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

Hi all, hope everyone is doing ok and hanging in there despite the flickers of anxiety in these early stages ๐Ÿ™ˆ

I had a private Scan today. Going by the date of my last period I should have been 9+6 however measured 10+4.
I find this utterly mind boggling, but tbh I have failed to understand a lot of what appears to be common knowledge/experience on here ๐Ÿ˜…

My approach is generally not to overthink things, and to take some things with a pinch of salt. I was given due date of 29th October but I'm not expecting baby to make an appearance until early November... Happy to be proven wrong on this one though ๐Ÿ˜…

Also have my 12 wk NHS scan on 21st April so I guess we'll see if anything changes.

Hope90x · 07/04/2022 01:33

Sorry some of you are having a tough time with symptoms. I had excruciatingly painful boobs from first day of missed period but this has eased off to a more tolerable pain in the last week.
I've also experienced fatigue throughout, which has been difficult, and for some reason only in the last 3/4 days I've started to feel extremely nauseated. This is my first pregnancy so no idea how long I should expect this to last at this stage ๐Ÿ˜…

Hey everyone,

Sorry Iโ€™ve been radio silent. I was the one who created the Facebook group but I did make @misslahx admin too - my mental health got on top of me and I found it really hard being in the group/being on here so took a break from social media and here for a bit but the group should have stayed open itโ€™s weird it didnโ€™t - I havenโ€™t been able to find it either when I logged in so not sure what happened there!

Hi everyone! New to this thread and itโ€™s my first time being pregnant. Like you guys Iโ€™m due in late Oct/early Nov and am now 10 weeks eek. Iโ€™m excited and super anxious too as Iโ€™m constantly thinking Iโ€™ll have a miscarriage and not know. I know my first scan in just under 2 weeks will help to ease my mind.

AbbiL0u · 10/04/2022 21:24

Hello @HopefulBeckie, congratulations!! I am 9 week + 5 so not far from you, how are you feeling? :) Also looking forward to the 12 week scan to ease some worries hopefully!

How is everyone doing? I feel like Iโ€™m in such a mood all the time, and my cramps seem to be back (which I havenโ€™t missed the last few weeks), I feel nauseous unless I eat but thankfully not being physically sick. Very excited for some time off work over Easter!

Congratulations to you too! Iโ€™m sorry to hear youโ€™ve been nauseous and having cramps. Iโ€™ve been feeling good most of the time. Itโ€™s almost like Iโ€™m not pregnant ๐Ÿ˜… Has anyone got a bump yet? I just look like Iโ€™m getting a bit fat lol
Coastaldreamer · 11/04/2022 10:03

Hey all. I did join this group when I found out I was pregnant but then was unhealthily using MN so took a break. Now 10+3 and the sickness I have had the last few weeks had been horrid. Was being sick around 3 times a day and onto my third anti sickness medication to help.

Since yesterday though I have been feeling ok and not taking any meds. Still got very sore and heavy boobs and bump is fully there as it's my second. But ofc I'm worrying "why" I'm not feeling sick anymore! Sigh. Obviously also thankful I'm not sick anymore given how bad it's been.

Had a scan at 8+2 and everything was great. Not got the nhs one till early May as they got delayed processing me through so will be 13+4 then.

I guess I don't know what I'm actually asking about. Just reassurance that sickness going still means I'm pregnant ๐Ÿคฐ๐Ÿฝ

misslahx · 11/04/2022 10:24

Hope everyone is okay! It's scan day for me today and I am so worried that I will hear something bad , guess it's the anxiety
I'm 11+1 today โ˜บ๏ธโ˜บ๏ธ

DogsAndBirds · 11/04/2022 11:40

Just got back from my 12 week scan - all okay with the little one :) Due date of the 20th October so I might be better off on the October group rather than this one?

Anyone good luck to anyone going for their scans in the coming week or so!

Due late Oct ๐ŸŽƒ - early Nov ๐ŸŽ‰
misslahx · 11/04/2022 12:00

@DogsAndBirds this group is late October - November โ˜บ๏ธโ˜บ๏ธ I would class 20th as late October x

The scan is so clear!! How amazing

JMC91 · 11/04/2022 12:58

@DogsAndBirds how fantastic, that's such a clear scan ๐Ÿ˜

@misslahx all the best for your scan today xxxx

Kat668 · 11/04/2022 15:46

@HopefulBeckie welcome! Congratulations ๐Ÿ˜Š I don't have a bump yet but I don't expect too till about 20 weeks as I'm a size 16.

