Hi all,

Anyone due July 2020? Sorry if I've missed a thread, done a quick search and couldn't find one...

DH and I were due to start TTC for #2 in the new year, but haven't been actively not-trying. Well something was just niggling at me over the weekend, I just 'had a feeling' if that makes sense... did an FRER yesterday and there it was! that second pink line...

I'm equal parts excited and batshit scared haha. I've not told DH yet, it's his birthday on Tuesday so going to break it to him then.

hello everyone, I just found out I am pregnant on Friday! Although it was planned I am still in shock just don’t feel real yet, we have been ttc for 5months and feel very lucky to have been able to conceive this time :). I am a first time mummy so this is all very new and exciting!! According to my lmp i am 4 weeks 5days. My symptoms so far are headaches, slight nausea but nothing too bad, tiredness and period pains oh and moodiness but seems to have eased off this week! I do sometimes feel abit spaced out and out of it which I guess is normal? I have my first midwife appointment 16th dec!
I look forward to hearing about everyone’s experiences and sharing this exciting time with you all! :) x

Hi everyone, I’m feeling so so anxious! I think I’m around 6 weeks - working out from the due date calculator. Only symptoms I’ve got so far is bloating, sore boobs and tiredness really! I’ve done 3 tests.. I’ve known only a week and I’m still finding it hard to believe what’s happening! Still waiting a call from a midwife as well??.. should I chase it up again?? I don’t know! I’m so clueless what to do, what to eat - I’m becoming so paranoid!! Help😭😭 xxx

Dafs123 · 19/11/2019 18:04

@RedRobin7 I totally get that feeling of making through another day 😰 would be so lovely to just enjoy this time but scared it could all go away any second. Need to be more positive. We can do this ladies!!

OlivejuiceU2 · 19/11/2019 18:44

Evening ladies, think I am 5 weeks tomorrow. A bit worried my boobs are not as sore today and had some period like pains this evening, not too strong though.

gemf87 · 19/11/2019 18:49

Hi all.

I'm due 07.07.2020. Had an early scan Sunday and they noted a fibroid also so I'm hoping all goes okay 🤞🏼 booking appointment is this Sunday. I will be 8 weeks this Friday (going by my LMP) but the scan measured at 7 weeks today 🤷🏽‍♀️

toomuchteaandcake · 19/11/2019 18:51

@gemf87 the same thing happened to me, just means you ovulated later in the cycle

gemf87 · 19/11/2019 18:51

@OlivejuiceU2... My boobs are on and off with soreness and so is the cramping. It's normal as your body is changing and could also be implantation cramping you're experiencing. Everyone is different so just stay calm x

gemf87 · 19/11/2019 18:52

@toomuchteaandcake ah I see. I was worried baby was growing small as my appetite is so up and down at the minute.

OlivejuiceU2 · 19/11/2019 19:11

Thanks @gemf87 hard not to worry isn’t it. Have been lots calming this time round, just today I worried when my boobs felt less sore.

gemf87 · 19/11/2019 19:14

@OlivejuiceU2 yes it is. Especially if it's your first pregnancy cos you just don't know what's normal or not. I had an early scan Sunday so I'm reassured a little that all is okay. Stay positive and enjoy it.... Even though it's hard at times

surprisenumberfive · 19/11/2019 22:30

Anyones morning sickness started? I say morning past few nights bang on 10pm im feeling queezy and horrible im doing a phoebe from friends lol

Mimi91 · 20/11/2019 07:17

@surprisenumberfive my morning sickness started at 5 weeks and is just constant nausea, but is always worse about an hour after eating. Have a feeling it is going to get worse before it gets better Grin

farmmumtomillie · 20/11/2019 07:29

Yeeeep, last time with my LG (both MC was before 6 weeks) it was constant all day nausea and that was torture! With the occasional head down the toilet moment
This time it hit me hard yesterday at 5+5 with actual sickness and it's not even 7.30 and I'm fighting off being sick already 😭

Wayekalb · 20/11/2019 08:46

Sickness has well and truly got me this morning. Couldn't go to work (teacher) and my moms had to come and sort my other child out. Feeling guilty and rubbish!!!

Julilie72 · 20/11/2019 14:01

Hi all, and congrats to all new pregnant ladies on here! Smile
I'm around 6+2, still feeling very normal..just a bit bloated, and maybe waves of nausea, but nothing major. Also past 2 nights I've been waking up for a wee, and not going back to sleep for ages..

