6 weeks gone

[junebaby2014]

After 3 tests i accepted that we are having a baby.
It's still the early stages but i don't know what the hell is going on.
I haven't had any symptoms.. No sickness, breasts feel fine, i don't feel pregnant and have to wait another 6 weeks for my scan, i am going off my head.
I have put a stone on and bloated up around my belly.

Anyone at the same stage as me care to chat and discuss whats normal at this stage :)

Joining you in the 6 weeks club if that's OK!

I'm 6 weeks and 2 days. Going to join my local docs later (I moved a while back and haven't got round to registering yet), I'm hoping they'll do all the midwife referral of whatever they do, I've no idea, this is my first baby! Umming and ahhing about an early scan, as I am a bit worried something is going to go wrong and I really want to tell our parents this week but am scared incase something bad happens.

Been reading with interest about symptoms... over the past week the main thing for me has been period like cramps, but OH informs me my chest has got bigger (I'm already a H cup!!) and they are sore. The odd bit of nausea too, and I've gone off tea. I still can't quite believe I'm having a baby, how very grown up! (I'm 31!) x

Congrats everyone!! junebaby I think no spotting is just as normal as some spotting. I had some with previous pregnancy but none this time.

babysunshine gone off tea?!? but where will you dunk your biscuits you poor thing?

I know!! I'm a proper tea lover, up to ten/fifteen cups a day, but it gradually tailed off, I just didn't fancy it, and that's one thing that made me do a pregnancy test! I haven't drank tea for about 2 weeks now. I have had to make do with dunking biscuits in hot chocolate, but it's not the same ;-)

5 weeks pregnant with my first, so naturally excited and scared as been trying over a year and don't want anything to go wrong.

Feeling absolutely exhausted, headaches and bloated with some stomach cramps. Hope this is normal

Got my booking appointment in 2 weeks

Congratulations Paula!

this is my first too, and came as a shock! All sound normal symptoms to me

* i had my doctors app when i was 5 weeks who then sent something to my midwife, who i still haven't heard from?? No scan date either getting fed up! *

junebaby2014 Congrats too :-)

Thanks for replying. Puts my mind at rest. :-)

Not surprised you're fed up, I was actually stunned my GP didn't ask me to do a pregnancy test.

Just found out about this forum, it's reassuring to read everyone's posts

Thank youuuu

Yeah i was surprised too!! But heard
They no longer do it....

It's only the early stages and its dragging completely i wake up some mornings forgetting i'm pregnant haha!

Have you had any sickness yet? x

Can I join too! I am due in June and only 5 weeks with my second. Eating like a horse, tiredness kicked in and no other symptoms... Good luck all!

Congrats panicmechanic!

I'm now 7 weeks was 6 when i made this thread... But still feeling the same!

Only major pains i've had are in my lower back
No sickness yet and fingers crossed that stays away lol!

Anyone got there scan date yet??

junebaby2014

ha ha me too completely forget I'm pregnant when I wake up, even though planned still a shock. No sickness yet thank god. I agree its dragging loads. can't wait to get my bump x

congrats panicmechanic :-)

me too absolutely exhausted. x

I'm 6 weeks(ish) with my first and have the sore-est boobs ever, only one of my sisters old bras fits, I feel bloated and have started with morning sickness. Oh, and I'm constantly battling the exhaustion monster. DB is helping with some of the housework but with working full time as a waitress, trying to run the household and raise my very energetic 6 year old step son, I feel like I'm going to drop dead any moment.

Is anyone else feeling like a zombie yet?

Lvcat congrats

Yesss i have had to take the last couple days off work as just feel physically drained and i am sleeping more than i ever have!!

Around 6 weeks too, got the sickness sore boobs n bloated belly, found out about 3 weeks ago went straight to doctor so it feels like a life time till I c mw or have a sacn, but had a slight bleed on mon night so dr has got me an early scan this tuesday coming had no bleeding since and still have pregnancy symptoms so finigers crossed. Congrats to all x

Hi all - I'm about 6 weeks as well. Only found out yesterday! It's my first baby so have no clue what to expect. Similar to you all have had sore boobs and started to feel sick today. Waiting for the midwife to call within the next few days!

