Hello!! Anyone else just find out that they are expecting in August?? 🤗🤗

[SenoraSurf]

I got a faint positive on a one step yesterday! AF due Friday so will test this weekend on a digi before telling OH!
Due date expected to be 5th August if it sticks! Xx

[Chocolate89]

Ah great news, congrats! Do you have any symptoms? How many dpo are you?

I did a cb digital this am and got 1-2 weeks, such a relief to see it in writing! Now to sit on my hands and not poas every day of this pregnancy!

[SenoraSurf]

Had a bubbly feeling and have been belchy (yuck) but that's it really. I'm 11dpo... hoping it sticks! Have you told your OH? X

[Chocolate89]

@senorasurf YES I told him the day I found out! He is always v level headed about things though, never gets too excited or too anxious. I'm the opposite 😂

I know, i hope it sticks too!3🤞🏻🤞🏻 I always end up wishing the 1st trimester away! I just want to get to 12 weeks!!

[EverythingNow]

Please can I join? I got a bfp at 8dpo and I think I'm also due 5th August... but AF not due til Monday so everything is tightly crossed!

We've been trying 18months and this will hopefully be number 4, after a massive gap!

[SenoraSurf]

Eeeek @Chocolate89 so exciting. I told DH yesterday. He's surprised but excited!
I'm feeling nauseous today, like travel sickness without the travel lol. Didn't expect that so soon.

Welcome @EverythingNow and congratulations!!!!!! Xxx

[Chocolate89]

Welcome @everythingnow! So happy to see you over here 😊💐 how are you feeling?

I am starting to feel more tired, slept for 11 hours last night! But v busy in work so could just be that! Made my apt with my obstetrician for 20th of dec and they are doing a scan then. Feels like ages away! Anyone else calculating when they can tell family?? 😂

[Vicola]

I did a CB digital this morning and got 2-3 weeks so assuming everything goes smoothly and works out, I'll be one of the August ones too! Nice to meet you.

[EverythingNow]

Thanks @senorasurf and @chocolate89! I'm feeling totally and utterly normal! But so nervous! I was so lucky with my 3 that 2 were unplanned and one took 5months, I just took a test and then waited for my scan and hoped for the best.

Then I had chemical in Feb16 and another early loss in April at 4w3d. My lines were very faint and didn't get that dark. This time my bfp was pretty dark from 9dpo, and I'm trying to not stress or worry but I srill want to test every day!! I'm hoping I'll feel more secure when AF date has passed!

[FrancesV83]

Me! Got my BFP yesterday, due on the 4th August. Mine and hubbys first baby, already got 3 boys between us.

[Chocolate89]

Congratulations @Vicola and @francesv83!!

@everythingnow im right there with you dear! Since the mc in july i'm so much more anxious! My friend whos an obstetric reg was telling me not to monitor the lines on hpts though bacause hcg can vary thoughout the day, so if you get a lighter line it just causes unnecessary stress!!
I had a good few cramps this eve, apparently also very normal, but still hard to to worry!

[EverythingNow]

@chocolate89 agreed it's so hard not to worry. I have no tests left so I would have to go buy more or have them delivered Tuesday.

[EverythingNow]

I just took a cb digi now after holding for 2hrs (well not really holding just not going!) And got pregnant 1-2! Eek!

[PinkLady89x]

Hello 
Found out I'm expecting in August 2019 too! @Chocolate89 I think we were on the same conception thread?!
I had a mmc in August so I'm obviously worried but so far this pregnancy - only known for like 4 days 😂 - is already different.
I've had a tiny amount of brown mixed in with clear discharge (sorry TMI) which I never had last time. I'm trying to convince myself that it's because this time it's implanted well 😅. Anyone else experienced this? I've had very very mild AF style feelings too. Don't want to get my hopes up yet so I'm being realistic atm. Clear blue says 1-2 weeks

[PinkLady89x]

Btw also due on 4th Aug 😊

[Vicola]

Congratulations PinkLady89x! For what it’s worth, i had the spotting too, as well as really odd symptoms like bizarrely sensitive skin up the inside of my arms, aching thighs and a painful pelvis which I put down to cycling with the dog but which probably wasn’t that! Also trying to be realistic and manage expectations but it’s hard. Also now buying books as what I know about pregnancy and child rearing could be written on the back of a stamp and still leave room to lick and stick...

[sunshine1987]

Hey everyone, tentativey joining you all. Currently 12DPO and today got my BFP on a clear blue digital. Due date looks like August 6th. Still feeling a bit shell shocked and hoping AF stays away xx

[Chocolate89]

Ah great to see you here @pinklady! Congrats @sunshine1987!
Boobs definitely starting to get sore, dont remember that from last time so hoping a good sign! When is everyone going to have their 1st appointment? X

[PinkLady89x]

Wishing everyone luck!
My brownish discharge has turned into very light but bright red blood 😢. My other half and I DTD this morning so I'm hoping I've just caused it because of that but I think I know what's going on. There's hardly any coming out but still, it's red. Wish me luck! What a stressful time x

[jodierobson]

Hi everyone! Congratulations to you all! I got my BFP a week yesterday. I'm still in shock, im around 6 weeks so a July baby! It's my first baby and pregnancy so I don't know what to expect and in super nervous!! Everything I'm feeling I worry about, I'm terrified of having a mc. Because it's my first I don't know what's normal and what isn't and I'm just worrying 24/7 is that normal?

[IrishCypriot]

Hi all,
So happy to find this thread.
So excited (first pregnancy) but DH and other MNs telling me it's too early for that. Can't help myself! Due date 3rd August.

Been having cramps, heartburn and acid reflux and nausea since 3 weeks (before even taking a pregnancy test!).

Have already self referred for hopefully an early scan due to FH and my health problems, but have had nothing but judgement.

Am I getting too excited?!

[IrishCypriot]

@jodierobson - likewise!! My anxiety levels have just gone way up and every twinge is making me nervous. Oddly reassuring to know I am not the only one.

[jodierobson]

I don't think your getting too excited.bim exactly the same! I'm counting down the minutes!! Everyone reacts differently. My parents are the same, everything is too early and always telling me what I should and shouldn't be feeling. It's so annoying! So I know where your coming from! It's your pregnancy and your news so if your excited you be excited. I've booked my scan in and I'll be 8 weeks when I get it,no can't wait till 12!!

[EverythingNow]

Welcome @Irishcypriot it's great to be excited!

@Jodierobson it's normal to worry, this will hopefully be number 4 for me and I'm still worried!

@pinklady89 how are you today? Wishing you lots of luck

@chocolate89 I've booked my drs appointment for when I'm 6+1 they then send off for scan and MW appointment. Considering a private scan, because I'm anxious after loss in April and because I can. With my other 3 they weren't readily available. I don't know whether to wait til after Christmas though as I don't wanr to spoil it!

I took my final cbd today.AF is due today (26 day cycle) and I got 2-3 weeks - that's making me feel hopeful!

[Bakingabean]

I got a bfp this morning. A really strong one. Kinda freaking out, in a good way- can't actually believe it so will probably have to do several more tests before it sinks in!

Due date says 3rd august.

First baby so I literally have no idea what I do now! Going to book a doctors apt for sometime in the next few weeks. Any advice from you wise ladies would be much appreciated!
