🤰🏾Due May 2022🤰🏾

[BlueMediterranean]

Hi all!

I just find out I'm 4 weeks pregnant! Last period was 28/07/2021

We were trying for nearly 2 years (stopped few months at the beginning the pandemic) and we were doing some test to hopefully join the waiting list for IVF. They said my partner's sperm was too slow.

I didn't see any post regarding due date May.
I called today my GP and they said to choose a hospital and send a referal.

Hey ladies, anyone else really struggling 1st trimester? I have terrible 24:7 nausea and can’t stomach anything, I’ve gone off of ALL foods. And have to force myself to eat ginger biscuits, as even those make me sick. Don’t even get me started on my heightened sense of smell - even nice smells make me sick! Including my poor OH aftershave 🤮

This is my 2nd pregnancy and I’m definitely struggling a lot more this time round. X

@LeeRainbow aww thats lovely news so happy for you!! I'm measuring 2 days apart from you due on the 11th and dating scan on the 21st! Very exciting were almost at the end of this trimester!! I am feeling horrendous everything makes me feel ill or nauseous! I can't eat anything even threw up McDonald's!! Can't drink anything as that makes me nauseous too and occasionally sick and I'm so unbearably tired I've had to call in sick today! But my midwife put mild sickness and nausea on my booking in notes even though I'm really struggling 🙄 only a few weeks to go now!

@Mellymopx I feel for you im going through the same thing aswell! Had no sickness with my little girl but I'm struggling so much with this pregnancy! Maybe that means I'm having a boy this time! I have no suggestions as my midwife didn't give me any but just keep taking your prenatals and keep down whatever you can when you can! I find at 11am I can eat more than any other time so hopefully can find your time good luck and my thoughts go out to you! Xx

Hi ladies, has anyone else had any twinges/aches next to their hip? Baby is on my right side and that's where they are, due to the amount of growing they do between weeks 8 and 12 I presume little bean is just stretching my cervix haha, no cramps or spotting so not too worried just thought I'd see if it was something everyone experiences haha

I’ve just requested to join the group, I’m 10w 5d and due on the 2nd May. This is my first pregnancy.

I had a lovely private scan at 7+4 but don’t have my NHS scan until 13+1 so I’m very nervous. I’m worried about silent miscarriage as my symptoms are on and off, but I haven’t had any cramping or bleeding either. Also worried about something being wrong with the baby as I am 33 and DP is 40… despite all this I am trying to stay positive but the scan can’t come soon enough!

Hi ladies,

I’ve just requested to join the group too. Due end of May 2022 but it will probably come earlier in May as had my first at 37 weeks.

Suffering with HG, on ondansetron and metaclopramide to help the sickness.

I think twinges are normal MissM94 just a sign of the pelvic ligaments and womb itself stretching and expanding. My midwife said it’s normal to feel cramps especially when you move, something to do with the hormone relaxin which helps the ligaments and muscles loosen up?

I went to a party last night (obviously was on britvic all night) & witnessed a someone I know but not close to drink a bottle of red wine and smoke and it's made me irrationally angry. She's 14 weeks. My boyfriend said I need to not let other people's actions make me angry but I'm finding it really hard.. I'm 9 weeks pregnant, had a scan at 8 weeks all was good so have to wait a few weeks for my 12 week scan but if there is a single thing wrong with my child at that scan I'm going to lose my absolute shit knowing her pregnancy can continue and she's treating it like that. Her boyfriend bought the bottle of wine for her may I just add 🤷🏼‍♀️ fucking ridiculous

@MissM94 I would feel exactly the same - disgusting and irresponsible behaviour. I wouldn’t wish any harm to her baby but I’d think it unfair if there was anything wrong with mine, I know people who have been similarly uncaring during their pregnancies. I’m sure you wouldn’t have been the only person at the party thinking that.

@TashieWoo it's just horrendous isn't it, I don't know why these people choose to be mothers, it's so sad.. I can only hope she'll be a better parent when her child's here than she is while it's inside her. Horrible cow

