Hi ladies,
Excited to say that today I got my BFP and am due 1st January 2020!
This will be my third baby but my partners first. I have two children aged 9 & 7 from a previous relationship.
Anyone else due around New Year? Sticky beans to all! 😀💗💙

@Kinsters it's awful, on Saturday I would've known for two weeks and I think I get more worried each day even though I know statistics are getting better! Best of luck at your early scan!

I've got one a week today, it can't come fast enough!

@dumdumdeedum don't worry about lack of symptoms, maybe it's a girl this time!!

Maybenextmonth · 02/05/2019 13:42

@Herewegoagain19 thanks for asking. Thankfully it had passed by the time I got up this morning and I haven't had anything today. Was bizarre. I may try sleeping slight day up.

I didn't realise trouble sleeping was a symptom so early on. So that's come as a bit of a surprise?!

Herewegoagain19 · 02/05/2019 14:30

@maybenextmonth your body is already going through so many changes.Ive also notices my mood since last week It's very "meh" as in the emoji movie !!!Lol. But illnsee if it was just last night lying down or if this is it now....alreadyndreaming of a big pregnancy pillow Smile

HayleyPayley10 · 02/05/2019 15:15

Congratulations to you all!! I got my BFP yesterday and approx due date 8th Jan 2020. First pregnancy for me and I'm naturally worried/anxious. It helps to read other peoples symptoms/accounts etc to reassure myself that I'm not going crazy.
Trying my best to relax about it all!!

Kinsters · 02/05/2019 15:51

I'm so bloated as well herewego! Hopefully it goes down a bit cause my jeans only just fit as it is.

Ahh 1 week isn't too long to wait Daisy. Mine is 2 weeks on Saturday. At the moment I'm calm but I'm sure I'll get more nervous as time goes by!

The trouble sleeping is weird right Maybenextmonth I understand it later when the size of the baby makes everything uncomfortable but why the difficulty now when we're full of sleep inducing progesterone? Doesn't make sense.

When I was pregnant last time I started cuddling a pillow between my legs to sleep and I've just kept on doing that as its so comfy.

Chantalle3 · 02/05/2019 16:11

@herewegoagain19 interesting that someone else is saying this. I normally sleep on my belly but I've noticed that if I'm leaning in the left hand side of my belly it feels like I have swelling there, not on the outside, just that I'm leaning on an uncomfortable lump? Nothing in the right though.

Then today I've had an odd "sensation" in the left side of my pelvic area all day. It's like a cross between a pressure, a twinge and burning. I can't pinpoint what it feels like. Part of me worried it might be ectopic related but I guess I can only wait till early scan? The rest of me is telling me to stop being a bloody worry wart and leave it be! It's not painful, it's just not comfortable and means I'm constantly aware of it. Anyone else??

Millsss · 02/05/2019 16:23

Hi ladies I hope you don't mind me joining! Congrats to you all for your BFPs!!!! :)

I got my BFP this morning and by my LMP puts my due date at 4th january, it's my second pregnancy but my last one ended in an early miscarriage!

Sorry to all the ladies here that have been through MC :(
I watched a lady on YouTube that had been through 4 MC allay different stages and when she fell pregnant for the 5th time she decided to stop the worrying and to let herself get attached and excited because what will be will be!
It's not fair on anyone to put that amount of worry and stress on yourself, every pregnancy is different and it's an amazing and beautiful thing! Hope this helps someone :) xx

Maybenextmonth · 02/05/2019 21:47

@Herewegoagain19 I've always wanted a pregnancy pillow. Hopefully tonight is a bit better!

Congrats @HayleyPayley10 And @Millsss !
Such a happy but nervous time! How're you both feeling?

@Chantalle3 I also had a pain in the right side of pelvic area, really low down. It was like a stabbing pain though. I really freaked out and spent the night googling about ectopic pregnancies! Luckily it had gone by the next morning. Fingers crossed yours passes as well. Is it just today you've had it?

Millsss · 03/05/2019 05:05

@maybenextmonth hi Hun it's currently 5am and I've been awake an hour already with horrible achey legs!!!!
I'm definitely feeling a lot different to last time with symptoms gradually building! Tmi but got really sore nipples anyone else have this? Xx

Maybenextmonth · 03/05/2019 06:00

@Millsss oh no!! That's horrible. Do the achey legs stay constantly or does it come and go? I've had the achey legs but I think I've read about some other ladies having it.
Yes!! Everyone else has achey boobs but I have just sore nipples! In a way I want my symptoms to get a little stronger as at the moment they are fairly mild!

