Due February 2019...

[Kilkers]

I’ve just had my BFP after 3 years of trying, will be DC2 (touches wood). The NHS due date calculator has my due date around the 2nd Feb. Anyone else ready to jump on board?

So sorry to hear this@LouiseD2018. Hope you are able to go home soon 

@LouiseD2018 So sorry to hear this, how heart breaking for you all. Sending you all the best!

@LouiseD2018 I’m so sorry for all that you have been through. I hope you’re alright. Sending hugs

@LouiseD2018 how awful for you, I’m so sorry. Hopefully you have lovely people looking after you x

I'm so sorry @LouiseD2018 how awful for you. I hope you have lots of good support in RL x

So sorry @LouiseD2018 I had an ectopic a few years ago. Although I was lucky and avoided surgery it was very traumatic. Take care of yourself.

@LouiseD2018 I'm so very sorry for what you've had to go through, I hope you're able to go home to your family asap.

So sorry to hear about this @LouiseD2018, hope you able to go home soon. Please take care of yourself.

It's crazy reading all of your stories about when your appointments are - just that it can vary so much between the trusts in the different areas!

Took another test yesterday, I know I should stop POAS but got to do something to reassure myself before the second early scan on the 23rd.

My midwife appointment is actually on the 22nd, the day before, does anyone know what goes on at that appointment other than information/booking in? Does the midwife do any kinds of tests (urine etc.)?

waves to @jeanzbeanz & KimRobs87 - another Yorkshire (North Leeds) lady here as well so will be good to see what kinds of timescales you guys get!

Oh @LouiseD2018 I'm so so sorry to see your news-I can't imagine how awful this is for you. I hope you get home really soon xx

@MamaSarai - hello! Another Yorkshire bird 😂😂

I believe at your first they do info etc but take blood too. If I remember right I'm sure I had to give a urine sample but think they checked for protein? (Never actually confirmed my first pregnancy). I think they book your 12 week scan too xx

@LouiseD2018 - sending love xx

Thank you, everyone.

Il hopefully be leaving tonight or tomorrow still waiting to find out.

Good luck all with your pregnancies I hope your journeys are a smooth going as can be x

@KimRobs87 - lol!!

That's great thanks, I actually had a read of the NHS antenatal appointments guide (rather than just glancing at it) and it does say they do a BP and urine test. No mentioned of bloods though:

www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/antenatal-appointment-schedule/

My BP has always been super high though - fingers crossed it doesn't cause any issues . The 22nd feels like such a loooong time away! Trying to stay chill (not succeeding )

I’m in Scotland and my booking in appointment isn’t until I’ll be 10 weeks! I’ve got my scan when I’m 12.5 weeks. When I had my dd it was different and everything was done at the 12 week appointment.

I’m so bloated. I look 5 months and I’m not even 5 weeks yet! I’m hoping that calms down a bit.

I honestly am looking so huge and pregnant 😨 even vaguely wondering if my last period was actually an implantation bleed and I'm 12 weeks, not 6. Of course this is basically impossible as I'm only just starting to get pregnancy symptoms and I did a FR test last weekend which said 2-3 weeks pregnant. But I've got so much stomach!! It's not particularly wobbly or soft like bloat either. Anyone else?!

@somethingfromnothing Cross posts!! It's not just me then!

No I know what you both mean - feeling so fat and bloated, put some trousers on this morning that I fit into fine this time last week and today they are really tight and uncomfortable. Boobs are feeling weirdly bigger as well, don't know if it's real or all in my head

Boobs are huge but I expected that. I didn't expect to have a round belly and not be able to fit into half of my clothes at 6 weeks 😔 despite eating about half of what I used to

Glad I’m not alone! I think I’m going to have to wear some loose dresses and leggings because my skinny jeans look and feel awful!

I'm dreading the bloat, purely because my uniform doesn't have a lot of leeway, and not sure how to ask for the next size up without a) them guessing I'm pregnant, or b) assuming I've become a massive pig over the last few weeks!

I’m definitely at the bloat stage too! Any one else still doing pregnancy tests, just to make sure they’ve not imagined it or is that just me?!?

@Wordie yep 😂

@Wordie - I've done one cheapie and I have one left, that's my excuse, I had already bought them.

Feeling very bloated and increasingly nauseous, I feel hungry but there is nothing I want to eat.

Bloat stage for me too! If I didn't know my cycle you'd really think I was 5 months lol x

Yesss @Seafoodeatit hungry but nothing I want to eat sums me up too! So far today I've had an apple and three crumpets. I'm sort of dizzy and hungry but don't know what to eat - don't fancy anything!

Evening ladies.

Same with the bloating...just 4 weeks and a bit - so literally just - and i look 6 months never mind 4 weeks - im hugely bloated.

Genuinely couldnt care how uncomfortable i am though as long as our little squidge is ok!!

That said - the wind....................oh god.... LOL
