Just had a positive, faint line and a 1-2 on clear blue. This puts my due date as April 2nd. Anyone else??

i have a 1 year old but it doesn’t make this pregnancy any less anxiety inducing!

I have a lovely fb group from my last pregnancy from mumsnet that we still talk on now. Just wondered if there was an April group on fb from here that I’d missed. The one posted above is only for later in April?

Hi @LT103 there is another Facebook page, you should be able to join using this link.
https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FTmc3WSzT/?mibextid=K35XfP
There are people all due all through April (and a few on March and May now!) on this group. It’s been un-hidden for a little bit so you should be able to join but message if you can’t.

There’s a WhatsApp group too I think the link is on the Facebook page but comment on there if not and we can share it with you.

I was on this chat at the beginning but haven’t been back for a while.

Unfortunately not well, I have had a missed miscarriage. I need to go back again next week and if i haven't started bleeding by then I will need to go through medical management. Best of luck to everyone else with your pregnancies.

I'm sorry to hear this, I had an MMC July 24, and before that a TFMR the previous year. Do you know of 'The Worst Girl Gang Ever'? They have been a life line over the last two years, both for dealing with my losses and getting treatment since then.

Yes the original group that was set up is so supportive, 100% happy to welcome everyone due any time in April to that one ❤️❤️

The group on fb is called April Drinks so its not "obvious" as it was set up when some people were only about 4/5 weeks! Any issues feel free to dm us x

Hi everyone! How is everyone getting on?
Can’t believe we’re into October tomorrow!

Have more people had their 12 week scan? Has anyone had the private gender test?

I am already looking quite pregnant (my friends who I hadn’t seen in a while guessed the other day!) so browsing maternity clothes online for autumn/winter.

Hope everyone is well and getting past the first trimester sickness/exhaustion etc. xx

AlwaysHopefull89 · 30/09/2025 13:07

Just found out we are having non-identical twins !! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 to say we are shocked is an understatement. Very happy and DH is over the moon with excitement. We have a 3 year old DD already 😐😀

pistachiopastry · 30/09/2025 18:03

@AlwaysHopefull89- wowwww!! Congratulations! What a shock but also exciting!! Do twins run in your family?!

AlwaysHopefull89 · 30/09/2025 18:08

pistachiopastry · 30/09/2025 18:03

@AlwaysHopefull89- wowwww!! Congratulations! What a shock but also exciting!! Do twins run in your family?!

Massive shock for us! DH is taking it really well but I’m having my reservations, I’m so nervous how we will cope with twins and a 3 year old. I’m trying to be positive but I have a history of postnatal anxiety so I’m hoping it’s not triggered 🤦🏻‍♀️

twins don’t run on my side but DH’s auntie had identical twins but it was supposed to be an ‘isolated’ occurrence but I’m not convinced! Very Sadly one of them passed away at birth. X

SureLook · 01/10/2025 06:50

@pistachiopastry how many weeks are you now? How are you doing? We had the NIPT yesterday at 10+1 and everything looked great. Baby was moving around and had a good strong heartbeat. I've my 12 week scan on the 14th of October. My nausea had faded but it came back with a vengeance yesterday 🤢😂

@AlwaysHopefull89 oh wow, congratulations! Big shock but so amazing. Did you have any idea?

@AlwaysHopefull89- there must be some genetic link then if DH’s aunt conceived twins! I’m sure you must be nervous but I’m sure if you reach out on here there’ll be lots of twin mums with lots of advice and positive experiences.

@SureLook- I’m about 14 weeks now. The nausea has passed (mostly!) thankfully which makes such a difference. Hope yours disappears soon. Glad the NIPT went well. So great to hear the heartbeat. 🙏🏻

PeanutMam1926 · 01/10/2025 10:09

@purplestorm4 did you create a 2nd Facebook group instead of joining the original on this thread? Youre still welcome on the original which was creatrd early days and is for all due in april if you wanted to join. Its very welcoming we have over 50 women all from this thread on mums net and its such a good community already!

Just find it so odd us having 2 facebook groups on the same very small thread 🫣 dont want people to get confused! We have new people join all the time so everyone due april 26 is welcome!!!

The group on fb is called April Drinks so its not "obvious" as it was set up when some people were only about 4/5 weeks! Any issues feel free to dm us x

Wow! Congrats! What a shock it must've been. Was it your first scan??x

Thank you! Yes massive shock. No known family history either! It was our 12 week scan x

Thank you! Yes there is a genetic link for us as having checked today, I believe on my Nan’s side she had twin girl cousins x

SureLook · 02/10/2025 11:55

@pistachiopastry ah, that's great to hear!

MrsFCastle · 04/10/2025 21:09

Hello, hope everyone is well. I had my 12 week scan yesterday. It was amazing. All is well and I feel so much lighter, obvious been carrying a lot of anxiety these last few weeks. Excited to start telling our family and friends x

SureLook · 05/10/2025 07:14

@MrsFCastle aww, that's great to hear. It's an anxious wait to the 12 week scan. It's so exciting planning to tell family and friends. I'm waiting for the results of my NIPT and then my 12 week scan to tell more people.

AmberBeaker · 05/10/2025 15:03

Hi lovely to hear about all the 12 week scans happening :)
I'm 11w5 anxiously awaiting NIPT results hopefully in next day or two. Scan done for NIPT looked great :) but official booking scan will be at 13w.
My nausea had eased a lot in weeks 10/11 but is back with a vengeance since yesterday :/
Anyone else still feeling sick?

SureLook · 06/10/2025 13:34

@AmberBeaker ah, the waiting is horrible! I'm also waiting for my NIPT 🤞🏻 my nausea eased up around 9 weeks and then came back with a bang at 10 weeks 🫠 no vomiting but still feeling rotten! I'm 11 weeks today.

@SureLook oh sorry you're feeling so rough. Hopefully 2nd tri will bring some relief!
My NIPT came back today low risk which is really reassuring and I feel I can get a bit more excited now. Hope yours comes back very soon.
Did you find out the gender? I didn't but thought it might be printed on the results by accident lol but it wasn't so still a surprise :)

pistachiopastry · 06/10/2025 20:54

@AmberBeaker and @SureLook - sorry you’re both feeling rough.Each pregnancy is different.l!

With my first I had horrendous vomiting until around week 13, then with my second I was pretty sick until about week 20 (and then again at week
30 for a couple of weeks 🙈) but with this third one - touch wood - I’ve been feeling pretty good since about week 11. Only felt sick a handful of times.

Hope it passes for you soon!

Glad the NIPT came back low risk @AmberBeaker
Hope yours comes in soon too @SureLook

SureLook · 07/10/2025 06:10

@AmberBeaker ah, amazing. Congratulations, the relief!
Yes, we're going to find out the gender. There's no way I couldn't know 😂 fair play to you waiting. It'll be a lovely surprise. Is this your first? Sorry if you've already said.
@pistachiopastry aww, god love you on your first two pregnancies. That sounds tough. I didn't have any nausea or vomiting on my first so this is all new to me. I'm 11+1 so hopefully it'll ease up like yours did 🤞🏻

@SureLook this is my 3rd, I wasn't sick on my first 2 boys so wondering if this is a girl! Hope you get your NIPT and gender soon, exciting to find out!
@pistachiopastry you poor thing you've had awful sickness, glad you're having a slightly easier time this time. Were your first 2 same gender and have you found out this time x
