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

Hi everyone!
I wanted to share my story it’s you all as I also need some advice...
I fell pregnant in January of this year to my ex partener, (we were not together anymore.) I realised that our relationship was dull and that also I had feelings for a very old friend. I ended up being around 11 weeks before I was basically forced by my parteners mother to have an abortion, I was only 18 at the time, I had to have the suction operation and went through trauma and never regretted it more. Anyway as that passed I almost instantly ended up starting to spend time with the friend who’s name I won’t mention. He treats me like an utter diamond, would do anything for me and we have now been dating for around 5 -6 months, we live together and are absolutely besotted with each other.

On the 20/11/2019 I took a pregnancy test as my period was late and there we have it, that second pink line!!!
From the date of my last period, apparently I am 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant, which I am really happy and excited about!!
That takes my due date to August 1st.
However my boyfriend didn’t react the same, he’s been telling me that he isn’t ready for a baby and he doesn’t think it will work, but has been so supportive and has promised to stick by me no matter what, but also made a bit of a comment that basically meant I was going to ruin his life if I continued with the pregnancy.

When I wake up some morning he is rubbing or holding my stomach, and I think he is completely in two minds.

I don’t want to terminate for the wrong reasons again, as I have never really gotten over the last time. This is making me so excited to go to midwife appointments and scans and kick start my pregnancy.

Any advice on what you think I should tell me boyfriend?! My mum knows and is very supportive as I am only 19, (quite a mature 19,) however his mum is unaware as of now.

Baby dust and good luck to all the mums on this thread due in august!!! I can’t wait to hear of all of your amazing BPF stories!!!

Hi all got my pfp on Wednesday clear blue digital says 1-2 so due 6th August bby no5 lol feeling rather moody n lower bac cramps but that's it just really not sunk in that I'm actually pregnant anyone feel same

@sezzywoowoo21 hi congrats on your bfp! we have the same estimated due date i found out on thursday with a frer, and this morning used a clear blue which says 1-2wks! i wanted to wait a few days to make sure the hcg levels were high enough. Im feeling no symptoms apart from a constant low level headache, and bloated but i tend to get that anyway. It feels very unreal, just like youre feeling! Will be ringing the docs on monday to get an appointment booked in, what about you?

Congratulations..few cramps but nothing major really called midwife to let them no but won't see anyone till I'm 11wks so a long hard wait now not tellin anyone till 12wks as don't want kids worrying lol

I've only gone and booked myself in for a. Early scan on 29th December I cannot help myself 😂 when has everyone got their first midwife appointment? Mine is on the 2nd Jan. I'll be almost 9 weeks x

are you supposed to call your gp, get an apt with them and then let them book you in with the midwife or do it yourself? I really have no clue haha..do you just ring the maternity ward at the nearest hosp?! My docs never has any appointments so feel like if i go with the former option il be waiting until at least after xmas to just see the doctor!

Mothertoone2..congrats on pfp haha I don't blame u I would like early scan too as it really not sinking in lol..I get to see midwife wen I'm 11wks so got a while until it all becomes real

Blackpinkinyourarea...iv not called gp just phoned maternity unit like u say b waitin forever to see a doc

@Firstmummytobe tell your boyfriend that it's time to get his head straight because come August, all going well, he'll have a baby to raise.

@sezzywoowoo21 @blackpinkinyourarea congrats!

I originally tested on Tuesday and got 1-2 weeks on clear blue and retested on Friday and it was already gone up to 2-3 weeks at 15dpo is that about right does anyone know? I'm taking it as a good sign anyway!

My boobs are starting to get off the chain painful, anyone else?

@girlinglasses congrats ooh I'm not sure I keep wanting to test again lol.. sure it shows everything good if weeks goin up higher hormone level

Ahhhh just you saying that excites me! Deep down I’ve always wanted to be a young mum. Anybody else been having really bad heart burn? I’m also feeling trapped wind like pains eeeek

Got my BFP this morning, still in shock!

