April 2022 Birth Club

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?

@Kelb79 I'm a size 12 a/b cup so in actuality not much boobage wise but I am presently surprised by how heavy/full they feel. DH asked if I was going to make comment on them daily- I've let him know I will be 🥳🤣.

I am very bloated as well. My tummy gets progressively bigger after every meal. Went into the office yesterday and my wrap dress felt a little tight (DH says you couldn't tell) as I'm so early and my first getting paranoid that people will guess (weight and the fact I'm not drinking- have events every weekend until mid October) sooner than I want to share our happy news. I thought I'd be able to get to December but if this bloat settles to bump at the current pace I'll be lucky not to be completely showing by my first trimester scan in October. I am excited though and I've said I'm not going to lie if asked as I'm a firm believer in speaking positivity into my life.

Girls this is my second baby I have an almost 2 year old boy. I’m
9 weeks tomorrow and I’m noticing a baby bump already !! know it’s normal to show earlier with second/third pregnancies but I usually have a very flat stomach! Can’t believe it anyone else showing already? I won’t be keeping this secret for much longer lol

I just feel like crap, I’m struggling to eat, not really drinking much… it’s rubbish!

Hi , Due date April 5 2022. First time parent. How are you feeling?

Ok…. TMI…. But is anyone struggling with seriously altered bowel movements??? 🤔
I’ve always been like clockwork - once a day when I first get up.
Now it’s split into 3/4 times throughout the day and I (excuse the pun) start to feel really sh!t when I need to go - cramps, nausea, lethargic… really odd!!!!
Is this normal????!!!

@Kelb79 totally normal except I could go 3 to 4 days without one 🙈 Another fabulous symptom of pregnancy lol also iron supplements make it so much worse!! There not much you can do about it either unfortunately just ride it out xx

Same, I think it’s the progesterone.

I’d speak to a dr about what you’re experiencing @Kelb79 just to be on the safe side.

Yeah I’ve got my scan on Tuesday 🙈🙈🙈🥳🥳🥳 so I’ll chat through everything then 😁
How’s everyone feeling??
I’m an emotional wreck - high as a kite one day, crying over everything the next!! Next level tired and low grade nausea most of the time but I still don’t believe it and have to stop myself going and buying new tests just to make sure I haven’t got it wrong or it hasn’t just disappeared…. 🤦🏼‍♀️
How many tests did you all do?? Is it normal to just not believe it??? I feel like I’m actually losing my mind 😵‍💫😂🙈

5! 😅. I haven’t done any since those though (during the first few days of finding out)

@wannabeamummysobad 🤣🤣🤣 I’m literally cupping my boobs countless times a day to see if they’ve grown 🤣🤣🤣 my OH always told me he wasn’t a boob guy but he’s suddenly quite excited by their potential growth 🙄🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 men! I can’t really tell if mine have grown… if they have it’s not a lot… but they feel heavier for sure! Happy boobs lovely! 🥳🥳

From past experience the time they grow the most is sort of third trimester onwards I would say?

To get ready for being a cow haha.

@Staryflight445 haha! That makes me feel better! I could do more then 🤔🤣 I only did 2 but the lines were immediate and really dark so I guessed it was a pretty foregone conclusion…. That was at 2 days late for AF around 4 weeks… I’m rationalising with myself that I would’ve bled if anything had changed so trying to chill 🙈🙈🙈

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Kelb79 I did 3. One FRER the day I was due, a CB digital the following week showing 2-3 weeks then a final one the following week showing 3+ weeks. Decided to stop then and wait for my early scan this weekend (7W2D LMP).

My DH has always claimed to be a 🍑 man (good thing considering pre-pregnancy I barely filled a b cup) but now he's excited to see what happens-mine are bigger and noticeably heavier. Not sure what to make of this. Will they just keep growing until I give birth? Or is it like the "bump" I'm rocking and just bloat?🤷‍♀️. Aaah well, I'm enjoying it all and hopefully optimistic I'll make it to a C/D🤣🤣.feels like the boost i never got at puberty or going on the pill is finally arriving

Hi Ladies, I just found out I am pregnant so coming to join you lot so I can actually tell some one other than dp!
I only did one test but I was 9 weeks ish I think so it was very much boom there is a line, no 5 min wait for me!
I have big boobs anyway so not grown but for my first, my boobs just got firmer towards the end.

@Kelb79 same here with the low grade nausea I had it pretty bad (for me )from week 5 to 8 but then it just stopped over night I was on holidays for a week though so maybe I didn’t notice it as I was enjoying myself 🙈 I had my son in Dubai and they are Ott with the scans so I never had time to worry about symptoms stopping or easing off.I’ve just ordered a Doppler online now to put my mind at ease... I had a private scan just before my hols at 7+6 and all looked good so I guess the odds are in my favour x

Girls I just bought this for 30 euros including the gel. I’m 9 plus 2 and picked up a heartbeat straight away! 🥰 I always said I would never get one if these but after my recent mc I changed my mind this gives me great peace of mind whilst I’m waiting to feel the baby kicks ! For anyone else you had anxiety post miscarriage I totally recommend it xx

@Kelb79 @Derbee @irene88 just back from my early scan. It's went so well. As soon as the sonographer put the wand on my tummy she saw the sack in the womb and immediately commented on a strong heartbeat. She dated me at 7W1D which is what I thought I was so really happy about that.

Roll on the next 5weeks for my first trimester scan.

@wannabeamummysobad congrats!! X

@wannabeamummysobad omg that just made me cry!!! 😍😍 admittedly I’m crying at everything these days but that is so so lovely!!! I relented and did another test today - I had convinced myself that I was manifesting all my symptoms and wasn’t actually pregnant! But there it was, straight away, a strong line much darker than before even. So I’ve chilled a bit and have only 3 days until my scan 😁😁😁

Anyone else really struggling to eat? Nothing appeals to me at all and when I do eat I feel full straight away! Trying to give myself all the nutrition I need to grow this little bean but just can’t do it! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thank you @Kelb79 and @FinnsMammy. I was so excited this week then suddenly really anxious this morning. Honestly, so happy.

Let us know how your scan goes. I'm excited for you.

@wannabeamummysobad are you going to find out the gender ? I sent mine into this website yesterday just for fun and it can try to predict the gender using the Ramzi theory... I just got my prediction back saying it’s a girl 🎀... time will tell if it’s correct I’m defo going to find out the gender as soon as I can I’m too impatient lol babygenderpros.com/product/personalized-gender-prediction/

@FinnsMammy I'm not sure tbh. Especially because this is my first doubly not sure. Guess I'll decide once we start shopping for the little one 🤣. What did your test say?

@wannabeamummysobad it predicted a girl so I guess time will tell if it’s true x I’m a big planner so I have to know lol

I’m 9 weeks+4, just waiting on dating scan to confirm but it’s looking like i’m due April 14th with my first! ❤️

Anyone else due April 14th? x
