September babies 2018

[Pinkslink17]

Hey everyone I thought I'd start a thread for September babies!

I've found out I was pregnant yesterday which was amazing! I'm a first time mum so I'm new to all of this, conceived cycle 2.

When should I contact GP to confirm pregnancy, has anyone got any advice this early on?

@snowy1982 You're a bit further on than me so I've not experienced it myself yet but I do remember my sister saying it felt like her pelvis broke in two every time she sneezed. I think it's just the ligaments softening up

@snowy1982 don't worry I've done that plenty of times already and remember it well with previous pregnancies. I find whenever I sneeze if I try and hold my tummy it helps. But it is totally normal and down to your muscles as they are stretching etc

@Snowy the same happens to me every time! Don't worry x

I had been holding my tummy for sneezes because I usually sneeze quite violently and just thought it might help, last nights came on totally out of nowhere so didn’t hold my tummy.

Thanks, you have all reassured me a bit

Congratulations @Brownbear84 and pleased to see another member of the 40+ club @coastalchick! How are you feeling @OverseastepMom still doing your 5k runs? Sorry to hear about your sleep deprivation @snowy1982 that sounds really tough. My itchy rash has been diagnosed as PUPPP which normally comes in 3rd trimester - lucky me! Apparently it could mean I'm carrying a boy... How's everyone doing today?

@brownbear84 - congratulations! And we have the same EDD (well, presuming mine sticks - petrified after MMC in August and I'm 40 3 days before my EDD).

@GlastoFairy1 - ok, just knicker checking all the time. My IC getting darker each day though so good sign. Seeing consultant tomorrow - we had an appointment booked in because of my age and fact we'd had a MC. They don't normally refer until after 3 MC's but I wailed at my GP and she agreed to refer me (plus I'm offshore so they don't have NHS guidelines to adhere to). Sorry re your rash (and hope it's not painful). Can they give you anything to help?

Sorry for those with sleep dep. I'm waking too early too. But sleeping ok at the mo other than that. Was hard last night as out for my friends leaving do and wasn't drinking. Had to say dry January! I think my friends husband has guessed though as earlier this week it was all systems go re our wedding and we were going to do this June (we'd been hanging on since MC to see what would happen and thought we were out this month!) and then I've done a u-turn and he sort of had a knowing glint in his eye (he's one of my closest friends so can probs tell when I'm lying).

Re sneezing, I get that too! So paranoid it's going to fly out of me - same when pushing out a fart or a poo!

Welcome to all new ladies :)

I’m a bit worried about my cramps too @snowy1982 & @katsanddogs ... it’s freaking me out as got moments where there are just couple shorter stabs on one side so worrying myself about possible ectopic. Ps good luck tomorrow for your scan, hopefully it will put your mind at ease...

I think in general I feel a bit worried as I have nauseous moments throughout the day but haven’t actually been sick so worry if everything is actually going well...

Anyone else around 4w + 6 not been sick yet?

@PinkyPromise77, I am 6w+2 and I haven’t actually been sick yet, lots of nausea and last couple of days heaving, but no actual vomit. Don’t think it’s really something to be too concerned about, I had read that morning sickness (which doesn’t just mean actual sick) generally doesn’t kick in until 6 weeks. I know everyone is different and some get it earlier etc but I wouldn’t be concerned about it

@pinky - yes, last time I wasn't sick until towards 6 weeks anyway so don't worry - everyone is different

Thanks snowy1982. I’m such a worrier anyway and just reading yesterday about how it is a good sign that you are sick so was a bit nervous about it. I think probably the worry part never góra but this initial wait is so frustrating :/

Thanks coastalchick always helpful to know it could be few more weeks...

Regarding the sick feeling, I felt sick most of the day yesterday but today nothing.
Haven’t been sick yet just a feeling of it. By my dates I’m 5+2. I suffered with morning sickness with DS but didn’t start actually being sick until week 7-8. Trying not to worry. Still getting very minor cramps. Anyone else?

@thorsmistress, I am still having cramps but they are a lot less frequent than they were a week or so ago

@PinkyPromise77 when I was pregnant with DC1 I felt nauseous early on but wasn't actually sick until 10 weeks. Everyone is different so try not to worry yourself

I already know I'm going to need a nap today!

Hi all, I think i'm 4+5 and due 18th Sep. Already booked midwife appointment for mid next month. Been getting dizzy when I stand up sometimes, assuming it's low blood pressure. Anyone else?

Thanks ThorsMistress I will try not to worry... and yes still mild cramps here too on occasion.

Captaincake yup moments of being dizzy. Happened to me yesterday when I got up too quickly and just randomly during the day...

Hi guys thought I'd join ... af was due between Friday n today ... lots of positive tests .. due sept 23rd ... fifth bby x

Pleased to see you here cakeanytype 😊
I've been having the stabby pains dpwn one side too pinky. They were really bad the other night and really worried me but once i calmed down they eased off.
I've not had as much pain or nausea the last couple of days, probably because I'm off work and relaxing.
I'm ringing the midwives tomorrow.

Let me know what the midwife says Katsanddogs and hope all is ok x

Oh hi katsndogs 🤗 didn't want to crossover incase I jinx myself ... but here I am ....

Pinky I'm 5+1 and haven't even had nausea let alone been sick. I'm happy about that though.

Hi cakeanytype I was wondering when you'd join us. Congratulations again!

Hi everyone! Hope you don't mind if I hop on? 10 dpo today and got a positive frer 😊 I am a bit nervous as I had a chemical pg last month but allowing myself to be a little bit excited! Going to test again in 2 days and hopefully I will have a darker line

I'm getting really bad trapped wind after eating!

Hi sals ! .... I jus thought if I cum over to soon AF might rear her head but I'm praying it's a sticky

Nk 🤗
