FEBRUARY 2021 DUE DATE

[Harper04]

Hey everyone!!! I know I’m super early as I’m 12dpo but I’ve finally had my “pregnant” on clear blue digital and I’m over the moon. I’ve been trying to tell myself not to get tooo excited as I had a chemical pregnancy in March but, too late haha. I’m so excited and happy! May as well be positive about it..

Anyone else just found out they’re pregnant and due in February 2021? The NHS due date calculator puts at the 3rd February. What’s your symptoms been so far ?

Xx

Just reading pervious posts (I'm new to mums net finding it hard to keep up) 😂 I'm also a teacher but in a nursery and I'm on the rota to go in next week for a morning when we are getting things "back to normal" I really don't want to tell my boss as I'm so early and I know it won't stay confidential.. it's a huge issue in my workplace management can't seem to follow the confidentiality rule! which is so annoying and makes me feel really anxious.

I've gone completely off meat - can't eat it at all. Struggling with vegetables too. Just seem to want bland, plain carbs like mash or rice. No vomiting yet, just don't quite feel myself and nauseous most of the time. I'm 6 weeks tomorrow. Anyone else having anything similar?

Sorry been busy with the little one! I'm booking an early scan in for when I'm 7 weeks, after a miscarriage and ivf I'll go insane waiting for the 12 weeks one!

Also, I've literally just done all this because I have a five month old so I'm happy to answer any questions anyone might have 😊

Tentatively popping myself in here. Had a very surprising positive on Friday with a clear blue digital. I have a fairly long cycle but I’m pretty sure I’m going to be due 1st Feb 2021 (seems to be the most common date on EDD from various websites haha)
I have a daughter who’s 3 at the end of next month and I feel like this is completely new already. Had such an awful pregnancy last time I’m sort of dreading this, which makes me feel awful as I feel like I should be super excited. I’ve said i love being a mum, and would have ten babies if I didn’t have to carry them.
Anyone else have a little bit of mixed feelings?

Congrats @woollisox yeh feeling really mixed, I'm going to have a 5 year age gap which I'm struggling to get my head around, and I'm not looking forward to pregnancy followed by 2.5 years of broken sleep! Otherwise yeh great can't wait LOLZ

This thread moves so fast!

Congratulations to all the new BFPs 🥳

And I’m so sorry to the ladies who have lost out this cycle, I’m sure your little rainbows are on their way 🌈

After much worry about waiting another four weeks for a scan I rang my EPU and they scanned me Saturday! I’m just four weeks so of course there is not much to be seen yet but they checked my ovary and said it looks clear so unlikely to be another ectopic but it’s not confirmed. I’m on bloods every 48 for now! Thank you @Scarlettm for putting a fire under me and not taking NO for an answer, after all I’ve been through I don’t want to be ignored!

Feeling ok, sore boobs, a bit crampy, a bit sicky and tired!

It’s lovely hearing how everyone else is getting on 💛

@grahamaox ahh that’s such a shame about your friends partner not feeling involved. Maybe he could do the night feeds for her instead 😂

I haven’t called the doctors yet, I am going to this week though. I did a test last weekend as I couldn’t wait, so I wanted to leave it a little bit longer as it’s still so early. Is this your first?

I’m going to email the head later on in the week as the new rota says I’m in from now until the summer. (Waiting for my OHs mom to draft me a good email as she’s a head too)

@woollisox I’m the same, excited one minute and then I’m filled with worry and anxiety the next. I’m sure it will calm down after the 12 week scan. I didn’t like being pregnant last time either.

Off to watch some more one born every minute with a decaf tea and a slab of cake 🍰

@Lovesamash thought I'd just say hi, your post stood out as being so similar, I've got a date of 14th Feb and also had a chemical last month.

Sending positive vibes

Hi ladies,

New to this page but wondered if anyone could shed any light, this evening I’ve had what I can only call a lightening pain down below followed by a few more dull pains. I’ve had cramping on and off since I’ve found out I had a positive but now I’m starting to stress anyone else had similar? I’ve had no bleeding just these out of the blue pains, they almost feel sort of towards my backside if that makes any sense but it’s really starting to make me feel anxious.

