Great news @Decaffe ๐Ÿ˜ƒ x

Swift1602 · 30/01/2024 06:46

Iโ€™ve had some brown spotting this morning, Iโ€™m 5+4. Should I be worried? No cramps or anything.

HRP1990 · 30/01/2024 06:51

Amazing @Decaffe so happy for you!

@Swift1602 Iโ€™ve always thought brown was old blood, so Iโ€™d say itโ€™s nothing to worry about๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

I have my booking appointment this afternoon - Is it weird that Iโ€™m excited for it? Not the bloods of course.. but talking to an actual midwife and telling her out loud Iโ€™m pregnant lol.

Bakerbean · 30/01/2024 07:05

@HRP1990 thatโ€™s not weird at all! We have our booking in appointment this Friday and Iโ€™m literally counting down the days ๐Ÿ˜… I canโ€™t wait for it to all start to feel more real & I think making it to that appointment is a huge milestone.

Let us know how you get on โ˜บ๏ธ

Xur · 30/01/2024 07:13

@Decaffe congratulations ๐Ÿฅณ I am very happy for you ๐Ÿ™‚

Cat2022 · 30/01/2024 07:47

@HRP1990 good luck for today. I had mine yesterday and with the amount of blood they took I was knackered and asleep by 7pm haha.

Caroline2023 · 30/01/2024 08:09

@Decaffe lovely news!! ๐Ÿฅฐ

HRP1990 · 30/01/2024 08:44

Yes exactly, it is a huge milestone! Thanks @Bakerbean. Argh I already feel faint in general so I best get all the sugar down me before hand @Cat2022 ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ

VT6 · 30/01/2024 09:25

I had mine yesterday and now it feels so real ๐Ÿฅน Iโ€™ve got a private scan on Saturday! Then my next scan is 8th March - Iโ€™ll be 13 week ahhhh

Bakerbean · 30/01/2024 09:45

Aww congratulations @VT6 ! We have our private scan on Saturday too! What time is yours?

bouncingblob · 30/01/2024 09:53

Was that 6 weeks from your last period or 6 weeks from conception? Congrats on the successful ultrasound! X

VT6 · 30/01/2024 09:59

@Bakerbean not until 2:15 (thatโ€™s all the had ๐Ÿ˜ฉ) so going to have to try and keep busy until then, not that Iโ€™ll be able to concentrate on anything at all!
what about you?

MadsAngel · 30/01/2024 10:06

I also have a private scan this Saturday at 10am! I should be 6w6d

HRP1990 · 30/01/2024 10:16

I also have a scan this weekend lol on the Sunday though. Should be 8+3๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

MadsAngel · 30/01/2024 10:37

@Decaffe I think this question was for you if you didn't see earlier :)

VT6 · 30/01/2024 10:41

@HRP1990 i should be 8 weeks exactly - I wish I was patient and could wait a bit longer ๐Ÿซฃ

Decaffe · 30/01/2024 10:45

MadsAngel · 30/01/2024 10:37

@Decaffe I think this question was for you if you didn't see earlier :)

Ah, thank you! Six weeks on the dot from last missed period. I understand itโ€™s only 50:50 as to whether youโ€™d see a heartbeat at that stage, so please donโ€™t anyone worry if yours isnโ€™t visible yet. I felt implantation in the early hours of 8dpo and got a positive test at 10dpo which I think is both on the early side so again please donโ€™t worry if youโ€™re at a 6 week scan and you canโ€™t see it.

Thank you so much for all the well wishes. I feel my mental health is so much better today than it has been! I just feel so very tired. Still no nausea, which is curious?! Wondering if Iโ€™ll be one of the lucky ones who escapes it?! ๐Ÿ‘€

Xur · 30/01/2024 10:45

I also have another scan tomorrow which should be the last before the 12 week scan. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

rupertbear91 · 30/01/2024 11:02

Morning everyone wondering what vitamins you all take? My nausea is really bad these last few days so struggling to eat/drink and even get out of bed but I read iron in prenatal can make it worse. I can't seem to find any without iron in but don't want to stop the vitamins as my diet is pretty awful right now!

Bakerbean · 30/01/2024 11:32

@VT6 ours is at 11am, and all being well we plan on going straight from there to tell my Mum. Iโ€™m anxious but so excited now ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

@MadsAngel & @HRP1990 eeeek super exciting but anxious weekend for you too! I think I will be 8+5 if Iโ€™ve got my dates right. I know thatโ€™s still very early to tell my Mum but I work full time with her every single day & itโ€™s been so hard keeping it from her. Sheโ€™s been waiting a long, long time to become a grandparent and weโ€™ve kept TTC a total secret, so I canโ€™t wait to see her reaction!

SC126 · 30/01/2024 11:38

@rupertbear91 when I was pregnant with my son I really struggled with the pregnacare vitamins. They were too big for me to take and they made me feel even worse so I changed and just took separate folic acid and vit d as that is all that required anyway. I get mine from tesco. Their own brand.

rupertbear91 · 30/01/2024 11:40

Thanks @SC126 I'm just worried I need vitamin c or something with not being able to eat anything better than toast but I guess not feeling so sick would probably help that ๐Ÿ˜‚

HRP1990 · 30/01/2024 11:45

Aw @Bakerbean youโ€™ll have to let us know her reaction ๐Ÿฅฐ

Ours is 9.30am I believe, and weโ€™re going to take our daughter with us.. not sure if thatโ€™s a good idea or not, hopefully sheโ€™s on her best behaviour. In my head itโ€™ll be so lovely for her to be there and see a little bean on screen ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป Iโ€™m sure weโ€™ll leaving in full on tantrum mode though ๐Ÿ˜‚

HolyMoly24 · 30/01/2024 11:48

@rupertbear91 I take seven seas as the pill you have to take is tiny. There is definitely iron in them though so not sure it would help.

MudandMoet · 30/01/2024 11:51

@Decaffe lovely to hear all is okay following your scan. Nice to have that reassurance and relax a little xx

@rupertbear91 my diet is crap right now too, my nausea lasted between week 7-9 and stopped dead on at week 9. Still eating crap though because that's what I'm craving so who am I to deny my body ๐Ÿคญ I'm only taking folic acid 5mg, vitamin D and then the aspirin 150mg. I'm drinking a lot of pure orange juice though I'm not sure if that's even a good thing.
