February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

[SpudsMama]

Hi ladies! May I be added please? I'm due with #3 on February 22! I have a 2012 DD and 2013 DS. Is there a Facebook group or just here on bnb?

Welcome and Congratulations

A FB group sounds awesome Brandi It'll be one of those groups that don't get posted on my friends newsfeeds right? I'm guessing so but just checking because I'm paranoid about the cat being let out of the bag before I'm ready to announce

Hi GoE! Weren't we due with our daughters at the same time? Spud is an August 2012 baby although I know your lady made an early appearance!

The facebook group currently is "Closed" so it appears if your friends look through you groups. But I think on the 23rd or something it's going secret so it won't appear - I'm not joining until then

Brilliant, I'll do the same

I'll join the group when its secret too

I really really want to tell my 3 closest friends but my hubby won't let me!! We all had babies within a week of each other (we met at NCT classes) and I am going for dinner with them next weekend. I really want to tell!

I am in need of some distractions, the time is just going soooooo slowly for me. 3 weeks today until our private scan!

Search me on Facebook, ladies. Brandi Nunes...brownish curly hair.

The only way to get in once it goes secret is to be added by a member, and only way to add a new member is to be friends with them.

You can add by email as well once it's secret. Admin just has to approve it!

Any one else's symptoms start stupidly early? Fatigue has hit me big time and my boobs have gone huge and are killing me

 

[ushotmedown]

Hi, so I got a positive 2-3 weeks on a clearblue digi test yesterday I have really irregular cycles so I think I'm due around Feb 14th but I haven't been to the doctors/midwives yet

 

[ajarvis]

lozzy mine has been building from 4 weeks Just getting worse lol

ushotmedown congrats and welcome Valentines baby

 

[lozzy21]

I'm not even 4 weeks yet lol

 

[ushotmedown]

Thanks ajarvis I still can't really believe its real. I called up the Drs and they called me to test again in a week (25th) and call back, so I can't really ease up and believe i'm pregnant until then.

Congratulations and welcome!!!!

I actually have an appointment with my doctor for Monday....I booked it as a follow up to blood tests to check out why I wasn't conceiving . I am not sure whether to keep it....she knows I have had chemicals in the past so wonder whether she might put me forward for a cheeky scan (she was referring me for an ovary scan anyhow to check for pcos)..... Or whether to cancel it. In the Uk you don't have to see a doctor when pregnant...they don't confirm pregnancy with blood tests....you just get referred straight to midwife team for booking in appt

Positive test is a positive test Happy and Healthy 9 months to you!

Gosh, the whole question of terminating or not is such a personal thing. I would never judge anyone for choosing one way or the other.

For me, I will have full testing. If my NT comes back high risk I will pay for the harmony/panorama test as it gives greater accuracy. If THAT also comes back high risk I'll have an amniocentesis. I would need to know for certain before I could make any decisions and amnio is the only sure way.

At the age of 42 I am seriously considering the Harmony test. Sausages just be aware that harmony test results take about 14 days to come back that's why they typically do it around 10 weeks....results back around the time of nt and triple test on nhs. I need tonreaearch the Harmony as I wasn't going to bother as I thought it was just screening not diagnostic therefore any issues amnio still needed to confirm . But my friend and just said no it's definitive and diagnostic. Confused.com

Yeah I know the results for harmony take a while to come back. The panorama test comes back sooner though and is more accurate than harmony for some things - even though harmony is pretty accurate itself!! Panorama only takes a week to come back too.

Go to https://mums.me.uk/ and check out their info on it. I always use them for my scans anyway, they're an excellent clinic.

Okay, caught back up. The Facebook group might be easier to follow. We're telling everyone after my ultrasound on Monday. I'll feel more secure about the baby sticking at that point. I'll join then.

I just got back from telling my friend with fertility issues that I'm pregnant. She was super happy for me and didn't seem upset but you can never know what is going on inside someone's head.

Glad it all went well with your friend, I am certain she will have been happy for you. But like my friend, I bet they can't help but being sad inside for themselves. Hugs to you! Xx

I saw my friend today for the first time after I told her over the phone and she gave me a big hug and congratulated me. It was a relief. Not that I think she would be intentionally awful cause I know she wouldn't but it was nice to get that first time seeing her over with. Now hopefully we can go back to comfortable.

Hey everyone my due date 4th feb baby no2

 

[sausages]

I was part of a pregnancy Facebook group which was closed. Turns out that when you're a member of closed groups those groups are recommended to your friends on Facebook saying, "sausages is a member of pregnant and due in February do you want to join?!"

I just hope no one saw it before I left again. I would be devastated if that's how my friends and family found out!!!

can't see panorama on that link....same as NIPT? Have seen that round here and cheaper than harmony

 

[ajarvis]

oh man sausages I agree! That's why I'm waiting for it to be secret. That's not the way to let people know

 

[FLArmyWife]

I'll join the FB group once it is secret. I have too many nosey family members on FB

Yeah there's a table on the page for harmony/panorama. Go to ultrasound scans in the menu and then the harmony/panorama page. But yeah it's the NIPT section
