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

Oh congratulations 🥳

Can’t wait for the update

A lady I worked with was pregnant her boss and I thought she was just not announcing it. She didn’t know and she was 5 months gone. When she told us we said “We wondered when you were going to tell us!” She couldn’t believe that we had thought she was for weeks and she hadn’t known. She is very slim too.

Bowerbird5 · 30/10/2020 02:51

Should have said congratulations how wonderful for you both.

I cannot wait for the update. Love threads like these 👏🏼 Good luck ❤️

Good luck for your scan, OP Smile

Congratulations OP and good luck with the scan.

I am very envious of those who found out later in pregnancy. When I get pregnant I get morning sickness before DP has even pulled out (tmi I know). I would quite like to find out at 35 weeks although I do love going for scans and seeing baby growing.

I have unfortunately gained some lockdown weight I'd say about half a stone I used to go to the gym a lot im naturally chunky anyway lol I blamed the twixes! I just blamed workimg from home etc , told DH he is in shock and darent beleive it I think he's worried in case something goes wrong it's something he's always wanted ! Its just madness yesterday I thought I should go back to slimming world and.i was having perimenopause symptoms ! Just wow !

Oh wow! Congratulations!! Flowers xx

Could definitely be further along. With my youngest I was 22 weeks before I found out I was pregnant!

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 30/10/2020 07:28

I reckon you’ll have a baby before your degree. Hope the scan goes well.

Smilingthru · 30/10/2020 08:03

Shameless place marking as I’m so intrigued. Good luck and congratulations!

justgeton · 30/10/2020 08:09

Wow... such lovely news!

WhereamI88 · 30/10/2020 08:15

Good luck OP and congratulations!!

blindmansbluff · 30/10/2020 08:16

Someone I know found out at 26 weeks, she thought she was just getting a bit chunky! The week after the scan her stomach just popped out suddenly and she looked unmistakably pregnant.

PrincessPain · 30/10/2020 08:17

Good luck!!!!

DisappointedOfNorfolk · 30/10/2020 08:21

Congratulations! Also shamelessly place marking for your updates, I do love a happy story Grin!

thirstythirsty · 30/10/2020 08:22

Good luck!

SweatyAmy · 30/10/2020 08:45

Congratulations!

I know someone who went to her 12 week scan with her 3rd baby only to find out that she was 24 weeks! She had a right shock but was pleased to know she would meet her new baby sooner than expected Smile
