Lonely!

[Drmukti]

Hi everyone. I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and want my partner to be the first person I tell. Unfortunately we’re apart for the next two weeks and I don’t want to tell him by phone or Zoom. This is my first pregnancy, I’m 36, and feeling so happy but also really worried. I can’t talk to my mum, sister or friends until I tell my partner! Does anyone want to buddy up and/or have any advice? I’d be so grateful!

Hey ! Nice to meet you !

How many weeks are you x

Nice to meet you too! I’m five weeks. How about you? X

I will probably be the same but too afraid to test haha !

I never miss my period or have late cycles, but just don't want to yet as been TTC for past year and always negative! haha

What symptoms do you have ?

I was going to wait and test but couldn’t hold out! I really hope you are. I had very sore boobs (but I always get that before my period), I need to wee more (waking at least once a night) I felt a bit sick and tired, but that’s about it. If I hadn’t been trying I might not have noticed! I used Clearblue early detect test. When do you think you might test?

oooo congrats ! I think I will do it next week, I'll let you know ! I have 1 child and I tested around 5/6 weeks i think, so next week is defo the time !

I have also been waking once in the night to wee and having urgent bowel movements too hahahaha Not usual for me!

I have tingling nipples and boobs feel heavy but not painful and they always are before my period !

I think the reason I haven't tested as I keep getting that full / coming on feeling !

Yes, please do let me know! I'll be keeping everything crossed for you. It sounds as though you have different signs/symptoms to a normal period. I've had the bloating/full feeling and stomach cramps too. But no bleeding so far, even though I'm quite scared to look every time I go to the loo! I also had mild thrush a couple of weeks ago, which was unusual but I didn't think anything of it at the time. Now I know that was another sign.

I found the other group for June 2021 with loads of messages, I'll join that! Are you in it ?

@Drmukti Oh bless you! Are you going to plan a pregnancy reveal for him? Not telling people was so hard and I told my oh straight away so I can only imagine not having someone in real life to talk to about it all! Congratulations and I hope you have a smooth pregnancy op

@Alrowley I did join that group too, so will look forward to seeing you there! I don't know if we can add friends on here or anything? I've not used this before!

@Pol96 I am! I have ordered a personalised baby grow and am planning a mini treasure hunt when I get back. It's helping to focus on that! And thank you for your lovely good wishes ❤️

@Pol96 how far along are you? Congratulations for your pregnancy too! 😁🎉

@Alrowley

I think the reason I haven't tested as I keep getting that full / coming on feeling !

Test! I always feel like coming on more when I'm pregnant than when I'm not. It can be a pregnancy symptom.

@Drmukti Oh that's going to be so cute!! We did a personalised baby vest for our official announcement after the dating scan and combined test results 😊
I'm 26+2 today with a little boy 💙

@rorosemary hahahaha! I might I might! x

@Pol96 oh, congratulations! 💙

That's a lovely idea and I might do the same for friends/family once we're much further down the line. Great minds... 😉

Hey @rorosemary and @Drmukti I did a test today - just now and very dark positive.

Got some light cramps/stretching, like mild period pains but I had those with my first up to 8 weeks so not too worried

Some sharp one this morning, how you ?

Hi @AlRRRR! So sorry for the late reply, I didn't have notifications on!

Congratulations on your positive test!! How are you feeling now? I am back with my partner now, who is over the moon, but I'm suffering badly with feeling sick all the time. Hope your pains have disappeared?

Oh yes all the pains have gone but I feel sick! hahahahaha

@AlRRRR I am really suffering with sickness too. Some days I couldn't move, but have tried the pressure point wrist bands and they are helping slightly. I recommend trying them if you're still feeling sick! Hope you're feeling a bit better though.

I feel sick during waking hours and find if I eat, i feel better, which is diff from 1st pregnancy where eating made me vomit! I just try to eat bland ish foods with a smoothie x
