Part 2 - anyone found out they are pregnant and want some buddies

[CL1982]

Hurrah! Here is to thread 2.

Any newcomers please feel free to join.

Awww congrats @CL1982 sooo adorable

I've just had a particularly painful cramp/ stabbing pain.

Should I be worried?

Congrats @CL1982!!

@FairfaxAikman how far on are you? Everything is stretching and sometimes if you move too quickly it's like you have been stabbed. Don't worry.

@CL1982 ahhhhh hello baby. How cute

Aw yeay @CL1982 I've been thinking of you today.

@fairfaxaikman if it was just a one off pain/cramp it's unlikely to be anything to worry about. Lots of changes going on so stretching pains egg are quite normal as @MummyG said..

My toddler has been a nightmare the last few days not sleeping, really grizzly etc...turns out she has a nasty ear infection. No wonder. Bloody love our NHS....phoned the surgery at 6pm (my partner came home took a look at her ear and was like yeah we need to take her to the GP asap-talk about mummy guilt) got told to come up straight away...were seen by 6.15 by a lovely GP who did not make me feel like a neurotic parent and was like if she's no better in the morning just phone and I'll prescribe antibiotics over the phone...

Only five weeks mummy

Oh @CL1982 that is amazing! You must be so excited after today!

@fairfaxaikman I've been getting what feel like strong period pains everyday for the last 5 days, the internet and nhs website have reassured me (enough for now) that its normal, but seeing my dr on weds so will check back in if he says anything different!

Thanks guys! Really excited.

@FairfaxAikman You do get some weird cramps and things. I've attached a pic of how much the baby has grown in 6 weeks-literally it does some mental crazy growing in those few weeks. It's insane. So your uterus is doing some really mad stuff.

Any worries just let us know. It is so scary when it happens I know. But a certain amount of light cramping is totally normal. Everyone told me you can get round ligament pain at 7 weeks and...I totally did. Midwife said it does happen.

By the way who else has scans coming up?

Mine is Wednesday.. ..cant wait!!

I won't have a scan for ages

Feeling like vomit is definitely on the cards today, but have to say that one slice of toasted Seed Sensation, scraped with butter, is giving me life before
I leave the house each morning

My next scan is not till 11th sept, but hopefully we get to find out if peanut is a boy or girl can't wait

Anyone else with a Fitbit with a HR monitor?

I've been watching my heart rate rocket since I found out - it's normally in the 50s! (61 at absolute most, but average is 56/57)

My scan is on Thursday next week :) Glad yours went well Claire!

@Fairfax.. ..lots of hormonal changes going on which affect your bloodflow and therefore your HR (which is still absolutely normal) so I wouldn't worry. Could also be a bit of dehydration if you're feeling or being sick and not managing to keep much down.

@CL1982 I love your progress photos....i had scans at 8, 10 & 12 weeks with my first and the difference between those scans is unbelievable. They go from a blob to baby in such a short space of time. Xx

Found it

Anyone else have continuous painful breasts? Mine are just not letting up....they seem to be growing by the second!!!

@CL1982 loving your scan pics. I had a scan at 8 weeks and thinking of having another next weekend!! Followed by my dating scan at week 13!!!

Yes I just found out 2 days ago that I am roughly 1-2 weeks pregnant with my first

Congratulations @Jv83! How are you feeling?

Me!!!! Scary pregnancy world is upon me!

@KerryLeanne84 and @SS81C That is so exciting. @Lauralou031986 Also exciting! I'm on the fence about whether to find out or not....

@FairfaxAikman it is so cool isn't it. Don't panic if it goes down again though later on :) totally normal.

@Summerblush1982 yes mine are pigging agony today. No sign of them stopping.

Did anyone else have their dd changed btw after their scan? Gone from 2 March to 27 feb!

CL yep - was actually my first clue when it jumped to 63 the day before AF was due - is never above 61 normally.

@FairfaxAikman I find the whole process fascinating. I love how signs are science now ❤️

@cl1982 it's not unusual for DD to change from early scans to your dating scan. Think it's due to size of baby so even a tenth of a mm could make a few days difference....
