@Katie2908 with the way this sickness is going I felt that I had no choice but to be honest at work. If one of my colleagues guessed and he found out from the rumour mill I would have been upset. But everyone is different and you get to choose as and when you tell people. Had I avoided morning sickness I would have waited until the 12 week scan, I’m 5.5 earlier than planned.

Joining today, vvvfl at 8DPO have taken multiple tests throughout the day all showing the same, hoping for line progression. Have a 2.5yr old boy

Hello, joining this group as had an early scan yesterday and current due date is 2nd June, measured a few days behind but had a good heartbeat and right size for gestation.

I'm 7 weeks today, had a bit of a wobble today as I had a miscarriage back in March and I had a small gestational sac then and my measurements yesterday were similar to back then so spent today spiralling and thinking it's going to end the same as before but the EPU reassured me a little today as she looked at my scan and said that looking at it she wouldn't say anything concerns her so just a waiting game until my next scan on 27th to see if all is well.
Congratulations to you all ✨️

@bluepears96 oh I didn't know there was a pregnancy version of the flu jab? I had mine a couple of weeks ago and it was the normal one.

@RJF89 glad it's not just me with the ectopic paranoia! (I mean, it would be nice if it wasn't any of us, but I'm glad it's not just me worrying in a way).

@Katie2908 also glad it's not just me on the digestive front! I would personally say something though, if you're being exposed to infection. Not that you have to tell everyone, but maybe just the right person? I think for me sickness didn't hit till about 7 weeks.

Welcome @TheFutureIs @J0dI333 @SophieP89 and I'm sorry to hear about losses. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone.

@Katie2908as a MW I get it but you should tell your line manager/ward manager as you are putting yourself at additional risk. What you tell her is confidential. Say you want to be discreet and don’t want a big hoohaa at handover like ‘oh Katie can’t have this patient’ so you go in there and I’ll swap you for this one bla bla bla, you know how it can get!

I have my 1:1 next week so going to tell my manager then, I’ll be 5wks. There’s not much risk for me but I’m so exhausted I’d just prefer her to know so she doesn’t think there’s something actually wrong with me!

Do you have a supportive team?

I know. I just hate the idea of being awkward and because I am early still. But im exhausted. I really want to call in sick but what can I even say? And because im so early I dont want to come across as annoying. I usually have a strong work ethic no sickness but im drained.

To be honest, it is a supportive team. But I just have anxiety incase anything goes wrong.

I think ill wait a few weeks then tell them after the scan x

Katie2908 · 15/10/2025 09:59

@Pregnantera you're right. I wasn't planning on saying anything till after Christmas but I think i will after my first scan in a few weeks as im having to push heavy beds and stuff.

@SophieP89 welcome! Im planning on having my early scan when im 7 weeks 3 days, did you see much? Or hear a heartbeat?

@JHpr @TheFutureIs @J0dI333 welcome 🙏 congratulations welcome to the journey

sparklerr · 15/10/2025 10:10

Hi everyone, hope it’s ok if I join! Was lurking but holding off until now. Just got 3+ on a digital test at the weekend so starting to feel real. Projected due date is 20th June.

This is my second pregnancy. Had a miscarriage in June so I’m very nervous this time round. Hospital have said I can get an early scan because of the MC, but I think that will still be at about 8 weeks which feels a long way away!

It’s nice to see there are a good few others with previous losses feeling the same way. I won’t join the WhatsApp until after 1st scan - just a bit to soon for me yet.

ManifestSunshine · 15/10/2025 10:24

Hi everyone, sorry I've been a bit quiet. I had an early scan booked at EPU following some bleeding over the weekend and was super anxious.

Congratulations to those with new BFPs.

The scan went well, we saw a sac, yolk sac, and tiny embryo with heartbeat in the uterus which was everything I was hoping for really.

The embryo was measuring 2 days behind according to the sonographer but with my previous successful pregnancies both were behind on early scans but by 12 weeks they were both measuring slightly ahead.

