So as some of you guys know I had an eventful weekend after I had a gush of blood came out on Saturday. A call to 111 and a visit to a&e left me none the wiser as to the outcome of the bleed...which left me a little anxious to say the least at 9wks pregnant...
So the good news is we went for a private scan this morning and everything is great!
Our little bean has doubled in size in the last 10 days. The heartbeat is perfect and we got to watch him/her wriggling away...waving at us! Almost like he/she was saying "don't worry, I'm ok!!" Its so cool knowing exactly where our bambino is in my belly! They have no idea where the blood came from but they said it doesn't look like it came from anywhere near baby...and that's good enough for me 😁
These couple of days have been so hard but all worth it just for our little view this morning. I managed to hold it together all weekend but must admit I'm a little emosh now...I'm actually getting attached to our little bean head (something I've been trying not to do!)
It just goes to show...you ain't out til your out!!
Thanks for all your support everyone...I don't know what I'd do without you xxx

Thanks! Aw didnt mean to make you cry! I'll deffo be having a couple more private scans...definitely a gender one at 16wks and then a 4d one later on...my new guilty pleasure lol!
MASSIVE relief, so pleased and happy for you. Aren't you over 9 weeks now? They say if a strong heartbeat is detected at this stage, you have very very high odds of a live birth. 8 weeks I believe is the critical point, and you are over that. xxx
Yes 9wks 2 days now. Had my 1st scan at 7wks 3 days...so I immediately thought something had gone wrong at 8wks as I know that's a critical time for striking out with a chromosome defect...most of my symptoms have certainly got less too so I really thought I must be out!
I'm so so pleased to hear this! I had a feeling it was all going to be fine but have been checking on here waiting for your update. I can imagine how I would feel if I was in your shoes and so have been really worrying about you. It is so hard not to get attached, isn't it? I had a scan at 9 weeks privately and also saw the little arms and legs waiving. Promised myself that I wouldn't get too attached until I was through the first trimester but I'm failing dismally at that! X
We were planning on having a private scan next week (as I have the week off)...so we just had it a week early instead. Already can't wait til my next one in around 3wks!! I know you have to limit them (I heard too many may not be good for baby) but it's hard isn't it?!...its amazing how much they change in a shot period of time 😀 xxx
Yep I'm not too bad, just coming to terms with the decision to wait a few months, I'm so impatient!! But Benny the fur baby came to live with us today so that's great! Xxx
Thank you! I felt a little bit guilty posting happy news as I know it's not always easy to hear...but at the same time I wanted to let people know you can bleed and be ok...in fact it's very common! xxx
Aww not at all.... I love hearing th positive news on here. I have just started treatment and so it's posts like this that give me hope.... I think knowing the struggle people have been through with IVF it's nothing but feeling joy for them ..... don't ever feel bad! Enjoy your special moment xxx
So happy for you I know how worrying bleeding can be xx
It's like the bottom drops out of your world in a second and no one or nothing can help...its sheer panic isn't it? I really surprised myself how strong I was...I was falling apart inside but wanted to keep it together for my dh who is much more sensitive than me...if he saw me lose it god knows what he'd be like...and I knew we couldn't do anything for 2 days so just had to get on with it and be as normal as poss! xxx
Definitely!! I've waited so long for this...I'm not going to create a wait for news if I don't need to lol! 16wks I'll be banging on the door of the clinic for a private gender scan! How about you? xx
Lol but we wouldn't swap it for the world would we?! xxx
Sorry to hear about your traumatic weekend but super pleased to read that everything is good with bubs. Must have been such a relief to hear their heartbeat. Hope all continues to go well xx
Good thank you! 23 weeks and counting and we've found out we're having a girl it's starting to whizz by now! You'll be at this stage before you know it! Xxx
I'm just plodding on...not getting any bigger really and only getting my sickness on and off in day and most evenings but it's not getting any worse! It's so hard not knowing if anything is happening in there! I'm so so pleased for you though. Been keeping my eyes peeled!! X
My symptoms are really mild at the mo too but as we both know, they can change in an instant! I'm getting used to making the most of the good days now...feeling exceptionally lucky! 🍀🍀🍀
Awww hun that's nice of you to ask. I'm struggling with real bad migraines these bad two days. I'm sure iv got hormone problems. You just rest up and keep us up dated real happy for you x
Have you tried acupuncture? I've been going once a week for a year and there's been a few times I've been in complaining of hormonal headaches and he sorted them straight away...might be worth a look! xxx
Nope you can't feel them..its not anything like a blood test or vacination....I also used to have a massive phobia of needles but I suppose I have ivf to thank for getting me over that! Most acupuncturists will do a trial run so you can see what you think. It probably isn't for everyone but when you said about headaches I had to mention it as he's fixed mine 2-3 times where conventional medicine didn't work xxx
I'll have a look into it. They always come and go and when they come they come for days they make me miserable. Thanks I'll defo have a look into it. Xx
I'm ok thanks - trying to keep myself busy. Got first midwife appointment on Friday & just hoping it won't be too long until my 12 week scan....just keeping everything crossed that everything is still ok xx
