Due June 2020: Thread 2

[Anny27]

Hi ladies, the old thread was nearly full so i have set this up for when the old one reaches 1000 posts:)

@faybe0988, you might have ovulated later than normal. It happens sometimes and it can be normal. I have had two weeks taken off and another time four whole weeks! This pregnancy two early scans have actually added two weeks. But they didn't want to change my due date and said wait till my 12weeks scan.

11+5!

Anyone craving anything yet?
I wouldn't say I'm craving as such but if i get something in my mind god i HAVE to have it 😂😂

Hi ladies,

I used this forum over ten years ago on my first pregnancy with my little girl, I'm now back it's my 5th pregnancy unfortunately 3 miscarriages so we're so bloody worried I had awful cramps this week, bawled my eyes out thinking here we go again, pain has subsided, now pain has been taken over with diarrhoea

🙈

I have an early scan next Thursday I'll be 8wks3days so I'm hoping this will calm my little mind down, I'm a high risk pregnancy so I'll have the extra scans & app's.... I was on a lot of medication & came off a lot of it last Friday when we found our positive so I'm hoping this is what's caused the diarrhoea.... I'll be 40 next month so this will be our last chance in extending our little family x

7wks4days due 22/06/2020

@Zoey92 I'm craving anything sweet, fizzy sweets, bake well tarts, birthday cake/Victoria sponge😂😂 not great for weight gain lol, apparently sweeter cravings is a sign of a girl but we'll see!

@Dalulu congratulations! Sorry about your miscarriages, my early scan at 8+5 was so lovely and really reassured me so hopefully the same for you x

10+0

@nownotokay

That's what I was thinking, I wasnt doing ovulation tests so woudnt know for sure. Thankyou for your comment.

Hi ladies, just signed up to this as feel I need some support! My nausea has been constant from 5w+3 and it’s pretty constant from morning till night. Headaches started this week ( I’m 9w+4 today) I got very tearful with my other half yesterday having come home from work for the second time and also had 3 days off last week. I know there’s people who have it a lot worse but constant nausea and headaches have left me feeling like I can’t do anything more than lay on the sofa all day. Even having a shower feels like an effort right now. Any advice or words of wisdom? It’s my first pregnancy and I’m super happy about it but this is definitely taking the edge off my excitement

@sarahlounich so sorry to hear your feeling so rough but congratulations and welcome.
I haven't had the headaches but have had terrible nausea/ vomiting which has meant I've been off work for the past 2 1/2 weeks as unable to get out of bed except to visit the loo. I would definitely talk to your doctor about how your feeling and don't push yourself too much. If you are able to take some time off work, just until your symptoms get a bit better which should be in the next couple of weeks. Make sure your keeping your blood sugar in check by eating regularly (as able) as this is what I've found made my nausea a lot worse. Showers are a big struggle for me and washing my hair nearly makes me pass out. Just remember it's all worth it in the end and we are all here for you if you need to vent 🙂

@sarahlounich don't feel guilty about taking time off. I think it's more common than you realise! I'm 10+ 5 and in the past two weeks have had 2 days sick, one working from home and had to get home halfway through one day. Mine was mainly due to vomitting but headaches keep appearing too!

Just listen to your body, take it as easy as you can and seek medical help if it gets too much. I had a good cry the other day as I was exhausted from feeling so crappy all the time, luckily it's eased off a little these past 3 days which I'm grateful for, hopefully yours will soon too :)

Also, ice lollies, best thing ever!

@sarahlounich I hope you feel better soon it does get better 🤞 and all the other ladies feeling rubbish!

the insomnia is so annoying at the moment! 3rd night I've woken up at 3:30 and not been able to get back to sleep!

10+2

Has anyone else not had their 12wk scan appointment through yet?
I’ll be 11+2 at my booking appointment next week and no scan booked yet!!!
My OH is desperate to tell people but I want the scan before telling more

@MrsJKK I've not had mine through yet, but then my booking appointment isn't until the 19th when I'll be 10+1.
I do have an early scan today as I had a mc in April so wanted to book a private one.

No scan appointment yet. I'm just happy for nothing to happen and the days to tick by as I know the further along, the less chance of miscarriage. However I did have an early scan due to pain.

