Hi all. I don’t really need any advice, I just want to share my news with someone other than my husband!

Back story: We have been trying to conceive for a year now, lots of tears and lots money spent on vitamins, pregnancy tests and ovulation tests. We both agreed that if it was meant to happen then it would, and we decided we didn’t want to go down the medical intervention route (IVF etc) to make it happen. (We already have one child which we are more than grateful for). To be honest I had given up hope, we would really love another baby but it just didn’t seem to be happening for us…

… until a couple of days ago! First picture taken on Monday, second picture from today.

Honestly, it seems a bit too good to be true and I think I’m still in shock. I’m feeling absolutely awful already, I am 4weeks 1day going by my last period. Due date calculator is saying 30th April. Although I am incredibly happy, grateful and excited, I feel so so sick already, I have gone off most food, really sensitive to smells and I’m exhausted.

I’m trying not to get my hopes up as it is so early! Anyone else in a similar position or due around the same time?

If you got this far, thanks for reading!

Congratulations

Ah op congratulations! 🎉🎉

I was in a similar position and ended up telling my mum at 4w5d because of a- my sickness and b-because I needed to talk to someone.

No one else is finding out until my scan at 8 weeks which is on tuesday thankfully.

Congratulations ❤️❤️

Thank you and congratulations to you too! I wasn't well with my first so I wasn’t expecting it to be easy, but I also don’t remember feeling this bad this early! Are you in the UK? I have had my first midwife appointment through but no scan date yet. I did an early private scan with my first but it was an internal scan and it was horrendous, so as much as I want to see baby, I really don’t want to do it again!

Many congratulations OP 🎊 💕 x

Wonderful news OP congratulations!!

We are in a similar position, we have a DD who is 4 and have been trying for another since she was born basically with not even a sniff of a positive test.
We also said no to intervention and just said if it's meant to be, it'll be.
4 years later I am now almost 9 weeks pregnant, can't believe it!

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Nyckol · 24/08/2024 07:25

Congratulations! Lovely news! If you want an early scan go after 7/8 wks and should be able to do via abdomen x

Olika · 24/08/2024 07:27

Congratulations!!! 💞 I had a scan at about 8 weeks and it was not internal. I had a previous MC though so needed to know baby was ok for my peace of mind.

Lilypad121 · 24/08/2024 08:10

Oh congratulations! I saw this thread because I was looking as we're in a similar position! Took us 5 years to conceive our DS and we've hoped to have a second but agreed to let it happen naturally. 18 months of trying with no hint of a positive test until now, period is a few days late so just did a Clearblue and it's positive! We're both in shock, can't believe it 😁🥰

Jottie123 · 20/09/2024 16:59

Sorry I didn’t get notifications for some reason!

Massive congratulations to you too @sel2223 and @Lilypad121. Good luck with pregnancy, I hope it is smooth sailing for you both!

We had a private scan last week (internal), measuring at 7weeks 6days with a healthy little heartbeat 🥰 I know it’s still early so trying not to get my hopes up yet!
