@JLM1008 I kinda feel like that but I also keep getting really really hot. I usually get hot flashes before a period but it never came obvs. And I know it’s been ridiculously hot but I seem to be suffering more than anyone else in my household atm!

DSP21 · 13/08/2020 14:29

@clueless987 the exact same thing happened to me this time round. I went for an early scan at what I thought was 6+2 and only saw a sac and yolk sac, was told to re-scan in 2 weeks and those 2 weeks were hell. I did bleed which added to the anxiety, and then was told they couldn't find a baby, before finally locating a tiny flickering bean. 1 week later, measuring 6+3. Save yourself the stress and wait till 7 or 8 weeks!!

RosieJess91 · 13/08/2020 18:44

@jlm1008 I'm struggling with masks as well, figured it was because of my dodgy heart, but maybe it's more a pregnancy thing, keep getting dizzy as well, so could be related!
Sorry @2020mission, hope you get more sticky baby dust very soon 💗

@JLM1008 I get the cramps. Just been for a walk and they've set in. It's annoying because I have IBS and struggle to tell the difference between uterine cramping or stomach/intestine cramps 😩 I had achy breasts earlier but they've disappeared now. But I accidentally caught one on the side of a door this evening an that's bloody hurt! It's still early days and I've read symptoms can come and go so not concerned just yet.
I'm also struggling to work out what week I am. My periods have been irregular but last three have been around 35 days. First day of period was 7th July so I think that's 6+2 but an online calculator says I'm 5+1?!😂

Workingmama1 · 13/08/2020 20:47

@apricotta I think if your lqst period was 7th July that makes you 5+2. Interestingly when i spoke to the dr on Monday about my one sided pain she said it could be my large bowel....

So sorry @2020mission, take care Flowers

Apricotta · 13/08/2020 20:51

@Workingmama1 thanks. Just did another online calculator and it said 4+2! Sucks to have an irregular menstrual pattern.

Rlacpb · 13/08/2020 21:04

@Apricotta my last period was the 7th July and I my dates make me 5+2. Hope you’re ok. I’ve got my first midwifes appointment at 8 weeks.

JLM1008 · 13/08/2020 21:20

Pleased it’s not just me then! 😂
My period was also 7th of July so it puts me at 5 weeks 2 days too! I’m due April 13th.

Fleeflyyflooo · 13/08/2020 21:27

Hey everyone! Got my bfp last week and been lurking on this thread but haven't commented before. I'm due 14th I think. Its 3rd pregnancy but 2nd baby. Im not getting any of the symptoms I had with DD which is making me worry. So reading this thread had been reassuring.

Rlacpb · 13/08/2020 21:52

@JLM1008 that’s exciting that we are due the same date. Have you got your midwifes appointment yet? It’s my first and I’m a bit apprehensive. Are you taking folic acid yet?

Serethiel · 13/08/2020 22:11

JLM yes, I had this yesterday. I had to take my mask off and then eventually I cut my shopping trip short.

JLM1008 · 13/08/2020 22:27

Aw how exciting @Rlacpb! I’m taking pregnancy vitamins with folic acid and vitamin d in. It’s my third baby but I’m a bit out of practice as my other 2 children are 7 & 8 😂 the midwife has said I’ll probably have it on September 2nd.

Apricotta · 13/08/2020 22:37

@Rlacpb oh cool! 😊 Yeah I'm good thanks. Mighty impatient though! I have to self refer via email where I live, did this Tuesday but not heard from them, guessing their very busy! Especially in the heat with full term mummas! Xx

JLM1008 · 14/08/2020 10:03

Is anyone else’s other half driving them mad? I feel like I could murder him 😂

Rlacpb · 14/08/2020 10:38

Ahh that’s great. Mines the 4th September. Do you have any symptoms yet?

Rlacpb · 14/08/2020 10:41

@Apricotta that’s good, yeah maybe they’re busy hopefully you will hear back soon. I’m so impatient, desperate to know things are ok. I guess I’m a bit of a worrier and this is my first pregnancy.

