Early pregnancy chat

[Mirmaid85]

Hi everyone
I'm new on here and this is my first post, just looking for other people in a similar position to chat to.
I'm 29 and around 8-9 weeks pregnant with my second child. I had my daughter when I was 19 (big age gap I know!).

I had my bfp almost a month ago and so far the only person that knows is my partner. We're both really happy, it just happened very fast, almost instantly after I came off the pill!
I've had a doctors appointment where they didn't even confirm the pregnancy, so now I'm waiting to hear from midwives so I can have my booking in appointment.
So far I've had very sore boobs which I didn't have in my last pregnancy, and this past week morning sickness has kicked in, again something I never really had with my last pregnancy. I'm nauseous nearly all day:( and vomit a few times a day. Im starting to get a bit of anxiety around puking in public/at work, and think this may be causing some nausea too. I'm going to try eating very plain food ie crackers, salted crisps, cereal, toast etc and see if it makes a difference.

We want to get the first scan done before we start telling people, but it means I don't really have anyone to talk to about how I'm feeling.

Anyone else in their first trimester and feeling a bit rough?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'm 15wks today, and I found out when I was like 2wks gone! Had nausea really bad around 10am every morning and have been sick twice in first trimester. I found it difficult around work and nursery! No one really knew I was pregnant but I had my first appointment when I was 8wks. I found rich tea biscuits calmed down the sicky feeling!
Good luck with everything!
I have a 4yr gap between my first and this one and that's scary enough so I can imagine its like starting all over again for yourself!!
Take care x

I'm 8 weeks today and have an 18 year age gap between my first and this one .... It's SCARY!!! I'm not really suffering symptoms ..... Apart from lethargy and not wanting to do anything but lie in bed AAAAALLLLL Day!! I'm off food but constantly starving!! Everyone knows im pregnant because I have quite a physical job and couldn't hide it very well!! I did pay for an early scan though just to make sure all was well before i outed myself x

Hi Mirmaid, why don't you come and join us in the Ante-natal threads - there's one for Dec and another for Jan - where lots of us are sharing similar things to what you're talking about x

I am 8 weeks today too, and finding it quite hard to not accidentally tell everyone I speak too... We have told a couple of friends as we were due to start another IVF cycle (after a failed one in March) and I didn't want to lie about it. I am having to be very evasive with quite a lot of friends as we've been very open about the IVF so people ask!

I have low level nausea a lot of the time which I didn't have with 2 year old DD. I think due to the tiredness. I am also just EATING AND EATING!! I have put on a few pounds already...

Here is the January 2016 baby chat thread if you want to join (I'm not sure of your EDD Mirmaid but I'm guessing you're due about NYE?)

Good luck everyone

Hey all. I'm only 6 weeks gone, even 8 weeks seems like a mile away! Have my first Drs apt Monday, not expecting much from what I've heard! Constantly want to eat! Feel tired and a bit lousy but not too sick so far!
Only myself and my partner know! The longer we wait to tell anyone the more nervous i am about it! Although we have been together 5 years we aren't married and had no plans to marry anytime soon. But I'm aure it will still bring some judgements!

Hope you are all getting on well! X

I have recently found out im pregnant with my second with an 11 year age gap i will be 44 next month, i went to the doctors thinking i was pre menapausal took a test to find it postive oh my what a shock but great news i was sent for an early scan as i have had several misscarriages. The sonogragher can see what he says is a sac with layers but too early to see anything in it yet im just 6 weeks going back again 8th june. Im very worried about how i fell and how om going to cope im already so tired with aching tummy muscles and boobs I know we have some massive things ro overcome and its very early but i guess things happen for a reason, time will tell good luck. X

I'm also 8 weeks! Had lots of vomiting and not told anyone but my parents. I want to blab to everyone but other half wants to wait till the scan. Even got to keep it from my best friend! This is my 2nd. Ds is 2. X

hello.
I got my bfp on Friday and I'm already feeling it. I've had dizzy spells and I'm just so tired all the time. starting to feel the first effects of morning sickness too. I don't remember feeling this rough with my other 2 boys. Maybe this one is a girl my own predictions make me due 5th of feb x

Hi everyone . Got my BFP yesterday this will be Dc3

Going by LMP I'm 5 weeks and due 29th Jan . This was only our first month ttc so I'm still a bit shocked I still don't really believe it if I'm honest

Hi,

Can I join, got my BFP on Friday so happy. This will be our first, will be calling the docs tomorrow to arrange an appointment.

Going by my LMP I'm 6 weeks, we've decided to try and keep it to ourselves until the scan but its going to be hard especially as I have lots of hen's and birthday parties coming up in the next couple of months x

Hi rose congratulations

Same here - I have a wedding on Saturday I don't know how to get round it , getting drunk at weddings is my thing

I definitely want to keep it to ourselves as long as possible though . I told everyone really early with my first two and they felt so long , this time I'm determined to keep schtum . I'm not even going to bother making a Dr appointment just yet . Our booking appointments are done at 10 weeks so think I will wait til I'm about 7 or 8 to see the GP .