Had my private scan! It went well I am so relieved, I know I'll be worrying through the whole pregnancy but just knowing there is going to be a pregnancy is a relief.
I was dated 4 days ahead of where I thought I was, although it may change at the 12 week mark.

9+3

That's great @smifette so pleased for you. Need some advice guys. My friend just got engaged and is already planning hen do. I have told a few close friends and family I'm pregnant but hesitant to tell loads in case something goes wrong. However she wants to go to Amsterdam in May. Should I tell her? She doesn't know my other friends but I feel I'm telling more and more people and the pressure of so many people knowing is a bit worrying in case we get bad news.

Ahhh i am so tired today, up at 8am i was nappin by 12, can barely stay awake now 😂🤦‍♀️ nauseais hovvering abit today but i managed abit of sunday dinner. How is everyone?
@Smiffette im pleased your scan went well

Thanks @Zoey92

Thanks @peetieswie if I were you I wouldn't mention it. Or just say you've got a lot on in May so can't commit. If they are flying you wouldn't be able to fly then anyway I don't think.

Glad your scan went well @Smiffette
Soo tired today. Had a really busy day yesterday and felt particularly sick last night, didn't sleep well at all and DS was up crying between 5&6. Currently sitting in the car as he fell asleep, so getting a bit of a rest now.
8+5

Thank you @Cornishbumpkin @Lemonysherbet @AmyMaria2 for your words of wisdom! Feeling a bit better today, dragged myself up and out to my sisters for a bit!

I’ve got my booking appointment with the midwife on Thursday and then we get referred to the hospital for our scan .... I just wanna know everything’s ok! We had a private scan done but I was only 6+3...:saw a flicking heart beat but that was about it. Bring on 12 weeks .... fingers crossed!

@Smiffette I’d put it off for a few more weeks until you want to tell people....I'm avoiding anyone and everyone at the moment!

Hi all, I'm 8+4 and OMG the time is dragging!!

This is my 2nd pregnancy my DS is 4.

I've been unwell all week with mild flu, plus
cramps, majorly bloated, headaches and exhaustion.

I'm so scared something bad is going to happen, I just want the scan and to hit the 12 weeks but feels like forever away

I only got referred last Thursday so haven't had my booking appointment yet.

Has anyone got a huge bump already?? I know I'm bloated but the bump doesn't go down, I'm struggling with what to wear to hide it from people. I've attached a pic, has anyone else got a big bump like this?

@HayleyD84 im 8wks tomorrow i usually pop like this on a night time 😂 my nausea was soooo bad 2wks ago, but my tiredness has ramped itself up today I AM SHATTERD 😐🤦‍♀️ ive got my scan 11th December i feel like im on edge till then too x

@peetieswie i told my friend straight away as im ment to be maid of honour 25th july, i should be due about 20/23rd june 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ shes a friend of 20+years i told her I'd play it by ear, id like to still be there but we shall see x

@HayleyD84 my arse grew by a lot. So I no longer zip up my coat as that makes my bump pop out. This is the fourth pregnancy I reached this long. So yes, my stomach muscle are stretched. Dsis in law said few weeks back that I was showing .

@HayleyD84 Im so glad you raised this. I feel huge. Can't button up my coats and get so much bigger in the evenings. The nausea comes and goes but acupressure wrist bands have been a life saver.

My Sister guessed I was pregnant when she seen my belly and Im only 9+3, was 8 weeks then.

Ive had a scan at 8 weeks and was pretty happy to see a heartbeat because this is the furthest Ive got, but last night a friend who didn't know I was pregnant told me she had a 9 weeks scan, heartbeat all present but she miscarried at 12 weeks. I could sleep at all with worry. Bit calmer today but still feel like 2.5 weeks is a long wait to the next scan.

Hope you all feel better ladies. Soon we'll be able to enjoy the pregnancy

My jeans definitely don't fit by the afternoon and they're pretty tight by the morning 😂

Just came on to say that Dorothy Perkins have a sale on their summer maternity clothes and 25% off non sale items. Understand people won't want to buy stuff yet just thought it was worth a mention as if its as hot next year as it was this year we're gonna need some nice light clothes!

@HayleyD84 yes I'm 10+4, feel massive already I'm in leggings most the time or pjs lol. X