Congrats Due in June!!

Lvcat and junebaby- good to know it's not just me. I've taken the afternoon off work and trying not to feel guilty about calling in sick if I need to.

Errrm, just wondering if I've done the right thing by booking in an appt with my gp? She has been helping us TTC over 2 years and thought it was the next step, but I read something that said gp's now don't really need you to book in an appt, you can just tell them on the phone?! Can anyone shed light on this? Ta. :-)

I went to see my GP yesterday as I had no clue what to do. She was lovely and spoke to me - told me to just sit tight and carry on "cooking" until the mw contacts me! Hoping that won't be too long now.

Good news girls

Yeah friend advised me not to bother going to the doctors they just send a letter away to get mw to phone you. Wish i'd just called mw myself my friend said i'd have known my scan date and stuff by now they tell you there and then on the phone and mw normally doesn't see you till after 12 week scan!

Hope scan goes well carmen keep us updated!

I've not had any spotting which i've heard is a good thing and no sickness so so far i'm doing alrite. I just have to deal with the lower back pain, eating for the five thousand and the bloating and extra weight gain

I'm so glad I'm not alone!!
AnnaBannana- I just called my GP and told them on the phone then waited a week to get a "booking appointment" with mw and they took blood and gave me my folic acid and booked in a date for my 12 week scan.
I don't know if other GP's run it differently tho.

Also, Junebaby- eating for 5000, I feel you there. I want ALL the food in my mouth

Thanks will do, seems like a lifetime away yet! Was never this scared with my first born! Im still waiting to hear from mw got told she will come to see me around 8-9 weeks! But hopefully will see her sooner if everything goes ok next tues

Good luck! Hope it all goes well!

Hi everyone I'm a six weeker too! Found out last Saturday and after 4 years of thinking we would be babyless, hubby and myself are thrilled. I haven't been to the doctors yet, mainly because it's easier to get an appointment with the Queen than get it my doctors, I'm booked in for Monday after waiting over a week for an appointment. I've had a bit of morning sickness but not every day but really sore boobs and stomach cramps that feel like period pain. no spotting yet. Does anyone else feel like this 42 weeks is never going to end? I've only know just under a week and I feel like time is standing still, I am so impatient. We're waiting for the 12 week mark until we go public, but we've told immediate family already. congratulations to all the new mummy to be's! x

Congrats mrscharlied

Don't worry you're not the only one, i've known for 3 weeks now and honestly feels like i've been pregnant for years!! Its dragging so much..
I'm phoning my mw tomorrow as been 3 weeks and still nothing so chase it up..
But looking at days my scan will be 1 week after my birthday perfect present

Hi ladies. Congrats to all. We just found out this week, and other half is like a kid at Christmas.
Boobs are sore and I feel knack erred most of the time, but as a teacher that's quite normal!
Not had any spotting but last couple of days the queasiness has started and I keep burping all day, struggling to keep up excuses with work colleagues to try and brush it off.
Hoping this is 3rd time lucky as have previously had 2 MC, both around week 6/7 and this was out down to me having PCOS, but this time definitely feels different. Did the test Tuesday night, doctors app on Wednesday, and organised midwife today for 1st appointment on 13th Nov.
As you can tell I am getting this time organised ASAP to make sure it all goes ok. 38 now and had previously had fertility treatment over 6 years ago with my ex which failed, but now feeling really positive about this time around, as is my partner.
Good to tell someone, as like many of you I am DYING to tell everyone, but don't want to tempt fate just in case again.
Hugs and positive happy feelings to all us new Mums to be.

Waitingame so happy for you and your partner MASSIVE congrats!!

Just take it easy and all will go swell!!

Keep us all updated.....

I can't keep any secrets!!! I've told everyone lol! 7 weeks 3 days today.. I have been an emotional wreck today though :'( blaming the hormones!
