Found out recently I’m pregnant with baby number 3 😍. I’ve worked out my due date as early May 2027. Anyone else? It would be nice to have a support thread going. They’ll be quite a big gap between my two kids and baby, I feel like I’ve forgotten everything 🤦🏼‍♀️

Another one here slightly worrying about twins based on the level of nausea and the fact I dreamt I was pregnant with twins just before finding out I was pregnant. I’m also older and have twins in the family on both sides!

Feeling nervy over here at 5+6. I hate this limbo when there’s nothing more to learn from testing but it’s too early for a scan. Feeling quite a lot of uterine sensations and absolutely exhausted (could just blame that on the 2yo though!), but not sick at all and no food aversions, sore boobs etc. I’m not even sure I’d find that reassuring given I still had strong symptoms after my last mmc. Hurry up time 🙏🏻

ttcin2026 · 22/09/2026 14:04

@Atanelithats so exciting!!! Would you be happy with twins?

I am week 7, booked for an early preg scan next week. I am on the same boat. I do suffer insomnia every night since I tested positive. I woke up pee every night full bladder once or twice. occasional bleeding, but no pain. So overall still aren't sure if it's happening and that the baby is healthy!

I think I’m allowing myself to be excited now, I know the baby is not guaranteed to stay but I’m tired of being negative and pushing away happy/excited thoughts! I had another scan today I’m 8w5d and everything is looking good, no cause for concern at all! Here’s a pic of the baby doing headstands 😂

Did you do vaginal or over belly scan? I am week 7 and booked for a scan next week!

Ataneli · 22/09/2026 14:15

@ttcin2026yeah I would absolutely love twins! Being one myself I know how amazing it is and I would love that for my kids

Luanne1991 · 22/09/2026 14:56

Hey everyone , previously posted on here with concerns my test window had gone backwards from 2-3 weeks to 1-2 which felt really worrying plus had very dark brown spotting from around 4w5days (6 weeks tomorrow) so feared the worst however did one final test a couple days ago - after vowing never to do any more and it had gone back up to 2-3 weeks . So felt a bit more positive again , spotting has never increased in amount and never get pain so as you can imagine heads always all over the place . Have a scan tomorrow so I’m just desperate to get some answers . Thinking maybe it’s a Subchorionic Hematoma- or hoping so anyway. Any experience of anything I’ve mentioned above would be good to hear from people .
hoping everyone’s having a positive day :-) x

I had an abdominal scan at 6 weeks and a vaginal scan at 8+5 I will say the image was much clearer on the vag scan but possibly could be that baby is much bigger I don’t know but you can see his little arms hmm and also I was closer to 9 weeks than 8 so that also may contribute! Good luck for your scan the wait is torture isn’t it !! Xx

Cat4324 · 22/09/2026 20:42

Tentatively joining this thread after testing positive for 7 days (a bit obsessive I know). This will be our rainbow baby after a miscarriage at 8 weeks followed by 2 years of infertility so I have everything crossed. I feel so much worse this time round with tiredness, nausea and indigestion which I'm hoping is a good sign!

BelleSprout · 22/09/2026 20:50

I got my 3+ weeks tonight, which I never thought I would see! I feel like I can allow myself to feel a little bit excited now. Also the nausea has really hit this afternoon, I’m only 5w2d so I was hoping I’d escape it for a little bit longer!

I think I saw someone else ask about a WhatsApp group but I don’t see a response. Is there one set up/would we like one?

laesosalt · 22/09/2026 21:10

@Luanne1991 I had a SCH with my second. I actually bled later (13 weeks) and it stopped around 18 weeks - it was about 6cm initially. It had completely healed by 20 weeks and I went onto a happy and healthy delivery. I did avoid sex or any heavy lifting which I think helped!

Congratulations on the 3+!

A whatsapp group would be good, I found it really helpful in my last pregnancy.

Sierra26 · 23/09/2026 06:47

Had my scan yesterday, I was 6+3 by LMP but measuring 6+0 more or less as expected as I know I ovulated a bit later than day 14.

Everything looked fine although the embryo position made it tricky to get a super clear picture.

Heartbeat was strong and high, I was told this was good but now I’m worrying as it’s SO much higher than my son’s was at that point!

The report says the gestational sack average measurement is smaller at 5+0 weeks :( but I’m trying to ignore that as she didn’t even mention it, and the average is based on two wildly different measurements she took so probably not accurate.

Trying to focus on the positives ( of which there are plenty!!) but it’s hard not to worry as for the past three years I was convinced we’d never conceive naturally.

Symptoms… I’m SO gassy, anyone else??

Same, I'd like to join if there is one

AlexRobin · 23/09/2026 10:42

Hi everyone,
I am 8 weeks and have a 4 year old daughter, before my daughter I had a MMC so I find it hard to not be anxious.
i had no sickness at all for the first 12 weeks with my daughter and now everything makes me nauseous!

laesosalt · 23/09/2026 12:21

Wasn’t going to do a digital test but got the 3+ weeks so feeling relieved at that. Is anyone booking a private scan soon? I’m thinking of doing one around 8/9 weeks!

Silverglass · 23/09/2026 13:48

WhatsApp group sounds good, chuck me an invite if someone sets one up. :)

six weeks today so I suppose I should register my pregnancy, I’d rather wait and get a scan at eight weeks to see if it’s viable first.

Very gassy here too! My stomach has ballooned!

FolkSongSweet · 23/09/2026 20:36

I’m going to hold off on the WhatsApp group until I’ve had a scan if that’s ok - hope people still post on here!

Im 6+1 and can’t believe only days ago I was worried about not feeling sick! Now wondering how on earth im going to survive the next 8 weeks if things work out. I was going to go for a scan this week but can’t fit it in tomorrow and have a big event on Friday night - I’ve decided I’d rather not know than potentially get bad news on the Friday morning, so aiming for next week when I should be about 7 weeks.

MixedBananas · 23/09/2026 20:41

@silverglass what DPO are you?
I also wondered as got a obvious + at 8dpo and I got a dye stealer at 17DPO. That wouls be amazing as we want 4 children. Otherwise will be baby no.3

@Ataneli what a relief! And omg the sonographer teasing you like that!

Used to be a radiographer. Yes scans are much clearer doing TVS.

I am 5weeks and my period was due last Friday. I have not called Community Midwives yet waiting for a little longer.
Symptoms are increasing slowly.
Last 2 days major carvings for salty tomatos and cottage cheese on crackers. And peeing a lot more. Fatigue is bad. Crashing around 3pm but Insomnia betwee. 2am - 5am. Majorly hungry. At night my stomach feels empty and when I wake up at 2am I am ravenous. Avoiding eating after 7pm bur not doing me any good.
I have gone off of chocolate and coffee last 2 days. Anything sweet. I made a aorange chcolate marble cake on Monday with home made custard and did not enjoy it. 😵 thats not me! All I want is salty and savory and more so cheese and tomatos and sliced cucumbers!!!
Nausea a little if I don't eat right away in the morning.

I am atill testing daily. But will stop on Friday as it is as dark as it will get now.
