Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️
Cautiously joining!
I'm 33, partner is 35. We have a DD who is 22 months old.
This is my 3rd cycle trying for #2, I think I'm 3wk+3 due on December 5th.
Trying not to think about it too much as I miscarried before my DD so a bit anxious it could happen again.
DD was also a twin, we lost one early on so I keep wondering if this is another twin pregnancy!
Fingers crossed all of our babies are sticky 🤞🍀

@emmies86 Hi! Just curious about your PPH’s. I had one with my daughter, had a vaginal birth and was instantly whisked off to theatre with a major haemorrhage. Was told I could have lost my life and found the recovery quite hard with anemia still after blood transfusions 😩 I’m pregnant again and wondering if they give you any advice about subsequent births? Do they recommend a c section or anything to try to avoid a reoccurrence? I haven’t had any appointments yet but already apprehensive about what advice I’ll be given (hope you don’t mind me asking!)

@UnicornPrincessSarah hmmm that’s extremely strange… have you tested at any other point today and it’s been positive? Might be a dud test… I personally don’t like those Clear Blue ones!

Hello all I’m new to the thread- got my first positive on the early hours of Saturday (and so dug the previous days test out and it was VERYYYY feint). NHS website said due 5 December. I live in Herefordshire countryside and this will be baby #3 :) I tested with a Clearblue dating test on Friday and it was negative so gave up hope for this cycle but turns out it was a dud! This is my second cycle trying and hoping for a sticky baby!

Welcome and congrats are you Testing with FMU?

I had to search what that meant haha but the first two tests are not FMU but the rest are :) Also, I’m still cramping up a storm (started about 6/7dpo) and I hope that’s a good sign rather than a bad! I know I had heavy cramping with #2 so much so they suspected an ectopic pregnancy, but I’m praying everything is trucking along just as it should be!

@UnicornPrincessSarah I have seen a lot of people say blue dye is unreliable. I’d go to the shop and get a pink dye test (First Response or supermarket brand?)

Oh I’m glad someone else is having cramps haha, even though I’ve had them before you forget what they’re like! I had milky discharge today so seems like we’re on the same timeline :) I wouldn’t worry about the tests, I’m definitely not sure I definitely ovulated on the day I did, it’s just the day Premom said I did and I was using OPKs but it could defo have been another day. Definitely don’t be anxious though! I have been keeping my fingers crossed for twins haha! And I felt freaked out when I got that Clearblue dating that said not pregnant (that wasn’t FMU)
