Hi all!
Just got my BFP! Approximately 3 weeks and 6 days. Due date calculator has put me to give birth around 8th January. Feeling so nervous, have had two MCs and then thankfully a much loved DC. Symptoms currently are extremely sore boobs, mild cramping, and upper hip / thigh pain on my right leg! Would love to chat to others who've just found out and want somewhere to refer back to!

@Mich86ellen oh how lovely! Huge congratulations. It's definitely still sinking in over here too - can I offer you a glass of alcohol-free gin? 
Will be lovely just chatting over symptoms, scans etc. Definitely feeling a bit shivery and shaky! Our first month trying too, just wasn't expecting it so quickly at all!

@Mich86ellen have you already phoned the GP? We only found out tonight so obviously can't do anything until Monday anyway but feeling really daft as I honestly can't remember what to do especially with covid! How are you feeling having a baby in a pandemic?! It hasn't quite hit me yet haha.
How are you feeling in yourself? Will you be having any early reassurance scans? We're thinking if no bleeding etc early on we might go for one at 9-10 weeks (we did this last time and it was such a relief! Seeing a heartbeat at 10 weeks apparently reduces the miscarriage risk significantly) I'm a real worrier so I'm trying to take it easy!

I am due early January, around the 3rd we think 
Time seems to be dragging... we found out 8 days ago and it feels about 4 weeks ago
Does anyone have symptoms yet? I've had slight sickness and today my boobs are a tiny bit sore but other than that's it.
With previous pregnancies my boobs hurt straight away and from around week 6 I was constantly sick!

Officially 4 weeks today which feels lovely! A little poppy seed 
Jut need to get through each week as calm as possible. Which pregnancy app are we all using? Today's symptoms - loose stomach (sorry!) cramping and sore boobs.
Thanks @Clarkey86! Will check it out  and congrats!
@bages1977! Welcome lovely, congrats and so sorry to hear about your MCs, I'm exactly the same and the worry is just constant. Had two previously and the only thing I did different in my last pregnancy was take baby aspirin until 36 weeks - no idea if it helped but baby stuck! Symptoms are the same as mine, will have lost a stone by next week after all the running up and down stairs to the loo 
@DoesTheQueenOrderChinese those symptoms sound promising! Boobs are killing and period cramping but that's it really over here! Time is 100% dragging it's like you spend weeks waiting for find out and when you do it's like ... damn now it's a whole 9 months of twiddling thumbs 
Hi @Drl94 so sorry to hear about your loss and huge congratulations - would you mind sharing the symptoms you had if possible? It's something I've never experienced but always worry about. Fingers crossed this will be ok, will you be getting an early scan this time round for reassurance?
@Firsttry132 congratulations!! You're definitely not alone in the panicking it seems many of us have had a MC 
it will be great to have somewhere to hand hold and chat about things as we all progress. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 9 months!!

Oh @Drl94 that sounds absolutely dreadful I'm so sorry you had to experience that But thank you so much for sharing, that's really helpful for anyone who might have the same symptoms. Did you have to have surgery?
Oooh yay! Love how late you booked too, that's the sort of thing I'd do! How many weeks will you be at your private reassurance scan? Do they let partners into the private ones? Can't wait to hear how it goes, so exciting!
