Did anyone get their BFP recently? I got mine last night so I think I'm 4 weeks 1 day today and still very much in shock, according to apps my due date would be October 30th.

@DressingGown87 more fool him then. Here's to an exciting and successful pregnancy journey .

@tulip2020 IKR quite a year!!

My boobs are massive already. I'm already small (6/8) with 30DD-Es depending on time of the month and they're already straining on Es. Seriously I'm going to fall over by June.

Flora20 · 26/02/2020 21:09

@Frankincense88 That's what mine were like before the weekend, combined with a dull but strong ache the rest of the time. Was horrible but I was reassured that so many others seemed to get it too! I took paracetamol and used a hot water bottle and that took the worst of it away.

roarfeckingroar · 26/02/2020 21:10

I made a big plate of wholewheat pasta with Parmesan and cracked black pepper sauce mixing in some of the cooking water and it's the first thing that hasn't made me sick for ages!

No cramps yet, just immense levels of nerves!!

Eatsleepbakerepeat · 26/02/2020 22:21

Hey I wondered if I could join got my bfp last week due on the 31st october, 1st baby excited but also terrified!!!

sunbreak · 27/02/2020 08:43

@Eatsleepbakerepeat I'm in the same boat, due on 31st (at least according to the NHS calculator )
@Flora20 and @Frankincense88 I'm glad I'm not the only one with the cramps! Mine are not super intense but scare the sh!t out of me when they happen.

roarfeckingroar · 27/02/2020 13:41

@Eatsleepbakerepeat welcome and congrats!!! We are in the same boat - first and terrified ! Smile

Frankincense88 · 27/02/2020 15:01

@sunbreak I get mine either early morning or evening. Glad it's not uncommon though! I found out last Wednesday and been testing daily since just to make sure it's all still happening 😬 I feel like I should feel worse than I actually do!

1990shopefulftm · 27/02/2020 18:23

Not sure I ll manage to wait the 2 weeks to chase up my self referral to the midwives, was hoping I would have heard by now but I know they do the booking appointments more like 10 weeks here so there's no rush.

Evening everyone

I'm actually starting to come round and feel excited not like life as i know it is over forever.

How are you all feeling?

Danielle95lab · 27/02/2020 19:27

Anyone had any brown discharge? I've had the tiniest bit today at 5 weeks 2 days along. No cramping or anything. Spoke to the doctor but she was so unhelpful, just told me to wait it out and see if it gets worse 🤦🏻‍♀️

Flora20 · 27/02/2020 20:18

@Danielle95lab Not experienced this, but I've read so many times that it's really common and if it's brown it's old blood and nothing to worry about, especially if there's only a tiny bit. I'd ring the midwife hub and get any advice from them rather than gp if you have any more. I'm sure it will all be fine, just baby settling in!

@roarfeckingroar That's good to hear. It all gets much more real, in a good way, when you get a bump and start to feel movements. Until then with my first it was all so hypothetical and I kept worrying it wasn't the right time at all! X

roarfeckingroar · 27/02/2020 22:18

@Danielle95lab yes I did a couple of days ago. It was nothing.

So everyone who has been kind enough to know I've been teetering and not sure... how about this for certainty!

@Danielle95lab sorry that sounded dismissive - I meant it was nothing wrong at all rather than it was nothing to worry about Smile

ablisha · 27/02/2020 23:05

Sorry if this is TMI... but has anyone done the deed since finding out?

  1. I feel bloated to the max and 2. I'm a bit nervous!
Sarah200393 · 28/02/2020 06:11

Hey, I’m so new to this, it’ll be my first and I think I’m due around the 25th October.
I’ve had a few sporadic stomach cramps, sore boobs and feel tired quite a lot.
Hoping everything is okay!

Sarah200393 · 28/02/2020 06:16

I get this too! Sit huddled up for about 15/20 minutes and then it passes but they’re pretty intense!

KitKatKit · 28/02/2020 09:33

@ablisha It's been 6 days since we got a BFP and we haven't because I've had terrible nausea since and now I have a cold! My body is not playing ball this week! Hope everyone is hanging in there Flowers

roarfeckingroar · 28/02/2020 09:50

I've just booked a private scan for two weeks today! I've not the first clue when my last period was so it'll be helpful to work our how far along I am.

Still terrified but heading away for the weekend with DP - who is over the moon and keeping me on the straight and narrow - but it's starting to sink in.

Flora20 · 28/02/2020 10:15

@ablisha Yep, we've dtd... Only once because I've not felt like it much but it's fine 🙂 You might get a little crampy afterwards but that's normal and ok x

ablisha · 28/02/2020 10:22

Thank you @Flora20 @KitKatKit

roarfeckingroar · 28/02/2020 10:50

@ablisha DP has been away for work since finding out but I certainly intend to this evening Grin

1990shopefulftm · 28/02/2020 16:30

Got my booking appointment for the 2nd of April which means I need to tell work, I ll be a day short of 10 weeks then which makes me wonder if my first scan will be late.

Danielle95lab · 28/02/2020 17:31

@roarfeckingroar thanks for the reassurance chick. It's only happened the once and nothing since. But I can't help but feel like something bad has happened 😩

Greenlasagne · 28/02/2020 18:17

Hey! Can I join? BFP 2 days ago. This is my second. I have a just-turned-two year old DD.
Due 31 Oct according to my app.
Feeling quite tired, some dizzy spells today, and light cramping. Last pregnancy was a breeze so I’m hoping for the same this time round! Grin

BS9790 · 29/02/2020 09:36

Hi, joining here with caution, too early for me to commit!!

I had a miscarriage in December, and found out I was PG again on 18th Feb... 5 days before my missed AF.
App is dating me at 5 weeks and 3 days, but because I have slightly longer cycles and I know when I ovulated, I think I am actually 5 weeks exactly today.

I've been suffering with bad cramps and some back ache, was seen at EPU on weds where my Hcg was 1600, then got my 3+ on clear blue on Friday so I know my hcg has gone up.

Hospital want me in for an early scan tomorrow, if my dates are correct I'll be 5 weeks and 1 day, so not expecting to see anything at all but hospital want to rule out ectopic due to the bad period like cramps I've been having.

Barely slept since I got the first positive test, I'm so scared of repeat MC. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will start to relax
