Due August 2022

[ksc912]

Hello,

Just found out we are pregnant after 13 months of trying - based on last period will be due august 19th.

Any others with similar time like to join to support one another?

@netflixandnochill yes, all normal symptoms so no need to worry. I find the nausea starts when my stomach is empty so try to keep eating small things like crackers etc. It should help. I hate this part of pregnancy lol.

Thanks @KCat82 & @dream109 will try to eat little and often. And will also try to chill out!

Morning all,

Hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday!

I’m 5 + 2 today and am still feeling rubbish… I think what’s most worrying for me is that I don’t know what I’m supposed to be feeling or if it’s ok.

My boobs are barely touchable they’re so sore, even hugging DH hurts, I feel sick every couple of hours for about an hour and I have intermittent cramps and twinges. Is this all normal?! I’ve not actually been sick yet, just get a lot of gas alongside the nausea.

If anyone has any tips for the above, let me know!

I think that all sounds normal. I'm in the same boat - only thing helping me is just keeping busy. Hope it passes soon x

I really didn't want to post this here because I didn't want to make already anxious woman even more anxious but I just need to speak out 😭 I've just DTD and have bled red blood heavily, I'm so scared as I lost a pregnancy at 5 weeks exactly 5 weeks ago today. EPAU is shut today and I'm just not coping 😭

@netflixandnochill with DD I kind of leaned into the symptoms as a way of knowing all was good and hormones were rising so feeling crappy is a positive.

I’m only 14dpo by luteal is 10, so I’m definitely several days late. DD was very unplanned so I didn’t know until week 5-6. I’m finding this time very nervy. I’m obsessively peeing on sticks, lord knows how much I’ve spent. I’m also away until tonight and can’t wait to get back to my cheapie tests which are at least consistent and I can see the line grow or not if that makes sense? I’m hoping my dr will see me before 8 weeks/make an exception as I’m just very stressed. Is anyone else feeling this way?

@Hannabanana2021 I hope you’re ok. No 2 people are alike, but my sister had 2 actual periods when pregnant with her second and she was fine. Apparently sometimes there can be a little pocket of blood or something which releases as well. I know it will be impossible, but try to relax, lie down with a hot water bottle and take care of yourself. Hoping the bleeding stops ASAP. Sending all the best wishes your way

Evening all. I’m having a bit of a wobble. Have had pink cm this evening and I think it’s send me into full on panic (and down a doctor google black hole!). I’m 5+3. I know it’s super early and you have to be realistic at this stage. But could do with a reality check - am I freaking out about nothing? Is it worth calling gp tomorrow or will they tell me I’m being ridiculous and just have to wait and see?

Sorry for self-absorbed post. Am in a flap!

I'd register with the midwife if you haven't already and then wait and see ❤️

It can be fine, it can be bad. Last pg, I had a speck of blood at 6+4, then nothing, thought everything was fine. 11wk scan showed it stopped growing around then too. Honestly, I keep wishing I had just miscarried then, yet in that moment I desperately prayed not to and was so pleased every week that it hung on in there.

Realistically, that speck could have been nothing. GP, midwife were all reassuring, v normal, just a speck doesn't count etc. etc. Had all the symptoms, bump was growing. Awful tbh.

Best thing to do is register so if it is bad it is on the record. If you call the GP they will almost certainly tell you to wait and see.

Usually pink cm is just either old implantation bleed, breakthrough, or irritation from sex. Odds are massively in your favour right now.

I know it won't help but try to not panic. There's literally nothing you can do. If things are going badly stressing ahead of time won't help, you'll just be more of a mess. If everything is fine, you're losing out on the experience.

Once you see your healthy little baby on the scan, you can really start to get excited, just try to keep your emotions in check until then (easier said than done).

@Digby86, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, a few people on this thread have had spotting now which proves how common it is! Keep an eye on it and it gets any worse ring your GP. I would also do a pregnancy test in a couple of days time and perhaps book yourself in for an early private scan for peace of mind if you can afford it

I’m 5+2 today and starting to get a bit worried, literally no symptoms, absolutely nothing. Well, apart from waking up at 4/5am every morning but I’m actually starting to think that’s an anxiety thing now.

Have booked an early scan for a weeks’ time and will keep doing tests until then but keep thinking surely I should be having sore boobs and waves of nausea or something by now?!

Morning ladies, just wanted to share my experience in case it helps. I have had literally no symptoms until this morning and then boom, the dreaded morning sickness has hit! 😳 6&2 today. X

I was the same as @CazWte, my symptoms hit at 6+2 so please don't worry about symptoms this early. It even says on a lot of sites that Morning Sickness tends to start from 6 weeks.

