Anyone due August 2020?

[Araz208]

Hey! Just wanted to start up a thread because I couldn’t find another one, just got my BFP today after about 6 months of trying. Due date is 1st august! Still feeling nervous as I’ve had 2 miscarriages in the past but both before 6 weeks, so ill be keeping my fingers crossed and wont let myself get too excited until that deadline has passed!

Hope to hear from other ladies due at the same time, and hear your BFP stories :) xx

I can't stop eating this morning. Woke at 5:30am and couldn't get back to sleep so got up and had 2 Weetabix, then about an hor later I had a bowl of Grape Nuts, then about 20 mins ago I had another 2 Weetabix.

I also laughed and cried at the same time watching Cunk & Other Humans. I don't think I've ever done that before!

I forgot about the 2 satsumas and the mini Toblerone from my advent calendar...

hey everyone, been lurking recently but still hanging around here as well as the FB post.

7+1 today and I'm struggling so badly with nausea and heartburn. I'm working from home today and achieving very little as all I want to do is go to bed/lie down. Been trying to eat little and often but doesn't seem to be helping. I've also had really bad cravings for salt and vinegar crisps

how is everyone else getting on? congrats on those who had their successful early scans!

@NamiSwan I've been feeling so sick which I never had with my daughters pregnancy..the only thing I find is helping is exercise but I found that helped massively last time. The only issue is I'm so sick and tired it's taking everything I have to even get out for a walk 😭😭

Lack of sleep is catching up with me today. I'm a dog walker so do 10-15miles walking a day. Only have a half full day as people are off work and I have no energy or motivation what so ever. Currently sat in my car drinking my third pint of milk on the verge of tears at the thought of being out in the rain for another 3hours. Roll on next week

Tiredness and nausea are causing trouble today. I've not eaten much, I bought a 2nd lunch option at work, because the thought of the first one made my stomach turn 🤢 and then I couldn't face the 2nd option either. So I have a clementine and a few slices of apple.

I can't wait to finish work and go home to bed!

😩😩😩

How far along are those of you feeling sick? I’m 6+2 or 3 and had very slight nausea (which may be in my head) but not affecting eating really!

So I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and started feeling really sick the last couple of days, I can't remember feeling like this with my other pregnancies, but I probably did. I never actually got sick with my previous pregnancies apart from once near the end of the pregnancy but that was from horrific heartburn rather than morning sickness. We're doing well with not telling anyone so far. We went on a family night out and I faked drinking all night (had tonic but told everyone it was G&T) and even got a taxi home at the end even though I could have driven us, so don't think anyone has any suspicions. I've got a night out this Friday with friends but we're going for a meal to a bring your own place, I'm bringing Vodka, but will replace it with water, so it looks like I'm drinking but won't be. I'm going to bring two small bottles one with water one with vodka, so if anyone I'm with wants one I can give them the real stuff. If we go anywhere after I'm just going to say I feel really full and can't face anything but water as I feel a bit sick. We've got a scan booked on the 27th December when I'll be 8+2 so we'll tell close friends and family then.

I’m also really struggling with the sickness and nausea. It’s been a long day at work today! Swapped my usual lunch for a cheese sandwich as I needed something plain! Also craving ready salted crisps and watermelon all the time...

@Cinnamon18 I have also found nausea disappears when I am active... but really struggling to do anything at the moment. Was supposed to go to a yoga class on my lunchbreak today and instead (as I'm working from home) I went to bed and had a nap. Had booked in for a spin class tomorrow but may have to cancel as the Wednesday class is very intense. I tried to do a run yesterday on the treadmill in the gym and had to stop half way through and walk! I usually run 3-5 miles, 3x a week so to not be able to manage a 5k run on the treadmill was a bit of a shock!

@MaisieMolly I'm 7+1 today, sickness started around 5+5 but only really got bad the last few days. Haven't been sick as such but lots of nausea and over the past couple of days lots of retching too.. it's so gross.

I can't remember my morning sickness being this bad with my previous pregnancies but I'm sure I've just forgotten as they were 4/6 years ago!

I thought I was getting nauseous the past couple of days, but nothing today. And boobs not as painful. My body is playing mind games with me 😡

I just need some definitive strong symptoms and I'll feel much more positive. Come on baby!! You're our fourth time lucky rainbow! There WILL be a super strong heartbeat on Friday. There WILL be a super strong heartbeat on Friday...

Good luck on Friday @frazzlerock.

I’m still not really getting any symptoms either and starting to get paranoid about having a MC when I’m abroad visiting my parents for Christmas. Any ideas on how to quiet the anxiety? I know there’s nothing I can do about it but it’s driving me mad.

I had a day or two of nausea late last week/early weekend and then disappeared and had the panics like you @Frazzlerock but today, oh my I am definitely feeling it. I’m 6+6 today and not only am I super hungry but it is then causing nausea. Other thing is, today in particular my sense of smell has gone up a notch and some smells are just grim! Got on the train and a man in front was eating some tikka chicken bites and I have been mouth breathing since. Bleugh

@Maisiemolly I wouldn’t worry at your stage, it’s coming, mine was minor until today so I am now worried about it stepping up a notch as I am very vocal with my facial expressions to bad smells. Someone’s lunch stank in the office today and took all my will to keep quiet as it’s just a normal lunch for them!

Hi everyone. Can I join?
I got my BFP on Friday at 11dpo but wanted to wait until I was officially late to join the pregnancy boards.
Not sure on my due date as by dates I'm 4+5 but I think I'm only 4+1.
This will (hopefully) be my second, my dd is 13.5months.

