Ok, I can't see a May thread in here so I guess I will start one! According to the NHS due date calculator my EDD is actually 30th April but I think that makes me more likely to be having a May baby anyway!

Am feeling very tentative about starting this thread as I had a mc in June and it's very early days for this one but...anyone want to come and chat through these nerve-wracking first few days?

ThePFG the throbbing is horrendous! I feel your pain.

moomin you'll be fine... I can remember how excited nervous I was with my first.

Just curious as to how accurate this Chinese gender prediction thingy is? Predicted I'd have a girl first time round which was correct. Alas it looks like I'll be having another girl this time round too! Would love a boy just to even things out a bit.

Glad to hear you are feeling more happy Moomin.

I feel for you all feeling nauseous and/or bloated. Symptoms yet to kick in here. I wanted had to do another pt today just to reassure myself that I hadn't imagined the whole thing . I'm not even feeling hungry .

Chinese predictor thingy got my first DCs correct so must therefore be accurate with this one being a girl!

Just noticed ever so slight bleeding. Brown tinge on a tissue. Trying not to freak out. We lost our first to eptopic. I'm sure it's fine but early to bed for me...

Hope everything's ok bouncysmiley , biiiig big hugs and lots of good luck xxx

I hope the predictor is right, means I win the bet

I have my scan in the morning!! Very nervous! Lots of back pain from hip to hip and I feel my boobis have been punched

Edging closer and closer to full-blown morning sickness. Been retching constantly, hurting so much it's a good sign though I guess!

Lollipops have failed... bringing out the big guns. It's ginger snap time.

Bounceysmiley try not to worry. I know it's scary, but everything we read says some form of spotting is ok. Get in touch with your GP tomorrow if its still there and they might refer you to EPAU for an early scan.

Good luck Thistlelicker is this a private or EPAU scan? Sure everything will be fine. Let is know how it goes

Epu! 9am so first in.

Thistlelicker just realised I've missed you off the stats. Doh! What's your due date and have you already got kids?

9am is a good time. Not too much time to get nervous beforehand.

Thinking around 10may! No kids x

Just been catching up on all the chat. Welcome & congrats choppa. I just tried the Chinese birth predictor too & apparently I'm having a girl! :)

bouncysmiley hope you're ok. Fx for you!

Good luck at the scan thistlelicker - I'm jealous you're about to see and hear your baby for the first time!!

Before I found out I ad bad abdo pain. I think they keen to check location!! May not hear anything as I don think I'm even 6 weeks

Hope it all goes well thistle. Have you still got bad pain? I read somewhere that the baby at 5 weeks is about the size of a poppy seed!!

No no pain for a week. I keep thinking eptopic!!! I shouldn't have
Googled!

Plus my hcg isn't that high either... Well it wasn't on Saturday

Hi all, glad to hear things are going well! Good luck at your scan Thistle, great that they're checking you out super quick, and fx for all being fine!
Have told everyone at work now, there's only 4 of us in my branch, so decided after the Monday scan panic to just tell them - everyone was so with me for being off sick, I had to tell them I had a good excuse!!

Can someone please reassure me?
On my cd15 this month I went to a party and ended up having a pretty heavy night out. I don't know if this was before or after I ovulated or fell pg as I wasn't tracking it. I just didn't really think I would be pregnant as my cycles had been really irregular since coming off the pill. Silly I know. Anyway, now I actually am pg I can't help worrying that I could have harmed the foetus on that night out! Do you think this is possible or am I worrying about nothing? Just scared that I could have done something to the baby!

Hi Mrs, please don't worry about it. Your baby would be nothing more than a cell by that stage. Lots of women get drunk a lot later than that before they know they're pregnant and have perfectly healthy babies.

Thanks cupcake. I'll try & stop worrying about it!

Mrsmummytobe, don't worry, I really didn't think we would get pg this month as its been so busy so many visitors etc, I wasn't tracking. I had a really heavy night out with some friends and got my bfp the next day, needless to say it was a complete and utter shock! There something to be said for not actually trying to get pg!

Thanks AliOh. I've just been working myself up into a real state worrying about it, which I know can't be very good for the baby! Agh need to stop stressing!

MrsMummy I really wouldn't worry. At that point even if you had ovulated you weren't pregnant.

Lots of people drink before they find out they are pregnant and they are fine. The placenta isn't formed until about 6 weeks. I'd read something somewhere that all the cases of fetal alcohol syndrome have occurred when mothers have drank excessively after the first trimester.

Thanks impatiently. So if it happened before the placenta is formed does that mean it won't harm the baby/cell?!
