Anyone else just found out/newly pregnant?

I tested v positive this morning, with est ovulation 07.09.2020 and est due date 31.05.2021. So basically only 4 weeks pregnant?

I'm feeling only tiny symptoms - a bit bloat, crampy, fluttery tummy and a bit gassy.

Finding myself so nervous about potential miscarriage. Checking for blood every time I wee! Just exercised and worried throughout about somehow harming it Blush

Anyone else in the same position?

Ah we've got quite the group now 🥰

Congratulations to you all! 💕

@EwwDavid im glad you've said about the tiredness, I was thinking surely this is too early?! But when it gets to the evening I can't keep my eyes open! 💤

@barbiemummy20 haha I'm with you on the camera off approach! I haven't felt sick but I'm so tired and my face tells that 😂

@Lisha91 im with you on the tiredness and loss of appetite! All I want to eat is cereal 😂 I'm only now week 4 I think, but I've had slight spotting and cramping each day but my tests are getting darker so I'm not too worried ☺️

@Tipptopgirl ah thanks for that lovely! I was the same, thought my period had started early and was fuming 😂 but when it was just brown / pink spotting I thought 🤔

@TheDaydreamBelievers that's good line progression 😍 so pleased it isn't just me testing daily haha. I've got a clear blue test which I'm keeping for the weekend 😂 then I might stop!

I'm from Lancashire ☺️

Have you guys all rang the doctors? I'm not sure when to call? X

ScottishLassie91 · 23/09/2020 11:15

Hoping its okay to join! I got a positive OPK on 3rd September and got my BFP on 13th September! Think I'm currently 5+1 and due on 25th May.
Hope everyone is doing okay :) xx

KateColx · 23/09/2020 11:16

Here's my obsessive testing 😂☺️

TheDaydreamBelievers · 23/09/2020 11:28

Of course @ScottishLassie91 - hello! First baby? Assuming you are in Scotland like me.

@KateColx I phoned the day I got my BFP. Have my midwife telephone consultation in oct and scan in early Nov booked! I am not sure when I will stop testing. Have another FRER that I will use on monday (one week after my BFP FRER)

TheDaydreamBelievers · 23/09/2020 11:31

@KateColx this is my 13/14DPO BFP FRER - just cause I like looking at it Grin

@TheDaydreamBelievers oh did you? I had no idea when to call 😂 I think I'll keep testing with the FRERs this week, CB on Saturday and then if all good I'll call them on Monday. Period isn't due until tomorrow so I think I'll feel better when I've got past that 🥰

KateColx · 23/09/2020 11:31

@TheDaydreamBelievers that's a great line!! I'm hoping mine looks a little stronger tomorrow ☺️

TheDaydreamBelievers · 23/09/2020 11:32

@KateColx makes sense! I think its going to be really hard to not just worry every day between now and Nov 3rd!

ScottishLassie91 · 23/09/2020 11:37

@TheDaydreamBelievers thankyou! yeah first baby and also in Scotland!
I've already called midwife and have my appointments all booked in already, now its a waiting game!

Glad to see I'm not the only one POAS constantly, I used my last test yesterday and have vowed to not buy anymore haha. My phone is now full of pics of pregnancy tests Blush

BabyDust13 · 23/09/2020 11:39

@TheDaydreamBelievers that is correct so it's spot on I'm exactly 5 weeks today +3 is from conception 😍

I have some cheapies left but to be honest I think I'm done testing now

Congratulations to everyone it's so nice to have a little group when everyone's in the same boat

TheDaydreamBelievers · 23/09/2020 11:44

Haha @ScottishLassie91 I keep sending them to my husband too, just to be like LOOK. And I have stuck them in a little notebook Blush where I'm recording my food and supplements BlushBlushBlush

I'm thinking of telling my best friend v early as she is here right now and it's not clear when she will next be able to come over (lives in different country). She is also TTC and I'd rather tell her in person.

