Due March 2026

[TheFutureIs]

I have just had a positive result! Looks like I’m due early March 2026.
Second baby for me, eldest is 9 in September.

Thought it would be lovely to have somewhere to share our progress

@ThisZippyViewerwe’re having an early scan at 8 weeks, once that is all good we’ll tell people

Thanks for replying 😊
I am leaning towards this plan as well - I have to declare it in work straight away for health and safety so I think that’s making me question things 😆

I’m enjoying having it as our secret (although I’ve told a few key people at work).

My dad is quite scarred from when his mum had a late term loss so don’t want to cause upset by telling him too soon in case anything happens

Another for 8 weeks here! We did with our first so have decided to again. We’ve planned someone to watch the little one so we can go out afterwards, hopefully all being well we can tell people after that 🥰

We have an early scan next week & will probably tell our parents after then. I will also tell work then too as I have a high risk job
& need amended duties asap.
Everybody else will be told after the 12 week scan xx

@TheFutureIs @Peanutbutterjelly123 @FlossiePot91 right that’s my decision made then 🤣 thank you all xx

My boss knows and I’ll probably tell people at work after our scan too.. but it’s 2 weeks on Weds, so for now I’ll just have to look like a lazy cow staying quiet & ducking out of certain aspects of my job that I can’t do 🙈 (radiation)

I’ll be keeping it secret until after 12 week scan. Previous 2 pregnancies I’ve told my mum around 7/8 weeks but not sure I will this time. I didn’t want to tell my daughter until after 12 weeks scan just in case something happened so will tell her then again. I didn’t tell a couple friends early previously as I was a bridesmaid at a wedding and also other best friends at a get together would know if I wasn’t drinking. Got nothing lined up these next 6 weeks really so think it will stay our secret until then

Also due March 10th @Scribblespree@bookworm24

Hope it's OK to join. Have my positive and now 5w 5d 😊 was TTC for a year.

Feeling a little run down and have anxiety in the mornings the last to days but taking day at a time

Ive been keeping it quiet. My boss knows and maybe 2 other people. My dad has just been diagnosed with cancer and after having a MMC last year I don't want to add extra stress to family atm

Can hardly see the phone through tears.

DH has been absolutely horrible to me tonight. Don't know what's gotten into him. I'm so worried this stress might not help the prospects of pregnancy.

He was just so horrible today.

@littlefox90im so sorry to hear about your dad. Totally understandable and nothing wrong with having a little secret for a while.

@Everythingisokayoh my goodness what has happened? I’m so sorry he was being so horrible. Absolutely no need for that and to add to the emotional and physical craziness of pregnancy. Please try not to worry about baby though. A stressful night isn’t going to harm the pregnancy

@littlefox90 welcome to the club! Congratulations on your pregnancy. Totally understable that you’re anxious. As you say, just take one day at a time and live in the now - right now you are pregnant and no reason to suggest everything isn’t progressing perfectly as it should ♥️ Have you decided yet if you’ll be having an early scan?

@Everythingisokay I’m so sorry to hear that!! That’s so upsetting. Whatever has gotten in to him to make him act in such a way, you certainly don’t deserve to be made to feel that way. As bubblebee said, baby won’t be harmed by a stressful night. If it makes you feel any better (saying this as it does me), if you think about our ancestors - the nomadic hunter gatherer kind - they will have been exposed to all sorts of life threatening stresses and so evolutionarily, our species will have been evolved to have pregnancies that can withstand spikes and dips in accuse stress without affecting the overall health or success of the pregnancy.
Hope you have a close friend or family member you can confide in today so you can get some in person support as well? ❤️

@Renee33i contacted my gp in the morning who referred me within a few hours, and epu had called me by 1pm and i had an appointment by the next day

@Mummysparrowi had cramps when starting the suppositories but now theyve died down so assume jts normal? I thought it was more my uterus stretching hoping its a good sign

@LevelOneAgainmy nausea really ramps up while driving and im the only driver for a while as DH has had shoulder surgery

@ThisZippyViewerive told my sisters as i need the emotional support and 2 friends (ones been ttc for over a year and we speak daily about her struggles so it seemed unfair to leave her jn the dark about the pregnancy considering we know each others doo etc...it was more so out of kindness and consideration that i had to let her know, either way it was gna be shit news for her to know so i decided to pull the band aid off sooner rather than later 😫 wont be telling parents till after 12w due to prev pregnancy losses. Might have to tell work a bit earlier as i would prefer to wfh whilst im sick x

@Everythingisokay i was also in tears last night, like out of control sobbing. My little one has a cough and I said to DH last week that he was in charge of getting her the repeat prescription for her inhaler, which he’s not done.

So I absolutely spiralled and spent the night sobbing and also thought ‘I’m so not ready to have two, what have I done?!’ And then I was crying because I felt awful thinking that.

Feel much better this morning, hormones are WILD.

Oh and if anyone is still testing, I learnt a lesson this morning to ignore line progression. These are the same brand, same time, same wee, and look at the difference!

Nausea = pretty bad this am.
Tried satsumas
Tried salt & vin snack a jacks

We have our viability scan tomorrow, and I am so nervous 😩

Good luck tomorrow @Peanutbutterjelly123 how far along are you?

Hope everything is settled this morning @Everythingisokay sending hugs. He shouldn’t be speaking to you badly, pregnant or not.

@mumtrovert i honestly have no idea by think about 6 weeks. Haven’t had a period since April and wasn’t tracking ovulation. But it’s 3 weeks since positive test so I am hoping that it’s not too soon 🤞

hope things are better today @Everythingisokay x

@Peanutbutterjelly123keeping fingers and toes crossed for your viability scan tomorrow!! We’ve got ours next Monday and I’m counting down the days.

@EverythingisokayI’m also really sorry to hear that. No one should be treating you poorly or making you feel this upset, regardless of whether you are pregnant or not. Hope today is better.

I am also feeling the hormones, this weekend I cried watching random telly as I felt convinced for no reason that DH was about to leave me. Pregnancy brain is so weird.

@Bumblebee1984 @Scribblespree @FizzLemon @mumtrovert @Peanutbutterjelly123 @Mushroo

Thank you so much ladies 💓 💓

We stay very far from my family and I was a bit emotional last night saying how I miss them and what a great place it would be to raise children where they are (which he said multiple times himself).

So he starting having a go saying that I'm looking down on his city etc etc. He'd never consider moving as he is sort of dependent on his parents I would say. Just never cut that cord and would never consider moving away from them. I didn't ask to move, was just shedding a tear or two about missing family but any time I do, he gets angry and defensive.

I also was upset about some permanent work related situation which he's well aware off and admits it's far for great, but also started having a go at me saying 'just suck it up', 'life isn't fair, accept it'.
Basically, I had an emotional evening and he started having a go at me, making these snarky comments.

I know I couldn't cope with a 5th loss, I'm already walking on eggshells but was mostly feeling positive until yesterday.

We are also going for a week away with his parents and I told him one week was too much and we could join later, but he is not even considering. Last time we went, I found his mum was wanting to control things with DC1 so much and with all that's going on now, I'd find it harder to deal with this time (and I wasn't already too happy last time).

He can be so selfish sometimes.

He kept apologising last night and this morning saying he was extremely exhausted after having had to travel away for work. I get it but it wasn't a reason to be the way he was.
I'm often tired but still treat people appropriately.

I have worked out the progesterone when done rectally sometimes gives me trapped wind issues which was the cause of the bad cramps on Saturday. The ligaments cramps are fine in comparison.
Only 3+5 but the tiredness has hit me like a brick wall today 😩
