18,000 and my cervix was closed when examined which they said is promising. It’s so hard having to then wait 3 days for an ultrasound. I imagine I’ve miscarried but I’m still holding a tiny bit of hope that it’s a threatened miscarriage or something else that just caused a bleed.

The hard bit is I’ve still had some sickness and my boobs are so tender, it feels so cruel. I know that’s hormone related though and as my levels drop they’ll alleviate.

Praying for a miracle tomorrow but expecting the worst and it’s really hard/upsetting.

@Cinai being in limbo is just horrible. I hope there's a positive outcome for you on your next scan.
I'm feeling tired today. I felt a bit off yesterday. - really cold. I felt a bit better after some warm food. I read it could have been a hormone surge. We shall see. I've got my scan booked for Sunday. I'm really nervous. I want there to be a little heartbeat so badly. My dh is being very sweet and supportive.

@Cinai sending you some supportive hugs and positive vibes.

I'm in the middle of a 2 weeks wait for a re-scan.

I had a Scan Weds last week at EPU, arranged by my future consultant (due to losing a baby at 20 weeks in August 22, I had only found out I was pregnant 2 days before!)

Due to my last LMP and according to my Flo app, I thought I was around 7 weeks - however the sonographer measured me at 5 and a half weeks. Gestational and Yolk sac visible but no heartbeat. Which they said all looked fine with what they were seeing, perhaps my dates are wrong (I don't track ovulation, so perhaps?)

It completely floored me, we are in limbo, I'm up and down, have had symptoms on and off, but at 41 and really wanting this rainbow baby with my partner, I don't know how to feel. I never suffered with anxiety, before the loss and funeral of our baby boy last year and this has brought it all back!

Some days I'm hopeful and manifesting good thoughts, and other days I just feel empty and numb!

Good luck! Big hugs x

@LondonGirl1992 Don't lose hope just yet ❤️

@LondonGirl1992 please don't lose any hope just yet!

I know it's a devastating feeling being in limbo.

I'm waiting for a rescan on Weds, it'll be 2 week since my first early scan where I measured 5.5 weeks when I thought I was 7 weeks 2 days, yolk sac and no heartbeat.

Keep holding on! Sending you lots of positive vibes, love and hugs xx

@UnderstatedElegance I hope your scan goes well too!

I've been having these sudden cold moments too! I thought it was just me.

Sending you love and hugs. Keep positive (I know it's hard, I'm in limbo myself!) xx

Thanks @ttcthoughts that gives me my first glimmer of hope since my scan yesterday. So glad it all was well for you in the end!

Thank you for the support @Nina7 @UnderstatedElegance

I’m so sorry that you’re also in limbo @neverenoughwine Really hope that your dates are just off and that you’ll get a positive result!

Thinking of you @LondonGirl1992 I hope all will still turn out alright for you

What a stressful and anxious time this is for all of us ❤️

Thanks so much all! Just after writing this I had another big bleed- it’s like a gush and then stops. Rang the department back and waiting for a triage call back. So hard to not lose hope.

thoufhts are with everyone else going through horrible waits- seems so unfair but I hope you all get the news you hope for.

@LondonGirl1992 - oh no! Hope they ring you back shortly and dont leave you waiting.

Will keep everything crossed for you x

Thanks! They said it’s most likely a miscarriage but nothing they can do- so just more waiting for the scan tomorrow so we will know for sure. 😔 I think I already knew that’s what it was anyway- but it’s still tough.

@LondonGirl1992 oh hun, really hope it isn’t 😢 crossing everything for you! Take good care of yourself.

@LondonGirl1992 I’m so sorry to read this.

I had some heavy bleeding in my last 2 pregnancies due to haematomas the amount of blood was unbelievable and I was so shocked when I saw a baby on the screen I can’t remember exactly when it happens but it was before 12 weeks.

Bleeding doesn’t always mean miscarriage bur of course it can mean that.

Sending lots of love. Let us know how it goes tomorrow. ❤️

@LondonGirl1992 thinking of you. Breathe and keep strong! There may well still be hope. xx

Thank you! I’ve been feeling positive all week because my cervix was closed after they initially examined me. But today I feel I’ve lost all hope- heavy bleeding and bad cramping. I just feel so sad. Im glad tomorrow I’ll finally know.

thanks for the lovely words all.

@LondonGirl1992 ❤️❤️

Thinking of you @LondonGirl1992

I had this with my first, I literally poured with blood on several occasions passed massive clots and I went on to have a successful pregnancy there’s definitely still hope. I had no cramping or anything. It was just a bleed they couldn’t really explain 🤞🏻

@LondonGirl1992 I was listening to a podcast the other day about pregnancy and it said up to 80% of women have some sort of bleeding during pregnancy.

I just had my scan- it was terrifying and I cried as soon as the ultrasound lady called us through. I couldn’t even say my DOB! Asked her to turn the screen away from us and she was so quiet and looked so sad. After about 5 minutes of prodding around she said ‘so there is a pregnancy and a heartbeat but I can also see a bleed which explains the bleeding’.

I have a bleed lateral to the gastation sack but baby is still there and alive. She said she’s seen it happen and babies survive but equally miscarriage can happen.

so now it’s just a horrible horrible waiting game. Has anyone else ever been through this?

@LondonGirl1992 Oh that sound so scary! I'm so glad there's still a chance though and your wee one is hanging on xx

This is exactly what I have! I’m worried as it looked like the bleed surrounded the baby above it- and I just feel quite fearful now. When did you stop bleeding? It’s such a horrible worry

@LondonGirl1992 it was for weeks, I can’t remember exactly how long but it ended up being old brown blood but it was awful and really horrible to bleed for that long during pregnancy. Sending love and I hope the bleeding calms down soon. Xx

Hi everyone,

My partner and I had been trying for a baby for about 14 months and got our very first BFP on 24th September. From the date of my last period it looks like I am due on 31st May. So far, the only symptoms I’ve really had are sore boobs and tiredness. I do have an awful cold though and feel rubbish so it’s hard to tell what is pregnancy related.
I’m feeling really anxious not knowing what is going on in there. I did my referral for midwifery on 25th but haven’t been given an appointment yet. I keep telling myself that there’s no bleeding etc so for now I just have to assume that all is well. The wait until the 12 week mark for a scan feels like a lifetime!!
