Just wanted to start a new thread for anyone who has just got their BFP.
What do I do now?
When do I phone the Drs?
Help would be great 👍🏻😃

@TwinkleBear DH calls bump poppy due to the my app saying it was the size of a poppy seed when we first found out.

@Lovewinemorethanhusband glad to hear everything is okay, totally worth getting checked rather than worrying.

Congratulations @SafariGirl100
@plantingandpotting and @WoogleCone!

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 21/09/2018 20:35

Thanks girls ! Congratulations to all the new positives also !

RiverMeadow · 21/09/2018 20:36

Congratulations to everyone just finding out. These will truly be the longest weeks of our lives!

TwinkleBear · 22/09/2018 06:55

Congratulations @plantingandpotting and @SafariGirl100 !

I know, it feels so long! I told my closest friend at work and she said oh the time will fly by, you'll see! But now I've known for 2 weeks and it's felt like a lot longer!

3 more weeks until my booking in appointment, and hopefully they'll book my scan date then, as I'll be an estimated 10 + 4 then!!!

WoogleCone · 22/09/2018 07:14

Morning everyone!

My boobs feel like they've been through the ringer this morning - ouch! My only symptom so far, was the same with DD1 though.

Have a great day everyone 😀

Mikewazowskismrs · 22/09/2018 07:37

Hi ladies I’m rejoining this thread as I’ve been AWOL since the start.

I’m 5 weeks today & feels like it’s dragging in but also flying in! Have booked an early scan for 3 weeks today so can’t wait for that. Only symptoms right now are heavy tender boobs!

Massive congrats on all the BFPs, so many may babies ☺️

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 22/09/2018 07:47

Is there a Facebook group yet ? Shall we start one if not, they can be secret so no one can see your in it, I'm in them for my Oct 12 and Jan 15 babies and still friends with the girls now

Mikewazowskismrs · 22/09/2018 07:58

Not as far as I know but this is my first pregnancy so I’m not aware of anything like that, lots to learn 😂

Bettyhop · 22/09/2018 08:07

We call ours "pip"😊 just finished my first night shift since becoming pregnant. It was fairly ok really but I now feel like I've been kicked in the back and rubbed my nipples on a cheesegrater😫 oh..and the constipation😐

Thismummyruns · 22/09/2018 09:16

6 weeks for us.
Got 8 week appointment in the 2nd week of October (when I'll be 9 weeks which has done nothing for my anxiety!) & 12 week scan letter came through yesterday for 7th November!
Still doesn't feel real.

What does feel real are the waves of nausea, overbearing tiredness & constant nighttime waking Confused

buntingandstarcharts · 22/09/2018 09:46

Girlies, is anyone having mild cramps which could be slight period type pains or constipation/has pains? I'm convinced mine are period type pains, very faint but there x

Lorrie3 · 22/09/2018 10:03

@buntingandstarcharts yes I am!! Very mild slightly dull period like cramps it’s freaking me out but I’ve been told
It’s totally normal as it’s the uterus expanding!

Mikewazowskismrs · 22/09/2018 10:39

@buntingandstarcharts not period pains as such but lots of little twinges now and again ! Have heard this is all normal so fingers crossed.

Mummytoboyxx · 22/09/2018 10:55

Does anyone else feel the need to step away from google? Every little twinge or symptom and I’m straight on google! It’s doing nothing for my anxiety 😬 x

Doglady28 · 22/09/2018 11:21

Hey all. Not checked in on this thread for a while. It's been a week since my first positive, it's going so slow! Got my booking appointment through for 17th oct, I'll be roughly 8 weeks by then. Can't wait to get to my first scan ❤
I'm absolutely shattered all the time and my boobs are so heavy. I get occasional cramps that are mild. That's about it so far.
EDD 28th May xxx

user1467718508 · 22/09/2018 16:02

@buntingandstarcharts I've been cramping today (mild) and it's had me really worried. I'm also really constipated though 😂 so it's most probably a combination of things going on down there and nothing untoward.

Also hit by the wall of tiredness today - actually started to doze off in Stratford Westfield - aka, the most hellishly noisy place where no one sleeps ever.

buntingandstarcharts · 22/09/2018 16:26

@Lorrie3 @Mikewazowskismrs @Doglady28 it's good to know we are all feeling similar crampy oddness. It doesn't exactly feel like period pain just something near to it.

@plantingandpotting I think we are due on the same day! Did I already say that to you? So we must be the same number of weeks. I am suddenly becoming tired and my boobies hurt! Ahh I'm just hoping it all goes well for us. I had such a panic mid week about the fear of miscarriage - all my friends seem to have suffered with one so I was just waiting for it to happen - which is utterly ridiculous. I'm being positive! Xx

RiverMeadow · 22/09/2018 19:40

I'm pleased we're all constipated and tired together! Grin

Also I wake 5 times a night! I'm exhausted in the morning!

zen001 · 22/09/2018 20:05

Hi can I join in pls?

I'm around 7wks pregnant and after a whirlwind of a week I got to see my little beans heartbeat last wk.

I've a history of mc and chemical pregnancy so get monitored a little more closely.

There's no guarantees ladies so u just have to stay positive and look after yourselves. Roll on that 13 wk scan!

I've been having mild cramps today also. I'm not particularly worried as there are a lot of changes going on in our bodies but it did make want to join a group to see if anyone else was experiencing the same.

Congratulations ladies on all your BFP's!

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 23/09/2018 09:21

Anyone else have a really painful back ? Mine is on my left side only and is so so sore doctors ruled out water infection and kidney infection the other day and said it was just my bowels moving and causing pain but it's really painful

RiverMeadow · 23/09/2018 09:37

@Lovewinemorethanhusband the top of my back is really sore! Apparently it's our body's preparing for the baby already. I read last night that back pain is really common in early pregnancy. Roll on 2nd trimester!

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 23/09/2018 10:04

@rivermeadow mine is all lower back , my husband has said I moaned at this stage when pregnant with DD but I can only remember the puking with her this early 😂, so I suppose I should be thankful really it's not both yet

Mummytoboyxx · 23/09/2018 10:13

Mine is lower back. I’m the same @Lovewinemorethanhusband I can’t remember having back pain this early with DS, but I definitely remember it in the 3rd trimester!

SafariGirl100 · 23/09/2018 10:17

@Lovewinemorethanhusband Love the username. My god i miss wine so much already! How will I cope for 9 months 😆. A FB group would be great. I find it hard to follow these posts. I dont seem to get notifications other than on email.

SafariGirl100 · 23/09/2018 10:20

@Mummytoboyxx YES. I have had to stop googling!!! I just wish we could fast forward to 13 weeks and be holding that scan picture❤️

I am not suffering any symptoms other than my boobs have doubled in size (DH is pleased) and i am incredibly tired all the time. Am stocking up on folic acid and vege and fruit. It helps me take my mind off wine..... lol
