Due November 2021 - thread 2!

[AlackAlasAlackaday]

Following on from the first thread which is nearly full, here we are with another thread to keep us going through the first trimester and beyond.

Welcome . I'm Alack, currently 8+something with twins, due 2 November but likely to make an early appearance. Also have DD (3).

Currently on the group we mostly seem to be food-averse insomniacs who just want a nap, so here's hoping for some pregnancy glow! And less anxiety as the weeks go on.

Sorry - been feeling so utterly shite that I've not kept up with the group. I've just requested to join the Facebook group, though.

I'm feeling brave so today may be the day I tell my boss.

@Maya000 last time was horrendous. I've gone back through my old texts to a friend and made a timeline. By 6 weeks I was so sick I had to leave work. I was signed off from 8 and a half weeks until 15 weeks. I could have done with an extra week off but my sick pay ran out.

I was admitted to hospital at 10 weeks due to severe dehydration.

It's not as bad this time, yet...

How is everyone?

Hi all, can I join please? I’m 6+2, 34 and due 17th November. This is DC2, my DD is 4 and also a November baby. I have had a previous m/c so feeling a bit anxious.

Have a lovely cold this week on top of the tiredness and nausea. Hope everyone is doing ok.

@Moth01 my first was born in August so had my mat leave through the winter. It's OK because you can just cosy up for a few months!

Am really worried as have had pale brown discharge am 7 weeks today 😞

Hi everyone, can I join please?

I'm 5+4 and this is my first so I am all new to this and slightly freaking out as I have no idea what to expect or do! Due very end of Nov.

I've had dull stomach pains and quesyness for the last 4 days, but they've stopped today (I gather from the other threads that that's pretty normal... Coming and going etc)? I've also serious gas which is really annoying. Other than that felling pretty OK.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the GPs response.... When I told them they basically just said "oh right, self refer yourself to the midwife and read the NHS website and you'll be fine". That's was it! Feeling a bit abandoned really!

I'm hoping all of you will be able to help! 😊

@DizSquiz I had this yesterday too. Had a look on Google and it says discharge is nothing to worry about. If you are concerned though, it's best to get it checked out.

Is that everyone so far?

I'm not on there!

32 - 14/11/21

@pineapple2021 30 due 24/11/21

Having one of those days today where aside from sore boobs I literally feel my normal self so then of course I'm freaking out!!

Had a little burst of energy so went for a walk and tidied the house and now I feel like I’m going to die.

Sorry, should have said DD is 25/11/2021

@pineapple2021 me too today! Not even sore boobs. Feeling oddly energetic too. Kind of hoping the tiredness hits later just to remind me I'm pregnant

Its great that you've had a scan @dovegreylove and your little bean has a heartbeat how exciting! Sorry for people with spotting or tinged discharge it really is worrying. I poured with red blood and from from 7-17 weeks with my living daughter so doesn't mean negative but always get checked if you need reassurance x

@thetallgirl glad I'm not the only one! Horrid isn't it..... I know I'll feel silly if I then get really sick in a few weeks. Just any cramping has stopped, not tired, not bloated. Nothing! I took a pregnancy test last night too just for some reassurance!!

Late to the party but can I join please? Due 10 November, first pregnancy and terrified and excited in equal measure!

@pineapple2021 I'm also feeling very normal today. Makes me wonder what's going on in there! Keeping everything crossed all is ok and we're just having a moment free of symptoms x

Hi Guys,

I've been watching the thread for a couple of weeks now but too nervous to post :)

This is an unexpected first pregnancy. We weren't far off trying, but it just happened a little earlier than expected! Have been trying to process the shock and get excited for the past couple of weeks. I'm just so scared about literally everything!

I'm 7+1 today. Found out at 5+1. Experienced alot of painful cramping, sore boobs and nausea/light headed from about 5 +1 to 6+1. Since then I've got myself into a carb filled routine and constantly snacking. Touch wood I've just had slight light headed feeling occasionally and sore boobs for the last week.

It's been really nice reading the thread to not feel so alone, so thank you! - have also requested to join the Facebook group.

November2021, 30, due 10th- 14th November? , first pregnancy

Xx

Had my scan today and to everyone else a tiny dot with a heartbeat wouldn’t mean a lot but it made me cry! I’ve never got so far in a pregnancy before so feel like another milestone reached. They put my dates at 5+5 so 4 days back.

Is it bad to book a private scan for two weeks time so my husband can come in with me? This one today was NHS so he wasn’t allowed.

I've not had a single symptom yet but its still early days... I was mega-bloated last night but I have IBS so it's more likely to be that than anything preggo related.

I ordered a pack of 50 pregnancy test strips on amazon today so that should keep me sane til I can have a scan!

Is it bad to book a private scan for two weeks time so my husband can come in with me? This one today was NHS so he wasn’t allowed.

We're probably going to, at the moment my trust is only allowing fathers into the 20 week scan so I think we'll have a private on at 8-10ish weeks.

Feel pretty grotty today, I'm dragging where I'm usually fairly active. I feel like I'm ill by evening - shivery and blah.
Slightly disappointed I haven't heard from midwives for a first appt date. There was a disclaimer on the website saying basicslly, we'll aim to contact you before 10 weeks, don't even think about contacting us

I'll be 7 weeks sunday, or thereabouts
