Anyone due February? I know it’s super early but I’ve had my BFP at what I think is 8DPO so it looks like I’ll be due the first few days of February!

Hi everyone. I’m 5+4 and my symptoms have really ramped up over these last few days. I’m super nauseous all day and so exhausted I can barely move. Is anyone else feeling the same? I feel for you if you do! x
Thank goodness it’s a BH. I’m hoping I’m doing better by tomorrow. I’m also thankful for my OH who has just gone off to the shops to get me some cheese - the only thing I can face eating today is cheese on toast… πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚

@LiveLaughL0ve yep, I am 6 weeks today and have barely done anything over the past couple of days, been feeling so tired and nauseous. Dreading work tomorrow!

StaryEyes1978 · 05/06/2022 14:25

Hi all,
I'm currently 4+1 positives seem to be getting stronger but need to stop testing for my own sanity! Due date is 11th feb and I have one DD who is 4. I'm 44 though and feeling every bit my age and worried about all the risks that brings. Have had 2 early MC in the last 4 months (and a chemical about 6 months ago). So trying to stay positive! Lovely to meet you all! xx

StaryEyes1978 · 05/06/2022 14:26

@Phyrefly Hi, I am also a mid 40's Mum (44 this time round). I have all the same anxieties and fears about my age! Keeping everything crossed for you! xx

Catred4 · 05/06/2022 14:27

Hi everyone! @Peonies94 hi! I think I remember your username from a TTC thread? Congrats all this js exciting! I got my bfp 2 days ago. Estimated due date is Valentines Day!! This is my second, my son is 20 months.

StaryEyes1978 · 05/06/2022 14:27

Peonies94 · 05/06/2022 14:42

When did every start getting more symptoms? I’m 5 weeks today and just feeling exhausted and needing to wee a lot more especially at night.

Could I please have the link for the Facebook group 😊

LiveLaughL0ve · 05/06/2022 15:12

@Nyxxie its nice to know it’s not just me. I hope you have a better day tomorrow too. I’m WFH tomorrow and hoping that the distraction of work might help in some way. But glad I’m not in the office until Tuesday.

@Muddydogwalks I started to get a lot more symptoms from 5 weeks too. They’ve increased a little more each day from there.

YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch · 05/06/2022 17:34

@Catred4 @StaryEyes1978 sent you both a PM with the Facebook link x

YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch · 05/06/2022 17:40

@Muddydogwalks I'm 5+3 I think and today I've been in such a group as I've been quite tired (done a lot of driving) and snappy at my partner telling him is this an insight what it's going to be like (me tidying up after dinner, sorting out the washing and stuff whilst he's sat playing Xbox. Currently now I'm making dinner and he's napping on the sofa!!! Shock)

I've had quite a few unnecessary wee's today as well, my bladder doesn't want to retain and fluid

Peonies94 · 05/06/2022 17:47

@LiveLaughL0ve @Nyxxie i can totally relate! Not done much over the weekend! Constant needing to go to the the toilet/be sick! I’m back in work tomorrow and dreading it too! Absolutely exhausted and feeling rotten!

I’m finally admitting that I am, in fact, pregnant! Total surprise, using contraception and on the waiting list to be sterilised. However, I’m embracing it!

Muddydogwalks · 05/06/2022 18:37

@YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch actually I’ve been getting very snappy with my partner as well. I even managed to take him food shopping for first time in forever and I could’ve killed him absolutely useless πŸ˜‚ Plus told him he’s got to start pulling his weight as I’m not doing it all on my own swear they bloody do it on purpose.

Emilyh92 · 05/06/2022 19:12

Hi All!
Im 4+4 at the moment and due on 8th Feb!

Would love to join the Facebook group if someone could send me the link please?

Its been such a long journey getting here. Me and my partner have been TTC for almost 3 years and got my BFP finally last week after my first round of IVF.

Trying to stay as positive as I can and stop symptom spotting (as haven’t really had any yet) x

nestinginnl · 05/06/2022 19:13

@henni85 that is a surprise! Do you have children already? So good you're able to embrace it (we wanted a second but weren't thinking of trying for another 6 months or so, I did a lot of swearing and shaking when I first tested πŸ˜…)

henni85 · 05/06/2022 19:24

@nestinginnl I have 2 teenage boys and a 13 month old! I’m kind of terrified, but staying positive 😊i have accepted it must have been meant to be

nestinginnl · 05/06/2022 19:27

@henni85 I have a friend from my august 2021 baby group who did two and two - two teenagers then a toddler and a baby. She is constantly busy but it works well for her. Hopefully it will be nice for the 13 month old to have a close sibling and they'll get on 🀞

Emilyh92 · 05/06/2022 19:30

@YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch could you please PM me the link too :)

Peonies94 · 05/06/2022 19:37

@Emilyh92 aww congratulations! Amazing news! 3 years, that must have been so tough! Good luck, wishing you all the best throughout this pregnancy!

OP posts:
YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch · 05/06/2022 19:38

@Emilyh92 of course I'll send it now x

Emilyh92 · 05/06/2022 20:04

@Peonies94 Thank you! :)
so tough but just so happy to be at the other side of it.

Is there anyone else here with no symptoms yet?

Nyxxie · 05/06/2022 20:33

@Peonies94 @LiveLaughL0ve it's so hard isn't it, especially when you can't tell people? I don't want my colleagues to think I'm suddenly really lazy but I just know I can't operate at my normal pace right now! Good luck to you both for the upcoming working week!

henni85 · 05/06/2022 20:59

@nestinginnl it’s going to be chaos lol. I don’t know where we are going to put another baby and my son still ends up in my bed every night. I’m actually really happy he’s going to have a sibling near his age. Just shows that life never goes to plan!

PeachCottonTree · 05/06/2022 21:19

Hi @Catred4 we share a due date. I’ve based mine of the NHS calculator so it might change with my scan.

@Emilyh92 I’m 3+5 and don’t have many symptoms yet. Had some cramping today which worried me a bit but DH helped keep me positive.
