Due November 2021 - anyone?

[AlackAlasAlackaday]

Anyone else with veeery early November positives who wants to hop on a thread and keep one another company?

I’ll start - I’m a MN regular posting under a new name. Took a test this morning and got a BFP! I already have DD(3) and last year we sadly lost her sibling to miscarriage - so I’m expecting a nervous nine months ahead. Sorest boobs ever and odd dreams the past few days but otherwise feeling ok (I know it’s very early though!). Oh, and DD gave me a hug yesterday and announced that there was a baby in my belly 🤦‍♀️

How are others getting on?

Hi everyone 👋 Can I join?

I got my BFP on Sunday at 9dpo and then took digital today that says 1-2 so I think I’m about 4 weeks, I think that puts my due date around November 17th 🤷‍♀️ This is my first, terrified to believe any of it yet! Still feels surreal and too early.

Hey @RandomlySelectedUsername, welcome! You’re joining a lovely if rather sleep-deprived bunch here .

Hi
All very new to this. Due date of 4th November. Slightly worried as I’ve had a small amount of brown discharge for the last five days. Can’t help but worry. Looking forwarded to reading everyone’s experiences 😊

I'm 6+1 getting mild period like cramps past few days is this normal? They aren't constant x

I'm 6 +1 to and have had some cramps they seemed quite strong 2 days ago hoping it's just things stretching or stomach pain rather than anything bad

@Eoglove are your periods normally regular? Do you know when in your cycle you normally ovulate? Sperm can live in the body a few days so might have become pregnant a bit later than expected?

@TTCBaby1 I've also been having some cramps. Are yours continuous or on and off? I had on and off ones last time too and it was a successful pregnancy.

@KitKat467 I've been having some discharge like that too. Mumsnet seems to suggest it's usually normal but it's scary isn't it?

@LikeSomeKindOfMadness yes, each morning I think it’s going to stop, but nope, not yet. GP didn’t seem concerned so will wait and see!

Yes mine only started on the weekend and is only on and off too. It's good to know your GP isn't worried!

@LikeSomeKindOfMadness - before having my little girl they were very irregular but then they were a little more regular after having her. But had a mc in July (baby 10 weeks) & another in November (missed miscarriage at 11 weeks) - so maybe my cycles are just all over the place!

My cramps feel worse today and yesterday as well, especially today, had on and off for about 10 mins earlier today and started up again now, it’s not painful but it’s enough to notice it and sort of divert my thought from what I’m doing. Hopefully it’s like you say and just stretching for the baby, I am probably 5 weeks 4 days minimum now so if there’s a sac and yolk sac maybe it’s normal for some pulling and cramping.

Who knew early pregnancy was so bloody stressful!!!

@Nov21 Mine have been worse today too! They ARE quite bad when they come, more of a pain than a cramp really... they only last about 10-20 seconds though. Sometimes they're on the right side in the ovary area! Getting a bit worried, I'm edging into ectopic googling...

Can you get an early scan? Contact your GP and they can refer you

I know mines not ectopic as I had a scan done but I’m worried I’m going to miscarry again as last pregnancy had cramping which then turned into bleeding

@KitKat467 I’ve also had very light brown discharge and it was on and off, sometimes felt like I peed a little. But seems to have been ok past couple of days. I think as long as it doesn’t get darker/blood or gets heavier, can be quite normal (from what I’ve read anyway). I also found mine happened sometimes after a longer than normal walk. X

@RandomlySelectedUsername welcome and congratulations! This is my first too. 🙂 xx

@Nov21 I've got a private one booked for 8 weeks, keeping everything crossed...

Posted before I finished!

Similar to @nov21 not enough to be painful but enough to notice them and my train of though go there!

@squidlady How are you feeling this evening? Still pain on one side? Xx

Oh thought I had posted my previous message but I have must have previewed! Oh I’m so tired 🙈

@RandomlySelectedUsername Hi and welcome - congratulations too!

@Eoglove I am similar to you, 22nd Jan last period , OV around 13th based on Flo (but not accurate as I wasn’t tracking this was unplanned) and must have conceived around that weekend as we only had sex 13th Feb in Feb as I remember it being Valentine’s Day and making an effort as I’ve been so so busy Working I’ve had no energy otherwise! So I think I am only around 5 ish weeks :)

Oh my god so you know what, this is really embarrassing but I think maybe I just... needed a poo?! Hadn't been for like two days due to preggo constipation, just went and pain now gone! 😳

@Jax27 good to know I’m not the only one. Glad your symptoms are improving!

Squid 🤭🤣

@Strawberry0998 - I’m not even sure how long my cycle would be.. these early days are just the hardest!! Hope your feeling positive!
I’m just concerned with these clear blue digitalis 😬 I should really be getting 2-3 or 3+ at this stage! Scared to take anymore.. as they send my brain into overdrive!!

Congratulations to all those that have just joined. I have been getting the period like cramps, dull heavy aches in my thighs on off for about 2 weeks now aswell. Apparently it is common and nothing to worry about unless it is accompanied with bleeding. But, with my previous (successful) pregnancy, I had cramps and bright red bleeding at 7 weeks and my gynae said it's normal?! So god knows I guess no two pregnancies are the same

I’m early for 4am club 🤦‍♀️

Me too 🤦🏼‍♀️

Maybe we need to start a 3 am club as well Dani! 🤭

I’m going to have a good go at getting back to sleep, fingers crossed...
