Anyone else find out they are due in July ? My dates work out to be right at the end of June/July so I thought I'd start a July thread for us seeing as there is a few June ones going.

Anyone else got a + tests lately I got mine yesterday and then another today. Got a few more test to doing over the next week to see if they get darker.

Hope to have some more July ladies join me there is a few of us on the June thread and Facebook group already I'll try to tag you ladies Xxx

Had my first app with an obstetrician, she said I have subchorionic hematoma as I expected it's 40% of baby's size, so medium.

It sucks as nothing can be done and she offered weekly scans.
But I guess the baby is there and alive and I just have to take it a week at a time 🙂

@Cruz86 yes I get so out of breath it's amusing me. 10 steps of stairs and I need to get my breath back (and I used to exercise a lot before this BFP) x

jasmine88woo · 15/11/2021 09:44

@Cruz86
Thank you! I have my 'booking in' appointment over the phone on weds so will mention it.
Feel fine today though thank goodness ☺️

Yes I am also short of breath! Just from walking up the stairs even haha. I thought "I surely can't be that unfit all of a sudden" so glad to hear that it's a pregnancy thing 💕

Lostintranslatio · 15/11/2021 09:46

@Cruz86 same here! Any task will leave me breathless 😅

@laurenGame I used to go gym very regularly but not since the BFP. I can't wait to go back but atm feeling too exhausted for that. I hope it improves soon. I imagined begin very active during pregnancy and so far I'm just a lump 😂😂

Effram · 15/11/2021 10:46

@Cruz86 breathlessness is really common - I think it's to do with the increased blood volume, you get about 50% more blood during pregnancy so it's working harder to pump it all around!

I see a PT once or twice a week and went this morning and was just a broken out of puff mess on the floor even after the warm up haha!

Just waiting for midwife to call for my booking appointment :)

I've just tried to find myself an NHS dentist seeing as I'm entitled to free dental care now. None of the closest ones are accepting new patients and the only one that is has a 6 month waiting list for a check up! Anyone else experiencing this or just a postcode lottery?

F0XYL0XY · 15/11/2021 11:11

Me too with the suddenly feeling breathless and unfit, is it too soon to switch to pregnancy Pilates? Might find some videos online to do instead of trying to go to the gym 😬.
I need help thinking of not hideously unhealthy savoury snacks to keep the nausea at bay. I'm currently eating breadsticks but they're not quite salty enough and I don't want to give in and eat a million packets of ready salted crisps a day which is where I'm heading😆. I just have this feeling that if I could just find the right snack I'd conquer the nausea...🤪🤔

sehampton21 · 15/11/2021 11:21

Hi all,

7wks2dys and due on the 7th of July. Absolutely loved all the pregnancy symptoms such as sore boobs and cramps etc but the nausea has kicked in this last week and oh holy hell, it is bad. I have been put on bed rest for two weeks by my gp and given cyclizine which helps a bit.
Feeling slightly useless around the house as my husband is having to do literally everything. I am struggling to even wash my hair. Anyone else have any suggestions other than the whole ginger, eat little and often etc stuff Sad

Massive congratulations to all you other expecting mummies Thanks

Cruz86 · 15/11/2021 11:27

Hi ladies, just been for an early scan and unfortunately no heartbeat could be seen and the embryo is measuring a lot smaller than it should be. Apparently I've got to wait 2 weeks, take a pregnancy test (if I haven't miscarried already) and if it's still positive, get another scan. I'm heartbroken 💔

Elsols93 · 15/11/2021 11:41

@Cruz86 oh Cruz I am so so sorry 💔 xxx

Effram · 15/11/2021 11:53

oh @Cruz86 that is devastating. I will keep everything crossed that it will miraculously grow and catch up and scan just not clear. lots of love xxxxxxxx

Effram · 15/11/2021 11:55

@sehampton21 Sorry you're feeling so sick, glad you have some meds. I've heard pomegranate juice and vit B (maybe?) might help along with the bands but it seems to be just be trial and error for each person. A friend who suffered really badly recommends the pregnancy sickness website as she said she found it v validating and reassuring - don't beat yourself up about feeling useless, you're growing a human!

