November BFP with #2 - anyone else?

[Mummafrog]

Aww that's so sweet! I'm hoping for that moment tomorrow when I take the digi and hubby stops being in denial xD

I had literally the worst bloating ever from.. wait for it.. an omelette? It was like painful. I only usually bloat from wheat haha. I was trying to be healthy and quick for dinner but nooo! And my womb is just twingey and uncomfortable. Otherwise no symptoms really.. YET.

Awh I'm sorry about your mmc here's to a sticky rainbow beanie I'm thinking more like 8/9 weeks only because I want a good picture to maybe show close family at Christmas but I might break and book it sooner..

Hey everyone!

I've just posted myself and then I saw this group! My little girl is 2.5yo, she'll be 3 in June and then I have just got my bfp this afternoon for baby n2, due 23rd of July

I'm still terrified it'll turn into a chemical or something and it really hasn't sunk in... but I'm starting to feel very happy. I hope hubby joins me soon, he's a bit in denial right now xD I'm getting a lot of cramping and twinging too, but I had the same the first time.

Is anyone going for an early scan? I'm in the UK but might get an 8 week private one this time, I want the reassurance before Christmas.

I'm not sure when I'll tell dd... she's still just that bit too young to really grasp it, but I was thinking after the 20 week scan? And we can really try and help her understand siblings before that point. She absolutely adores babies so I am not too worried hehe.

I have already booked our early scan, two days before Christmas. I'll be just over 9 weeks so it should be a fairly decent picture. We're going to the same place I had an early scan with DD.

As for telling DD, I desperately look forward to telling her, but can't until we've told our parents etc (after 12wk scan) and until we're out of the woods. She's been asking for a baby brother or sister for a year, it was actually the only thing she asked for for her birthday this year! But I also know the moment she knows, she'll tell everyone who will listen! That I'm not ready for yet!

Hi ladies! Hoping to join you on this journey! Pregnant with #2, EDD July 15th! I have a three year old daughter also. Been a crazy year of chemical pregnancies and IVF.... turns out this little miracle is natural conception which is making me super anxious. On and off symptoms, mostly just occasional breast tenderness. I'm only 5w2d but started some brown spotting today which I'm trying to relax about.... but that's hard to do! Pretty light amount. Repeat beta tomorrow morning.

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Hi Loneco :wave: Fingers crossed for fantastic numbers tomorrow and a super sticky bean.

 

[Mummafrog]

I've just got my pregnant 1-2 on a digi! There's no denying that haha. Hubby fully believes me now I'm still scared but hoping it's nice and sticky.

Yeah I'm thinking sometime in my 8th week or possibly the 19th of Dec where I'd be 9+1. I'm just going to wait till I get to 5 weeks before booking anything, I get nervous

How's everyone feeling? My cramps have pretty much gone and my tummy is just sensitive and full feeling and sometimes I get a mild wave of nausea. I hope it doesn't get too bad xD

 

[Mummafrog]

Awh good luck for the betas today loneco, a bit of spotting can be totally normal but I know it would make me worry too.

Hello everyone!

I got my BFP on Nov. 9th, edd July 18th. I took another test on the 10th, which was stronger.

This will be baby #1 for me, and I am starting to be increasingly worried about something going wrong. Anybody else?

I'm only 4 weeks 5 days, but I've been having nausea since before my tests showed positive. I've heard that might be a good sign?

It's my first too and I do worry about miscarrying or having no heartbeat. I just take it one day at a time. Everyday I am pregnant is a good day. I'll be 6 weeks on Tuesday. I've had nausea on and off but the past two days it's been rough.

 

[Mummafrog]

Welcome to motherhood my dears, the worrying starts from your first positive and never stops! *sigh* it helps when you have a scan I am just as worried the second time.. if not more so because everything went well last time so I'm being all superstitious!
We've got to try and breathe these worries away and like pitbull says, be thankful for every day

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

What Mummafrog said is true, you never stop worrying. My first will be 2 on December 6th and I'm always a worry wart about everything! Just means our hearts are filled with love at least that's what I tell my husband when he rolls his eyes at my worries.

