Positive test, is this possible ?

[jmg12345]

Hello all,

Took a pregnancy test Sunday and it came out positive. I am dying to tell my family but still have not gone to confirm at the doctors. Last time I told my family I had a miscarriage a month after. Hoping this time is different. Still sad from the last one and having flash backs to miscarriage. <3 <3

Ohhh congrats! If I were you I'd either wait, or just tell your closest family, e.g. I have told my parents but that's it, much like you did, mainly so I can get advice from my mum about her pregnancies etc. I'm reaching 10 weeks and feel so contradicted about who else to tell too! I don't want to tempt any kind of fate though until I've seen and heard that healthy heart beat and everything has been confirmed as ok.

I still think I'm going to wait a little longer though...just to be sure. Xxx

Thank you for your reply. Congrats to you too!!! It’s such a weird and wonderful experience becoming a mommy. I really want the best as the last time was rough confirming the miscarriage. I do want to tell my parents but they are blabber mouths lol. I think they will be overly excited again once they find out but it’ll be nice to surprise them after 13 weeks of waiting!

Hey, I did a test Sunday too which was positive. Im really excited, going by NHS pregnancy calculator I could be 7 weeks now. I've only told my partner. I'm not sure when we'll tell others, I still need to let the docs know. I'm a bit sad thinking about the possibility of not having my partner or child at the scans. It really is a worrying time with what's going on with covid, restrictions etc which has put a bit of a dampener on our excitement. Does anyone else feel the same?

Hi Chanelle you said they won’t let your husband come to the scan because of covid? I haven’t heard that but it would definitely make me sad too. I basically do everything with him

Hi congratulations on your positive test there’s no better feeling in the world, my first pregnancy I told both side of the family almost straight away and everyone was so excited and happy but I miscarried to and had to then tell everyone the bad news which was the most heart breaking thing seeing how sad and upset everyone was, my second pregnancy we decided not to tell anyone until after the 12 week scan as we jsut couldn’t go through it all again, best of luck with everything x

Hi Rebecca thank you!! Yeah I know it is heart breaking to tell the family and then have to break the bad news. Thanks for your insight! I hope all is well with your little one Xxx

Hi

Congratulations!

We waited until the scan to tell family as, we had experienced 2 miscarriages prior to this baby.

Also, I’m sorry but most places now are not permitting partners to the scan, I attended my first scan alone and will likely have to attend the 20 week scan alone also.

It is sad but, they are trying to keep everyone safe.

I don’t know if you have even thought this far but, as my partner can’t come I have told him I’m not finding out the gender but, I am going to surprise him with it after I have been 🙂. Maybe you could do something like this?

I hope so, after June I’ll be in a new country (Austria) so I would imagine I might be able to have my husband with me at the Next scan there. I hope they offer videos or will let me take a video at the first one if not
