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?

[ronniemipperton]

I spent all of yesterday whinging about shoulder pain which I’ve just realised is a symptom of ectopic pregnancy. I don’t have any other symptoms at the moment so not panicking just yet but feeling a bit worried.

[Celebelly]

Hopefully it's just an unfortunate coincidence. I think we are probably so aware of every little twinge right now. I feel a bit achey in general - it almost feels like my body was ramping up to have a period and is now realising it shouldn't do that!

[TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong]

@ronniemipperton hopefully as already said, it's just a coincidence. I'm sure if we searched enough there would be a link to every twinge and ache. Maybe you slept funny?? Try not to worry yourself too much at this stage 🤞
I'm finding that if I hold my 2.5year old for a long time my tummy starts to hurt, no idea why though!!

[TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong]

@Celebelly 😁 good signs! I have done 2frers and an out of date Waitrose one... will work my way through the IC that are tempting me! Really want a CB one but can't justify it really!!
When should we chuck out the tests?!!!

[Celebelly]

I'm fizzing though. I'd been using cheap One Steps from a bulk pack and panicking over such faint lines. Then I used a One Step that came with my FRERs and, well, look! Those are all with same urine! I've obviously got a duff batch, or fakes.

[TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong]

Oh how strange!! Least the CB and frer and one of the cheapies is blatantly obviously!

[Tattooedredhead]

@totorosumbrella I hope you are ok! Hopefully it’ll be worrying over nothing! Xx

[hayleyfx]

@Celebelly yeah I don’t trust the cheap ones! They’ve given me false negatives and false positives before. They work about 90% of the time for me but not totally reliable!

@ronniemipperton hopefully just a coincidence and everything is alright. 🤞

[Wellthisunexpected]

Can I join please 👋

Also due 4th Feb.

[ronniemipperton]

Welcome and congrats @Wellthisunexpected :)

Thanks for reassurances on the shoulder pain @Celebelly @TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong @hayleyfx. I ended up telling my mum yesterday as she had an ectopic years ago. Apparently with hers a doctor said not to worry about the pelvic cramps - fortunately her dad insisted she go to hospital where they said she’d have died if she hadn’t come in . Thank goodness for scans/medical technology/better understanding these days! Has put things into perspective for me somewhat and I’ve pretty much stopped worrying about things for now.

I do feel pretty wiped out already though, fell asleep randomly in the middle of the afternoon for two hours yesterday!

[TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong]

@ronniemipperton oh wow! Yes we are really lucky with how we get looked after now, everything has come on such a long way!! I mean, it's fine to have little worries but on the whole everything should be fine 🤞
I keep napping in the car (obvs not when I'm driving! 😂) I also think boobs have definitely grown!

[Celebelly]

Welcome!

I've been up and down all night with cramps expecting the worse but no sign of blood and tests stronger this morning than yesterday. I just wish I knew what was 'normal'. I'm feeling a bit better now, but it really felt like my period was here!

[MiaDenvers55]

Oh @Celebelly what a rubbish night for you 😕 hopefully it's just random normal cramps and nothing sinister! x

[Eyedontknow]

@Celebelly I'm having similar issues, but I've read that can be normal so hoping everything is okay. I've also noticed I only get cramps when lying on my back, not sure what that means. I booked an appointment with my gp just so I can find out if what's happening is normal. Bit anxious about it all.

@ronniemipperton I've been having shoulder pain too. I normally sleep on my stomach or back, but because of boobs hurting and cramps when I lie on my back, I've been sleeping more on my side. Possibly you're in a similar boat?

[jeanzbeanz]

Hey all, according to the NHS calculator I'm due 29th Jan but my cycles tend to be long/irregular so I reckon I'll be due early Feb. Am going for a private scan on 15th so hopefully I'll get a proper due date then :)

This is my first pregnancy and we are very excited (and also quite anxious)! Felt sick when I got up this morning, for the first time. Other than a sore back, burping, and a bit of tummy ache I feel like my normal self. Is that normal?

I haven't booked a Dr appt yet - must do that first thing tomorrow!

When is everyone else planning to make the news public? We have told both sets of grandparents-to-be but not planning to tell anyone else until I've had my scan, although I will probably not be able to keep the secret from my sister for too long!

[jeanzbeanz]

Oh and should add, I have SUPER sore boobs! I do hope they aren't going to stay this way!

Anyone else feeling FAT too? I'm sure I "look" pregnant already, even if the bean is only the size of an orange seed :)

[KimRobs87]

@jeanzbeanz - yes!!! I am so bloated, got a bump going on already at 5 weeks lol xx

[ronniemipperton]

@Eyedontknow that’s definitely possible! I haven’t been sleeping very well at night (possibly because I keep falling asleep during the day) so may well be sleeping in awkward positions. Hope your cramps aren’t too bad.

[TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong]

@jeanzbeanz hi! We're not planning on telling anyone until after the scan. I think I got away with it last week after getting bfp on holiday with my parents and sister and had subtle non-alcoholic drinks! we wanted to wait until the scan with my first pregnancy too, but I had a bridesmaid dress fitting at 9weeks so had to tell family then!
Yes to the bloating!!! and tiredness and hunger and peeing!

[GetInMyNelly]

Hey All,

Got my bfp a week ago now

Second pregnancy, very much wanted!

When shall I call the midwife??

[Eyedontknow]

@jeanzbeanz I wasn't going to tell anyone until the first scan, but now pretty much all family and a few friends know already. I'm super bloated as well, and constipated. Not a fun combo. I've been worried about cramps I've had for the last week and a half and today they seem to have subsided...making me worry even more. There's just no winning.

[TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong]

Hi @GetInMyNelly I rang Drs on Friday to book midwife for the first week in July...seems ages away!!

[Celebelly]

My doctors told me to call in at 6 weeks and I would be booked in!

[KimRobs87]

@TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong - you managed to get away with it then! Haha.

@Eyedontknow - the worrying - I totally get you. Just try stay positive. Xx
