Im having a bit of a wobble. We did 4 failed IVF, then fell pregnant naturally 2 times, both ending really early before 6 weeks.

Ill be 43 in October and...Im 6+1

My scan isn't till the 19th when I'll be 8+1

Checked hcg 3 times and doubled well....but Im having a wobble, aside from tired and bloated , I. not nauseated yet. With my 1st I got sick at 6+5

Im reading Google..... evil evil evil

Just needing support and positive thoughts.

Step away from the Google!!

I can understand you're anxious, how could you not be? Sending you a huge load of positivity, hope everything is fine when your scan finally comes round and hope these 2 weeks don't drag too much!! xxx

Stay away from Google! Plus symtpms tend to increase by 7-10 weeks so don't be worried. Enjoy every minute of if and congratulations!!

Yes 6 rounds of IVF, 1st pregnancy and currently 32 weeks pregnant at 41 years old nearly 42.

Its easy to say as I've had it said to me countless times but try to enjoy your pregnancy.

I spent the first 20 0dd weeks petrified something was going to happen and only now really starting to spread my news outside immediate family.

Take each scan, midwife appointment as a positive step forward to the end result.

Good luck xx