 

[Mummafrog]

Well I've done it; I've sent my self-referral form to maternity services and booked myself an early scan for the 17th when I'll be 8+6, so hopefully will get a good picture for Christmas, all being well

I'm already starting to feel pregnant, which I love, it's helping me believe it. My womb feels heavy and twingey but not too bad, I'm sleepy and my tummy is bloated so it looks rounder (I'm a big lady) hehe also one of the first things that happens to me is an aversion to sweet things. Normally I'd rather have ice cream instead of dinner but when I'm pregnant I'm only interested in savory! It's a blessing, I tend to lose weight when pregnant haha.

 

[Phin27]

So I've a uti! Just on time too, every single time I get preg I get a uti at my bfp time. Thankfully my dr is outta town so can avoid her lol so heading to the stand in later for antibiotics. Also booked in tomorrow to get my hcg done. I'll go back in on Thursday too. She was hesitant to do them for me, but I explained bout my mmc and she had no issue.

Feeling ok, still bloated but my jeans still fit so it's more in my head, still feeling nauseatous at times and boobs throb by the night. But otherwise feeling good. 4 weeks 5 days today.

 

[Pitbullmom29]

I opted for leggings this morning since I'm bloated. My nausea is no joke these past two days each day it gets more and more intense. My boobs have gotten bigger. I go for my 6 weeks appointment on Thursday!

 

[Girly922]

I've been feeling like AF is coming today, with some cramps and increased CM, but I remember feeling like this with DD and being paranoid that AF was going to show up. After two early mc, I don't think I'll ever relax in the first tri!

 

[Mummafrog]

Sorry about the uti phin! What a pain that you always get them. I've got an annoying infection in my wisdom tooth I think, was hoping not to go to the dentist till I got my maternity pass!

Haha sounds like good strong symptoms pitbull xD have you ever tried ginger capsules? Or if you like the taste various ways to get ginger in, like ginger tea or biscuits, it's supposed to help with nausea x

I'm sorry it's hard to relax girly :/ I can completely understand. If it helps I'm having major cramps that make me want to lie down and I did with the first too, I feel heavy down there like it's coming. Why not do another test to see a nice dark line? X

I like your thinking! I actually used my last frer earlier just yo see that strong line and to see it progressing

I feel confident in this pregnancy, and I have a good feeling about it. But the fear is still very much present. It'll get better once I've had my scan at Christmas.

I'm the complete opposite to you food wise, I crave sweet things. Anything sweet, but mainly chocolate. I hope that'll pass quickly so I don't put on a ridiculous amount of weight. Lol.

 

[Mummafrog]

Haha I'm addicted to peeing on things xD I'm trying to wait another day to use my last frer, then I've ordered two more cb digis so I can do one a week and see the number of weeks go up... #sad
I'm sure that good feeling is right, mummy's instinct and all that bean is clinging on and growing fast!

Haha it's weird isn't it.. I spent a few weeks licking salt and vinegar crisps last time... *facedesk*

 

[Ready4Babe]

So I went in this morning for my 2nd ultrasound. I am 6 weeks 3 days, baby measuring at 6 weeks 2 days. I am trying not to worry over it, they say that is an acceptable measurement. I am hoping to get a measurement on the heartbeat next week. The nurse didn't want to stress the baby out today by trying to get the measurement. She was already in there for awhile. So, I am hoping for more good new next week!

btw - I am getting so many ultrasounds because I was using a fertility specialist to get pregnant. I happened to get pregnant on my own in an off cycle, but I still get the benefits of seeing the specialist until the end of the 1st trimester.

 

[Mummafrog]

Aww bless! So cute don't worry about one day hunny! There is a massive variation in when these little beans implant for different people, so it's totally normal for the scan to show a day or two one side or the other. I hope you see that beautiful flickering heartbeat next week

Not sad at all! I have a 2 pack upstairs waiting so I can see my 2-3 and 3-4

Now I normall love salt and vinegar crisps, but even the thought of that sounds awful! Lol. I had my first bout of nausea today as I was late getting lunch and had to extend my day at work, it eased once I had eaten though which I'm happy about.


That's great Ready4Babe! Measuring a day behind isn't a problem at all. I know at my 7wk scan with DD I was measuring 2 days behind but they said it's completely normal to not measure exactly on your dates as all babies grow at different rates.
Getting the perks of regular scans through your fertility specialist sounds great!
