    We came home from our scan bouncing on the 21st with the scan showing a tiny bean inside the sac, although it was still measuring a couple of weeks behind where it should have been. We got an appointment to go back on March 4th where we were expecting to see the heartbeat. Unfortunately, everything has gone wrong since and this morning there was a miscarriage - so it's been a sad day for us.

    But thank you so much for your kind thoughts.


    Hugs to ye both

    Laois Man thats terrible thinking of you both xx

    Julias jewel I felt great after Zumba it was the best I had felt all week feeling queasy a lot of the time now. The only relief I get from it is when I'm actually eating even though its the last thing I want to do. I weighed myself yesterday and I haven't gained any weight. I know I'm only just over 7 weeks but is that normal? Was expecting to be up a pound or two!

    Hey folks,

    first-time post under this username (I'm a boardsie but created a new account for this thread!) Found out I'm pregnant on Saturday evening - went to the doctors today to have it confirmed etc. It's my first - I'm 37, and have been TTC for about 13 years so I'm really, really excited!! I'm DYING to tell someone but will be keeping it to myself for quite a while yet. I'm due around the 30th October :)

    Congrats reverse-pumpkin! Can't wait to find out who you are in a couple of months! :)


    I'm suffering badly with nausea since yesterday morning. I haven't been great for the past three weeks but this week takes the biscuit. I'm useless at work and at home. My poor husband is on constant nappy duty with our youngfella.

    I really hope this wears off soon. It started to ease at 10 weeks last go, so that's around a week and a half away.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Lol, I chose nikpmup because of the Halloween-ish due date - lil' pumpkin!

    I haven't had any morning sickness , in fact, I've been ravenous! Could eat a horse, 24/7! However, my boyfriend just leaned in to give me a kiss, he'd just had a coffee, and I did feel a bit of a heave - he smelled like a coffee factory. I LOVE my coffee, I haven't had any since I found out I was pregnant and was really missing it but I wonder will I develop an aversion to it now?!

    Das Kitty, I'm not a hugely regular boards poster, but I do know a few people on here IRL so I can't be revealing myself just yet :)

    My morning sickness only kicked in at 7 weeks, so there's time yet!

    I had a huge aversion to tea and coffee last time. It's not so pronounced this time and I can have it sometimes. My aversion to people is back though. Can't let anyone near me!

    Eating for Ireland continues today... I hope this doesn't carry on the whole time, I'll be a whale! Boobs are extremely sore and sensitive - I've had to go and buy wire-free bras today in a bigger cup size (just a couple of cheap ones to see me through for a while) and I've also bought a couple of vest tops with hidden support shelves in them to wear to bed as my poor ol' knockers are killing me when they're loose in bed! Himself is delighted with their sudden enlargement!

    Have a private scan booked for tonight as hosp apt not till April now.
    I reckon im 8.5weeks but finding it hard to take in (no 3) so maybe the scan will help.

    We had to cancel a big Florida holiday due to our special news so my partner has booked us flight to Portugal for a week in May...last holiday as a family of 4

    Hi guys,
    Joining the October thread, albeit a bit nervously! Due end of October so I am currently 5 weeks. This is an IVF baby so the emotions are all over the place. Excited but so nervous as we have had a miscarrige before.

    This pregnancy seems much stronger though, hcg at 4 weeks was 452 and at 4+6 was 4152, so its doubling every 48 hours as it should we.

    We have the 6 week scan next week so fingers crossed it all goes ok!

    So far I feel great, a bit of constipation and stretching pains but physically fine. Emotionally is a totally different story though!

    Oh terribly sorry to hear laoismans update.
    Hoping you find yoyrselves back on these threads soon x

    Had the scan tonight and am measuring between 8+5 & 9 weeks. Amazing to see a real strong heartbeat and bean was active moving about.
    Glad i didnt stress too much about lack of symptoms. I dont feel pregnant but the proof was on screen.

    Collegeme, that must have been amazing! I'm hoping to get an early scan, my GP gave me a letter to have an early appointment, so fingers crossed.

    Chicita, I did ivf several years ago - congrats on your positive outcome! It's not an easy route.

    I'm starting to wonder how long I'm going to be able to keep it to myself in work - I do quite a physical job, with lots of lifting etc and working with sometimes aggressive patients and I've been risk assessed to avoid all that, which is fine with my boss, but in the last couple of days I've been getting requests to do stuff from other staff which I'm just not comfortable doing and I'm going to run out of excuses soon!! If I tell them I'm pregnant they'll absolutely be fine with me avoiding risk factors, but it's really early days yet. Hmmm.

    Could you say that you pulled something in your back and have to take it easy for a couple of weeks until you want to tell them?

    9 weeks tomorrow.

    It's passing a lot quicker this time. :eek:

    I suppose the only thing I really want to get that I didn't have for my first is a co-sleeper cot. I don't have the utter confusion of trying to pick a buggy to contend with!

    Yeah, I'm going to have to try something along those lines. I reckon the gossip mill will be in overdrive anyway, because I've been pulled off nights and I've been moved out of the high-risk area, which I normally work in. Sure, if I'm outed, I'm outed, nothing I can do about it. Bigger picture : staying safe and having a healthy pregnancy.

    I got a letter for my early appointment today, it's in two weeks. I was also on to the foetal assessment unit about an early scan, I'll be given one between 8-10 weeks if the doc thinks its necessary, but otherwise I'll have a mini-scan at my first appointment. My partner is giddy with excitement - I showed him a YouTube video of a scan and he was like a child waiting for Christmas. I can't wait - 40 weeks is going to feel very long!!

    Welcome Elmo!

    I'm still constantly hungry, but this evening I can feel a metallic tang to the back of my mouth..... Also, getting into almighty cranky humours for no good reason!!! If this continues I can see me and my long-suffering Boyf having major hissy fits haha! No sickness yet... fingers crossed it doesn't make up for it in the next few weeks!
