Hi Ladies,
So yesterday I had a bit of bleeding and pain. Went to the medical centre (we are away in qatar atm) and they scanned seeing two sacs. One was larger than the other and had a heartbeat. The other no heartbeat. I have to go back on Thursday and complete rest until then. They also gave me progesterone to take.
I dont know what to say. It was shocking in a good way when they said they saw two but then sad when only one seems viable with a heartbeat. So now I'm just hoping to go the larger one stays put and waiting to see how and if I miscarry the other. It seems that way as om still bleeding.

Language barrier In the clinic didn't help really but they scanned me really quickly. I'm so sad and scared about what might happen now and I just want to be home

Can imagine that was a stressful situation to happen abroad. I'm in the same boat with two sacs and one viable heartbeat waiting to find out on Tues with my next scan if I've got one or two! I've light bleeding on and off and last night I was at a wedding and passed a fairly big (50p size) clot. I had to leave early as I just couldn't dance around with a load of drunk people with that on my mind!!

I've also read that spotting and bleeding is more common with twins?

Let's just take one day at a time and be thankful we've got one heartbeat. Hope you get the reassurance you need back at home X

You did well to go to the wedding at all! We are staying with friends so I am just keeping out of the way really. I dont feel that well as well as with the stress and worry of it all.
Bleeding is on and off, when I wipe and kind of mucous like but with bright red. Not clots yet but when I miscarried before that took a couple of days to start. I literally dont know what to think tbh

I'm goung to ring the epau back home tomorrow when they are open and see what they say, I just need a bit more info that I got yesterday.

I have everything crossed for you for Tuesday. How far along are you...?

 

[BabyMaker]

Welcome and congratulations Emma. Wow twins! eek! Twice the fun when are you due?

Radley, I'm so sorry you're going through this - and on your holiday too! Must be hard. Keeping everything crossed for you.
Lissa, good luck with your scan

So I've chatted with DH about an early scan and his opinion is he doesn't want to pay for something that is free 4 weeks later I totally understand where he's coming from but equally I want to see our little bean soon


I still had a Frer left so I used that this morning and seeing that the hcg line is stronger than the control line I feel much better today lol! Still, I've ordered a double pack of digis and will do one next week and one the week after


There might be a chance i'll get an early dating scan on the NHS but I'm guessing it's slim. I'm not 100% sure on my dates as I had the coil out, had a withdrawal bleed straight away, had 2 days of brown spotting a week later (only when I wiped) and i've had to assume that was my "AF" as i haven't had anything else.


How is everyone? Anyone had their 12wk scan date through yet?

[Marvellous_mum]

Not yet, got midwife tomorrow tho so will get the ball rolling.
Congratulations to the new arrivals.
Sorry to see some of You are bleeding, if it helps at all I bled everyday lightly from 5 weeks to 11 weeks with my daughter. Hoping your bleeding is nothing

Xx

I should be around 7 weeks now based on scan last week. Think I must have ovulated quite late my period was ages ago! Thanks am hoping it's good news. The stress does take its toll doesn't it I feel like it's been such a rollercoaster only a few weeks in! Hope you get a bit more advice from epau. Safe travels!

Thanks Marvellous that does make me feel a bit better about the bleeding ☺️

 

[Linnett3]

Wow to the twin pregnancies ! I think twins is actually quite common now. I’d love twins ! Hope everything turns out ok, whether it ends up being one or 2! Fingers crossed for you both!

I’ve got midwife app Thursday when I’ll be 9+2 so hoping my scan will be booked in next few weeks

Biggest symptoms at the min is the hunger & my boobs are still so sore & getting larger by the day! I actually need to go & get measured as I was a 34F to start with & all my bras are so tight & uncomfortable now! Think I’ll be getting nursing bras for comfort !

 

[Stacey89]

[Emmacharlotte]

Thank you for the warm welcome.
I am sorry to hear some of you are going through some unsettling and anxious times. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome for all of us!
My next scan is Friday and seems ages away!!

Sorry to hear some of you are having issues. Hope the bleeding is nothing and you get some much needed good news soon. Thinking of you!

I got both my booking appointment and 12 wks scan dates in the post yesterday. Suddenly makes it seem more real, though I still don't feel pregnant! lol Booking appt is on the 11th December at 8 wks and the scan will be on the 7th of Jan at exactly 12 wks. I think I might book an early scan though, just for peace of mind as I'd like to announce the good news to my family at Christmas

This is what I’m doing. We have a clinic appointment for a early scsnat 7.5 weeks so going to tell parents then (it’s too hard not to slip up) nd then private scan at 9 weeks the week before Christmas to announce in Christmas cards for other family.

 

[Marvellous_mum]

Got my booking in appointment today. I'm dreading it as I'm still not well. Gotta take my husband just to supervise me as Iv not slept much so head feels fuzzy.
I might just sleep and let him answer all the questions lol it's 50% his fault after all

 

[EllieH]

Sorry for cutting in but Congratulations babymaker so happy for you!!

