Hi everyone!

There doesn’t seem to be a thread yet for July 2021, probably because most of you haven’t got your BFP yet! I got mine yesterday at 9DPO which was super early but had a pretty clear line on a FRER with afternoon urine, so confirmed with a digital. My due date is 4th July 2021 and I can’t wait for more of you to join me!! Feeling excited but a bit overwhelmed / not everything has sunk in yet. Also it’s still super early so I’m crossing my fingers (and legs!) that this little one sticks. It’s my first baby so I have no experience of any of this!

Hopefully see more of you in the next few days!!

Xx

Nausea has kicked in this morning Envy

Congratulations to all the newest BFP’s! So happy for you all!

So I tested positive a week ago at 3 weeks pregnant (dating from LMP). I got 1-2 weeks on a CB digital on Saturday but have been worrying all week that it’s wrong or I’m not pregnant. It’s hard as we had a MMC in August so now I feel so worried. Anyway am exactly 4 weeks today (period is due) and did a CB digital just now hoping desperately and got 2-3 weeks! So feeling a bit happier and more reassured. I know it’s not much, but I guess at this point I’ll take whatever I can get. That is until symptoms kick in! All I have atm is the inability to sleep. That usually comes later lol

mariebaby3 · 13/11/2020 11:51

Morning all Smile

Is anyone else hyper aware of their symptoms right now? I'm still early but every morning I pretty much grope myself to make sure my boobs are still hurting. I question why I had a good nights sleep etc etc lol... feel like I'm going to drive myself mad! I know i should probably make the most of it before sickness etc kicks in though :)

EatPrayYoga · 13/11/2020 12:05

@4Minions2CallMyOwn I think a few of us have had difficulty sleeping. It is hard to relax after a loss. My first pregnancy ended in stillbirth at 40 weeks so whilst I am keen to get though the first trimester successfully, I think it will be difficult for us to relax until a healthy baby arrives.

@mariebaby3 I feel the same. I have definitely had symptoms but my sickness is quite miles at times I feel absolutely fine so it is a worry but remember some people don't know they're pregnant until late on as not everyone has severe sickness etc.

4Minions2CallMyOwn · 13/11/2020 12:09

@EatPrayYoga I’m so so sorry for what you’ve been though, I can’t imagine your loss Flowers

Yes it’s hard to relax, I know what will be will be though so just need to take it a day at a time

Thank you for your message

PeanutButterFalcon · 13/11/2020 12:12

@mariebaby3 I am the same. I keep worrying every time I don't feel sick/tired and keep poking my boobs. Seriously considering buying cheap tests so I can check regularly

Lille4 · 13/11/2020 12:53

Hey everyone. I need help. I started brown spotting today and I’m so devastated. I’m a complete bag of nerves because it all seems so familiar. I know bleeding could be 50/50 but I’m so down I don’t know what to do. Currently 4w 5days. Will I be able to see the gp if it’s this early???😢😢😢

MrsH2019 · 13/11/2020 13:03

@Lille4 please try not to worry. It is quite common to spot during early pregnancy. I have during this pregnancy and my last. Both times it was around when my period would of been due (the gp called it breakthrough bleeding). I know it’s a huge worry when you see blood in pregnancy. As long as it’s just spotting and you are not in pain, I would keep an eye on it. Xx

Lille4 · 13/11/2020 13:17

@MrsH2019 thanks for the kind words. How far gone are you now? And how long did it last?
With my son I didn’t have even a drop of blood once so every time I spot I think it’s going horribly wrong for me. Hopefully not. I’ll try to stay calm.

Im joining too! Got my BFP with DD 16/07/2021... 1 day after my only living childs DOB. Im taking it as a good omen! Smile

Having some pretty good symptoms- nausea all day, bloating and lower back ache. I had lots of light cramping the beginning of this week and have had light constipation too.

Fingers and toes crossed this is a sticky baby!

4Minions2CallMyOwn · 13/11/2020 16:21

@Lille4 yes spotting is very common, and brown is a good thing I believe. Well way better then bright red! I spotted during several of my pregnancies and they were all fine. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I know it’s so hard not to worry, I’m the same. Everything crossed that your baby is okay Flowers

@Holl1993 Congratulations! Great that you’re having symptoms and have a good omen Smile

TTCbabyBrown · 13/11/2020 16:45

Hi ladies
Got a BFP today after 2 consecutive miscarriages in the last year. We are so desperate for this to stick but so frightened to start this journey again.
I have been booked in for an EPU scan on the 8th of December so let's see if we make it that far. Have never got to 6 weeks previously.
Loving the positive vibes on here so far. Congratulations ladies.
Fingers crossed for us all 🥰❤🌈

Holl1993 · 13/11/2020 17:31

@TTCbabyBrown were in the exact same boat.. Best of luck to you x x x

Runnergirl1 · 13/11/2020 17:36

Hi Ladies may I join. Due 9th July although I think that will be a little out as I think I ovulated late. I had a mmc in July so I haven’t joined any new pregnancy groups as I’ve been so worried about it happening again. I’m 6+2 if I follow nhs but think I’m a little less like that. Can’t get an early reassurance scan through nhs because of Covid either so just have to ride it out and hope for the best x

TTCbabyBrown · 13/11/2020 17:39

We're all in this together! ❤

Runnergirl1 · 13/11/2020 17:39

Due 7th July sorry

strawberrycherryblossom · 13/11/2020 18:49

So nausea is now hitting me hard which is annoying but fine. One thing I didn't expect though, how much worse wearing a mask in the shop makes it. Practically ran round in fear of being sick! Anyone else?

stellarfox · 14/11/2020 06:31

Congratulations all the new bfps. Really hope that these pregnancies work out. In case it helps anyone else I like to check this miscarriage reassurance website which shows you every day the odds get a little better. datayze.com/miscarriage-chart

Holl1993 · 14/11/2020 06:37

Anyone else experiencing waking up earlier?! I cant sleep past 5.30!

Lille4 · 14/11/2020 06:57

Unfortunately it didn’t work out for me. I’ve had heavy bleeding (sorry tmi ) all night and I just know it’s over for me. Thanks everyone and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you all. Praying you have a much better outcome than I did. I feel emotionally and physically drained but will carry on hope the next cycle i get my rainbow baby 🌈 good luck ladies xxx

Jilly1988 · 14/11/2020 06:57

I am having a proper panic day today. I'm 5+5 now and still absolutely no symptoms at all. I had a clear blue digital left and used it last night and it came up as 2-3 when I thought it should be 3+ by now. I have also been waking up early to pee each morning but today haven't needed to at all.

Hopefulmummie · 14/11/2020 07:10

@Jilly1988 I wouldn't worry I'm 5+3 and took a clear blue digital 2 days ago and it was 2-3 weeks but I done it evening time too. I done one this morning and got 3+ think it's better if you do it 1st pee.

I've no real symptoms either until last night when I was feeling so nauseous 😷 but feel ok this morning. Think it just comes and goes

Jilly1988 · 14/11/2020 07:24

@Hopefulmummie I did mine last night. I had one more left and I just gave in and used that this morning and it's just showed 3+ so made me feel a bit better. I should really be thankful for not feeling sick or having sore boobs.
