I thought I’d start this thread now as I can’t see one yet! I got my bfp this weekend on a digital and estimate my due date to be 1st of July, but I have long cycles so I’m anticipating it changing at a dating scan. Anyone else with me for end of June or beginning of July 2018?

Hi Kate. That’s so exciting, congratulations. You must be so thrilled after such a long wait. We have a little boy who is about to turn 1 and wanted a really small gap. He was our third month lucky and so was this bfp, so I’m still a little shocked that I’ll be having 2 under 2, ahh!! Is this your first?

Very thrilled :) we've just finished having all our tests done and were due to have a consultation end of November so it's nice not to have to bother with all that now! 2 in under 2 years is ace! My brother in law and his wife had 2 boys in under 2 years, the small age gap is lovely. Are you secretly hoping for a girl or just happy with either?

Oh that’s wonderful timing then! I’m so pleased for you. Yeah Im excited, it will be hard work though. No I think probably happy with either, last time I wanted a boy but this time I’d happily have a girl too, we did find out at 20weeks last time but we will leave this one as a surprise! I’m thinking about booking an early scan for 7/8 weeks as I don’t think I can make it to 12. With my first I bled a lot so I had scans at 6 and 8 weeks, it was nice to have the reassurance really and broke up the loooonnggg wait..

Hey HarryPotterandtheSAHM and KateB2016 I got my BFP this morning, due date estimated the 5th of July.
This will be our 2nd, have dd 3.

Enwi · 21/10/2017 18:56

Can I join please? Grin
I’m on the June thread too as according to all the calculators my due date is 26th June but I have a long cycle so have a feeling it might be July!
Congratulations everyone x

noimagination80 · 21/10/2017 19:26

Hi Enwi, my first was 3weeks early, so should probably be in the June group too Grin

Enwi · 21/10/2017 19:47

I am so excited/anxious/restless I think the bigger the support network the better Grin

Harry - yes we were thinking of having an early scan as well! 8 weeks for the first scan is waaaay too long! Dying to tell peoole too but wouldn't dare until 12 weeks or the first scan. I don't think we'd be patient enough to not find out the sex! Would be so exciting to leave it until the birth though :)

KateB2016 · 21/10/2017 19:57

Hi Enwi and Noimagination80! Congrats on your pregnancies! :)

KateB2016 · 21/10/2017 19:58

Enwi is this your first?

Enwi · 21/10/2017 20:11

Yes it is. We started trying 10 months ago and were a bit naive about how long it would take.

KateB2016 · 21/10/2017 20:33

Yeah we did too. Feels a long time doesn't it each month that goes by? Now it'll just be the next 8 months that drags haha.

Enwi · 21/10/2017 21:21

Haha I know what you mean! Honestly I’m most excited to just get out of the first trimester so (hopefully) I can relax a little bit. I’m also very excited to share the news with my family and friends x

Hello and congratulations!! So exciting to have you here 😊 I think my date might fall between 29th June and 1st July too but I was overdue last time so I’m gambling with a July birth date I think. How are you all feeling, any symptoms? I’m already exhausted and having headaches :( so far no sickness. I had HG last time from 6 weeks so fully expecting it soon but enjoying food while I can

Hello all! Can I join? Due 1st July, first baby 😁

KateB2016 · 21/10/2017 23:13

Very sore boobs do far! Other than that nothing! You?

Enwi · 22/10/2017 07:14

The only symptoms I’ve really been getting are stomach cramps since about 3 weeks 4 days (before I even knew I was pregnant)
Other than just tiredness x

KateB2016 · 22/10/2017 08:05

Hi willieowinsbury! Congrats :) and welcome!

Has anyone had first Drs appointment yet? Hoping to book mine this week

Enwi · 22/10/2017 08:32

My first appointment is tomorrow morning and I will be 4 weeks 6 days x

Twickerhun · 22/10/2017 08:35

Can I join? Due date 1st July. My due date is pretty fixed as we had ivf. This would be dc2 for me.

Twickerhun · 22/10/2017 08:42

Is anyone else feeling really breathless? I feel like I have no lung capacity.

KateB2016 · 22/10/2017 09:04

Enwi I think you're exactly a week ahead of me :)

Hi Twickerhun. Congrats! Not breathless as in out of breath but I have noticed my asthma has been worse this past week, no idea if that's linked to being pregnant or not though!

Willieowinsbury · 22/10/2017 11:40

Stomach cramps, bloating, and sore at the sides of my boobs. The cramps are pretty scary but my friend had them for the whole first trimester so I'm trying not to psych myself out! Congrats to everyone.
