Is anyone else due on the 22nd may 2021?

Looking for someone to chat too? I'm due on 22nd of may by the online calculators.

Just wanted to speak with someone who's just found out their expecting too?

Feeling very anxious due to previously having misscarriages

@mouldygrapes I work on a very big ward so we've had plenty of doctors and nurses pregnant. When covid hit they kept all pregnant women off initially, but as research started coming in, they said you can be at work until 28wks. Quite looking forward to it really, was a bit jealous of everyone on lockdown, my house is in desperate need of some love and attention!

Hello and congratulations everybody! I’m due 23rd May! Came as a bit of a shock, our little boy is only 9 months old, but we are over the moon! I tested on Saturday because I had a slight nauseous feeling but since then, I’ve just had a little bit of fatigue and that’s it. Anyone else not have any symptoms yet?!

Hows everyone today? I'm not getting many symptoms apart from stomach cramps on and off and boobs a bit tender. Had a horrible taste in my mouth as well when I woke up! Wondering where that pregnancy glow is ... I've had the worst breakout since I was a teenager and red blemishes on my nose. More like Rudolph glow than pregnancy glow 🤣
Just booked for an early scan so only 26 days to go lol x

The only symptom I am getting is burping a lot. I constantly have a feeling at the back of my throat like I need to burp or there is something stuck in there. It is v embarrassing. I’m not even sure if it is pregnancy related. Anyone else have it?

@lucymagoo whoa that's amazing! Definitely parallel lives!

@Trousersareoverrated yes I get that on and off, but admittedly I have been burping alot 🤣. Other than that i mostly have tender boobs on and off and a bit of cramping/back pain but nothing serious or scary thankfully

I feel like all my symptoms have gone, I'm tired but might be due to giving up caffeine and that I'm back in the office and not used to it. My finger joints hurt today, is that a symptom? 😂

Yes, I’ve been burpy too.
Other than that I feel OK - tired but I think that’s caffeine withdrawal like you @lucymagoo.
Not as sick as I felt at the weekend.
I’ve read a lot of people don’t really feel much until 6-8 weeks

Hey I'll be joining you guys as well! Due 11th May but feeling super anxious at the moment due to have 2 miscarriages both around the 12 week mark!! I've got an early scan in a couple weeks on the 29th Sept so just taking it a day at a time right now!

Welcome @Emleighh hope this one works out for you 🤞🏼

@Emleighh congratulations!! I know the nerves I had a miscarriage earlier this year so I'm a bit nervy too.

@Amy259 so exciting, congratulations! Please keep us posted on when you tell your DH and his reaction! Did everyone else test with husbands/partners there, or did you tell them after you'd found out?

Thank you @CharlieD2020! Been a bit anxious today as my FRER wasn’t darker than yesterday’s and I expected it to be. 5 faint positive cheapies and 2 positive FRERs but I’m still not convinced 😂 I’ll feel better when I get a positive on a digital but think I’m going to be a worrier until May!

So sorry to hear of your previous miscarriages @Emleighh and @RustyCat. Keeping everything crossed for everyone x

Ahh I totally get that! I am sat here with every cramp trying not to worry that bleeding will follow! I'm hoping it all works out perfectly for you though! We can worry together, I think I will be worrying a bit until May too hehe

I told my husband first thing, woke him up with "I think I have a positive test" and his response was "to covid??" 😂
He didn't really believe it until about a day or two later and saw my lines getting stronger despite doing a digital the same morning. I had a chemical/false positive on a Tesco test a while ago and he thought it was gonna be the same.

@lucymagoo mine said "even I can see that line!" We are getting a little more excited because the last 2 were over by now so this is a step forward already

Hello Ladies!
Another one here due 25/05 :)
First baby, we are very excited!
Until the fourth test I couldn't believe it...I might do more in the future to convince myself that is real XD
Not a lot of symptoms so far, a bit of cramping but very mild, also some spotting yesterday -when my period was due- but today nothing
So far the worst is to give up caffeine!

@CharlieD2020 I took my test at stupid o'clock in the morning when I woke, left it in the bathroom whilst I waited for hubby to wake and the nosey sod that he is looked at it before I had even seen it!! I had waited 2 hours for him to get up to look at it together, I was absolutely raging 🤣

Aww @Amy259 that sounds lovely. I put my 2 tests in a box and wrapped it at lightening speed before he got home. I filmed him open it and his reaction and I've watched it atleast 5 times already! Sounds like your wedding was lovely!!
@lenny12345 I think my due date is 18th May going by the ovulation date. I'm in Romford Essex, how about you??? X

@Serz88 oooh fellow Essex person here too!

@RustyCat what part are you from?

@Serz88 I'm in Witham, so up the road from you 🤣

Mind if tentatively join? My BFP was a shock, I have a nearly 3 year old DD and it took two full rounds of IVF and years of TTC to have her. I am now 40, and was deliberating over whether to have another round when it just happened naturally, straightaway. Still in shock about it.

I am thrilled but also anxious about a loss, as I’ve known a number of other friends suffer miscarriages recently. My age is a concern for genetic defects, and when I had DD I was rushed into theatre for a manual removal of my placenta and had a horrible 4 days in hospital. Not to mention Covid and the effect on maternity and antenatal care. Even if all goes well, I am terrified of the newborn days again, the sleep deprivation almost broke me with DD and even now she’s not a great sleeper. I don’t know how she will cope with sharing mummy either, she’s so attached to me.

On the positive side we always wanted two, and DD has no other children in the family, so it will be nice for her to have a sibling. I’m also more relaxed about sleeping arrangements and feeding etc second time around. I think I may actually enjoy mat leave more this time having already done it once!

I am still struggling to believe it will happen. If it does I’ll be due 21-24 May according to the calculators.

@TheMagicDeckChair congratulations! I'm that same as you still in shock and cant quite let myself accept this is happening and probably won't until I get a scan really!
I'm a fellow IVF baby so I'm so glad this has happened naturally for you as I've heard what my mum went through and it takes such a toll mentally and physically!
I work with young children and the ones you worry about coping with another sibling often surprise you :)

Morning everyone. I'm suffering from terrible insomnia. I've been awake since 3am for about 5 mornings in a row! I'm like a zombie in the day!

I love this thread as we're all due around the same time but I've started another thread specifically for anyone who is over 40 and due in 2021 as there are extra worries that come with being older! I don't know how to link on my phone but come and find me if that's you 😊