The standard charts they use are not designed for IVF pregnancies and when I looked at the Monash chart which is specifically for IVF pregnancies, baby was actually measuring ahead.

I'm feeling very tired and nauseated and have vomited a few of times. I've called in sick to work which I do feel bad about but I just don't think I would have coped very well with work this week.

Katie2908 · 15/10/2025 11:24

@ManifestSunshine aww that's so exciting. To hear the heartbeat too 💗
Me too im currently lying on the sofa very fatigued, feeling sick thinking how can I call it sick tomorrow. But it gives me anxiety 😕 im glad you've taken time to rest x

RJF89 · 15/10/2025 12:28

@sparklerr congrats and welcome! Hoping we've all got sticky beans!

@ManifestSunshine glad to hear the scan went well! Hopefully no more bleeding 🤞🏻

The nausea and food aversions have definitely hit me now, I've been to Tesco and got loads of cakey and biscuity things and my body is thanking me for them 😅 I've been feeling tired too and work from home 3 days a week but I'm going to Leeds (from Scotland) tomorrow afternoon for the night so I'm hoping I don't give anything away at our team day on Friday 😅

Pregnantera · 15/10/2025 12:40

@ManifestSunshine aww I am so pleased the scan went well. Massive congratulations and I hope you feel better now?

@Katie2908 take it day by day and do what your body tells you is right. Hope you feel better soon!

@RJF89 i have a team day on Friday too near Leeds. I have told work though already so no secrets to hide from me. Good luck!

freakingscared · 15/10/2025 14:05

I’m supposed to be 6 weeks 1 day now . I’m scared because I had 2 miscarriages since having my last daughter 3 years ago , I’m also 43 , I had HG on all my previous pregnancies apart from the first ( my only son ) and I don’t have it yet . My tests where all ok 2-3 at 4 weeks 1 day , 3+ at 5 weeks . I’m having an early scan at 7 weeks 1 day next week .
I’m all sorts of freaking out . The only symptoms I have is extremely tired and my nipples and boobs hurt so much .
My previous MC where at 8 and 12 weeks so even if the scan was ok anxiety will still be a there .
I want him/her to be ok so much 😭, but keep trying to think negative so I can deal with it .
Tealky struggling today

RJF89 · 15/10/2025 17:55

Things took a turn a couple of hours after my last comment when I wiped and had a string of brown blood with a tiny bit of pink, called the EPU and they said it can be normal and just to monitor for any more, was hoping they might suggest a scan and save us going for a private one but actually now I'm glad they're not concerned. So I told my manager and said I don't feel I can go to Leeds tomorrow for our team day in case things escalate, she was very understanding and reassuring that it sounded ok. That's the first person I've told! My husband has told 2 people at work and his friend in Australia lol

Not sure if anyone would like to join but I have set up a little Facebook group for our June 2026 babies
https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DKD5ah1d1/?mibextid=wwXIfr

This is a good idea!
I will join but does anyone know if people are notified when you join a group?
I don’t want it to come up with ‘bluepears has joined June 2026 babies’!!!

Congratulations to anyone finding out 💐

I keep going back & forth about an early scan. TBH I’m still struggling to believe I’m actually pregnant given I don’t really have any symptoms! I am feeling super tired and a bit down too atm (work is also stressing me out).
I’m swinging from positive to negative on an hourly basis it feels, but going with the positive mindset as much as I can. I had an early scan with my other children but I’m going on holiday in less than 2 weeks and can’t take any time off to go beforehand, so realistically won’t be able to have one until about 9 weeks. Is anyone not planning on having one?

And also, when are you thinking of telling work? I WFH and my boss lives hundreds of miles from me so I’m thinking I might wait until at least January - I feel like it’s going to come as a massive shock to them & I’m going to want to put it off!

I also can’t stop eating which is really not helpful 🤣🤣

My brain dump of the evening, just got so much going on!

