Pregnancy #54

[LavaFlake]

After a 16 hour active long labour I’m delighted Baby Lava has safely arrived into this world! Bit of a long day and so sore down there but so worth it. He was five days early and weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces We’re so in love already.

Hi everyone. Just joining in this thread! I’m only 5 weeks 4 days so very early days. First pregnancy and been trying 2 years. I’m an absolute anxious wreck!

Thank you so so much everyone, scan went as well as it could have, baby is doing just fine, I saw the little heart fluttering away and I cried. Think I've felt every emotion under the sun today but right now I'm full of immense gratitude. Baby is also measuring two days further along than I'd thought. I'm a very happy girl right now and I'll be obsessing over these grainy little scan pics for days to come x

Scan done, everything is okay saw baby wriggling away, I am so so glad I did that. The relief and happiness I feel right now is like nothing else.

Finished work today - put my OOO on until early 2025!!

All being well, in 3 weeks time I will be holding my new bubs. So excited to find out the gender, feels like the best suprise in the world

Hey everyone, hope you’re all okay I took a break from the thread this week as my anxiety has been absolutely agonising and I couldn’t stop thinking bad thoughts but had another scan this morning at a new private clinic that’s opened near me and baby was wiggling away, still measuring ahead and they gave me so much reassurance, the haematoma is practically gone already, it was amazing

 

[Lucyxxxx]

I really hope it all goes amazingly for you x

Baby Is perfect. She said my placenta is starting to form to the back of my womb so explains symptoms going. Now measuring 9+4 so turn 12 weeks on my birthday. Gonna try get scan for my birthday if I can (my nhs one) so relieved.

So after the worst week ever full of anxiety and fear from getting my result of 1/24 risk of Down syndrome I got my results back today and they came back low risk for everything! Feel like I can breathe for the first time in a week!

Had my 36 week growth scan this morning and they've confirmed baby has turned back head down. Massive relief

Had our 20 week scan today and saw our two little babes 🥹 I feel like now we’ve reached this milestone I can allow myself to start getting excited. We haven’t bought ANYTHING yet!

In the middle of the night my toddler got in our bed because he was upset and he brought his massive George pig teddy bear. I woke up a couple hours later for a wee thinking I was cuddling my son, I felt proper comfy and my bump nice and supported, I was actually cuddling George pig. Who needs a pregnancy pillow when you’ve got George

Just had the call re my NIPT and it’s low probability. Just had the best cry with relief.. keeping fingers crossed for all of you waiting for results Xcode

Jumping on this thread please! Finally pregnant from my first round of IVF after over 4 years of infertility. It all seems like a dream! I’m 13 days past my transfer and I’ve been having period type pains (not enough to warrant painkillers, just that dull achy/crampy/heavy feeling you get the day before). My anxiety is in overdrive but my tests are still suuuuuuper dark so I’m just reminding myself it’s normal

 

[Brewtime87]

Now I've accepted I've still got 2.5 weeks to wait for this scan, I've realised it'll be Mothers day weekend so feels like the perfect opportunity and excuse to see and tell our families

 

[Jasminexx02]

Had private scan today, was nice to see baby again, measuring a few days ahead now which is nice. I’m really worried about the haematoma to be honest but still haven’t experienced any spotting or bleeding, just hope it stays that way and trying to just stay calm and focus on the fact that baby is growing lovely with a heartbeat and that’s the main thing

 

[Bumblebee2019]

Had my 20 week scan this morning. We’re having a baby boy we’re sooo happy! I found the scan quite intense, my sonographer was really quiet while scanning which obviously sent my mind wild but all was well!

6 weeks today time is slowly crawling towards our first scan next week. I can’t wait for it but also dreading it as last time we had a scan was when we discovered my MMC. I keep reminding myself that that was a separate scenario and that could happen to anyone at any scan so I just need to be brave

 

[Greencatfysh]

Tentatively joining this thread, I’m almost 5 weeks so super early and had a MMC and chem pregnancy last year so holding onto hope that this is our baby 🩷🩵 mostly came on here to rant, I got invited to a hen do last year that I said yes to, and it’s only 4 weeks away and they’ve finally sent details and costs. It’s two nights away in a house with total strangers (I only know the hen through my husband) and cocktail making etc. I’ve made my excuses as who know how I’ll be feeling by that point and if there’s something wrong I want to be near home. Just so awkward having to lie and piss people off, I would be open if it was close friends but it’s not. I guess I’ll just have to deal with the guilt of dropping out and hope they understand later on!!

Got called for a scan in the EPU today, bubs was having a rave on screen. All is great, midwives were happy for me not to have to go back.
