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?

Seriously sore nips tonight! 😖

ladies how are midwives dating a pregnancy i think i may have got mine so wrong? i have irregular periods so i really have no idea what i am i've just calculated from the date i believe to be the night of conception? but are you supposed to add 2 weeks ish to that because my friend who's a midwife said that that's normally the norm if you don't have regular periods or can't remember the first day of last period? i'm so confused and it would probably make sense all these symptoms if i'm further along..

@elocwildflowerxx I am pretty sure you go from the first day of your last period. But then that can’t make perfect sense as everyone has different length cycles. When did you dbd? I would add 2 weeks on before that date if your cycle is rather long x

I’d say that’s about right... my last period date was the 13th May, however... I’m sure I ovulated/conceived on the 27th. So that’d be two weeks difference on a fairly average cycle.

@elocwildflowerxx If you’ve got the Ovia pregnancy app you can add conception date rather than date of your last period and it’ll work it out for you.

@hayley013 I'm not sure which Uni you go to so might be differ. I go to Brookes and we have the option to graduate in September if we don't make the May hand ins or for mitigating circumstances. x

Yeah I think ours is the same, thankyou for reminding me about that @booxox

I'm not sure how it works for certain but I'd imagine if you go from conception it would make sense to add 2 weeks which would then work out the same as going from first day of period roughly.

@MelC83 we've also decided to just wait until normal 12w scan, though we're fortunate enough to not have reason for concern. Still seems like forever away though x

@booxox I go to Brooke’s too! Graduate this August! Small world 😊

I have been exhausted all day and everyday for the past week. But tonight I can’t sleep! So obviously I’m now worried that I’m going to loose this pregnancy because my symptoms are disappearing. Argh!

@elocwildflowerxx they use something called Naegele's rule, which I think they adjust in some way depending on your cycle length. I was taught it in a level biology and remember finding it confusing at the time too! But essentially yes, it's 40 weeks from 2 weeks before conception (ish!). Confusingly I think the clear blue tests that show you 'week' are weeks from conception but I might be wrong about that.

The cleavage tests do it from the day you actually conceive where as the midwife will date from the first day of your last period.

I was so confused by this with my first pregnancy!!

@Leonora94 awww wow such a small world! I hope your graduation goes well! I can't wait to graduate, I've had enough of Uni x

How is everyone today? My skin is awful! I was finding those huge vitamins made me feel bad too so went and got some folic acid and vit d today

@hayley013 - in a word, rough! Lol. I'm OK though really, just a lot more nauseous than my first pregnancy with DS. At least we know it won't last forever (crossing everything as I type!) xx

I wish I felt worse...

I’m still not sure if I’m imagining mild symptoms because I want them so much, or if I really do feel a bit sick, etc.

I am tired and bloated though. Mostly just on edge constantly... I just wish I knew one way or the other how this is going to go 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello every one can I join

I've got my BFP last Monday :)
I've previously had 2 MC so this one I'm worrying about the slightest of things

I reckon I'm around 4 weeks? Clear blue last night said 2-3 weeks

Has anyone got any major symptoms ?
Some days I feel I have a few the others I would
Forget I was pregnant if I didn't know? Just worrying really

Hi Ladies

May I join you?

I am 6 weeks today (based on last period) and also in West Yorkshire (live in Bradford, work in Leeds).

Same as a lot of you I’m so pleased and excited to be pregnant but also really worried about something going wrong!

I’m tempted by this habit some of you have of taking tests just to make sure it’s still positive!

Alice i think that’s normal. I have definitely had symptoms (sore boobs, feeling “hormonal”, spots but different to PMT which was a clue although cleared up a bit already, nausea on and off, mild cramping) but then some days I feel nothing.

It’s about 10 days since my BFP

Very rough today the nausea has been getting worse over the weekend today instead of waves it was constant for 4 hours 😐
Ginger seems to make it worse for me! It's looking like I might need to tell work soon as well as people are noticing my tiredness.....

@KimRobs87 bless you, I'm the opposite, was mega bad with sickness with DD, and not got it as bad this time at the same stage, just nauseous but it tends to go if I keep eating.

I've just had an hour sleep, though hope that doesn't mean I will stare at the ceiling tonight, couldn't keep my eyes open though. Off to the doctors at 4 to have preg confirmed so I can be referred to midwife. Seems a drawn out process

I woke up feeling quite nauseous today everyone at work keeps asking if I'm ok (joys of a small office), I want to keep it quiet until had a scan but that is going to be weeks away given I don't see the midwife for another 4 weeks! Haven't actually been sick but came very close first thing and the thought of eating makes me gag but going to have to attempt something for lunch soon!

But in a way I'm glad to be having symptoms just to remind me that hopefully that means everything is going the way it should do!

@hayley013 - that does seem a long process? My docs don't need to see me and if my first is anything to go by, they never confirmed my pregnancy so don't think will this time? I wish they would lol.

@MelC83 - totally get what you mean. It's not nice but keep telling myself it's because I have a strong little bub growing xx

@AliceRR nice name aha :)

Ahh okay that makes me feel abit better knowing there off and on and I think where I'm early maybe they will develop soon I hope :/ just constant worrying isn't it

@ronniemipperton

@NotAsGreenAsCabbage

I've got very few symptoms too, from what I've read symptoms vary widely for everyone. The odd cramping here and there, very hormonal, a little tiredness but that's about it. I'm 6 weeks +1 and have an early scan at the clinic on Thursday morning. Days are dragging! Good luck everyone