I'm not booking in any early scans. I couldn't afford one even if I wanted to but my primary reason is that they don't actually make a difference to the outcome. If something sad is going to happen, having a scan won't change the outcome. It only tells you that the heart is beating in that moment, on that day.

Of course, I worry about this tiny little life inside me that I can't see or feel but I'm choosing to spend these next few weeks happy to be pregnant and trust as much as I can that everything is fine in there!

sparklerr · 15/10/2025 20:05

Thanks for the welcome!

@RJF89sorry to hear you’re getting spotting. It’s horrible when there’s nothing to do but wait and see! I have a good friend who had early bleeding like this and all was fine so hopefully it will be for you too.

@freakingscaredi know what you mean about trying to think negatively so you can deal with the worst. I actually did some counselling since the miscarriage and since getting pregnant. The counsellor told me to remember it’s ok to be happy and excited, it won’t have any impact on the outcome to think the worst. I found that helpful and have been taking it one day at a time.

@bluepears96Im not on Facebook anymore but unless things have changed in the last year no one gets notified if you join a group! As in the group itself might get notified, but not your friends in their feeds.

luckwhy · 16/10/2025 07:08

Hi girls I just got a positive yesterday, tentatively due around 26th June. This is my second pregnancy, I have a boy who will be 2 in November. I’ve joined the Facebook group too

Katie2908 · 16/10/2025 11:54

I ended up calling in sick. I got into a huge row with my neighbours (started on me shouting out window!) Was so tearful and upset crying most of the day. And just knew I couldnt face work. I told my manager and tbf. I feel better for it, like some of you, sometimes you have no choice, and once it's done it's done! I haven't moved off the sofa today 😅

@freakingscaredim so.sorry you feel so anxious. It's so frustrating as only time will tell and time is going so slow right now!

@CremeEggsForBreakfasti wish I could have your mindset!

@RJF89yes definitely rest and look after yourself. Is it weird I have anxiety that I have had no spotting/brown discharge? I feel like that's solidifying the implantation so try not to worry too much

Katie2908 · 16/10/2025 11:55

Congratulations @luckwhyi joined day after my positive too 😅

RJF89 · 16/10/2025 12:40

@Katie2908 no more spotting since so I'm hoping it was a one off, might have been caused by thrush so spoke to my GP this morning and have pessaries to collect for the next 3 nights. I did think about implantation bleeding but at over 6 weeks it would surely be very old, but I guess that would be why it's brown!

luhby · 16/10/2025 15:07

I'm 5w+2 and my breasts just started getting sensitive 🙌🏻.

For the ladies who unfortunately had previous losses did you have to deal with friends or family being pregnant and having babies while you were struggling?
My brother in law and his wife were 1 month ahead of us and their baby will be born in November, I've been avoiding seeing any pictures of their pregnancy on Instagram. My husband asked if I wanted to spend Christmas with them, the month my baby was supposed to be born, and I said no and started crying. AIBU?

sleepykt · 16/10/2025 16:06

@luhbyI don’t think it’s ever unreasonable to feel your feelings and to protect your own peace and stay away from situations you will find difficult 💚 everyone manages it different and it’s fully legitimate to find it too hard or to find it fine or anything in between!

Lollystar15 · 16/10/2025 16:44

My best friend (basically a sister to me) fell pregnant a matter of days after me. We were due 2 days apart. I lost my baby at 7+4 in November 24 and her baby survived. Whilst so happy for her i found it so hard to be around her whilst she was pregnant. It was a literal walking reminder of where I should have been and it was so hard! So no, you arent being unreasonable from my perspective!

bluepears96 · 17/10/2025 00:33

Aw @Katie2908we told our managers on the same day 😂 also fed up and just came out with it. Enjoy your time off. Spoil yourself and basque in the knowledge all pregnancy related sick days don’t count. I say this having mon-weds off this week as I just couldn’t face it.
