Due September 2022 - Thread #2

[madeleine85]

Calling all the September 2022 mums/babies :) Here is our 2nd thread. Hoping for lots more new joiners, and early pregnancy stories.

I'm just on folic acid with Vit D, pregnacare didn't agree with me in my last pregnancy made me vomit, once I stopped it I went back to being symptomless. Could have been a coincidence, but avoiding this time round

Anyone else constipated?? Any tips?

Anyone with sore boobs, when do they ease? Or do they stay sore throughout?

I'm using a b12 one which turned out to have folic acid in too, the normal ones apparently are better in the evening if they make you queasy

I'm on pregnacare, but will take asda own brand when I finish my pack.

@Whatelsecouldibecalled have you tried lactulose?

@Hopingforarainbow27 I dont have sore boobs (yet ?) But had them in previous pregnancies and the pain eventually eased off, but cant remember when

@Whatelsecouldibecalled fruit with skin helps so apples for example. Whenever my 2 year old has it we load her with apples 😂

@Whatelsecouldibecalled plenty of water. I used to make a prune puree and have a glass of that before bed and it really helped. I drink lemon water in the morning to help with digestion too. My Mum swears by eating figs.

@Whatelsecouldibecalled we swear by all fruits beginning with p. Hope you get some release soon

Hi hope you don’t mind me joining in 😊 yesterday I had 4 BFPs after testing to put my mind at rest as I only had my coil removed on Dec 22nd and my periods hadn’t returned! It has come as a bit of a shock as we weren’t going to start trying until later in the year & we are getting married in March! I’ve worked out I think we must have conceived the first time we DTD following coil removal, so due 22nd Sept. It’s nice to meet you all, this is my first baby so thought I would follow for some advice/tips

Hello

7weeks4days, yesterday was cramping day and omg it was horrible I’m on and off spotting but have been since about 7ish weeks now no blood clots or heavy bleeding that’s the only thing keeping me hopefully. Scan booked again for Thursday that can’t come quick enough

Hi Mummy's to be. Just wondered if you had any experience with the CB week predictor tests. I am 5+2 and it is still saying 2-3 weeks. Does this sound right? This is around the time of my MC a few months ago so super twitchy! TIA 🙏🏻

@Hopingforarainbow27 yes me too!! I quite like it though, whenever I get worried about things I give them a squeeze to make sure they are still sore. 🤣 x

@Billymay Hey! Ive been taking Garden of Life - RAW prenatal. It's all natural/organic. X

@Glastomummy Yes I wouldn't worry, I only got 2-3 at 5w2d but my cycles are long and luteal phase short so I know I ovulate late in the cycle 🤗

@cardiffgal22 welcome and congrats!

@Hopingforarainbow27 yes sore boobs team here! But I actually don't mind, I don't have any other symptoms do they make me feel pregnant 😂 I know it may sound stupid!

@Pinkflamingofly I'm using a few because they all have different features I like! I use easy@home because I was tracking my cycle on that so stayed on it, I am on WhatToExpect because I like how they show the size of the baby etc and I also use PregnancyTracker because it's just a mix of all of them and I like it's widget 😂

@Glastomummy I don't even have to squeeze mine they just ache! Even going down the stairs 🤦🏽‍♀️
@Peauela yeah that's really my only symptom too and tiredness. In the mornings I get a wave of nausea for like 5 mins but I could be imagining that lol

@Peauela ahh you legend!! I hadn't even thought about that! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I didn't test for ovulation last month so just going from date of my last period but I usually ovulate late too. Should I just chill out, stop testing and enjoy being pregnant?! 🤣 xx

@Peauela @Hopingforarainbow27 the nausea is just teasing me at the moment- I think it's coming then it doesn't happen!! How far gone are you both? The only weird thing is I don't actually fancy a roast dinner today which is most unlike me 🤣 unless it's just because I'm too tired to cook it 😳 x

@Glastomummy I think I'm 5w 4days! I'm so hungry atm but don't want to cook anything

@Glastomummy I want to say YES but I also cannot stop testing 🤣

Also, I'm only 5+5 so very early! My first visit is on the 31st Jan eeeeek so excited but also terrified. I've been reading about ectopic pregnancies and now I'm shitting my pants 😂

@Glastomummy I've just stupidly done a digital and got 2-3 and I think I'm 5+1

Hi ladies, I need a bit of support here... Today is 21 days since my ovulation and I decided to do clear blue digital test, hoping to see 3+ but I still got 2-3 weeks... A bit worried as I had horrendous pain in my abdomen and stomach on Friday (turned out to be UTI and I'm on antibiotics now). I'm paranoid something happened to the baby 😣

Hi everyone I've been so quiet on here just because I don't have a whole lot to say at the moment. I'm 6 weeks and time has practically stopped.
I thought I'd check in though as I see a lot of people are worrying about progress on digital s.
I had this exact thing this week. I tested 5 + 4 and got 2-3 and went into major panic. Googling everything and it's actually really common everyone HCG levels rise differently. I then couldn't help myself and tested again on 5 + 6 and got 3+ weeks.
Hope this eases some anxiety and if testing on a digital I would definitely wait until closer to 6 weeks for a more accurate result.

@Mags146 I got my 3+ at 26 days past ovulation, I purposely held off as long as possible, because I know that even a day can make a difference with those. Hope that helps.

I didn't get a dye stealer until day 21. Also had a UTI at the same time.
