[Gingergeek89]

Wanted to create a follow up thread for those who are pregnant and are due in May 2021. Please feel free to ask questions and share stories

@Littlebee1990 congratulations on the scan and the positive news. Hope all continues to go well for you x

@Littlebee1990 yay! So pleased for you ❤️

@Littlebee1990 that’s great news!! Hope it’s eased your mind a bit!

@Littlebee1990 so so pleased to hear your scan went well keeping everything crossed for you for the future!!

@Littlebee1990 that's great, hope your able to feel a bit more relaxed now x

In case anyone thought it would be a good idea to watch One Born Every Minute, you know to desensitise yourself to it all...maybe wasn’t my wisest choice!! Off to google hypnobirthing stories to calm myself down.

Oh dont say that @Twobecomingthreeplusthedog it's my absolute worst fear....argh. bizarrely I was googling stuff about it earlier, am just horrified. Like is it as bad as people say? Yes they all agree...its worse! If u find anything useful for calming please send a link!!!

I figure people do it more than once, it can’t be that bad

I’m sure it’s the worst pain I will ever feel in my life, but hopefully it won’t traumatise next and give me ptsd.

I’m going to order a hypnobirthing book off of amazon, & demand gas & air 😂

I had gas and air when I had a ruptured cyst and it made me so sick I refused it! My only saving grace is that when I was on a ward with 5 other women with ruptured cysts they all agreed that their pain was worth than all their labours, I’m hanging on to hope that I went through similar for 3 days just didn’t have my minnie shredded in the process.

I’m also a huge needle phobic so an epidural is my LAST resort and need to be put to sleep for a c-section because I wouldn’t cope with being awake

Hoping if I watch 365 hypnobirthing births before it’s my turn it will come naturally. HA HA HA

@Littlebee1990 wonderful news! Congratulations.

We have a scan today, I'm estimated to be either 9+2 by estimated conception dates or 10+2 by period dates.

Still feeling rough 😞 nausea is awful and having to eat small amounts but very regularly to keep it at bay.

We've told our 3yo as she has a habit of jumping all over me and she got wind of me being sick a lot. Weve said it's a secret for now but I suspect she's told all of preschool as she is so excited. She's been asking for a baby for ages! Not sure she realises this will be a real one, to stay, unlike her dolls!

Epidural all the way!

@Littlebee1990 so wonderful that you got to see the little heartbeat — make sure you rest up. Will be thinking of you!

@Willowfalls I think I’m due around 24th, so a few days before you 😊

All good with our scan. Relieved! Baby was curled up so couldn't measure accurately; the stenographer said between 9+5 and 10+2 weeks.

Thank you all so so much xxx

@UnicornAndSparkles oh fab news! You'll be so relieved all good and sounds like you've got a right snug little bean in there 🥰 xx

@UnicornAndSparkles congratulations on the good scan! X

Amazing news @Littlebee1990. Lot’s of rest & TLC for you. @Bananas52 ahh exciting! How are you feeling so far? Xx

@Littlebee1990 so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️

Pregnancy pillow ordered, hopefully will have a proper night's sleep tomorrow!

Omg @imisscoffee - how far along are you? This is 100% going to be the first thing I buy

Can’t thank you all enough for the support!
Is it mad to say I still don’t feel pregnant 🤣🙈 honestly all that’s happened so far is I’ve got fat... I’m bloated and wobbly and just gross! That ain’t because of a jelly bean sized bubba inside me that because I’ve been living off junk plain food. Only symptoms I have are nipples like bullets, 4am wake up wees and the desire to eat beige, beige and more beige x

Only symptoms I have at 6+3 is waking up for wees, spots and dizziness

I'm not sure what's goin on with me, had a positive test a week ago, then yesterday got a negative on one of those clear blue week indicator tests, iv been getting bad anxiety, I'm around the 5+4 week mark, and symptoms are coming and going, couple days ago I felt really nauseous super tired today I barely feel anything so gonna go docs tomorrow 😫😫

I think I’m losing another one. I feel like it’s even harder to process when we saw a clear heartbeat on Saturday.

My vagina hurts a lot atm, as if it’s stretching, my boob pain is COMPLETELY gone. Had some bleeding last night, which has turned into very watery brown discharge this morning, which I know can be normal but this doesn’t feel it.

I can’t sleep, but I also can’t seem to just sob my heart out, & I don’t know what to do about work

This can’t be happening again

@Sansa87 Are you ok? Honestly it’s so easy to question every pain and niggle but I’ve been assured that it’s normal to feel strange down there as everything is moving around.
If you’re still worried then call your local EPU and they’ll be able to advise you ❤️❤️
