Due May 22

[maymum94]

Anyone else find out there due in May 22 and want to share our journeys

@Celina94 yeh my cramps are so much better now. I've not had any sickness yet hoping I don't 😅 got my midwife app tomorrow when is yours? Xx

Heard from the midwife team, sit tight and wait for a scan date to come through. Not sure what else I was expecting but it seems a bit nothingy 😂

@haz452 haha enjoy it while it lasts honestly, hopefully you're one of the lucky ones! I had some brown discharge two weeks ago so I had an early ultrasound scan last week where they saw the gestational sac and everything else like hcg was normal, I have another early ultrasound scan next week to confirm that the yolk sac and fetal pole are there as it was too early last week to see. I think my midwife appointment is 28 September which seems a bit late but I'm not sure how it all works as it's my first! Just glad that we have the ball rolling now - can't wait for 12 weeks to be over x

@Celina94 That's good you have had early scans to make sure everything is ok! I think am going to get a private scan about 8 weeks as my scan isn't until am 13 weeks seems ages away! You got any other symptoms? Xx

Yes! If I wasn't having early scans I'd do exactly the same as you. 13 weeks is just wait too long to wait for some resssurance isn't it?

When I first found out I was just extremely tired and had mild nausea which went away. And the past few days I've had the fever and flu like symptoms then the cough. Yesterday the weird sharp twinges began. And today just purely very very strong nausea. Ive thrown up a little but have been trying to hold back since I took my prenatal vitamin this morning :-(

Just gone for a walk now as the suns out and need that vitamin D but goodness do I feel sick!

Is this your first pregnancy too or have you had more? Xxx

@LemonSwan - not now, but when I got pregnant the first time with my son, I thought it would take at least a few months and I could use the time to quit smoking. Instead I got a BFP 4 weeks after coming off the pill.

For me, none of the 'resources' helped, so I cut out 1 more cigarette each day and by 6 weeks I wasn't smoking anymore. I gained a lot of weight, I ate constantly, and chewed relentlessly on pen lids. I continually gave myself a stern talking to that I had to quit no matter what.

It wasn't easy and I cried all the time for those first few weeks over the shame of smoking while pregnant, but as long as I was going in the right direction I was doing good. I also forced my husband to quit, I couldn't do it alone.

Sorry I don't have any magic weapon to make it easier, but I'm here if you want to chat, and take if easy on yourself, you're taking all the right steps and quitting doesn't have to be immediate xx

I haven't had full on nausea yet, but I've been trying something that I've read that is seeming to help. As soon as I get that slightly queasy feeling, I eat a small handful of almond (about 5 or 6 almonds), and that feeling seems to go away mostly. I don't know if this will help with a more severe feeling, but as almonds are good for us anyway (as long as you're not allergic), I figured it was worth a try. I have jars of them next to the bed and on my desk and I take a little bag of them with me when I go out. So far, so good.

Sadly out- try again

Hi all,
I've just found out that I'm 4 weeks pregnant - due 17th May!
My main symptom so far is cramping which I had no idea was a symptom of pregnancy and has caused me some frantic googling sessions!!
Can't wait to share my journey with everybody x

@Celina94 Yeh it will help if I get an early scan as still worried with all the cramps I have had. Yeh it's my first pregnancy but was very shocked to fall as I was on the waiting list for the maternity Clinc xx

@LemonSwan I am/was a light smoker (

@RosettaTheGardenFairy & @TashieWoo

Thanks both, and welldone to you both!

I feel pretty awful about it, I have had two today. Its really stressing me out, and when I am stressed I usually have a cigarette so its all a nightmare really.

3 days ago I was a heavy smoker and heavy caffeine drinker so to go from a million teas and a roll up cigarette around once an hour to nothing is seeming an impossible task.

I think I will need to get the vape and try that. Have managed to go tee total on the caffeine though. Very pleased with that.

I’ve cut down the caffeine but I won’t cut it out completely, plus a reduced amount is allowed and I didn’t have much to start off with.

To be honest the fact you want to give up is the main thing and what will make you give up. Many pregnant women don’t care!

Posting here for comfort more than anything as I just can't get excited at the moment. I'm 12dpo and my tests are still light. I had a very painful miscarriage on boxing Day that started on Xmas Eve at what should have been 7weeks 3 days. Baby had stopped growing at 5 weeks. My tests were all very light then too even up till 18dpo and then got really dark so I relaxed. I'm not sure why they got dark so that added to the cruelty as I'd thought something was wrong till then.

I lost a baby girl last march too. Trisomy 18 among other issues that were not compatible with life. Sorry to be a downer but I had to post because then it may seem real. Isn't help but think it will all end badly but I want to try and relax.

I'm going to do the whole booking in thing with the midwife today so I'm in the system and maybe get an early EPU scan for in a few weeks. If this sticks and baby is healthy I will be Due on May 18th ❤️❤️

@Balajake wishing you all the luck!

I'm having a wobble today I done another clear blue digi expecting a 3+ but its still only 2-3 due date on LMP is 5th May so hopefully I just ovulated later and will get it soon any advice or should I just stop testing and hope for the best? my chemical pregnancy last month has turned me into a crazy tester!

I'd say stop testing but that's easier said than done. I did a digital yesterday and it said not pregnant but I got a line on the frer still. They are clear lines but not getting darker from my Sunday one.

I will test again tomorrow and hope it doesn't get lighter

@Celina94 fertility clinic that meant to say xx

Welcome anyone new and congratulations how's everyone doing today?

Me still so sick but all I can think is I have my first scan next week so getting excited for Monday.

Good Afternoon,

Hope everyone is well! I will be 7 weeks on Thursday and I have been so ill since Friday.. and now I'm sat here and I feel absolutely fine... I don't know how I should feel about that? 😭😭 has anyone else had this ?

Hi everyone, I'm 5 weeks today! Going to be an 11 year gap between my first and this one! So excited but also incredibly apprehensive too. Wishing you guys all the luck and sticky babies in world ❤️

This happened me, I was so sick for days on end, then I had two quite good days where I didn't really feel bad at all. Like you I worried that this wasn't a good sign. However my sickness soon came back and has been here since. I would say it can just come and go and enjoy the times without it :) I am usually quite sick until the evening time and then I feel normal until the next morning where it all starts again.

@Expecttheunexpected2022

Ahhh! Was just sitting here like why didn't I feel sick? Been being sick everyday since Friday and then I was like why's it stopped?! So o started to worry then but Iv had no bleeding or pain so 🤞🏼🤞🏼 thank god. Never thought I would be missing being sick 😷 xx

Morning :) have finally had chance to read through all the posts as I have complete insomnia- not sure if anyone else has this symptom (4+3 for me today)

@maymum94 thank you for making this group will be amazing to share journeys and have people to talk to. Congratulations

@Skl2021 @ninadust @lawandgin @Expecttheunexpected2022 that’s amazing congratulations it has taken us 12 cycles sometimes feels a lifetime doesn’t it! My sense of smell is defo starting to become heightened too

Hey @Hope91 I seem to wake up at 3am and can’t get back to sleep which is madness cause I’m exhausted and moving house this week. I really need to pack!

I don’t think my bad pain is helping. What are the guidelines on massage this early on? (5w1d) cause I would love a massage to help with the pain and destress once we’ve moved but don’t want to risk anything!

^Back pain 😂