Also - I'm 7 weeks and 1 day and due 3rd... so you must be due 2nd?!

Cruz86 · 15/11/2021 11:58

Thank you @Effram and @Elsols93. I just keep trying to work out if my dates could be out and that they're measuring from implantation and I've still got hope. But it just doesn't seem likely 😞 xx

HotToddyColdSauvignon · 15/11/2021 12:05

Everything crossed for you @Cruz86

Lucylulu1 · 15/11/2021 12:20

Oh @Cruz86 I'm sorry you are going through this right now. I've got everything crossed for you.

jasmine88woo · 15/11/2021 13:21

@Cruz86
My thought and hopes are with you ❤️
Such a worrying time xxxx

Trinxsy · 15/11/2021 13:22

@Cruz86 , I am so sorry, I'm keeping everything crossed for you. Please keep us updated, sending you all my love.

Does anyone have symptoms that come and go? I haven't had nausea for a couple of days and I'm feeling a bit nervous about it. I'm about to go for an afternoon nap though so I'm still feeling tired lol

Cruz86 · 15/11/2021 13:24

Thank you all so much ❤️ I called my midwife and she's booked me in with the early pregnancy unit tomorrow so they can have a look at what's going on too. By my dates, I should be around 7 weeks but they've put me at 5w4d 😩😩

CaptainCarp · 15/11/2021 13:33

Hi all
So woke up this morning with bleeding. Very red. Its slowed a bit but I've got a scan tomorrow to see if the pregnancy is progressing or not.

PleaseSendNoodles · 15/11/2021 14:16

Oh @Cruz86 how stressful. I’m sorry. Hopefully it’s one of those weird cases where it catches up in a couple of weeks. Keeping everything crossed for you but sitting ans waiting must be so hard xx

@CaptainCarp sorry you’re having a rough time, too. Hopefully everything is okay! I know a lot of women in this group have experienced bleeding but baby is totally fine. Keep us updated xx

purpleskyssssss · 15/11/2021 14:42

Oh @Cruz86 I'm so sorry to hear that :( my fingers are crossed for you! 😢

CaptainCarp · 15/11/2021 15:34

@Cruz86 sorry to hear. The doctor today warned me that if I wasn't over 6 weeks they wouldn't be able to see anything so I might have to go back in another week or 2.

I'm hoping your dates are out & you'll see something in 2 weeks.

@PleaseSendNoodles thank you. Reading the stories on here give me hope! Just a big shock 1st thing this morning although feeling a little calmer & hoping for the best tomorrow

Cruz86 · 15/11/2021 15:57

Thank you everyone. Sorry you're having to be scanned too @CaptainCarp. What time is yours? I have one too x

purpleskyssssss · 15/11/2021 16:46

Also so sorry to hear that aswell @CaptainCarp I must of scrolled past, fingers crossed for tomorrow and like others have said I have heard some bleeding can be normal, although I fully understand how worried you must be right now! Positive thoughts though let us know how you get on

OhGloriousDay · 15/11/2021 17:04

Sorry to hear that both of you. I had two miscarriages before my daughter (now 2) and in both cases found out because I had an early scan and the measurements weren’t matching up. I also had several bleeds while I was pregnant with her and she worked out fine.

It’s so hard. I’m trying to treat this as not happening until I get quite a bit further along.

JJ1992 · 15/11/2021 17:46

@CaptainCarp hope you get on okay tomorrow ❤️
@cruz86 so theyre not sure exactly whats going on? So hard not knowing 😕

Im just starting to feel fatigue, my bloating has started to settle but still feel twinges at times. Find if i stand up too quick i almost get a pulling sensation in my lower abdomen /..? Uterus. Not sure if thats normal! Also chronically peeing 😂
