First scan this morning, really scared! *Update and scan picture (hope that's OK)*

[elle80]

So I have made it to 7 weeks 1 day and this last week I have been feeling more and more anxious as the days go by...

What if there is nothing there, or there's no heartbeat? I haven't had any morning sickness, my boobs hurt less, I just don't know what is normal and I'm going slightly crazy 🤪

Please keep your fingers, toes and legs crossed for me!! 💙 Xx

Update: So there actually IS a baby in there, saw the heartbeat pounding away... So weird! And it is measuring at 7w2days, so bigger but that's probably because we're both quite tall.. I'm gonna have a massive baby lol. I have been discharged from the clinic too and have my first midwife appointment next weds! 💙

Thank you everyone for being so kind and I wish you all the best.. 😘

[Lynn31181]

I’m fine thank you. I am good at bouncing back I’ve had lots of practice! 😆 xoxo will be thinking of you today and truly hope all is well ☺️ xoxo

[elle80 in reply to Hidden]

Sending you big hugs 🤗 xx

[Hidden in reply to elle80]

Thank you 😊 xoxo

[Hidden]

Good luck Michelle, i’m a couple of weeks ahead and know exactly how you feel!! You will be absolutely fine. I had no nausea until 8.5 weeks and my off and on boobs stopped hurting at all at exactly 7 weeks and I was terrified but all was good. Thinking of you and looking forward to an update v soon 🙏🏼😘xxx

[elle80 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Natalia, it's reassuring to hear! I'm sooooo scared!!! Xx

[Hidden]

Good luck lovely! Xx

[elle80 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Jo Jo. Xxx

[Ekjones86]

Good luck hun do let us know how you get on. Will be thinking of you 🤗 xxx

[elle80 in reply to Ekjones86]

Thank you hun, will do. Just sat here waiting now. Eeek xx

[abcgirl]

Good luck - can’t wait to hear how you do. I’m 2 weeks behind you. My scan can’t come soon enough especially after the bit of bleeding I had yesterday 😩 Hope all goes well with you 🤞🤞🤞

[elle80 in reply to abcgirl]

Thank you! I hope you're OK? Xxx

[abcgirl in reply to elle80]

I am - no bleeding at the moment - just brown spots. I hate that I can’t get excited about this. The waiting is torture and not knowing what is going on is even worse

[elle80 in reply to abcgirl]

Yeh I totally agree, we think the first two weeks are the hardest but in actual fact, it doesn't get any easier. I'm hoping the brown spotting will completely stop, it can't be nice having any kind of blood. Fingers crossed xx

[Hidden]

Best of luck! Let us know how it goes!

Exciting! Xxx

[elle80 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you hun. Still sat waiting, we saw the sonographer walk up the corridor away from the clinic about 20 mins ago! She's not come back yet.. Rubbish time to take a break just before an appointment lol. So nervous xx

[Hidden in reply to elle80]

Nearly there xxx

[Gillyc1]

Good luck today. I’m sure everything will be fine xxxx

[elle80 in reply to Gillyc1]

Thanks Gilly. All is good and I have a big baby lol xxx

[Gillyc1 in reply to elle80]

Brilliant news. Bet ya so happy now and relieved xx

[Gillyc1 in reply to elle80]

It looks really big . What date have they given you xx

[elle80 in reply to Gillyc1]

I am 7 weeks 1 day, but it's measuring a day bigger but me and my husband are tall and we both have tall relatives, my cousins are 6ft5 lol. So could take after the tall people in our family. 31st December is still the due date, which is our 7 Yr anniversary of when we decided to be together xx

[Gillyc1 in reply to elle80]

Brilliant. 2 days after my daughters due date. My grandson was 2 in February and is in 3-4 years clothes. He’s massive xx

[Ekjones86 in reply to elle80]

So so happy for you 😃😃😃😃😃 !!! What lovely news! Congratulations 😘 xxx

[elle80 in reply to Ekjones86]

Thank you. I am starting to feel a bit more excited now Eeek xxx

[Ekjones86 in reply to elle80]

Once you see that heartbeat it makes it so much more real 💓 ! What a perfect blob you have 😊 xx

[elle80 in reply to Ekjones86]

Yeh so weird to see it beating away! She said it was measuring at 10mm, not sure if that's big or not. I was a big and long baby lol. Fingers crossed it stays where it should xxx

[Ekjones86 in reply to elle80]

I have no idea lol! I had mine at 7 weeks 5 and was measuring at 13.8mm which apparently is spot on for that date. Like you say though, we are all different! You may just have an extra tall baby 😊 xxx

[elle80 in reply to Ekjones86]

