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 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thank you for setting up the whatsapp group - ive joined, but also happy to keep chatting in here too.

4+2 today. Still testing every day. I told my manager the news, seeing as we were both in the office at the same time. He's been very supportive during my two recent pregnancies/miscarriages, and on the last one, I ended up needing to use a bit of sick leave as the nausea kept getting to me. Much easier with him just knowing the reason behind it.

Just looking to book my early scan, and try and help my nerves a little.

So I had a scan as I've had previous ectopic and wanted to be sure of location. Wasn't able to see anything on scan before, however HCG was only 755 then.

44 hours later, it rose to 1252 (not doubling but still a rise)

Then 1700. I saw a gestational sac in my womb which rules out ectopic, thankfully, but the rise being significantly slower this time has me bracing for a miscarriage.

Really sad that we got news of our bloods same day as we saw the sac. Booked in for further HCG in 2 days and another ultrasound.

Really don't know what's going to happen but not feeling very hopeful! Other than that I've had no bleeding/spotting or cramps!

Update on this. My bloods 2 days later were slow rise again. 1700 to 2206 in 45 hours.

but the scan showed a yolk sac which wasn’t there 2 days ago. The sonographer was pleased but she said due to low blood rise it’s uncertain which way it will go. Then another nurse afterwards told me I should expect a miscarriage. They can’t say for definite but they’re not super hopeful about it

i was really surprised and amazed to see my baby had grown in just 2 days ❤️

if no miscarriage they’ll have me in for another scan in a weeks time

PhoenixSTL · 23/09/2026 22:23

@Plumchumm keeping all my fingers crossed for you

LuluGilmore · 23/09/2026 22:40

First scam tomorrow at 8 weeks with the NHS because of some brown spotting which seems to have become less now. It's in the morning but taken the day off work so that if it's bad news I can just come home and be sad.

keepgoinggal · 24/09/2026 06:24

I got my 3+ woohoo! So from my LMP I’m 5+1 today however I ovulate really early, my friend said I’m further along than I think based on my ovulation date meaning I would be 5+5 instead. I’m not sure how it works, either way I’m just happy baby seems to be cooking nicely 🥹

not ready to join WhatsApp until my scans, but I’m trying to change my mindset of ‘what if this happens’ to ‘I’m pregnant and going to be a mother’ 🩷

LuluGilmore · 24/09/2026 13:09

Had the scan and although embryo is the right size the heart rate is low, fetal bradycardia. Doesn't look good, will go back for a scan in a week.

Silverglass · 24/09/2026 14:41

Just had code through for Manchester oasis tickets 😬 ah well, my husbands going to have a lovely time while (hopefully) I’m stuck home with a month old on my own.

Oh no 😟 fingers crossed the next scan is more positive

ttcin2026 · 24/09/2026 18:32

@LuluGilmorei really hope this turns around for you. Did they tell you what they measured the heartbeat at? I hope they’ve made a plan to rescan you? X

thelifepursuit · 24/09/2026 19:49

Sorry to hear that @LuluGilmore Try to look after yourself and just take every day as it comes until you know more.

@Plumchumm thinking of you and keeping optimisitic. Might be a little fighter there.

@LuluGilmore so sorry for this news. I am remaining hopeful for you and I hope you can manage this week. Self care.

My tests have maxed out and no longer able to get darker. All dye stealers since 17DPO
Will do a digital tomorrow as last Friday it said 2 - 3 weeks. And I will be 5 weeks 3 Days on friday based on LMP. Ovulation and LMP due date is off by 4days.

Netflixnchilli · 25/09/2026 12:19

Absolutely terrified but joining hopefully! Been lurking since Sunday. 5W1D by LMP after 5 years of secondary infertility full of lots of surgeries and fertility treatment (hadn’t made the decision to go ahead with full IVF) and by some miracle had a completely unexpected positive on Sunday - I’d only done a test because I was worried I might need to to A&E after falling down the stairs and I was a couple of days late!

Plumchumm · 25/09/2026 12:42

Thank you @MixedBananas
I started getting really bad nausea in the morning yesterday and today, and nausea when I haven’t eaten. It’s so bad I bought one of those sea bands and have been trying to eat more and often which is helping.

im hoping that’s a good sign for my baby, as my symptoms are still here and I have my next scan in 4 days x

MixedBananas · 25/09/2026 14:48

@Plumchumm thats reassuring. I hope that sticky bean is holding on tight.

My nausea started couple days ago.
I did a digital today 8 days after last and it still says 2-3 and so I have also started to worry now aswell!!! I thought it would change to 3+ a few days ago at least! So annoyed with myself.
My DH said to contact Midwives on Monday to get the ball rolling.

Plumchumm · 25/09/2026 21:11

@Netflixnchilli welcome xx

@MixedBananas mine still said 2-3 yesterday as well, it looks like it’s not very accurate. How many weeks are you? I’m 6+2 today x

MixedBananas · 26/09/2026 07:33

Hi @Plumchumm I am 22DPO, 5w based on Ovulation or 5W 4D based on LMP today.
I am tempted to check it again the end of next the week

Cat4324 · 26/09/2026 10:40

I'm 6 weeks today, getting 2-3 weeks on cb but almost dye stealers on premom and a cheapo stick so slightly reassured by that. I wish I'd kept the tests or pictures of them from my miscarriage so I had something to compare to for reassurance but I got rid of all but the 1st test

Any Mumma’s due in May 2027?
Excited101 · 26/09/2026 14:19

Me! I’m due the 30th may with my second. First one took 2 years of trying… lots of lifestyle changes (hundreds of pounds of supplements per month for us both, no scented candles/air fresheners, low toxic toiletries and cleaning products, only filtered water, etc) so this one being conceived with just one dtd was quite the shock! There will be a 2 year 9 month gap.

Unfortunately I’ve only just technically started one of my 2 part time jobs and I won’t receive any maternity leave/pay from it which is absolutely gutting. Other than that, I feel fine!

MumDaisy1980 · 26/09/2026 16:23

I am week 7, doing an early scan on Monday. Curious to know if anyone had any occasional spotting? like some blood. best to use pantyliner. but not enough for a pad. Thanks!

I had some brownish discharge for the first time today at 6+3

a bit worried, what about you? X

Moominmamato3 · 27/09/2026 11:45

Had my booking appointment this week ~ midwife is much nicer than the one I saw at the start of the year so that was a relief. I have booked a private scan for next Friday mainly for reassurance, it felt too long to wait between the 6 week EPU one and the 13 week NHS one.

Im mostly just really tired with the odd bit of nausea. I do feel quite bloated thou so have ditched the jeans and been in dresses all week ~ mad when you think baby is the size of a raspberry or similar!

MumDaisy1980 · 28/09/2026 13:05

Done my 8 week scan today and saw my baby with all the good signs! Massively relieved!

Hope all is well!!!
