Party for ladies due in October 2021 🎊🎉

[ChelseaCat]

It’s a little early but thought it would be nice to have a thread for those of us due babies in October.

I’m due DC2 on the 9th (according to online calculator) and only found out yesterday.

Anyone want to join?!

@Katie1109 I’m only 5 weeks today but no symptoms at all either.
Praying for some sickness even though that seems like a crazy thing to do!

I still can’t let myself believe it might actually happen!

Sorry to hear that @brokenheart013 😔 sending you lots of love!

To all saying about lack of symptoms, think I’m similar. Boobs feel quite full and slightly tender sometimes but not overly. Feeling a bit tired but not sure if that’s just from not going to bed early enough 😂 feel like I’m always tired! Got an early reassurance scan next Sunday so just trying to get through until then and praying all is okay!

I'm 5w 3d or thereabouts, cd40, had IB cd26 so that was my tell tale that I might be, tests worry me a bit bc they're still not as dark as control line but def darker than they were! Sore boobs, bit of cramping like af sometimes which I know I had with my dd too, had few days of headaches but seem ok now, so worried all the time, I had a mc last January x

Best wishes and love to those with recent bad news xx

I found out yesterday that I’m 6wks 3days along and am so excited. Have had a history of irregular periods, particularly at stressful times in my life so delighted at being able to conceive. Today I’ve felt a bit more achy, sort of like a stitch in the right side of my waist, it’s not painful just a bit achey and I’m aware of it. Is this usual?

@brokenheart013 I am so so sorry to read your sad news sending you lots of love ❤️

@Optimistic2021 how far along do you think you currently are? I had bleeding for 3 days with my youngest DD I was referred for a scan and thankfully all was well and she was born perfectly healthy. I was told by doctors it was possibly hormones because was around 8 weeks when I would have been due a monthly hoping this is the same for you too.

@SRyellow as I have said above I experienced bleeding for 3 days was a mix between seeing flowing blood and then spotting/just there when wiped and I was sent for an emergency scan a week after the day bleeding started and she was perfectly healthy and is now almost 6 hoping it is the same for you xx

Thank you @Steloubub and @Blessedbutstressed96 that’s reassuring!! The spotting stopped but I ended up at the Drs as woke up with a rash that turned out to be shingles! Apparently it’s a thing for some pregnant women and it’s all ok just need a low dose of antibiotics. I have had 24/7 nausea and was really beginning to think something was wrong so at least that explains things a little! Xx

@SRyellow you definitely did the right thing going to get checked over hope you start to feel better soon xx

@SRyellow aw bless you that’s awful. Hope you feel better soon ! Definitely best thing you got checked over xx

Guys like so many of you I have spent most of my pregnancy so far worrying and symptom spotting. I have very mild symptoms which come and go, and am currently in a horrible 2 week wait to go back to EPU to see if my pregancy is viable.

I felt so low and like all joy and innocence had been taken away from pregnancy for me, despite this being my first baby. I couldn't snap out of it but one thing that helped me change my thinking was this quote:

"Worrying won't stop the bad things from happening, it just takes away the joy from the good things"

It really struck a cord with me and I realized that no matter how much I worry about what is happening in my body, and what my next scan will show, if I've miscarried already, or am going to, no amount of worrying will change that outcome. All it does it take away the nice things atm like spending time with my partner or enjoying food!

I don't mean to sound all spiritual or obnoxious in any way, and I really dont want to downplay how devastating miscarriage must be.

I just hope those words can help ease some worry for a few as it really helped me and after all that is what MN is for! X

Also another user told me " you're pregnant until proven otherwise" which I also found helpful!

@LunaDreams thank you for your post! I needed to read that 💪 x

How is everyone getting along ? I’m 7 weeks and 2 days now. I’ve been crampy since I found out but I’m feeling more tugging now. I’ve really sore boobs but it comes and goes with how sore. My sickness started a few days ago it’s mainly nausea but in the morning I’m really sick and today I ate one bite of my McDonald’s on my tea break and had to run to the toilet😭 hoping with how rubbish I’m feeling it’s all good signs baby is growing away nicely. I did have a scan Wednesday last week and saw babies heartbeat but even once you see you still just worry constant well I do🤭

hiya! due on 05/10 with my first!
Early scan booked for Sunday 14th Feb!

Nausea is so bad. Anyone else??

@LunaDreams I needed to hear this too! I hope you get good news at your repeat scan 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@brokenheart013 I am so so sorry. I am sending you lots of virtual hugs at this awful time xx

@dominiquebkxox I am currently 5+3 and nausea has hit me this week like a ton of bricks. I woke up last night and felt like i could be sick at any second and the hot flushes i was having were unreal. It has settled a little today but only seems to stop when i am eating and then its back. I am also really really tired. The test lines got darker so that was a good sign and i did last week and it was so strong that the control line was barely visible i think this is called a "dye stealer".

I hope the nausea passes for you or at least eases.

When did nausea kick in for everyone?
I’m 5+1 and still nothing

Hi ladies sorry I disappeared for a few days, I’ve been trying to process everything! @crabette can I still DM you my email? ❤️

I’m in a bit of a pickle today. So I told my parents the news last week as I’m very close to them, but I’m torn whether to tell my two bestest friends... I don’t want the news to get out to everyone else until we’re ready after the 12 week scan (I’m 6 weeks now)... But I also feel like I’d like their support in the run up to it? I just wondered if what you girls had decided to do re telling people closest to you? Xx

@Leonberger I am 6 weeks and no nausea yet, just extreme tiredness/demotivation, cramps that come & go and feeling full quickly after meals! Hoping that’s a good sign maybe I’ve escaped the nausea?! 😂 x

@Leonberger I’m 6 + 5 and no nausea yet x just some cramping and mildly sore boobs x

6+1 here have sore boobs but no nausea really the odd wave but then I didn't have it with my DS either....

Thanks everyone! I feel better now.

I had horrendous sickness last time but I can’t remember when it started! I would be over the moon not to have it at all but I think being sick would make it feel more real

Hi, has anyone had pink/brown discharge and it has been ok?

Hi all thought i join this group i think I'm around 5 weeks due 15th October 2021. Hoping everything's okay Its so hard not to worry all the time...

@icecreamsundaesprinkles I haven’t but my close friend had it in her pregnancy and she has a lovely healthy baby now!

@icecreamsundaesprinkles I'm in the same situation. Had a bit of tan spotting today and super stressed. Can't see EPU until 6+ weeks and I'm only 4+5. Just hate the anxiety and uncertainty and waiting ☹️. Hope you're ok.