4:30am club. Is this the new normal?!

Hi @Jag91

Sorry to hear about the pains, I've been experiencing the same thing but from what I've researched it is all quite normal for the early stages.
I wouldn't stress about it too much xx

Hi all,

I'm approx 4-5 weeks according to clear blue test, nhs dates me around 6th feb

2nd baby, first conceived naturally (still in shock)

I had mild symptoms of cramping and a slight sore throat with my first baby, sickness didn't start until around 6-8 weeks

This time, oh my gosh. Sickness started before I even tested, dizziness, weak, exhausted (but I have an 8mo old this time, didn't recognise the tiredness as much as put it down to running after him all day)

My boobs are SO sensitive, quite sore to touch and extremely heavy and if I even knock my nipple it makes me squirm.

Had intense cramping around the time AF is due, that eased and I've only had mild cramping now and then, since last night I've had heartburn and only what I can describe as "wind" pain, though nothing relieves it.

Very strange symptoms, DH thinks it's because this baby will be a girl. I just think each pregnancy is different but wasn't expecting to feel all of this so quick!!!

I think it’s normal to feel a few cramps @Jag91 but if you’re worried contact your EPU and they can talk you through it x

Hi everyone,

Congratulations to you all on your positives! I got my own BFP this morning, so hoping I can join on here!

So far I've had a few symptoms, but did feel like I was just symptom spotting 🙈 I've had really sore, full boobs, cramping in my lower right side, gas, waking up through the night and crazy dreams!!

My app is telling me that my due date is 19/02/2021 - I'm so excited (my husband is telling me not to get too excited before it's confirmed)! I'm just worried now about next steps, as I don't have a clue - we were lucky enough to conceive on our first month of trying!

Does anyone know what's next after getting your positive?

Thanks,

B xx

Congratulations @BeeR2009

Hi all! Found this thread whilst frantically googling pregnancy questions and joined Mumsnet to join you all here. I got my BFP on Saturday which was the day AF was due. First baby so trying to balance excitement against not getting too ahead of myself when it's still such early days.

Question for any mamas who already have little ones; we have tentatively booked our wedding for 21st August next year. Baby will be due in mid-Feb, and would be about 6 months old by the time of the wedding. What would you do; go ahead or postpone?

Hi ladies hope your all well. We’ve made a what’s app group and Facebook group from the other 2021 thread. Give me a pm and I can send you the link if you’d like to join x

@BeeR2009 after your bfp it’s a waiting game! You’ll need to ring your dr to find out your next steps, I think all local areas vary in how they manage maternity departments. I have had to do a maternity self referral form on the Internet and then in a few weeks the midwife should call to arrange a booking in appointment which usually happens around 8-10 weeks. That’s what happened with my first, but I’m not sure how appointments work at the moment, I saw a friend who said all of her appointments had been telephone calls.

And then at 12 weeks you get your scan. This is the first confirmation I got. Home tests are so good that the dr/midwife don’t usually retest :)

@sunshinedandelions our wedding is booked for the same day!!! 🙌🏼😂
We had to postpone ours from June this year and then we decided to TTC as we were going to start trying after the wedding.

I am due first week of Feb and I am hoping 6 months is long enough for me to lose enough baby weight that I feel comfortable! 🙈

Hi to all the newbies , congrats on all your BFPs, especially those who have got them first cycle TTC (not envious at all!)

So sorry to those who have lost this cycle. Sending very un-mumsnetty hugs

Sorry I've not really been keeping up with the thread, it moves fast, and I've been feeling pretty rotten over the weekend! Will try better haha.

I'm another one who has been super thirsty, having insomina (woke at 2:30am on sat and didn't go back to sleep), heartburn, sore boobs and a bit of lightheadedness - really didn't expect to be getting symptoms this early.

