Anyone just got their BFP and due in Jan 2022?

[zeromango]

Hi all!

Just got my BFP! Approximately 3 weeks and 6 days. Due date calculator has put me to give birth around 8th January. Feeling so nervous, have had two MCs and then thankfully a much loved DC. Symptoms currently are extremely sore boobs, mild cramping, and upper hip / thigh pain on my right leg! Would love to chat to others who've just found out and want somewhere to refer back to!

@FinnsMammy I just want carbs and salt aaargh. Most fruits, dairy, eggs are turning my stomach completely. Grazing on bread based foods and biscuits most of the day, and sucking boiled sweets to keep the sickness away 🙈

@Missingcoffee22 I’m exactly the same and sucking hard sweets all day! Literally a carb fest for the next 9 months as if I wasn’t bad enough already lol!

Is anyone else exhausted already?!

Hey everyone, hope it’s ok to join here! On Monday my period hadn’t arrived so I did a test - BFP which was very unexpected as DH and I only DTD once at the very end of the month, and I specifically did an OPK to make sure I wasn’t ovulating (was hoping to wait for my second Covid vaccine before TTC).

I’ve attached a pic showing the progression so far, which seems a bit slow? Then again, I don’t know when I actually ovulated which is obviously an important factor 🙈

This would be my second child but I already feel like I’ve forgotten how worrying these early days are!

@Blueeyedgirl21okay, thanks! Still not thrilled about the strength of my positive at 17dpo (see pic) and the fact I have very few symptoms, but trying not to panic. Doc messed up a referral to EPU so still waiting on that. Started on 150mg aspirin and the progesterone though, so at least I've done all I could for now.

@ChisangaFS @Tulipwood @AlphaBetaZeta congratulations!

The sickness 😭😭🤢. Felt so ill all day today and just want to eat carbs and junk food.

Couldn't face cooking so got a chippy tea. I'm going to be huge if this carries on.

I feel exactly the same. Carbs carbs carbs. Sadly my oh doesn't want any takeaways!!

Fingers crossed your referral comes through soon @weathervane123!

Sorry to hear so many of you suffering with nausea and sickness, it’s one thing I’m petrified about so really hoping I can avoid it! Had no symptoms at all with my son and didn’t tell most people until after I started showing a little at 26 weeks. Had to tell my employer as soon as I found out due to the nature of my work though. Luckily I knew he wouldn’t mention anything to anyone!

I have the weirdest taste in my mouth permanently. Sort of sour? Does anyone have the same? It makes everything taste abut strange.

I also can’t stop thinking about cucumbers and strawberries 😂

@FinnsMammy

Girls what’s everyone eating ? The only thing that appeals to me at the moment is sugary cereals and ham and cheese toasties... I literally lived on this during my pregnancy with my son and was hoping I could be healthier this pregnancy but nothing else appeals to me 🙈

I haven't got any cravings or aversions at the moment so trying to eat as healthy as possible. Lots of fibre and leafy greens, protein and loads of water. My appetite has not been the absolute best but I just keep thinking about my little bub and trying as hard as I can to feed he/she the best that I can give. Especially whilst I have no symptoms like sickness, etc

Hi how are we all getting on? 6 weeks tomorrow! Feels like it's taking forever! Struggling with bad nausea at night AND nausea after eating! Boobs are still sore but no cravings yet! Apart from I've taken a massive liking to Ribena it's not a craving but I had some randomly last week and I bloody love it now! Sorry I've barely been on the thread, just so busy with DD and life. Scan went fine, could see a yolk sac and gestational sac which the lady said fit perfectly with my dates (I was 5 weeks roughly) so that was a relief! Just a few more weeks until the private scan! Never had nausea much with my DD, only at 12 weeks plus. I wonder if this means a boy?!

I’m really wanting to book an early private scan for next week but I just know 6 weeks is probably pointless and it makes me feel like I’m jinxing things !! The anxiety is a lot less today but I’ve been having a little bit of hip/groin discomfort, only little tiny twinges and nothing you’d even want to take a paracetamol for (probably wouldn’t even notice if I wasn’t Obsessing!) but it’s making me worry!! It feels muscular to me but what do I know ! @zeromango sounds like you’re doing really well 👌👌👌

I’m enjoying Original Lucozade way too much ! I’ll have no teeth soon 😂

Hello ladies hope I can join you! Had a positive test last weekend, EDD looks like it's 15 January which is the day before my DDs birthday!

@zeromango glad to see you back and that all was well at the scan! I was worried when we hadn't heard back from you. No nausea here yet which is good!

My morning sickness and nausea seems to have gone. So long as I don’t let myself get hungry it’s fine. I’ve just been grazing, I’ve been too tired to cook so my diet has not been great this week. Today I’m just weirdly exhausted I’ve been chilling in bed all day cramping on and off. Although Tuesday I nearly burst into tears because I really wanted a donut and when I got the Sainsbury only the sugar ring donuts were left. I just really wanted a Jam doughnut.

Morning ladies. In 6 ish weeks. Can’t remember the exact day haha feel rough, want to eat carbs and so bloated. Other than that I’m ok.

For the newbies we have a private Facebook group if anyone wants to join. Just let me or @Missingcoffee22 know and I can send the link

@Ralala id like to join the fb group please

@peaches1991 just sent you the link in a private message xxx

@LilmissCa did you do your clearblue? I got a 3+ Which has eased my anxiety a little but still Googling every twinge
I’ve told myself if this doesn’t work out we will go on a holiday drink loads of gin and try again. The lack of control is what’s getting to me! I’m just trying to enjoy each day as it comes

@Ralala could I get the link too, please?

@Blueeyedgirl21
Yay.. I got 3+ too !! Will keep me settled for a while! I keep feeling my boobs to make sure they are still sore lol
I'm so bloated and gassy come late evenings, think it's prenatal vits. Trying to take them in mornings now see if that helps.

@LilmissCa I am bloated too and stomach defo not acting normal, I think it’s the iron in the vits

@Ralala Could I have the link too please? :)

Hello, nervously joining please..got my BFP today but quite faint. All going well EDD would be 21st January
