Aw @another just a week after me! I'm 30 Nov x

AnotherOriginalUsername · 31/03/2018 10:19

Apparently I'm likely to give birth slightly early, I hope so as 7/12 is my nephew's birthday!

Blondcat · 31/03/2018 10:55

I'm 4+6 and yup bloated looking forward to the trouser extenders I ordered turning up in next few days as everything tight. Boobs still a bit sore and fuller, slightly nauseous and peeing a lot.

Survived my first night not drinking! Had friends staying with us, one of who grilled me like mad..... I'm just getting over a water infection so the cranberry juice in the fridge and antibiotics in the cupboard were enough to convince her! Got to get through a wedding tomorrow 😂.
Are you all keeping it under wraps? Any top tips? X

ND348 · 31/03/2018 12:55

@Waiting4babyN1 hoping everything is ok, it must be really scary for you. I have my fingers crossed for you xx

Deedoll · 31/03/2018 12:57

Hi Ladies,

Hope there's room for me on here! I'm 37, 5 wk + 3 days with first baby. Super overwhelmed by it all as I didn't think that it would happen so quickly as we conceived after the first month of trying! EDD from my calculations is 28th November SmileNo morning sickness so far, only sore boobs and feeling more tired that usual.

First booking in appointment on 22nd April which seems sooo far away, what actually happens at the appointment?

Can't wait to see everyone's pregnancy journey - all the best xx

Waiting4babyN1 · 31/03/2018 13:31

@ND348 thank you lovely, I’m absolutely terrified and scared that even when I have the scan next week, it will be to early to see a yolk sack, I’m really really scared :( xx

Dyra · 31/03/2018 19:15

Joining in!

I'm 31. This is my first pregnancy after having been trying for a year. Thanks to PCOS and highly irregular periods, all I know (thanks to the wonders of those Clear Blue dating tests) is that I'm about 7 weeks and due mid-late November.

Absolutely petrified I'm going to miscarry. I work in Gynae and emergency Obstetric theatres. So should the worst happen I would not only have my colleagues know very quickly what had happened, but then know some had seen me at my lowest and most vulnerable should I need surgery. On the other hand I am not worried at all about needing a section or forceps delivery. My proximity to the delivery suite meant that one of the scrub nurses and I got to "borrow" one of the mobile scanners last week and did an informal scan. We didn't see a heartbeat, but we're pretty sure we saw a posterior high placenta and a ~1cm white 'lump' that we think is baby. It was a fairly low res scan and neither of us have any experience in sonography, but to have saw something kept me from my former levels of stress for a few days.

Since then, I have returned to max levels of stress, and one sleepless night after some blood and bloody mucus discharge. However, it was just after some fun times with my husband and there's been no further bleeding. So fingers crossed I'm in the clear.....

Other than that, I've only had: mild cramping, sore breasts, on and off all-day nausea, clear vaginal discharge and recently my sense of smell and taste have gone into overdrive.

Dating scan is on the 16th April but no booking appointment date yet.

Sorry about the wall of text. But I'm just so happy and yet so stressed at the same time!

TL;DR
31yr old PCOS sufferer ~7weeks with 1st pregnancy. 1 episode of blood + mucus.

EL332 · 01/04/2018 11:18

So many ladies here now!

Congratulations to everyone for your BFP's!

Happy Easter today too! 🐥🐣🐤

How is everyone doing?

I'm just approaching the 7 week point...

My boobs are relentless and so sore...

I'm still exhausted ....

My cramping has reduced now...

I'm feeling rather nauseous but have only been sick once....

❤️

How many weeks are you now and what are your symptoms?

