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

Found a heart beat @ my scan

Same here! Was great to see a tiny little white jelly bean on the screen and see/hear the heartbeat 😊 Measuring 1 day behind than I thought at 6weeks 5 days

@worldwidetravel2017 that's great news.

I decided to book a private scan (for this afternoon!) after the spotting. I'd rather know sooner rather than later what's going on. The NHS symptoms does list spotting as a symptom for this stage but I didn't have any bleeding with my successful pregnancy, just my miscarriages.

Hi ladies,
Tentatively joining at 6 weeks preggo after 2 1/2 years ttc, 2 miscarriages and finally a successful first round of IVF. We have our first scan on Thursday and praying everything will be okay but so extremely anxious as don’t have many symptoms, sore boobs have practically disappeared but slight nausea is kicking in and get very light headed/dizzy if I stand up too fast. All in all just a nerve wracking time 😬

Bumblebee1984 · 21/07/2025 14:14

That’s great news @worldwidetravel2017and @Scribblespree

welcome @WishingUponARainbowthays quite a journey to get here. I also get dizzy when I stand up too quickly. 6 weeks is when my nausea kicked in each time. Not feeling too bad today though which is good after feeling rubbish most of the weekend

Dejavu2025 · 21/07/2025 15:46

After some bleeding over the weekend, I had a private scan today. Measured 6 weeks, couldn't find a heartbeat yet but the sonographer said it was just too early. Everything else looked fine, baby in the right place, thick walls etc. Bleeding has come from a haematoma which I never even knew was a thing until I read this thread. Have another scan on Friday at the hospital so hoping for a heartbeat by then 🤞

Mountainview8 · 21/07/2025 17:26

Just been for my scan, there was a heartbeat but it was slow and difficult to find and it's measuring 2 weeks less than it should be, plus they could see a bleed site. So going back in a week for another scan, but I'm not hopeful.

Bookedsolid · 21/07/2025 18:25

I also had my scan today. Measuring 7 weeks 4 days which was two days out from what Flo said, but we didn’t track ovulation so could well be right. Heartbeat was there and she said everything is looking good.

But there was also a large cyst (8cm by 5cm) that took up half the screen! She didn’t seem worried and said to mention to the midwife at my booking in appointment, but I can’t help but feel a little anxious about it all. I think I will call EPU tomorrow and see if there’s anything I need to do?

FizzLemon · 21/07/2025 20:21

Also had mine today, and was measuring one day ahead of what I thought! We didn’t get to see loads at 7+3 other than a little blob and yolk sack, but we saw the heartbeat flicker and loved it. Feeling reassured, and also I can’t wait for the next scan (now trying to convince DH that a 10 week scan is a great idea 😆)

CL05071998 · 21/07/2025 20:29

@BeastAngelMadwoman so sorry to hear this, I've been there twice before and its so tough! Sending virtual hugs, mind yourself through it all x

WishingUponARainbow · 21/07/2025 20:55

@BeastAngelMadwoman so sorry to hear your news. It is truly heartbreaking. Take care of yourself 🤍

MrsMcH23 · 21/07/2025 22:31

Hi everyone! Would love to join this group! I’m due my third baby in March. It was a bit of a surprise baby, so not exactly sure how many weeks but think around 6-7 weeks. With my previous pregnancies (both girls) I definitely feel like I had more symptoms at this stage than I do now. I barely have any nausea, cramping, sore boobs this time around. Has anyone had something similar with a third pregnancy? Trying not to worry about lack of symptoms!

@BeastAngelMadwomanso sorry to hear this. Look after yourself

Hopeloveandkindness · 22/07/2025 08:10

I’ve had a really heavy bleed this morning like a period and very red it’s the day of my scan I’m so devastated 😭

mumtrovert · 22/07/2025 08:23

So sorry @BeastAngelMadwoman & everything crossed for you @Mountainview8

Congrats to those with reassuring scans!

Oh I’m sorry @Hopeloveandkindness I’m sure you’re worried sick, but I hope that the scan reassures you that all is OK with baby. What time is your scan?

Casper94 · 22/07/2025 08:33

Sending love and hugs to everyone having difficulties at the moment ❤️❤️

Orangelover · 22/07/2025 08:37

So sorry @BeastAngelMadwoman and wishing you the best for whatever is next for you on this journey.

Wishing everyone with early scans good news and reassurance. @Hopeloveandkindness thinking of you today hoping it's just a blip from a haematoma or something! I can imagine how worrying it must be.

I'm 5 weeks today and pretty much symptomless other than tender boobs but tbh they're not even as bad as my pre-menstrual boobs. Had some cramping last week but that's all died down.

I'm trying so hard to remain chilled, haven't been testing/looking at line progression and I've not done another weeks indicator because I know what I'll be like. This just feels like such a delicate time. I've gone from feeling excited last week to just wishing the time away and hoping for symptoms in between.

TheFutureIs · 22/07/2025 08:46

This early stage is the worst, not knowing if things are progressing well or not etc.
Sending love to those having a difficult time, be kind to yourself and take time out from life if you need to

First time I was actually sick this morning too the nausea is so so bad 😩 it’s 11:20 but I almost don’t want to go with the fear they just confirm the worse that I’m thinking. thank you trying to stay positive
