@HayleyBean I am, although I’ve lived away for fifteen years! Small world!

mom2be1987 · 15/04/2022 18:05

Hiii ladies!

I just found out a few days ago! My baby is due on the 16th of December. It's so nice to have a group that are in the same phase I'm in 🥰

No nausea yet. I'm getting some painful cramps every now and then.. I've done a blood test to test my hCG level yesterday and all looks good.

It's my first pregnancy and I'm struggling with quitting smoking to be honest..

lovesT · 15/04/2022 18:10

I'm so worried 😥 I just don't feel as bad as I have the last few days. How will I make it until Thursday for the early scan, unless anything happens before then 😥

mom2be1987 · 15/04/2022 18:10

@AfterBathingAtBaxters

Hi ladies, I've been having strong cramps today for the first time, which also happen to coincide with my period due date (which is either today or tomorrow). They're pretty strong cramps and the type that I would usually get just before my period.

I'm 3+6 weeks today, I'm guessing this might not be good news? I suppose I could just wait and see what happens later today but wanted to share as the wait is awful.

Grateful for any insights or thoughts - if anything it's nice to share 🙂

Heyyy hun, I'm 5 weeks today and I've been feeling painful needle like cramps for the last 2 weeks.

My OBGYN said that it's normal, these pains are happening because our body is changing, our uterus is growing and making space for the baby to grow.

Got my letter in confirming when my first scan and booking appt are. They're on the same day! One at midday and one at 3pm. At different places of course. Tempted to call and check that's okay, don't want one to overrun and leave me running late to the other one!

hopefulsunshine11 · 15/04/2022 19:43

@caulkheaded I'm in East Scotland and I have badger notes. I've got my booking appt and scan booked and I'm 6 wk 3 days.

I still don't have symptoms and apparently I should be peeing a lot but I'm not I think I'm dehydrated as I'm always thirsty. Anyone else like this?

hopefulsunshine11 · 15/04/2022 19:45

@PinkFizz1 That happened to me, the phrase she gave you isn't the password you need to go to create account then put in your email and dob then you get a verification code xx

HayleyBean · 15/04/2022 19:57

@caulkheaded I did wonder because of your username!

littlecontis · 15/04/2022 20:36

@hopefulsunshine11 I was so thirsty during week 4 & 5 and I was probably drinking 2.5L a day! I'm 6+1 now and the thirst has kinda subsided.

PinkFizz1 · 15/04/2022 20:39

@hopefulsunshine11 hey, yeah so I go to create an account and put in my email and activation code (which I think is the phrase she gave me) to create an account but it says the activation code is wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s doing my head in!

Teaandbiscuits22 · 15/04/2022 21:42

@HayleyBean they use badger notes here in Lancashire too 🙂

@lovesT my symptoms are coming and going, I had a blood test for a urine infection on Tuesday and she said my HcG is nice and high, it seems pretty normal for them to fluctuate at this stage. I don't remember much in the way of symptoms from my older two, not this early on anyway (I'm 5+5) sickness has been unbearable some days but others I feel fine.

@mom2be1987 I'm with you on the smoking.....this baby is a big surprise....the sickness has helped me get down to 5-8 a day though. I found it easiest with my first, but hes 16 now 😳

Welcome and congratulations 🎊 to all who've joined, it seems its going to be a busy Christmas!

I have tried multiple times to add myself to the list and have only succeeded in deleting my entire post twice 🙃 it appears baby brain is in force 🙄 I'm Due 11th Dec and this will be my third 👶

BuchananBaby · 15/04/2022 22:44

@lovesT try not to worry symptoms some and go this morning I felt awful and had to have a sit down shower then this afternoon I felt way better ❤️

Congratulations to everyone who's got their BFP the last few days it's such an exciting time 🥰

Have my scan a week tomorrow and I am so excited! I feel like the last couple of weeks have flown in, long may that continue 🤞

FlowerJ · 15/04/2022 22:56

Just catching up 🙂 Welcome to all the new ladies and congrats! Love seeing all the Xmas eve/day babies starting to appear 🥰🎄

Left a message with my GP the other day and the midwife rang today to book in my appointment to see her. So I'm going a week Monday. Exciting times! Just waiting on my scan appointment now.

Nearly 8 weeks and still no real symptoms so far except peeing lots and bloating in the evening . Back at work tomorrow after 2 weeks holiday so interested to see how that makes me feel! Still not told them yet.

Still kind of feeling like a fraud 😂 Did another test yesterday and the second line appeared in seconds. That's the only thing that makes me feel pregnant right now.

Due December (thread 2) 👯
Chanel05 · 16/04/2022 07:48

I'm on 11dpo now and I think my lines are getting darker, as well as two BFPs on a digital yesterday and today, so I've added myself to the 27th.

Morning all! I seem to have picked up a cold to add to the fun list of things I’m moaning about 🤣 Off to the in-laws today, I’m glad we’ve told them because my food aversions have kicked up a lot in the last couple of days.

I had to leave a supermarket yesterday because of the smell of the fishmongers. We were supposed to get fish and chips for dinner last night and the thought of anything greasy made me heave. I ended up making homemade soup yesterday afternoon and eating about 3 bowls of that with bread and butter because it was all I wanted!

7 weeks today! Feels like another milestone hit 🤩 hope everyone is having a lovely morning!

Graceybaby · 16/04/2022 08:14

So nice to see so many Christmas babies! It still really hasn't sunk in for me.. have felt slightly nauseous and very very tired though. I had absolutely no symptoms with my son until about 16 weeks! and even then I was sick once and that was it! having a feeling this pregnancy is going to be different!

I have completed my self referral for my initial midwife appointment so will just wait for that :)

Does anybody plan on having any early private scans? I did with my son at 8 weeks and it made me feel so much more relaxed so think I may do the same this time.

x

LolaJ87 · 16/04/2022 08:28

@Graceybaby yeah a couple of people on this thread have had an early scan already! I’m so jealous they’ve already had a peek 😁 mine is on Friday (I’ll be 7+6). Cannot wait! I think they’re definitely worth it, no way could I wait another 5 weeks.

Graceybaby · 16/04/2022 08:34

@LolaJ87 Exactly! I can't wait that long.. think I'm going to book mine today.. just a bit scared it might be too premature and like tempting fate BUT if it don't book it I may not be able to get an appointment when I want one as the place near me already looks quite booked up!

It's been 5 years since I was pregnant with my son so it feels all so new again! And I feel like I haven't got a clue what I'm doing 😂

Teaandbiscuits22 · 16/04/2022 09:35

Im the same Graceybaby my youngest is five so its been a while for me too! My tests are still very faint but it could be because I ovulated later than I think, Still makes me nervous though!

RSmamaa · 16/04/2022 09:40

Hi everyone. Sorry I've found it hard to keep up with the thread. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed everything tastes weird? I remember it tasting like this with my DS too but I had forgotten. I can't stand butter 🤮. Based on LMP I'm 5+3 but based on ovulation I'm 4+4. Pretty sure I was puking every day by now last time so I'm so glad I feel ok for now
