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?

I love this thread as everyone gives advice and shares experiences and gives support :) just on my way for scan will keep yous posted x

Just had a catch up after a manic couple of work days. Some of you girls are really going through it, my goodness you are strong!
Good luck today @Jemstar33
@barnyb glad your scan went well!

I had my 1st midwife appointment wednesday, so now its just a waiting game since they dont do any pregnancy checks as standard. We must all be wishing the time away to get to 12 weeks! X

Dinosauraddict · 26/07/2019 09:35

Great news @barnyb and good luck @Jesskir89

Jemstar33 · 26/07/2019 10:02

@barnyb so happy for you!

Good luck @Jesskir89

You’ll be fine @Jampot36

barnyb · 26/07/2019 10:08

Thank you @Jemstar33 xxxx

barnyb · 26/07/2019 10:09

@Jampot36 @Dinosauraddict thank you xxx

barnyb · 26/07/2019 10:13

Guys just want to say. A week or so ago I had the worst sickness. I had the worst send of smell and everything was so awful I felt so ill and tired all the time!!
And then the last week I have of course had the sticky hunger and the odd spout of feeling very tired. But I have been so worried because the symptoms are not as strong was once was. And I was convinced something was wrong. And nothing was wrong at all. Everything was fine on the scan. So that will really help me know not to over think symptoms like I have been doing. also might give some of you some comfort too. X

Dinosauraddict · 26/07/2019 10:26

Thanks @barnyb I think that's helpful for all of us!

barnyb · 26/07/2019 10:32

@Dinosauraddict I just re read what I wrote and some of it didn't make sense but hopefully you get the idea 🤩 xxx

Jesskir89 · 26/07/2019 11:00

Hi girls, had scan but couldn't see baby yet so they did an internal and cam see pregnancy sack and yolk but too early to see baby. Everything looks well but I've got a cyst or inflamed follicle on my left ovary that could have caused the bleeding. Back in 2 week for another scan :)

Jemstar33 · 26/07/2019 11:15

@jesskir89 really happy for you. Make sure you rest and enjoy the pregnancy. It’s hard to remember to enjoy it with everything going on.

I just took a clear blue, not pregnant 💔
Wishing all you ladies a safe and happy pregnancy. Take care xxx

barnyb · 26/07/2019 11:22

@Jemstar33 I hope your ok. Wishing you all the best. And don't lose hope xxxxx

Jampot36 · 26/07/2019 11:29

@Jemstar33 i took 4 tests initially 3 first response all said pregnant clear blue said not pregnant. I wouldnt necessarily believe those, they're not the most reliable...the digital ones have been banned in the US because of them giving wrong results. Dont lose hope just yet. Keeping everything crossed for you. X

Jemstar33 · 26/07/2019 11:32

Thanks @jampot36 but I took one last week and it confirmed I was pregnant

Keyboard91 · 26/07/2019 11:38

@Jemstar33 I’m so sorry it’s been confirmed :( it’s how I confirmed. Thinking of you ❤️ Fingers crossed for a rainbow soon for you 🌈

@Jesskir89 glad to hear that it’s looking a bit more positive. 🤞 for your next scan

@barnyb glad the scan went okay - and thank you the symptoms. Mine change day by day which makes me nervous!

Dinosauraddict · 26/07/2019 11:42

@Jesskir89 that's great news.

@Jemstar33 I am so, so sorry.

Jesskir89 · 26/07/2019 11:43

Thanks girls @jemstar33 I'm so sorry hun hope you're ok. Thinking of you. Don't lose hope as I know it's been a tough journey to get here and I'm so gutted for you as I went through the same one and no how you feel. You will catch again sweet please keep us posted xx

DaniX91 · 26/07/2019 11:54

@Jemstar33 I'm so sorry to hear this, look after yourself.
@Jesskir89 we're in the same boat, how far along are you?
We go back on Tuesday at 7+2 to hopefully see baby and heartbeat as we went at 5+2 and only saw gestinational sac and a yolk sac.

I'm really stressing today and have been quite upset. My resting heart rate on Fitbit has been dropping since the weekend which I've heard can be a sign of missed miscarriage 😔 my boobs are still sore and I'm still weeing lots but thought I'd have had sickness by now. I don't know how I'm going to make it til Tuesday for the scan.

Jemstar33 · 26/07/2019 12:00

Thank you everyone.

I’ll keep in touch @Jesskir89 xxx

Jampot36 · 26/07/2019 12:34

So sorry @jemstar33 i cant imagine how you must be feeling but i hope you take some time to be kind to yourself and have lots of support around you. X

Jesskir89 · 26/07/2019 13:19

@Jemstar33 my number if you'd like it is 07748648928 xx @DaniX91 I think I'm 6 weeks tomorrow but they've said 5 weeks maybe add a few days but can't be sure until next scan. I'm weeing loads as long as you're not bleeding and severe pain I'm sure you'll be ok :) just ring the hospital if you're concerned x

AnxiousandExcited · 26/07/2019 17:22

Having really tough week - maybe the heat makes it worse but just cannot move i am so exhausted. My eyesight is also really bothering me - it's bad always ( i usually see double, floaters etc and my glasses are at -9.5) but I keep seeing things move when there is nothing there. This happened by my last pregnancies also and I know there isn't anything wrong but..
I am seriously tired just typing this. I'm sleeping about 14 hours out of every 24 - difficult with two little ones! And I'm still tired enough that if I practically could, i would have a 3 hour nap. I'm so tired it's an effort to talk.
Again, my other pregnancies were the same, and my blood tests never show anything wrong, not low iron/b12, not low sugar, not low bp, so it's a mystery....
I'm hardly nauseaus - not thrown up yet, even though I'm 7 weeks. But the exhaustion is disabling! Anyone else felt like this?

barnyb · 26/07/2019 17:42

@AnxiousandExcited hey! Bless you! Sounds like your having a real bad time of it at the moment ! I'm not as bad as what you sound but today I got home from the hospital at 10:45 and I stayed on the sofa in and out of sleep until 3pm. That's not like me at all! lucky for me I don't have any children at home that I have to look after (yet) so I can do this when I'm not working. just take it easy and rest as much as you can. Hopefully it will ease off soon for you xxxxx

hopefulowl · 26/07/2019 18:45

@AnxiousandExcited It really does sound like you're suffering. I'm not feeling anywhere near that bad but I am definitely constantly shattered. I've been trying to push through, but today fell asleep for 3 hours when I did sit down at about 3 o'clock. I feel like I could just go to bed now! I think the heat isn't helping, yesterday I could barely do anything which isn't like me, I usually love hot weather but at the moment I really just want fresh air.

I think maybe take it easy but try to keep as active as possible and take regular rests.

We move house this weekend and I'm worried about how tiring it's going to be, especially as our friends who are helping don't know yet. I've been struggling moving things already and had to sit down to catch my breath and recover a lot more than I would have normally.

Hi ladies, joining the discussion as I found out this week I'm expecting #2! I have a 9 month old DD, and I think I'm due 10th March (although having only had one cycle since DD was born in unsure how accurate that is until I have a dating scan).
