June 2014 (earliest of early days yet!)

[wispaxmas]

I decided to take a peek into the antenatal club threads, but there's no June thread yet, although for good reason.

I may be jinxing myself here, but after a couple very very faint positives on ICs for the last couple days I got a positive on an FRER this morning, so thought it would be safe to start one up.

Of course, still early days, but if it sticks my due date will be 3-5 June, depending on several websites.... What can I say, I tested early!

I hope someone comes to join me soon. There have to be some more recent BFPs....

UGH, who else is nauseous and achy and everything they eat tastes of nothing??

Yes moon please give us an update....

Gilly so your GP actually saw you? Mine just made a midwife appt and sent me away! sorry, I have the worst case of fuzzy brain, did you say you're a bit more high risk? is that why they slotted you in with the GP and the midwife both? glad it all went well anyway! x

Tiny gosh Xmas must be hard...I've been dreading this one a bit as we alternative being with my family and dh's so this will be the first xmas we've had dh's family here since xmas day 2 years ago when we announced i was 20 weeks PG to much joy from them only to go on and lose the baby later....having an xmas day due date must be very hard

Gilly My GP twirled his little wheel and told me I was 6 weeks along when I know that I ovulated on the 9th of September! He said, well, just wait for the dating scan.

I feel nauseous all the time, and every now and then get lovely chills and sweats and prickles up the neck and have to be careful not to faint. It's great!

Aw Norah I really don't know how I could cope with a late loss. My latest one was 10 weeks...

My GP didn't use the twirly thing, she went on the patient.co.uk website
More technological!

bludger, sounds like me on my wedding night, too

Gilly, if you got a 2-3 weeks a couple days ago you might actually be wrong to think the 9th, you might actually be closer to the 3rd. I guess wait until the dating scan to see.

I did a quick search through the thread, and found these EDDs, I think there are loads missed off the list, though:

Loudandlarge 30 May
TinyTear 31 May/1 June
bludgerwitch 2 June
Wispaxmas 3 June
GillyBillyWilly 3 June (9 June?)
MAgirl75 5 June
gimmetea 7 June
AuntPittyPay 7 June
Daisychain44 9 June
Snowlet 10 June
TheMoonInJune 11 June

Threefromdesire, 10th June

Bludger what was the start date of your last cycle though? 6 weeks is surely about right if you ovulated on the 9th?

I ovulated on the 16th sept but that was around day 20 of my cycle (which started on 27th aug)... Hence me now being about 5 weeks today!

Snowlet no I'm not high risk at all. No previous miscarriages or pregnancies.... I guess all doctors are different though
I think I might have had a chemical pregnancy last cycle but don't think I know for sure so didn't mention it.

I was sat chatting to her for about 20 mins!

She took my blood pressure and weighed me.....
Then asked me to lie down so she could feel my tummy (she said she had a woman once that said she was only 5 weeks and she had a feel and realised she was more like 12! Lol!)

We then talked about my job, whether I do a job that's particularly heavy duty/strenuous ... I laughed and said NO ...however I then mentioned my shift work and she agreed its best not to do shifts and nightshifts during pregnancy so she wrote a certificate/recommendation to say I should do more "normal" hours and no nights - I've given that to a lady in HR today who is the only person I've told in work!

She also did the spinny wheel thing and talked about due dates... Booked me in with a midwife and said if I'm lucky they might even do an early scan but otherwise that will be at 12 weeks

Gilly that's all really helpful, thank you! Yeesh, does that mean they can tell you're 12 weeks by feel? I already feel like I have a squatter in there, considering the roller coaster of nausea and fatigue. How are you feeling?

Feeling fine at the moment!

Tender breast every now and then and twinges and twisty feelings in my side/tummy every now and then but otherwise fine!

You?

I guess doctors can tell by feeling? Maybe she was pulling my leg and just wanted to touch me!

They was meant to say breastS not breasts! I do have more than one

Breasts not breast!

Flippin phone!

Ok too much breast talk now!!

