Haha we must have looked at mums net at the same time as I only seen that comment and then nothing lol

SS81C · 21/08/2017 20:53

I've definitely felt some little pops but can't wait for proper movements. How exciting @MummyG
Glad you're doing ok @blueobsessive I've been thinking about you.

Agree with what others have said. Pregnancy Discharge is weird and waters smell like sperm! Hehe!

Lauralou031986 · 22/08/2017 07:38

That's great @SS81C @mummyGof2boys iv also felt more little movements but not the proper kicks you can feel if you put your hand there, I'm sure it won't be long tho Smile

Massive drop in resting heart rate (71 on Sat to 66 today) and still no symptoms so POAS again and the line came up straight away.
Just wish I FELT pregnant.

Hi ladies, hoping that you don't mind me posting in here as I too have recently found out that I am pregnant. My OH and I have suffered 2 miscarriages in the last 2 years so I've been on pins since the BFP. I'm 6 w + 2 and I've been having cramping and slight bleeding this morning, I did fall up a concrete step earlier. I'm feeling really anxious & wanting to get checked but do you think I'd get an early scan this early?
Sorry to blab on but this is my first and I am a wreck lol.
Xxx

CL1982 · 22/08/2017 08:12

@FairfaxAikman I am 13 weeks and I still don't feel pregnant! I think it's normal. If you can when you go to bed have a chat to yourself and remind yourself you are pregnant and it's going to be ok :)

@KR12 I understand-I had 3 mcs before 7 weeks so I totally get the worry. Please call the EPU asap and ask for one. You may need to go through your GP. If you're bleeding and cramping they should see you today. You'll be able to have a reassurance scan at 6 weeks + Keep us in the loop.

Hope the thrush is clearing @CL1982 , and that it's nothing more than a discharge. How are you today?

@fairfax, hope the cramps are not too bad. That was how I would keep reassuring myself l was preg, have an orgasm then I could feel it hardening, but that was around 13 + weeks and before a real bump《crazy l know 》

Excited for you @mummy, can't wait to feel baby kick .apart from being exhausted and sleepy, l don't feel pregnant at all.

Hopeyou are okay @blue

Mimilicious013 · 22/08/2017 09:42

@laura and @ss, how far along are you? It's exciting isn't it?

Hope you will be okay @KR.

Lauralou031986 · 22/08/2017 10:01

@Mimilicious013 I'm 17wks have you been feeling ok?

Mimilicious013 · 22/08/2017 11:37

You are almost halfway @laura.l am okay dear. When I was preg with dd, I was sick from about 8 weeks until I delivered. It was a combination of vomiting and diarrhea. I am amazed that I can barely feel any symptoms this time around.

Lauralou031986 · 22/08/2017 12:10

@Mimilicious013 I knw it's so exciting, sounds awful for ya for the first time round, glad everything's going ok this time round

CL1982 · 22/08/2017 12:13

@Mimilicious013 thanks :) I think it's clearing up nicely!

Btw everyone am starting to do Squeezys :) There is a great NHS app for £1.99 that reminds you! Def worth doing.

Also my cool book recommended pregnancy yoga for decreasing labour time. 2.5 les hours for some people on average. I also have some files for hypnobirthing too that my cousin gave me. She said they were great.

Last q-if my dating scan changed my dd should I change my apps and what week I am on too?

Hello! Definite yes to the buddy thing! I've never found it very easy to keep any happy news to myself, so I just want to run around telling everybody, but don't want to until after the scan (not even my parents). It would be so good to have people to talk to about this so I don't go mad...DH is doing well, and is very excited, but I know I am babbling at him! Blush I think I will be due April 26th- 28th, so very early days. Xxx

mummyGof2boys · 22/08/2017 13:09

@CL1982 how different is your dad to your edd?

mummyGof2boys · 22/08/2017 13:09

Dd

SS81C · 22/08/2017 13:55

The hospital will probably go on your EDD from your dating scan.
(This may depend a bit on their policy - some places as long as it's within 4-5 days they will go with your LMP others they go with the date from your dating scan).
I'd probably change apps so it was all the same but that's just me - will make it easier when booking appointments etc. Last time I was super funny about telling people my due date just giving a rough estimate so I never told anyone how many weeks i was.
@mimilicious013 I'm 13 week s tomorrow with my second. Proper dating scan tomorrow - excited and nervous!
Ah @Fairfax it's hard isn't it. Most of my symptoms have gone now and I don't have even a hint of a bump so I just kinda feel back to normal which us rubbish.....although I've noticed all my tops feel tight across my boobs suddenly. Haha!

CL1982 · 22/08/2017 14:15

@mummyGof2boys it's 2/3/18 vs 27/2/18

If this baby keeps growing I'll be giving birth in January.

Hey everyone can I join in? Found out I was pregnant last week due 25th April. Eeeeeek so excited! But don't want to get too excited as it's such early days!

mummyGof2boys · 22/08/2017 14:26

@CL1982 I would go with new date and change my apps.

SS81C · 22/08/2017 14:48

It's probably worth finding out which date the midwives/doctors will go by then changing the apps....

CL1982 · 22/08/2017 16:01

Thanks both. That is really helpful. May call the Midwife (lols) now...