Congratulations everyone else too xx

 

[Emmacharlotte]

Hiya.
Im not sure when I am due as they didnt date them by size at my last scan as they didnt know if they were viable. My last period was 30th september but I ovulate cd17 normally.
This is a twin pregnancy from an unmonitored clomid cycle!! I moved counties between having my son and now, and it was done totally different here.

I hope everyone is ok, and those going through anxious times are ok and trying to stay positive.
E xx

Hi everyone, so sorry to hear that some of you are having an anxious time and sending you all the positivity.

I found out a few weeks ago that I was pregnant which was a complete surprise as we weren’t trying ��

I’m having some confusion with dates though so was wondering if anyone could shed some light or has any opinion!

I stopped taking the pill after my last period which started 28th August and finished 30th August. After that we used condoms as I fancied a break from taking hormonal contraception for 6 years!
I kept taking regular pregnancy tests until September 26th just to keep an eye on things because I was feeling ropey from coming off the pill. All negative.

I had some spotting/light bleeding on September 30th (around when my next period was due) but it didn’t amount to much and certainly wasn’t a period.

Then late October I was feeling awful (what I now know was morning sickness and pregnancy symptoms!) so my Mum suggested after a few weeks that I took a test before going to the doctors and low and behold on 10th November I had a very dark positive and 3+ weeks on a clear blue digital.

So I’ve tried using due date calculators but I don’t know whether to register 30th August or 30th September as my last period! It leaves me with a 3/4 week window and not knowing if I’m currently 8 or 12 weeks pregnant!


So sorry for the ramble but any insight on this would be amazing! Thank you in advance and congratulations to everyone with BFP! ��

Hope the scan Goes well today Lisa86 x

 

[Marvellous_mum]

Good luck today lissa xxx

I had my booking in appointment. Mainly great appointment. She's a lovely mw, really listened and seemed fun aswell as me and OH are quite a sarcastic couple lol. She was very thorough.

Down side she had no choice but to out me under a consultant, hel decide where u give birth, which won't be the place I want. Im hoping I can work on him and hel realise I dont need to be in hospital and can use the birth centre.
Should have my scan date through soon.

Hello Ladies,

Congratulations to you all.

I am currently 9 weeks pregnant. This is my second pregnancy after and early miscarriage in September. I really can not wait for my 12 week scan on the 21st December. I've already had a scan this time around due to a bit of bleeding but everything was fine and measured at 5wk +3. There was no heart beat due to it been so early so I'm really hoping everything is ok at the next scan. I've been given an estimated due day of the 1st July but they said they will be able to see if this is more accurate at the next scan.

I'm really struggling with my energy levels the last 2 weeks. I have no get up and go. I've also experienced sickness this week for the first time. Not everyday it's hit and miss. At the moment I am really really indecisive with food and never know what I want to eat. I have a craving for ice lollies and crunchy cold food. I'm taking my pregnancy vitamins and keeping them down I just wondered if anyone had any tips on how to keep my energy levels up.

Thanks in advance.

Congratulations everyone else too xx

Hi Ellie, thank you so much! Wow cant believe you're almost 23 weeks! Seems like yesterday we were in WTT section together. Hope all is well with you and bubba?



Stacey, apparently a symptom free pregnancy can be normal. Not everyone gets them. Do you have an early scan booked? I'm sure I saw someone on the Nov birthing thread say they had zero symtpoms throughout the whole pregnancy and gave birth recently to a healthy baby.



Katie, welcome and congrats! sorry to hear you have some date confusion. Are you booked in with the GP/MW? They'll most likely send you for a scan to confirm.


Good luck Lissa!


Hi Aebx! I can't offer any advice on energy levels but just wanted to say welcome and congrats


Took a Digi this morning and got 3+. I'm 5 weeks today (I think...) so expected a 2-3. Not complaining but wondering if i'm further along than i thought. Or its twins??

 

[Hannah1990]

Hi Ladies

Congratulations everyone on your pregnancies! I'm a July Mummy too, due the 18th...just coming up to 7 weeks in a few days.

My last pregnancy ended in a loss at 9 weeks (although it was very different to this one symptom wise) so I'm terrified! The first weeks of pregnancy are so nerve wracking xx

 

[Linnett3]

Hi ladies! Just sat outside kids school in the car waiting for them to finish ! Pouring down here!

Welcomes newbies! Love coming on here to see new mums!

Glad appointment went went marvellouse Mum ! Mines on Thursday.ooking forward to it, mainly just because it’ll bring me closer to the scan.

Aebx, our dates are the same currently but no doubt they’ll change slightly on the scan. Well from my experience mine have always altered by a couple days. Also as for the energy the only thing I can say is drink lots of water. Although a little hypocritical as I’m really struggling to drink water at the min. I was drinking loads up until last week time where now I just find it harder to drink. No idea why! My energy was terrible from week 3-8 but this week I seem to be feeling ok again. Not napping in the day anymore lol.

Anyway better get kids before I’m late haha!
