Hi guys,

if like me you’ve just got your BFP, then it’s likely you’re due in January too!
congratulations.

@SureLook thank you that’s good to know! I’m in Scotland so also a bit different, the nhs website says ideally before 10 weeks for booking appt but have seen a lot of people saying they tend to now go a lot later post Covid so hopefully all ok.

The tiredness is another level too, I’m in bed for 8 most nights now!

@Jadeypie Ugh yeah it’s crazy! Currently 6+3 so yes, really feeling it. I can’t stomach salads or anything healthy haha. Mornings are definitely the worst for me and evenings. I am struggling to sleep as I feel sick. Luckily during the day it does calm down a little bit but it’s always there lingering.

I am keeping oat cakes next to bed for when I first wake up as that helps and also I find that sucking lemons helps and sucking sweets.

Is anyone else struggling to get to sleep too? I think digestion is slower… I am trying to eat like 1.5 hrs before bed but still doesn’t feel enough. The issue is that I go to bed really early and I eat dinner at like 7ish so I can’t possibly wait any longer than an hour! Maybe I need to have lighter meals?

I tend to eat more of a morning and early afternoon then somthing small and light around half 4 or 5. Im asleep by 8 most nights ha. I wake multiple times tho and start my day super early! Half 4 it started today xx

My gp didn't even put my referral in (uk) I rang the hospital I've chose to give birth at i was 8 weeks and she put me down as urgent because I was over 7. I got my appointment few days later for next week, I'll be 11 weeks x

@HazelPeer baby wants what baby wants 😂

@LilacPombears keep ringing them if you're keen to get going. They'll book you in if you annoy them enough 😂

@Jadeypie same, waking multiple times and awake before 6am 🥴

I think it’s the smells of home cooking makes me feel more nauseous

@RealTealQueen sorry if I missed this but why do you need to go to EPAU also? I hope everything is OK!

Thanks. I’ve had three previous MCs so I asked if there was anything we could do to help this one and my GP referred me to EPU to get me under the care of a consultant, I think.

SureLook · 03/06/2025 09:40

@RealTealQueen that's good that you've been referred. Let us know how you get on. Keeping everything crossed x

LilacPombears · 03/06/2025 10:33

@SureLook @Jadeypie it’s mad how it’s so different everywhere!

Funnily enough just had a call there and now booked in for end of week 😂

SureLook · 03/06/2025 10:41

@LilacPombears yeah, it's wild how much it varies. Ah, great. Sorted so!

RealTealQueen · 03/06/2025 12:05

I’ve just got back from EPU. Scan is showing a growing baby, measuring about a week bigger than expected. They’ve given me a progesterone prescription to take for 6 weeks. I had to specifically ask for that though. She has no concerns. She’s discharged me but said if I have a wobble and want another scan, I just have to phone them, which is lovely and will save me money on private scans. Fingers crossed everything keeps progressing. I’m feeling cautiously optimistic.

Moosey898 · 03/06/2025 12:18

That's great news @RealTealQueen ! Did you ovulate earlier than you thought then? Hope it's given you some reassurance

Nope, I’ve got everything tracked in my app. Can’t explain it! But I suppose we’re talking millimetres so this early it doesn’t take much to be off a few days. My husband jokingly asked “who’s the father then?!” 🤣

SureLook · 03/06/2025 14:05

@RealTealQueen I'm delighted to hear all is well ❤️

oldmcdonald87 · 03/06/2025 15:23

Not good news at EPU 😔 they determined pregnancy of unknown location so it’s either early
miscarriage or possible ectopic pregnancy. Due to go back to have my HCG checked on Thursday and based on the result, may need a further scan. Devastated and scared. Bleeding is still just light spotting.

Good luck everyone with your babies. Thanks for your support. Hopefully I’ll be back here another time.

@oldmcdonald87 So sorry to hear this ❤️ I had an ectopic on 1/4/25. (Pregnant again before I even got a period so there is hope even though I know it won’t feel like it just now). It’s absolutely awful. I didn’t need to have any intervention though (no methotrexate or anything). Let us know how you get on. Hopefully you will be the same as me 💕 Sending you lots of love xxxxx

Moosey898 · 03/06/2025 17:28

@oldmcdonald87 I'm so sorry 😞 sending all the love your way.
