July 2019

[gne123]

Hello, I'm new to Mumsnet... still figuring it out... but we have just found out we are expecting a little bundle of joy in July... so thought I'd reach out to other mums expecting then too... xxx

When I went to the loo this morning and once this afternoon it was a tiny bit brown when I wiped. It was very very light brown. That’s ok isn’t it? X

@regina I’m 4+2 and I’m getting cramping/twinges. Feels like a dodgy tummy really! X

@Giraffe888 pink and brown is ok. Red blood should be checked out xx

I’m currently 5+1 and I don’t have sore boobs or any sickness. Actually my boobs may be a little sensitive but I’m still breastfeeding and my daughter has taken to pinching my skin so I can’t be sure that it’s not from that. I sometimes feel a bit nauseous but nothing drastic yet. Didn’t feel really crap til about 7 weeks last time though.

Regina I have lots of cramping. I know what you mean it feels like an upset tummy- lots of gurgling and bubbling going on too. I also can’t remember what it was like at this stage last time either- and I only gave birth 9 months ago!! I think when you have a baby you actually deliver your ability to retain information too because my brain is absolutely useless since having DD 😂. I also wonder if more cramping is a thing with second or more pregnancies. Possibly that your body remembers what to do or perhaps because your uterus never quite goes back to how it was (although pretty bloody close which is fairly impressive considering how big it once got!!).

I’m just muddling along. Don’t feel particularly grotty yet, don’t really feel anything but anxious really. I am trying really hard to think positive or at least go with “no amount of testing or symptom spotting is going to change the outcome, it is what it is”. Currently have no reason to think anything is wrong so I’m hoping that continues!!

@giraffe888 I am 6+1 and have had brown discharge when wiping - was worried but from the internet seems to be ok! First baby so not sure! My widwife hasn’t been in touch yet after I’ve filled out an online referral form.

Hi is it ok to join? Found out on Wednesday I was pregnant with DC2 and should be due around the 31st July. Reading some of your comments reassure me about the lack of symptoms at the moment! It's so hard to remember what it's like being pregnant!

I’m still like Rod Stewart.. feel like I’m on a boat. Super tired-why? Sore boobs, twingy round the tummy. I also know I have two massive fibroids (size of oranges) above my uterus. Which shouldn’t be too bad but probably explains why I feel soooo bloated. Hope everyone is doing ok and have had a nice Saturday so far.

When I was preg with DS1 I didn’t even know until the morning sickness took hold because around the time I had my period I had enough spotting etc to make me think it was a normal period. It wasn’t until I had felt sick continuously for 5 days I started to twig. So I think a bit is ok but a lot accompanied by heavy cramping would be worth checking out I think.

I’ve still been getting a dull ache in my lower abdomen, although it does seem to be getting better. I think I am going to push for an early scan just to make sure everything is going to plan. X

@squeakybubbles26 welcome and congratulations! I’m due the day before you x

Are you ladies using any apps to track pregnancy? Xx

Joining here if that's ok. 4+3 and due 31st July. Boobs feeling a bit more sore the last few days, tired and sense of smell is really apparent.

@senorasurf I'm using the Ovia pregnancy app . I used the Ovia conception app before and used both last pregnancy too! Although this is my 3rd now so feel like I'll prob be a lot more chilled and end up not updating it ! But it's nice to read the weekly updates and see what size of fruit it is haha

I’ve got pregnancy+ and Ovia. Love the first one x

reginaphalange89 I love the fruit updates too! I am somewhere between an orange seed and a pea at the mo

I’ve just been googling updates - might get an app.

Welcome mrsof20118 Laughing at your sense of smell. My husband always comments on my sense of smell. It’s much stronger than his. Can only imagine his response if it gets stronger! X

Hi @mrsof20118 if my calculations are correct I'm due the same day as you!

Is anyone experiencing morning sickness or have they in past pregnancies? My first pregnancy I only experienced nausea (that's bad enough) through the first trimester! And the usual aches and pains the rest of the way through. However I know no 2 pregnancies are the same!

I’ve not had nausea yet but whilst eating my cereal this morning I felt very slightly sick x

@Squeakybubbles26 nausea and morning sickness here. Started as extreme nausea every morning. However the sickness kicked it twice throughout the day yesterday! Xx

@squeekybubbles - I’m not sick yet but did experience it in my first pregnancy. Most nauseous but it was 24/7 from week 7 to 14. I was only actually sick on a few occasions.

I was thinking - I am due 23 July according to my last period but I know date of conception and that puts me almost a week due later... I’m prematurely worrying about this, but I hope this doesn’t effect things later down the line. I’ve heard they only leave you a week and then it’s induction. Hope I’m making sense x

Hey @mrsof20118 ! Nice to see you over this side ! You were on my TWW thread ! Hope you're well, congratulations! I'm due 2 days before you on the 29th :)

@georgeofthejungle I wouldn't worry, I'd go by your period dates, once you've had a scan they might move your dates !

@squeakybubbles26 ive no sickness yet but I'm only 5 weeks so too early I think . I've had two previous pregnancies and was sick with both from about 6-15 weeks! I mostly remember feeling nauseous but I definitely did throw up a few times . Sometimes I actually stuck my fingers down my throat because being sick relieved the nausea for a while 🙈

Hi ladies, I'm only 4+4 but I remember form my last 2 pregnancies (only ever got to 10 wks) I had twinges and cramps almost every day.
I've had some the first few days but this last week I've not had any. Today I've got pains in my left ovary area like throbbing.
I'm taking progesterone so worried this is delaying an inevitable miscarriage..
Any advice or experience at this early stage? X

@ReginaPhalange89 @Georgeofthejungle I remember the nausea being bad enough. I'm not the best with being sick (mind you who is)! X

@Delilah7 how you feeling today? x

@Squeakybubbles26 still pretty rough. Was heaving a lot but nothing's come up today. Hoping morning sickness is a good sign though

Need my spots to go down tho. Is sudocrem ok??? How're you x

@Delilah7 ah no way. Hopefully it will settle or ease for you soon! I think sudocreme is fine, as long as the spots aren't broken skin maybe? Or anyway it could be absorbed into your blood? I don't know though! I'm feeling not to bad the odd groggy ness tho thanks, hard to tell if I'm feeling groggy from pregnancy related symptoms or just in general! x
