@MrsBlue1986 I've had ovary cramps like the cramps when I ovulate but I think it's just caused by uterus stretching and putting pressure on things xxx

marplemead · 01/07/2020 20:58

@MrsBlue1986 I'm sorry for your loss Flowers Mine was 4.5 years ago, before I had DD. It was right in the middle of a lesson - thankfully I was wearing black that day! I remember very clearly how devestated I was. And now I feel like after a healthy pg and baby, I don't deserve to be that lucky again, which I know is silly. I don't have any advice, because I feel the same, but keeping busy helps a little.

Hopesandrainbows · 01/07/2020 21:00

Is this your first pregnancy!? 2nd pregnancy but for first child as last ended in miscarriage at 5.5 weeks.

  • How old are you/where from? 27 from Surrey
  • What DPO are you!? 17dpo
  • Any weird symptoms- bloating, constipation, hunger early hours of morning, ovary twinges and discomfort, spotting (gone today so hoping will stop) when go to number 2/ try to go... very tender breasts on sides particularly when sit up after laying down, beginning to get sore nipples. Every now and then I get an ache in upper left arm 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
LisaMarie89 · 01/07/2020 21:01

Did a test this morning (and 2 more throughout the day as didn't believe it)! Never thought I would be so nervous, googling symptoms of everything that could possibly go wrong! Wish I could enjoy it more; hopefully will come with time!

Have had sore boobs and pulling stomach pains and looking at calculator date would be 11th March.

marplemead · 01/07/2020 21:02

Good idea @MrsBlue1986

  • Is this your first pregnancy!? 3rd pregnancy - 1st was a MC and 2nd is 3.5yo
  • How old are you/where from? I'm 35 and live near Bristol
  • What DPO are you!? I'm 5 weeks or 16/17DPO
  • Any weird symptoms!?? Not yet! All day sickness started at 6wks last time - not looking forward to that!
Aceofspade · 01/07/2020 21:03

Wow so much to catch up on in just a few days! Congratulations to everyone! I’m sorry a few of you are having such a worrying time though.

I can’t believe how many of us are from Scotland- I was the only one in my sons group last time around. And so many teachers🤣

I don’t really have any symptoms either just now. I’m 5+4 so I suspect that will change soon. I’m dreading it. I was so exhausted last time and signed off work for 8 weeks. I can’t imagine feeling that was again with a toddler to deal with.

@gb207 I’m so sorry you feel like this. I can totally relate. I was told I wouldn’t be able to have children without medical input before I had my son. I fell pregnant naturally without trying so spent my time constantly thinking something would go wrong because it was against all odds. It didn’t help I bled the whole way through my pregnancy either. Mostly spotting but there was a couple of occasions when it was like a heavy period! There was never anything wrong with either me or my son and I was told it just sometimes happens. That was something I was never aware of- you always hear blood= disaster! But it doesn’t😊

MrsBlue1986 · 01/07/2020 21:08

@LisaMarie89 Hey! Same due date as me!! 🥰

@Hopesandrainbows Hey! It sounds like a few of us have had miscarriages previously. Its so danuting isnt it... and yeah my boobs are so tender..worse after getting up lying on them.
Worst bit for me is cramps and tiredness probably!!

@marplemead Ah that sounds awful in a lesson!! Mine happened one morning during lockdown in April..so at least i could hide from everyone! 🙄 xxx

marplemead · 01/07/2020 21:11

@Aceofspade I was signed off work for 8 weeks last time too, and also worried about how I'll manage this time with a toddler. How old is your DS?

I'm hoping not, but do people tend to have the same symptoms with every pregnancy?

Aceofspade · 01/07/2020 21:17

@marplemead it’s a whole different ball game thinking about doing it all with a toddler isn’t it! I’m dreading it. I felt so awful last time. I remember napping on the stairs because I was too tired to climb them😂 My DS has just turned two. How old is yours?

I’m not sure about the symptoms.. I thought maybe based on sex? Lots of my friends with girls had bad sickness but those with boys, less so?! What does everyone else think?

marplemead · 01/07/2020 21:22

@Aceofspade Napping on the stairs 😂 I think I spent those weeks with my head over the toilet bowl, so that sounds great! My DD is 3.5yo. We told her when I got my bfp, and she was really upset and said she wanted the baby to go away. A few days on, she's quite excited and keeps kissing my tummy.

Sakura54 · 01/07/2020 21:23

@MrsBlue1986

3rd pregnancy - 1 DS and 1 MMC in April at 13 weeks

33, London

I don’t really track ovulation but around 23 DPO

I usually get ALL the symptoms starting around 6 weeks, but right now, bad cramps, aches and lightheadedness.

Carmelova85 · 01/07/2020 21:25

@MrsBlue1986 I'm also 35 and now got pregnant after 2 months of trying. It's my first pregnancy but I have a deep belief that everything is okay. You will be fine too