@AbbiL0u I'm the same, mood swings and if I leave it too late to eat I feel queasy! Having to carry biscuits around with me ha ha.

@Coastaldreamer I'm sorry you've been sick ๐Ÿ˜ž I stopped feeling sick at 7.5 weeks after a week and a half of really bad morning sickness so rang my midwife in a panic, she said it's nothing to worry about! I'm talking literally over night all symptoms disappeared. Also my tracking app says its normal for sickness to start easing off at 11 weeks and you're not too far off that!

@misslahx good luck for your scan!

@DogsAndBirds congrats that's a really lovely clear scan!! We'd love to have you stick around if you want to stay in this group ๐Ÿ˜Š

I had my 12 week scan today! Except it was little early as we were cheeky and asked for it a bit sooner. I'm 11+3 today. Baby was being very stubborn and wouldn't face the right way, so had to walk up and down the stairs for a bit, then when that still didn't work, had to go and eat something and come back ๐Ÿ˜น unfortunately she told me to go to the loo in that break so when I went back my bladder wasn't full enough, so the scan pics aren't too clear but I still love them! Probs won't share here as they're not clear enough ๐Ÿ˜… but it was so so so lovely hearing the heartbeat and seeing it move around was so surreal!! At one point it put both arms up and waved around a bit ๐Ÿ˜น finally feel like I can relax now and actually celebrate! Having the MC before just robbed me of all joy so far, so glad I can now enjoy it ha ha.

misslahx · 12/04/2022 07:46

Scan went amazingly! Bub is measuring 2 days behind but all is good- flickering heart beat and kept wriggling and jumping around so was hard to get a photo! It's so amazing watching on the screen isn't it โค๏ธ heart feels so full and contentโค๏ธ

ThinkingDifferent · 12/04/2022 08:32

Congratulations @DogsAndBirds and @misslahx what lovely pics. Can't wait for my scan

Coastaldreamer · 12/04/2022 09:24

@misslahx great news and pic!

@Kat668 good to know it's normal. Saying that in the end I was sick twice yesterday so I knew it was back but not as bad! Hormones!

@DogsAndBirds that's such great news and lovely pic too!

Can't wait for my scan. Seems like forever to go! I did actually call my hospital yesterday to see if they had any cancellations so I could go a week earlier ๐Ÿ˜…. No luck but they said try again next week

AbbiL0u · 12/04/2022 09:57

@DogsAndBirds @misslahx @Kat668 Ahhh congrats on your scans, must be so good to have that peace of mind! Mine is 2 weeks today, so exciting!

DogsAndBirds · 12/04/2022 13:37

@AbbiL0u @Coastaldreamer @ThinkingDifferent @Kat668 @JMC91 @misslahx thanks for all the lovely messages - was a relief but it was our third scan so had already seen baby a few times but still great. (We had a private early on and then a early check at the hospital.)

Seems like ages until the next at 20 weeks though!

Have started telling family as we had kept it quiet :)

Pregnantpolly · 13/04/2022 14:09

@Coastaldreamer we are so similar. I'm so anxious that I feel better.

Coastaldreamer · 13/04/2022 14:45

@Pregnantpolly it's a horrible thought isn't it. When is your scan?

To be honest my sickness has come back so I'm back on the meds the GP gave me :(

Pregnantpolly · 13/04/2022 14:54

@Coastaldreamer I had my NHS scan last Monday at 11 weeks 2 days. The ultrasound machine was really old so my pictures are terrible and baby wasn't in great position so measurements seem off. I've got myself in tizzy so booked private for Tuesday

I still have nausea but not sick really.

misslahx · 13/04/2022 18:04

Anyone else dealing with this? My right eye has been non stock twitching for over a week. It's so annoying! Did do the typical thing and Google it to see if it's normal and Google says it is a normal symptom. Never heard of it before so just wondering if anyone else has it??

misslahx · 16/04/2022 19:04

How is everyone ?

73nat · 16/04/2022 22:23

@misslahx no eye twitching but my lips pulsate alot especially at night(I also googled said it was to do with your blood flow increasing)

How many weeks are you ?
Smile

misslahx · 17/04/2022 06:53

@73nat I'm 12 weeks today x

DogsAndBirds · 17/04/2022 07:45

@misslahx all okay here :)

Feel like everything is stretching and moving about so a bit sore and uncomfortable but no bump yet. (First baby so wouldnโ€™t expect it yet!)
