Due July 2026 🤍

[ThePatternAmber]

Hey, anyone else due July 2026? I got my first faint positive at 10dpo on Thursday 23rd October, I’m now 14dpo/4 weeks pregnant. Feeling nervous as still very early my period was due tomorrow. I’ve booked an early scan for in a few weeks so hopefully everything is all good, now just an anxious wait

Thank you, I'll have a look back through if I get the chance (we have building work starting tomorrow that's been planned in for a while so life is more hectic than I'd like right now..)

Unless someone posts before then as per @Solidstart request!

I found the WhatsApp group and have requested to join.

No rush at all, it's just so you know it's someone from this thread!

That's a screenshot of the group to search for. The link never worked for me so I had to search for it. Might take a bit for the image to be approved

Just turned 14 weeks and ive arranged visits at a couple of local nurseries. I'm not sure if it's needed so early in the town I live in but most of my friends live in the nearest city, Aberdeen, and started looking at the 12 week mark so I've just decided to do the same.

Anyone else got their screening results back low risk but still worrying!? They are in the thousands but my anxiety isn’t going anywhere despite all my markers being completely unconcerning🙄 I thought about a NIPT but it’s such a lot of money when I know it’s probably totally unnecessary. Plus I read that they are often just low or high risk, I don’t think anything would help me except a guarantee or as good as, which of course isn’t possible. I am a worrier by nature 😅😅

@jw97 i only had the NIPT (no other screening test offered), and my results were “low risk”, no other details provided to me. So not sure it would give you any better answer than you already have…unless of course you also want to
know the sex?

I think you’re right! It’s just the lack of certainty that my anxiety is hanging onto I think. It’s my 1st and I’m a worrier 🤣 just being a bit silly and spiralling! The results were reassuring so, i know I should just enjoy it now

I got an NIPT letter stating low chance with a one page annex with ratios on it - are you sure you won’t get more info? I was called first and the letter followed.

Hi everyone! I’m 14 + 4 today and it’s my third baby! Unexpected but now very much wanted despite the fact we’re having to
now look at bigger cars! 🤣

Feel like it’s already flying when I’ve got two toddlers to keep me busy! Anyone else going to have three under 5? 🫣

possibly! I wouldn’t get it on the NHS though, and I’ve read mixed things about private results. If it just said low risk i don’t think it would help my anxiety as much as I’d hope! I’ll see if any local private clinics can tell me how much detail they give

Gotcha. I got it self-funded / private but via the NHS service in my local hospital as I couldn’t do the other screenings due to how late my appointments were (I was out of the country). They sent it to St George’s and my results are on an NHS letterhead. My friend at had a private NIPT from outside NHS entirely and got more detailed results than me but to be honest it’s all double Dutch to me and I couldn’t decipher it.

I used chatGPT to translate the medical language and terms from my screening results .. it was really good and informative, just wanted to share incase it can help you at all.

@LoveHearts69 congratulations on bump #3! Also joining the bigger car brigade over here 👋 DH looking at all the options including huge 9 seater transits so we can be that family who takes the kids and their mates out for the day....which feels years off 😅Knowing us though baby will probably be crawling before we actually make a decision and do something about it.

Thanks very much everyone ☺️

My results were sent straight to my obstetrician so I haven’t seen a copy. To be honest I was just happy that she was happy with my results. I’m 43 so to hear “low risk” was all I needed rather than seeing numbers that I’d no doubt google and then worry about!

I have enough worries being an older mum so trying not to go down rabbit holes of worry. Easier said than done!

Hi @LoveHearts69 how exciting on number 3!

im also 14 weeks, just a couple of days behind you.

This sounds so fun though!! My best friend is one of 4 and her dad was always the one taking us all everywhere in their old Volvo estate with the rear facing seats! I remember it had a coat hanger for an aerial but I was so fond of their car as it always seemed a lot of fun being part of their big family 🤣❤️

July is feeling so close already! I can’t believe we’ll all have 5 month old babies by next Christmas 🤯

@LoveHearts69 aww that's a lovely memory!

Have you told your other children yet? July feels close to me but feel like to the smalls it's a lifetime away.

Yes my 4 year old is so excited, he already wants to help with all the nappies and getting the baby to sleep apparently! He’s got a doll and was trying to breastfeed it earlier in preparation! 🤣🙈 My 2 year old is very much the baby of the house still and has no clue he’s about to be demoted to middle child haha. How old are yours?

@LoveHearts69 oh bless!!! Mine are a bit older, they'll be 7&5 when #3 turns up. We weren't planning on telling them till closer to 20 weeks but other people started to notice so felt like they should know. The younger one is on cloud 9. Keeps hugging my bump and has started drawing pictures for the baby and wanting to give it things as presents etc. Can't wait to cuddle it apparently. Definitely no middle child angst 😂 though TBF I've said they have several middle child traits for years so I'm not sure we'll see much of a difference. 7 year old is a little more difficult to get an opinion out of but overall giving positive vibes. I wasn't expecting the news to be so well received actually so was a relief. Long may it last!

Thought we might need a new thread soon as this one is fast filling up

Av commented to add myself to the new chat 🥰

Anyone had any cravings yet? Right in the beginning I was obsessed with beetroot! At the moment it’s cheese and tomato sandwiches! And gravy, but it’s possible that’s the northerner in me 😂 love hearing what cravings people have!

I've had no cravings or aversions so far. In fact a lot of symptoms have passed me by but I'm quite glad about that!

@jw97 @summertime94 come join us on the new thread..link further up!
