Hi,

I just found out I'm pregnant with our first DC at lunchtime today.

Obviously very early days and anything could happen but thought it would be nice to have a little group who are due around the same month to share experiences and hand hold if needed.

Anyone around who is due in March?

@LoveRainbow02 what I was trying to say but went off rambling, is that it's worth calling as they are in good position to tell you if you need one and don't feel embarrassed about seeming like a time waster or whatever. I felt like that at first, then I thought, this isn't just an I growing toenail or something, I'm growing another human inside me like something out of alien, that's pretty crazy and if you can't go see a doctor / hospital about that then what the hell can you go see a doctor about! Also, sadly I've had family members misdiagnosed for things, won't go into details, but we pay for NHS, and this is a new life so it's worth asking for help

I called and the midwife said I would get a reassurance scan but wouldn't be until 8 weeks so I've booked a private one for next week.

TidmanK · 17/07/2017 13:53

I finally managed to get hold of the hospital and they said they will come back to me with an appointment next week! Hopefully they'll get me in for a scan sooner rather than later! Just need to decide if I still go to the Drs on Friday with my questions or just wait?

BlueeSpottyTiger · 17/07/2017 14:50

Aww that's good rainbow
howdoyou the ingrowing toenail comment made me giggle! 😂
Tidman Glad you got in touch with them!

I'm waiting to find out when my 12 week scan will be... if its before my holiday I'll not book a private one i don't think. If it's not before my hols I'll need to have one otherwise I'll be worrying the entire time im away!

issy2165 · 17/07/2017 19:17

Managed to call my doctor today she's seeing me tomorrow for a full assessment and then referring me for an early scan so fingers crossed!

howdoyouworkthisthing · 17/07/2017 19:22

BlueeSpottyTiger · 18/07/2017 10:52

Winter how far along do they think you are? Compared to what you thought you was? Xx

Winterc00kie · 18/07/2017 11:00

i'm not sure, the midwife said it should be 5 weeks according to AF on 14th June. 5they can see a sack like i said, they are going to check results for blood and go from there .

BlueeSpottyTiger · 18/07/2017 12:04

Yeah you might just not be as far along as they thought you were. It's positive that there is a sac! Goodluck xx

Winterc00kie · 18/07/2017 12:26

TidmanK · 18/07/2017 16:15

@issy2165 Don't be nervous it'll be lovely!!

Is anyone else struggling with being exhausted by the time afternoon rolls around? I could fall asleep at my desk right now! 😴

issy2165 · 18/07/2017 16:52

I have a really active outside job so the fresh air keeps me going but as soon as I step in the house I'm a gonner especially after I've eaten dinner! 😕

coastalchick · 18/07/2017 17:01

hey ladies. Can I join. Have had a whirlwind of a week. OH and I decided to start trying in june (we had prev agreed to try in april as we had just bought a house together but then the pressure got a bit much). Used the OPK's and DTD twice. Friday OH proposed. We had set a december date yesterday and told family wedding happening. Did test this morning (having got a BFN on a FRER on sunday) and faint line (boots early test). Did a clearblue digital - got a BFP 1-2 weeks. Did another FRER and got a BFP though a fainter line. Went to docs and another faint line. Just did a standard preg test and a BFN! Hoping it's just because that one isn't sensitive enough. Surely 4 different brands of test can't be wrong?!

So due end March and we've now had to tell family and friends we can't do wedding because of venue and people not being able to make it!

Have not read this whole thread yet but like someone else said, not sure I quite believe it. Esp as am 39 in september!!!!!

coastalchick · 19/07/2017 12:11

arrghhhh, help! So I did another FRER this morning and the second line was barely there. Is it possible this is just a chemical pregnancy?!

I also got to work this morning and the girl I share with had something wrong with her. So I ended up having to tell HR I was pregnant as I am SO paranoid that something is going to go wrong given my age. HR told me to just go home. I'm off from tomorrow afternoon for the rest of the weekend so have now asked if can have tomorrow morning off too. So shouldn't see her until monday by which time, hopefully she'll be non-contagious.

I know I'm probably just being paranoid but I put my body under so much stress with my career until a year and a half ago that my hair started falling out, I suffered depression, panic and anxiety attacks, acid reflux and IBS. I EVEN put off having pre-cancerous cells lasered off my cervix as I had a big case on at work. Until I was getting sick so often I just had to quit. I'm putting the baby and myself first this time and if that means I end up leaving work (this job not stressful at all) then so be it!!!!

Bumpkin21 · 19/07/2017 12:23

Hi lovelies, please may I join?

I got a BFP last night!! Which makes EDD March 28th, so I'm 4 weeks on the dot.

This is first baby, and it feels very surreal. I definitely don't feel preggers!! When did you guys start actually feeling different?
