I just got my BFP on the 9th June, and I'm calculated due 18th Feb 2018. Anyone else with similar dates out there who'd like to share the ride?
Current symptoms are tender, larger boobs and mild, intermittent 'cramps" In my left abdomen (more like a poke than a cramp!).

Very sorry to hear that @LeannieRVN. I think you may have been in front of us for appointment an I was hoping that it wasn't bad news. Very sorry. I had an empty pregnancy sac at 13 weeks my first pregnancy so I know how it all feels. Take it easy. And in does in time get better. Fingers crossed they can solve the fibroids for you and you can try again ❤️

It was good news for me. Baby was fine and wiggling its little arm an leg buds about. Measuring 9 weeks exactly.

Hey, I'm due 5th February with my first..excited but really feeling it at the moment like the life is literally being zapped out of me..sooo tired! I have sore boobs, an ache back, cramps, constantly need to pee and have sore hips already! Please tell me I'm not alone with these symptoms? And good luck to all you, really hope to share the journey x

sadie2017 · 04/07/2017 20:14

Hi Roxx

I'm due 6th Feb and totally understand the zapped feeling. The only other issue at the moment is literally toilet talk - I'm having a few issues going to the loo if you know what I mean 😔 its getting to the point that I may need to see a doc. I've no idea if I'm allowed to take anything 😕

cakesandphotos · 04/07/2017 20:25

Welcome @Roxx1988! I get back aches and occasional cramping although I think most of my cramps comes from g away with weekened constipated! I'm a nervous pooper and prefer being at home so being away this weekend was a nightmare! I really need to go and when I do, i produce rabbit droppings which is nice Confused

@sadie2017 I'm sure the doc can give you something, it's so unpleasant, you can't surely put up with it!

I've just found out the kids I nanny for have worms and there's definitely nothing I can take so currently trying to work out what to do about work tomorrow with my boss. Not quite how I wanted to tell her I'm pregnant!

LeannieRVN · 04/07/2017 21:02

Thank you everyone for the lovely journey, and all you kind words. I don't want to scare or upset anyone by posting updates on my status. I'd really like you all to continue this thread, and supporting eachother. Take care all. I wish you happy pregnancies and beautiful babies xxx

@LeannieRVN I'm so sorry to hear your news. I had one earlier this year and no matter how far along you are it's not a nice thing to go through. Wishing you all the best and I'm sure we'll see you back here with good news soon.

How is everyone else? I'm 7 weeks now, classing each week as a milestone. Have my early scan on the 14th so really looking forward to that. Symptoms have arrived with force. All day nausea and I'm utterly exhausted. Anyone got any remedies and don't say eat cos I'm gonna end up the size of a house Grin

@sadie2017 I take laxaday which is helping me. It's not technically a laxative so is very gentle. I'm not back to normal but it's better than where I was a week ago.

@Roxx1988 You're definitely not alone with the symptoms. I have huge spots, fatigue, constipation, nausea........I'm sure there is more too Blush

@Anna2006 Oh must have been so nice to see on the Ultrasound, did you get a picture? I want to see.

cakesandphotos · 10/07/2017 17:53

Had my booking in appointment today. I'm going for an early scan next week and I found out I'll be under consultant care from 16 weeks. Pretty excited to see baby next week but I'm really nervous too!

poppylou27 · 10/07/2017 18:38

Awww bet you can't wait @cakesandphotos

I ended up going for a private scan last week after some really questionable symptoms..
All showed baby was fine and even got 2 little pics to take away Grin

sadie2017 · 10/07/2017 20:23

I'm 10 wks and scan ain't until 31st July. I'm desperate to know all is okay and excited to see baby x

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 10/07/2017 21:48

That's great poppylou27. I've got a private scan on Friday. I'm super nervous as I've had really erratic symptoms - unlike last time when I was in a dreadful state all the time. I'm trying to keep my mind off it but can't help dwelling on it a bit and how I'll cope if it's bad news. My DH says I'm meeting trouble half way!

poppylou27 · 10/07/2017 22:03

It's only natural to feel like that @LorelaiVictoriaGilmore I know exactly how you'll be feeling! I've booked a holiday for a couple of days after my 12 week scan so I've managed to distract myself with that whilst I wait for the 12 week scan xxx

RS123 · 10/07/2017 22:26

Hi,
I had a panic last week over lack of symptoms and had a private scan on Thursday thinking I was out, and it was the most amazing thing ever to see his/her little heart beat. Got my booking in on Wednesday. Due date was two days out so 23rd Feb :) So tired, slept most of the weekend, heat not helping. How is everyone?

boopdoop · 11/07/2017 07:10

I managed to get an early scan at the hospital ok Friday when I was 6 weeks. I'd had a mc last year a 5 weeks, had a few bits of blood early this time so got it checked and all was good with a heart beat. Very relived. But 12 week scan feels like ages away, 15th aug. Got lots of symptoms, tiredness, sickness, etc, which is awful but reassuring!

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 11/07/2017 11:20

Having a holiday booked after the 12 week scan is a great idea - we're going to France when I'm (fingers crossed) 14 weeks.

I'm taking my ds on a big outing on Thursday (his behaviour is awful at the moment and I think he needs a 'mummy day') so that will hopefully distract me from my scan on Friday.

I am, at least, feeling fat and sick today! I was still in my skinny jeans at 20 weeks last time, but this time my clothes are already feeling tight. I hope that's a good sign and that I'm not just getting fat for no reason!

Glad RS123 amd boopdoop had good early scans!

Mrstobe90 · 11/07/2017 11:28

I'm 8 weeks today and had a scan a week ago and saw the heartbeat! Was so reassuring but I'm still nervous about 12 weeks so understand how you're all feeling!

poppylou27 · 11/07/2017 11:42

You're not on your own @LorelaiVictoriaGilmore with the non-fitting clothes.. all my skirts no longer fit around my hips/bum and my figure hugging dresser I can no longer wear as I have a protrusion around my lower abdomen (bloating or baby I'm not quite sure hahaa).

As someone who has had an eating disorder in the past it's hard to deal with atm but I'm trying to wear my baggy clothes and put it to the back of my mind.. I wouldn't mind so much if I had a proper baby bump as I'd embrace it but atm I just look like I'm getting a bit chubby haha!
Xxx

cakesandphotos · 11/07/2017 12:00

Lovely to hear about all the heartbeats! I'll be 9+2 when I go for my scan next week. I'm so excited but I'm also really nervous in case there's nothing there. Not much I can do either way but I just want to know!

Mrstobe90 · 12/07/2017 18:48

Is anyone else really struggling with morning sickness? Every time I eat, I puke!

Kpo58 · 12/07/2017 21:29

I feel nauseous if I don't eat something every hour. So not good for the hips...

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 12/07/2017 21:53

Sorry you're struggling Mrstobe90. It does nearly always get better around week 12. I still felt sick until about week 16 last time - was so sick I almost had to go to hospital to be put on a drip, but it still got better!

I'm not suffering so badly this time. Some days are bad, but mostly just a few hours of nausea here and there. I haven't actually been sick yet, but plenty of time for that!

boopdoop · 12/07/2017 22:51

Oh it's awful isn't it Mrstobe90, it's just kicking in for me, and I'm remembering how horrible it was last time. Did start to ease by 12 weeks and ok by 14/15 weeks last time so just counting the weeks... eating regularly really does help, mine is so much worse if I feel hungry, as then I can't face eating and so it gets worse and worse. Hope you are doing ok. x
