Any one June 2026

[Pregjune]

Hi currently on dpo 12 and tested postive since Wednesday. Clear blue says 1-2 weeks

@RJF89my doctors are not great they will do the bloods and email me letting me know if they are good levels or not and send me on my way until next time I bombard them with requests 😂 I haven’t even booked in with a Hospital yet because again they don’t want to see me or hear from me until about 10 weeks. Not once did I get help when I had my miscarriage, I had to go through A&E to get help with that. Early pregnancy unit seemed bothered that I wanted a scan and made me wait 3 weeks for a second scan to confirm there was no progression. I’m a little traumatised from it even though I’ve had miscarriages before my two children too.
as for the vitamin deficiency, it’s possible. My body struggles to hold on to vitamins for some reason. Been anemic since I was 18 and taken tablets my whole life to sort it, even having to take folic acid on top of iron tablets to help me hold onto the iron. I am taking bf the pregnacare max tablets to try help, and took the conception ones before getting my positive test.

@ManifestSunshine Is it worth speaking to your GP about some meds that don't wipe you out? I thought 4.5 weeks was long enough between my early private scan and my first NHS one so I'm sorry you've got longer! I'll be 11 weeks exactly at it so I'll still worry until a week later when I hit the 12 week mark, hopefully baby will still be going strong 💓 I also hope they can accept then that I'm due 10th June and not the 1st 😅

@Niknak8493 I've found my EPU unhelpful too, it took until the third call to them about spotting for me to say when do you actually want me to call you again and they said only if you bleed through a pad. No reassurance or explanation as to what it could be. Everywhere seems to say if you get bleeding get an appointment with your EPU but it's not the way!

@Katie2908 after the sickness I’ve had there is no way I am having another baby either! I don’t know how people survive multiple pregnancies, this is bad!

@RJF89 no I don’t have asthma, it was about carbon dioxide and apparently they have to check it at every appointment. It’s so strange why things are so different between England and Scotland, you would think it was the same. If they are not checking your carbon dioxide I perhaps shouldn’t stress about it as can’t be that important!

Having been reassured by this morning's scan I've just had a significant bleed so now back to feeling stressed! I'm hoping the scan probe just upset something and that it stops soon.

Regarding EPUs I've found it varies massively how helpful/sympathetic they are, both between units and between staff members. If I lived close to more than one unit I might be tempted to shop around a bit.

The GP has called and prescribed some metoclopramide so I'll see how that goes!

@ManifestSunshine hopefully it was just because of the probe! Cervixes are so inflamed at this stage. And I hope the metoclopramide works for the sickness 🤞🏻

@Pregnantera ah I see, I've actually got an oxygen monitor at home I got during COVID (you're starting to see how paranoid I am now for a fit and healthy marathon runner 😂), so once the out of breath worry starts I'll be clipping it on my finger 😂

@RJF89 you make me seem carefree and I’m usually a stress head! How are you doing with the running? I’m trying to get back out there now I’m eating a bit better. I’ve done 4 miles this evening and felt a bit stronger.

@ManifestSunshine fingers crossed it’s just a reaction to this morning! It isn’t half stressful being pregnant.

@Pregnantera I've not been for a run since the 11th October, it started off because I didn't want to make the spotting worse but now I feel too bleugh anyway, maybe I'll get back to it in week 13 😅 Definitely thought I'd miss running much more, my brain is too full of other things 😅

I've also been a bit quiet, been feeling up and down worrying with symptoms one day then gone the next 3 days etc... But had EPU scan today and all looks well with heartbeat 💓 so feeling more reassured.
Welcome new people! And sending hugs to everyone feeling rough or anxious. It never stops does it!

Hello! I am due 6th June and this is my first pregnancy.

I had an emergency scan last week due to bleeding but it went well with baby in correct position and a heartbeat seen on ultrasound.

I've been struggling with nausea and vomiting, it's so difficult when nobody except my partner knows what's going on. It makes me feel less lonely reading all your experiences.

My nausea and fatigue were worse last week than this week - but instead of enjoying it I can't help but worry something is wrong! 4 weeks until my 12 week scan to find out.

Hope you are all going well xxx

@Juno2026 welcome to our merry band of worriers 😅 It's so worrying when symptoms come and go, but the more it happens the more I remind myself it's already happened 4/5 times and they've come back. Good news about the heartbeat 💓

Welcome @Juno2026and So glad to hear you got to see baby is doing ok and had a heartbeat 😊 I’m contemplating booking a private scan for maybe week 7 in the hope I see a heartbeat and I can relax a little.
I had a blood test today but the doctors just said they will put my results on my nhs app for me to check when ready. They don’t seem to be very empathetic. On the plus side I have felt awful today so that’s a positive sign 😂

Welcome @Juno2026! Glad to hear your scan went well.
Ive been quiet the past few days as had no changes to report. The nausea is definitely starting to hit though. Hope this isn’t TMI but for me it seems to be more stomach cramps and diarrhoea 🙈 hoping it’s normal as a google search wasn’t showing up much! I’m in a really stressful situation in work at the moment so not sure if it’s caused by that or the pregnancy. I’m a teacher and we’re off for mid-term this week or else I’d nearly consider asking for some time off.

I had a scan yesterday, period dated me at 7 weeks but scan was 7+3. It was really reassuring seeing the heartbeat because I really don’t have any massive symptoms! No sickness or nausea, sore boobs, etc. I’ve become more spotty & emotions but that’s about it, so it’s made me feel more confident. Cannot believe I might actually be having another baby! Seems like a crazy decision (it probably is 🤣)

Also feeling very emotional so I can’t tell if the stressful situation even warrants that much stress or if I’m just very hormonal and vulnerable at the moment!

