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 🤦🏼‍♀️

This was me a few days ago and only thing stopped me was in the chance my dates are wrong so didnt want to go and be disappointed. Im 7 weeks today so will hold for another week to be on the safe side.

I managed to wait until 8 weeks last time but it just feels too long to wait this time. The days cannot go quickly enough!

I’m also on the ‘when to book a scan’ boat, on one hand I’d like to know asap if it’s not viable. Last time we were just over eight weeks as I was abroad between 5-8 weeks so it took the decision away.

also nervous about registering the pregnancy with the hospital as I pretty recently had a late loss and then have got pregnant first time after my period returned and I’m nervous about being judged for it. 😬 it’ll be the same midwife and consultant we see this time too, I only just saw the consultant last week to discuss if she thinks we should do anything differently in the next pregnancy, awkward when I got a positive soon after. Thankfully she just wants me to take aspirin from twelve weeks and induce at 38 weeks.

also still about 10kg heavier than my last pregnancy as I’ve not had a chance to lose much of the weight I put on then. Sadly going to have to be much better with diet this time and not indulge in entire packets of biscuits.

Anyone else been having incredibly vivid dreams? X

Yes! I actually dreamed that I was pregnant with twins just before I found out I was pregnant. Hoping only half the dream has come true!

LuluGilmore · 11/09/2026 13:16

This will be my first after trying for 3 years, I'm 35 so feeling quite anxious that it sticks. Did have a little brown spotting but it seems to have stopped now and just feeling tired and like I've been spun around a bit. Oh and needing to pee more which I thought was something that happened later.

Midwife appointment isn't until 1st of next month, I'll be six weeks tomorrow, I'm thinking of getting a private scan next weekend at 7 weeks. I have a retroverted uterus which they said can make it harder to see but just feel my hopes growing day by day and would like to know if they shouldn't be.

Evening ladies, hoping for a little reassurance that this looks like a positive pregnancy test? 🥹 if so, I’ll be due 26th May! Super nervous after miscarriage at 8 weeks last December. Praying for a healthy pregnancy.

I’ve had what I believe to be implantation cramps, slight nausea for like 2 mins x2 times, and vivid dreams!!

So last night after sex I started bleeding. It was red and only when I wiped but no clots. I haven’t had any bleeding since so far, and my it didn’t last long, but phoned 111 this morning for advice. They have now booked me for a scan tomorrow at the EPU tomorrow - I’m absolutely terrified as my last scan I had there was how I found out I miscarried. So worried, I was hoping they’d say it was nothing and I’m dreading this scan. I’m praying and hoping everything will be fine 🙏

Bleeding after sex is quite common in pregnancy as everything is just a bit more sensitive, so hopefully it’s nothing! It’s good that they are checking you though so you can get some peace of mind x

Thank you, I’ve read it can happen after sex due to sensitive cervix so I’m hoping it’s just that. X

Heartofhope · 12/09/2026 13:46

@Lookingforhope26 i had this a lot with my first and ended up with quite a few extra scans because of it, agree with the others i think things are just more sensitive. 🤞🏼 for you x

Heartofhope · 12/09/2026 16:36

Looking for advice.. I am only 4w 5d, have started having some mild to medium type pains low down central like kind of gnawing pulsing feeling coming and going. I have had 2 losses in the last 14 months so I am terrified 😥 has anyone had pains and these be normal? Symptom wise I have very sore boobs and have been quite tired the last 3/4 days. Thanks in advance x

I’ve had these pains with every pregnancy. It was normal, im having them now too! 4 weeks and 3 days now

Heartofhope · 12/09/2026 19:01

Thanks @Plumchumm i don’t remember them with my son (but it was 14 years ago!) and the losses have absolutely given me the fear but thanks for sharing they have been normal for you, I hope the same 🤞🏼 x

Yes.

They're not baby-related but seem to be channeling a lot of lifelong rage. For example, I recently dreamt about retaliating and poking my childhood bully in the eye with a pencil.

It was good news for me today - scan showed baby measuring 6 weeks 5 days with a heartbeat 😍 I am relieved for now! X

Congratulations @Lookingforhope26! I did another test this morning and got a dye stealing positive, so at least know it’s not a chemical at this point (4+5).

I’ve had a few mmcs where there was no heartbeat at 6-7 weeks, so just need to wait until then at this point. No symptoms really yet but that’s normal for me at this stage.

Hi! tentatively joining as just found out I’m pregnant with our second. First was IVF so this is a big surprise (well, we had started loosely trying/hoping and had no expectation it would happen naturally!) so we’re delighted albeit a little nervous. The joy of having a missed period and an unexpected positive test is incredible, after the stress of our first journey.

I had on/off implantation bleeding with my first and none so far with this one, other than a little bit of milky pink the day my period was due which made me think it was starting. And nothing since. So seems like a very different pregnancy this time round.

Got an early scan booked for 6.5wks, going to lose my mind waiting until then!

Babydustthisyear · Yesterday 12:29

Hey Ladies just joining in, I’m due 30th April so would likely be May. This is our second baby and our last baby that will complete our family I have a little girl who’s 2.5 and will be 3 when baby is here!

Hope your all keeping well, I am 7 plus 2, I had a scan at 6 weeks because I had bleeding but thankfully all is well, I have a 8 week scan booked I did that privately before the bleeding so at least I don’t have too long to wait for another bit of reassurance.

soooo exciting, I just can’t wait to share my news the first trimester goes soooo slow 🙈🙈

Pip1402 · Yesterday 12:48

Is anybody else feeling emotional? I’m 5+3 and cannot stop crying today. I can’t remember being like this last time but may have just wiped it from my memory.

Milennialworkinprogress · Yesterday 12:51

Hey mamas, we had a scare today!
Woke up and wiped blood, called 111 and immediately got an appointment with an out of hours doctor who said I had a UTI.

Wasn't convinced so scoured the internet and found a private scan an hour later. I honestly feared the worst but we have a heartbeat and baby is measuring exactly as they should. The emotions today have been insane and the fear/adrenaline cancelled out my nausea.

So so grateful we have all these services available to us!!

Awww glad your ok, this happened to me last week it was soooo frightening xx

Got my first dye stealer with boots test today and 2-3 weeks on digital. I’m 4+4 it’s such a long wait to 6 week scan 😭 does anyone else just find it hard to believe there’s a baby in there despite what tests say?

Lookingforhope26 · Yesterday 17:48

Thank you @MummaAgain2026 and @FolkSongSweet

I’ve been prescribed progesterone, can anyone tell me what to expect from this as I’ve never had it before? X
