First babies due August 2018

[ActualMermaid]

Hi all! Found out a couple of weeks ago I’m pregnant with my first baby! This is all very new to me, so just looking to see if anyone is in the same boat.

I turn 25 in a couple of weeks, DP and I have been engaged 2.5 years and we started trying very casually back in March. We are both totally over the moon and have first midwife appointment a week today!

According to NHS due date calculator I am 7 weeks today, and due 16th August. I’m feeling good, very nauseous in the mornings as soon as I open my eyes, and my breasts are tender but not too bad!

Would love to hear about any of your little August babies, compare symptoms, and especially share any question ideas to ask the midwife on your first appointment? I’m currently wondering about what over the counter medications are safe if I feel unwell, and what differences I should expect as a slightly overweight mum to be.

Hi ActualMermaid, I'm due August 14th which will be my first. I'm nauseous, shattered and achy boobs and I relish every moment of it as a sign all is well as I've had two MCs after a couple of years of trying. I had my first EP scan at 7 weeks and we could see the little flutter of the heartbeat which sent me over the edge 💓 I'm sucking on peppermints to ty and ease the nausea and generally just nibbling all day to keep off the hunger which seems to bring on the nausea.

Hi both. I'm due my first child on 13th August. Not had any scans yet. 12 week scan due on 29th Jan.
Boobs ache, have been very emotional but now suffering with hyperemesis gravidarum so have been off work!

Hey! I'm with you!
First baby due 24th August!

Lots of morning sickness and tiredness.. had a miscarriage in October, pregnant again super fast, but constantly worrying!

Roll on 1st scan!!

So sorry ladies, this post went a couple of days without responses so I stopped checking and totally missed these!

How are you all getting on?? Have you had your scans yet? I’m 12 weeks tomorrow and have my scan on the 8th! So excited and nervous! Feeling quite guilty as I’ve had a few early finishes from work recently due to the sickness and exhaustion... Really hoping it eases soon!

If any of you are still getting notifications for this thread, I hope all is well with your little ones. We had a surprise little boy and I couldn’t love him more. I was induced a week early due to pre-eclampsia and he arrived on 10th August.

Have you seen the August thread?? X
