Tentatively starting a thread for those due in March 2020! I got my BFP yesterday and EDD is 3rd March next year. I got my BFP really early so nervously waiting for the days to go by until I feel a bit more ‘pregnant’. This is number 2 for me. Anyone else out there in the same boat?

@barnyb yay congratulations! It's amazing to see isn't it!

barnyb · 19/07/2019 13:58

@Abi58 @MunchyMunchkin thank you! :)
And that's wicked @Pikachu1

@Peachie77 thank you! Don't know how many DPO that was, could be between 10 and 13, AF was due tomorrow. But my test with my DD was so faint, and with my DS was super dark, so maybe i'm having another boy?

Hi everyone, i have been back for my follow up bloods this morning and hcg has more than doubled in 48 hours so they are happy. :)
Also cramps have settled a lot still having the odd pulling feeling but they say this is normal. I’m allowed to have a 6 week scan next week just to put my mind at ease but they said there’s nothing to suggest anything is wrong. Feel so relieved. X

Jampot36 · 19/07/2019 15:56

@MockingJay thats such good news! X

Jesskir89 · 19/07/2019 16:05

Sorry girls I'm in Rome so just trying to catch up. @barnyb and @MockingJay27 both brilliant news! Quick question... I had stomach cramps for a week but nothing much for the last 2 days apart from sore boobs. I'm 5 weeks tomorrow does this seem normal? X

MockingJay27 · 19/07/2019 16:11

@Jesskir89 I've been exactly the same still having mild cramps but starting to ease a little I'm 4 weeks 5 days. Midwife said it's totally normal. If they get severe or you have any bleeding call them or go to hospital xx

Pikachu1 · 19/07/2019 16:17

@Jesskir89
It sounds perfectly normal to me, in my limited experience I've found the symptoms come and go. Hope this helps!

Jesskir89 · 19/07/2019 16:17

@mockingjay27 thanks for that. My midwife said cramps are normal but with them stopping I was a bit worried. I'm constantly on edge though I need to relax x

MockingJay27 · 19/07/2019 16:27

@Jesskir89 I’m the same, but i think they can just come and go. Try to relax and enjoy your holiday.

Jesskir89 · 19/07/2019 16:37

@Pikachu1 and @mockingjay27 thanks both big help and set my mind at ease

barnyb · 19/07/2019 16:38

@Jesskir89 since I found out I was pregnant. I have had up and down symptoms. I had a whole week of constant sickness and feeling absolutely dreadful disgusting. !! And then one day I felt nothing ! I was so worried... and then all of a sudden it all kicked in again ! So don't worry about that. Just go with the flow and enjoy the days you don't feel rubbish. Xxxxxx

Jesskir89 · 19/07/2019 17:25

Thanks @barnyb I know I just need to relax I keep worrying DH too I just need to put the past behind and realise the past doesn't always repeat itself 🤞

barnyb · 19/07/2019 18:13

@Jesskir89 ow bless you. I know it's bloody awful !!! X

Jesskir89 · 19/07/2019 18:52

Thanks hun x

Hey everyone hopping on today after my BFP last night. AF was due Saturday.
Feeling nauseous, which prompted me to test earlier than planned.
According to calculations I'm due 28th March 2020.
SmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmile
Congrats to all!!!

barnyb · 19/07/2019 21:49

@lonelyonee congratulations :). Xxx

lonelyonee · 19/07/2019 23:51

Thank you @barnyb when are you due? Smile

barnyb · 20/07/2019 07:37

@lonelyonee I'm due 5th March. Had my first scan yesterday which measured that I was 7 weeks and 1 day :) have you had any symptoms?? Xx

Keyboard91 · 20/07/2019 08:06

@blondie87 fellow teacher here - very glad to be able to weather the majority of the 1st trimester at home!

Jampot36 · 20/07/2019 08:26

To anyone dealing with the dreaded bloat...asda jeggings! So comfy and quite cheap...so can still dress like normal and not worry about anyone guessing!

Congratulations to those who got their positives yesterday x

lonelyonee · 20/07/2019 08:35

@barnyb the other end of the month for you then! I'm convinced as mines so close to the end of the month could be an April baby.
Yeah I've had some nausea which caused me to test early as it was so strange (sitting in the car was bad, and then I was gagging over the sink once I took a fresh load out of the washing machine).
I've also had pains on and off which I assume are to do with stretching etc...
No cravings as of yet that I've noticed but I am a lot hungrier and I cried over making a phone call the other day so my hormones are definitely having a party haha.

How was the scan?! We're thinking over having one at 8 weeks for reassurance.

barnyb · 20/07/2019 08:52

@lonelyonee oh bless you! It's awful isn't it! That's good you are hungry ! Enjoy all the nice stuff you like because it might be the case that you won't like the look of those foods soon! I had a really bad week last week. Felt so sick and I could smell my husband had eaten garlic 3 months ago! It was evil! Couldn't eat anything because it was all awful to me. this week I'm still getting sicky but it's not as bad. !! I'm going to a friends for lunch / nibbles at 1pm and I'm dreading it! she doesn't know and I'm not going to say either! But it's the food I'm worried about!!!! 😱😱😱
Yes good idea with the scan! Xxxxx

barnyb · 20/07/2019 08:53

@lonelyonee also 28th March is my husbands birthday and it's such a nice time of year! Easter fell on his birthday weekend a few years ago. So nice March/ April xx

lonelyonee · 20/07/2019 10:57

@barnyb Yeah it's not much fun, DP thinks it's hilarious as we learned that just saying the word coffee is making me want to throw up 🙄
Could be worse though so I'm counting my blessings!
Oh no! Hopefully you can find something that you can munch on 🤞🏻
Aww lovely, tbh I'm just glad it won't be a June baby as we have a lot of birthdays that month.