@fluckgreat to hear the scan gave you some reassurance! The first trimester is so nerve wracking.

@Juno2026 can ask what your bleeding like, im nearly 7 weeks i had brown discharge when I wiped yesterday am then went to dark then red blood when wiped, also when go for a wee Ive had dark red blood drops I toilet and then its like period when go to toilet,but im not soaking a pad. Went to the early pregnancy unit they wouldn't give me scan as had none available have to wait to monday, disgusted really. Thry said cervix closed and blood result come bk high but they said I have just wait and see as they cant do anything. I just dont feel pregnant and feel bit like im getting a period. Feel so deflated and let down 😭😭

Or has anyone had similar experience to this is just feel nothing can be postive out this to be bleeding day 2

So sorry you're going through this. I have seen plenty of cases of women who had bleedings in the first trimester and went on to have a healthy pregnancy. I know this won't release your worry, because I would feel the same, but bleedings don't always mean the worst. ❤️

Hi all, sorry for going quiet. I've been bleeding and EPU have confirmed I have a haematoma right next to the pregnancy sac, 4 times bigger than the baby. It's been a long week. They've prescribed what is practically bed rest and progesterone up until 16 weeks if the pregnancy progresses, which has been brutal with side effects so far but hoping it will settle. It's a watch and wait situation at the moment, but right now I'm pregnant and I'm trying to hold onto that thought. The encouraging thing is that we saw a baby in the right place with a good heartbeat, though it was dating behind. We have another scan next week to check on things.

I'm going a bit crazy not being able to exercise, particularly running which is a big stress reliever for me. I'm allowed a short walk every day. And I can't lug my toddler about (have they met toddlers?) I have a huge week coming up at work the week after next with multiple in person events and I'm honestly really worried about how to deal with that.

My booking appointment isn't till I'm 11 weeks, which feels quite late. Last time I think it was around 8 weeks.

Congratulations @Newhere1993 and @Juno2026 and anyone else I've missed.

Hope the bleed has settled @ManifestSunshine? Hopefully it was just the probe disturbing things.

I'm sorry so many are feeling so rough. My nausea and fatigue is definitely worse this time round, but then my toddler might account for some of that. There also seems to be quite of us experiencing bleeding in one way or another.

@Katie2908 and I can't remember who else - but on the being 1 and done because of a rough trimester thing - I promise you forget and it's so worth it! It's almost like witchcraft. I was also a 1 and done after my pregnancy, birth and post partum, yet here we are 😅Obviously totally fine if you want to stick to one and done, but I remember when I thought I'd have to be 1 and done I felt so sad and grieved about the family set up I wanted, only for that to not be the case as we decided to go for another one. So I just don't want anyone to feel sad or worried or like they have to choose how many children they have based on this! I don't know if I've phrased that very well.

Congrats on the scans @essa @SummerLover89 @Fluck and anyone else I missed. It's magical to see them.

@Niknak8493 I'm sorry you're feeling so alone (I think it was you, sorry if not!) We're all here, and all in our same but different worry boats. The first trimester is definitely a scary and lonely place.

@Pregjune I'm sorry, bleeding in pregnancy is so scary. I think if the blood is darker it's less worrying than if it's bright red. It's also something like 1-2 in 4 women bleed during pregnancy - and there's certainly a few few of us just in this group who've had bleeding. You obviously can't know for sure but will keep my fingers crossed. I thought with the bleeding I've had there would be no baby or a baby on the way out when I had my scan on Tuesday, but there it was. You don't know until you know.

Sorry if I've not responded to everyone, this is probably long enough as it is but I hate to ignore anyone when this is such a worrying time!

@DesertSnowyes it was me, still feel the same, it’s gonna be a long first trimester, I think it would help if I could get my partner to even acknowledge the pregnancy but he seems to just want to ignore it until the first scan and then he says we can make plans. That’s fine but the face I can’t even talk to him is making it so difficult for me.

Sorry to hear that. My bleeding was accompanied by lower abdominal pain so apparently that flagged that I could be having an ectopic pregnancy.

Warning for graphic description:
I had thick brown coffee-ground like bleeding. It started when I went for a wee then it went on for three days. It was pretty heavy when I peed but mild the rest of the time. I also had mild lower abdominal pain which was also worse when I peed. During my scan they couldn't find a cause for the bleeding and strangely those symptoms stopped the day after my scan.

I hope you manage to get a quicker scan for reassurance, I hope everything is okay for you 🙏

@sparklerr My manager was just telling me yesterday how she had bad diarrhea all the way through with her second son, and sickness with the first, so it's not unheard of! After being in bed with trapped wind for 3 hours yesterday evening I was praying for diarrhea 😅 Definitely upping my fibre!!! I'm still so anxious too, it's been a week week since my private early scan and still 3.5 weeks until my first NHS one and I think this will be the worst wait of the pregnancy.

@Pregjune I've read so many stories of women bleeding heavily and everything ending up ok so I'm your lighter bleed isn't bothering the embryo and it's a sticky bean!

@DesertSnow Hoping the same for you, and that the scan next week is positive 🤞🏻

Hi! Tentatively joining after BFP this week. I’m due 30th June, but will likely have another section so will be earlier. This is my third 🙈 feels crazy to say.
