Hi!!

This week I have taken 4 pregnancy tests, all positive. I’m afraid to get too excited because it is so early. I’ll be 5 weeks tomorrow. I have no other signs of pregnancy so it doesn’t feel real yet. Anyone else in the same boat?

First pregnancy, so many questions but I can’t ask friends or family yet.

Just been for private scan as was feeling really anxious that I wasn't having many symptoms and I'm now 7 weeks (ivf preg).

Pleased to say we have a happy embryo with a heart beating away at 137bpm Smile

Due December 2019

@Twiglet2353
So lovely to see. I've got my midwife appointment tm. I'm going to discuss with her about scan times as although I'm pretty sure I'm correct on my dates I'm massive! Is anyone else ballooning?

xoxhayleyxox · 22/04/2019 17:13

@Josie5555 I'm noticing massive bloat for sure and I'm 6 weeks today! How far gone are you?

Josie5555 · 22/04/2019 17:14

@xoxhayleyxox I'm 8 weeks but noticeable bump. Hard to keep it quiet when getting bigger. I've had to buy bigger clothes ! X

xoxhayleyxox · 22/04/2019 17:31

@Josie5555 ah no way! I think I'm gonna be joining you on that very soon. I have a wedding in Santorini end of next month and no one knows I'm pregnant, think I'm going to have to spill the beans before I go! No hiding it at this rate 😩👶🏻x

Emmilou82 · 22/04/2019 17:40

Hi all,

Hope you don't mind me joining in.... I'm 5 + 3 with an EDD of 20th December. This will be my 2nd after having my sterilisation reversal April 2018. I have a 12 yr old son already but this will be mine and my husbands first child together. Excited but nervous.

Pocopearl3 · 22/04/2019 23:05

Hi ladies, got my bfp, due 30/12! Baby number 4! Am panicking!

SunStruck · 23/04/2019 02:26

@Josie5555 @xoxhayleyxox can you guys see a bump already? My app tells me I'm in my 7th week (6weeks 1 day), and I can't see a thing? Are you both exactly 8 weeks?

I'm very confused by this week counting!

BeckettK · 23/04/2019 03:49

Hi ladies I’m 5wks and 4 days with baby #2 and got so many symptoms that I keep freaking myself out it’s twins! 🙈 defo think I’ll show quicker with this baby too!

Josie5555 · 23/04/2019 06:06

@SunStruck
Morning. I am 8+2. Don't panic. I think it's more unusual to be showing. I think most is bloating but still difficult to conceal (unless I've got my dates wrong) ! I'm an early one in this group due 1/12 x

Kiki061190 · 23/04/2019 09:22

I still haven’t had any sickness ladies! 7 weeks tomorrow with twins. Just feel exhausted and almost a pressure like feeling but apart from that I’ve been ok!

PinkSpring · 23/04/2019 19:13

Can I join?

I got my BFP last week, EDD is 15th December.

This will be our second, our DD is two.

I am excited but also scared, I had an awful pregnancy last time with hyperemesis and I really don't want to go through that again. Over the last couple of days I have started to feel sick, so it is making me panic a bit. It's manageable at the moment though.

I haven't called the midwife yet as last time I had to call back when I was seven weeks before they would even book me in.

funkybum · 23/04/2019 19:35

17dpo today and my tests dont seem to be getting much stronger. Still very much a BFP though. Anyone else still testing daily? Struggling with the anxiety a bit!

Kiki061190 · 23/04/2019 20:07

@funkybum I tested daily up until the day of my missed period and then I tested maybe every week up until my early scan! Only my first response got darker!

@PinkSpring congratulations! Fingers crossed for less sickness for you!

Sleepinglemon · 23/04/2019 20:55

Good to hear about people's positive scan stories. I have an early scan tomorrow at 8+3 and feeling quite apprehensive after a missed miscarriage in January.

1990carey · 23/04/2019 21:06

Got my first scan date through the list today ladies! 22nd of may! So less than a month away! Yay! Had my first bloods taken today as well, was very odd sitting in the antenatal department surrounded by lots of very pregnant women, made me feel no sp pregnant at all!
Also surprised my dad and step mum with the news on Easter Sunday, he was so shocked but so happy! =)
The next 4 weeks came go quick enough! Lol!

1990carey · 23/04/2019 21:07

Sorry that should say through the door!

agteacht · 23/04/2019 21:19

Hi ladies
Also have an early scan this week and very nervous. Will be 7+4 when I have it on Friday. Terrified of another mmc.

I've had a lot of cramps over the weekend but today I have sharp pains in lower back. Anyone else have back pain?

Pocopearl3 · 23/04/2019 23:55

Freaking out my lh tests aren’t getting darker, I have had a couple of positive hog that were getting darker, waiting for more hog tests to arrive Thursday. Terrified to go to toilet just in case... I have a history of mc.

Twiglet2353 · 24/04/2019 05:54

@agteacht no back pain for me yet but hear it's very common in early pregnancy. Sounds like we're due date buddies! Hope your scan goes well x

123heppy · 24/04/2019 10:39

Hi everyone, I'm new to mumsnet. Congratulations everyone! I'm due on 4th December. Feeling tired and pretty nauseous but sea bands have been a life saver for me!

MrsS7 · 24/04/2019 10:41

@agteacht I'm pretty much at the same stage as you (7+3 today), and I have had a little bit of back pain on and off, mine is more of a mild ache though. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about if it's not too severe.

I also have an early scan tomorrow evening, nervous but trying to stay positive as I'm having quite steady symptoms now.

I'm telling my boss today as I feel quite rough and I'd like to tell her before she guesses... don't want her to think I'm just being rubbish! I know it's still quite early but I would tell her if something went wrong anyway as I would need her support.

BirdIsland · 24/04/2019 10:47

@agteacht I've had back pain, particularly on the right hand side.

Has anyone had an early scan at 7 weeks or earlier? I'm thinking of booking an early scan and can get an appointment when I'm 7 weeks (or 6+5 depending on dates!), is this too early? I'm worried that there won't be a heartbeat because it's too early and then I'll be even more anxious.

IHD83 · 24/04/2019 10:53

@123heppy Congratulations! Mine is 5th Dec. I never heard about sea bands. Are they really efective?

123heppy · 24/04/2019 11:03

@IHD83 they've certainly helped me. I haven't been physically sick though, but I imagine they would help take the edge off if you are. They're worth giving a go - around £6 on amazon. Congratulations! X
