First baby due mid November [Edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

[KatieKat88]

I got my first ever BFP this morning! Excited and terrified. I tested last Sunday, got nothing and resolved myself for AF to appear mid-week. No sign of her, had lower back pain, sore boobs, nausea and a quick dizzy spell and thought it was time to re-test! Got a ridiculously strong line (but will still be put getting a few more brands to make sure). DH and I have been TTC since around Christmas after I came off the pill - both 30. Obviously it's very early days but we're every pleased!

Anyone else due a first baby mid November? It'd be great to chat.

I got my first positive today at 10 dpo so due 22nd November I think can't stop doing tests

Hi ladies :)
Feeling a bit tentative as I got my bfp today! 12dpo due 19th November.

Congrats ladies! I'd be due on 13th November if a 28 day cycle but not really sure of my cycle length yet - first since being off the pill was 34 days, last month was 27 days. So who knows!

Any symptoms?

Hi all,
I'm the same - tested on Wednesday after feeling sick and no sign of AF. Think I'm 5 weeks today and due November 😊 my boobs are soooo sensitive and I have been feeling sick on and off. Congrats all

Congrats Sleepy!

Congratulations to all 😊 I tested yesterday, 10dpo and got my first ever positive! DH is trying to not get excited until at least after my missed period, which I'm trying to do too - but can't help get a bit giddy! Keeping everything crossed that all goes well. I think I'm due around 19th November. X

Congrats Nell! So exciting!

Hi all, I got my BFP yesterday and confirmed it on a digital today. AF not due until tomorrow or Tuesday so I'm tentatively checking in. NHS website says due date is 19 November. I've done 4 tests so far and will do one more Tuesday then I'm stepping away!

It's our first month ttc so I feel like it's too good to be true. Sore boobs and nausea here are slightly comforting though!

Congrats ladies! I have had sore boobs since Thursday which I rarely get. I'm due af on Wednesday so it's still early days. I'm 4+4 with quite a strong positive on a frer.

Congrats everybody!

I got a positive last monday, tested again wednesday and again today! this is my test from today :)
I know a bit much testing but am nervous

I am 4 weeks and 3 days today and am due the 14th of novemver

Congrats Currer! Did another test this afternoon - definitely positive! Now I need to decide what to do about my hair appointment next weekend - I normally get my hair coloured so would want the advice of my hairdresser in terms of hair dye, but don't really want to tell her this early!

@KatieKat88 I'm having the same issue! I was due a colour next week but think I'm going to wait now until after 12 weeks just to be on the safe side.

I was just thinking this I will be 7+4 next time i need my hair done so thinking of hanging on aswell as get highlights and root colour

Hi All,
Hope you don’t mind if I join? I’m new to Mumsnet, but got a BFP over the weekend, due around the 12th of November, first baby. Got sore boobs over the weekend, a few dizzy spells and feeling nauseous on and off but don’t know if that’s because I’m excited/nervous!! Nice to be able to share on here :)

Congrats T1ff! My lower back is killing me today! I blame work. Rang the doctor earlier and they said to go in and fill out a form so they can arrange first appointment with a midwife. Scary!!

Thanks Katie!! Congrats to you (and everyone else) too!! Ooh that's exciting, I've been wondering when to call the doctors to get booked in - don't want to seem too much like an eager beaver. I've also been getting some cramps so presume it's all normal

I was a bit too eager- the receptionist gave me a form and said to bring it back when I'm 8 weeks 😂 they could have mentioned that when I rang this morning!

@KatieKat88 I think it varies from area to area though! I called today (4+1) and was referred to the midwife service who have made my booking appointment for 4 weeks time!

I'm also incredibly anxious already. I'm considering an early scan at 7 weeks to check for a heartbeat but I know ill worry more if there isn't one/my dates are slightly out. Has anyone else though about early scans?

Congrats @T1ff4ny !

I'm going to book an early scan actually. DH has always been against them when chatting casually about ttc but now we've had the bfp he's totally changed his mind.

@Chanel05 when are you looking to book one? I feel like they're quite expensive for what they are (it's £80 for 15 mins here) but would put my mind at ease! DP is happy to get one if I want one but I don't think he is worrying like me.

Congrats @T1ff4ny!

It's strange how it's so different for different areas! I've just made an appointment with my practice nurse for next Tuesday for a midwife referral.

Hadn't thought about an early scan but I'm feeling quite anxious too so might look to see what the deal is!!

Still feels very surreal at the moment.

I think I'll call again in a couple of weeks just to make sure - I think they must mean to have a first appointment with the midwife at 8 weeks? Hope so anyway! I hadn't really thought about having an early scan. I think I'll probably hold off unless I'm worried - I'm getting enough symptoms at the moment to know that there's something in there!

@dottydally yes they are about £80 here too. It's expensive right!! DH wants us to have one two weeks today so I'll be 6+6 and then he wants another at 9 weeks.

@Chanel05 I'm planning to book one for exactly 7 weeks (the day before Mother's Day) but knowing us we'll end up having another!! I'm not expecting to see much but a heartbeat will make me happy. How are you feeling?

@dottydally sounds great! Do you think you'll find out the sex? I've had really sore boobs but nothing else actually. Still early days though. Have you had any symptoms?
