Hey,

Verrry early days of course but just had a big fucking positive this morning and I'm so excited. I'll be due between the 4th to the 7th of April by my reckoning.

Anyone else just received their positive?

@Bubbles1995 weve got one booked in for 27th august. I’ve got too many celebrations planned after that for friends birthdays etc that I would struggle to hide it, but equally not confident telling anyone until we’ve seen all is okay!

I’ve requested to join fb group this morning, am in such a lovely one from my March 21 baby. 💗 will be nice to have another for this little one!

Symptoms so far: drinking lots of water, eating lots and weeing constantly! Bit of headache but possibly just caffeine craving as cut down to one coffee a day now… this is hard with a toddler who isn’t sleeping and poorly atm. Dreading when sickness might hit already 🙈

@KennAdams mines face to face

@Babyfever93 I dunno how long I wanna wait. Maybe next week for mine or if I can wait week after! My symptoms are pretty mild (she jinx's it). Just some mild stretching feeling, back ache, metal taste and got from being exhausted to not being able to sleep. Had some nausea on Monday but that was the end of that so far. Weeing more... but with this one I go a lot but there's not loads there just more the feeling to go dunno if that's normal 😂

I felt nauseous yesterday evening and again after breakfast this morning. I'm also exhausted and thirsty!

@cryingbabymess @Wouldloveanother small sips of water throughout the day are more hydrating and better for rehydrating cells than guzzling a pint or 2 at once (apparently that flushes out the kidneys) ☺️

I've joined the FB group 😀thank you for sharing the link.

I am so thirsty and hungry too. Weeing loads and am so tired but also have a toddler who's not sleeping well atm, so that helps! Light-headedness for me too and some stretchy feelings going on.

Please can someone help me with expected weeks. I'm so confused across apps nhs and god knows what else I'm between 5 to nearly 7 weeks!!

Last period was 26/06 cycle before was 34 days. I'm supposed to be 7 weeks on Sunday but when I've booked in my early scan for tomorrow it says I'm dead on 6 weeks. Honestly I'm lost!

If you don’t track ovulation, go by the NHS due date calculator. If you do, you can use the whattoexpect one and put the ovulation date in.

@Wouldloveanother didn't track but had tests done which says my ovulation date is between 13/15 day so I think I know what my ovulation date would be from this cycle I'll check it out. At the minute I'm just going to go off that j should be 7 on Sunday and see what they say tomorrow at my scan

Just had scan earlier than I thought! I'm measuring 5w5d with a heartbeat flickering away. I literally must have found out at like 3 weeks! Feel a little bit more real now as anxiety was setting in

Hey @Bubbles1995 yes I’ve been trying for 7 cycles so have been posting before, great you’re here too!
No I still haven’t told him! I’ve told him I’m 5 days late but I did 2 more tests today and the line was sooooo faint I don’t want to risk it yet! Argh so stressful
