August '21 Due Dates

[Sleeeeeepy]

Hi!

I got my BFP a few days back (well a lot of BFPs as I'm a POAS addict) and my due date is likely to be early August 2021.

Any other ladies out there with similar exciting news in need of chat and support in these strange times please jump on board!

Ah that's so clever! I've joined thank you. I couldn't figure out how to share that link when I tried to do it

Wondering if anyone can give some advice. I am 4 weeks today after getting a positive on a digital yesterday. But today I have period like cramps and a bit of pink bleeding. Has anyone else experienced this? Just trying not to feel anxious, which is easier said than done!

@Flowers222 sorry to hear that lovely must be hard not to panic. I can't say I've experienced this but from what I've read light bleeding or spotting can be normal throughout pregnancy or it could even be implantation blood. Don't be afraid to call your GP, that's what I would do for absolute assurance! X

Does anyone know if/can we get the flu vaccine in early pregnancy or is it for later in pregnancy only?

@surreymum89 You can get the flu vaccine in early pregnancy. Last pregnancy I got it when I was 8 weeks.

@LunaorJack95 thanks! I've been googling all afternoon and it does look like it is fairly common. It's not heavy, just a bit of spotting so hopefully it is nothing to worry about. Might do another test tonight just to make sure 🙈 I think I am becoming a POAS addict!

@Flowers222 I am a POAS addict too! Def do some more as it's reassuring to see the line either the same or stronger. I'm sure you know but remember to do it with your morning pee 😂😊 x

@Flowers222
I had exactly the same at 4 weeks. I spoke to a midwife from the epau and she said it's most likely implantation. She said to do another test in a week to check it's still positive. Obviously, that means I've done about 16... 🤦‍♀️😂 glad to say the weeks are still going up on clearblue and the line is darker on Internet cheapies. 🤞 x

Thanks @Applecrumble24. I found FMU gave me a lighter line and it got darker in the afternoon which is odd. But unfortunately I don't think it's good news for me. I did a test last night and the line had almost gone so I think it might be a chemical. But I guess the only thing I can do is wait and see. If the spotting doesn't get heavier I will test again at the weekend to give it more time as it is still early. I have a chat with a GP later today so will see what she says. Just hate the not knowing 🤷‍♀️ x

@Flowers222
Fingers crossed for you

After a miscarriage on 30th October, I'm finally able to join this thread because I'm pregnant! Pray for me! Has anyone got morning sickness? What's it like? I feel really queasy

Just found out I'm 4+2 and I'll be due in August 18th. I'm also a POAS addict 😂

I ended up in hospital yesterday on a drip after having a big bleed with clotting and a high fever. I've got to wait until Tuesday for a follow up scan at the early pregnancy unit to see if I've lost the baby or not. I'd had a scan Tuesday following some brown discharge at the weekend and they found two sacs, one was odd shaped but the other was fine, they had said I measured at 5+1 so determined "inconclusive viability" as it was too soon and they were unsure if the second sac was a second baby or bleed and told me to come back next week and then obviously everything happened yesterday 😔
I think it'll be a miracle if I haven't lost the baby and they find something next Tuesday so I'm trying to be realistic. I feel like I've been hit by a bus today x

Can I join please!?

Found out last weekend that I am pregnant with my second, due early August '21. Feeling more confident about the whole process this time around but still a bit shocked that it happened so quickly! We tried for over a year for the first, this one happened two months after stopping breastfeeding. Doesn't feel real yet!

@ALB1990 I'm so so sorry to read this - sending all my hope and love that they have some good news for you xxxx

@ALB1990 I'm so so sorry my lovely 💜

I really hope they have good news for you and I'm sending you lots of hugs and love 😘

@SFA21 @Smushty14 thank you ❤️ I hate the uncertainty, feels like the longest wait ever xx

@ALB1990 so sorry to read this, wish I could offer some reassuring words but it's out of your hands so just be kind to yourself, what will be will be 💗

I'm sorry @ALB1990 it must be so stressful and upsetting. As others have said try to be kind to yourself and get some rest, everything crossed it's a positive outcome next week x

I think I'm due in August so will finally join, from my LMP I'm due in June(!) but I had a scan yesterday and they measured me at 6+4 rather than 13+1. I have only had one period since DD was born 2 years ago and my periods have always been wonky so it's not surprising just a bit disappointed to find I'm not as far along, I only found out on the 29th but thought I'd managed to skip some of the 1st trimester rubbish. Alas I'm nauseous all the time and shattered so looks like I'll have to deal with it again, plus a toddler and new job.

Speaking of new job, I am dreading telling them according to my dates I got pregnant the day before I started no SMP for me then and they don't do enhanced Mat pay anyway.

Obviously I've picked my hospital, different one this time as I didn't have the most positive birth (not awful just not really listened too and had her at home alone...) and would prefer a home birth and closer hospital this time. Already thinking about the birth a lot, woke up super early this morning and was reading old MN threads.

The scan I had was ok but DP and I were a bit underwhelmed by it, baby looks like an alien still (and 7mm long), 12 weeks is much cuter but we did see the flickering heartbeat. I'm supposed to be having a midwife appointment at home tomorrow but I think things have got mixed up so not sure what's happening but I'm not even that pregnant so there's time. Next scan is mid January, so far away, was bad enough waiting a week and a half for yesterday's one.

Wanted to be 12 weeks so I could tell people at Xmas but we probably won't now, desperate to tell SIL/BF but DP doesn't want me to so I'm just wittering on here

Oh and someone up thread said they were still BF their older child, I am too! My nipples are so sore though and it sucks atm especially and she's not well and wants boob all the time

Will request to join the FB group and maybe WhatsApp

Yes DS2 is a boob monster. He still sleeps with us half the night as well. I'm just hoping that changes within the next 6 months or so because I don't mind tandem feeding, but don't feel it's safe to bed share with a newborn and this flaily monster!

I'm starting to get some nausea creeping around the edges now. I haven't been sick with my others, just felt it, so hopefully this one will be the same!

@BertieBotts same here, she's in her cot/bed in our room for the first part of the night till I go to bed then from the next wake up she's in with us. I'm not doing to even go near doing a nursery I just want to try and do her a bedroom to gently encourage her to sleep somewhere she can't dig her toes in me (or a little baby).

At the moment we have two bedrooms for the kids, DS1 age 12 is in the big room and DS2 age 2 is in the little one, but we're going to swap them so that the little ones can share.
