AIBU to think I may be further along ...

[browny1981]

Hi all
In a bit of shock but need some opinions!
So for the past few days ive had some leaking of colostrum type liquid both breasts, I'm 39 and have had 5 kids , new partner of 3 years no contraception ; he couldn't have children! Well after the leaking came these rolling movements in my upper abdomen between my belly bottom and my ribs on the right side , i videoed it to see if it was visible and it was ! I phoned the GP who was very dismissive and then said well just take a test, wouldn't see me to examine due to covid . Done a clearblue digital and it says pregnant 1 to 2
With the movement and leaking could I be further along? I have had light but regular periods for months I track them using the clue app. Thanks x

Ooh shamelessly place marking, I love these threads!
Congrats

Wow congratulations OP.
Bet your DH is over the moon.

Have a feel of your abdomen- you should know from your experience of being pregnant before what to do.
Can you feel the top of your uterus?
If you can, that would be a massive clue.

Congratulations OP, how exciting. Best of luck

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and can't feel the top of my uterus. Should I by now?

I'm in a pregnancy group and people feel baby as early as 10 weeks when they've already had a few. Definitely dont think you're 2 weeks, those date predictors aren't very accurate.
Congratulations!

How exciting. I only found out I was pregnant with my third at 20 weeks when I felt a little foot kick me at work. I felt like such an idiot but all the midwives just thought it was funny. I had something like 'late booking' written all over my notes.

Also here for scan news

Following with interest!

I have an umbilical hernia and diastasis rect( separation of abdominal wall muscle) so it's hard to "feel" for myself I have tried feeling for my cervix and did feel a hard ball but when I got my period on time every month I just didn't let it cross my mind I thought I was symptom spotting and I feel like I've been so daft! Its driving me crazy now I want to know and will of course update when I find out! I have read so many threads and no outcome it's soooo frustrating ! My fear is now I'll get my period as normal and keep panicking but i just want the scan to be done then we know where we're at ! Hope rhey don't keep me ages waiting ill have to go alone aswell as I'm on tier 3 restrictions :(((

Commenting purely so I get the updates. Congrats OP!

To outwardly see movement, not just feel flutters inside, I would think you must be quite far along, a fair bit past 20 weeks I would have thought? Probably getting on for third trimester. Congratulations and hope all goes well.

How exciting! I am a sonographer, and have scanned a couple of women who were 30+ weeks pregnant and had no idea! You will make your sonographer's day They won't think you're daft- these scans make our day 😂

Hope the scan date comes through quickly for you.

Maybe, maybe not. It’s borderline at 11 weeks I think. It’s tucked in behind your pubic bone for most of the first trimester.

Oh wow congrats!
Am intrigued to know how far along you are!

Google the Hook Effect.

The more HcG you have (IE the more pregnant you are) the less effective pregnancy tests are - they are designed to pick up certain low levels of HcG so won't be as effective or even give a positive at all in later pregnancy.

Congratulations

Wow. Is it wrong to be most interested in how you have 5 kids and a partner? I have 3 and can't imagine.

Shameless place marking

I got leaky boobs at about 6 weeks, so you could still be v early. They stopped a few weeks later fortunately.

Wow congratulations!! Looking forward to an update once you've had your scan :)

Wow, congratulations! Can't wait to hear result of scan!

Congratulations look forward to seeing how far gone you really are

This is amazing, have you gained any visible lower tummy weight?

Congratulations
