Anyone want to join me? I'm likely jumping the gun as I have a history of reoccurring loss but it always helps me to chat as if it really will work out this time 🤞🏼❤️

All the best @bringmearainbow for tomorrow.

Sorry to hear you’ve not been feeling well @MixedCouple. hope you are feeling better soon and you get your appointment through.

Oh @Tammy2603 sorry to hear nausea has hit. Hope your scan goes ok on Saturday. Definitely had some strange dreams too.

Sunray33 · 30/11/2023 16:10

@missmoosh im 5w+4 too and am in the exact same shoes symptoms wise. I had a chemical pregancy in September (first pregnancy) so must say I’ve been trying to not get too excited just in case things don’t work out. I’ve booked a scan for 8 weeks just for reassurance and hopefully I’ll then be able to focus on enjoying the news instead. I have a sister who didn’t get many symptoms early on- so I know some people just don’t or they hit a little later on. Hoping to share with close family at Christmas.

missmoosh · 30/11/2023 16:16

@Sunray33 it's nice to hear other people in the same position. I know logically symptoms don't always start until 6+ weeks. I just keep spiralling lol hoping it's just anxiety and like you once the scan is done maybe I will relax a little! Sorry to hear about your chemical! We also want to tell close family at Xmas, which I think is adding to my nerves of something going wrong!

ITS TWINS! As the lady started our private scan I joked I hope there is only 1, she paused and said no there is 2

MrsHousePlant · 30/11/2023 17:17

@MummyBear2519 ahhh what amazing news congratulations! How are you feeling?

ExpectantEs · 30/11/2023 17:40

Wooow huge congratulations @MummyBear2519!!

MummyBear2519 · 30/11/2023 18:26

Thank you everyone. Me and my best friend were joking last night about twins. I don’t think the shock has set in yet. Have been told they are high risk as they share a placenta and sack but there is a line between them which means they won’t get tangled in each other!? Thankfully my midwife appointment is tomorrow so can speak to them then as she said I won’t go 2 weeks without seeing a doctor to keep an eye on us

Nocoffeenotalkie · 30/11/2023 18:53

Wow! Twins! Congratulations @MummyBear2519 it's good that they will be keeping a close eye on you.

Tammy2603 · 30/11/2023 19:28

@MummyBear2519 Wow congratulations! What wonderful news!!

@Sunray33 Thank you :) . I have everything crossed for Saturday!

soon2be6 · 30/11/2023 20:06

Hi ladies, just joining! Im 6w4d and dont feel pregnant at all! Constant tiredness but thats normal for me (mum of 5). Had a mc at 8 weeks in august, 2 weeks before our wedding 😔 so hoping this little rainbow baby is okay. Had cravings for cheese at 6weeks but thats gone now! Enjoyed reading your posts, theyre reassuring!

@MummyBear2519 congratulations!! How wonderful x

wannabe123 · 30/11/2023 20:09

@MummyBear2519 congratulations

Good luck to all those waiting for scans.

I had my 8 week appointment yesterday. By my last bleed (which was a miscarriage) I am 9 weeks +5. I think I'm more like 8 +5. I've been told I'll be consultant led as I had a c-section with my first but the consultant is very keen for people to have VBACs which I'm pleased about. I'm also potentially being referred to fetal medicine because my little boy was born with a hole in his heart. Feeling very looked after and looking forward to getting my 12 week scan date 😁

User491 · 30/11/2023 20:39

@MummyBear2519 congratulations that's lovely news!
I've just had an early scan 6+1 and we have twins too ❤️
We had IVF and 2 embryos transferred, so there was a chance.. absolutely over the moon 🥰

Congratulations to everyone on their BFP's and good luck for everyone with scans etc ☺️

justanotherlaura · 30/11/2023 21:14

Congratulations @MummyBear2519 and @User491! How exciting!

I have an 8 week scan booked for Sunday, feels a million years away still!

Today I can only eat bran flakes and toast, thankfully I have both in abundance :)

chilliflakesmum · 30/11/2023 22:32

Oh wow @MummyBear2519 Twins!! Congratulations!! You must be still in shock!

All the best tomorrow @bringmearainbow Hope all is at is should be 🤞

Had a scan today, 8+4 and all is well in there so far 🙏 no more scans now until the 12 week one, whenever that will be!

MixedCouple · 01/12/2023 00:07

@Sunray33 thank you. All the best at the 8 week scan. The time will fly by.

@MummyBear2519 congrats!! Sorry didn't see if you have kids already. My husband has been joking about it with me as my symptoms hit hard at 4weeks.

I already have my maternity PJs out as my tummy has already gotten quiet big. Liie it remembers what to do 😂 how am I meant to hide this from family over xmas.

@justanotherlaura I gotten to that stage on Monday. Only want bland food now. Chips, bread, cereal, cheese. The thought of anything else makes me gag. I forced myself to have some fruit and right after nausea hit badly.

NphysT · 01/12/2023 06:29

Congratulations @MummyBear2519 and @User491!

Good luck to everyone waiting on scans!

I'm currently experiencing the worst back ache I've ever felt. Anyone have any tips on what can help? Is it too early for a pregnancy pillow? Am 9 weeks + 3 days

Savvy21 · 01/12/2023 07:05

@MummyBear2519 congratulations! How exciting for you.
@bringmearainbow hope all goes well today.
@NphysT also experiencing backache and its making me a bit worried. But then I guess it might be things stretching out and loosening up. When it gets too bad then the hot water bottle is my friend!

missmoosh · 01/12/2023 08:11

Got my 3+ weeks on clearblue this morning, which has helped ease my mind. Had read they can be inaccurate so we all prepared to see a 2-3 weeks, but horaah it was 3+

bringmearainbow · 01/12/2023 09:16

Scan this morning went amazing still have a HB ❤️ got another scan booked in for 2 weeks time
