Does anyone want to start a thread for people due the end of May? I miss having people to chat to on the conception boards!

I'm 31, this will be dc#1 and i got my bfp on Sunday which was cycle 9!

@BecauseItIz Congratulations to you too!

So far not too bad. I don't feel like eating much but when i don't i feel sick. And i'm quite tired! Beginning of this weeks my boobs were so painful but that seems to have gone now thankfully.

How about you? Have you told people yet or are you keeping it to yourself until your first scan?

I'm due end of May too, can I join?

5+5 today and have v sore boobs, a bit of cramping and am exhausted from 6pm onwards. No nausea yet, but this is DC2 for me and I had no nausea this time around.

This time is so tough isn't it cos you've no idea what's going on inside and it's weeks away to the first scan/ midwife appointment!

Dullblue · 27/09/2019 12:54

Ooh ill join!
Got my BFP today. Online calcs say due 31st may!... 4+5 today x

hi @herewegoagain20 i'm 5+7 (can that be right? tomorrow will be 6 weeks i guess) so we're super close!Glad to have you as you can give me some insight as it's your second. I had really sore boobs and cramping at the start of the week. Today i feel really sick :(

@Dullblue Congratulations! Mine says 30th of May so we might even end up the same day!

@herewegoagain20 I had really bad cramping and lower back pain weeks 4 & 5. That's great you have no nausea hopefully that continues for you.

@mumofbun I have told my sister's. I had to go to the epu on Wednesday as I had bad pain and slight bleed when I wiped. I saw the heart beat which was amazing! And I'm very happy there was only one haha. I have a small haematoma but I'm hoping my body absorbs it.

I still have sore boobs and nausea. Also I'm constipated, I had it last time too. Sorry you're feeling sick today. I think the symptoms really kick in about 6 weeks.

BecauseItIz · 27/09/2019 14:04

Congratulations! @Dullblue

BelfastNonBlonde · 27/09/2019 14:07

Hey! I’m around 6+2. No symptoms anymore, and only cramping and sore boobs up until a week or so ago. Touching wood it stays like this!
Would love a scan to see what’s going on in there and for a bit of reassurance that there is def something cooking!

Hi, if you're looking for people due in May, there are 2 threads in the antenatal boards xx

Raindancer411 · 27/09/2019 14:57

I took a test last night and confirmed pregnant. Going back dates it will be end of May. It will be my second and my anxiety has sadly kicked in :(

Dullblue · 27/09/2019 15:39

Im still in shock! I honestly did not think it would happen this quickly.

Excited as its our first, but absolutely bricking it 😂😂😂

@lovepositivity sorry if i've done the wrong thing! i had a search and didn't find anything so made this one just to get a little gang together. Never been in the pregnancy section before so didn't even know there was a specific place.

@BelfastNonBlonde hoping you don't get any horrible symptoms! I'm hoping this sicky feeling goes soon or is a one day thing.

@Dullblue Our first too! no idea what to expect!

@Raindancer411 sorry to hear about your anxiety. I've had it in the past, hoping it doesn't rear it's head again! do you have any coping techniques you can revert to?

@BecauseItIz i forgot about constipation - was up in the middle of the night because of it!

I try to use the distraction technique that my other half suggested. You concentrate on the feel under your feet or bottom to ground you. I had it for years but it comes and goes and so far hasn't gone for a good few years.

sao81 · 27/09/2019 16:06

Hii🙋‍♀️ due around May 28th, so just over 5 weeks gone now. Although today I've been getting some sharp pains in my lower tummy, anyone else had this?

Raindancer411 · 27/09/2019 16:10

Yes I have and now feeling sick all the time. Plus my sense of smell is over the top!! At school pick up I felt I was engulfed in it from people and it doesn't help with the sick feeling.

sao81 · 27/09/2019 16:35

@Raindancer411 I get this when my little girl eats monster munch 🙈 makes me bork

Hope everyone is doing ok?

Still no sickness for me, but definite aversions to some food. Weirdly I am completely off chocolate and very sweet food. And I usually have a SWEET tooth.

6 weeks today and still getting the odd cramp throughout the day. Can't remember from the last time when that goes away.

What are you guys doing about caffeine (if you still feel like it?). I'm limiting to 1 coffee or 2 teas a day.

Dullblue · 29/09/2019 09:44

Hey @herewegoagain20
I've totally gone off sweet things too! I was a chocolate/biscuit monster, and now the thought of it turns my stomach 🙈
I've got some bouts of nausea, but Ritz crackers are doing the trick. Ive also got some funny cramp like sensations, more like pulling!? Guess stuff is growing, so im taking it as a good sign!
Glad its sunday, so good excuse for a sofa day, and maybe a nap later!

Thanks @mellmumma i will give it a look!

@herewegoagain20 i'm just off food in general, don't fancy anything. I thought i was 6 weeks on Saturday but i called the community midwife unit yesterday and they said i'm between 5 and 6 - the way Flo showed it confused me! Matches up with the digital i did on saturday which said 4-5 weeks.

I've just cut back to 2 max teas or coffess too though it was only occasionally i had more than that anyway. I'm finding coffee is fine but it's after taste is like sick to me so mainly just drinking tea just now!

@Dullblue i've had some of that pulling too! I never knew what people meant when the said that before.

My main symptom is still exhaustion. I had to take yesterday off work as i actually couldn't get up!

Hi @tiredmoma sorry i missed your post yesterday as had a hectic week! I'm feeling a bit queasy but haven't actually been sick. I'm just off food and always feel full and bloated. Off to tell my parents tonight as we are away with ILs at the weekend so will probably need to tell them! Not sure what they will say as it will be their first GC