In some ways it is comforting, as it means there is still a little embryo kicking out hormones, but given this has taken me 2.5+ years and failed IVF rounds I am pretty anxious - when symptoms vary in intensity it makes me worry, and every time I go to the loo I am "knicker checking" in case there is any blood, and my mind goes into overdrive with every little twinge or cramp. I am trying to remain positive and have a little daily mantra of "today I am pregnant" and keep looking at my BFP to remind myself it is real!

In my area you self refer to midwives online. I've got a viability scan booked for 23rd June (I'll be 6+5) as higher chance of ectopic with IVF. If all is ok then I will fill out the form and get the process moving. According to NHS online my EDD is 11th Feb.

I've also been thinking about a private scan - for reassurance before 12 weeks - but also would hopefully mean that DH can attend as he wont be at my viability scan, and not convinced that protocols will have changed by the time we get to our 12 week scans.

I'm currently in the office 3 days a week, as in a non public facing key worker role, which can't be done from home. I have to get the train to work, but so far it's been not too busy and I'm glad that face coverings have been made mandatory from next week as I can only seem them getting busier. I spoke to occ health when I got my BFP on Thurs, and as long as no reason my IVF treatment would make me more susceptible to infections then I am not classed as vulnerable (until 28 weeks) so fine to keep going in. I'm quite grateful actually as my role is pretty busy so I find it keeps my mind off of worrying! Just have to complete the normal risk assessment - but prob wont do that or tell my boss until the viability scan at the very earliest. Hope that all of you who are in public facing roles manage to have conversations with your employers and get positive outcomes in terms of your working arrangements.

Have a good day everyone!

Glad to know I’m not the only one feeling very anxious about being pregnant again. Feel a little more normal now.
I’ve just called the GP, waiting for them to call back. Going to be strange having a baby during a national crisis. Symptom wise it hasn’t been too bad so far! My boobs have been so heavy and painful for about 2 weeks but I put that down to AF, and I’ve had a bit of heartburn but nothing horrific. Very brief periods of nausea but at the point with my daughter sickness had started that developed in HG so fingers crossed this one will be different!
Has everyone rang the GP yet? X

I had a chemical last month, but now pregnant again, calculator says I'm due around the 10th of feb! This is my 5th baby! Congratulations everyone x

Hi all and congratulations to all the people with new BFPs!
I had a weird spell yesterday where I felt totally exhausted and light headed but I’m ok today 🤞
I’ve told work that I won’t be coming back on the 15th but not told them that I’m pregnant, I used the fact that I’m obese and have (very mild) asthma which is normally only caused by hayfever but as I can continue working from home I don’t feel too guilty. They haven’t offered any kind of individual risk assessment so haven’t actually lied to them. Just really don’t want them to be the first to know when we haven’t even told our parents/siblings/best friends yet.
I am thinking of telling my sister who I am incredibly close to as I think I’ll need her support when I tell my Mum. I’m hoping that she’ll be pleased but know she’ll also be so so worried about me due to my depression and the fact that I have a chronic pain condition. I’ll also be 41 by the time this baby is born (if all goes well, please please). Is anyone else an older Mum? My GP has been amazing and so supportive and said that loads of women in their 40s are having kids now so I’m trying to not get too worked up about it. I’m so scared that people will think I’m looking after my grandchild or something!
So you guys are the only ones who know about this pregnancy and thank you so much for being in my phone and ‘listening’.

Hello all,

Firstly congrats on all the BFPs that have joined, and my condolences to those who have had losses.

After my rather dramatic last post, I had a touch of spotting over the weekend and expected the worst but it passed really quickly and I got a 3+ weeks on ClearBlue this morning. I’ve got blood tests this week as well, and hoping that all goes well!

The first trimester nerves are the worst, I don’t think I felt confident in my last pregnancy until about 30 weeks though, then the nerves of giving birth kicked in

I would definitely tell your sister @OldMaBear if you need the support. My sister already knows about mine. She got a picture of my test! Sometimes I think the secret is harder on your mental health.

Maybe we could start a list of people so we know who is here and their details, I’ve seen them on previous threads so like this:

@JemimaFuddleFuck, EDD: 11/02/21, 2nd baby

Just an idea!
