Our pregnancy announcement (warning - scan photo)

[Amanda86]

Hey everyone

I just wanted to upload a picture of our pregnancy announcement. Today we had our 12 week scan (I’m 12+4) and was measuring exactly this.

I know these things can be hard to look at/read sometimes and I didn’t know if I should put this picture up... I decided I would as I know it can help give so many ladies hope. Everyone has been so supportive throughout my journey and I want to say a massive thanks and hopefully show you that dreams can come true!

This was our 3rd round of IVF. Our first 2 resulted in chemical pregnancy and prior to this I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks from a natural pregnancy. By the time our 3rd round came I feel like I’d lost almost all hope, I didn’t believe that it would or could work and was so negative.

This is a picture of our pregnancy announcement, something I’ve imagined doing in my head for the last 4 years and never believed I would ever get the chance to do.

Please ladies stay strong and keep hope. I know it’s so hard, but miracles really can happen.

Love and kisses to all 😘💗 xxx

Thank you. Oh it’s such a nerve wracking time, I had 2 scans prior to this and was still very nervous today so can completely understand how you must be feeling. Wait until you see your little munchkin on the screen, it’s magical! Xxx

[emmab178]

So glad the scan showed everything was well. Enjoy the high helps when the anxiety starts creeping up on you x

[Amanda86 in reply to emmab178]

Thank you Emma. In my head I feel like I might relax a little after 20 week scan, although whether that will happen I don’t know 🤔 xxx

[emmab178 in reply to Amanda86]

I think anyone who has had a tough time in conceiving never fully relaxes. Definately gets better after the movements start and you get a bit more of a feeling that everything is ok in there.

[Amanda86 in reply to emmab178]

Can’t wait for that 🙂 xxx

[baby2016]