Emma198 · 01/04/2018 19:06

I'm 5+2. Boobs ridiculously sore and I'm so so tired. Nausea comes in waves and isn't there all the time, cramps are becoming less frequent 😊 still so anxious. X

EL332 · 02/04/2018 00:36

@Emma198 it sounds as though we're having quite similar symptoms doesn't it 🙂

HungryN · 02/04/2018 10:58

@EL332 @Emma198 my boobs hurt so much, particularly at the end of the day. My cramping is beginning to subside. I’ve been a bit funny about food - I usually have a massive appetite but it has reduced quite a bit. I was meant to have a pasta dish for dinner which I was looking forward to all day but when it came down to cooking it all I wanted to eat was cereal!

Pigeoncat · 02/04/2018 11:11

I’m due on 2nd of December. Have very hurty boobs, need to wee constantly (although that’s not unusual for me Hmm )
and feel super breathless when... doing anything.

Emma198 · 02/04/2018 11:49

@HungryN mine are far worse at night. Feel like they might drop off! Lol.

Aridia · 02/04/2018 12:43

Hello ladies! Do you mind if I join in?
I just got my first ever BFP and I can't stop smiling!

I'm 31, and my dh and I had been trying for 12months. If basically given up. Stopped using OPKs and we only dtd once this month! We were booked in for fertility tests this month. I have endometriosis and adenomyosis so I'm considered high risk for miscarriage.

My app is telling me my due date will be 8th December. I have a GP appointment in the morning anyway, so I'll talk to him about it then.

Congratulations to everyone!

Emma198 · 02/04/2018 13:35

Aaw congratulations @Aridia. Lovely news! I'll keep everything crossed for you xx

Dyra · 03/04/2018 14:05

Fears seem to be gradually coming true. Sad Had a second bleed yesterday with worsening cramps. It's calmed down no

Dyra · 03/04/2018 14:10

Accidentally hit post Blush

*now. Had urgent scan and apparently I appear 5 weeks, not the 7-8 I was expecting. But with my periods being so irregular and if onset of symptoms happened quickly, it's not outside the realm of possibility that I am only 5 weeks. I might be deluding myself, but it's what is keeping me going right now.

Having a second scan next week to see if there's any growth if no changes before then.

AnotherOriginalUsername · 03/04/2018 16:11

Can anyone who has had their first midwife appointment tell me what to expect? Does my husband need to come?

Deedoll · 03/04/2018 16:56

I would love to know this too as I have no idea what to expect at the first appointment. TIA

Rachie1986 · 03/04/2018 17:03

Can I join even though it'll be my second DC??

I'm 5 weeks. Have a 4yo DD.

Regarding first midwife appt, it's just taking loads of information, all the normal details plus any family history of pregnancy problems and other related stuff. Fairly mundane and boring (although interesting in that you finally feel you're getting somewhere and are actually pregnant!)
My DH didn't come to that one and wasn't needed. He came to the scans and 16week appt when you hear the heartbeat.

AnotherOriginalUsername · 03/04/2018 17:51

Thank you Rachie1986, and congratulations :)

He's decided he's coming. He's waited a long time for this pregnancy and is very excited!

jld1202 · 03/04/2018 18:41

Hello all  wondered if I could join you - DH and I have been ttc for 2 years for our first baby. We had confirmation of PCOS last month and due to start Clomid next month when, huge surprise on Easter Sunday - 4 strong BFP's! Over the moon and can't believe the timing! EDD 8th December but pretty anxious about things going wrong so still POAS daily!

Aside from slightly tender boobs and a kind of "hungover" ( I havnt drunk for 10 years!) feeling, main change seems to be the amount of time in the loo for twosies! Anyone else having this? Xx

mollymoo0 · 03/04/2018 21:44

Hi everyone

I'm 5+5 today with my 2nd baby. The midwife booking in appointment is not very exciting, they will check all your details are right, Weight and height etc. They will double check the hospital you want referred to and prepare and give you your green folder which comes to all appointments with you.

Not very exciting really I will go to mine alone also as they don't check anything else so no need for dp to come to that.

Rachie1986 · 03/04/2018 22:05

Hi Molly. How olds your first child?

Ljd I have IBS and had to come off meds due to pregnancy so probably not the best person to answer that!
