I have just found out I am expecting baby number 2 and my due date is 1st May.

Has anyone else found out they are expecting and looking for some company?

@PinkPombear1 Congratulations! It must be really reassuring to see those flickering heartbeats x

@Lisac1991 Congratulations to you too! I take it as they were able to see the heartbeats as well?

Thank you, although I know anything can happen, it's still very exciting! I'm just going to take it two weeks at a time (I'm booked to go back to the EPU in two weeks)

Will you book an early scan do you think?

Lisac1991 · 11/09/2024 18:43

Yes heart beat seen when zoomed in!

Lisac1991 · 11/09/2024 18:44

Yes heart beat seen 😊 but at first they couldn’t see it and then they zoomed right in to show me baby and we saw it

Anyone else want to sleep all day? Definitely more tired this time around x

Hello everyone and congratulations! I got a positive test 4 days ago and scan suggest I'm around 6 weeks so Due in April/May? I hope you don't mind me joining you as I actually haven't had a period since Dec 2022 so have no idea what date to go by 😅
This will be my second, I have a 1 year old son, too. I'm feeling happy, nauseous, excited and very very nervous about having 2 under 2!

You'll be fine. Not gonna lie it is hard but so so worth it 😊 I'm gonna have 3 under 4 😅

GraySweatpants · 11/09/2024 20:32

@PinkPombear1 I’m still on the fence about it tbh it’s the cost and all 🤷🏻‍♀️ Might consider getting one around 8W since you get to see more of the fetus. We had a scan at 7W with our first and it’s literally just a flickering red bean 😂

Rella357 · 11/09/2024 20:52

Hi all, just got my BFP today, I think I'm 5 weeks. I had HG with my second LO so dreading it happening again. Trying to eat all the foods while I still can

Ah 8 weeks might be a sweet spot then! Yes to be honest, I didn't know what I was supposed to be looking at on the scan, it just kept appearing then disappearing 😂

Can imagine it feels like a lifetime before the 12 week scan though!

Can I be added to the facebook group please?

tb4122 · 11/09/2024 21:43

Hi, I tested positive today, second baby. Very early days so may not stick, but today I am pregnant Smile (with a due date of 20th May).

Yes me I'm exhausted and nauseous all day, struggling to do anything tbh! X

Seasidegirll · 12/09/2024 11:58

Would love to be added into the Facebook group is possible please! I find it so hard to keep up on here. I’ve got an early scan booked for a few weeks time when I’ll be about 7 weeks, it absolutely cannot come soon enough!!

Same, I am currently in bed eating secret Haribos. I also have a cold. Feel utterly shattered.

ShortWide · 12/09/2024 16:42

Hi everyone, I have tested postive, first pregnancy, and am about 3-4 weeks. It was our third cycle of trying and it hasn’t sunk in but I am over the moon!

Already had some nausea and VERY sore boobs. But the thing I’m struggling with the most is not talking about it!!! I am so desperate to share the news but my sensible head knows it’s not a good idea at this moment. So I’m saying it on here
😁

My due date is 24th May ❤️

Blossomofhope · 12/09/2024 17:09

Hi ladies,
I have been testing positive this week after a failed ivf cycle last cycle. I had some spotting so I started taking progesterone pessaries - it’s like a habit at this stage. I have them left over from ivf cycles and being prescribed them for early spotting in natural cycles. I do not want to go back to my ivf clinic, I feel traumatised from it at this stage after miscarriages and failed ivf.
Long story short is anyone taking progesterone pessaries for a natural pregnancy? I don’t even believe this is happening honestly.

Seasidegirll · 12/09/2024 17:54

Hi @Blossomofhope! Can’t comment about the progesterone but just wanted to say that I’m in a similar situation, pregnant naturally after a failed round of ivf. I’m nearly 6 weeks and I’m still in complete shock!! I hope the spotting stops for you soon x

WishingUponARainbow · 12/09/2024 18:48

Hi everyone!
I'm so pleased I can finally say I am around 4 weeks 3 days pregnant with a little rainbow baby 🥹🥹🥹 tested positive yesterday after trying for nearly 2 years and a miscarriage last April.

Soooo incredibly nervous/excited/anxious/all the emotions! I have spent today going to the toilet when I can checking I'm not bleeding 🙃

Going on first day of my last period I am due around the 19th May but I'm convinced I ovulated early this cycle (didn't track) so god knows!!
Hoping this little bean sticks this time and excited to go along this journey with you all 🤗

It’s really hard to comprehend isn’t it? I’m so shocked. Ya the spotting has stopped since I self prescribed myself progesterone 😅

Congrats. I understand the anxiety. We are at the 3 year mark with one natural and one ivf miscarriage along the way. It’s all so bizarre. When are you planning to go to the gp?

WishingUponARainbow · 12/09/2024 19:05

@Blossomofhope not sure yet, I'm probably going to wait a week or 2 because I still don't quite believe this is real haha! How about you?
I actually have a HyCosy procedure booked in next Tuesday so I'm thinking more about when to cancel that... I want to cancel tomorrow to give them time to find someone else to fill the space, but I'm scared it will jinx me and I'll lose little bean, so I want to cancel on Monday at the very last minute but I feel guilty about potentially wasting an appointment!
I suppose all in all if something goes awry over the weekend I wouldn't be able to go anyway because I'd be bleeding 🫠 it's just such a headf**k!!
Congrats to you also btw 😀

I totally understand. I have an appointment with a new fertility doctor in a week or so and I also feel like I’ll jinx it if I cancel it. It’s just so hard to believe.

Hello! I felt a bit nauseous the last two mornings but can’t imagine that’s possible so early (about 4 weeks). It’s all so confusing.
