Hi!

Found out yesterday that I am pregnant. Total shock as hadn't really tried this month as me and the OH for married and moved house so had other things on our mind. Totally over the moon though 😁 this will be our first baby so very nervous about everything to do with pregnancy and beyond!

Hi 👋

I got my bfp on Saturday at 12dpo...been testing everyday since just to make sure I'm not seeing things!

This will hopefully be my first baby after a miscarriage this time last year. 🤞

Still early days but it's hard not to get excited! Due date currently looks like it's around 8th April 2020 👶🏻

Hey can I join? Got my BFP yesterday, I had a chemical last month. It had really faint BFP. My BFP this month was so dark I'm hoping it's a sticky baby. This is my first baby and would love to have a group of ladies to chat to through this pregnancy!

Congratulations to everyone on their BFP by the way! Exciting times!!

Hi, I'd like to join too. Got my BFP on Friday and have since taken 7 tests as I couldn't (still can't) believe it! This is my first pregnancy so I've no idea what to expect.

I don't 'feel' pregnant at all. Sure, my boobs ache and I've cramps, and serious bloating but like zero feelings about it. I was expecting a wave of maternal emotions as I've wanted this for a long time.. but nothing! Anyone else experiencing this?

When are you all planning on going to the GP? Think I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and make an appointment. I've got a family holiday in two weeks which I'm absolutely dreading now as they'll all know something's up when I'm not drinking 😂

Hi all - massive congrats on your BFP's.

I am 4+2 with baby number 3. We already have 2 girls who are 9 and 11.

I am so super excited to get past my period due date and tests and symptoms are still strong. Fingers crossed this little bean holds on.

Take it everyone has been testing daily too?! 😂

Hi I got my bfp too, due on the 7th of April this is my third but have a 9 year gap feeling really nervous waiting see if everything is ok. I have a midwife appointment on the 14th I cant wait :)

Jasmine7823 · 06/08/2019 08:29

Hi @dearn I have 2 boys 9 and 11 too

helent38 · 06/08/2019 09:25

@DorritoPaws I feel this way too! Maybe the maternal instincts kick in when you first see the scans!

I spoke to my doctor yesterday because I was hoping for an early scan due to my miscarriage last year. I lived in a different area then and they told me that they would be happy to organise an early scan for future pregnancies but now that I've moved, doctor said they had no appointments in the next few weeks and that I should try the midwife. Midwife won't see me until 8 weeks which is another 3 weeks away...I thought the 2ww was bad but this will be worse!!

Anyone having cramps in their legs? I had a few cramps in my tummy over the last week but it now seems to be exclusively at the top of the left thigh. Not unbearable but really uncomfortable!

Hi everyone so glad we are all starting this journey together 😁😍 I have one little girl who will be 2 next month 😭 can't believe how quick it has went!! I am 29 years old next month also.

I was consultant lead last time for anxiety issues which I have had for 10+ years now. I am on no meds but awaiting referal to a councillor for cbt. I found my last pregnancy hard as I am a worrier 🤦😕

Just really hope everything goes good :( tested this morning and another good line so I will probably be a serial tester 🤣🙊

Oh @Jasmine7823 we are in exactly the same position! Have you noticed changes in procedures and advice since you were last pregnant? Also what age are you? I am 37.

Here's a pic of my line progression which I am so happy with

Is anyone taking any supplements? I had bought the pre conception ones but I only took like 3 then missed a week then found out im now pregnant! Last time they made me feel so ill everytime i took one I sacked them off as soon as I could 🤢 Kinda feel like I should be taking something?

helent38 · 06/08/2019 19:49

@mrsrob90 I was the same with the pre-conception supplements - felt awful on them and started spotting between periods only while I was on them so I stopped after a couple of months.
I'm back on some pregnacare ones now specifically for pregnancy just because I feel like I should!

shik20 · 06/08/2019 19:49

Hi all! I found out Thursday that we're expecting our first baby! It wasn't expected but we're both thrilled and so excited! 😀 estimated due date is 7th April. I have my 7 week scan 24th August and my first midwife appt on the 30th! It all just seems so surreal so far! My symptoms so far are cramps, sore boobs, I'm tired all the time and so hungry constantly! Glad to go through this exciting time with you all 😀

Hi Everyone!

I am currently 5 weeks 3 days pregnant with my first.
Struggling with anxiety re miscarriages etc. Seems too good to be true, I am medical - so enough knowledge to know a whole host of things that can go wrong 😭

Got private early scan booked at 8 weeks then at 12 weeks.
Feels unbearable to get through this first few months !

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 06/08/2019 23:09

@CEM29 I’m right there with you. After 2.5 years of trying and ivf I’m terrified this is going to go wrong 😫

Carysmatic · 07/08/2019 06:16

Argh, whats wrong with me I cant sleep at all, had such a bad nights sleep, this is so not normal for me, I thought you were supposed to sleep more in early pregnancy not stop sleeping!

brummiemumm · 07/08/2019 06:45

Hi everyone. I'd like to join too. According to a DD calculator I'm due April 8th. Still doesn't feel real and my main emotion at the moment is worry! But then I am a very anxious person. Congrats to you all!

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 07/08/2019 11:39

@Carysmatic I also can’t sleep and it’s driving me mad! I’m normally a great sleeper. Currently I just toss and turn! 😫
