I’ve just found out I’m due on 24th. Very anxious as it’s very early. Is this your first?

Hey ladies!! Thanks for joining me!!

It is my first indeed, I have however had 5 misscarriages so I'm extremely nervous. I'm on progesterone and aspirin so nervously waiting to see if next week there has been any progression with the tests and if it's worked.

Is this your 2's first pregnancy's? Xx

Congrats! One app tells me 20th May and another 23rd so very similar to you. I'm currently 3+5
How are you feeling?

@lucymagoo mine is doing exactly the same and currently feel fine!! What about you? The only thing I think I've noticed is I am a teeny tiny bit more tired that normal but I've had a busy couple of weeks!! What are you feeling like? Any symptoms xxxx

I'm definitely more tired but have also given up caffeine so could be that 😂 I have sore boobs and achy hips but otherwise fine I think!

@lenny12345 sorry to hear your anxious - I feel the same so you are not alone! I just found out I’m pregnant & due roughly 12th May (the day my hubby is best man at a wedding - oh dear!).

Sorry to hear you have had 5 Miscarriages and hope this one goes successfully ❤️ Dont know about you but feeling so lonely not being able to talk to anyone about it. Can’t wait for my 12 week scan but feel like time is going to pass so slowly & mind is going in to overdrive.

Have you got your appointments booked with midwife etc? xx

Hi all! I got my BFP this morning and think due on 20 May 2021. I had a chemical pregnancy in May so mainly anxious too and really hoping it sticks. I want to get excited but don't feel I can quite yet! I've got a bit of cramping but that's only really symptom.

@MJM1608 that's the same as us! I'm due to be a bridesmaid the day after the baby is due 😂 the one day I have plans in 2021 how typical

@lucymagoo @MJM1608

Thanks ladies for your replies. I've been awful. Taking tests every day to check I'm still pregnant lol. I have however been getting positives and I think they are all okay and getting darker.

The real test will be next week and if I get that 2-3 weeks.

I was supposed to be getting married during the week we are due!!! How odd!!

@Sophi123 hiyah! I've been feeling exactly the same as you. It's so frustrating isn't it: wanting to enjoy it like everyone else but almost abit scared to get hopes up again.

Hopefully all will be fine for both of us. Have you been constantly testing like a mad women like me!! ?? 😂

@lenny12345 gosh that is such bad timing! 😂 they do say there's never a good time. I found out I was pregnant in the first week of a new job so haven't been able to concentrate at all. Also been testing every morning, I know I shouldn't but like you I'm so scared it's just going to disappear

Hey, may I join? I’ve also just got a positive test - I’m 3w5d according to the apps and due either 22 or 24 th May depending which calculator you believe!

It doesn’t feel real at all, my mind is going a million miles an hour. Oh, and only did the FRER today on what was meant to be our wedding day -2020 is turning out very differently than I expected in so many ways 😮

Hope you’re all feeling OK. I’m finding my sense of smell is super enhanced and some things make me feel a tiny bit nauseous. My armpits are super sore but boobs not too bad.

🤞🏼For sticky beans and I hope we can support each other through the difficult first bit, it’s going to be a killer keeping it a secret IRL

@lenny12345 oh noo, put the tests away, hopefully all will be fine!! You’ll be driving yourself crazy ❤️ I’ve taken about 6 tests this week & the lines aren’t getting darker but the digitals confirmed it so I’ve stopped testing now! Aww what are you going to do about the wedding?

@lucymagoo haha actually dread telling them because they’re wedding has been postponed twice already, maybe my due date will be earlier /later when I get a scan! Hope your friend takes it ok - obviously a very good reason!! 😁

@mouldygrapes congrats on your positive! That’s amazing, funny how things work out & deffo good news after having to postpone your big day! I only really feel nausea at the moment, like I’m sea sick! It’s so lonely already not being able to speak to anyone, so supporting each other will be fab ❤️

@MJM1608 yeah I actually told her right away because we are very close, she loves it and says I can bring a newborn/be a whale sized bridesmaid if I still want to 😂

@mouldygrapes of course you can!!!

Funny you say about the sore armpits! I've had that and thought it was a gland or something!! Maybe it's all the hormones quickly changing!! Awh that's so sad. Sorry to hear about your wedding day but what lovely news to wake up to!! 😍😍

I think I am due 20th May or 22nd depending on the calculation! Currently having a panic because I’ve got brown discharge- anyone else experiencing similar?

lenny12345 · 12/09/2020 13:50

@MJM1608 I know lol! Funny really!! So typical lol but we will just postpone. I think it would be more lovely anyways with our little one there.

I'm sure your friends will be understanding!! Who can't be excited about a new little baby joining the group!

How old is everyone? Xx

@Trousersareoverrated hard to do but don't worry, brown is old blood.

Do you have any pain? as long as it doesn't go red or you have pain then it should all be well but I would suggest still calling the doctors 💕

I've got 20th May as my date, app says 4+3. I'm 38 and a nurse and have a 10yo.
I've had early mc in Jan, March and June this year and started cyclogest this time. My BFP is so much stronger this time even at 3+9 so I'm more hopeful but the MC fear is still there, just knicker checking and stressing over every cramp. Boobs are so sore but I'm marking that as a good thing!
Sticky baby dust for everyone x

Oh and I'm testing alternate days with IC from ebay too because I want to see that line stay

@lenny12345 apparently a lot of people carry breast tissue in the armpit so it’s that why it’s sore!

Thanks for the warm welcome

@Trousersareoverrated I had the same! On the day my period was due and the day before, only a small amount each time and now it's gone. Apparently very normal, my lines are still getting stronger Smile