I read online that 10mm is quite normal, so fingers crossed I don't give birth to a baby elephant lol

It won't be much longer until your 12 week scan, how are you feeling? Are you getting excited? Xx

[Ekjones86 in reply to elle80]

Ha ha no I'm sure you'll be fine...just don't mistake the umbilical cord for a trunk at your next scan 😂

I'm excited and nervous. I think I'll have a long wait as I will be 12 weeks the day before we go on holiday so I think I'll be closer to 14 weeks by the time I actually have it! May book in for a private one beforehand to give us peace of mind while we are away 😊

Still have zero symptoms! Did you manage to download any apps or are the cat pictures still taking over? Lol xxx

[elle80 in reply to Ekjones86]

Hahaha. Funny!

I'm thinking of doing a private scan before my 12w so I reckon you should to 😆 I reckon it would definitely give you peace of mind.

Yeh downloaded the two you said, fortunately I didn't have to erase any cat pictures 🐱 I don't have many symptoms yet, apart from being a lot more tired and if I don't eat (which is constantly atm) then I feel a bit queasy. Xx

[Hidden]

Hope your scan goes well Hun xx

[elle80 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you my lovely. All sorted, definitely a baby in there xxx

[Niki_B]

Hope your scan goes well hun I'm sure it will! Xxx

[elle80 in reply to Niki_B]

Oh my! The little bean! Glad you can relax a bit! Thanks for sharing. So good to see positive stories 💕💕💕

[elle80 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you hun. Yeh it's hard in some ways to share because I know not everyone is so lucky and I do feel bad when I know people are getting sad news. But then in some ways it might give people some hope that it can work. I want everyone to have their dreams come true. Xx

[Hidden]

Yay! So happy for you. This gives me so much hope as I feel the same as you! Xx

[elle80 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks. It'll be you next week. It's so bizarre seeing this little thing with its heart beating away, unbelievable really. Especially as I was thinking it can't be in there, I'm not throwing up and I feel quite normal, apart from tiredness xx

[WaywardGirl]

That's good you have another scan on Thursday, I'm sure all will be good. I expect the morning sickness will ease off as time goes on, but I can understand your worries. Good luck at the next scan xxx

Thankyou xxx

[Autumnmoon]

Fabulous news x

[elle80 in reply to Autumnmoon]

Thank you hun. Such a relief 😌 xx

[Rachael_]

Awwwww what lovely news .... i to am very anxious for my scan ... wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy ❤️Xxx

[elle80 in reply to Rachael_]

Thank you Rachael. It is an anxious wait but worth it in the end. Good luck at yours, hope the time goes quickly xxx

[Rachael_ in reply to elle80]

Thankyou i bet the relief is even more amazing than the bfp news .... its hard to focus isnt it ive had zero symptoms only cramps on and off boobs hurt less like urself no morning sickness i cant wait to hear that little heartbeat 💗 .... Xxx

[elle80 in reply to Rachael_]

I now consider myself lucky that I haven't been throwing up, although it would have been nice to have lost a couple pounds and not put them on lol. It's like we want all the symptoms to confirm something is there and think something is wrong when there aren't... But I suppose we're all different and actually our symptoms are normal. We just don't normally have anything to compare it to as we've never been in this position before! 💙 The scan definitely makes it real, like it's definitely there lol. Xxx

[Rachael_ in reply to elle80]

Awwww how lovely michelle you enjoy your little baba and keep us posted ❤️ x

[elle80 in reply to Rachael_]

Will do, same goes for you xxc

[Star9]

Congratulations that’s lovely news ☺️

[elle80 in reply to Star9]

Thanks Star, how are you getting on hun? Xx

[Star9 in reply to elle80]

Currently on day 9 and broken my promise not to use google 😂 feel like period due, which is how I felt with my BFN. So not feeling too hopeful but trying to keep some hope ... nearly there!

Lovely news for you though, must be a mixture of nerves and excitement!! Xxx

[elle80 in reply to Star9]

You have done so well not to Google for this long and not do a sneaky test lol.

I constantly felt like my period was coming, still do sometimes! So that might not mean bfn hun. I remember half way through not having any symptoms apart from the feeling of a period arriving.

Think I'm more nerves than excited.. Past couple of days I don't feel at all pregnant, not as queasy etc. I don't think I'll ever stop worrying.

Got my fingers crossed for you xx

[Star9 in reply to elle80]

Thank you that does give me hope 😘 aww bless you, it’s literally never ending isn’t it! Wishing you all the best for healthy happy pregnancy 🤰 xxx

[elle80 in reply to Star9]

Thanks xxx
