Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! 2

Hi ladies. Congrats Laura! I think you're 12 weeks already so that'll be nice not having the dreaded first 12 weeks where we spend the whole time worrying. Look forward to hearing how you got on.

Gem I'm sorry he didn't get that job but something will turn up really soon I'm sure. Your DH sounds like a good hard working man so I'm pretty sure he'll look after you. Big ((hugs)) for now though.

I hope everyone else is doing well. No news to report from my camp x

hi all, got my scan appointment through for the 14th march, cant wait. been down the epau best part of the day and ended up with anti sickness tablets so i can at least keep my thyroid medecine down now. hopefully go back to work too but it says can make you drowsy so will see.

sorry to hear gembaxter. has your husband tried doing agency work for a bit or casual caretaking or driving through the council, this is what my hubby does and gets quite regular work

Hi ladies

Gem - sorry you're OH didn't get the job. I'm a big believer in things happening for a reason though so hopefully something better will show up soon. <<<HUGS>>>tho

Hi to all our newbies :wave:

Well I had my scan this morning and we have a baby:j. The dates were fairly accurate to what I thought and I am back to 19th August (which is what I first thought). Baby was wriggling and rolling loads so the picture isn't the best but its good enough for us. I'm not posting it though as I'm a real technophobe
I started crying when I saw the screen and OH was like a small boy - all wide eyed and amazed at what he was seeing. It was all so good.

I know there are some more scans this week so good luck for them

I was thinking about how far gone I actually am. I had my last bleed 4th Jan but it only lasted 2 days of full flow whereas I normally have 5 days. To work out how far gone, I was used that date on online calculators and it says that tomorrow I am 5 weeks.

But.... my bleed before that was 16th Dec. The reason I am confused is because my past 5 periods were around 33 days apart, then this 2 day Jan one was 19 days after the previous one. Could that have been an implantation bleed and I'm actually 7 weeks gone?

What do I tell the docs as I don't want to end up with a late scan if it's based on 5 weeks gone not 7.

I'm in the same situation! I am counting my last period as 4th Jan, but that was only spotting for 1 day and light bleeding for 2 days. I normally bleed for 5 days too. Before that, my last "proper" period was 18th December. My cycles are normally 28-29 days so that was a very short cycle by my standards. I am also going to mention it to my GP when I see him on 21st. Will be very pleased if I am further along Let me know what your GP says xxx

portsmouthali, I had my first Docs appt yesterday. He said that my short Jan bleed could have been a implantation bleed but there was no way to know if I was 5 or 7 weeks pregnant right now. I would only really know how far gone I am when I have the dating scan. The surgery are going to get in touch with a MW and tell her I'm 7 weeks gone so that she can get the appointment in soonish, in case I am 7 and not 5 weeks.
OH and I am convinced it was just an early period.

I'm having lots of cramping today which I know is all normal but it's still a bit unnerving.

Morning, feeling slightly calmer today. GP was lovely even though I felt like a teenager that wasn't sure who the father was

She worked out im about 12weeks but she couldn't feel the top of the womb so doesn't think im quite 12weeks. I have to go back next Monday then i'll be sent my scan date.

Yesterday I really wasn't sure what I was going to do but we are keeping it cant even begin to write down all the questions I have.

Morning all, have had myself in a right panic all night. Woke up about 2am with cramping, was convinced I was going to lose baby. Kept going to the toilet expecting to be bleeding but nothing. Got myself all worked up to the point where OH rang NHS direct - said it just sounds like everything is moving and stretching and as long as there is no bleeding or discharge everything sounds ok.

I think it was just a combination of hormones being all over the place and tiredness that made me get so worked up about it

Day off work today so just having a chill out day.

Hope everyone else is ok today!

Morning ladies and bumps. I had my first lie in today for about 3 weeks as am on a late at work today. Not having many symptoms still and i think i'm 10+1 today. Got my scan in a couple of weeks. We told our parents last weekend as it was my mum's birthday and this will be her first grandchild so i couldn't face not telling her on her birthday! She was so excited. We then had to tell hubbies parents who responded with (dad) that's brill kids and (mum) ooohhh i get to buy things...that is honestly the first thing she said! I love my family so mucha nd can't wait to be a mummy!

Right now on the nasty stuff...anyone else bunged up, and not teh nose i mean! I reckon it's the supplements for the folic acid but no matter how much fruit and veg i eat nothing is moving down there! Starting to feel really bloated! Any suggestions? Is it normal?
