My verrrrrry faint line earlier gives me an edd of 27 august so I'm going to straddle the two threads providing I get a strong bfp tomorrow (which I should do!!)

Happy Christmas everyone!!!

Girls, I'm getting worried. With dd, I was really sick from pretty much the get go. I was feeling a but nauseous last week but nothing now. I feel terribly bloated but no sore boobs (maybe because I'm still breastfeeding dd, they wouldn't hurt as much?) I'm very worried about possibility of mmc after all yesterday's talk of mc

such sad news, naaatalie, I am so sorry.

age:36
dp: 37
dd1: 14 months
months trying to conceive:1
lives: london

I am still b/f too & have fewer symptoms this time

Still cramping here, with horrifically sore boobs and headaches on and off that I think are being caused by increasing amounts of blood...

broodylicious I would try not to worry, think you're right about the breastfeeding (seeing Beccus's post!) and they do say that every pregnancy is different :)

A friend of mine is on her 5th pregnancy and has 4DC. She said each was different but she alwaus had tiredness and sickness. She was still bfing with this one and did not find out until 12 weeks due to lack of sysmptoms. Don't worry, you need all the energy you have to grow your little bean.

Morning all. Gosh I'm definitely getting a sleep bra asap after last night's sleep! Who would think such small (well bigger than they were) boobs could hurt so much lol.

Age: 25 (26 next week!)
DH: 29
First baby!!
Months ttc: 1 !
Lives: if I say Kevin from... you might be able to guess haha

Morning all. I've been getting lots of cramping too but GP didn't seem concerned by it. As long as it's not too painful or accompanied by bleeding I think it's pretty normal.

Stats:

Age: 34
DH: 34
DC: DD aged 3.6
Months trying: 6 (though only 4 cycles)
Lives: south-east

Morning!

Well I had a fairly decent night, woken by DS at 5.45 but he went back to sleep. I didn't though, had a very upset tummy! I have IBS which improved with my last pregnancy so hoping the same happens this time!

Age 33
DS 18 months
TTC one month
SAHM , DH is an actuary. I previously worked in various animal related roles.
Lives in Bristol.

metalhead I had only 4 cycles in 6 months, have you seen midwife yet? I wondered if I'd get an early scan for being so irregular, I see the midwife next Thurs

Wow it's good we have a midwife among us :)

This is DC4 and each pregnancy has been different. DS i was sick every time I cleaned my teeth. DD1 I was only sick once but had the most awful back ache. DD2 I was sick all the way through pregnancy. The only thing they had in common was they all arrived at 35 weeks.

Morning ladies! Not read back, but do you think someone should set up a new thread, we're getting close.
Sorry, I'd do it but I did the one last month and the bleeding started so don't want to do it.

Will read back now......

DearDinah yes I saw my GP yesterday and he's referring me for an early dating scan cos my last period was back in October!

I know I conceived in Dec but obviously they want to make sure.

Btw

Wow its so nice to hear everyone's details. Will add some extra for me:

DH: 32 (i'm a cougar as he never fails to remind me)
Married 10 months, together almost 5ish years
Jobs: DH Commercial Property Surveyor, Me, Trader

Choccy I want yours and DH's jobs! Sounds amazing, you lucky things. :)

Some more details...
OH: 28 (I'm the older one too)
He is a media sales consultant

My work: I am a HLTA and Emotional Literacy Support Assistant in an junior school.

So sorry to hear about the MCs yesterday. It's such devastating news. Please ladies, let yourselves cry, curl up in a ball and snuggle your OHs and let yourselves grieve. I remember my experience of this and sending you a lot of love.

I went to the drs today and she sent off my referral for the scan and midwife app. We get married next week and then go on honeymoon so I've said I won't be about til the start of February for any appointments. It felt surreal to get the ball rolling with this.

Age: 29, DP is almost 33
Ttc: 2 months. We seem super fertile as dd was 1st cycle. Very lucky.
Dc: our DD who is 19 months. She's fab!
Lives: in South East London
Does: civil servant, we both are.

My symptoms really ramped up around week 7 with dd where I just wanted to sleep all the time and eat constantly. Only thing I've had so far with this one is slightly tender boobs and a bit of a yucky feeling. But nothing really. Both symptoms are fairly unnoticeable when I'm just going through the day.

Sorry to moan, I am actually very reassured by it all, but does anyone else just feel exhausted, tearful and like saying I'm ill, leaving work and going back to bed. It's like I'm on another planet to everyone else and I know so many women get theough early pregnancy without needing time off or special treatment. Am I just being a wimp to feel like this? I fully accept I might just be over excited too

bug it's normal to feel ridiculously tired in early pregnancy, it's something to do with hormones, others feel completely fine though. It should ease by 12 weeks.

punky congrats on the wedding, what lovely news.

No symptoms at all here yet.

All good with drs! Midwife booked for 6th feb! And dr gave me a flu jab! Not a fan of jabs, so not impressed but kinda glad they did it there And then!

I've started a new thread here

Hello all!
First time poster. I got a BFP on Sunday and so far, so good. However, I've had at least 3 early .m/c so far, so this is the furthest I've got! I'm finding it all rather terrifying as every twinge (which people seem to say is normal) I'm worried its the start of m/c 4. Any advice
on whether period-like pain is normal?It's really mild, and touch wood no blood so far. Also...GP thinks I'm nearly 6 weeks but my own calculations say 4....when you look at baby development calendars... do you ladies look at it according to the GP estimates?Also...because of m/c I have been referred to epu for scan next week (so I'd be 5 or 7 weeks?) Anybody any advice on what to expect, or what they might see on the scan at this early stage?Sorry for the long post!!!

Welcome hereshoping xx

Ok, I had period like pains for about a week and a half after my bfp - was on constant knicker watch feeling like I was going to come on at any minute. It's all stopped now and I'm 6 weeks on Sunday.

Scan wise, I haven't had a scan yet but have done a lot of research on good old t'interweb, and apparently at 5 weeks there is a heartbeat but that can't be heard on a scan at 5 weeks, I think they just look at the size of the sac etc to see if everything is growing as it should. A heartbeat is generally heard about 8 weeks but it can be heard as early as 7 so if you are 7, you could potentially hear it but try not to worry if you don't. Again, not much to see but at 7 weeks everything is just a bit bigger and it's starting to shape like a little alien bean instead of just a mini blob xx

Evening All.
Good idea on the stats

Age - 33 (34 when bean arrives) DH is 37
TTC - 6 months - since we got married
Kids - No - this will be the first
Lives - Another Manchester - will also be looking out for waffles haha.
Does - Work in IT, as does DH (but not in the same place!)

Congrats CumbrianExile!
Is anybody else getting nausea?
OMG today has been awful, just doesn't seem to be going away. Hubby made me lovely fresh soup which he took a long time to make and I was sick everywhere :(
I just feel like I am on a boat with really bad motion sickness... and to make it worse I had to get up 3 times in the middle of the night to have the tiniest wee grrrr!
I don't mind the sleepiness but the vomitting if anyone has any tips to make it go away would happily welcome them!
