February 2018 Babies!

[pretzelpieces]

Hello! Just got my bfp, would love to join up with others expecting next Feb.

My DD is 16 months, so we're expecting (almost exactly!) a 2yr age gap all being well. EDD 2nd Feb.

howto like pretzel said it's from first day of last period- mine was 23rd (but convinced oved on the 12th) so my due date is either 28th Jan or 2nd Feb. Need to call dr today for midwife appt - so difficult to fit in working without telling them!!

Guys I'm terrified!
I'm away at the moment on a hen party and yesterday at the beach I noticed there was a little bit of blood when I went for a wee.
This has only happened yesterday and has now stopped - was red not brown (sorry tmi)

I'm absolutely TERRIFIED as our last pregnancy in 2013 was a blighted ovum and we found out at the 12 week scan xxx

Thanks so much pickle
Think I'll take a week to process and then get in touch.😁

Hey How to , I definitely think it is from the first day of your last period! Eg. My period started May 5th so I count from there. The NHS due date calculator gave me 8/02/18 as a rough due date.

Try not to panic carb, some small bleeding can be normal on early pregnancy I think. Fingers crossed everything is okay. Maybe see if you can give a quick call to your midwife? It might put your mind at ease.

Try not to panic carb! I had some spotting the week I found out... hopefully it'll be nothing, hand holding though!

Hand holding carb, hopefully a very small amount isn't a bad sign. Is your af due now? Could it be a breakthrough bleed? A lot of people get those around when their period "should" have been.

Another hand hold here Carb. The fact that there hasn't been anymore is positive. But I know how horrible it is to be constantly checking for blood. Fx! x

Handholding carb hoping it's nothing!

Booking appt booked for 23rd June

Took digital test today - niceness seeing the word pregnant!

Can I join? I got my BFP yesterday, spent all night tossing and turning and having second thoughts but woke up feeling excited about it! I haven't told DH yet as he's working away this week, and I know as soon as I tell him he'll tell his mum/sister. I don't want them to know until I'm much further on as I'm 38 and have a few health issues.

Congratulations Thekiss and welcome!

Hiya Thekiss waves

Congrats on your BFP! 😁

Oh pickle that's wonderful! I haven't taken a digital yet. Going to hold off until Monday! Have taken a few more FRERs and one from my CBFM and all are positive. However, doubt I have enough HCG for a digital yet.

Supposed to be going to the gym tonight but feel like wrapping myself in cotton wool until the 12 week mark instead. 😂

Thanks!

Thanks for all your replies and congrats to the new Bfp's!!
Now I am really confused. My preg test last Friday said 2-3 weeks?! But 5 days on I am 5.5 weeks?! Arghh sorry maybe I can get baby brain this early??!

The tests tend to say when you conceived, but the midwives / sonographer / obstetricians will date it from the first day of your last period afaik.

Thank you rockaby
I'll shut up now !!

Ah not at all! I thought the same thing last time I was pregnant. Thought I was 0 weeks when I was 4.

Hello: signing up and strapping in for the ride!

2nd pregnancy for me: the first is a boisterous 2.5yo boy! BFP was on Saturday: I only tested because I fancied some wine over the bank holiday weekend when my period was due and ovia told me to...

It's a long thread and I confess I have skimmed it - any other 2nd/3rd/many timers here? Can we collect names and due dates? Mine is estimated at 3rd Feb.

Hi Bingle's

How are ya? Waves

Quick run down of me:

Age: 27 (as of three days ago😂😂)
First pregnancy.
Due (according to NHS due date calculator) Feb 8th 2018.

Currently 3+7 and already impatient.

Haven't really a clue what I'm doing but very happy all the same.

Welcome to our little February 2018 group!

On the first day of your missed period, you are already 4 weeks - doesn't make sense I know!

My due date is 6th Feb. It's lovely having this thread!

Hi all newbies to the group!

About me:
Age 34
This is my 4th pregnancy - first two I lost very early on but currently have an awesome 1.5 year old

Currently 5.3 weeks and due 28th Jan based on last period ( my maths works it at 2nd Feb)

To all the newbies - remember to get hold of pregnancy Vitamins - I stomach silver seas better - it has the folic acid you need - am also taking feroglobin to help with being tired

Hi and congrats all!

Can I join? Got my first bfp on Sunday. Initially panicked quite a lot because we'd just decided to wait a bit longer but these things happen! Excitement starting to creep in now.

Tried to make appointment with the doctors yesterday but apparently you have to phone at 8:30 to make any appointments!? Don't particularly want to do it at my desk at work... is it worth me just seeing if I can self refer online?

Oh, and baby ETA end of Jan/early Feb.

Hi llama! Did your surgery say if you needed to see a dr?? I just called and made appt with midwife in a few weeks - for my first pregnancy I made a dr appt and she wondered why I was there!!

Feeling a bit panicked as have 1.5 year old and hubby away a lot - wondering how will cope with 2 alone!!!

Yes I was also told I wouldn't need to see the doc at all and just made a midwife appt.
When I asked if I need to make a doctors appt. too the receptionist said oh no only if you want to.

I'm 33 and have a DD who is 2.5yo. I am 5 weeks today, due on 31st January.

Hi llama I had no idea what I was meant to do when I found out... I went to docs and she said just to book an appointment with the midwife. You may be able to book on online but that'll depend on your surgery.

Yeah, didn't think I needed to see a doctor but they just told me to ring back in the morning without asking what for. Anyway, remembered seeing a poster in the window of my local pharmacy so just made DH drive us up there to investigate. Had a phone number for community midwife on it so will give that a ring in the morning.