Due 5th August!

@lkw91 congrats huni there is a few of us now ..Yes firstmummytobe Always got heartburn and period cramps and so hungry today eekk

So exciting!!! Literally counting down the days until my midwife appointment and scans so I can see my little baba!
It still doesn’t seem real! @Lkw91
Congratulations!!! We’re all In This together!

Can I join 🙋‍♀️
I’m pregnant with number 4 and calculate I’m due 3rd August
X

Congratulations everyone

I keep thinking it's not real

Also did anyone who's been trying for a few months not get that massive wave of excitement when they got the BFP?

I got a strange feeling of I knew it, I knew I felt different.

I am very excited btw everyone hahah

I just think it's a odd feeling when you see the negative tests and then getting the BFP

I feel like it's a bit surreal dunno why

So many of us due in August!

How soon has everyone contacted the midwife/doctor to arrange a booking in appointment?

I’m not sure when to phone up. With my previous 3 pregnancies I think I phoned straight away, but the last time I was pregnant was nearly 6 years ago so feels like a lifetime ago!

I feel too nervous to treat this pregnancy like it’s really happening. Terrified that something will go wrong as soon as I book in.

I’m still testing like a mad thing every day!

Also is anyone else here on the older side? I’m 37 and this will be my fourth baby and fourth c section so slightly apprehensive about that too!

I think I’m going to go to the doctors next week as ideally I’d like my booking in appointment before Christmas school holidays (don’t want my other children to find our yet)

I’m also on the older side, 36. My other children are 1 (almost 2), 5 and 8

@Moominmiss I’m on the older side too, 36, and this is my first. I’m single mother by choice too so no one really to share the joy with fully. Think there will be a lot of that going forward but it was a choice I made. Luckily got loads of you guys to share it with on here. Be funny when some later August people join and we’ll be further along and able to give them advice like pro’s ;-)

I'll a single mother by choice as well @Jojo19834

Happy BFPs to everyone! August 2020 will be a very busy month all being well!

I called straight away, probably too much excitment!!!

My first midwife appointment is the 23rd December, what a Christmas present haha!! Never thought I’d be going to one of them for a while but Deep down I’m so excited.

Heyy, congratulations to everyone, I got my bfp yesterday due 8th August! Is there any time of group chat going on? Or would anyone be interested in joining one? Noone knows that in pregnant and it's horrible having noone to talk to

Hey everyone, ive been off a few days, soo happy to come back on and see so many BFPs!! Hope everyone is doing ok, nausea has begun so ive not been eating much, feel constantly thirsty and really bad sleep waking all through the night, which is very unusual for me!! How are people’s symptoms so far? I took peoples advice from here and tried to register with a new GP but ive been told that can take up to 4 weeks until they can see me, which would make me 9 weeks before they even book me in with the midwife! Still they told me i just need to wait and theyll get me an urgent appointment, so i guess theres not a lot I can do - id just like to know ive got a date to look forward to, and be able to actually speak to a health professional and get some face to face advice!

@Lucylou22039 I do know what you mean. I was really excited when the test was positive but I already suspected I was pregnant. I'd not done any pregnancy tests in the 7 months we'd been trying just waited for my AF. So if gelt like a big step to take a test and I ended up texting a friend to give me the courage to test. My DH was wanting my to wait until I was 5 day late. I ended up testing at 3days late.

Anyone told people and then regretted it?
We're with my DH family this weekend and also going on holiday with them next week. It's hard to keep it secret. Initially I thought well if I'd tell them I've had a MC I'd tell them I'm pregnant. Because of this my DH told his mum and as he was telling I was instantly regretting it think it might jinx things! 🤦‍♀️

I'm also 37 and my DH is 40 this is 1st child for both of us.

Xx

@Araz208 I've been sleeping badly too and feeling really tired. It gets to 8pm and just need to sleep and then awake at 4am!

Congratulations on everyone's BFPs. This seems like a really nice group to support each other over some exciting and sometimes scary months! Xx
