I donโ€™t know when Iโ€™m due, Iโ€™ve not had a period since DS was born but I got 1-2 weeks on a Clearblue digi this morning which puts me sometime late October or early November (I think!)
Feels like Iโ€™m too far behind the October group but too early for a November oneโ€ฆ anyone due a similar time and want to join me? Would love to have some company ๐Ÿ˜Š

Happy to set up the group if everyone wants?

Had a scan today and found out I had a tilted uterus so it was internal. I measured exactly the weeks and days I thought. Still just under 8 weeks but I saw a heartbeat. Fingers crossed for next 8 months.

TheBirdintheCave · 10/03/2022 22:28

@Pregnantpolly Congrats on the heartbeat! I have a tilted uterus too :)

Foxella · 10/03/2022 22:30

Hey, sorry Iโ€™ve been awolโ€ฆ visiting family and life chaos as well as feeling totally like I canโ€™t possibly be pregnant because I donโ€™t feel it. I get occasional nausea but nothing much, Iโ€™m absolutely exhausted and can barely make it through the day even tho Iโ€™ve had more sleep the last few nights than Iโ€™ve had in a long time. And Iโ€™m totally bloated too. Not having a scan until next weekend so Iโ€™m hoping everything is ok but feeling like Iโ€™m struggling a bit. Grrrr, rant over, just needed a bit of a moan! Iโ€™m off to bed and determined to wake up a bit more positive. Itโ€™s Friday after all!

Loving the scan pics and so jealous, Iโ€™m desperate to have mine now!

Welcome and congratulations to everyone else whoโ€™s joined too ๐Ÿ˜Š

@TheBirdintheCave thank you. It was very exciting and strange.

GAAJ04 · 11/03/2022 08:05

@Foxella I'm extremely bloated too, it's so uncomfortable and it's made me lose my appetite, are you the same?
I have my scan next weekend tooโ€ฆ I can't wait xx

TheBirdintheCave · 11/03/2022 09:03

Brown spotting here yesterday afternoon and now this morning. I'm more aware of my womb as well, if that makes sense, like that dull feeling you get before AF is due to start. 6+3 today. It's really not looking good :(

lilyj13 · 11/03/2022 09:21

I've been feeling terrible last few days, nausea off food, shaking. Just feel I need to be sick all the time, anyone else feel like this at 5/6 weeks I woke up last night 5am feeling awful ๐Ÿ˜ž

Pregnantpolly · 11/03/2022 09:35

@TheBirdintheCave have you got an EPU near you? Give them a call for reassurance anyway. The spotting may not mean anything. My fingers are crossed for you.

TheBirdintheCave · 11/03/2022 10:00

@Pregnantpolly I might ask my husband to call them but our car is out of action at the moment so I couldn't even go in if they wanted me to. I might just have to wait it out :/ If the local midwives reply to my email I might mention it to them as I could take the bus to get to them as they're not that far away.

PeoniesInJune · 11/03/2022 12:08

@TheBirdintheCave I hope youโ€™ll be able to contact EPU and get a reassurance scan if possible. I know itโ€™s scary but brown spotting is completely normal in a lot of pregnancies. Crossing my fingers for you and baby.

@lilyj13 Iโ€™m completely the same, currently 6+2 and Iโ€™ve been feeling exhausted, shivery and nauseous for the last few days, quite like having this is my fourth pregnancy (no births) so Iโ€™m hoping these are good signs as I didnโ€™t really have them before, although it was a decade ago so hard to remember. Hope you feel a bit better soon.

misslahx · 11/03/2022 13:48

@PeoniesInJune @lilyj13 I'm exactly the same , last night I was shivery but hot and cold and needed to throw up so bad but couldn't, I ended up falling asleep and woke up fine. Although I am exhausted and get nauseous first thing and then sore and itchy boobs. I am also so bloated. I'm currently 6 weeks 5 days.

My first pregnancy which ended at 11 weeks, I had no symptoms atall so I'm a way I don't mind having these symptoms

Have my first appointment on the 25th so I'll be 8 weeks 5 days and i then have a private scan on the 31st and will be 9 weeks 4 days x

Fredstheteds · 11/03/2022 18:21

28th October- fingers crossed for everyone including me!

