Due October 2019

[DustyShoes]

Hello. I thought I'd start a thread for anyone that has had the good news that they are due October 2019. We can go through these looong early weeks together.

I'm 33, first pregnancy
Cycle 6
Currently cycle day 21/12 doo. First BFP at 10 dpo.

I am now testing daily to see if my BFPs are getting stronger. Also still checking temps. Anyone else feel like they have to tip toe around at this stage as everything seems so fragile?

My names hattie btw x

@Frizzy1986
This is exactly why I was panicking! My boobs felt like they had been deflated and I was thinking the worst but everything is fine so please try not to worry! Apparently hormones come in surges. I was measuring exactly where I should be based on my dates. Have a chilled Sunday, I'm sure everything is fine xx

Thanks @topsy15 I'm going to be chomping down on some cheesy pasta as I definitely think it's proper nausea starting. I just feel travel sick all the time. Its come on slowly so I'm not sure I clicked until I've started to realise that I didn't used to always feel queasy all the time.

@Ann mine began 5+1 or 5+2, and still going strong. I'm carrying twins, so that may be why it's very bad. But how far along are you?

I'm curious, do you guys have any "instinct" on your baby's gender/s?
last pregnancy I was convinced it was a boy, but I miscarried too soon to tell. This time, I feel like at least one of the twins is a girl.

How about you?

We were adament our first was a boy. No idea why, but we were. Midwives all thought so too because of position and heartbeat, but it was a girl.

Last time I thought I'd have a girl as I felt sicker, and I was right. But it wasn't some kind of magic gut feeling. Well. It was definitely a feeling in my gut...

@Frizzy1986 I had a second degree tear with my first. Stitches unraveled and ended up with a haematoma so it took quite a while to heal. Still get occasional discomfort from it when pressure placed on it (e.g. when speculum used during cervical smear) so I'm very concerned about tearing again. I just don't see how the scar tissue is going to stretch!

@Ann88l nausea kicked in for me yesterday at 4+3. Thankfully not been sick yet but I'm sure that's coming. I was nauseous from 4 weeks with my first pregnancy and started being sick from 5+4 😩

@WingingIt09 @MamaDane I'm currently 4+6. I'm not really getting any symptoms other than occasional cramps and tiredness. Rang EPU today and they said they'll scan at 6wks. I do feel different this time round but still very worried about another MC

@Ann at that time I was complaining to my DP that I wasn't having enough symptoms, because with my previous pregnancy (mmc) I was nauseous from the day I tested positive (3+4) but yeah this tine around, it took a few days and I regretted complaining.

Is anyone suffering with serious tiredness- im finding looking after an energetic 2yo challenging today 😂

I'm shattered playing with my 5 year old

Hi can I join

31
Second baby
Should be due 18th October

My partner is away until Wednesday so haven't told anyone yet.

I am having zero symptoms so I'm actually really worrying about telling him as just don't feel pregnant at all. Tests come back positive but no feelings. Don't feel it's fair to not tell him but really not wanting to. Ha ideally hide it until 12 weeks

I'm due October, yet to find out the exact date (scan is planned for 26th feb) but following ivf we've worked it out to be due the 10th

I'm 26, first pregnancy
2nd round of ivf

I'm super excited, doesn't feel real. I'm scared too, only symptoms I have are the occasional period type pain, heavy and tingly boobs and I'm only just now getting my sex drive back a little bit (it literally disappeared from the 2ww onwards, poor DH haha)

I haven't had any food cravings or sickness yet

Hi! Congratulations everyone!

I’m due October 4th - currently 6 weeks 2 days. I’ve had some nausea and sore nipples and tiredness. For the past 2 days I’ve had a small about of light brown creamy discharge. I had a MC in November so I’m finding it hard not to worry :( I’ve booked a doctors appt for tomorrow so we shall see!

Welcome and congratulations to all the new ladies!

I'm 6 + 3 now, and had a fair amount of pink spotting from week 4 to week 5. I knew that they wouldn't scan me at that point as it was too early so I just stuck my head in the sand basically! I've had no further spotting for about a week, touch wood!

I've just done a digital pregnancy test with weeks indicator and that says pregnant 3+ so I'm feeling incredibly relieved that it seems like it wasn't a sign of bad things to come. It was super light (literally a spot or two on wiping) but you still worry don't you (especially after having a MC).

I have my booking in appointment with the midwife on Thursday so I'll mention it to her and see what she says.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi there - I’m looking for some advice or guidance. I found out I was pregnant 3 weeks ago and I can’t decide what to do.
A bit of background on my situation - I’m 37 years old and wasn’t in a relationship with the father when I found out. We have lived together for 5 months as house mates, so he’s not a stranger.
Being male I feel he is thinking with logic not emotion and thinks the best option would be to abort as we don’t have any foundation at this time. I agree, but I’m very stuck on everything happens for a reason and perhaps the universe knew we needed this before we did. Although it’s his preference, he’s a good man and will support me the best he can.
We’ve since started a relationship which is going well, but not in love yet (maybe it will come). But although we have good flow, we don’t have much in common.
I’m like a pendulum going from one decision to the other and have no idea how I’m going to make my final decision, with time ticking. Currently I’m 7 weeks. I don’t want to go against his wishes, but just not sure how I’ll handle going through an abortion either. There are pros and cons for both. I also never wanted to be a single mother, and there’s a good chance that’s the way I could end up.
If anyone has been in a similar situation or has any advice, how did you get to the final decision?

@Ann88l it's good that EPU will scan you, is it because of your previous miscarriage? Mine won't scan unless you've have recurrent miscarriages so as I've had only one I don't qualify. Currently going back and forth on a decision about paying for an early scan. I think if I saw a heartbeat it would reassure me but then if there was no heartbeat or I lost it after that it would be more heartbreaking than previously when I hadn't had a scan 🤷‍♀️

@TanRob that's such a tough position to be in! You might be better off starting your own thread (these ones then to mostly be a chance for us to moan about symptoms...)
In your shoes I'd try to get some counselling ASAP, BPAS offer counselling if you are not sure if you do want an abortion- and they won't hustle you into having one. You need to weigh up potentially being a single parent vs potentially not being a parent. Only you know where the balance is for you

Hi everyone!

I got my BFP on Friday! I'm 5 weeks and apparently my due date is 17th October (which is a few days before my birthday!)

I'm 32 and this will be our first baby. My husband is over the moon, however I admit I'm slightly terrified about becoming a mum. The pregnancy wasn't exactly planned, we did throw caution to the wind but only once! But I guess once is all it takes.
We've only just moved house, so I've been really stressed and exhausted lately.
I'm also worried as I take medications for migraines, and although I don't want them to do any harm, I don't see how I can live without them even temporarily.
I've also had to tell my boss, even at this early stage, because I'm a nurse and often work with a magnetic imaging device which pregnant women shouldn't be around.

Excited but nervous!

Haven't even registered with a GP in my new area yet, so I'm off to do that today!

Nice to meet everyone here :) hope your pregnancies are going well!

Hi everyone! I think I'm about 6 weeks along but my drs won't see me until 4th March.
Do you think that's a bit too long? What would you do? I think I'll be about 9 weeks by then.

Hi @neuroticnumpty. Congratulations. When you say the doctor won't see you til 4th March do you mean that's when your midwife booking appointment is? If so, it's normal to not be able to see them until you're about 8 or 9 weeks pregnant.
If you're in the UK, there's not much a GP will do for you other than tell you to take folic acid, don't smoke and say congratulations if you're lucky!

@faelavie congratulations! Hope your new GP can help you work something out with your medication.
