September 2021!

[Keyboard91]

I’ve created a thread for September 2021 babies in the birth club board. Come and join me if you get those long awaited bfps this month!

@MrsMcNtobe I know... She was actually the one who asked me did I do a clear blue and what did it say. Maybe she just got confused. Cause I'm def at least 4 weeks according to ovulation and clear blue

@Hopefulmummie @MrsMcNtobe that’s all I’ve got to go by too, 3+ weeks it says and there info as you’ve read says to add a fortnight. Honestly, we are pregnant though so that is really one of the only things that counts

@danigrace ohh yes! I found those so reassuring, I think I felt a tiny tap at 13 weeks then nothing for about 3 weeks then at 16 I could feel decent movement. That feels ages away though. On the outlier note, great book on audible called ‘outliers’ I —read— listened to it a year or so ago and described people who are ‘outside of the norm’.

@Hopefulmummie @FTEngineerM I feel like I’m winging it because I’m 4+6 from last period but I’ve been 3+ on clearblue since Monday - in the grand scheme of things you’re right it makes no difference because we’re pregnant 🥳😍

@FTEngineerM I like you 😁

My dr did tell me I should be more careful with things because I’m classed as high risk, but I know a lot of people who have their first between 35 - 38 and they’re all fine. I did fall over in the snow today, landed smack on my ass, more concerned that I broke a hip than anything else 😂

Hey I hope you are all having a better time than me

Arrrrrgh 7 weeks today and I'm just a wreck.

I woke up just so emotional and teary and there was no reason at all I just felt so overwhelmed that I cried but it still didn't shift my low,

then I have a UTI and I know it's tmi but it's really painful when I go and I have to go 6/7 times in the night. I have kids during the day I just seem to be getting no rest.

I'm tired just feel drained all the time 🥺 oh and it doesn't get any better I've gone off food full stop the fear of being sick has just left me feeling like I can't and shouldn't eat.
And then I'm having pregnacare I had them with previous pregnancies too but this time round the smell it just sends me running to grab a bag or to the toilet to be sick 🤢 so still end up where I feared I didn't want to be
My pelvic pain is kicking in I can feel it already. Even typing this I'm just so upset and being isolated with nobody around is adding to feeling lonely. I was fine up till today aside the UTI but emotions sickness pelvic pain I just feel like giving up.

So so sorry if I've offended anyone in my rant but I'm just so upset I don't know who to turn to as I haven't told anyone just yet 😭

Don't be sorry @MindyMalik that sounds rough. We're not designed to be holed up on our own, especially when we most need support xx

@MindyMalik big hugs ❤️ and certainly don't apologise this is the place to vent!! I can relate with the pelvic pain, I have a connective tissue disorder so have to use sticks to mobilise as soon as I'm pregnant - pelvis was giving in a couple of days before my positive test! Can you get referred or self refer to your hospital's women's health physio?
Sorry to hear about your sickness too 😫 I have to sandwich pregnacare with my breakfast (eat a little bit, take them, eat a bit more), been the same every pregnancy, if I have them on an empty stomach they come straight back. Could you try a piece of toast with them maybe?
And do you have a close friend or family member you can tell so they could be there for you even if just emotionally? Xx

@MindyMalik sorry your not feeling great. Hoping it passes but don't get annoyed if your not feeling the best it's only normal x

Hello all, just pulling up a seat in the corner 👋. Had a chemical in September so feeling rather cautious.....12dpo

@MindyMalik sorry you are having a rough time.

when I was ttc the pregnacare vitamins used to make me throw up, I swapped to seven seas and was fine, maybe try a brand swap? Also I know it's hard but there is a link between a drop in blood sugar and morning sickness so trying to eat little and often might help with the sickness.

Have you seen a doctor about the uti? They can prescribe antibiotics which are safe for pregnancy.

Hello.I tested yesterday and can’t believe how strong the line is 🤭

Congratulations at all the BFPs I was reading last night that September is the most popular month for births, the 26th being the the day with the most birth on. Those wards will be busy this year with lockdown too.

