I don't dare say it out loud yet or celebrate or get excited or anything but I'm 4 weeks pregnant today.

Anyone else out there just had a positive test result and want to keep me company?

@1boo1 Oh my goodness, we have the same due date! My last AF was on the 17th of jan too - had my BFP yesterday.

I've felt the exact same too, so reassuring to read x

1boo1 · 14/02/2021 15:45

Excited to see more with similar dates! It's going to be a busy October isn't it 🤗

@cep24 congratulations on your BFP!! Have you had any other symptoms other than mind cramps and feeling tired?
I had a few dizzy spells last week, usually when I stood up.. And my boobs seem to have grown a lot (usually tiny so very noticeable!) not sore just a lot bigger!
Oh did I mention I'm really really tired 😂 must have told my DH that 27363838364 times this week!

tigertummy · 14/02/2021 15:48

Congratulations everyone!!

@Fawn68 less tired today and still over thinking every little twinge!

@englishgirlinscotland DH knows but other than that I've only told my best friend.

@StopTouchingYourFairyGarden oh wow how exciting!!

@1boo1 I've had the same dizzy when I stand up too fast spells as well!

It's so lovely that we're all due around the same time!!

I'm desperate to tell my mum but think going to wait a couple of weeks first.. Everyone else will be probably around 12 weeks if I can keep it secret that long!

Fawn68 · 14/02/2021 15:51

Congratulations everyone! Yes I've too been having the dizzy spells, especially when standing up. Oh the tiredness lol. Only DH and my mum knows, no one else. Because of previous MC I'm scared so I think I want to keep myself in this bubble for Aslong as I can.

Frezia · 14/02/2021 16:00

Congratulations! I just started week 6. It feels like ages before we can tell anyone...

sneakpeek1414 · 14/02/2021 16:39

Could I join please! I'm 4 weeks today and due 24th Oct by the calculation on my app!

I'm so relieved to read of others having mild cramps too, it's been making me a bit panicky! I'm also extremely bloated, particularly of an evening, and just get the general feeling my period is about to start, it's weird, I keep checking!

Congratulations everyone! Would be good if we can keep in touch to share any weird symptoms that keep appearing! This thread definitely put my mind at ease a bit Smile

Fawn68 · 14/02/2021 17:01

@sneakpeek1414 this is the same as me! Yes we definitely will help support eachother Smile I was very bloated a few days ago but it seems to have passed now, hoping that's not a bad sign though.

1boo1 · 14/02/2021 17:24

So a few of us for the 24th October 😊
That's exciting! Congrats everyone!

Kittysw · 14/02/2021 17:48

Hi all,

I hope it's okie that I join. I got my BFP Thursday and worked out due date would be 25th Oct so 3 Weeks +6 today this is our second month TTC with our first.

I too have been having a few random cramps/twinges and feel almost heavy and bloated so I'm assuming this is normal. Also had some slight back ache as well.

I really cannot wait to tell my close friends and family but I know I should try and wait until the 12 week mark.

Congratulations to everyone it would be lovely if we could go through this journey together with due dates being so close for us all.

tigertummy · 14/02/2021 17:48

I'm desperate to tell my mum but I know she'll worry.

It's so nice to know so many others are feeling the same!

It really does feel like ages until we all have our first scans!

Hi! Congratulations, I am also 4 weeks and absolutely petrified to say it out loud. It’s taken us along time to get here. I’m worried because I don’t feel any period cramps that everyone is talking about? Does anyone know if some people don’t experience them? X

Fawn68 · 14/02/2021 18:25

@Hv903 I've only had the cramps for 3 days now and I am 4+5 today, and not everyone will experience them. And now I only seem to be getting really bloated after I eat!

I am feeling several waves of nausea today!

Andrushy · 14/02/2021 18:27

Hi ladies and congradulations to you all! How lovely and amazing vibes around here:)
I think I am also pregnant unless am going mad :)( test saturday morning said negative but I think its too early).

I will come back with updates. I am allready in heaven! much love to all x ( oh also must say its my second one)

AmyTTC · 14/02/2021 18:32

@Andrushy I'm not far from Guildford! I'm in Chertsey / Staines area. Near Thorpe park Smilex

Andrushy · 14/02/2021 18:42

@AmyTTC lovely maybe we can meet up after the lockdown Smile

Conundrum12345 · 14/02/2021 18:58

I've been feeling nauseous the past week send have had a metalic taste in my mouth. Nearly 4 weeks along!

Just found out today

Congrats on your BFP 😀 welcome to the October 2021 club!
Conundrum12345 · 14/02/2021 19:13

Thank you!!! Looks like I'll be due on the 26th!

englishgirlinscotland · 14/02/2021 20:01

@1boo1 I am SO TIRED. I've been having three hour naps every day, it's so strange. Glad I'm not the only one!

@tigertummy 12 weeks is so far isn't it! I just put a deposit for an early scan at 8 weeks, it'll be just before Mother's Day so if all goes well I'll tell my mum then.

Andrushy · 14/02/2021 20:07

Congratulations @Conundrum12345 ! x

1boo1 · 14/02/2021 20:12

@englishgirlinscotland I really want to nap in the day but when I put my head down I can't my mind races!

Considering booking an early scan.. Need to check a few places prices but seem to be around £70 near me.. Not sure if that's average? I'd feel more comfortable telling my mum if I had one of these as dying to tell her x

sneakpeek1414 · 14/02/2021 20:22

I'm loving the vibes in here! Feel like we're all in this together Smile

I will be booking an early scan at the 8 week mark I think. I had one with DC1 and it made me a lot less anxious! I had the two NHS ones and an extra 4 private throughout 🙊 but I highly recommend!

Anyone else addicted to peeing on sticks? I literally do two a day trying to get any line progression I'm driving myself crazy!!

sneakpeek1414 · 14/02/2021 20:23

@HT1507 I don't remember having the cramps with my first pregnancy to be honest! I think each one is different!

This time they're not painful or anything but definitely there!

tomahto · 14/02/2021 20:31

We have not told anyone IRL and will probably only start telling people after 12 weeks! Not sure how I could wait that long but it's our first and we are cautious.
