Hi ladies! New to this board just moved over from conception! Cannot quite believe it! I'm panicking as it's been a year (exactly!!) Since my miscarriage, and now I have backache and light cramps! Is that normal at four weeks can anyone put my mind at ease? X

Hi everyone how are you all? I'm still much the same. Felt slight bit of nausea this morning. Going to book early scan for 2nd week in December by then I will be just over 8 weeks. Hope you are all well x

Redfoot89 · 19/11/2020 15:14

@Bambi300180 hey!

Not much change here, nausea worse some days than others but now it is all day long and not just in the morning 🤣 had a few achy cramps this week. My DH thinks we should book a scan for the week before Christmas, ill be 9 weeks by then. Im thinking it would be a good time to go although as already said i feel like time is going SO slow.

Was talking to my dh about feeling sick etc and he randomly came out with - "honestly, women are so much stronger mentally than men, i know id hate feeling ill all the time" 🤣👍

@Redfoot89 @Bambi300180 hey! I'm panicking over here after week of horrific sickness all day everyday I feel a million times better today just minor nausea on and off! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 hey! Try not to panic - i know, easier said than done. It coming and going is a normal thing i think?? Or ive seen/read it happening to others. I panicked earlier today as thought my boobs had stopped hurting but no, they haven’t 🤣 (please tell me im not the only one who randomly touches her chest to make sure they still hurt...😅)

Blossom428 · 19/11/2020 16:01

All good here @Bambi300180
I'm worried because I literally have no symptoms- apart from a slight bloat and maybe feeling slightly more tired. (Not that I'm praying for sickness as I know you are suffering baadd) but just hope it means things are progressing as they should.

I feel like the days are taking sooo long, I keep googling things, then looking up pregnancy reveal ideas and getting ahead of myself 🙈

@AnxiousAnnie86 don't worry yourself- people have good and bad days in waves- just try enjoy the days you don't feel as sick!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 19/11/2020 16:53

@Redfoot89 I'm just thinking the worst now and it's really scaring me my boobs have been less sore then they were but think that's normal xx

@Blossom428 @Redfoot89 @AnxiousAnnie86 @ I feel my boobs all the time as well just to be sure as it's the only symptom I really have! Lol I still feel really anxious as well although trying not to. Always wiping 🧻 and took another clear blue weeks and got my 3+ so hopefully going the right way. Just want to be 12 weeks so I can start to relax a bit x

Bambi300180 · 19/11/2020 17:00

@AnxiousAnnie86 some day my boobs are more tender than others so don't worry that's normal. X

Bambi300180 · 19/11/2020 17:01

@Blossom428 stay away from google! It's the worst thing in times like this. Positive thinking is all we need to do right now x

Bambi300180 · 19/11/2020 17:03

@Redfoot89 your man has it spot on! We are strong women 🤜 men would never cope with this lol x

Blossom428 · 19/11/2020 17:12

Yesss positive thinking is the way forward! @AnxiousAnnie86
What day would you get a 3+ on digital? @Bambi300180 , I have one left in the cupboard but waiting untill I would hit the 3+ mark haha.

We are amazing women! I just think it's insane how our bodies can create a little human inside and going through everything to make it happen. Guys have it soooo easy!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 19/11/2020 17:20

@Blossom428 I'm hoping because I've been back at work today and busy I've not felt it as much... I'm freaking out inside,

I got a 3 + 9 days after my bfp at 14 so 23dpo? X

OP posts:
AnxiousAnnie86 · 19/11/2020 17:22

@Blossom428 I may of gotten one sooner but I didn't dare test! I got a 2-3 at 14dpo then didn't try again on a digital until 23

Bambi300180 · 19/11/2020 17:37

@Blossom428 you should get your 3+ once your past 5 week mark. I just got mine yesterday morning but I was 2-3 at the weekend. So that would have made me exactly 3 weeks past ovulation when I got mine. X

Blossom428 · 19/11/2020 19:34

Ooh okay- @Bambi300180 @AnxiousAnnie86
I'll be 5 weeks on Sunday, so I'd do it next week at some point then 😊😊

Blossom428 · 20/11/2020 07:50

When's your predicted due date everyone?
@Bambi300180 @AnxiousAnnie86 @Redfoot89
Are we all in July? Or are you a June baby Annie?

Redfoot89 · 20/11/2020 07:53

@Blossom428 mines is july.

No actual sickness yet but last night and this morning is the worst ive felt so far 😩😩😩

Bambi300180 · 20/11/2020 07:56

AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/11/2020 09:25

@Blossom428
My due date I think would be 4th going by my ovulation date, but nhs for now are saying 19th June until my dating scan.../ however I will be c section so it'll be a June baby regardless

@Redfoot89 mine got worse and worse until I actually threw up, then I've felt better since, still getting waves on a morning but thays all, I'm praying nothing is wrong xx

Blossom428 · 20/11/2020 09:28

Ooh we'll be around similar time then @Bambi300180 @Redfoot89 😆 I've joined a July 2021 thread on here and then ended up joining a private Facebook group- I don't add anything but just interesting to read what some people put haha.

How come your will be defo c section @AnxiousAnnie86 if you don't mind me asking x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/11/2020 09:48

@Blossom428 I had a c section with my daughter, it was quite traumatic birth and ended up with a blood clot ans in hospital for weeks, it really effected me so the section this time will be optional, I was advised it would be the best option as I'm at risk of rupture xx

Cornflake24 · 20/11/2020 09:55

I will be 4 weeks on Sunday after two MCs.
Booked a private scan on 22nd Dec for my Christmas, praying its good news!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/11/2020 09:58

@Cornflake24 hey! That will be such a lovely Christmas present! I have a private scan booked next week, I will be 9 weeks then xxx

OP posts:
Blossom428 · 20/11/2020 10:22

Oh gosh- sorry to hear how traumatic your first birth was. Like you say if you can have a c section and it won't be as traumatic then defo go for that option @AnxiousAnnie86

Congratulations @Cornflake24 I'll be 5 weeks on Sunday. So you are a week behind me 😊

Cornflake24 · 20/11/2020 10:24

@AnxiousAnnie86 great will be good to have someone in the same boat haha im so nervous following 2 MCs praying im not as ill as I was during last pregnancy but will accept anything for the baby to be safe haha
