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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@bluemoon2468 That’s great news! 🥰 so happy for you! Hope you feel better soon x

@Quiffy ohnooo! Hope you feel better soon hun. Try some mints to help with the sickness x

Congratulations to all the new BFP’s!!

I’m 6 weeks. Feel really nervous about booking appointment. How have everyone’s gone

Can I join please? Got my BFP on Saturday and I think I'm 5 weeks today. I have no symptoms whatsoever so I'm a bit freaked out by that!

Brilliant news bluemoon, you must be so relieved 💖

@bluemoon2468 so glad that the scan went well and you Baby is okay! 😊 did they say how many weeks you are?

I've just finished two long days in a row (I work 13hour shifts) since finding out BFB and having annual leave. Absolutely shattered!

Got my early pregnancy scan on Friday I'm so nervous/anxious that somethings wrong or nothing's there! X x x

Hello gals!

Got a bfp on an Internet cheapie this weekend. I'm 40 so worried so much about my age and the higher risk of mc.

DH is obviously feeling the same as if I try to talk about it he just says 'let's just see what happens first'

Going to be a long 8 weeks stressing until 12 weeks scan

@Chh0412 yep baby measured 4.3mm which put me around 5+6/6+0, which is bang on. She did say it's not an exact science though. At first she measured wrong at 3.5mm and only remeasured because she said that seemed too small for my dates.

@bluemoon2468 over the moon for you ❤️. I have mw today and just counting days till scan on 12th x

That's lovely news @bluemoon2468!

I'm having a wobble about my scan because baby was measuring so small. Ugh. 3 weeks until we go for another scan.

Omg I am struggling so bad with nausea & tiredness. I’m waking up feeling physically ill and struggle to move. My midwife app came through yesterday but isn’t until 11th March when I will be 9+6! So only 1 day before 10 weeks. Is anyone else’s that late ?

@togetherismyfavouriteplace sorry to hear you are feeling so lousy, hope it passes soon. Touch wood my symptoms haven’t been too bad although I have a feeling they will get worse next week!

I got my appointment originally 11th march but she text yesterday to say she got it wrong and it’s 13th March. I will be exactly 10 weeks then. I know it seems like forever to wait but hopefully the scan will follow not too soon after. I was glad my day changed actually as I’m already off work that day so don’t need to make excuses as I’ve heard the first appointment can be quite long.

@Treaclepie19 I know it's really tough but try not to worry too much. Even my sonographer yesterday said that measurements this early are really unreliable. She was like I can date it if you want but tbh it's not going to be very accurate at all at this point, the most important thing is that I can see a baby in there 😊

@Togetherismyfavouriteplace I’m sorry you’re feeling so shitty. I know how you feel. I had 10 hours sleep last night so should not be tired but I am!! And I’ve got to work til 9 tonight and I’m usually in bed by then haha

My midwife appointment is at 9 weeks, they don’t book in earlier than 8 weeks anyway so I’m hoping they’ll push the scan through shortly after.

Feel better soon x

Sorry to hear you’re feeling so rough @Togetherismyfavouriteplace, hope it eases off soon!

I’m feeling SO impatient today - got my mw appt on Wed and private early scan two days after that and I’m just wishing the week away. Half wishing I’d booked the scan for tomorrow instead but knew there was less chance of missing the heartbeat if I went later so was being sensible... I can’t believe it’s only been a week since we found out, it’s dragging!

Anyone else struggling with insomnia and end up googling silly stuff then looking at stuff to buy 🙈 Seems so much harder this time round to keep calm about it.

Hoping to book an early Groupon voucher scan for wc2 March which I'll hopefully be around 8 weeks, all being well. Terrifying but exciting

@Skyblue20 Ended up doing nothing on DH's orders and had a rest instead. @Cookiemonster19 I didnt think of mints - going to get some of those today thanks! The ginger is doing hee-haw.

@Togetherismyfavouriteplace I feel you on that one. Wake up feeling horrific and go to bed the same. I mean I'm thankful as something must be going on, but I also feel like I;m dying. Hope it passes for you soon

@bluemoon2468 that's very true, thank you. I'll try and stop my worrying 🙈

My symptoms last week were awful that’s how I knew I was pregnant, hence the 2 tests on Saturday... but I haven’t really had any symptoms since, other than slight nausea here and there and extreme tiredness! Sleeping a good 9 hours every night and still knackered! I switch between worrying that I haven’t got symptoms to just reassuring myself and staying calm that it does come and go... and that it probably will get worse so make the most of it now! I have a doctors appt next Thursday, so I should be 3w3d then (by my calculations...) literally this whole pregnancy thing is all I have thought about the past week haha x

@tle2109 congrats!!

I have really bad nausea it’s intense all day . Feel like I will get relief if I sick up. I am not sure if it’s pregnancy or because of pregnacare max.... but the nausea is intense it’s like a bad case of acid reflux .

I had pineapple juice to help the nausea but I then realised that I heard a long time ago it’s one of those things can induce labour / miscarriage - now I feel miserable and guilty. If anyone knows what can give relief please share would be appreciated.

@purplecandyfloss you should download the Tommy app when I can’t sleep I spend hours looking at the offers and they send emails about stuff to buy.

@Zaalfruit Ginger biscuits or ginger tea is meant to help (although I've not found so yet but I hate ginger) and the travel bands help a little. I've spent all morning feeling sick, though and lost my breakfast. Just had some lunch so hoping it sticks!

Afternoon Ladies!

So I’m confused! Lol.
The first day of my last period was 22nd Dec so should be 7 weeks +4 but I did another test today (completely paranoid!) and it’s says this. So this says I’m between 4-5weeks. Any ideas?! X x x

I had some light pink spotting about an hour ago and just went for a wee again and had some more but a bit lighter.
Phoned GP for advice just waiting for midwife to ring me back.

So worried now 😔

How's everyone doing today? I had some cramping and twinging yesterday evening and then today nothing!!! Apart from my boobs being a little sore to touch, I thought things were meant to ramp up in week 6! Anyone else?

@Chh0412
Did you use first morning urine? Perhaps you ovulated later than you thought?

@MrsC105 I think spotting is supposed to be really normal, I hope you get some reassurance soon from the drs.

@Lucylou37 I heard the week 6 thing too but I’ve felt shit from week 4 and it’s not getting worse so maybe the 6 weeks thing is a myth. 😂

Thing is I’m starting to realise you really cannot compare pregnancies. I’m just taking what I’m experiencing as my normal, as I’ve got no evidence that anything is wrong. Trying to be chilled!

My booking in appointment is in Monday I'll be about 6.5 weeks but I have to have a dating scan and see a consultant at 8 weeks so I always get seen early- you are supposed to be booked in by 10 weeks

@KKMK -the booking in appointment usually takes about an hour they ask you a bunch of questions, they will want a urine sample and do a blood test too then you get your hand held notes - they'll book you a 16 week appointment to see them and give you contact numbers no need to worry about this!
Hi again @Treaclepie19 -how far along are you? Xx
