Thanks so much ladies, I'm so very nervous, will let you know when I get back, I've read too many stories of babies with no heartbeats etc, scared of that too but nothing I can do to change anything. Speak to you all later xxxxxx

Ladies I think that was the most scared I've ever been! Lay on the couch literally shaking, tried not to but couldn't help it! The lovely midwife said you're shaking like a leaf just to let you know this baby has a heartbeat! Then they turned the monitor round and there was my baby with a little flickering heart, all the measurements were spot on, baby is measuring perfectly for my dates and I'm exactly 7 weeks 4 days, we have got a pic with baby looking like a little turtle lol. I just can't believe it I was convinced my nausea wasn't severe enough, they said every pregnancy is different, the epau have now discharged me and I'll be scanned again at 12/14 weeks, my first midwife app is Wednesday at 9am I still can't believe it!!! Xxxxxxx

That is fabulous news, have been thinking about you.

That feeling of lying on the couch waiting is the worst ever.

You can relax for a while now.

Love your pic, a little turtle bean!

 

[Oasis717]

[Oasis717]

It's so lovely that you all care so much, I honestly don't know what I'd have done without you. Thankyou xx

 

[Left wonderin]

Oh Beck's , I was away for the weekend so only catching up on this now !!! Reading all the posts over the weekend was nerve wreaking enough cant imagine how you were feeling but I am Sooooooooo happy and delighted for you . I saw your scan and had a tear, thanks for sharing such a precious moment with us

I can't imagine how scared you were !!! Hope you have the biggest smile on your face now .
You give me such hope and I'm sure many .

Now you make sure to look after yourself and your turtle bean who looks very snug xx

 

[Oasis717]

Aw hunni thank you so much, that's so kind of you, I honestly was shaking from head to toe for those seconds, I truely believed they would say it's all over, I'm so glad the midwife quickly told me there was a heartbeat, I've never been so relieved in all my life, I know it's not a guarantee but it's a really positive, fantastic start with all measurements spot on, for the very first time today I mentally connected with this pregnancy, I think I'd distanced myself to protect myself but all I keep thinking about tonight is that tiny beating heart and I'm willing my Lo to fight and be ok. Xxxxxx

 

[Xanth]

Do you temp?

I've ovulated as early as cd12 and late as cd21. If you temp at least you can mostly make sure of ovulation day by your temp rise.

 

[Left wonderin]

Nope but may invest in a thermometer tommrow !!! Should I take temp first thing in the am ?

 

[Oasis717]

Yes every morning at the same time before you get up, eat, talk anything! Xx
Well I had jacket potato cheese and Sainsburys coleslaw tonight, the most I've managed to eat lately and I've just read you're not supposed to eat shop bought coleslaw cause of the risk of Listeria, I thought it was only homemade with raw eggs you can't eat, great xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Sounds yum ) not to worry about the coleslaw it's a once off . The OH out for the count on the sofa so no chance of b'ding tonight ! Will be an early morning for me lol..

 

[Oasis717]

Dh said the same as you! I mustn't worry so much, yes grab an early morning xxxx
