June 2021 club

[EwwDavid]

I’m very early with this! I found out yesterday I’m pregnant, due 1st June.

Anyone else with me yet?

@bex757 I think my heartburn is what’s making me want to vomit the whole time. I keep drinking gaviscon and it seems to help a bit but I’m hoping it’ll pass soon!

@bestsquirrelinthewholehole I had an upset stomach last week and was a bit concerned it was down to my gaviscon glugs! It’s settled now though and I seem to remember it happening when I was pregnant with my little boy. I think I read somewhere it was to do with the hormones (& since my periods returned after having my son I would get a bit of an upset stomach around the time my period was due too. Just make sure you keep drinking plenty so you don’t get dehydrated.

@Pika93 sorry to hear you’re having such a bad time, what’s there reason for not seeing you again? Do you self refer to them or go through your GP? I hope you get some answers soon 😢

@Humpty11 they won't see my again as it's been less than a week since they last saw me, I'm sure everything will be fine as we saw baby was in the right place and there was a good heartbeat but it's terrifying not knowing what is going on and what this bleeding is, gp had referred me as I still haven't seen my midwife yet

@humpty11 thanks, I did think as much re: hormones.
It's funny what you forget from previous pregnancies. My last was 5 years ago and it's honestly like starting again!!

Is anyone able to recommend a pre natal vitamin? I’m just about to finish my pre conception one and trying to figure out what to buy!

@PumpkinEverything I've been taking the pregnacare plus tablets

@bestsquirrelinthewholehole i normally do in the mornings 🙈 im sure i had it with my first pregnancy too.

It’s official. First trimester sucks. My boobs are huge, my stomach is so bloated and uncomfortable, I can’t stop burping, I’m breaking out in spots and to top it all off, I’m constantly nervous and anxious and overthinking. Roll on 12 weeks!

I've just started these last week after my bfp, and seem to be getting on well with them so far. First baby for me worked out due date to be around 18th June. Congrats everyone
Xx

@PumpkinEverything I'm taking the seven seas pregnancy tablets and separate omega 3 supplements.

Has anyone else lost their appetite? I'm feeling nauseas all day and not really eaten anything for about 2 days and now feel so guilty that I've done some harm to the baby. Tried some toast earlier but just vomited now.

Does anyone have any recommendations for apps / YouTube for pregnancy yoga or Pilates?

@MrsV2018 I've had a real appetite decrease which is unlike me although I've felt a little nauseous at times it's not been too bad so far but i have excessive saliva which is irritating!

@bez91 guess the loss of appetite is quite common then. Hope you are coping ok with the extra saliva

Thanks for the recommendations! Will look up both of those 😊 the pregnacare pre conception made me feel like I had constant brain fog so not sure if the other ones will make me feel the same 🤔
I noticed my appetite decrease a little last week. I love snacks and I felt like I never wanted any, and sometimes only had one for the sake of eating. Definitely felt a lot hungrier today though! And I’ve mostly been wanting crisps 😂 I feel like I need to take advantage of being able to eat and eat what I can as I’m so terrified of being nauseous and sick and not being able to eat the things I enjoy!

@PabsyPops no recommendations from me, but also something I want to look for too!

My acid reflux, is taking a turn for the worst tonight- not sure if it's joint with morning sickness, but I'm constantly been sick to the point I'm now bringing up small amounts of blood with it, as my throat is so sore.

I can join the bleeding club. Enough to cover a tissue. (tight be tmi but it was after a number 2) I'm so Freaked out I'm having a misscarage. I'm not enjoying being pregnant so far.

@Sitchervice it sucks how long have you been bleeding? Have you seen anyone yet?

@PabsyPops no suggestions for the others but I used this app with my first pregnancy and am using it again this time

@Pika93 only tonight and I had no more other than that bit on a tittue.

@Sitchervice I had this last week, one wipe with lots of bright red blood and CM (sorry to be gross!). Completely panicked but then haven’t had any more bleeding since. It’s easier said than done but don’t panic, it can be totally normal. If you get any more today then it’s definitely worth getting to the EPU or calling your doctor, but my scanner told me that most women get some bleeding at some point so it might be nothing.

@Pika93 if EPU won't see you again and you're desperate for some reassurance, could you book a private scan? I appreciate they are pricey though (between £60-80 depending on which private ultrasound place you visit usually)

@Penny2020 it does appear to be this way dosnt it. It certainly Freaked me out! I had a scan Monday due to cramping so they probably wouldn't see me again for a while

Pika93 sounds so similar to my with my daughter, my last pregnancy. First 6 weeks had spotting/ bright red blood as well as excruciating cramps. Was constantly in the EPU and finally they gently, told me to go away, try to relax and just hope for the best. They can’t give every worried mum a scan each day for reassurance much as we want and need it. I’m still convinced it was a “near miscarriage” that my body was trying to miscarry but somehow baby stuck. Still think of her as a little miracle, but you hear this so often. It can turn it ok. As much as possible be kind to yourself and try to distract yourself- new box set/ movies. X

Also if anyone is near SW London I have a place that does scans throughout pregnancy for £45. Used it loads previous pregnancies. PM me for details

Hi guys, tentatively joining you. Im 5 weeks pregnant with (surprise!!!) number 3. Freaking out quite a lot...! Have DS3 and DS1.
Has taken me a week to get my head around it, but now ready to talk about it! I am booked for a scan at 6 weeks privately (terrified there will be more than 1 in there....!) and then I will have NIPT at 10 weeks I think before the 12 week scan.
Excited to join you on the rollercoaster!
