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?

@scoobysue10, emotionally/mentally I am feeling better today, the feeling of doom seems to have left, but as I was getting ready to leave work today I had some more of my constipation problems, so working from home this morning to see how it goes.

Let us know how your appointment goes, I still don’t know when mine is

Helen290 · 25/01/2018 10:13

@Scoobysue10 ah good luck with your midwife appointment 🙂, I'm still waiting to book my 12 week scan the bloody X-ray department haven't received my paper work yet from the midwife so can't book it yet hoping by tomorrow I can.

So today marks the same stage I got to with my last pregnancy that ended in early MC, I'm 5 week 6 days, I've got loads more symptoms this time round and I just feel differently in my self so I'm hoping this one sticks!

Can anyone recommend something to drink that doesn’t make nausea worse? I’m so dehydrated but even the thought of a drink makes me ill. I can’t drink any tea (even ginger), any cordial (too sweet), not even water on its own. Cold coke would be good but it’s got caffeine and I can’t really drink more than a can a day. I feel like I need a cold salty drink but what is that..?! Anyone come across anything that goes down well?

missamy94 · 25/01/2018 11:12

Squidgy I have found that Sprite Zero works wonders for me, it eases my nausea a lot, along with little packs of gingerbread men

Helen290 · 25/01/2018 15:22

I ended up leaving work cause I felt so Ill i feel guilty because I'm not ill exactly it's just pregnancy symptoms, my doctor even offers to sign me off for a few weeks but I said no I think I just need a couple of days hopefully by next week I might feel a little better

niclw · 25/01/2018 15:42

Went for my scan this morning. Saw the little heart beating. Based on measurements they said I'm 6 weeks 4 days. I thought I was 6w6d but she said the likelihood was that by 12 weeks they will change the date again. Only 6 weeks and 1 day till my next scan (not that I'm counting or anything) x

Scoobysue10 · 25/01/2018 15:55

Squidgy have you tried drinking cold drinks with ice. When I have bad days I find that really helps as only fluids I can stomach.

Booking in went well ladies.
Took about an hour. But had a trainee midwife as well as midwife. They were both lovely as my situation is a bit unique.
I will be midwife and consultant led but I new that would happen anyway.

Probably go and get my bloods done tomorrow.

How is everyone today.

PinkyPromise77 · 25/01/2018 16:02

Ohhh sorry to hear Helen that you are feeling so poorly. Hope you get some rest lovely.

Yay for heatbeat niclw!

Fx I hear it too tomorrow on my scan.... EEEEK!

SquidgyMcPidgy I found mint or chamomile tea helps me... haven't been really sick yet just slight nauseous moment... latest one at 2 am last night :/ I had to eat something to make it pass... LOL!

niclw · 25/01/2018 16:29

Thanks PinkyPromise77. Good luck for tomorrow. Just a warning that you won't be able to hear the heartbeat though as it's too early. I really wish I could have had a video of it as it was beating so fast x

PinkyPromise77 · 25/01/2018 16:33

Thanks niclw I should be 6w 4 days tomorrow so very close to you :) My Due date currently is 17th Sept :)

Francesca1999 · 25/01/2018 17:51

Hey. I am currently 5weeks and 6days. I'm due 21st September. Can anyone work out the dates I may have concieved? Thankyou!!

Helen290 · 25/01/2018 18:00

@PinkyPromise77 thank you I would like to say after resting I feel better but I have zero energy I feel exhausted and nauseas on and off all day I just don't want to do anything 🙈😔 I feel great full that my symptoms are still here as I would worry like crazy if they went but it's Dam hard.

Tobebythesea · 25/01/2018 18:07

Hi everyone! May I join you? I’m 7 weeks and due around mid September. Second child. Dating scan 20th Feb. No nausea compared to the first time but there is still time! Exhausted though.

Scoobysue10 · 25/01/2018 18:13

Cannot believe that.
Have fancied Chinese all wk. Finally get to have Chinese tonight and only managed a few mouthfuls. Started feeling ill again. I have noticed I am better during morning and afternoon than compared to the evening.
So disappointed

Francesca1999 · 25/01/2018 18:38

When did I concieve can anyone find out for me please? The most likely date I concieved? I'm currently 5weeks 6days. And the first day of my last period was 5th December 2017. Baby is due 21st September 2018!!

Francesca1999 · 25/01/2018 18:42

Not sure how to use this website lol

Kkk87 · 25/01/2018 18:48

@Francesca1999 hi, if you have an "average" 28 day cycle I would say you conceived around 19th-20th December

Kkk87 · 25/01/2018 18:52

If you're dating yourself from first day of last period tho wouldn't that make you 7 weeks 2 days ? @Francesca1999

Francesca1999 · 25/01/2018 19:02

.

Francesca1999 · 25/01/2018 19:04

Hi everyone I'm new to this website. I'm only 5weeks 6days. Doctor said I concieved late because my periods are irregular. Just trying to work out the dates as I had sex with my ex around the end of December and I have a new partner now x thanks everyone x

Kkk87 · 25/01/2018 19:10

Oh ok. Maybe 29th December? I'm no expert tho. Someone maybe be to help you better @Francesca1999

Francesca1999 · 25/01/2018 19:11

Is there a way I can work it out on the calendar thankyou x

TeaVee · 25/01/2018 19:11

I joined this when I found out I was expecting but I had an ectopic 2 weeks later, how do I unfollow this thread on the app?

PumpkinPatch000 · 25/01/2018 19:17

Thank you @Kiztok congratulations too! How did your appointment go?

@snowy1982 thank you for letting me know about the vaginal ultrasounds. I'm pretty naive to all this and only really heard people talk about the 12 week scan before. i'm 4+5 and I have a GP appointment in a few days, do you think it's likely they'll do a vaginal scan or just want until the 12 weeks?

Congrats on your pregnancy! x
