Good news.. Beta has gone from 506 to 1950 in 4 days so doubling nicely. Doesn't look like twins

Thanks girls. Taken a lot of weight off my shoulders. Twin pregnancy can be difficult.
Now lookolo forward to the scan..

How's everyone feeling? Have you all told anyone about it? I m soooo tempted

 

[Sushai]

Great news demotivated!

As for telling anyone my husband and kids know. My two daughters spilled the beans first day back at school lol. So two of the mothers know and all the teachers at my daughters kindy! I hate people knowing before 12 weeks it’s just hard if things don’t go as planned.

Also... 6 weeks today, yay! I have another scan coming up on the 18th. Hopefully I’ll get to see the heartbeat then and then I’ll feel a lot more comfortable with people knowing.

I have missed so much in one day!!

Congratulations to the new bfps and welcome!

Still no symptoms here other than some stretching pains! Sometimes it had me worried and other times I’m like nope I’m not going to worry I’m just going to enjoy the sick free days! Boobs feel fuller but not painful. Oh and I’m sleepy a lot!

I called my dr and got a random receptionist that does things by the books and made my appointment on 2/28 which will put me at almost 9 weeks! And the funny part was she tried to tell me I’d only be about 6 weeks based on my LMP of 12/31! Lol I was like um no mam I’ll be almost 9 weeks and he normally sees all his patients by 7 weeks and sees me because of my history immediately after finding out. She tried to say well that doesn’t mean your baby will be almost 9 weeks! I was like oh wow.. ok just make it and I’ll call the nurse later! I haven’t even bothered to call the nurse yet! Debating on if I should just leave it. I recently got rid of my Doppler because we decided to be done and here I am now needing one!! So I’ll probably go ahead and buy a new one.

Morning girls!

Cramping last night and slightly this morning. They aren’t as strong as last nights but still freaking me out.
I have my booking appointment with my midwife today which is unusual because I’m only 5 weeks. I wonder why. Because last month she booked me in for when I’d be around 8 weeks.

Hope everyone’s ok. X

Only hubby knows and will be staying that way till 12 weeks scan.. after two miscarriages I swore I would not tell anyone till I'm 12 weeks as the phone call to say I lost the baby is horrible..

@LNWXO I had some cramping to this morning.. we are the same amount of weeks so could be stretching pain..
Good luck with your appointment


Afm.. sickness started last night.. haven't been sick since so could just be something I ate but feeling horrible this morning can only eat small meals every hour or so.. struggling to get any water into me at all so that is a concern.. gone off all fizzy drinks so forcing myself to sip water all day x

Yeah that’s true. Sorry your not feeling great this morning. I don’t have sickness, it’s frustrating me. I have a fear of sick and I never had sickness with my son but I’d rather be feeling sick and know things are going ok.
Roll on Tuesday! X

Went to my midwife app. Went well, had a student midwife do my bloods while I was there, also got my notes etc. Had to go through all history. I’m not midwife led, I’m consistent led as high risk atm because of my blood pressure going so high after birth. She said hopefully he will put back to midwife led though, just wants to get his take on it. (Hope so as I want to go to the birthing centre again) Also she had requested him to discuss progesterone with me, and see if I need it (due to mc) I’ve been classed as a vulnerable person (which has annoyed me slightly) I have slight mental health issues I get that and I’m glad they are aware of it, but I don’t think I need to be called vulnerable? And even if I do, I wish she didn’t tell me. It’s really upset me. But yeah went well. Just gotta wait for the scan now....

 

[Shorty88]

Just got a email from my doc she cancelled my app on the 12th

She is a endo specialist and at the min there is a nurse and midwife strike in Ireland .. she has had to cancel some operations last week and this week so she is back in theatre on the 12th.. I understand and agree with the nurses strike so i can't be too mad just frustrated.. she is going to see if she can get me in the following week

 

[Shorty88]

Booked for the 16th now.. not to bad I'll be 6 weeks 3 days so should defo see heart by then

 

[Baby_brain]

Hi gals! Sounds like everything is going well for everyone. I have been soooo naseuous the last couple of days. So much worse than I was with my daughter. My booking appointment is on Sunday. Excited to get the ball rolling!

Also my parents told me today that they would like to pay for me to have an early reassurance scan! I am so grateful and so excited. I think I am going to book it for a week on Saturday where I should be 8 weeks (by my dates not LMP.)

 

[Shorty88]

@LNWXO Just seen your post there.. sorry to hear the nurse made you feel shitty..

I had pre and post natal depression on my dd2 and I suffer with anxiety and depression so I will be seeing the counsellor soon enough also.

Sometimes they don't think before they speak xx

They should not have made you feel that way. Not fair to label you that way.

Hi ladies
I'm just joining I'm only 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant with mine and hubbys 3rd baby.
My due date will be 16th October

Got this on a cheepie this is the darkest I've seen it so far with this brand
Been getting strong BFPs on FRER since 11DPO.


Test line on left and control on right. Cudnt believe yesterdays it's even darker than control line and came up in seconds.
I'm still in shock and worried because it's so early as I've had 2 chemicals and also a MC at 10 weeks. So been testing like crazy making sure them lines are getting darker.
I also did a didgi which said pregnant 1-2 but still worrying. I just pray a) there's a baby in there and b) it's healthy. And that I can get to at least 36 weeks.
I feel huge already. My belly has got serious bloat.

Haha what on earth lol.
My last preganacy was a high risk pregnancy because in 2011 I had a liver transplant. I got to 32 weeks and developed pre eclampsia and also that liver thing where u itch like mad that u get only in pregnancy. Not sure the medical name for it.
Anyway I got as far as 35+4 and they broke my waters and DD was born weighing 5lb 7oz. She was very sick when she was born and was in SCBU for 16 days. She lost weight went down to 4lb 10oz. We brought her home at 16 days and weighing 5lb 1oz. She is now 6 years old. My little miracle.

So this pregnancy will also be high risk. And even more so because I'm alot older. I'm 39. So I am real nervous. I just pray I have a healthy baby this time. I prob will have to have this baby in September because I know they won't allow me to go full term but my due date is still October so I'm staying here if ure all have me hehe.

Sorry about the essay lol. And life story just wanted u all to know a little about me. Our DS is 8 and I also have 2 grown up children from a previous relationship.

I can’t believe we’re all getting ready for appointments or having appointments!

@Suggerhoney that is so scary about your previous pregnancy but prayers for a safe and easy one this time with a healthy baby and momma!@baby_brain yay for a reassurance scan! How sweet of them!

@Shorty88 stinks about rescheduling but the 16th isn’t too far away!! Plus side is baby will be bigger and should be able to see heartbeat!!

@LNWXO not a nice comment! Maybe they meant well but should have totally used common sense and been more aware of their choice of words! Glad everything else went well!

As for me.. spoke to my dr nurse and she of course moved up my appointment! It’s on 13th or 14th! I swore it was the 14th because I asked if anything was available on Thursday but then when I was telling my husband I couldn’t remember if maybe she said 13th! Thankfully they send reminder calls and texts messages out so I will know! I will have an ultrasound first and then see him for a couple of moments. I’ll probably keep my appointment for the 28th too because that’s when I meet with the coordinator to go over all the financial stuff, dos and donts and stuff that for a third time mom to be seems irrelevant but oh well!

Anyone have an announcement planned?
