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 all, please can I join 😊 I got my BFP a few days ago and am 4+2. Think I will be due around 15th Nov. I’ve had metallic taste for the last few days and sometimes cramps. This will be my first baby so don’t know what to expect but very excited 😊

[quote lara1992]@DizSquiz congratulations to you to! Just taken another two tests still in disbelief[/quote]
I’ve been doing that too! I’ve taken a test every day since I got my BFP 🤦‍♂️

Hi! Congratulations! I think our dates are nearly the same, that’s exciting! It’s my first baby too. I’ve been having mild cramps but nothing else. So hard to believe. I’m hoping to book an early scan in a few weeks 😊

Hi everyone  - just got my BFP last night so predicted due date is around 16 Nov. I think I must have ovulated early because my period is not due until Sunday.

It will be my second, my first child turns 2 in June!

@squidlady I definitely think there’s a correlation between bad period pain and pregnant cramps! I’ve always had short 2-3 day periods but my god the worst pain ever, so bad sometimes im bent over double all day! I definitely keep getting weird cramp type twinges I would say not constant but maybe every couple of hours?!

I’ve also heard ginger is good for nausea

@GSMCK hope you get a better night sleep without the dog stealing your covers 🙈

@RandomlySelectedUsername congrats to you too! Yes I keep getting twinges now and again and I am trying not to worry 🙈 I done another pregnancy test today the Clearblue date test which said 2-3 weeks so that’s reassuring. Can’t stop looking at it, haha! Wonder when the symptoms start to really kick in!

Hi all,
Took a teat Monday and behold, a second line. pretty shocked! 37 with a ds7.
I have no idea my date really as I can't remember my last period exactky, except that it was prob feb. So I'm down for mid Nov if seashell (yes, I have named it already) sticks around.

When will you guys self refer to check in appt?
I'm on citalopram and don't want to come off it.

Symptoms so far are twinges, sore blogs and INSOMNIA.

Welcome a, you’re in good company with the insomnia on this group!

I’ve self-referred already and gotten a raft of letters re appointments, tests etc, but I think the approach varies area to area.

Thanks. I think you're a few weeks ahead, I want to wait mostly for superstitious reasons after last pregnancy which was mmc.

@Aisforharlot congratulations 🎉 I'm about 6 weeks and I've yet to speak to a midwife. I rang the GP surgery when I was about 4 weeks but the receptionist said they won't want to know until you're 7/8 weeks but it must be different for different areas as others have said they got an appointment as soon as they found out 🤷🏽‍♀️

Is anyone suffering with horrible headaches? I've always had an issue with headaches/migraines but with my previous pregnancies that seemed to go away when I got pregnant. This time round I've had a headache almost the whole time 😩

@Kayeyeem I'm in the same boat as you, constant headaches. They haven't reached migraine level for me, but they are awful.

Have you tried the headache/migraine cook patches? I found they helped me.

@sakuramiyagi It's so debilitating isn't it! 😣 Yes those patches are great and the forehead roll on. I've been trying to avoid paracetamol if I can, I know you can take it but I'm trying to only use it when it's horrendous otherwise I'd be taking it everyday! I'm hoping this is just an early pregnancy symptom and it go away soon 🤞🏼 I can't even watch telly tonight 😩

Is everyone else still having sex? We haven't since finding out, I'm too anxious! Would like to though...

No sex for me!! I’m too terrified it’ll make me bleed and miscarry however irrational that is!

Hello! 4+2 here so due 15th Nov. I have 2 boys already. Had 3 miscarriages in between the boys so trying not to think too much about this pregnancy until we reach the 8 week point which is a bit of a milestone for me... Has anyone started a Nov 21 Facebook group yet? I find it hard to keep track of these mumsnet threads especially in those early days when so many people will be joining everyday Nice to meet you all, fingers crossed for us all xx

I haven’t had sex in over 3 years @squidlady! 🤣

Welcome newer ladies! It’s a mad house in here but there’s always someone with the same worries or symptoms as you...

@squidlady yep
No bleeding, all well.

Do forgive me @Sunbird24, that question wasn't very inclusive!

Welcome everyone, lovely to have so many here

😂 Squid it’s ok, it really doesn’t bother me! It wasn’t very good even before that so I don’t miss it. Just as well really eh? 🤭

@squidlady hey! We haven't since finding out as similar to you, too scared at the moment. But as soon as we can we will 😅 I think I'll feel more comfortable about it after 7+ weeks x

Welcome filly! Facebook group - there is one set up by the other Nov 21 group, link below. I suggest anyone who wants to, joins this one rather than creating a second one. A few of us are on there. (I have no idea why there are two Nov 21 groups on MN but but in our defence this one was first! Hopefully come a second thread they'll consolidate.)

squid, we managed it once since finding out. It's not fear of bleeding etc for me that's stopping it, I just feel too unwell/tired really. And on that note, have just woken up from a 2.5 hour nap! Whoops. Lord knows how much I'll manage to sleep tonight then, but I literally couldn't keep my eyes open. The toddler was really confused, DH says, at being awake later than mummy.

Evening 👋
Due 23rd November with my first. I knew I was pregnant just a few DPO but finally got a positive test 8 DPO on the 6th March. I did another test this morning and the line is much much darker this time so I'm feeling much more accepting.

I haven't told anyone yet not even my OH 😲🙈 I didn't know how to do it but now I have a plan for Saturday, so fingers crossed for good weather.

According to my app I'm just 3 weeks 1 day pregnant. I've spoken to my midwife today and she's booked me in for an appointment on 21st April, does that seem a little far away?? I'll be 10 weeks by then, so I'm not sure?? Any advice totally welcome 🌟

@AlackAlasAlackaday thank you! I’ve joined xx
