First baby due September 2021

[beckyBP]

Hey ladies,

Just thought it might be a nice idea for any of us first time mums just finding out to have a thread to chat on.

I found out Monday and am now 4+4.

Yep I'm also having some crazy bloating and gassy sorry !! Please let me know how the early scans go, I haven't booked one yet but I am tempted!

Lol so attractive aren't we! It's strange how you analyse every cramp and twinge, hopefully good signs something good is going on in there

@nommychompers how are you? How is the spotting now? Hope you're okay!

@bigsweetpotato try not to panic, pink or brown is usually nothing to worry about, can just be a little blood vessel or cervical irritation- have you had sex or an internal exam? Just take it easy but if you're really worried see if you can get seen by your local early pregnancy unit xxxxx

Hi everyone,
Can I join in? I’m due early -mid September (I think! Dates aren’t clear yet because I stopped tracking for a couple of months). This is my second baby and we have been trying for 13 months to conceive. First time round, we were really lucky and conceived our daughter in the first month of trying. In that pregnancy, I suffered from a lot of sickness from 7weeks until 37 weeks 😳 so I’m really hoping I don’t have it so bad this time round!
Hope everyone is feeling well this morning!

@Josie465 congratulations! We were in 14 months with a mc in June last year, its another kind of torture isnt it just waiting 😫 how are you feeling?

Does anyone else feel permanently hungover? I have a constant churning stomach and just feel 'off

Yes @unicornpower, I feel groggy and 'off' with that churning feeling in my stomach...

@bigsweetpotato if it was me I would call your local maternity centre to explain what’s happened and then can give you some piece of mind or suggestions of what they might want to do x

Sorry in advance for TMI but suddenly my wee smells so strong but not of wee. I can't really describe the smell but it is almost familiar.

Haven't eaten or drunk anything unusual and even when the wee isn't strong, how can it be when we go so often the smell is.

I don't think I smell, there is no discharge or other symptoms.

Anyone else? Is this usual?

My first pregnancy.

Hey @Bubbles1st
I think it’s pretty common in early pregnancy as the HCG hormone in urine can make it have a different smell than what it would normally be.

:) x

Hey! I’d like to join this thread :-) I found out yesterday that I’m pregnant, looks like I’ll be due 29th September. It’s my first pregnancy and it happened so quickly, I went through shock, happiness and now shock again today!! Hope everyone is feeling good! X x

Thanks guys @CherylLW @unicornpower
@NommyChompers
no it didn't seem that much and It was just for the morning yesterday and it's now completely stopped so I have assumed it's ok. I did have an upset tummy the night before so it could have been as a result of straining (lovely!)...... No pain so trying not to panic! xxx

Congrats @BabyVadera!

How's everyone feeling today? I'm getting waves of nausea and I'm only 5+3. It keeps coming and going but it's really hard to work through. Anyone else experiencing this at this stage? I'm also so gassy I could fly a kite! 😃

Lol the gas is unreal and the cramps that go with it...and my sore boobs which were already massive Got first scan date today for 11th march, hopefully wont be long going in!

Yes I'm having lots of wind which is going down well with my fella, apparently it's too early to blame the baby

I have my first antenatal appointment at the end of February. I think I'm about 4/5 weeks pregnant. I've no symptoms yet. Everyone is complaining of being gassy and here I am farting and burping constantly all the time even when I'm not pregnant

@mrandmrslobster me too if I'm
Honest but they seem a bit more wicked for me than usual 🤣

@Bubbles1st

Your username checks out then

@mrandmrslobster indeed it does !!

@Mamamccarts my boobs feel like too big potato sacks and they're oh so veiny!

@Bubbles1st @mrandmrslobster if in doubt blame the baby! All that gas though! Can't lie, I do enjoy burping though. Disgusting I know haha

Do you ladies feel like time is dragging? I just want to get to 12 weeks!

Hey ladies,
I think this is such a lovely idea and a chance for us all to relate to each other
I found out last week we are expecting our first, I’m currently 5+2 very early days. Did anybody else experience implantation bleeding? My boobs were so heavy and I woke up one morning and just felt pregnant (as strange as that sounds) and then got my BFP

Hi @Babynum1, I didn't get implantation bleeding but did get the feeling that I was pregnant!

Congratulations!

@AdventuresAwait it’s really bizarre isn’t it?! Have you had any other symptoms? Congratulations to you too! X

@Babynum1 congratulations! Im 5+1 so not too far behind you- I had what I think was implantation bleeding and it was on and off for about a week, it was only when I wiped and was a browny colour but it did worry me a bit haha

My tummy felt quite weird like there was alot of activity going on haha I found out like a week ago and i sort of wish I hadn't as its dragging sooooo much! Have you been trying long? X

I didn't have any initial symptoms. Only took a test because AF was 9 days late.

As soon as I tested I had full tummy ache abs bloating for a couple of days which I think was somewhat psychological. However sore boobs for the last week

I think the main symptoms I have are lots of weeing and a weird appetite at the minute.

@Babynum1 congrats! I'm also 5+2 or 5+3! When's your due date? Would be great to compare symptoms! The super sore boobs and heart racing were what made me think something was up and that there was a teeny tiny chance I was pregnant.

In retrospect, I did have the tiniest of implantation bleeding but it was more like spotting so I didn't even realise what it was until I checked the dates back.