I trust you ladies with your honesty and I cba to make a thread and have people jump down my throat and call me an awful daughter but can you please tell me if I'm being unreasonable?! My mum, as lovely as she is has been a bit OTT since telling her I'm pregnant, I get it she's excited but there's been pressure off her since before even trying to conceive! She's always commented to me and DP that we're rubbish cos she's got no grandkids and we're selfish (she was joking, sort of) so I waited until I was 8 weeks to tell her with a scan picture etc, this was not even 2 weeks ago. Told her on the Sunday, went round on the Tuesday to tell my dad and she had got me a mum to be balloon, a love heart balloon, some flowers, a little teddy, 2 baby grows & put £100 in a card for the "pram deposit" I was so grateful and appreciated it, but I go round the week after and she's got something else and a baby book for DP, again appreciated it and had a laugh about the baby book but after buying that first lot she said herself she's not buying anything else until after 12 weeks, then she bought this stuff then today she messaged me with a print she's had made with mummy daddy and baby (babies last name) and it's really overwhelmed me. I basically said it's lovely but stop buying things, it's overwhelming and stuff I'm going to have to see daily if something was to be wrong before 12 weeks. She's known about the pregnancy for not even 2 weeks and I've been given so much already and I can appreciate she is excited but as soon as I said that she's been horrendous..
"Fine give it me all back and I won't get involved.. may be you made a mistake telling me.. and cancel meeting (friend) tomorrow. You have been funny for months to me so I will leave you to it... got all the important people I'm just a nuisance..." was her immediate response

Been funny for months was before she knew I was pregnant and she would have me do 10 different jobs when I would go to her house after work, a 6-2 shift absolutely shattered and I would say no or that I'm too tired and cos her smoking in every room in the house would make me sick or the fact she has a fucking chicken free range in the fucking house shitting everywhere 🤔 but I've been funny for months? I won't get involved though. Wtf does that even mean 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sorry for the rant, please let me know if I've been out of order cos she has a habit of making me feel bad but I think I deserve an apology, she's really stressed me out speaking to me like that and it was literally half an hour before my first midwife appointment which is nice of her 😂

Hoping to join this group. First post here. I am currently pregnant with baby number 2. My DS is 6yo. I have my "12 week" scan tomorrow (although my dates put me at 12 + 5) and feeling a little nervous. Have been feeling rubbish since about 6 weeks, food is hard work and can't get myself hydrated enough. Hoping to start telling family at the weekend, incl. DS, if all goes well with the scan.

A rainbow after the storm, our little wriggler due 9th May 2022

@MissM94

The relationship between you and MIL sounds toxic… would probably avoid for the time being until things calm down… having had quite a few losses myself I can understand your apprehension and reluctance to celebrate. Best of luck

Ah mum not MIL sorry @MissM94

Can I join? I’m due may 15th and had to retire my jeans at the weekend, feeling like I’m huge but only gained 2lb, is anyone else getting a pot belly?

@Spoonmoon welcome. Yes bloated all the time!

Glad it’s not just me! How far are you? I’m 11+3 😁

@Spoonmoon I’m only 10+1 got another scan Friday, first scan @ 7+5 was perfect. It’s my 7th pregnancy via assisted fertility methods with no current Earth side babies. How about you?

2nd pregnancy, 1st baby. I found out I was pregnant on the day I had my final nurse apt pre IVF, they had started treating me for an under active thyroid and this cured the infertility it would seem.
Had a scan at 8+3 and all well, awaiting my next scan at 12+5 😁
Exciting news about the scan!

@spoonmoon how lovely and exciting!!! I know, lovely heart beat and measuring perfect but after our last second trimester loss it wont feel real until arrival day then I’m still not sure! Lol

Huge congrats to you

So sorry to hear about your loss, I hope you are managing to relax and enjoy this pregnancy a little bit? Excellent news about everything looking good at the last scan, update on Friday if you feel up to it, I will have everything crossed for a lovely Lear picture for you! X

@Spoonmoon Thank you I think I feel a bit numb to it like it’s not happening but I think that’s normal… yes everything crossed for Friday… I’m always a bit of a mess before scans - the trauma from last time kicks in but I will update. Then it’s not long till your scan either!! x

Thank you @RainbowTime I had a couple of weeks distance from her, she still doesn't seem to understand it and keeps saying "if I'm allowed" "when you shouted at me" "when you was being a bitch" so as much as I want to scream at her it's not good for me and baby so I'm just keeping my distance!

So had a scary dream last night! I was at my 12 week scan and the sonographer took the most horrendous pictures, my child was terrifying 😂 but i remember looking at them and instantly thinking the baby was a boy & then I had another part of the dream where they were a three month old baby boy and I was taking him into work! I've always really wanted a girl but now I'm thinking I really want a boy haha do you reckon my dream intuition is right? 🤔 has anyone else had any dreams like that? My first vivid one tbh!

@Spoonmoon fab day! Measuring 11+1weeks and only 10+3! Very active tiny person in there waving around. Best of luck with your scan! Maybe update too if you feel like it