@MindyMalik sorry you’re having a shit time! Deffo get that UTi checked out, they’re awful. I have to have them right before I eat a large meal, I read that on the leaflet too and had a light bulb moment otherwise I’d vom.

I’m struggling today, I feel mega exhausted, DC1 was up 8 bloody times last night and one of those times was for an hour at 3am sleep consultant meeting tomorrow because I’m just desperate but I need to sleep so bad and I can’t. I feel sick this morning though, weird but I find it reassuring, better try some food though before it turns to actual vomit.

I was wondering if there would be fewer September births this year because no Christmas parties etc. Will be interesting to see!

Morning, tentatively asking if I can join you after a BFP. I had a mc last year and a chemical last month, so not feeling confident, but very hopeful! DD 28/09/21

Congrats to all on this journey!

I am waiting on a call back after I sent my referral let last Thursday but not heard back. Has anyone else? Don't know how long to wait before trying to make contact. I'm about 6 weeks now. Any advice would be great. Thanks all x

Wow - so many pregnancies, congrats everyone!

Is anyone else having zero symptoms? I was quite bloated for a few days but that's gone now and had a few cramps, because it's my first and there's nothing else to do am going to bed at 10ish and up at 7.30 so getting lots of sleep, but no sickness, no metallic taste, nothing. Just doesn't quite feel real yet, and perversely wondering if symptoms will make it sink in a bit more...

@Jen435 I'm not really having many symptoms apart from daily bloat, wind, nipples sore to touch but nothing major and a few cramps (more last week than this week) makes me want to buy another test to check again but should be 6 weeks on Sunday so maybe just see how next week goes. I feel hungry all the time but nothing I'm put off by!
Been invited a virtual night out with work tonight, I was new last June so haven't socialised with them yet going to have to pretend there is gin in my tonic

@Jen435 I've got the metallic taste in my
Mouth, anxiety. Day I feel ok night I wake up shaking, just can't get excited. I dread going bed but if this last few months I'll find it easier then struggling with h/g

Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️ hopefully I can tentatively join you all. BFP last night, early days but all going well due date in September 2021 🤞🏻

thanks @eyeofthetiger8881 and @lilyj13, am sure it's just too early for symptoms but no matter how much you read still just not sure how my body will react/ what to expect. And Lily definitely hard to get excited, I feel for you struggling with anxiety. If it's accessible to you, I would definitely recommend acupuncture - I've found it a really useful tool in the past for anxiety, and know it's great for pregnancy too

Hi everybody! Got my BFP Monday after only 1 month trying (surprise!! We were expecting it to be much trickier as I’m older and been on contraception basically forever), due late September (making me about 4 weeks).
Similar to most I’ve had the sore boobs and also strangely have been feeling sick after eating which is new for me. Could this be caused by the pregnancy?
Also similar to a lot of you, I have been struggling to get excited. I work in healthcare and am very aware of everything that can go wrong and after reading on forums/internet in general, it’s just made me super nervous and feel like I’m waiting for something to go wrong rather than assuming everything will be ok 🙈perhaps it’s just my general pessimistic nature haha

congrats to everyone just joined with BFPs!
@Jen435 -yes on the no symptoms front! think im starting toget sore boobs - but really other than being massively bloated that is it :s (had cramps early on but gone now). ive been waiting for it all to kick in as people say theirs starts at 5, 6, 7 weeks.....but so far, 6.5 and i really dont feel that diff. had a MMC in october and didnt have many symptoms before that, but found exercise really hard really early on - but now, im not having that at all. darent take another pregnancy test as terrified itll be like "not pregnant"

@Jen435 I've just contacted someone and going in on Monday which is exciting, hoping
h/g doesn't kick in between then. I've also booking cupping for a nice treatment

Thank you

Hey girls, I’m 7 weeks +2 estimated 1st September. Had to have two Early scans due to pains and they put me at 25th August and then the second scan put me at 1st September but they did say because I’m so early that it could change slightly and would have a better idea at 12 week scan!
Based on my period I would be 10 weeks today. All abit weird! Congrats everyone ✨❤️Xx

Also I have no symptoms except slightly sore boobs so has me worried constantly😂 x
