Late Jan - all of Feb 2022

Is there a group for us mamas to be? If not, join one and all, let's get this started...

[minthumbugs]

@bundaberg84 and I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. X

[Bundaberg84]

@minthumbugs I'm sorry for your loss, too! And you're absolutely right! That support is very important. I didn't really felt that at the other forum I was, but there weren't too many active users and everyone was (understandably so) too focused on their own journey.

[minthumbugs]

@Bundaberg84 oh that's a shame. I was on a TTC thread which has honestly kept me going so much, don't know what I would've done otherwise! Hopefully we can do the same for eachother here ✨🤞🏻 this would be my 2nd but I feel like I need more of a handhold this time around 🙈

[Bundaberg84]

@minthumbugs that sounds lovely!❤️

[1ogansmum]

@minthumbugs

Oh and PS took another FRER this morning 48 hours after the last one I took and it's definitely darker. I'm pleased! Xx

Super pleased your test was darker :)

[Adelyra]

So I POASed on Saturday and it's +++.

Hi!

It would/will be our second child, our first is 5 yo.

I am cautiously optimistic.

EDD 31/01 or 02/02 depending the apps I used.

[Lollipop25]

Congrats @Adelyra 👏👏 welcome. I've ordered more CB digitals 🙈

[Adelyra]

This is going to sound crazy but I do not remember what I supposed to do! I have moved county last year, so I need a new hospital, new place for early scans and harmony test, new breast feeding consultant, new everything. I last gave birth in 2015 and I swear I only remember thing from week 20 onwards.

[Csx99]

Hi all! Got my BFP two weeks ago, think I'm due around late January possibly the first day in Feb depending when I ovulated. Will be baby #2 18 months gap

[minthumbugs]

Thank you @1ogansmum that will keep me going for a few days at least! One last CB digi so keeping that as long as possible, visiting family next week for a few days so that will keep me distracted and away from the test thank god 🤦‍♀️

Congrats @Adelyra! Hopefully not much will be different 🤞🏻 where I am anyway the first 20 weeks are pretty slow, think only booking app, bloods and 2 scans then it all ramps up after that!

Congrats @Csx99 😘

[Adelyra]

Just like I did 6 years ago, I am having period cramps and bloating. How can an organism that is about 1 millimetre in size wreak so much havoc?!

I hate the "Is that a normal womb expansion cramp? Or is that my pregnancy failing?" guessing game.

[Lollipop25]

😆totally agree @Adelyra , I have this nagging stretching on my left side , totally annoying.🤦‍♀️

[Mitch83]

[quote minthumbugs]@PoodleOodle I haven't booked in yet! Policy where I am is 6 weeks which would be Tuesday for me, but planning to wait until after the scan and if all is well will phone then!

Wow @Mitch83 that is some story! How many weeks do you think you are?

Hi @Erinrose82 congrats!

Congratulations @Foxy1303, a few of us here have that predicted date at the moment! Must be a common one 🤣[/quote]
At the scan I had last week they reckon I was 5 weeks I have another scan on Monday as all that could be seen was a sac xx

[Erinrose82]

@minthumbugs let us know how scan goes. Thank you for the congratulations and same to you !
I have booked a private scan for 28th June .. just over 8 weeks then I think.
Hope everyone is doing well x

[minthumbugs]

Thank you @Erinrose82! The waiting is just awful 😩 that's fab you have a scan booked. I'm pretty much trying to forget about it atm so I don't overthink 🙈

@Mitch83 ahhhh ok! That's still so early so seems about right. Good luck for the next scan. X

How's everyone doing with symptoms etc? Other than feeling tired I still have nothing 😬

[Erinrose82]

Actually... I feel quite hormonal.. very up and down my boobs hurt and are really full definitely grown. I think I’m still in shock 😂 xx

[OliviaGrace15]

hey everyone how are you all doing? anyone got any symptoms? im 4+6 today and dont really feel any different other than i cant stop sneezing but reckon thats hay fever! are we allowed antihistamines does anyone know? xx

[1ogansmum]

@OliviaGrace15 4+5 today and feeling ok, I had a fall yesterday landed flat on my front in pain today with my arm and leg 🙈 booked in with my midwife yesterday should have my first app in 4 weeks! Excited x

[OliviaGrace15]

@1ogansmum oh no! Don't worry I'm super clumsy, I've tripped a few times, twice over my own shoes that I left in the hallway 🙈 ooh sounds good I've done my self referral so reckon they'll want me in by week 8 which is only a few weeks away, might feel more real then x

[nursej28]

Hi all,
BFP on 28th May, due date is 4th Feb so currently 4w+5d! Boobs super sore and sensitive, and definitely less of an appetite in the morning but wouldn’t say I’m nauseous. Today I feel so bloated and I’m getting a lot of lower abdominal discomfort.. wouldn’t say it’s like cramping but it’s just a general ache. Constantly terrified of a mc 😭

[Bundaberg84]

@OliviaGrace15 no, just tired, and boobs are a bit sore but nothing that would have made me suspicious of being pregnant (other than AF not arriving of course).

Does anyone else have light brown discharge? It worries me a bit, although I have no cramps at all.

Also I have no appetite at lunch time. At all.

[nursej28]

I had quite a lot around 3-4 weeks but it’s since stopped, must have been implantation bleeding

[PoodleOodle]

I'm 6+1 today I think. My nipples are super sore, I've started needing a wee in the night and I'm feeling nauseous on and off. I had awful trapped wind weeks 4-5 but that seems to have settled a little. I didn't vomit until 7+1 with my first so hoping I've got a few more days!

No brown discharge here, but I've heard it's not abnormal in early pregnancy.

I've got midwife in 2 weeks and a private scan at 8+4. I'm really looking forward to those.

[minthumbugs]

@OliviaGrace15 I think antihistamines are one of those iffy ones. Worth checking the packaging! When I had my LO I used a thing called haymax (I think) which is like a vaseline type thing that's safe to use. It's not as effective as tablets but it's better than nothing. X

Oh god @1ogansmum I hope you are ok. Appointment booked in, that's very exciting news!

Hi @nursej28 I know the feeling, it's awful. Congrats though! Hoping for a sticky bean for you. X

@Bundaberg84 perhaps old blood left over from implantation if it's a browny colour?

@PoodleOodle symptoms are coming in thick and fast for you now! Glad to hear you're getting everything all booked in

[Foxy1303]

5+2 here. Current symptoms are very minor; lack of appetite until the afternoon, quite bad bloating/wind after a large meal (I do have digestive issues anyway though!) very slight nausea in the evening, full boobs, but not sore. A bit more damp in the pants region in the last couple of days!! 😂 Currently phasing off some medication I take for SAD, but doing quite well there I think. Feeling pretty good really! Is it weird that I want more symptoms so I really feel pregnant?? I'll soon take that back in sure. L x
