Hi everyone! I can't find a May 2020 group yet. Most of you don't even know you're expecting yet. I'm due May 1st and got my bfp on 9 dpo. So I'm only 3 weeks 3 days. I feel like I may be lonely in here for a little while.
Looking forward to being joined by other mummies to be :)
This is my 3rd pregnancy. 1st was 7 years ago and I have a 7 year old son. 2nd was 5 years ago which ended in a m/c feeling positive for my rainbow.

@jaysnr and @Festivecheeseandcrackers I've asked the admin on the facebook group to change the description 😊

@FirstTimeMama91 i reckon 3+ would show up around 5-6 weeks, I got mine at 5 weeks exactly. How far will you be at your scan? I want to get one but gp told me 8 weeks, I think you can get them privately from 6 weeks though?

mintbear · 03/09/2019 07:02

@FirstTimeMama91
I did a CB test yesterday that showed up as 3+weeks and I think I'm 5weeks today.

Symptoms I'm experiencing: sore/tender boobs (occasionally my nipples turn into rocks), cramping, gas/tummy pain, tearful and the most exhausted I've ever felt. I'm starting to get fussy with food and feel a little queasy but I don't think I've got morning sickness.

I've started to swim a lot more, I'm aiming to go at least every other day, I find it really relaxing and I can get into my thoughts when I'm in the water if that makes sense.

FirstTimeMama91 · 03/09/2019 07:02

@Doris19 I might try one at the weekend I'll be 6+3Smile at the scan I'll e 6+2, I'm getting it at the EPU because of previous mcs. Yes Mothercare and window of the womb do scans too

FirstTimeMama91 · 03/09/2019 07:04

Thanks @mintbear I'll deff do one st the weekend. Swimming is a good idea 👌🏻

mininionsteve · 03/09/2019 07:07

@FirstTimeMama91 so far I've had sore boobs, a kind of constant headache, beginnings of a sore throat. I pee a lot and sort of feel foggy. Was up early today and feel ok. Hoping they'll all creep back in through the day.

So hard to not over analyse every little thing. I may have to pay out for a scan if I make it past 7 weeks!

Morning ladies,
I'm so excited to be able to join this chat - I got my BFP on 30th August. After 18 months of not ovulating I can't believe we were so lucky to fall first time and without any medication.
Im 4+3 with an EDD of 10th May. Will be our 2nd - DD has just turned 3.
I'm so much more nervous already this pregnancy as I've had a lot of friends who have experienced early miscarriages. Looking to get a private scan at 7weeks. x

Doris19 · 03/09/2019 08:19

Hi @Flashback2009
That's amazing, congrats! I'm going to get a private scan too following an early mc in May. I also got a beta hcg done by my gp, waiting for the results...

For those interested in the Facebook group it is secret, only members can see who is in it, although anyone can find it and see the description. Search for May flowers 💐
@jaysnr @Festivecheeseandcrackers @FirstTimeMama91

Sorry if I forgot anyone! X

Flashback2009 · 03/09/2019 08:35

Thanks @Doris19

I'd love to join the Facebook group too but it doesn't seem to show up when I search. What's the profile picture of the group? x

Doris19 · 03/09/2019 08:44

Oh gawd 🙈 now it is secret new members have to be invited to join! What's your Facebook name I can add you??

Doris19 · 03/09/2019 08:47

Morning ladies!

I'm here lurking as I'm not quite sure what's happening. I may be pregnant.

We got married on the 9th August and had planned to see how things go; AF was due Sunday, still not arrived. I daren't test!
According to NHS website I could be 4 weeks + 3 days today.

I have some symptoms; constant dull back ache in my lower back (I've never had this before in my life), some cramping although this has stopped now, bloating & exhaustion.

I'm worried that these aren't pg symptoms but stress on returning back to work this week (I'm a teacher)

What should I do?! 

Doris19 · 03/09/2019 09:40

@Flashback2009 admin has updated again and you should be able to find it now!

@newlymarried2019 there's only one thing for it I'm afraid.... test!! 😘🤞

newlymarried2019 · 03/09/2019 09:51

@Doris19 it's not too soon?

Husband isn't convinced I'll be pregnant, he thinks things don't work that fast (clearly in denial) Grin

We've agreed to test on Saturday when he'll be home... it's going to be a long wait until then!!

Doris19 · 03/09/2019 09:55

@newlymarried2019 if it's after your AF due date I would say not too soon at all, the tests these days pick up such low hormone levels you can test several days before AF due. Good luck! Xx

Found it - thanks @Doris19
@newlymarried2019 sounds like you might be seeing 2 lines on that test! That's exactly what happened to me with DD1 - all so quick it was hard to believe. I'm 4+3 today and got a really strong positive at 3+5 so I'd say you're not too early to test at all. Good luck and baby dust to you. x

@Doris19 Thank you! The Facebook group is May Flowers however I'm not sure who can add you?

@Moonstone12 Thank you! What lovely (and funny!) reactions xx

BlueberryPoppy123 · 03/09/2019 18:01

Oh wow I've missed so many posts since I last checked in. Hope to join the Facebook group too if the description is now updated I'll have a search in a bit :)

I am so drained had a 2 hour nap after work. Waited 3 weeks for my Drs app to be told I self refer to midwife which annoyed me so much as I specifically asked if I could self refer and was told I had to see a Dr. Waste of my time. Although Dr said I'm due 27th April.
Referred to midwife today and they say I'm due 29th of April. No-one can deciede on my date so will hopefully get a better date at my scan Saturday can't wait!

Hey everyone, how are you all feeling now? I’ve started to get proper cramps now, fingers crossed it’s a good sign. Nausea still not too bad although changing DD nappy is making me gag!! I still haven’t phoned to make a midwife appointment yet. Are they usually about 8weeks?

Pindlesandneedles · 03/09/2019 18:41

Also I will hopefully join the Facebook group but will wait till after my 12week scan as I really don’t want to risk having a miscarriage conversation with all my random Facebook friends! Hopefully some of you will keep posting on here for a little while yet!
