Continuing the conversation as other thread now closed…

@PeeAche wow, congratulations! What an amazing month you are going to have What’s your due date?

@Bubblemonkey - exciting, 28 June is the same due date as me!! Although if it were based on my ovulation date it would be 30th June…

@4thtimethecharm - welcome and agreed! 🍀

Does anybody else have a bizarre pain/ache to the left and right of their belly button? It's not crappy/period like? It's hard to put a finger on what it feels like but definitely there?

Hey all,
I have just joined the 'due in june' club! It was a bit of a surprise as after 5 years TTC and being pretty sure it wasn't going to happen, suddenly here I am.
Lots of mixed feelings, as I'd got quite used to the idea of a slightly different shape of life. But excited for the unexpected adventure that's on the way.
It's so nice to have some digital company while we wait to tell people once we're a bit further along. Great to meet you all.

@4thtimethecharm welcome! So sorry to hear of your other losses and really hope that 4th times a charm for you!

@RoseValleyRambles 5 years is a really long time TTC, we've done 4 and a bit years to get to this pregnancy so I know a little of what it's like to be trying for years. So happy for you that you're pregnant now! Welcome to the group!

Thanks so much @i123i and @Prema112, wishing you both so much good luck with this one.

@RoseValleyRambles, congrats on your BFP. It is nice to have online company when you don't really dare tell others yet. Hope things will work out with this long-awaited pregnancy!

Congrats and welcome @RoseValleyRambles - totally agree on it being really nice to have this group to chat to when you haven’t told others!

Thanks guys. Still definitely in "Eek!" mode at the moment. Just referred to the local maternity unit (form asked me to choose my preferred place to give birth! Strangely enough, I haven't really considered that yet...) and it felt really weird having the first chat with a stranger.
I'm also surprised how many physical symptoms there are, so early. I've had a few days of tugging sensations (but like my usual ovulation pain), and have been feeling a bit bloated which I'd just put down to lockdown weight gain. Weird how fast it all kicks in.

@Equimum @Prema112 thanks for being so lovely and supportive. The bleeding has stopped now, and I don’t have any other symptoms so keeping positive. It was light pink rather than full on red (sorry for the TMI) so hoping it’s perhaps that cervical issue you had (or something similarly unsinister) rather than the worst case scenario.

I've been referred for a scan as they are worried about ectopic. So scared!

@Bridgey8 that's good that they're taking you in. Try not to worry, they're probably just being cautious. When's the scan? X

Fingers crossed for you @Bridgey8 x

It's tomorrow at 12. Fingers crossed all ok 😫😫😫

@bridgey8 awww hun..ectopic is very very rare so dont worry too much. Hopefully all will be well and you will get to see in scan tomorrow

Does anyone get achey ribs?

@Bridgey8 we will all be thinking of you. Please let us know how it goes x

Can I join please
I think I'm due 26th June!
Have a scan booked 10th November - fingers crossed.
I'm a nervous wreck!

@CurryandSnuggle thanks for the new thread I hadnt checked for awhile and when I saw it was full. Here is the Facebook if anyone wants it from the first June thread xx

@Bridgey8 I've had an ectopic if you want me to answer any questions you might have x

@Bridgey8 Aww, good luck with your scan. Did they say why they think it might be ectopic?

@ttcally19 Thanks for the group.. I'm thinking I will join but not until my 12 week scan/when I've told family and friends.

Thanks @TTCjourney2021

@CurryandSnuggle - I just have some sharp pains on one side which the midwife thought was stretching and I've had a tiny bit of spotting. But I also have some shoulder pain - which probably is from slouching at my desk... but the GP wanted to air on the side of caution just in case x

@Bridgey8 - sending you strength and prayers for tomorrow 🙏🏻

I just completed the online NHS ante-natal self referral for the first appointment. Did anyone else do this and how long did they take to respond? Or did you all call the midwife unit directly?

@Bridgey8 sounds like they are just been thorough rather than panic stations. Fingers crossed for you tomorrow xxx

@i123i I did my self-referral at 6 weeks, got an email 3 days later and a letter 3 days after that, and my 12 week scan appointment came with the letter too.

I had my booking appointment today.
