Today I found out I’m pregnant! Early Oct babies please join!

[Togetherismyfavouriteplace]

So today I found out I’m pregnant with #1 ! & I honestly haven’t stopped crying with happiness all morning. Although I know it’s early days, I just wanted to see if there were any other early Oct babies due so that we can share the journey! I’m over the moon ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Quiffy no suggestions I’m afraid but I have a few friends who are quite recent new mums so when I can tell them, I definitely plan to ask where they learnt from! Will share any decent resources!

@TunnocksTcake Your nausea sounds awful, don’t know how I’d hide that at work 🤢 Hope it eases up soon!

@MrsB1821 That’s the cutest bump! 🥰

Fingers crossed for you @Glitterchik - positive vibes going your way and hoping the next week or so flies by. We have our first midwife appt on the 19th so will be counting down with you ☺️

@Quiffy I know what you mean, I keep thinking I can’t feel sorry for myself this early on haha... there seems to be a bug going round here at the minute so if I feel unwell they think I’ve got that (hoping I don’t get it!)

My symptoms have well and truly kicked in (5+6 weeks today). I have been so fatigued and nauseous for the past few days. Last night after work all I could do was lay on the couch feeling sorry for myself while my partner did all the chores. It is both reassuring, but also 'how the hell am I going to do my job properly if I feel like this for weeks/months!'. I am considering telling my boss earlier than planned just so I don't have to keep hiding it/pushing myself to seem normal levels of productive.
@LexiM I also keep thinking I shouldn't feel sorry for myself this early - it's probably only going to get worse haha

@NeuroMama I can totally relate to lying on the sofa! I haven’t decided when I’m telling work, just waiting to see how I feel each week!

In my area you book to see the midwife as soon as you find out, she gives you a booking form and some information about screening etc. And then you see her again at about 7 or 8 weeks. I've just had my first appointment and she said the most crucial time to take folic acid is between 4-6 weeks (just letting others know as we're all around the same dates)... She also said that from now and the next few weeks tiredness is going to hit a new extreme and that I just have to give into it, its ny body telling me I need to rest for the next process of baby growing xxx

Thanks for that info, @Daisy2206, really helpful
to hear as we don’t get anything for a couple of weeks yet. Can’t wait for the crippling tiredness 🙈

Saw my mum earlier and am convinced she guessed but am probably just hyper aware, felt so bad not telling her but only one more day to wait!

Had some pains on the left side today, phoned epu they told me to go in for a scan had the scan and they couldn't see a pregnancy sack but the Dr said it could just be that it's too early to see anything got to go back on Saturday for another blood test to see what my hcg levels are doing.

@SkyBlue20 No worries 😊 she said most people don't get to see their midwives until 8 or 9 weeks and by then the most crucial window has gone! Which is a shame.

Awh I'm sure she didn't guess, I'm forever paranoid about others guessing 😂🙈 my partner thinks I'm mad!

Hope all is ok @Glitterchik, sending hugs!

@Daisy2206 I’ll just be relieved when I can tell her - I don’t really like lying to everyone else but I’m pretty convincing at it, whereas my mum can see straight through me. Typically, she tried to get me to eat some of her smoked salmon (which normally I’d jump at but wasn’t sure if I could and couldn’t Google it), asked me what was going on with my skin and if it is hormones/If I’m on my period (I broke out when I came off the pill) and I avoided a cuppa which I would usually have but had already had one today and am trying to limit my caffeine intake. So in my head, she knows 🤣🙈

since had a phone call telling me my hcg level is 594, feeling a bit better now I know my levels are good x

@Glitterchik hope you’re okay, saw your post about your previous post so you must be out your mind. Fingers crossed it’s just too early as they said ❤️

@Daisy2206 good to know on the tiredness! I keep feeling like I shouldn’t be going for naps.

@skyboue20 ahhh it will be so exciting when you do

Got a surprise from Amazon today, I must have been moaning about my boobs and not being able to sleep too much to DH. He got me one of those big pregnancy pillows. I’m sure it’s for big bumps, but not gonna lie I’m excited about going to bed 😹

@glitterchik glad to know that! Hope you're feeling okay!

@quiffy she said you have to give into it... So I guess it's the perfect excuse to nap 🤷‍♀️ awh that is so sweet haha! Enjoy your new cuddle buddy! Haha x

@Quiffy I had one of those pillows last time and it was AMAZING. I am looking forward to getting it out this time round.

I've got my booking in appt tomorrow (pretty early as I'll only be 6w 3d), hoping that makes it seem more real

Has anyone's taste buds changed?, I have a strange taste in my mouth most of the time.
I'm
Also very tired sometimes Nauseas, not looking forward to H/G if it kicks in around 6 weeks 😩

@lilyj13 I've had a really sour taste in my mouth for the last few weeks. I feel nauseous if I'm hungry, but then once I get food I feel full up and bloated really quickly. Very annoying

@lilyj13 is it a metallic taste? I've read that it's pretty normal to taste like you've been sucking on 2ps haha

@Glitterchik glad the hcg levels were good, thinking of you.

@SkyBlue20 I’m also avoiding my mum because of the food thing - if she guessed and wanted to see if She was right I was thinking she could just offer me some soft cheese or something!

I’m jealous of the pillow @Quiffy what a nice husband. I can imagine mine will complain it takes up too much of the bed when I get one!

Hiya! Only just thought to look on the pregnancy forum!!🤣 Got my bfp two days ago at 10dpo and even darker line yesterday at 11dpo! Clear blue digital confirmed 1-2weeks today! Wahooo October babies!

Meant to ask can I join??☺️ I really do have baby brain already. Although I'm not sure it ever left from have my 3 year old!!!😂🙈

@Glitterchik Glad your HCG level is good, nice to have that extra reassurance ☺️

@Quiffy what a sweet husband!! Enjoy your pillow snuggles!

@Spark27 Exciting about the appointment! Is this baby #1? Do you know what to expect at it? When I called to book mine they asked me to think about where I want to give birth before the appt - I don’t even know what the options are 😂🙈 Sure Google will be able to tell me...

@lilyj13 I had an off taste in my mouth for a few days earlier this week, almost like I had a bit of a hangover. Has subsided now but I believe it’s pretty normal (albeit very annoying!)

Welcome, @Ellabella234! Do you know your due date? Love that you did a second test too, I’m thinking of maybe doing one tomorrow morning just to check the line is darker (I got my BFP on Wednesday at 15DPO). Is it baby #2? How’re you feeling?

Work event managed without drinking and I don’t think I aroused any suspicion...😬

@SkyBlue20 Yes and you can be sure I'll be doing another frer tomorrow too to see if my line of even darker than wednesdays one!🤣 yes this will be number 2! ❤️ DD has just turned 3 and is a beautiful sweet handful. Any advice on what to put in for due date calculator if my cycles vary in length? If I know I ovulated CD19 shall I put in 32day long because that's how long it was probably going to be this month, or do I put in the average my Clue app gives me (39! - cycles vary in length each month and are usually between 40-50days long)... was that a confusing question? 🤔😂
