I've just found out via clear blue I'm pregnant so if all goes well after 2 mmc, should be a 2017 baby!!

Sore boobs, although not as perky as they were a few days ago, bit of bad back but that's it!!

Love to hear from anyone else just found out there pregnant

Happy 2017

shuttles congrats! Round my way (Lewisham) you can either go to your GP for a midwife referral, or self-refer direct. I've booked both for now Blush

Amz26 · 08/01/2017 12:24

BlessedWithBump- congrats you're Due date is the same as mine! Also my first baby :)

Shuttles1- welcome and congratulations :) I just book an appointment to see my GP and then I will book an appointment with the midwife after.. I think a lot of people self refer now like EssentialHummus said X

We found out yesterday that I'm pregnant with my first. Think I'm about 5 weeks. Feeling scared and excited at the same time. We didn't think it would happen this quickly as only took two months and as I'm almost 37 I was expecting it to take some time. Symptoms not too bad at the moment. Just some cramps and really sore boobs. It hasn't really sunk in yet to be honest!

Isthisusernamefree · 08/01/2017 21:04

Congrats Carolina!

So due to the two miscarriages within 6 months of each other, I sweet talked my dr into referring me to a consultant for a few tests - most have come back and were normal, we just have the karyotyping ones left to come. This is probably going to sound like the dumbest question, but do I need to tell him i'm pregnant?

I've literally seen him once for less than half an hour, but I suppose we'd have to have a follow up once all the tests are in? I'm vaguely hoping that if I tell him he'll refer me to EPAU for an early scan to check the pregnancy is where it's supposed to be and that it's progressing normally...

Hi All,

I got my BFP end of last week...TTC for 5 months, and DS is 3, worried how he will take it, as he hates sharing me, so I have 9months to train him! This pregnancy is very different to my sons, with my son I had heighted smell, everything tasted funny, I couldn't stop weeing. With this pregnancy, I am having crazy vivid dreams, my wee smells very strong, and I am getting heartburn...cramps, abit breathless at times with stairs...slightly tired and sleepy during the day.

I had a MC during my last cycle, but I cant help but just be excited until something happens, I didn't enjoy my last pregnancy as we had so much going on, redundancy moving homes, so I am just trying to enjoy this, whether it lasts 8plus months or not...

Anyone with crazy symptoms, I am really trying not to book a peek and see scan!

Amz26 · 09/01/2017 11:13

Welcome and congratulations newcomers :)

Rose280187 - I'm also really emotional I've cried a few times today already :( I don't even really know why 😁 Is anyone else really emotional? X

Sorry to hear about your MC +Isthisusernamefree and sara* X

MummySara · 09/01/2017 13:17

iv cried loads, a relative passed away last year. I just randomly pictured him smiling whilst i was day dreaming and than tears just rolled down my face. Cried about loads of random things, Cried when i announced i was expecting to my mum!

snapped at my demotology dr and my ds nursery manager. lol

Pinkbottletop · 09/01/2017 13:33

Hi all! Just found out today! 2 weeks. I'm very nervous as my last pregnancy was a miscarriage. So just gotta keep an eye on this one

Amz26 · 09/01/2017 18:54

babynumber2xx · 09/01/2017 20:18

Mee..i found out on Wednesday 4th Jan. 12dpo 4days before af was due. According to online calculators my edd is 17th September 17. Will be Grinmy second baby :)) xxx

calimommy · 09/01/2017 20:21

Loads of sept 8th babies so far, me too! We should start a sept 8th thread 😂 Although I've never gone past 38 wks before. And I'd nearly prefer to go over this time to get an extra few weeks; my boys will only be 4&2 in July.

Good luck all. I've a scan in three wks and fingers crossed there's a growing bean.

Hey guys!!! Feeling ok today, shattered tonight though, but keep waking up dead on 6 every morning... weird!
Not sure on due date but been booked in with midwife so awaiting appointment :)
Dr said he had me at around 5 weeks.. but I've had 2 mmc back to back and no period since October so won't know exactly till scan. Xx

I'm a first timer here. Just found out. 5 weeks along. A bit of a shock as we'd only just stopped 'trying not to get pregnant' if that makes sense.
Very excited, and very nauseous. No idea what I'm doing, but have a GP appointment tomorrow. Smile

Carolina80 · 09/01/2017 21:53

I'm also due Sept 8th! I can't believe it's going to be about another 7 weeks until a scan. It's so long to wait without being sure there's a baby in there.

Amz26 · 10/01/2017 10:46

Hey newbies

So many 8th September DD :) me too 😀

How is everyone feeling today? X

EssentialHummus · 10/01/2017 11:04

Morning amz

I'm waking up at all hours, so main symptom seems to be sleep deprivation about 8 months early. Not sure whether it's just nerves or something else. Lots of cramping too.

Anyone else with odd symptoms?

I've just found out I'm pregnant also. However bit odd. I thought I had an early period mid December (was due just over a week later) it wasn't the heaviest period but had blood clots etc and it lasted a few days.
Anyway, I thought this was a period so carries on until the last week (Jan) I've been experiencing nausea, had it a few days and got worse so I took a test ... Turns out using a clear blue test which says how many weeks since ovulation...I'm not only pregnant but I've been pregnant for a few weeks!! So I have now discounted the last bleed as a period and used the period before as my pregnancy calculation.
However, the bleed that obvs wasn't a period was an ovulation bleed. Has anyone else ever experienced this? This isn't my first pregnancy and this did not happen last time so I'm a bit nervous about it. Midwife appt booked in next week!
