Hi everyone, there was quite a few of us ladies who were hovering in the ttc board that have our bfp and location scans. I love the chatter, so I have started this hoping that you will all join me. 
Fab idea! Hope the others come across!
I now don’t have to see anyone until the 7th March!!! I’ll be 10+4 and that’s the booking in app with midwife!!! It’s one extreme to the other!!!
Xx
Oh yes I was like that. Now I have 2 appointments a week lol.Xxx so pleased your scan went well.xxx
Thanks for starting this, Bec!
I haven’t looked into midwives or anything here. I don’t know what is even available. I guess now that I’ve had my scan, I should start thinking about the future!
Your welcome.xx
I think at 28 weeks I can hardly class myself as ttc anymore lol.xxx
I was told to try and book in with midwife around 8 weeks, mostly to give chance fir the 12 week scan date to come through. Xxx
Thanks for the new thread Bec!
Vix and lily congrats on the scan results so happy for you both.
I’m off to see my GP this afternoon, I am doing shared care with hospital and GP I did that with my son and it worked really well so using that option again!
Bec glad your 28 week check went well do you feel like you are on the home stretch yet?
Bec is great u have a 3 yr old too… a bigsis for ur lil bubba 
Chrissie I get that too some mornings wen brushed teeth makes u want to throw up.
Thanks Lily I feel alot better today n im just praying il sleep better tonight. Im hoping it was a one off situation. That sounds horrible what u had too… its more scarier wen it wakes u from ur sleep.
I think its good idea to do this nrw thread Bec. I hope all u ladies healthy scan results rub off on me nxt week n I get one too… im counting the days. I know I need to know for peace of mind
Iv already got my midwife appointment booked in for Feb 29 th wen il be 9+2… hoping all is well. X x
Hi Ladies,
Glad we have a new thread… Was getting a bit conscious of it myself… Glad ye are all doin well!!
Eating my weetabix… Trying not to heave… Up three times to pee last night… So tired!! Work trousers currently unbuttoned while I eat lol… Need to get new bra today cos starting to resemble Pamela Anderson! Lol… Moan over… Feel so lucky to have all these symptoms tho!!! Long may they last!!!
Dr visit went well 12 week scan booked for 2 March. Really looking forward to that one as hoping Nausea might reduce by then and will finally feel like we can start to tell family and friends that we are expecting. Bought a really cool Tshirt for my 3yo son so he can make the announcement.
Crown rump measurements put me a day behind what I thought according to LMP but doubt they will change due date by 1 day.
Interesting to read that I ovulated from right ovary (left tube removed) yay right ovary good job!
Eating dinner and feeling quite nauseous, so different to last pregnancy hoping this means it might be a little girl (but would of course be happy with a boy also).
Wishing you all a relaxing and restful weekend!
Today feels different. I can start telling people that I’m pregnant. This is SO weird. Dh called his Dad last night and told his brother and sister in law. Our moms have known since very early on (dh’s parents aren’t together, otherwise that would be cruel to not tell him!). I just told my mom she can tell my grown nieces and my sister. Over the next week, we’ll tell who we want to tell, then we’ll tell our Moms they are free to spread the news on Valentines Day. They are both dying to share the news. It really doesn’t seem real. I really hope this little one keeps growing. I guess I should tell my office soon. That will take off the pressure of trying to hide my belly every day in what I’m wearing.
I hope you’re all having a great Friday, and have a good weekend planned, whatever that entails! For me, it means no plans, just relaxing at home with dh and a book.
Bec 2 a week how come don’t think I had it that often with my little girl?
Tee I was thinking of a shirt for my little girl to wear to announce as well she is going to be so excited she is constantly asking when we will have a baby (so heart breaking when Ttc) I did also think I will prob have a private scan a bit later so she can be a part of that as the 12 week one at hospital it doesn’t normally say to try not take other children!
I asked at my scan yesterday which side is ovulated from and it seems mine was the good side with tube so left.
Since yesterday I am constantly feeling sick I eat and it helps then I start to feel sick whilst eating! I was slightly sick yesterday am but not today. I also have a slight headache!!! Back to work today I’m dreading being in th pool for 3 hours 35 degrees!!!
I’ve been brave today and downloaded the baby enter app as well that gives you updates on baby’s development!
Hope everyone else is well! Xxx
It’s because I’m under consultant, specialist midwife, community midwife, physio and counselor. Although now I have been told I can have a c section the counselor may pull out a little.
Got a bit of a sore arm today from the whooping cough jab but it’s worth it when you think what the consequences of not having it may be. Xxx
I’m glad to be home for the weekend and definitely glad they swapped me departments at work. Mostly I’m thankful to my parents so I don’t have to try and do the 1 mile walk home every night. I’m still able to walk ( just) but last Friday I was down to shuffling around lol.Xxx it’s a massive improvement for me. Xxx
So pleased everyone is happy in our new home. Just praying that some of the ttc girls join us soon. Xxx
Lily it must be a great feeling to know u can start telling everyone n now u feel more safe n positive about ur pregnancy
Chrissie I know the feeling. . Iv been undoing my botton on work trousers coz its too uncomfortable n tight n I use a hair band to put instead of buttoning it up.
I still feel sick at times but eating reg n having ginger biscuits help.
My bf has gone out with my bruv n his neph tonight so im home alone. I was bit jealous not being able to go too but even thou I would of gone and stuck to coke. I realised im too tired to be out allnnight to like 3am.
Its nice to have place to myself to relax although I do panic a bit when im hom alone n preg incase something went wrong but I told bf to keep eye on phone.
Does anyone else get so bloated sometimes that they struggle to eat? Coz ur so bloated n uncomfortable?
