We saw our bean today, measuring ahead a few days so due date is now 1/10/2020. HR was 157

Got my BFP one month ago, I'm currently 9 weeks and baby #1 is due January 1st!!!

Congratulations everyone!!

Hi JL and other ladies, I got my last week when I tested early, I’m not 100% sure on when I’ll be due tbh as I think I ovulated cd20 but I got a pregnant result on a digital at what I thought was 10dpo so I maybe be a few days further gone than I thought, good luck ladies with your pregnancies x

This is my 10dpo hoard because I had a early loss in February I wasn’t really believing it until I saw it all in writing

Congrats JL on an earlier date! I had an ultrasound today and dated 2 days behind what I though, so pushed back to 6w5d but hey. We had a nice strong heartbeat but I’m still very anxious and don’t yet feel attached to this baby sadly :( at least seeing a heartbeat reduces the chances of another miscarriage so there’s that

@JL congrats on your successful appointment!
@Emma I have a pouch FILLED with tests...My husband enough was gracious enough to indulge me, lol. I'm sure the landfill will be confused as to the influx of pregnancy test.
@Beck congrats on the ultrasound! My midwives won't see me until 10-12 weeks so I'm just twiddling my thumbs nervously. And I feel the same way as you do...I don't feel attached, I'm too nervous to try. And having little to no symptoms doesn't help, even though I'm grateful. Just wanted you to know you've got someone right there with you.

AFM: I went in for another blood draw this morning, just to help with my anxiety. They won't see me for an early ultrasound, but at least they'll give me that. We tour the birthing center on Sunday, and then I have a month to wait for the first US...I've decided to buy 30 cheap tests and test once a day to help myself cope with my anxiety. It's the only semi-healthy thing I can think to do while I wait.

@Harmony usually it's 12 weeks before a scan here but due to a previous loss and conceiving immediately after a miscarriage I needed to be dated so they knew when to schedule what. I'm with my midwife on Wednesday so will be booking my hospital ultrasound then

Hello. Those still checking here and wearing a fitbit. Have you found your heart rate has gone back down again?? I've explained this away with normal physiology of pregnancy, apparently blood volume increases from 6 weeks which would drop heart rate again but I'm just curious if anyone else finds the same?!

Hi @Ali I wear an Apple watch and I'm tracking my heart rate. While I don't have an answer to your question now, I'll keep a closer monitor on it...I'm 6+4 today, so I will see if anything changes over the next couple of weeks. Right now, it looks the same as it did last week.

Anyone ever heard of Exhausea or Nautigue? No? Well, it's what I call being nauseous and tired at the same time. 6 weeks blew in and brought some fun friends with it, lol. Add to that increased sense of smell and you've got a triple threat...and it all started so innocent and mild! Lolol.

The tour of the birthing center went well, and we're feeling good about that. The blood draw results came back and the levels were at 7423. I found a doctor willing to do a US and I see her on 6/13...now, we wait.

I hope you ladies and babies are well!