I finally got my appointments letters! Had to reschedule all 3 of them..can't get time off from work without it being suspicious :(
Do you know what the screening/blood test is and does partner need to join for that??
Also I'm gutted, was meant to have 12week scan on 31st December but I will be away, so had to push it back to 3rd Sad

Julilie72 · 20/11/2019 14:09

Oh and also... last week I had sooo much anxiety about MC, wouldn't stop googling every symptom and reading terrifying stuff. Checking everytime I wiped etc..
Well Saturday I went to my boyfriend's sister' baby shower (going to be an auntie very soon!!). There were like 7 babies.. and since then I've completely stopped worrying about everything, and stayed off Google. Just thinking "well it's also very possible that it'll all be fine and I'll have a healthy baby too Grin "

I've also made plans for the evenings and tried to fill up my time.. I feel a hundred times better now!

RedRobin7 · 20/11/2019 15:01

@Julilie72 That's a shame about the 12 week scan being delayed. Did you try to get it earlier rather than later but they couldn't fit you in? I'm 12 weeks on Xmas Day so really hoping to get a scan around 11 weeks rather than early Jan! I'm so anxious about MC I'd rather know before Xmas.

Glad you feel more positive 😊 I would like to be more like that too! My DH has started to get on board with the idea and it's nice he's talking about the baby so I really want things to work out this time!

Bettybird · 20/11/2019 15:20

It seems we are all anxious, at least we all understand! @Julilie72 you’re dealing with it really well I think being busy is the way forward! I’m working from home this week which means far too much time in my head 🙄 @RedRobin7 I’ve been way over analysing my CM colour too, yesterday it was a hint of orangey/pink/brown and that was enough to fly me off the doctors who agreed I could have a beta HCG test! My first came back this morning at 2367 which my reckoning im about 5weeks 3/4days, it’s in the range but lower end - just one more thing to worry about now that it may not be high enough! Go back tomorrow for another. In my head I’d rather know than wait and see - which is difficult at this stage of pregnancy. In the old days we all probably wouldn’t know We were pregnant yet 😂

Rainbow2020 · 20/11/2019 15:26

@RedRobin7 I'm 12 weeks on Xmas day too really hoping I get a scan b4 hand so we can suprise our boy on Xmas morning xx

OlivejuiceU2 · 21/11/2019 08:25

Morning ladies, just wanted to announce I got a 3+ weeks on a digital test this morning. Pretty happy with that as I’m only 5+1 today. Looks like things are on track, fingers crossed

farmmumtomillie · 21/11/2019 08:41

Yay @OlivejuiceU2

I'm 6 weeks today and the morning sickness is very up and down but the exhaustion is baaad

How's everyone else?

Goldington · 21/11/2019 09:19

Morning ladies! My nausea lasts most of the day I generally just feel crap. 7+1 today so whilst I hate feeling crap it’s also quite reassuring!

Has anyone had their 12 scan date through? I’m still waiting for mine. Also, I am still waiting for my notes - the midwife didn’t give them to me at my booking appointment and said they’d be ready to collect sometime this week but heard nothing so far

RedRobin7 · 21/11/2019 11:02

@Goldington Sorry you're feeling so crap! I'm 7+1 today too and feel fairly normal other than sore boobs and occasional bloating. It's hard, if we don't have symptoms we wish for some and when we do we just want to feel normal!

I haven't even heard from a midwife yet. I saw my doctor who gave me the number for the team but because I live between two hospitals I have a preferred one and since my pregnancies last year, my chosen hospital is no longer part of that team I called. So I had to self refer through the hospital's website but not heard anything and there's no contact number. I'll give it until ive had my private 8 week scan on Wednesday and if things are good I'll see how I can chase things up!

Goldington · 21/11/2019 11:55

Funnily enough they text me to tell me my notes will be ready to collect tomorrow morning. Not really sure what happens next though!

Your process sounds confusing Confused hopefully you’ll get some answers soon! I was toying with an early scan but I can’t make my mind up! I think I might wait to hear when my 12 weeks one will be. Hope that all goes well for you!

You’re right about the symptoms - I actually feel much better today than yesterday which now makes me wonder why 🙄 I know symptoms come and go so trying not to get too hung up on it!
