Hoping I can join you! Found out over the weekend and due (according to my app) on the 22nd Grin

Eva30 · 17/05/2017 17:57

unicorns same day as me!
Congrats to all with new bfps!
buxx looks positive to me

I'm with you all regarding unbuttoning of trousers and questioning whether this is a dream because no symptoms at all, although am only 4+2
Yes I count from first day of LMP too

Hotpinkangel19 · 17/05/2017 18:08

Hi ladies, Saw sac and yolk again... and a tiny 3.3mm baby with heartbeat. Xx measuring a bit behind though xx

Hotpinkangel19 · 17/05/2017 18:09

@WLMcI Hope your scan went well today xx

Lenska999 · 17/05/2017 18:19

Hi all, great to hear how everyone is getting on. I'm so glad it's not just me with the bloat, I seriously look about 5-6 months gone right now. I'm only 6w+5. It's even noticeable in my loosest of clothes. First midwife appt is on Friday to get booked in then hopefully a scan date will follow soon.

Is it possible to get cravings at this stage? I've been eating a ton of mango and drinking chocolate milkshakes like they are going out of fashion!

This feels so different to last time round, I really thought it would be much the same, but no!

ImBreakingBad · 17/05/2017 18:33

lenska has beaten me to it! Literally was just about to write about cravings. ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS MCDONALDS MILKSHAKE! DH is being a prick lazy and won't get me one Grin. Cue the tears currently streaming!!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 17/05/2017 18:46

Eva that's wonderful! How is everything going for you? Smile

Lenska999 · 17/05/2017 18:48

No way ImBreakingBad, can't believe we are craving the same. I had 2 Macdonald choc shakes on Sunday 🙈 Have requested DP brings one back for me tonight instead of dinner! He was moaning about it so he will feel my wrath if he comes home empty handed!!

WLMcI · 17/05/2017 18:48

Hotpink I'm so glad to hear that, scan buddy! My scan went well; on the pic it's a blob, but a blob with a strong heartbeat! That was the first time I've had a good scan, so I was really relieved and it was amazing to see it beating away. The nurse said baby measures about 5 days behind my dates, but that it's nothing to worry about as a) most of the time it's just a slight margin of error and baby measures correctly by 12 weeks, and b) I think I ovulated later than the LMP date would indicate, as that period was a longer than normal one. Having a great day breaking the good news to my dad, siblings, and work colleagues! (Mom and a close friend already knew, and the in-laws are away so we'll tell them tomorrow or Friday when they are back).

Re: cravings, I've always noticed when my body wants something, so although the vaunted "pregnancy cravings" are not particularly strong at the moment, fruit is hugely attractive to me, as are plain salted crisps (I haven't given in to the crisps yet)! Mostly I have aversions: due to nausea nothing with strong flavours sounds good, and nothing heavy (cheese and chocolate are pretty much out, and most dairy products although I had some yogurt with strawberries today and it was fine).

Neavesa · 17/05/2017 18:48

@hotpink glad your scan went well today.

ImBreakingBad · 17/05/2017 19:14

lenska I've now got 2 milkshakes to keep me going Grin. So happy!!!

hotpink excellent news. So glad your scan went well!

Ndt90 · 17/05/2017 19:19

Hi first time just found out last night... definately not planned .
Due jan 22nd

WLMcI · 17/05/2017 19:20

Oh, and was speaking to a work colleague about how I've stopped doing yoga for the first trimester and my back hurts (there are some safe yoga videos out there, but I'm just being neurotic due to previous MC--do make sure you're doing proper pregnancy yoga though!). Anyway, she has a bad back so at her booking in, her GP referred her to the pregnancy physio pre-emptively. The waiting lists for them are so long that if you wait until you actually need them, you will practically be delivering before you get an appointment! And you can always cancel if you don't need it. Thought that would be helpful info for anyone who has a bad back; I've got mild scoliosis so might ask for a referral.

Great news on the scans I'm so happy for everyone.
I'm feeling nauseous and have eaten very little today. No cravings yet. Plus I am sooooo tired. Had a nap when my lo napped earlier and still feel I need an early night. I'm wondering if it's psychological as I'm too early for proper symptoms surely!

Lenska999 · 17/05/2017 19:42

Literally in heaven ImBreakingBad!

January 2018 babies!
PurplePoppySeed · 17/05/2017 19:53

Two days away as I work away every tues-weds and I'm trying to catch up - having just devoured a plate of chip shop chips to get rid of nausea I now really want a mcdonalds milkshake - thanks guys HmmWink

Hotpinkangel19 · 17/05/2017 19:54

Thank you!!!! @WLMcI Brilliant news!!! How far are you now? By my dates I should be 6w 4d but measuring 5w 4/5 days. So around 6 days under xx MW said it looks ok though, and it says Viable Pregnancy on my notes so today for now I'm reassured!

Lenska999 · 17/05/2017 19:57

Sorry not sorry purple Grin

Great news hotpink

Fattycowagain · 17/05/2017 20:28

Yay for heartbeats!

Eva30 · 17/05/2017 20:50

Yeah good thanks unicorns
Great news on all the scans
Hi ndt So are you just getting your head around it? Were you on birth control?

My book got delivered today, yay! I've heard good things about it so looking forward to this big learning curve!

January 2018 babies!
coragreta · 17/05/2017 20:59

Eva- I had that with number 1. Was very good. Might have to dig it out. I also downloaded an app or two?

itsgoingtoofast · 17/05/2017 21:03

Hi to all the new joiners!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has some cravings already. Cannot stop thinking about prawn cocktail crisps and sweet and sour chicken. Very strange! Don't remember this with the my last 2.... although maybe I've blocked it out. I am also exhausted beyond belief and counting down the days until my reassurance scan. I just need to know everything where it should be and is doing what it is supposed to do!

itsgoingtoofast · 17/05/2017 21:04

Also feel I need to buy that book again, was very helpful. I've forgotten everything!

WLMcI · 17/05/2017 21:05

hotpink I'm 7w6d by my dates; she said it measures about 7 weeks. But I'm not worried as I say, rather reassured for all of 15 minutes to see that wee pulse!