@Hannabanana2021 how are you doing now? Have you stopped bleeding? It might have been your cervix being irritated.

@dream109

I was bleeding out for about 10 mins, after that everything settled down and turned into light pink only when I wipe. Still nothing today but I can waiting a call back from EPAU x

Thanks both. I think I’m going to try and book a scan for 8 weeks and just attempt not to stress out too much in the meantime. Whatever is going to happen will happen I guess…

@Pearldrops04 I really wouldn’t worry too much. I think 5 weeks (we’re about the same - I’m 5+4 today) is still really really early. Some people don’t even know they’re pregnant at this stage. And all pregnancies differ. My sister has two kids and the first was practically symptom free for their first trimester - she had no idea until she was 6 weeks and even then the only symptom she could point to was “feeling a bit odd”. With her second she was sick as a dog from the outset.

I understand that it’s a really worrying time, and it’s so easy to fret about these things - plus there’s a sense of kind of wanting some kind of symptoms so it actually feels real (or that’s how I feel about it anyway). But I think just try to stay calm and maybe think of yourself as lucky that you’re not suffering from MS etc just yet!

@Pearldrops04 with my DD I didn’t feel anything except a bit of implantation until week 5-6, and the only reason I took a test was Like @Digby86 sister, I felt a bit odd and wanted to rule it out. Then the sickness started the next week and there was no doubt what it was. I have friends who have coasted through healthy pregnancies with nothing though which is amazing! Don’t stress it, you’re doing great I’m sure

@Hannabanana2021 hope they get back to you soon! x

I’m 7+5 today and still don’t have a single symptom, I wouldn’t have a clue I was pregnant if hadn’t have taken the pregnancy tests a few weeks ago. It does make me worry but just trying to go with it and hopefully everything will be ok on my 12 week scan in a months time 🙏🏻

Morning all, hope everyone has had a good few days. I too have had some more spotting. Excuse if tmi but dark brown which I'm hoping is ok and very small amounts.

So hard with symptoms mine are definitely coming and going. And I worry when not there.

I'm just over 6 weeks and planning on booking an early scan 8 weeks for a little reassurance 🤞🏻. I've had my 12 week scan appointment but not a booking in appt yet?! Seems a bit strange.

@CoalCraft hope your mums op went ok x

@beckybloomwood11 congratulations and welcome x

@CoalCraft hope your mum has a speedy recovery.

@Hannabanana2021 hope you're okay. That must have been so scary. I've heard bleeding can be normal during pregnancy.

@Pearldrops04 I'm 5+2 today too. I've got no symptoms at all. Not even sore breasts. I've had a wobble yesterday, I'm convinced somethings wrong. I know it can be normal but I wish I'd have one symptom to ease my mind! I've spoken to lots of ladies with very little to no symptoms so I think it can be normal! I think we might just be early x

Hello
Sorry to jump in but I wondered if you’d had covid jab prior to conceiving ?
I’ve had 3 and it’s really changed my cycle and so worried as about to start ttc but can no longer pinpoint fertile days so stressing and looking for reassurance

EPAU are seeing me for tests and bloods at 4. Then if the HCG is over 1500 they'll scan me.
Last month I had 3 scans and 5 blood tests during my 1st miscarriage. I'm so drained and anxious. Going back there will be mentally draining still no more bleeding as of yet.

Thinking of you @Hannabanana2021, hope you get good news.

@LifeSabotage yes, cycles a bit messed up after my first two but conceived first try 4 months after the second. I was already pregnant with my booster.

I can feel nausea and tiredness coming on today, but not sure how much of that is due to a lovely but exhausting couple of days where I didn't manage my SAD very well! Also had the first couple of irrational hormonal moments, including a crying fit brought on by my DP pointing out something I'd forgotten to take upstairs while we were tidying before guests arrived .

Thinking of you @Hannabanana2021, really hope everything’s okay!!

Thanks all for the reassurance, I’d be bloody awful with morning sickness as I have a real aversion/ fear of being sick but at least I’d know things are progressing. Went out and got another CB digital just now like a crazy person and took that...still 3+ so I’m hoping that’s a good sign.

I’m really going to try hard and relax and just feel a tiny bit happy that as far as I’m aware, I am pregnant as I know I’ll never get this time back and don’t want to waste it being a total anxious mess 24/7!!

Hope everyone’s had a good festive season!

Thinking of you @Hannabanana2021 keeping everything crossed for good news x

So after bleeding when I wipe on and off a few days during the week everything stopped maybe Friday/Saturday so I took a test today (digital) and finally got 3+ so that's giving me a lot more hope and reassurance as last Monday it was 2-3 before any spotting started. So I think am roughly around 5+6 or 5+5! X