Bayleyf · 03/05/2019 06:11

Glad it's not just me who is awake early. I keep waking up at 4am for no apparent reason. It's immensely annoying!

Gettingonabitnow · 03/05/2019 06:34

Hi!

CAC5 I’m also due jan 1st! This is my second. How you feeling?

X

Gettingonabitnow · 03/05/2019 06:35

And hi everyone else!

Millsss · 03/05/2019 07:26

Glad it's not just me with the achey legs! It seems to be worse later on in the day, except this morning it seems to be making an unwelcomed appearance!!!

@maybenextmonth your symptoms will come I think it's 6 weeks they start getting a bit stronger don't they?
I did another test this morning 48 hours after the last one and the line is getting darker which is very reasurring!
Hope everyone has a good day :) xx

Chantalle3 · 03/05/2019 07:34

@maybenexttime @Millsss I haven't had the achey legs but mine are just the nipples to. Especially the shower on them 😣

Chantalle3 · 03/05/2019 07:36

@maybenextmonth sorry just spotted your reply as well! Most days I have the "awareness" of a sensation in the pelvic area, mostly on the left. Mostly just a pressure though. Will be interesting to find out if that's the side placenta and everything develops on - maybe its implanted on the left side?

Millsss · 03/05/2019 08:44

@chantalle3 oh my god shower on the nipples is horrible isn't it haha!!
Wonder whether it will ever calm down?!
I've definitely got that 'pressure' feeling as well!
So I'm 5 weeks tomorrow just wondering whether to let the doctors know as I had an early miscarriage last month? Xx

Maybenextmonth · 03/05/2019 09:37

@Millsss @Chantalle3
Yeah the shower is so bad isn't it. When I had Pilates last night and led on my front that also really hurt them!

Good point about the implantation side. Would be interesting to see if it correlates. I've had some weird feelings this morning in there but nothing I'd say feels too painful or wrong. I also get the sensations every day.

Anyone else feeling really irritable and short tempered? Not sure if it's just me but people at work are getting to me today for no real reason! Confused

BFPhopeful2019 · 03/05/2019 09:43

Hi All, got my first BFP this morning at 9DPO. In absolute shock but so thrilled. I was convinced it wouldn’t happen this month as we didn’t dedicate as much time to DTD as before and only managed a few times but obviously it worked!

Think my due date will be 11 January 2020!

Millsss · 03/05/2019 09:54

@maybenextmonth
Yeah I've always got a feeling something's going on in there but like you it's never painful! Omg so irritable, was sat behind a really smelly guy on the bus this morning and that started to really annoy me!

Congrats @BFPhopeful2019 so happy for you!!! :) Maybe that's why you have a sticky bean this month because you out no pressure on it! You must be really early on?

BFPhopeful2019 · 03/05/2019 09:57

@Millsss Really early days, just 9DPO but have a hen do this weekend so thought I’d test to rule it out so I can drink my body weight in prosecco. That’s out now 😂. Going to have to pretend to drink all weekend! My plan is to drink gin and tonic made up of just tonic 😂

Maybenextmonth · 03/05/2019 10:24

@Millsss I'm the same with a girl here who has an irritating laugh. I'm getting so mad with her!!

Congrats @BFPhopeful2019 how exciting. The hen do might be tricky, good luck with the not drinking! Smile I think we're going to have to tell our I'm laws next week as we're going away with them for a week. Don't think I can avoid alcohol and coffee all week without them knowing! Are you having any symptoms yet?

HayleyPayley10 · 03/05/2019 10:57

Thank you @Maybenextmonth
I'm feeling okay, sore/achy boobs and twinges in the pelvic area. Trying not to think about things too much!!!

With you on the irritable side though!! I've never really suffered with PMS but this is making my hormones mad.

BFPhopeful2019 · 03/05/2019 10:59

Some small symptoms. Was quite dizzy yesterday and feel a bit sick today (DH thinks it’s all in my head!) m, but otherwise quite normal!

I can imagine it would be hard hiding it with the jn laws for a week!

Herewegoagain19 · 03/05/2019 11:00

Ladies...How hard is it to try forget about being pregnant every second of the day?It's literally sitting in my mind and I can't forget!

Has anyone had any spotting?This morning I've very small amount of kinky streak when I wiped after a pee...of course I'm starting to panic now and can't concentrate in work!