glastogal · 14/08/2020 10:46

@JLM1008 yes, but this is not new to pregnancy Grin

Apricotta · 14/08/2020 11:09

@glastogal 😂! @JLM1008 I have been way to quick to anger and more irritable with everything!
@Rlacpb yeah, I'll give it another week, then ring them up, I don't want to be a pain from day 1 😂 It's my first to and I do have some very mild but probably normal concerns. I think nausea may be setting in slowly, I just feel hungover? (Haven't drank anything since before I found out. Accidentally had 3 Pimm's at a BBQ a few days before I found out. Got too comfortable, forgot we did the deed unprotected as part of TTC, assumed it wasn't going to be successful, just got used to that result! I'm not a big drinker at all! Usually nurse just one glass of wine one night a week if that!) So that's one concern....at that stage it might not have even implanted (I hope). I have achy boobs on and off. Not sure if I'm tired because of bad sleep/heat or baby. I also have a concern that I sometimes wake up in the night with a carpal tunnel type thing where it feels like I've cut off blood supply in my arm somehow. I'm worried it might be causing damage to the development but realistically I can't do anything about how I sleep! I'm also gluten intolerant (IBS) I've been off it for ages (mostly off it) and I was on the Fast800 diet for a month before I found out I was pregnant! So I announced the news to DH by writing in a card "eat up daddy, mummy can't be the only one with a belly!" And a pack of donughts, of which I had half, one each day Blush at which my Fast800 diet promptly ended!!! So I'm worried about what the addition of a biggish uptake in wheat might have done...Blush I've also had cramps but I'm not sure if this is the wheat or the development of the baby and womb...

JLM1008 · 14/08/2020 11:38

@glastogal 😂😂 I don’t think it helps that we went from constant bding to pregnant and things have dried up in that department because my boobs hurt so much haha!
@Rlacpb I’ve mainly had sore boobs, some cramping and just feeling a bit off in the afternoon. Terrible acid reflux/heartburn too!

Rlacpb · 14/08/2020 13:21

@Apricotta hopefully they will contact you soon and help answer some of your concerns. Have you started taken any supplements yet?

@JLM1008 Yeah, I agree some cramping and acid reflux/ heartburn. Feeling sick but not actually sick. I worry about the cramping but hope it’s just things developing.

Apricotta · 14/08/2020 14:11

@Rlacpb fingers crossed 🤞 Yeah I was taking a preconception one which I'm still taking as it's good for all stages, preconception, pregnancy and post natal. It includes folic acid at the recommended dose but I'm taking an extra folic acid to, so upto 400%rda not 200%. Started taking the supplement when I started the fast 800 to make sure I was getting what I needed needed. I lost weight but still have a high bmi of 31. I was taking pregnacare but I don't know if it was interfering with my cycles. I'll never know the true cause but the mix of exercise, diet, coming off pregnacare and going on something else has done the trick! I'm also the least stressed I've ever been thanks to lockdown (ironic I know!) but my work (rather not say on here, but I'm a key worker so it's relatively reliable/future proof ish) is VERY stressful so I've had a nice break 😂.

Mandy133 · 14/08/2020 14:53

Hi Ladies,

I joined Mumsnet back in June when we were TTC, got a bfp on our first month of trying which sadly ended with a chemical, it was really disheartening... moving forward I fell pregnant very quickly straight after. I’m now 6 weeks 2 days and was just wondering ... I’ve been having mild waves of nausea they usually peaks around mid day and lingers for a bit and then completely goes until later in the day or in most cases till the next day is this normal? Just thinking nausea should be getting stronger as the days go on?

this morning I felt like I was MMC as I was full of energy and no sore boobs that soon changed once it got to 12pm, but now I’m totally fine!

So just to sum up is it normal for symptoms come and go at 6 weeks?

I guess the fear of going through a loss really gets me worried!!

Congrats on all your Bfps ... wishing us all a good 8 months or so ahead! smile

SabrinaGx · 14/08/2020 15:17

@Mandy133 heyy, congratulations on your BFP!! I've been thinking the exact same.. i haven't had any nausea, dizziness etc. And was worried I should be feeling something?

I've tested like 8 times lol and all BFP!

I am earlier than you, my last period was 11th July so I think I'm 4+5?
I'm starting to get sore boobs but its not unbearable! I also had tired legs at night last week but that seems so have calmed down now. Just odd as I thought I woild be really tired but my energy levels are fine :/ hope all is OK, hope the same for you too!! I'm sure everything is fine and maybe we should be thankful our symptoms aren't too bad lol xx

Rutennotou · 14/08/2020 16:40

Hi ladies, mind if I join? I'm currently 4 weeks 2 days with an estimated due date of April 21st. Got my very faint BFP on Sunday at 10dpo, have gotten darker since. I had a MMC found at my 12 week scan back in February (stopped at around 7 weeks) so a little anxious. Have some symptoms, getting that stretching/pulling feeling and some waves of nausea during the day, although I think the heat makes it worse.

Apricotta · 14/08/2020 16:58

Congratulations @Mandy133 @SabrinaGx @Rutennotou!!! Nausea has set in for me this afternoon...!
I'm a first timer so I can't answer your qs Mandy but I'd say it's normal Xx
