There’s already a March thread but everyone seems so far along already with people
Due at the beginning of March.

I’ve estimated I’m due around 29th of March so thought I’d make a thread for that! Anyone else?
Ive just come back from holiday, I took the tests the first day we got there to check if it could enjoy a cocktail or two.. ended up with mocktails instead! Grin

How are we feeling? Any symptoms yet?

Hey Smile

I am 5wks today! Only found out I was pregnant at the beginning of this week. I've had really sore breasts and very light cramping which has gone now, almost like period cramping but not as bad! I have been absolutely shattered this week, even though I have been sleeping well during the nights!

How about you? How are you feeling?

This is my first so all very new Smile

Hey ladies! I'd love to hop on this train too if that's okay? Im due on 23rd March roughly. I've known about a week now but only called my GP today Confused I've had super sore boobs since the day before I found out to the point where I now wear a bra to bed because I can't let them hang free anymore. I get period like cramping all the time and super freaking exhausted constantly. This will be my first baby, second pregnancy though.
Anyone planning to book an early scan?

MyMabel · 16/07/2021 16:04

I almost thought about booking an early scan. But I think it’s only really worth it if you’re worried from about 6 weeks to see a heartbeat, or from 10 if you actually want to see anything that look mildly like a baby. I had a scan at 7 weeks last time and it was just a splodge of white šŸ˜‚ so can’t bring myself to pay £££ at 10 weeks, might aswell wait a fortnight for the NHS scan.

No symptoms at all here, I’m sure my boobs got sore a good few weeks in last time but didn’t last very long either. Has some funny pulling/punching feelings and a few crampy moments.

Like you both I am absolutely exhausted at the moment; but I’m getting terrible sleep at night. I’ve got such bad insomnia. Then my toddler won’t let me sleep during the day šŸ˜‚ hoping it levels off in a couple weeks!

Yeah same, thought about a 7 week scan but have decided not to. I am phoning my GP on Monday as it's the first day since finding out I'll have time to go!

Shad0w · 17/07/2021 00:06

Do you mind me asking your ages? I am 33 Smile

MyMabel · 17/07/2021 04:52

I am 25 Smile

I rang the midwife centre today, spoke to the midwife I had last time and she remembered me. As did her student midwife too which was nice.
My DD was born 4lbs 13oz (IUGR) so she said I’ll be referred this time and will need extra growth scans throughout. I’m a lot more nervous this time as I’ve never laboured as I had to have a c-section. I’m hoping for a VBAC!

Hi. Congratulations everyone. I just got my bfp this morning. I had a miscarriage in December and March so really nervous. Hopefully this one will stick.

spookycookies · 17/07/2021 05:46

With regards to scans I'm not sure. I had a scan at 6 and 8 weeks last pregnancy. Strong heartbeat and then all over by 9weeks. Also had a 6 week scan in December again saw a hb all over two days later. They were all nhs ones.

BellatrixK · 17/07/2021 08:03

Hello everyone. I’ve just joined! I got my BFP this morning. I am 32 and this will be our first!
I am 2 days late, but only have quite a faint line on a FRER test… but I have felt mildly sick, heartburn etc which I’m hoping is a good sign!

bekaf · 17/07/2021 08:48

29, due mid March

I decided to have the 7/8 week scan just because I've had previous gynaecological issues and want to make sure that it's implanted in the right place (and that there's only one!)

Tedell27 · 17/07/2021 09:17

Hi! I found out last Saturday so due roughly 23rd March. Felt sick most days this week and just so tired!! Also had some mild cramps. So excited but also so anxious.

L00byL0u · 17/07/2021 10:18

@spookycookies so sorry to hear that.

Wishing you all the best for this pregnancy Thanks

MyMabel · 17/07/2021 18:28

Ahhh congratulations on everyone getting their BFP!

Have we any cravings yet? - I’ve just opened a tin of black olives and the saltiness has sent me on a frenzy and now I’m picking at them and a bag of pretzels! Perhaps a salty craving? Maybe just me being greedy..

Hi,
Just found out last night but had already suspected I was due to needing to wee like a crazy women!
I’m 5 weeks, I’m not sure when I ovulated so have no idea on due date, but assuming end of March sometime lol!
I had a early miscarriage in December 19 and been trying ever since, this is the first month when I had literally given up, so it’s definitely a shock!

I have slight cramping and sore boobs. Hope everyone else is ok xx

spookycookies · 17/07/2021 18:39

@Eden1990 sorry for your loss. Hope this pregnancy goes well for you.

I'm craving coleslaw like there is no tomorrow šŸ˜‚ I'm not usually a massive fan of it either but I've eating it from the tub this past week
Shad0w · 17/07/2021 19:53

No cravings here.. but I'm always hungry for anything this week! GrinGrin

heywhatswrongwitu · 17/07/2021 19:53

Hi, I found out I'm pregnant this morning after a 2WW from IVF - due end of March. I already have a 2 year old (through IVF), and feeling excited but apprehensive like some PPs as it's sooooo early!
I'll probably have a 6/7 week scan at the fertility clinic. I started feeling awful last time at about 6 weeks... so far just tired and weeing for Britain

@heywhatswrongwitu congrats! 🄳

L00byL0u · 17/07/2021 20:04

@Eden1990 normally due date is counted from the first day of your last menstrual period if you've recently had a period that is.

L00byL0u · 17/07/2021 20:04

@Shad0w congrats

BellatrixK · 17/07/2021 20:32

Congratulations everyone!
I feel so nervous and excited today, can’t wait for so many things.

MyMabel · 18/07/2021 07:23

I’m so hormonal now, could’ve murdered DP this morning as he got on the shower with no warning when I was dying for a wee! (We don’t tend to disturb each other in the shower.. not can he hear me when I have had to shout him)
