Hi congratulations!!!

Question r.e implanting bleeding, how many days after that did you get your BPF?

Gorgina · 25/01/2024 12:39

Maybe four days after, but I never checked before …

Sorry to hear that 😞😞
Hope it happens for you

I had constant pain yesterday and was a bit worried but after doing some research it seems to be normal.
Nothing like the cramps I had when I had a MC at 7 weeks where there was no doubt.
I think pains are normal early on ☺️

Emma19821 · 25/01/2024 16:47

Hey there I'm 41 with my unexpected pregnancy. I'll be 42 when baby is born in 42.

I'm 44 ladies and 9 weeks - it's been a rough road but I have a good feeling this time (🤞🏼) and my scan today was all positive!

@Kimbychick please don't give up - sending you lots of positivity and hugs xx

9 weeks is a great milestone to get to! Once the heartbeat has been seen the risks go down dramatically so hope that brings you so comfort.
9 weeks seems like an age away for me!!

Gorgina · 26/01/2024 06:48

I am really happy for you 😊I woke up today with no breast pain But have nausea. I hope nothing is wrong!!I am over 5 weeks.

40andhopeful · 26/01/2024 09:59

I'm the same! Boobs aren't sore today but was very nauseous earlier. That seems to have worn off too.
Staying positive though!! 🤞🤞

Kimbychick · 26/01/2024 12:33

@MudandMoet thank you so much. I just found out last night that my cousin and his partner are expecting a baby. They are both 43 and she is almost 11 weeks. It was unexpected as her periods were irregular and she didn't know she was pregnant. I am so happy for them and love hearing positive news 😁🩷xxx
