.. October 2016 Mummies - First Trimester ..

[Jellybean34]

I'm hoping to tell my parents and my parents-in-law about our pregnancy next weekend (Mothers Day!) Since our booking in appointment has now been moved, I will not have had any doctor appointments by the time I am intending on telling them (although I will be almost ten weeks gone). I know that I am pregnant only by the stick I peed on six weeks ago and the size of my breasts! Do you think I should wait until after my scan to share with parents or would I know if there was something wrong by now?...

Unfortunately there are occasions when you wouldn't know if something is wrong and I've had the same worries but we had to tell our parents early as we had to move our wedding and needed to explain why. Only our parents and my sister know and my sister made the harsh but true point that things can happen at any point in pregnancy and you just have to plan for the positives. Tell them if it feels right and the support will help. There's no rules just do what you feel is best x

Sadly you just don't know. I had a mmc at 11+4 previously. Until you've had a scan, you can't be sure everything is developing properly.

That being said, if the worst did happen, you'd want your family for support. I think it's fine to tell them, always best to plan for the positives, as Jellybean said xx

Hey everyone, my names Natalie, I'm currently 8weeks and 2 days pregnant with my first baby, I'm due on the 8th October, and my scan is forever away on the 4th April!!

Looking forward to chatting with you all during our pregnancies! x

Welcome Natalie and congratulations on your bfp!

How annoying you have to wait so long for your scan! Lovely that it's on your anniversary though xxx

Welcome natalie and congratulations xx

I would tell parents asap support in any area of pregnancy is great due to the wave of emoations.

Xx

 

[Natnat274]

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I told my mum as soon as I got my bfp! Mostly because I was leaving for France again the next day and she would have been so upset if I had told her over the phone! It's been fab being able to ask her the many many questions I have! x

Hello Ladies.
I have been following this thread for a few weeks now. I got my BFP just over three weeks ago and my Estimated Due date is 12th Oct. I am cautiously writing this as i had a miscariage last August when i was 8 weeks and my previous pregnancy ended with a medical termination in January 2015 due to the baby's heart not developing properly. I was only 19 weeks when he was born. I hope this is third time lucky for me.

It is nice to meet you all xx

Hello charm_er!

Welcome to the group and congratulations! I hope this is 3rd time lucky for you.

Please can I have your first name for the group register and please keep us informed of any upcoming scan/MW appts.

I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy!!

xxxx

Lou - due date 26th �� Apologies. Posted in wrong thread & can't delete ��

Hi Lou and welcome

Did you mean to post in this thread? If you did let me know and I can add you to the reg.

xxxx

I'm anxious as I have no real symptoms. Didn't have any with my first and i feel that I can't be that lucky that I have no sickness with this one either. Only 4+6 so I know there's still time but still worried x

Hi hedgehog - please can I have your first name for the group register?

Thanks.

xxxx

Ooooh which venue Wilson? Is it local to Sheffield? Xx

Hi MillerMissus and welcome.

Please can I have your first name and due date so that I can add you to the group reg.

Also, please keep us informed of any upcoming scan/MW appts.

I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy!!

Can I join you October ladies? I'm due on the 14th. I haven't read all of this thread, but is anyone starting to show, I'm convinced I am, this is baby number three so I haven't got any stomach muscles left anyway!

Hi JoS and welcome to the group

Congratulations on baby number 3. I was super bloated for weeks but at 9 and a half weeks it has settled.

People tend to show earlier the more pregnancies.

Please keep us posted of any scan/MW appts. Also, Im guessing your a Joanne too?

I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy!

Hi Ladies, I used to be on the trying to conceive boards a while back before I started my first IVF cycle when I had a break from the forum. Thought it would be nice to be part of a pregnancy forum now and try make it feel a bit more real. My due date is the 28th Oct. I've had some spotting the past few weeks and not due a scan until the 23rd of March. Feel like I'm going out of my mind ! Not had any major symptoms, just some headaches and my boobs are starting to get a little sore but not as bad as they get around my period. I thought once I had my BFP I would rlax but this is worse than going through the treatment.

Hope everyone else is getting on well x

Hello and welcome to the group

Congratulations on your IVF baby. Pregnancy or TTC a pregnancy can sure take its toll. Its a constant worry and let me tell you, it doesnt stop, even when baby arrives.

I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy.

Plese keep us posted with your scan/MW appt, your scan due is tht a early scan yeah? Also Im guessing your first name is Megan? Just so I can add your name to the reg on page1.

Good luck.

I've got an early scan booked for today at 12:30. I'm terrified! Wish me luck ladies.

 

[MillersMissus]

Hi, I'd rather not be added to the list as yet if poss, just enjoy chatting with other October mummies to be. I've been very much involved in dates, scans etc with past pregnancies that haven't worked out and I can't bear to have to come back to ask for myself to be removed from the due date list again x

 

[russellmuscle]

Oh how exciting Nicole,

Good luck and I cant wait to see bub.

xxxx

 

[Wilson28]

Eeekkkk

Just got my 12wks scan and consultant appt through for the 7th April xx

 

[Billym]

I've had 3 previous miscarriages , I'm 5weeks 6 days now having a scan on Thursday .
But I've been having slight spotting of blood twice , nothing like when I had a miscarriage but is this normal??
I've also been having a quite a bit of brown dishcharge for 5 days , is this normal ??
I'm on cyclogest tablets to help with pregnancy do you recon it's the tablets that's causing this because of all the hormones ?
Would be very grateful if someone could give me some advice xx

Hi

I'm on Cyclogest due to IVF. I have been told they can cause spotting as they can irritate your cervix a little bit. xx

Good luck hun.

Im sure all will be fine. Keep us updated.

[Billym]

Thanks both for your reply , it's just been bugging me and really scared and worried .
Don't know what to expect from a normal pregnancy cause all previous ones have ended . xx

im really sorry but i havent got no experience with ivf, all i can say is relax and try to stay calm xx

 

[AngelLily]

Baby Anderson! everything was perfect however they found a sac of fluid which she says was likely a twin that hasn't survived it would of died very early about 4/5 weeks. But at least we have one healthy bubba!

Gutted though at the thought there was potential for non-identical twins, but never mind.

 

[Wilson28]

Aww congratulations how are you feeling xx

 

[D3bbie]

Congratulations on the scan!!

I nearly fell asleep so many times at work today. It's like exhaustion has hit ten fold. I told my manager today about being pregnant but she didn't seem particularly happy about it. Oh well. I hardly got anything done today as I was so sleepy and couldn't focus.
