Hopefully you can all click on the link above if this is something you are interested in.
It's not the exact same as what I did as the course I did was a trial run by the NHS at several birthing suites in Lancashire.
I found it to be absolutely brilliant and, as well as preparing you for childbirth, it helps you to realise that we are totally in control of our bodies and, by focusing our energy on what's important ( bringing our baby out in a calm and controlled way ) you can have an almost pain free labour xoxo

Hey all, been crazy busy lately but wanted to update. Got my 3rd beta result: tripled in 3 days! It went from 444 to 1586! No more betas! U/s on June 23rd!

And for those of you still fretting over pee stick progression, just know I had 5 in a row that were lighter (by a lot) and I was still doubling at 39 hrs.

Thank you for that reassurance *from the lady who poas this morning and whose line still isnt any darker I have been drinking ridiculous amounts of water so that could be it too.

Good morning ladies, and happy weekend! I won't be on here much today (really busy day) but it starts off with me getting my first betas taken, Tuesday will be my second draw. I'm a little nervous because I continue to have ~very~ small spots of brown in my cm. The past two days I had nothing and then last night I had it again and again this morning. It's always mixed in with my cm, always brown, and not very much but it's a bit worrisome. I'm just hoping it's not ectopic.

There's nothing I can do about it if it is, my good friend, the one I was so worried about the other day....she's had spotting the entire time as well, every day. And her US came out just fine, I keep reminding myself of that! lol

Five weeks today. Still incredibly nervous. But I just think I can do what I can and nothing more. I hope squishy is ok

Hi girls? Just got home from work and really pleased that I got a 3+ on my cb digi, which I was saving but glad I've done it now xx

 

[laurac1988]

Congrats Hun

We have the same due date!

 

[RaspberryK]

Yeah we do at the moment, I had a feeling that it'd change as I ovulated later than cd 14 but since I got such a strong result I'm not sure yet xx

 

[laurac1988]

Yeah I ovulated on cd20 so I think mine will change too.

My tests are still not hugely dark, but darkening a little. Pretty much sworn off the pregnancy tests now. They were causing me too much worry

excellent news I want to see 3+ but i'm to scared, i got my 2-3 weeks at 12dpo! i'm just going to enjoy being pregnant and hope i can say that for the next 8 months x

 

[babyfeva]

Morghan- awesome betas!

Eme-hope the spotting is nothing.

Raspberry-yay for the 3+

Yeah i was shocked to see 2-3 i was expecting 1-2 lol I got clear BFP at 8dpo on cheapies and First response Rapid result (not even the early one) so must have been an early implanter, which i'm grateful for as my last was a late implanter (BFP at 15dpo) which didn't stick.

first scan is 7th July at EPU under FS... that's my next milestone i'll be around 9 weeks then

 

[RaspberryK]

Good luck, it'll come around before you know it.

Wow this board moves fast. Today I am 6 weeks exactly. I still have virtually no symptoms. Only some pulling in the right side of my abdomen and a gurgly bubbly stomach. No soreness in BBs unless I push them hard, but that doesn't feel good anytime. Can you ladies reassure me a bit? I don't go for my first u/s for 10 more days. At least my betas were more than doubled in three days when I got them checked at 14 and 17 dpo. I stopped poas when I got 2-3 weeks digi back on 16dpo.

 

[bridgetboo62]

sometimes my cramps are kind of bad not extremely painful but bad enough for it to kind of take my breath away they only last about 5-15 seconds but that has been happening since i first found out i was pregnant on the day of my missed period
no blood not even the tiniest spot ever
but i think i will ask my midwife about it at my first appointment

Hi I'm kind of in the same boat!

I've had maybe a few waves of nausea but no sore boobs after 5+3 (unless i push really hard too lol!!!!) and its hard especially since I was so sick my first pregnancy!

I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. Like you i stopped testing 16dpo when i got 2-3 weeks. I was thinking of testing today (how silly right?) And i realized that even if i saw a 3+ i would not feel any better because I'm too far away from 16dpo....Lol!!!!

I think we should try to enjoy the symptom free time. I remember last time i was worried sick when i wasn't having all symptoms by 5 weeks. Soon after i regretted all the worry as i spent the majority of the entire pregnancy sick as a dog...Lol!!!!

So just take a deep breath. You haven't had "bad symptoms" right? No bleeding or severe cramps? I tell myself to calm down, we're actually in the minority of all women finding out super early etc. Lots of women don't even know they're pregnant yet at 6 weeks. Maybe we're expecting too much? Lol!!!! Remember, as paralyzing as the fear of loss is, all we can do is eat right, drink enough, rest, and not stress (and pray! If you're like me ) you have a much higher chance of having a perfect pregnancy than not.

Hope that helps. And of course it'd be super reassuring if we're both feeling like crap next week at this time

 

[ttc126]

I'm sorry for your loss slowloris

Hugs to you!

 

[bridgetboo62]

yay my baby is now the size of a pea!
eyelids are forming
and "hand plates" appear whatever that means
supposedly six weeks today according to LMP
no nausea yet
maybe it really is a boy haha

 

[ttc126]

Bridget could be a boy! I was so sick with my son. Had every sign of it being a girl. Every wives tale, Chinese gender calendar everything. But he is all boy. I was sicker than all my friends with girls or boys. Unfortunately i guess you can never know until that 20 week scan or birth
