It’s the lushest sound isn’t it

I'm 25 weeks, and only heard the heartbeat at a hospital check up last week when I was concerned about movements. They don't routinely check in midwife appointments in my area which I'm disappointed about

Babies are 6 days old today and I balled my eyes out this morning that my bump is gone and I can’t feel their kicks 🥲 cherish it ladies, it goes so quickly. Hope you all have happy and healthy pregnancies and take all the bump photos, as many as you can

How are you getting on? Kind of love that our baby bisons have the same birthday.

how long after your booking appointment did you hear about your scan? (had my first appointment today)

 

[Bumblebee2019]

@givemethegossx I was referred during my first appointment to the hospital and then I got a text/online letter about three days later. I think it depends on how your NHS trust do things!

We’re still in NICU so emotionally draining. We don’t live far from the hospital but in a busy city xmas week traffic is no one’s friend. But it’s just a feeding issue, he doesn’t know how to breathe suck and swallow in the correct format yet.
might try him with a cold coke

Hi all, new to this thread. Have just found out we are pregnant - very early days - 4 weeks so hoping for the best.

Ordinarily we wouldn’t tell family etc we are pregnant for a while but we are going home for Christmas. I love a drink, enjoy my soft cheese, smoked salmon, caffeinated (!) coffee and oysters - all of which will feature whilst we’re staying with my parents. If it was just the alcohol I could say antibiotics etc but not sure how I’ll explain the rest of it.

Has anyone had a similar experience? How was it/did you make an excuse?

Apologies if this has been asked already

Congrats. I had to tell my parents at 10 weeks for the same reason but in May. Honestly I’d just tell them but say it’s early still.

I’ve just felt a proper standout movement! it felt crazy I was just talking on the sofa to my partner and I felt like a proper fluttery kick it shut me up and shocked me I’ve been through this before with my first but just feeling how obvious the movement was made me well up. I’ve had an emotional day

I had a scan today and everything looked perfect. Saw babies heart beat ect. But now I’ve had this. Has anyone else? It’s so hard not to worry all the time

It doesn’t look fresh - a little brown?

I hope so. It’s so hard to know what’s okay


Thank you for putting it behind the spoiler, don’t know why it wouldn’t let me.

If you report it and ask mods they will do it for you

Was it a vaginal scan? It might have loosened some old blood?

Is it the same as the previous bleeding?

 

[Householdmystery]

Is it the same as the previous bleeding?

Yes the same as before and no it was abdominal

 

[littlepup]

Yes the same as before and no it was abdominal

Was it a private scan or arrange through the EPU? Did they not provide any explanation for the bleeding or advice?
I'd be inclined to think if it's the same as previously as you'd now been checked, the pregnancy is ok but if it was private I'd go to EPU and if it was EPU I'd be asking for another scan at 9 weeks and for them to provide some information/explanation.

It was private yes. Thank you I’m going to call the EPU again and see if they can check themselves

Just had my 16 week appointment, am 17 weeks exactly today, heard her heartbeat 🥹

I’m jel, they don’t listen in at 16 weeks in my area anymore was such a nice surprise the first time.
I’m also at 17 weeks, coming up 18. And I’m 99% sure I’ve had flutters a couple of nights this week