I hope other ladies who are ttc join us on here and get a positive result soon.
I hope everyone has a relaxing wknd x x
Hey Girls,
Hope ye are all doing well… I’m in bed with a hot water bottle… Horrible achy cramp all day and splitting headache so I’m hoping it’s okay to have a lot water bottle??? Any advice??
It’s mad cos there’s times throughout the day where I genuinely feel great and then there’s days like today where I just want to be in bed… It’s funny cos when my symptoms disappear for a while I worry myself sick. I’m so relieved the worse I feel! Lol!
I’m due to have my scan on Monday to check for a heartbeat. I’m quite nervous about it if I’m honest cos eventhough I’m trying to be really positive, I know on some level I’ve been subconsciously expecting something to go wrong. I was so relieved at scan when they told me it was in the womb. And I relaxed a bit after that. But now I’m wrecking my head bout the scan on Monday… Praying to God that there is a heartbeat and then I’m considering telling my parents, sister and best friend… What are yer plans when it comes to telling people or have ye told people yet?
My heart goes out to you hun, I remember the feeling when we had our mmc, it was so cruel. I will keep everything crossed for you and send loads of positive thoughts. Xxx
Chrissie im sorry to hear about ur cramps. I know what u mean when my symptoms go I start to worry a bit even thou its nice to have a break from cramps n sickness n sore boobs n today I even thought my stomach looked a bit smaller but I think I was just a lil bit less bloated. Coz I eat diff at wknd to wen at work.
I think u are fine to have a hot water bottle jus make sure it has a cover over it so its not too hot. Iv read about cramps n it said on Google its normal in early preg n it suggested we use hot water bottle, warm baths, rest and gentle exercise.
So that is what I do… I go to bed with hot water bottle every nite n today I was lying on sofa with my hot water bottle to ease my cramps n I have a bath every nite but try not to have it too hot n sometimes if iv sat down for too long il try walk a bit n gently rub my belly to ease the cramps or and drinking water should help too… make sure u drink enough will help headaches.
I understand ur fears re ur scan… I really pray for u ul see ur baby’s heart beat n then u can breath n relax n tell ur family n friends wen ur ready.
Im really scared as on wed im waiting to bear hopefully too things tbst they can see my baby on the scan and a heart beat too as im told at 6+4 they should hopefully hear heart beat too.
Im trying to n hopeful. But its so hard… and I had some sharp pains on right side on groin today n it scared me a bit as I haven’t had that for over a week I think but I jus try to tell myself its normal n alls ok.
Iv told my twin sis already as she’s supported me tbe whole time n all the months I waa ttc n getting sad wen I told her I waa preg.
All we can do us look after herself n hope n pray.
I pray n hope that we both get positive svan results next week. Hopefully wel both be saying how happy n relieved we are to have seen our babies hear beats.
Try to believe it n visualize it n keep praying.
Il keep praying for u Chrissie x x
Chrissie, sounds like a really tough one today! I googled to see what I could find and didn’t see anything that said hot water bottles are bad. Cramps can be normal. Headaches are definitely a pregnancy symptom. I’ve got everything crossed for you on Monday.
Here’s hoping next week is a great week for scans for both you and princess pink. Does anyone else have a scan coming up this week?
As for telling people, we told our moms and I told my best friend pretty well right away. Now we’ve told our other immediate family.
Thanks alot Lily… fingers crossed me and Chrissie both get great scan results x x
Bec,
Thanks for your well wishes… Hope all is good with you and you’re having a relaxing weekend!
Princesspink,
Thanks for your advice regarding the hot water bottle… After using it for about an hour last night on tummy and lower back I felt loads better…
Thanks for your positive wishes with my scan on Monday. I’m so hoping we both get on good next week and we can have that conversation bout how relieved and excited we are!
Lily,
Thanks for your info bout the hot water bottle and cramps and headaches… With any other pregnancy I had I’ve never felt such strong symptoms so it’s hard to know what’s normal and what’s not without the help of you lovely ladies and Google of course! I am so excited to tell my parents and sister… I’m meeting up with my best friend today and she has been so super supportive through all my failed pregnancies before so I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to keep it to myself that my scan is tomoro… I don’t particularly want to tell her before I tell my parents n sister but I know she’s going to be asking me how I’m getting on with ttc and I don’t want to be lying and then telling her tomoro bout my scan. Think I might just bite the bullet and tell her. And then if all goes well with scan tomoro i can tell my parents and sister tomoro evening. It must be nice for you having told someone… I think I’ve been afraid to but it might make it feel more real and positive for me when I do tell someone…
Chrissie, have fun with your friend today. I told my BFF the same day I got the BFP. But, that’s also because we’ve both been through a lot of losses together and supported each other through the good and bad outcomes. It really helped me to tell her because I could go to her with all my fears and know she understood - kind of like this forum. She has two beautiful little girls, and just had the most recent one in November. But between the two girls, she had three losses, and had been through the infertility testing, etc. I still haven’t told my other two close friends. Honestly, I’ve been avoiding calling them as I didn’t want them to ask about TTC and having to decide if I was going to lie or tell them before I was ready.
I’m excited to start prenatal yoga tonight! I don’t know if I’m in the 2nd trimester yet, or if it is still another week away (I’ll be 13 weeks tomorrow according to the doctors, Wednesday according to my last AF), but my energy levels are definitely up. I’m going to take advantage of that while I have the energy. I went to the gym yesterday for a walk on the treadmill. Here’s hoping I can get back into better shape! I was pretty active before the BFP, then was too afraid of a miscarriage and too tired, so didn’t do much at all!
