Hey I'm only 10dpo but just got a faint positive 2 days ago and has been getting darker so hoping this is real. I calculated and I'm due June 1/2nd.

Anyone else due the same time as me? Want to hang out and keep me company I know it's early days.

Just booked an 8 week scan for the 29th 😬🤞

Clomid1 · 07/10/2021 18:07

@Vimto1991 thanks. I had a google and I guess its an independent. I’ll see how I feel at 7 weeks and if okay I’ll book a scan in for 8 weeks as well.

@rathernotshare good luck 😁

@DaimDillyDoo how are you?

PartyPotato · 07/10/2021 18:25

@Vimto1991 I go to NuGen!! In Brownhills?

Vimto1991 · 07/10/2021 18:28

@PartyPotato yes that’s the one :)

PartyPotato · 07/10/2021 18:31

@Vimto1991 wow we are local to each other, what are the odds! Whenever I go in I’ll be looking at people thinking… are you Vimto? 😂😂

Vimto1991 · 07/10/2021 18:32

@PartyPotato haha yeah 🙈 I’ll be looking around for a party potato!!

Clomid1 · 07/10/2021 18:44

Have any of you started making healthier changes? I’ve cut out sugar, all caffeine and am trying to get my steps in everyday.

rathernotshare · 07/10/2021 18:48

@Clomid1 oooo I can't cut sugar! I've quit vaping and switched to decaf coffee. Also making a more conscious effort with my steps.

With us falling right in flu season, are people going to have the flu jab? I know it's recommended, I'm just nervous of it as everyone I know that's had it (granted not that many) have all been ill afterwards...

TinyTickler · 07/10/2021 18:49

@Vimto1991 don't stress about miscarriage - there will always be lots of people commenting on early pregnancy forums who have had miscarriages because they're naturally more anxious. But the chances of a successful pregnancy are good, don't let anxiety spoil it for you!

@clomid1 today I had a nap, and I'm about to eat my second dinner. Felt like death all day, but maybe I should shuffle round the neighborhood after I finish dinner 2 (bowl of fries). Dinner 1 was a nice healthy stir-fry, but just kept thinking about a steaming hot bowl of chips, so here we are 😂

Cut caffeine down to one cup of tea at lunchtime, and really went off sweet snacks- my salt intake is shocking right now mind you!

PartyPotato · 07/10/2021 19:06

@Clomid1 I’m eating more fruit and veg and trying not to have so much rubbish during the day. Not had time for exercise though! Still treating myself to pudding after tea though 😁

Coco90 · 07/10/2021 20:27

I’ve also cut caffeine. I usually try and eat relatively healthy through the week and have takeaway/treats on weekends, however all this week since finding out I’m pregnant I’ve been useless, no exercise and eating a bit rubbish 😂 I must try and swap back next week!

EllieMc1 · 07/10/2021 21:04

Hi all! Just jumping on after getting my first positive last night, 2nd this morning and 3rd digital this evening (why can we never take one for an answer?! 😂)

I’m so surprised to be pregnant, doesn't feel real just yet!

This is our 2nd baby, our son turned 2 last month.

This was our first cycle of not being careful and using Flo app as an indicator for ovulation. I was going to get some ovulation tests next month.

Only thing that made me test was because I was 2 days late, other than that absolutely no symptoms just yet. When did everyones start? I remember being really sick from about 6 weeks last time 🤢

Also does anyone know how early they bring the baby when you have a planned section? Had an emergency last time so definitely opting for a planned section this time

@EllieMc1 congratulations I also got my BFP today, I’m 3 days late and also called Ellie! So we are in the same boat this will be baby 3 for me.

HasBean7 · 08/10/2021 04:31

Anyone else feeling really podgy in the tummy area? I'm only 6+2 so a bit early for a bump (!) but definitely got a slightly bigger wobbly belly. I've been feeling bloated for the last week or so, so could just be that!

rathernotshare · 08/10/2021 06:42

I'm also called Ellie Grin

Equimum · 08/10/2021 07:28

EllieMc1 a friend just had a planned c-section at exactly 39 weeks. I think they try to leave it as late as possible, but it may vary a bit by area.

I've cut out caffeine, but am struggling a bit with healthy eating. Although I sonny feel massively sick, I just don't fancy healthier choices. I did eat lots of crackers with Primula yesterday, which is something I would my normally even consider. I just really want cheesy, salty, savoury stuff.

Chloesen90 · 08/10/2021 07:34

@rathernotshare I'm not getting my flu jab. The covid vaccine messed my periods up as an immune response and I'm just worried something will happen to little baby!

rathernotshare · 08/10/2021 07:38

@Chloesen90 I didn't have the covid jab because we'd been trying so long and I was scared of messing up my cycles or getting it and finding out I was pregnant straight after 🤦‍♀️ so think maybe I should have the flu one? Or just stay indoors all winter, that works for me too haha

Coco90 · 08/10/2021 07:40

@Equimum I’m the same! All week been looking for cheesy, salty & savoury foods 😄

Equimum · 08/10/2021 07:42

Glad to hear I'm not alone Coco90!

Chloesen90 · 08/10/2021 07:42

@rathernotshare haha it's everyone's personal choice but I had mine just as we started trying and it stopped me from ovulating each time but maybe do some research into the flu one? Do you usually get the flu vaccine? Do you have any health conditions that would make you more vulnerable to flu or make it turn into pneumonia?

HWka · 08/10/2021 07:46

Probably a silly question but is there a limit to how much decaf tea/coffee you can drink? Just don’t want to risk anything!

Chloesen90 · 08/10/2021 07:48

@HWka my acupuncture therapist/midwife told me to cut it out completely to eliminate any risk. I am more prone to miscarriages though because I ovulated very late in cycle. I think the normal is one coffee on a morning

Chloesen90 · 08/10/2021 07:49

How is everyone's symptoms?? My boobs are now waking me up in the night!!!
