Hello!

5 weeks plus 1 here.

Bit of a surprised as we weren't planning to start trying till next month, so whoops! But here we are. 😅

Second child, so far completely different pregnancy, I had nausea and sickness from about 7 days post ovulation the whole way through. I truly hated pregnancy, and was utterly miserable for the whole 9 months.

So far, only symptoms are the giant aching boobs, and cramping on the daily, which I'm not a huge fan of as it makes me nervous, also can't remember having it last time, but that could be just due to the overriding memory of being 50 shades of nausea.

Hoping if the sickness does start, it at least stays away for the next 3 weeks as I'm on holiday.

So odd how wildly different pregnancy can be. Anyone else had similar?

Thanks

@BimBimBaloo did you have a girl previously? The old wives tale is that with girls you throw up lots and boys you don’t lol

Yep, first was a girl! I'll be really surprised if this is another girl, fully expecting a boy with the lack of symptoms, though my sister was the complete other way round, soo I'll with her boy and nothing with her girl, bring on the 20 week scan!

I am so tired! But no other "symptoms" as such. In fact if I hadn't tested I would just have though I was knackered. I'm trying to relax and just take everything one day at a time, but feeling very overwhelmed today with worrying about things and then trying not to worry. It's exhausting.

I'm absolutely in shock with my BFP today. I would love to join the board please! My due date is 22/23 May 2023.

I hope everyone is feeling okay. I'm feeling a bit rough but thought it was PMT.

I've got my BFP yesterday and I'm over the moon. I'm apparently due on the 27th of May. I don't know about everyone else has symptoms and how they are prepping.

Due May 2023 ♥️

Hi everyone, I’m so shocked - got my BFP after 1st cycle TTC with my first. I’ve had a bit of cramping the past few days (which I initially thought was my period arriving), and I’ve been feeling tired and nauseous. Last week I had tender nipples and a really sharp pain on my left side - but this was like an electric shock and came and went.

Could the Facebook group link be re-shared so that I can join if possible?

Due May 2023 ♥️

Hi, I found out I’m pregnant after coming back from holiday 3 days ago, I’m a first time mum and nervous that everything will go to plan. Any advice gratefully received. Clear blue says I’m 2-3 weeks since conceived so I’m guessing that makes me 6 weeks in a couple of days according to my last period. Due around 20th May.

Hi girls, hoping I can jump on! We found out super early 8th September I'm pregnant. I was 3 weeks 4 days! So it feels like an eternity to get to today 6 weeks 3 days. I'm due 19th May according to my private scan I had on Friday. If feels real now that we were able to see the heartbeat on the screen. Is anyone else worried about the lack of medical attention in the first trimester? I have 2 children already and both times I seen my doctor straight away for blood tests then seen the midwife shortly after they got height weight etc. i done my self referral to hospital 2 weeks ago and Havnt heard anything back. I have been in contact with the community midwife who said they don't see me until 16 weeks. I had a lot of implantation bleeding in the beginning which I could see on my early scan so that was relief. Sending everyone lots of love

Thanks

@Jade57 16 weeks?! That's insane. Our local trust don't want to know until you're 8 weeks, I also did a self-referral form a few weeks ago when I found out I was pregnant (6+6 today). It does feel a bit removed, almost negligent? Especially as you hear about people who suffered early losses or you hear from Australians or Americans seeing obgyns etc as soon as possible.

What were your blood tests for last time, and do you need the same again this time?

Thanks

Jade57 · 25/09/2022 23:23

@TheBeesKnee I'm not sure what the blood tests were for I was told they are just routine I had them with both my previous children. I think they test for your rhesus status, hcg levels and I think other things. There's been no mention of anything this time tho and I'm assuming I will get an appointment for 12 weeks scan. I don't like how it's being done this time
