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!

@RBSK1 100% the feeling of this potentially being a cruel mistake is so true. I think with my previous loss, and complete lack of symptoms, I'm struggling to convince myself of any positive outcomes.
Only got to wait til Monday now for my early scan.

Blimey I bet that was stressful!

Also how did your pelvic floor hold up? I remember trying to complete the mandatory CPR training at work while heavily pregnant and it became apparently pretty quickly that, while I could probably do CPR in an emergency, it was neither easy nor comfortable!

Been lucky with pelvic floor. Despite a very bad tear with first baby and being told ill be incontinent, I am pleased to say I am not.

After CPR though, I think I needed Resuscitation, but couldn't go home as was in charge. Thankfully in a much less physical position now!

Hi all,

Looking for some reassurance... I'm 6+3 today and have tested positive for COVID, I was due to have an early scan on Sunday but it will now need to be rearranged (unless I miraculously test negative Friday which I think is unlikely). Has anyone else had COVID in early pregnancy and are there any risks? I can't find an awful lot about it online.

Thanks in advance xx

Hope you feel better soon, I would just move the scan date regardless. Took me to day 8 of symptoms starting to get negative.

I spoke to my GP as was worried also, they said its fine and to just take paracetamol as needed but basically nothing else if I can avoid it. Wasn't a pleasant week. Just listen to your body and rest

Anyone else suffering from pregnancy insomnia? I forgot how much I suffered from this with my daughter.

Morning everyone!

Can I cautiously join you all? I got my bfp on Monday meaning EDD of 28th February (so I just sneak into the group)Smile

This is my 6th pregnancy so I have all my fingers and toes crossed that this one sticks. My 5 year old is desperate for a sibling which makes my ttc journey even harder.

I've read there is a Facebook group, could I be pm'd the link to join!

YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch · 23/06/2022 07:30

@twentynineteen messaged you x

I had the same worry when I set mine up (I created an entire new fb account when I was first pregnant with my eldest, just for pregnancy groups) but now I have friends on that account who don't know I'm pregnant yet!

I've been having terrible insomnia too! Finally crashed out last night because I had a full day on my feet yesterday at work and 6 hours of driving!
Hoping the insomnia doesn't become a pattern, I love my sleep!

Well if you see my previous post please ignore the picture of my ugly curtains... is it possible to have baby brain already? I requested previous one be removed, so we go again...

Got my BFP on Monday after 17 longgg months, an unexplained infertility diagnosis and one round of letrozole. EDD is 26 February and still in total shock/disbelief. Currently 4 weeks +5 and absolutely petrified. Had intense cramps for a day or two, and now mainly just sore boobs and the odd cramp here or there. So happy to be able to join this thread!!! πŸ’—

BritInNZ · 23/06/2022 11:37

Got these tests on Monday, the day after my AF was due. I have a digital in the cupboard that has been there for months so might just use that up tomorrow morning, but also scared to test again πŸ˜‚

Lovely story @BritInNZ and great lines!! Due a couple of days before you with my second after a similarly difficult journey. Glad you've got there!

Peonies94 · 23/06/2022 17:39

Congratulations to those who have just had their positives!!

im finally starting to feel more human after having covid! I also tested negative today 😁! So glad to feel a little better, just hoping I continue to feel better now! Have been so rough with sickness, and hoping that’s been partly down to covid and not totally just pregnancy symptoms! 🀞

Nope! I could sleep for England right now. Two hour lunch time nap yesterday didn't touch the sides. That must be tough going with a toddler to look after too.

roarfeckingroarr · 23/06/2022 18:21

@Peonies94 glad you're feeling better!

I've lost a few kilos because I'm not drinking πŸ˜‚ but now starting to feel a bit bloated at 8w 3d. I have a night away with work in early July and I think a few will guess when I'm not drinking shot until 4am.

BeeYellowMumma · 23/06/2022 18:50

I'm only just into week 7, and I know 2nd pregnancies you show quicker, but with my first I didn't really show at all until.3rd trimester, but now looking as pregnant as I did at 6 months and don't think I can hide this well as I've quite the defined and firm feeling shape 😳 we are currently joking and praying its not multiples 😬

Reallt struggling with nausea ans appetite at the moment too, I don't know how to tackle it and just feel so wiped.

Peonies94 · 23/06/2022 18:53

@roarfeckingroarr its so hard to avoid people finding out isn’t it! I have a night with my 2 really close friends on the 16th, so I’ll definitely tell them by then! No way will I be able to avoid it and get away with not drinking! I’ll tell them a week or so after I tell our parents I think! I would have had an 8 week scan too, so hopefully will be ready to by then! ☺️ I’ve also cancelled a work night out and made excuses, just because they’ll ask why I’m not drinking πŸ˜‚πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ!

I'm also having insomnia for those asking... I usually sleep anytime, anywhere. Now I'm struggling to get even 4 hours of sleep! Not sure if it's excitement or just plain pregnant insomnia. I also did my digital test this morning - phew! No more testing for me now 😬
