Hello and congratulations, lovely lot.

It's been a bumpy road so DP and I aren't telling anyone until late September. But I need to talk to someone!!!

How are you?

Hi all I tested weds when back from holiday camping and was positive had a good idea it would be iam 40 8th pregnancy 6th baby if all goes well had mmc in Dec making me nervous off lmp edd 29/4/22. Feeling so sick n tired already seams to be 3pm onwards

Vaccine is allowed at any time during pregnancy, not sure where you got from 14 weeks from but it’s false info @FinnsMammy

Some women are choosing to wait until after 12 weeks but it is safe and recommended to do it whenever, hope that helps?

[Staryflight445]

I’m very stressed 😫 @alvaryder my kids are back at school next week and there’s literally no protection for them to not catch it. We’re being fed to the dogs!

[FinnsMammy]

@Staryflight445 I’m in the Republic of Ireland here you cannot get it before 14 weeks or after 36 weeks pregnant apologies I thought it was a world wide thing must just be in Ireland.

[alvaryder]

@Staryflight445 I understand your fear. My partner is a secondary school teacher and my son is starting school next week. I'm double vaccinated (as I'm an old bird) but it's terrifying.
I hope you manage to get one ASAP x

Hey everyone hope you don't mind me joining. I've started a May thread as I'm due May 4 but already convinced I'm going to have a April baby. How is everyone doing? I've had major nausea since the beginning

[maymum94]

I thought I'd share as I didn't see any in the discussion. My friend share me a group on Facebook I've joined both the April and May groups but if anyone else want to join me in the April group this is the link.

www.facebook.com/groups/136792505268287/

Hope that's okay for me to share. Xx

@maymum94
Thanks for this. Usually when people begin to hit the 10 - 12 week mark the bus makes a Facebook group (that's just a bunch of mumsnetters and not affiliated with any companies which i think this one is that you posted).
I presume that's why there isn't one made yet. Hopefully someone will take up the mantle and create one (who will be our brave tribute?).

My last mn birth group is still going strong 5 years on and the friendships I have from it are incredible so I really hope this group makes one too.

[maymum94]

@alvaryder this one was created by a group of mumnetters a friend of mine, they started a little baby program and has small groups and she shared it to me, like I said I thought I'd just share to you ladies it's up to you if you wish to join or not the ladies on my May thread are all joining that one as they are small groups so we're happy to be apart of it.

[maymum94]

How is everyone anyway? I'm almost 5 weeks but the sickness is horrible already. Had Hyperemesis with first baby so hoping it's not the same but it's been a rough start

[HannahD2021]

Hi Ladies,

Im afraid im leaving the group.
Bleeding started yesterday and scan today showed an empty sac. I should have been 9+2 weeks.

Wishing all you ladies the best on your pregnancy/baby journeys!

Xx

@HannahD2021 I'm so sorry xxx

[maymum94]

@HannahD2021 I'm so sorry Xxx

[fingerscrossed91]

@HannahD2021 I'm so so sorry to hear this. Please look after yourself. Sending big hugs xxx

[FinnsMammy]

@HannahD2021 I’m so sorry to hear . Give yourself plenty of TLC. I miscarried at 11 weeks 2.5 months ago I’m now almost 8 weeks along again with this baby so don’t lose hope. Thinking of you. I know how hard it is xxx

[FinnsMammy]

@maymum94 welcome I’m struggling over here with the all day nausea 🤢 so I hear you. Booked a private reassurance scan for Wednesday when I will be 8 weeks so really hoping it’s good news and it will all be worth it ! These early weeks are so nail biting!

[maymum94]

@FinnsMammy the all day sickness is the worst. I've booked a scan for at 7 weeks in the 13th

[Itsjustme20]

@HannahD2021 I’m so sorry 😢 Lots of love x

@maymum94 group looks great! The more groups and support the better I say! Honestly I'm thinking back to all those long nights awake feeding and how much Facebook groups kept me sane!!

[maymum94]

@alvaryder definitely agree I have a 15month old as well and late night feedings is much better chatting and scrolling through the phone. I also joined the breastfeeding support as I'm still breasting my little girl and I will hopefully breastfeed this one too. I think my struggle will be keeping up to my daughter when pregnant as I'm just feeling awful at the moment. I'm in both the April and May as I'm due May but I think I will have another early baby so I'd say I'll be mid April this time. I'm Elizabeth on there to btw Xx

[alvaryder]

@maymum94 I'll look out for you! I'm Marie Claire on FB. My son is turning 5 in 2 weeks so I'm terrified as I've gotten used to the easy life and sleep!!! 😂

[maymum94]

@alvaryder great I'll look out for you too. I felt like I haven't slept in 2 years so I'm well past training now by the time this one arrives 😂

[Rovicha88]

Could I join please :-)
I’m due 22nd April, already have a DD who is almost 3

[alvaryder]

I'm 6 weeks today according to the apps.
How far are we all along now?
