How is everyone doing?
I'm feeling pretty normal today which is worrying.
The consultant isn't budging on my scan so it will be when I'm 9+3 if we get that far.
It still feels pretty quiet on here! I'm sure by this point last pregnancy we even had a facebook group 🙈

I'm less breathless, but it might be because I've finished my cold. A little bloated but think I'm just symptom spotting. Just want to get the next few weeks out of the way so I can just get more relaxed about it all.

Yeah same. 5 weeks tomorrow until my scan 😩 Time is going so slowly.

Thank you! Woke up at 4an this morning laughing my head off uncontrollably, never happened to me before I think my hormones are sending me loopy as I've had 3 days of vivid dreams.

Tested again and my little line is getting darker 🤞

Due date would be 9th October x

Hi ladies, how's everyone feeling today? Congratulations on the new BFPs!

I'm feeling fine. Had a bit of a worry the night before last as my boobs suddenly didn't feel very sore, but they seem to be sore again during the day so it might be that it's not as obvious when I'm not wearing a bra. They are getting bigger quickly! It's almost like I've got my old pre-breastfeeding boobs back!! 

I hope everyone is feeling okay.

I'm totally overthinking this way too soon, especially as I've had two MC. But I've got a friend's hen do in mid-July, when I'll be about 7 months. It's about four hours away and the remaining balance (£175) is due mid-March. I really don't think I'm going to want to go and am reluctant to spend that amount of money when I won't be able to join in with everything. What would you all do? I've already paid £50. Also, the actual wedding is on 12th September. Not sure if I'll be overly enthusiastic about that at nearly 8.5 months!!

@Birchwoods I wouldn't go to be honest. In fact I didn't last pregnancy.

I'm feeling pretty normal today, boobs arent even sore. I'm not feeling too positive to be honest 😔

Hi ladies, congratulations! I got my bfp 2 days ago after 2 years of trying after a mc. I'm having slight cramping on my right side is this normal?

Report
Birchwoods · 29/01/2020 13:34

@Treaclepie19 oh no, why? What kind of symptoms did you have in your previous pregnancies? It really is v early to be feeling anything at all. It's ridiculous to say try not to worry as it's impossible, but every pregnancy is different. xx

Treaclepie19 · 29/01/2020 13:36

@Birchwoods normally nausea and sore boobs. I actually had nausea, sore boobs, tiredness and weeing a lot when I first found out and its already settled down.
I've just got to hope for the best I suppose. I'll try and think positively again x

Birchwoods · 29/01/2020 13:36

Congrats @Harricat! Smile

Yes I'd say cramping is very normal early on, it's your uterus stretching. I've been having mild period like cramps, as if I'm about to come on. But if it gets very painful and sharp and it's only on one side I'd contact your EPAU for a scan just to check it's not ectopic.

@Treaclepie19 have you taken any more tests? What's the line like? Fingers crossed for you. x

Treaclepie19 · 29/01/2020 13:40

Welcome @Harricat. I'd agree that cramping is normal unless severe Smile

I've not done any since sunday @Birchwoods. It was nice and strong then. Maybe I'll have to do another for reassurance tomorrow. I thought I was doing well keeping calm but its getting to me today x

Hi ladies. I'm due 3rd october with baby #2 according to my ovulation date. Really nervous and terrified as I've had 3 losses over the past 2 years with 2 being in the last 4 months but trying to focus on the positives 😊.

Hey everyone,
I got my bfp on Sunday 26th. This will be my 4th baby. I have a 19 year old son and 2 girls aged 12 and 6. I'm super excited although a little nervous, I'm 38 and thought it would take us ages to catch again but alas it happened first cycle! All feels a bit to good to be true, so I'm hoping this little bean sticks. I ovulated around 15th Jan, so still super early.
Hoping we all have smooth pregnancies 🤞 xx

Hello everyone 👋
I got my BFP on Saturday at 10DPO, although DH wouldn't believe me until he saw the words in black and white so I took a Clearblue yesterday which was positive 😂 men.
This will be #2 for us, #1 will be 2 in March. I feel terrified about how it is going to affect her and she is still very dependant on us!
Due October 6th all being well 😊🤞

Just wanted to add congratulations to everyone on their BFPs and also @Treaclepie19 I am not having any symptoms really yet either! Only a little cramping.
