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!

@Timeandtidal a) fine b) comes in waves but no throwing up yet and c) please someone scrape me off the floor....

Katiekattty · 07/05/2021 20:23

@Timeandtidal bow that you mention it yes it feels like Monday after Glastonbury and I usually go straight to work when I get back. Today I had a 3 hour nap.

Timeandtidal · 07/05/2021 20:36

@Missingcoffee22 and @Katiekattty Not just me then! I'm be asleep by 9pm. I am waking up without an alarm so that's a bonus.

Timeandtidal · 07/05/2021 20:36

I'll

Katiekattty · 07/05/2021 20:42

Oh I forgot to add I’ve had morning sickness everyday except the last two days. Just nausea and heartburn now. And my boobs are really sensitive and slightly painful since the week af was due until now. Also think I need to increase my fibre. Whyyyy am I getting everything😫😫😫😫?

Couldn't have said it better myself 😂😂
Timeandtidal · 07/05/2021 20:56

@Katiekattty oh the full works. Sounds hard going. I am same with needing more fibre BTW!

Symptoms are good signs, I just need to remind myself of this sometimes. 😊

Missingcoffee22 · 07/05/2021 20:57

@Timeandtidal I'm asleep on the couch every night. My toddler was a 5am alarm this morning.. luckily I managed to convince her it was still nighttime..!

Firsttry132 · 07/05/2021 21:03

@Timeandtidal a) actual boobs aren’t sore but my nipples feel like I’ve hugged a cheese grater 🥴 b) I have quite bad nausea in the morning, I was gagging in the car driving to work this morning however no actual sickness. c) I’ve fell asleep at 8 the past few nights😂 xx

willithappen · 07/05/2021 21:05

I'm 5 weeks and not a whole lot of symptoms. I feel tired but then I usually always do and been starting work at 5am so think that is the cause
Yesterday I had quite sore boobs but was wearing a bralette, not as bad today but have went for a more supportive bra. Nipples are quite large 😅
Other than that I don't feel a whole lot so it's hard to still think I'm pregnant and sometimes feel I'm making it up!

Timeandtidal · 08/05/2021 07:05

@willithappen Oh my, yes supportive underwear only! Also, 5am starts, no wonder you're tired. Hope you get some lie-ins over weekend.

@Firsttry132 aw yes I'm the same falling asleep on sofa. Its like full mental and physical wipe out. I really hope the nipple pain settles down soon.

@Missingcoffee22 5 am is still night! 😴😂

Howiesgirl · 08/05/2021 12:17

No boob or nipple symptoms... other than bigger but im on IVF meds and my boobs started getting bigger on them way before transfer.

No nausea...

Feel a bit tired but I've been waking up at about 0530 most mornings (don't know why I don't have to get up for work until 0620 on an early shift, managing to still work my lates till 2300 but I guess keeping busy keeps you awake?!

Bit worried I have no symptoms! Unless waking up at 0530 counts!? Im 5+2.

Katiekattty · 08/05/2021 12:32

@Howiesgirl weirdly I get up really early these days no idea why

Timeandtidal · 08/05/2021 13:52

@Howiesgirl and @Katiekattty me too, waking up earlier than usual. I think this counts!

Howiesgirl · 08/05/2021 14:29

Maybe the lack of caffeine means we're all falling asleep earlier/sleeping better... so waking earlier??

Timeandtidal · 08/05/2021 14:48

Potentially, yes! Although, I did give up most caffeine when TTCing... now I'm one cup of tea in the morning only. Might get some decaf coffee but I know it still contains some caffeine so will be careful.
My current paranoia is I have no nausea. I probably should be glad of this! 🙈

Clarkey86 · 08/05/2021 15:49

I’m still having a mug of Nespresso in the morning, I think it still comes pretty far under the caffeine daily limit though

Missingcoffee22 · 08/05/2021 16:07

@Clarkey86 I have a cup of coffee every morning

Timeandtidal · 08/05/2021 16:38

Right so its totally fine for me swap the morning tea for coffee then! 🙏🙏

Katiekattty · 08/05/2021 16:39

That might be a thing for me. I have one cup of coffee and then decaf tea or coffee during the tea. I miss my several cups of coffee a day.

Ralala · 08/05/2021 17:54

Ralala · 08/05/2021 17:55

On the coffee.... I have one real coffee first thing them I’m on decaf. The best decaf I have found so far is Morrison’s own brand! Pleasantly surprised!
