April 2023 Babies

[elmum]

I mean I knew that bumps show earlier with each pregnancy but wow! I didn’t realize this is your 7th. So excited we’re here together!

I’m so happy for you!!

 

[elmum]

Wow that’s a impressive bump @elmum will be great to hear how your scan goes next week.

I had my first bloods taken apparently really early ‍ I was 4weeks 2 days oops so the doc wants me to redo them on Monday to double check numbers are going up as they were only at 11 so I’m praying that things improve

Praying the same for you!

 

[Nima]

@Xxenssial I hope your test goes well tomorrow!

Nausea kicked in today, along with extreme fatigue and a belly that wouldn't fit in my jeans comfortably. I am constantly hungry, nauseous or both... however I am still so anxious about not seeing a heartbeat, Tuesday feels like a year from now. I just want to know it's ok and that I can be pregnant and calm.

Hey ladies popping in to say a massive congratulations to you all so happy to see you all here you've all come so far and that makes me happy, hope you have an amazing 9 months (well less than 9 months lol) xx

 

[GemmaG]

Congrats to all the new BFP!!

I have been totally hiding as I was expecting the worst at our scan but all good! Scan on Friday measuring 7 + 1 and a good strong heartbeat. I feel so sick this past week I haven’t barely lifted my head. I have booked my harmony test for 3 weeks time just to check everything is okay. Hope everyone is keeping well x

 

[Suggerhoney]

Congratulations on your scan @GemmaG and good luck @Nima.
I don’t think I fully relaxed in my last pregnancy until I was 31 weeks, it’s so so hard when you have had loses. I know if I do fall pregnant again with my rainbow I’m gonna be a nervous wreck,
I’m sure ure scan will be perfect.

 

[GemmaG]

Hope your scan went well @Nima

 

[Nima]

Thank you ladies! My scan went very well today. Baby measure 7w3d and hb was 150bpm so just like it should be. I can breathe now

Beautiful scan!

Wonderful news!

 

[gingermango]

Sounds hard! How are you doing?how did the flight go? Congrats on seeing a heartbeat though, this must be so reassuring.

We didn’t make the holiday, I’m still dealing with whatever gastro issue this is. Have had so many stool tests it’s silly. I have private healthcare through work though so thankfully I’m being seen next week, although I’m unsure if they will do the colonoscopy before I’m in second trimester.

 

[Suggerhoney]

Massive congratulations @Nima

 

[Suggerhoney]

@elmum
U are giving me so much hope of getting my rainbow love. Have you had a scan yet? I love ure bump. I know it’s bloat but looks like a bump.
I was like that with my 3 year old son. Maternity clothing by 7 weeks.

So sorry your so poorly get well soon

Absolutely wonderful!!!

@Suggerhoney I'm living proof that anything is possible. After 9 years TTC and three losses, to be pregnant again 100% naturally is a flipping miracle. So if it can happen for me, it can TOTALLY happen for you!

@gingermango I'm sorry you're not feeling well!

I'm sorry if I missed anyone else's updates!

AFM I'm also sorry I've been totally MIA the last few days. Moving has been super time consuming.

I'm doing well, had my first beta yesterday and hcg was at 173. I'm not sure how far along I am exactly, but that seemed a teensy high for a first hcg. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings. I *think* I'm 4 weeks 4 days right now, and man, the symptoms are ridiculous. Also yesterday I was noticing baby bloat ALREADY and even DH said I looked like I was starting to get a belly. For him to notice is crazy, especially with as busy as he as been with moving. Fatigue is on and off but AWFUL when it hits and is coming along with the nighttime insomnia (again, already), nasal congestion kicked in before I even knew I was pregnant, and the cramping/ bloating pains are there (which was my only early symptom last time at this gestational age that I remember). Having some breast pain but not as much as last time, probably because I'm still nursing DS. Haven't noticed a ton of nausea though the super nose has kicked into full gear and that doesn't help.

Have a scan on the 20th. That feels like a lifetime away but I am trusting that everything is okay and going to be okay.

Hope everyone else is still doing well!!!!

So sorry to have to leave this group but it looks like a miscarriage for me. Baby measuring 6 weeks 2 days and couldn’t find the heartbeat. I can’t believe I’m here again. Now praying for another miracle rainbow baby. Will confirm with another ultrasound with my specialist on Friday and did blood work today. Really sad day

Thanks love.
I’m gonna keep on trying and hopefully it will happen.
I must be still fertile to fall twice already. We started trying at the end of February and the chemical was in April so I fell quickly.
Then I fell again in June. Had beautiful dark blazing lines but sadly they went from being absolutely blazing to faint within the space of 24 hours then I lost it at 5+1 weeks.
So it seems I can still fall pregnant but it’s the staying pregnant.
But like you said miricles do happen.
Thank you for lifting my spirits love I really do appreciate it.
Sorry the symptoms are kicking your butt but in a good wired way I’m glad they are and praying it’s a very good sign.
did they say that first blood draw was a high a reading? It could be twins. Hehe.
Make sure u pop back in the testing groups love so we can all see how your doing.
I’m so excited for you.

I actually can’t believe this and am so so saddened.
I was so sure all was gonna be great.
I really wish I could give you a big hug.
It feels so so sad because you have been trying for ages.
Life can be so so cruel:
U are in my thoughts love.