Hello ladies, another June-bug tentatively joining.... A bit terrified to do so, this is my fourth pregnancy and still no baby, so very much hoping that this is my lucky number four.
According to lmp mye due date is June 3rd, and I should be 5 weeks today. Less symptoms than all the other times - I'm taking that as a good sign! Have had lots of cramping and my nipples are so sore it feels like they might be falling off, other than that feeling absolutely fine.
Going away on Sat for a week to celebrate my dad's 60th, so I'm thinking of heading to the EPU for a reassurance scan on Friday, as my last pregnancy was ectopic. I know there won't be much to see at this stage, but if they could just confirm that it's in the right place, I'd feel so much better.
Anyway - I hope you are all feeling ok - wishing you all very uneventful pregnancies with healthy kicking babies at the end of it!

Welcome Mezzaluna, fx for you. There are another couple of us on this thread with RMC so hopefully we can keep each other's spirits up.

How exciting to see the list!

Gilly I genuinely am not sure I could feel much more rubbish unless I was actually upchucking, I've just cancelled my plans tonight as all I want to do is lie still and try and sleep.... and they say next two weeks are worse!

Wondering if part of it is just that bodies are unused to feeling this way, pregnancy sickness can't be this bad all the time or who'd get anything done? hoping it dissipates....

Snowlet, it might let up for you, it might not. No way to tell, really. My sister in law was bed ridden for a couple months at the beginning of her first pregnancy, but fine in her second. My best friend found that eating small amount every couple hours kept the sickness at bay, as long as she ate before she started to feel ill, and my sister wasn't all that bad.

I'm not had any nausea yet, just the boob rash. I showed it to hubby this morning and he grimaced. Didn't make me feel sexy in the slightest.

Has anyone found that they're ridiculously thirsty all the time? I've been drinking loads more water than I normally do and still feel thirsty. I feel like I need one of those hats with a straw attached so I can just constantly be drinking fluids.

Hi Ladies

Can I tentatively join you too? I'm due 1st June! I already have a 2yr old DD. I hope everyone is feeling well. I have been incredibly nauseous for the last week - didn't have a single day of sickness last time, Bah!!

xx

I've ordered some sickness bands for my wrists, that anti-sickness roll-on with ginger oil, some arnica massage & bath oil and some tiger balm to deal with my headaches without taking painkillers.

I hope I feel better soon, working til ten o'clock on Thursday and working Saturday this week, I'm not looking forward to it! I find that little and often works for me, lots of ginger tea and protein snacks. Have gone off dairy, though.

Sorry to hear that Snowlet!

I'm hoping I take after my older sister who has 1 son and is currently 6 months pregnant and has never had any sickness with either of them!!!!

Snowlet – just seen your post. Sorry you are suffering too. I am finding eating very small amounts frequently is helping (small bits of oatcakes,cheese,grapes etc) although I had a couple of days last week where I was really dizzy and felt entirely flu-like all day and not like eating at all. Fingers crossed it eases soon, I do feel a bit better this week.

wispa definitely yes to the constant thirst! that was a symptom I had as well, from about 8dpo

Thanks for the tips ladies, I've found that I'm sickest in the mornings (cliche!) and then normally it's better through the day, but today, just ill all day!

I am definitely finding ginger-heavy smoothies help, but I'm still trying things.... damn the little squatters eh??

Hmmmm, symptoms are quite tricky to spot... Aside from the wonderful constipation - I'd forgotten how much fun that was last time round! Am thirsty too but could just be normal thirsty, who knows!

Bought 2 digi tests today as I want to see the 1-2 weeks and then hopefully a 3-4 weeks in writing. Not sure when to do them though. Only 16 days since +ve opk so less since actual ovulation probably. Might try to wait till the weekend...

I know every prgnancy's different but I remember eating really frequently (like 5 meals a day) really helped me not feel sick last time.

Happy symptom spotting all!

Hi ladies, im on my phone so could someone add me to the list please? I think for now anyway EDD 7th June.

I haven't had any sickness yet, just achy boobs and dry mouth still. Hope those with sickness aren't feeling too bad.

I got married this year too, altho been together for years beforehand so don't really feel like newlyweds. Its nice to finally call him my husband tho

Gilly ur GP sounds great!

Moon how you doing?
