OCTOBER 2024 BABIES :) THREAD 3

[CDD]

Welcome all expectant mothers of Oct 2024… This thread has been made as we are nearly getting to the end of the 2nd thread and that was made a little last time and people didn’t find it for a abit so making this one now so people can just add their names until the 2nd thread is full. Hope no one minds me doing this :)

Hi everybody! Can I join? Due 8/10 although likely to be earlier since I'll be having an ELCS.
Got my scan next week, can't wait!

I had bleeding at week 5-7 and it's not happened since then so hoping mine is gone it was mix of red and brown never had this with my other babies so defo worried me

I am tentatively rejoining this group! I was on the last thread but left it as got very worried that everything was going to go wrong.

but here I am, the most I’ve ever been pregnant at 9 weeks and have had two scans which look normal. Still don’t believe it might actually happen for us.

@Mitsky believe it ❤️

@Beck208 welcome lovely 🥰 This is only my second pregnancy (9+3) and already showing a bump, although I am carrying twins so that's probably why I'm showing so early! Xxx

@TubbyCustard11 welcome! ❤️ Love the name haha xxx

@Mitsky that's great news, glad you've rejoined ❤️

Hi everyone! Hope you're all okay ❤️ 9+3 today with my twins. Had a scan at 8 weeks where everything looked perfect, but have found myself getting really anxious since then especially since knowing it's twins, feels like double the worry. Have another private scan at 10+6 on 5th April so hopefully everything is still looking good. How's everyone feeling today? I'm just absolutely exhausted xxx

Just had my booking app and midwife was more than happy to support me with vba2c so I'm relieved about that !

@tryforbabynumber2 thank you ❤️ and aww big double congratulations! Ive shown so early with all my others, and always getting the stretchy leggings and maternity things out at 13 weeks, just doesn’t seem to be happening this time, no bump to show off yet 😢 going to be telling close family this weekend, I feel like now ones going to believe me xx

10 weeks today and no real sign of a break from the nausea or exhaustion! 12 week scan is booked for the 11,th April which feels like forever away ... Probably because I really want to tell my 4yo!
To anyone whose symptoms are fading I truly envy you!

All OK at the scan today measuring 11+1.
Dates keep changing by two or three days every scan I get 🙃

No sign of trauma after the fall and baby had a strong HB.

@Trifficult my nausea has only just started to subside past two days so hang on in there.

I slipped down a couple of steps about 3pm. Feet went out in front of me and I really hurt my back. My stairs don't have carpet.

Went to the walk in centre and gotta go back for a full assessment at 5.55. I think she said that my blood pressure is high. I didn't quite catch what she said. So I'm hoping everything is OK. 🤞🤞

@Trifficult I’m 11+2 and it’s only the last few days I feel like the nausea is lifting. It was definitely earlier with my first. Hang in there. You’re nearly there!

@OneSunnyFox I’m so sorry to hear that you’re in such a difficult situation. I don’t know if this helps, but our NHS team advised us that if we went ahead with the NIPT then not to have the combined test at 12 weeks as it could cause doubt/anxiety if there were discrepancies and in their view the NIPT was the more accurate test. I appreciate you’re already in that place of anxiety, but thought it might provide some assurance that the NHS do rate the NIPT accuracy highly. Thinking of you lots as I’m sure the waiting over the next few weeks will be difficult, know you have support here x

Yeah, I'm 11 weeks just and have seen a huge improvement in the sickness in the past few days. I felt at my worse a week ago and am dramatically better now. I'm still on my meds and have some nausea but I haven't vomited in about 4 days now and able to drink some tea and eat some chocolate again now so feeling much more like myself! So hopefully won't be too much longer for those of you still really struggling a week or so behind. Although I was still a lot more sick a lot later in my last two pregnancies.

@Mitsky good news about your scan. You had a work Fri if I remember correctly. Did you decide to cancel?

thanks @StarShipEnterprise1! I wish I’d known! Love your handle btw.

I think I’ve narrowed down why it’s flagged from my report, basically my free beta HCG levels appear to be wildly high. The internet says the tests are supposed to be adjusted so the median is 1 MOM, and my level is above 7 MOM 😂so I must be right at the end of the bell curve. Looking on forums even 3 is deemed high, so I really stood no chance. Explains why I’ve been very ill during the pregnancy.

We are keeping everything crossed, and I’m hoping for my sake my levels come down so I can start to feel like a normal human again. I thought I’d be better by 10 weeks, but it feels like my body is punishing me for that bit longer.

Omg I keep losing the threads 🙈😅 hope everyone is well 💖 have the most horrendous sickness and been rushed off my feet so been hard to keep up in the chat, how is everyone keeping? Xx

@cm3212 @October73 @mrssunshinexxx oh lovelies sorry to hear you're all going through it too! I was so content with my first - if sick - at this stage, it just feels like such a wildly different ride this time. I had early losses before this little pickle, I know lots of us have, but the hematoma and that are really weighing on me. But pleased to hear despite all that your babies are thriving 🩷 not ivf here, congratulations!, so it's just been chalked up as one of those things.

@Trifficult im desperate to tell my 3 year old, she keeps asking when her baby is coming and i just want to say so soon!! My 12 week is ages away, il be nearly 14 weeks, and I want to tell her properly but dont want to temp fate with buying a big sister item or book yet!

@Joey2011let us know how you get on 🩷

I totally resonate with this am a hypnobirthing coach , I had an induction with my first and vow with my following 2 I would do it my way, after having 2 beautiful and empowering hypnobirths when given the chance I feel like a ramble on about it 😅 its an experience I wish I could give everyone as it was honestly the most amazing experience of my life having our babies on my terms in my space and completely in control , calm and it being enjoyable 💖xx

@Trifficult love your user name. I’m guessing you’re a Bluey loving family also 💙😂 xx

@3littlesunshines I found this reassuring, I'm doing an online hypnobirthing course and reading a hypnobirthing book, I'm absolutely terrified of birth so glad that helped you!

Sorry to hear so many of you feel unwell. I hope you all feel better soon! X

@Joey2011 I fell down the stairs 2 days before my 12 week scan everything was fine. But it made me remember I fell down the stairs 3 times when pregnant with my son. I am now like an old lady clinging on to the bannister. I clearly can't judge where my.feet are when pregnant

@Beck208 thank you lovely ❤️ They do say all pregnancies are different! Maybe it could be an indicator of baby's sex or maybe your stomach muscles have repaired themselves better this time around? Xxx
