Due January 2019

[waitingforbubbles]

Anyone else had a positive test recently and due in January 2019? Natural cycles says I'm due 3rd Jan 😊 would be lovely to hear others in the same boat!

Currently 4+2 so really early days still.

Hi all,
I'm new in this thread, I am 7 weeks today (due 8 january), pregnant with my first child, so everything is pretty new to me (also because I live in Uk for 2 years now but don't know anything about the NHS, I was very surprised that the first scan is at 12 weeks!.) I have just few symptons: my breast hurt so much! but luckily no nausea yet , I just have a problem with my blood pressure, 80-40 so I feel very tired.
BTW I hope to know you better, learn a lot and share with you all the beautiful moments that are coming :)

@valladebby same due date as me :) 🙈 good luck and congratulations xx

Hi all how is everyone doing?

I'm 8 weeks today!!

I have my first MW appointment on Friday and it can't come soon enough!! I feel absolutely horrendous at the moment. I have no energy at all and feel like Ive been hit by a bus!! Had to take yesterday and today off work as I just don't have the energy to get up.

DH thinks I might have anemia but guess will have to wait and see what MW says and what bloods show. The thing that is annoying is that I'm sleeping so much I don't know why I'm still tired and I'm eating plenty off food and drinking lots of water, I just feel like I could sleep for the next 7months at the moment!!

Sorry for long rant xxx

@sexnotgender and @socktastic I’ve just done another two as it still doesn’t feel real! I’m only 5 weeks today so maybe that’s why 🤣

Oh no @DareToDream89!! I’m hoping my tiredness gets better as I genuinely fell asleep at my desk yesterday when nearly everyone else was in a meeting 🙄 woops! I’m gonna ask to be checked for anemia when my bloods are done but I have to wait til 25th June!!

I’m slightly older too at 36, this is my second but my first is 14! Little bit of a gap...

Literally minutes after posting that last comment I went to the loo and had brown discharge when wiping after a big poo (sorry, TMI!) and REALLY trying hard not to stress and worry as everywhere on google says brown discharge is normal and OK, it’s red/pink you need to worry about. Has anyone else had any “spotting” yet?

@littleemma1 i had some very light pink discharge last Thursday and have had a scan since and all ok heard the heart beat :)

No cramping and was only a little that day

i think best to call MW and she should put your mind at ease, or go to GP and get a referral for early scan!! its such a worrying time they are usually quite helpful. hope everythings ok

Has anybody experienced being light headed, dizzy and shaky?

@DareToDream89 have you ever had your thyroid function checked?

I'm 8 weeks today, too, @DareToDream89! I have low energy as well but it's been made worse the last five days because I've had a cold. I've found I'm usually tired every other day and yeah, when it hits I am totally wiped out and need to rest or nap. I have still had the energy for walks and a bit of sport, though, so if you're worried I'd raise it with your GP, no harm to check it out.

@LJFM2B I’ve been light headed and dizzy. No shaking though. I’m 5w+2.

@valladebby @MrsH1990 I have the same due date as you too (kinda.... I'm living abroad so the UK sites give me the same date as you but French sites put me a week later)

@loopdeelou no I haven't.

I'm hoping it passes after 12 weeks. I don't get paid for sick days from work so I can't afford to not be in xx

@DareToDream89 I'm really feeling awful and exhausted myself but have an underactive thyroid which can get worse in pregnancy and make the exhaustion worse. I get this checked via blood test when I see the midwife but don't know if this is something you could have checked if it's not anaemia. I hope it passes too. Am struggling to do anything at work! Feel like I'm just waiting for each day to pass and wishing time away in the hope that I feel better soon.

@sexnotgender iv read its all normal and just to do with extra blood flow or low iron ... its just happened this morning and still dont fell 100% so im going to keep an eye on it ... reassuring that im not the only one though :)

Glad it's not just me who's exhausted then! I'm 6 weeks, still managing normal daily routine but feel like i could lie down and fall sound asleep at any point in the day, finding afternoons particularly hard going. I hope this doesn't last the entire pregnancy

I have eaten none stop this morning. It's then only thing that's kept me feel in relatively normal. Sickness feeling isn't too bad but was like a big wave when I woke up.

We're telling our parents on Tuesday & I've been trying to think of sneaky ways to announce it. DH thought he could casually just say "oh by the way, what do you prefer, grandma or nana?"

Hey guys I'm 4 weeks several tests last few days and Cb digi confirmed. Feeling stretchy crampy pains and Cannot stop eating in the afternoon then it calms down lol xoxox

@m4rdybum that was how we told my FIL. He was like "you're not? Are you?"

We told MIL by getting a jumper for our cat that said "I'm going to be a big sister". My MIL loves our cat so it was a good way to tell her.

For my parents I just blurted it out!

@LJFM2B sudden moments of that but nothing long lasting. My head is pounding today.

I have no appetite in the morning AT ALL. Haven't eaten breakfast since Friday. Not bothered about eating in general actually but when I sit down to do so it's gone in seconds. Does anyone else have this? I'm 4+5

I really want to eat healthy but all i really want is beige food!! its only been the past 3 days but i had sweet potato at lunch and ate it so so so slowly because it was making me gag . (no shops local to my work so i have to eat what ever i bring in)

Monday i had toast at 19.30 and went straight to bed after

@m4rdybum announcements are lovely, i didn't do anything fancy this time because of previous MCs but 1st time i said i wanted a new family photo, then pressed record and announced it so i got all the reactions on film!! was great memory xxx

My trust doesn't let you self refer so had to pop to the drs today. He was already trying to push me into a c-section as I tore badly last time. I fear it's going to be a fight to have a vb and a bigger on as I want a hb this time.

On the bright side I have my exemption forms to send off. Just in time too, as my other one is about to run out

I just had a positive result on Sunday, so I'm due roundabout the 20th Jan 😊

@littleemma1 I've had loads of spotting. Also cramping a bit too. I'm not sure if I did last time too but I'm a bit worried. I've done at least 2 years each day since Saturday just to check!