No symptoms yet. Don't even feel like I'm pregnant if I'm honest! I've used 4 different brands of tests and got bfp on them all so I guess I must be!

Urgh my morning sickness has been awful today done nothing but vomit and had quite loose bowel movements. My sense of smell is through the roof and in a senior care assistant so the smell of poo and pee haunts me all day 😂🙈 so excited for my scan tomorrow!!! I will be 7+6 I think according to the app, so exciting.

How is everyone today???

Good luck tomorrow @Firstmummytobe, let us know how it goes.

@crazee that’s a good number of positives! Congratulations. We have just been through this so shout if you want anything. My early symptoms were low, sore boobs, mild cramping but not much else. Late 6 weeks and nausea and food aversions are now kicking in. Don’t worry yet, you’ll get them soon enough!!

When did everyone let midwife/gp know? I'm only 4 weeks.. I feel that it's maybe too early?

@crazee snap with the age gap! I have a DD who is just 14 months. Will be fun chasing them around as we are tired and nauseous!

I have to self refer where I live and they make you wait until 6 weeks- you have to put your LMP date in and the date you had a first positive pregnancy test. Then you have to check your junk mail as they might email you and you not check it!!! Mind you I haven't got much time to think about it right now. I'm just glad I'm not being sick as I've got a 27 hour week at work. Which doesn't sound a lot, but with my daughter inbetween etc it gets tiring!

So I posted this on the pregnancy thread, so copying below....(i dont know if you already have a FB group, but if you do can I be added to it please) i feel im rambling now so please see the below post, I'm sorry, my head is a mess right now...

Well hello everyone...

Today I found out I am 5 weeks pregnant, I had my little girl in March this year. Its safe to say i feel a bit lose for words. This pregnancy was not planned and we were so careful. In my previous pregnancy, we werent actively trying but if it happened it happened and we were delighted.

To be honest, I am terrified. I'm so scared, will I cope, how will i deal with it? If I return to work and then tell them I'm pregnant what happens will I still I recieve my companies maternity pay? In my contract it states I have to be previously employed for 26 weeks by the company to be entitled to the mat pay! I've been their since Nov 2014. Does anyone know if I qualify for this or do I not as I've been employed but on maternity pay? I've emailed HR but I'm going to call tomorrow as I'm a worrier and I can't sit around waiting for an email. I'd rather go back sooner to save more money. My manager isnt nice and I'm just so scared to tell her. I know I shouldn't be, I'm 26 ffs but she has this power over our team and I'm so scared...

I know women have trouble getting pregnant so I do feel guilty. It's not a question in my mind to keep the baby but I'm just terrified. I have an amazing partner and family. I know we will be ok but i am just so scared - financial, copying with 2 under 2 and my work...

I wanted some reassurance or any guidance from any of you lovely ladies. I am currently in a group on Facebook who I met through here for the babies who were born in March 2019, so if any of you are due then I'd be happy to set a group up. All the ladies are very supportive and lovely, so it would be great to have that network again.

Thanks in advance, all my love....

@kbr1986 yes it will be hard work! And 2 under 2 won't be easy either I bet! But worth it! My DD isn't walking yet so lots of bending and carrying her, and I had horrific pelvic pain in my last pregnancy so hope it's not too bad this time. I was on crutches last time

I'm finding it so hard to keep it a secret!! I want to keep it to ourselves as long as possible this time (16 weeks if I can, but at least 12) but I want to tell my best friend! I have no close family to tell so she's the closest I've got to family of my own now really. I'm seeing her tomorrow. She's pregnant too and it would be lovely to share it with her. If I wait until even 12 weeks she will have already given birth. I might end up telling her tomorrow!! What's everyone else doing about telling their closest family/friends?

Ive been having a lot of spotting this eve in addition to the cramping iv had for the last 2wks. Phoned 111 who sent me to an out of hours clinic (just left now). Been booked in for a scan at the gynae assessment unit tomorrow morning. Trying to stay positive..

@blackpinkinyourarea ah that must be so stressful. You poor thing. Have everything crossed for you lovely what times your scan?

@blackpinkinyourarea please let us know how you get on. I really hope this is just a scare. Thinking of you xx

@Pebs19xo welcome to the group. I would say you are entitled to mat pay as you're still employed, despite being off on maternity leave.
HR will be able to advise you more.

@crazee I can't see the point in keeping it a big secret. If anything goes wrong, you'd want your friends and family to be there for you.
I have told a few people who I see everyday and my mum and sister. DP's dad and step mum, and his sister know too. Thing is everyone knows our struggles over the past 4 years so they know we are desperate for an actual living baby, and I'm very open about stuff so it made sense to me to tell people.
I've a group of 'mum' friends in the village I live in and I've only told one, but she cuts my hair so I told her as I was seeing her face to face. The others I'm hoping to tell by sharing our scan photo on Friday in our messenger group.

I was feeling pretty sick last night and left boob had shooting pains, then I had a horrid acid reflux so I'm going to be positive today.

Does anyone have an idea of whether they are having a boy or girl? I guessed correctly with my two DS. I had the same strong feeling our first lost baby was a girl so I always refer to her as 'she'. Our 2nd baby we lost too early so I've no idea what sex they were. But our third lost baby I also guessed correctly and when the results of the death came back, they told us we had a little boy and I was spot on so I'm thinking my intuition is quite strong!

This time I have had a really strong feeling this one is a girl. Something else that makes me wonder is the acid reflux, I never had that with my boys.

I could be very wrong and just been lucky everytime...

I meant to say @Firstmummytobe huge luck for your scan today. Please let us know how you get on!
I LOVE your positivity btw, I need some of that