DM1720 · 11/03/2022 19:41

Went for my first scan. Iโ€™m 6 weeks since lat period but prob a little earlier than that coz I donโ€™t ovulate on day 14. More like day 16. Anyway, scan showed pregnancy sac, a probable yolk sac but no fetal pole yet. My hcg was 25000 on Weds so thatโ€™s why he brought me in early, he thought we should see something with the hcg so high! Bit disappointed but hoping itโ€™s just too early!

Foxilla · 12/03/2022 07:27

@GAAJ04 yes thatโ€™s it exactly! Just constantly feel full and no appetite for anything much. I was worried about some sharp cramping pains and then remembered I had it last time and it feels like round ligament pain, so Iโ€™ve calmed down a bit. Luckily Iโ€™ve had a busy week so not much time to think/worry/Google! If I can just get through the next week then Iโ€™ll hopefully have a nice scan to make it feel realโ€ฆ

@TheBirdintheCave I know the spotting is worrying, but brown especially is very common. Can you get any help with a lift or taxi to the EPU? If youโ€™re worried at any time in pregnancy then itโ€™s always best to talk to someone. I hope youโ€™re feeling better today.

@DM1720 Iโ€™m sorry your scan was a bit disappointing, theyโ€™re all good signs though and sounds like youโ€™re just a few days earlier than would show, are you going back for another?

Anyone else got scans coming up? I love seeing the pics, even though theyโ€™re just little blobs right now! ๐Ÿฅฐ

GAAJ04 · 12/03/2022 07:32

@Foxilla it's a horrible feeling isn't it, I've never heard anyone talk about bloating in early pregnancy before, from what I've read it's quite common! :)

I have a scan a week today, I think I'll be 8+1! I'm so excited โ€ฆ me and my OH keep joking im having twins โ€ฆ I might not be laughing next week Grin

summerlovingvibes · 12/03/2022 07:50

Massive pregnancy "hang over" this morning. Feel rough as anything! Am dehydrated as not drinking enough / I just simply don't want to drink as feel sick all the time. This has given me a massive headache. Meant to be going for a girly weekend away with work friends, leaving 10am today. Afternoon tea, cocktail making, spa and pool access, dinner and then a "party/club" night.

Urgggghhhhh.

Springtime22 · 12/03/2022 09:21

My boobs were so sore a couple of weeks ago and now they feel pretty much fine? Just a bit sensitive... I'm 7 +5days...

I have changed bras within that time, I wonder if it's just that. Can't help feel a bit paranoid though! Anyone else had this?

Mine were agony between weeks 5-6 but now (week 7) they arenโ€™t so sore. They just feel a bit firmer!
Annny27 · 12/03/2022 10:18

@dogsansbirds @springtime22 mine are sore on and off, sometimes even half an hour is the difference between sore or not haha!

I am also feeling sick on and off too. Some days quite nauseous and then other days mostly fine.

@thebirdinthecave How's the spotting now?

@foxella I am the same with the occasional nausea! I am 7+2 now

@peoniesinjune @lilyj13 @misslahx yep I am all shivery too haha

Springtime22 · 12/03/2022 10:18

@DogsAndBirds thanks so much for your reply :) that's reassuring. I feel like I over analyse a lot at the moment !

Pregnantpolly · 12/03/2022 10:27

Bang on 8 weeks today and to celebrate my body adds on another symptom. Vomiting ๐Ÿคข mostly white and clear.

Springtime22 · 12/03/2022 10:29

@Annny27 haha ahh, the joys! Definitely worrying over nothing x

DM1720 · 12/03/2022 12:44

@Foxilla yeah Iโ€™m back in 10 days for another scan. Hopefully they will see more then. Iโ€™m 6 weeks today so it really is still early and the dr was very positive about what he saw. Symptoms are definitely ramping up nowโ€ฆ nauseaโ€™s pretty bad today.
@Springtime22 the sore boobs for me only happen when I take my bra off in the evenings. I donโ€™t feel any different during the day. Some days are def worse than others. And I do think the pain eases off once youโ€™re wearing a more comfortable/suitable bra!
@TheBirdintheCave any update? Did you get checked out? Hope youโ€™re doing ok.

Annny27 · 12/03/2022 13:24

Tmi....anyone else not had sex since finding out? ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ After 2 miscarriages I don't want to risk anything causing any bleeding etc

@dm1720 fingers crossed the next scan you get to see heartbeat etc :)

@pregnantpolly :( I have had nausea but only thrown up once when brushing my teeth
Hope it settles!
