I was wondering whether to start it or not but have been paying visits to the EPU so was going to hold off - but here we go!
I'm due on the 4th or 6th July i think - fingers crossed!
Slow heart beat at the moment so need to be rescanned in 2 weeks and hopefully it'll have increased
xxxx
Marparuk, what is an EPU? Sorry, excuse my ignorance. Fingers crossed your little bundle is OK. x
honeybee1981 - Mel - 22nd - Yes - Also will be too impatient not to find out!
Also forgot to do this bit:
marparuk - Marie - 4th-6th - Yes - won't ask!
Chick-Bass/Lou/5th July/2nd (first ended in mc
Hope you're all doing well. I'm very early days (somewhere between 5-7 weeks)
Flossy17 - Hannah - sometime between 11th -24th July - yes - prob will find out sex
Here's to healthy pregnancies for us all
NowMrsR - Liz - 2nd July - 2nd (my 1st also ended in miscarriage) - not going to find out (looks like i'm the odd one out!
Hope we all have happy and healthy pregnancies x x
Oh, and after dating scan we figured out that I conceived on my hubby's 30th birthday - told him its a late pressie as never bought him anything!!!
I have edited the first post with all our details so far, and hopefully we will keep adding to it
I've put us in Due Date order, and as and when we have more accurate dates, again, i will amend
Hope everyone is feeling well?
Are any of you ladies struggling with eating?
Im really quite hungry at this very moment, but can not bare the thought of eating anything (is making me queezy)
Ive been trying to make myself eat small bits and pieces (even if its just been crisps!) but am a little worried that im not getting enough calories
Kate x
Feeling a bit crampy/tender around the abdomen area. Hope this is normal
I started off feeling better if i ate, but work is quite hectic at the mo (they've just moved me to a more 'suitable' department - which is in great need of a Katie style tidy up and sorting out!!!) which means i am getting a little side tracked and am getting quite hungry, and then food becomes a great turn off - and i stay feeling like that for the rest of the night (although, TUC's have become my best friend LoL)
- I envy you all for just being able to eat, I love scoffing my face normally! lol
I had to tell work as soon as i found out i was pregnant for H&S reasons (hence to department change) so lots of people know already for us!
I was originally gonna wait to tell family, but as my dad is dating someone i work with, i kind of had to tell him, which meant we also had to tell the mother and the inlaws (and brother in law!) and then ended up telling the family we see regularly, just in case someone from work put something on FB and ruined the surprise! So only got friends to go now! LoL
How many/who have the rest of you told? xxx
My parents are going away this week and won't be back until around our scan date so should be easy enough to keep it quiet until then!
Ive made quite a list for girls names, but am really struggling with boys names.
Since my brother passed away many many moons ago, I just always planned on calling my lil boy Mike after him, however, since we actually stated TTC and falling pregnant Ive had a complete change of heart, because I want our bubba to have its own identity and not feel like its having to fill anyone elses shoes...and i also dont want it to feel like we tried to replace my brother ... if that makes sense?
Still, theres plenty of time left to try and convince hubby into a name I like...might start mentioning them during conversation so he gets so used to them that he starts liking them

How many weeks were you when you got your BFP? And did anyone get a BFN before getting there BFP?
I ask because I am now a week late, have had some signs that could point to being pregnant I've done 4 tests and every one has come up BFN...this weekend I would be 4-5 weeks I think.
Thanks in advance.
I got my BFP using cheapy tests, then did a clear blue digital last week which said 2-3 weeks since conception so 4-5 weeks in doctors terms. Maybe you should try one of those as if you think you're 4-5 weeks then it should come up 2-3. Asda have a twin pack for £9.50 I think.
Good luck x
I just found out on Sunday and am soooo excited!!!
I havent had a doctors appointment yet as I have to wait for my doctor to get back from his holiday! (stupid!! I would see anyone but they wont let me!!) So have to wait till 5th dec!!
I have used the nhs site to work out when i'm due, and im 5weeks gone!
my main symptoms is really sore boobs, which is awful as i'm already GG's!!! and the tiredness! I get the odd bit of sicky feeling, but not too bad at the momment.
Names we are liking
Gracie-Mae
Lilly-Rose
Eli
Harrison
JustTheWayYouAre - Jo - 26th - Ist - Can't wait to find out!!
i got a BFN but a BFP after i'd had the implantation bleeds. I don't think the HCG hormone is released until after implantation so i tested too early - i'm impatient!!
hope everyone is doing ok
How is everyone doing this weekend?
I'm still a little nauseous throughout the day and ravenously hungry!! Still got the sore boobs too so seeing that as a good sign! Still a little crampy from time to time, especially when I have been on my feet for a while but I'm not too worried about that yet.
This time next week I will have hopefully had my scan and will be sharing good news xxx
Hope you are all doing OK.
I'm not too bad - just REALLY tired and struggling to eat too much. Went out for a meal with some friends last night and was full after the starter - ended up bringing the main course home. Have waves of sickness now and again but nothing too bad. And my boobs are AGONY. They are so sore its untrue. Once we've had our scan I'm going to be straight into town and buying some maternity bra's!!
Only 1 week 6 days until our first proper scan at the hospital. I can't wait to know things are OK so we can tell our family's xxx
Chick bass/ NowMrsR - Just wondering how many weeks will you be when you're having your scans? Also are they private scans?
As for me, still not got many symptoms, very tired, emotional and very slighty nauseous but nothing major and quickly passes. Wishing my life away at the moment - like you all I just want to be at 12 weeks and for everything to be OK.
When I got to the hospital for my '12 week scan' I will only actually be 10 weeks and 5 days. Midwife says its not a problem though. Was early as had no period after miscarriage so couldn't figure out how far gone I was - midwife had over estimated me at booking appointment as 8 1/2 weeks but was only 6 1/2 weeks
Sorry to hear about your previous mc, I'm sure all will be fine this time around for you both.
I was got faint positives with the cheapie tests from about a day before i was due on and a positive on a Tesco own brand test with a 2-3weeks on a clearblue digital a day/two days after I was due - keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx
I'm terrified, please keep your fingers crossed for me xxx