So my Clear Blue test was taken last Wednesday and said 2-3 does that mean my pregnancy was 3-4 weeks and is now 4-5? 🥴 Having never had regular periods to keep track of most of this stuff goes over my head! Last time I had to have a scan to date my pregnancy at 10 weeks as I had no idea when my last period was! Same again this time, I only tested on a whim! 😂

hereforallthehelp · 23/09/2020 12:00

Hello everyone! So many of us now!

Is anyone else getting like a dull ache pain in their ovaries? It comes and goes and wondering if I need to be worried about it (google says there’s 8 different things I should be worried about so trying not to freak out!)

TheDaydreamBelievers · 23/09/2020 12:03

@hereforallthehelp try not to worry. Generally symptoms of v early pregnancy are pulling, swinging, aching etc in abdomen; general tummy nonsense - gas, belching, constipation; headaches; tiredness; nausea. I'm sure it's just part of the wonder of human bodies!

OP posts:
hereforallthehelp · 23/09/2020 12:06

@TheDaydreamBelievers thanks lovely. It’s what I keep telling myself. Will probably do that other test tomorrow/Friday and hopefully feel a bit better!

It’s all I can think about at the moment, struggling to get any work done!

ScottishLassie91 · 23/09/2020 12:12

@TheDaydreamBelievers I'm the same haha! My husband is like, yeah you're still pregnant ... Grin I told my best friend as soon as i found out so I could tell someone and we ended up telling our parents at the weekend as we're really close to both parents and it felt horrible keeping it from them. Felt better when we did, a bit more real x

@hereforallthehelp I've had bad cramping and sometimes like a pulling pain in my low abdomen. When I called my GP I mentioned it and he told me it was completely normal and nothing too worry about :)

KateColx · 23/09/2020 12:13

@hereforallthehelp I'm having the same hun, had it since last Thursday really but very light and on and off. Google is a dangerous place isnt it 😂 I'm also trying to stay away from other MN threads to not scare myself. Also with you on the mo work front, it must be one of my least productive weeks! X

TheDaydreamBelievers · 23/09/2020 12:22

Same @hereforallthehelp @KateColx. I have mainly been on mumsnet and messaging my husband "!!!" Or pictures of the test

mrswilso · 23/09/2020 12:38

Just found out last night I'm 3+4 today with my first 🥰
...aaaand let the paranoia commence 🤣

BabyDust13 · 23/09/2020 12:55

@ExcaliburCottage so on the clear blue 2-3 is actually 4-5 weeks and the 3+ is actually 5+ weeks hope this helps 🥰

KateColx · 23/09/2020 13:09

@mrswilso congratulations! You're in good company here 😂🥰

HeyDW96 · 23/09/2020 13:31

Congratulations guys! Got quite the group going on here 💞

With the new restrictions, I'm feeling quite isolated already! I have a few friends who have recently had babies and I really wanted to meet them to ask them EVERYTHING and now I can't 🙁

Hopefully this doesn't go on for too long!

hereforallthehelp · 23/09/2020 14:03

@ScottishLassie91 @KateColx @TheDaydreamBelievers phew! See this is why it’s good to share on the internet 😂😂 feel better already, thank you!

Re - telling people. My best friend came round yesterday with her 5 month old baby but I didn’t tell - think I might wait until the private scan?

SugarPlumRoar · 23/09/2020 14:08

Hi all can I join? Got a very early BFP at the weekend and think I'm about 4 weeks pregnant and due around the 7th of June.

This is my 2nd DC and I suffered with HG in my first pregnancy for the whole 9 months, unfortunately the sickness has started again.

I'm in Scotland and it seems the booking in process for my area has changed since I was last pregnant so I need to figure out what it is and when we're actually meant to call to get booked in.

I'm not convinced on my dates as my last cycle was all over the place and I bled several times with no idea which was my actual period, so considering booking a private scan for the dates and reassure that everything is ok

EwwDavid · 23/09/2020 14:17

I ordered some more FRERS to keep testing to make sure everything’s ok Grin

I am so bloated today, I already look about 5 months pregnant!