Hey u just found out Monday I was pregnant but I been cramping and bleeding and my hug level has drop been to the doc on Fri hcg was 264 did I miscarriage

Hi I’m new here and was looking for advice, so I had my last period on the the 20/08/18 had protected sex 22 and 23/08/18 and had unprotected sex on the 13/09/18 when I woke up I had Cramp and light but bright bleeding so I presumed it was my period the cramp went away later in the morning and I bled for a that day plus the morning after then had brown discharge for 2 days, my body feels different since any idea what it could be? Thanks

Hi. Had my last period feb 2019. I have been irregular for about a year. Went and had a private early scan 2 weeks ago and was told nothing could be seen. Clear blue digital last week says I’m 2-3 weeks but I did it in the evening so I don’t know how accurate the dating is on it. Anybody had anything similar and what was the outcome? Thank you in advance, love reading everybody’s stories.

Hi, I’m just a bit concerned, so I had a scan at six weeks and it showed my EDD to be 7th April 2020 I then had one at 8 weeks which was a few days different and another one at 12 weeks where it then changed to 3rd April 2020 which is the one I’ve stuck with. My lmp was 3rd July but only for two days but had been irregular anyway due to a miscarriage in the February. I also had private scan at 16 weeks then another one with NHS at 20 weeks and never been told the dates were wrong etc. I also took a clear blue pregnancy test which indicated I was 1-2 weeks and another one that said 2-3 so everything points to conceiving in the middle of July but since about 28 weeks the baby has been measuring 2 weeks ahead I’m now 37 weeks and he’s measuring 3/4 weeks ahead, anyway I wanted to ask is this normal or is there a possibility my dates are wrong? Please help x

Hi everyone just looking for one advice and whether anyone else can relate or have had similar symptoms. My period is a couple of days late (very rare for me I’m normally always on time the same date each month) I’ve had cramping these past couple of days which feels a bit like a period cramp but I’ve had increase in discharge which I normally get around ovulation but obviously I’ve already ovulated, I’ve had a lot of mood swings and indigestion to has anyone else had Similar to these I’ve ordered a pregnancy test online as I’m sure like everyone else is I’m currently self isolating

Small gest sac compared to baby??

So I had an ultrasound today as last week I was measuring a week behind and OB was concerned and said it could go either way.

Ultrasound report won’t be sent to OB for 2 days and I’m freaking out as I’ve got the images and it looks like the gest sac is tiny compared to the baby? Am I going to have a MMC? :( I’m freaking out.

Heart rate was 153. Last week I measured at 6 w 5 d but was meant to be 7 w 5 d.

Anyone had back ache ?

@seebychloee yes me. Cramps and lower back pain. Sometimes feel it is in my buttocks.

However also some advice/ reassurance would be great. I feel like tearing my hair out..

My CD are 35 to 45 days. I have been tested for infertility and all came back normal..

I last had a period Aug 6th 20.. Then my day 45 arrived on 20th Sept 20 and no period Instead have started spotting and have been for last 6 days, dark red to pink and brown which is only when I wipe. Nothing on panties at all, having mild cramps, lower back pain, dizziness and vivid dreams. Now and again feeling nauseated and reduced appetite. I am sure my breasts feel bigger. Nipples were sore a week or so ago but not now..

No I am confused as had BFN today and spoke to my GP last Friday and she started talking about luteal phase!! But to wait and see and test again. She seemed dismissive of the fact I have a long period cycle which is normal for me.. Have done for years, never missed a period or had spotting.. Now I don't track ovulation but I do my periods. And then it adds in my ovulation on calendar, so working it out I had sex around that time being approx. We are trying but not so the extent I am watching everything and tracking just yet.

But I am confused, if I was having an anovulation or bleeding in luteal phase, surely I would of had a period and not be spotting?

However if I am having implantation bleeding why is it going on so long and why am I getting BFN still .. I am really confused and it is starting to bother me that something else is going on other than pregnancy when working it all out that is what it should be so to speak..

Any help, or similar stories that can provide reassurance would be great.. Thank you xxx

I'm currently 8+3 with my 3rd pregnancy after having a miscarriage and then a PUL AT 6+6 and 6+4 respectively.

I have a private scan on Tuesday just to see that everything is in the right place and proceeding as well as it can be.

We have told one or two people but no one else. I'm going to wait until after my 12 week scan, possibly longer, as my parents are moving back near us and so I would like to tell them face to face and it would hopefully coincide with them moving back. Plus I'm super nervous cos we told people last time and had the PUL so I'm more anxious this time

I am 7 weeks pregnant have back ache on and off

I'm 5 or 6 weeks pregnant, age 30. It was unplanned, but we do want a child, we are in a stable loving relationship, own our own home, etc. However, I can't stop freaking out because I didn't take folic acid and I hear that can cause serious birth defects. I also smoked, drank and did coke (this is not something I do frequently - we had a crazy 6-person party for a birthday) before I found out. Have I absolutely ruined this fetus' chance of a healthy life? I am so upset and I am seriously considering termination because I am so worried. I can't talk to the Midwife, my appointment isn't for another 3 weeks but I can call the clinic tomorrow. I am freaking out about growing this thing and my body changing and it being totally unviable.

First day of my last period was 4th September, found out on Sunday I was pregnant. Please help!

Hey ladies! 5 weeks over here

Anyone have lower abdominal pelvis cramps..... I have this intensely after I've been to the toilet? Is this normal trying not to go down the ectopic rabbit hole.

My HCG Wednesday was 66
Yesterday was 877
Getting test tomorrow! X

Hi @Northernlass101 I’m in my 5th week and have on/off abdominal pains, almost like trapped wind and sicky?
I’m so worried about everything that I’m not even excited! 🤣😭
