I too LOVE having new people in our due date group! I can't wait until we have all the due in DEC, JAN and FEB girls all here to share our pregnancies.
I love your attitude Ladybugs. I have been a complete wreck today and I need to take a leaf out of your book and enjoy it :)
On a completely separate note..... My boobs are Growing to proportions I never knew existed lol. I swear earlier today I experiencing the 'let down' and I had to quickly check I wasn't leaking milk lol. I'm only seven weeks. My boobs are preparing to feed quads :rofl:
After multiple loss, you would think I would be a wreck, but I have decided a few things...Quote:

This opportunity for having a bigger family is thanks to my precious DS2...

After losing weight (and enough of it)....the boobage growth right now has me terrified! I am bursting out of everything :)Quote:

I still have my Internet cheapie BFP's stuck down on paper going from 8/9 DPO to 16 DPO. I really need to throw them out, my husband is appalled that there is 'urine sticks' in our bedroom.
I HAVE BOOKED AN EARLY SCAN WHOOP WHOOP!! It's for tomorrow at 11.00 (UK). We can't afford it but the trustee credit card will be taking care of it until payday. I just couldn't wait any longer and the NHS even though I'm a nervous wreck are still refusing to scan me until nearly 13 weeks (I haven't even had my booking in appointment yet!)
I'm very scared but I'm trying to remain optimistic after all I feel pregnant. We haven't told anyone about the scan and I won't be making the mistake of telling my motor mouth mother this time so she can declare it to the whole of Kent lol.
Wish me luck. 24 hours and 56 minutes to go!!!
Aaand I'm out. Spotting changed to full blown bleed and clots. Going to see GP tomorrow and see if there's anything I need to do other than wait it out. Going away from tomorrow, really hoping it's just that straight forward... :sad:
So so sorry bunnywabbit :( sending ((hugs)) xxQuote:

Do take it easy....and I hope that when you are ready to ttc again, that you are blessed with a sticky, healthy and pink bean!Quote:

So sorry Bunny!
I feel awful posting this after bunny's sad news. You are in my thoughts darling x
I had my scan today and baby is doing great. Had a heartbeat of 174 bpm and was measuring a few days ahead. I ovulated from the left. I'm not completely safe yet. The ultrasound tech thinks that regardless of how many miscarriages I have or haven't had that because my previous loss was a second trimester one that they should be doing blood tests. I will talk to my midwife when I eventually get my appointment but I think the most scary part for me will be when the placenta takes over. We will have a scan at 12/13 weeks then again at 15/16. Praying I can get to 16 weeks and hopefully I will be able to breath a bit.
Thats lovely 3boys u had ur scan. I hope everything works out for u.
Is anyone else hungry ALL the time? I wasnt like this with my other two. Maybe its bcos i was on the he diet. Ahhh i feel like im guna get big in the preg... My belly looks like im 3/4months already
So glad baby is doing well! Fingers crossed for you!Quote:

Hi sorry I have been MIA since I joined this thread. I started spotting 2 days after my BFP and was afraid to post and jinx the BFP somehow (silly i know), but here I am at 6 weeks and 2 days and feeling very pregnant! Some spotting here and there but no cramping so i am taking that as a positive! Having Lots of morning sickness and still getting positive tests So I am throwing caution to the wind and want to post in here! I am trying to be "relaxed" with this pregnancy and so far with all this spotting I'm driving myself batty waiting until my first DR appt on May 30th! Has anyone else experienced some spotting and then had a perfect baby in the end? With my 2DS I had some spotting from week 5-8 and i was a hot mess during that time! Dr found a "tag"(that's obviously not a technical term) that was sitting very close to my cervix and was the source of the spotting. No harm to the baby or me(other than worrying) and it was gone by the 2nd trimester! I will be 7+ weeks at my appt and I just want the dr to say everything is going well and it's another tag and no other cause for concern with the bleeding. Ugh hurry up May 30th!
Hope everyone is feeling good! I am reading everyone's updates as we go along and wishing you all the best! :-)
Soar it sounds like your pregnancy is progressing nicely if you are getting symptoms and the HPT's are getting darker. For both my miscarriages my symptoms stopped so I had an inkling something was wrong.
I still havn't had my first booking in appointment yet and I am very eager for that to come through. In all my pervious pregnancies I have seen someone around the eight week mark so I might need to ring them to remind them I am still here. HELLO??!!
Roll on May 30th.... Hope it goes quick for you. Ten days to go. Whoop whoop lol.
3boys-thank you for the vote of confidence! Yes that first dr appt is so important to ease our minds! Hopefully you get your dr date ASAP! Us mommies need to know these babies are thriving and doing well!
Soar, I did have a private scan today but it was just by an ultrasound tech who I paid out of my own pocket. I will feel better once I talk to a professional :)
Roll on the 30th soar! If they don't want you in till then they can't be concerned. My friend had significant spotting with her second child for the first 10weeks and was a complete wreck. Her doctor told her that this was quite normal (the spotting and the hysteria:)) but she didnt relax till it stopped. Then she believed all the stats about 25% of women experiencing spotting during a healthy pregnancy etc etc.
If you really are worried then muscle in earlier. You are pregnant so you are allowed to be unreasonable- in fact I think it is expected!
Soar....I am waiting for my appt on the 30th too!!! Ten days can't pass fast enough!!!!! This is the only pregnancy that I have not spotted or bled in...with all the losses and both boys, I saw my share of red!!! I hope that your appt is nice and calming....and that the time flies for us!!!
So I had my 1st appointment today and everything looked great:happy: Baby even measured one day ahead, at 8w1d and the heart rate was 169. So excited!
Awww that's so lovely to hear dreamsofxy.. I can't wait to hear baby's heart beat too my appointment is next Wednesday and its taking forever!!
Will you be going for an early ultrasound?? I get so nervous thinking about my scan too?
I don't know if this is normal but I'm experiencing cramping on left and right side with DD I only got it left side maybe it's my second pregnancy lol maybe I'm over thinking things!!
hi ladies, I still cant believe that Im finally posting here and joining u all.
i dont have any symptoms yet,apart from lower back ache and occassional af type cramp, I have craaaazy craaaay amount of creamy cm,tmi sorry,I think medically its called leukorreah,forming of the mucus plug.
with my dd I had loads of symptoms,with DS had absolutly no symptoms whatsoever, I hope this doesnt mean my symptomless pregnancy so far means its a little boy as well,lol, Im thrilled either way,but I know DD wont be,she wants a sister effective immediatly hahah
Im scared of this aswel. My butt feels bigger lol! My neighbour asked i was expecting.. I said ohh noo not that i know off. She said oh im so sorry its just i saw ur belly and thought u were pregnant. Urghhhh cant hide it. I want to wait until i am 12weeks to tell everyoneQuote:

That's great your appointment is coming up so soon...I know, it feels like it takes forever though! When is your due date again? Mine is December 30, but as I will be getting a C-section this time around so we are expecting baby to make an appearance a little sooner than that. Yes, cramping is completely normal! I had it with my daughter too and now again, only it is mostly on the right side with this one. My OB told me its just the ligaments stretching to support the growing uterus. Haha don't worry I think about my symptoms too all the time...sometimes I worry if I don't feel enough symptoms a certain day or something, but so far I have learned this pregnancy to be very unpredictable and symptoms do come and go.
Iloveladybugs-Yay I am glad we have a dr appt on the same day! We can count down the days together!!!!
Dreamsofxy-there is nothing as sweet as hearing that little heartbeat! Congrats on a healthy little one! :-)
No spotting today, yay but still having some serious ALL day long nausea! Although it makes me feel terrible it gives me a good sign that hormones are ragging because a baby is growing! :-)
Back from my scan....and I was blessed by the most amazing u/s tech! She showed me the screen and a little baby measuring right on target with a heartbeat!!! And to top it off....gave me a few pix!!!! I will try to get a picture of it later to post here.
Yay ladybugs that's awesome news!
