Due February 2023 ❤️💙💛💖

[Peonies94]

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!

Oooh! I would love to go to that! It's pretty nearby for me.

We went to the baby and toddler show when I was pregnant with my DD. It was great. Lots of wacky stuff but also lots of good deals - we got our Joie 360 car seats (one for each car) with something like £175 each off them

Both tests today, I'm utterly confused. I've had positives on the cheapies since Friday. Hoping it's just a faulty digital. They're too expensive to be giving me this sort of panic 😂🙈

@Onebabyandamadcat sorry your confused! I’d maybe wait a few days and test again, but I’m sure the levels just aren’t quite high enough for the digital to give you a pregnant result! You shouldn’t be too far away from getting a positive on there though, you should definitely by Thursday! Sending love though! It’s so tough isn’t it😌!

@roarfeckingroarr it looks really good doesn’t it! I think I will go, even if it is a 4 hour drive each way! Maybe sneak an overnight stay in the night before the show! Ahh okay! @Onebabyandamadcat There’s the baby show in London and the baby and toddler show in Manchester! Now to decide which one to attend! 🤔

The tests were shouting at me from the cupboard so I did another just incase. I think I didn't dip my first test for long enough. This looks much better. I'm stepping away from the tests now 😂

Bet you’re so glad it called out 😆 congratulations!

😂 so glad! I've locked the others away though. Literally just peeing my money away now.

@Peonies94 how're you? Has the spotting stopped?

@Onebabyandamadcat yayy!! I thought your line was really pink to have not pregnant! When’s your due date? My spotting has stopped! It was only a little bit so I’m praying I don’t see anymore now 🤞! I could really do without the stress of that!!

I'm so glad your spotting has stopped! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. It's horrible to have spotting - it starts to consume all your thoughts!

So did I - I thought my test was looking really strong. I was so chuffed and hopeful that this is a sticky bean after my losses. Seeing "not pregnant" was such a shock. I'm so glad I checked again.

According to my calculator I'm due the 7th of Feb but DD was ten days late (after 41 hours of active labour 🙄) so I wouldn't be surprised if it's later. Lots of hurdles to clear before then though, trying to not even think about that yet - I just want a good viability scan just now 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Congratulations to all of you! I've been lurking for a week after getting a clear positive test on CD24 last Tuesday and really not believing it for a few days. Missed period at the weekend and progressively darker tests so think I must have ovulated seriously early in my cycle. Due date 2nd or 3rd February but will likely have a c section scheduled for mid January due to previous birth complications. Third pregnancy but second living child hopefully (our DS2 only lived in NICU for 72 hours a little over a year ago). Trying to remain cautiously calm whilst having a positive mindset that that this might actually be happening and the rollercoaster we've got ahead of us. I have zero symptoms now at just over 4 weeks and honestly wouldn't know I was pregnant apart from positive tests and missed period. Anyone else similar? I remember feeling rough right from the start in previous pregnancies.

Congratulations all, can I tentatively join?!

Just got a BFP yesterday....baby no. 2!

I am so tired! It's hit me like a brick wall this afternoon. Barely keeping my eyes open to focus on what I'm doing at work 🥱🥱
Didn't expect to be this tired this early - I'm only 3 weeks and I had a good nights sleep last night!

@WingingIt09 ME TOO. That bone crushing tiredness has kicked in today. I have to go to a networking dinner tonight (that I can't even drink at) and all I want to do is sleep.

Congrats to everyone so far!

@ceebee21 were you a feb 19 mum???

I didn’t get loads of tiredness last time (although I have a condition that causes fatigue so am quite careful with how much I do/am used to the feeling maybe) but did get a tonne of nausea. Definitely been feeling dizzy/lightheaded and general CBA to move though.

@roarfeckingroarr I don't think the caffeine withdrawal will be helping me either 🙈 usually have several cups of tea a day and today I've only had decaf

@WingingIt09 you can get half caf coffee (there’s a company called bad hands coffee that do a nice one and their decaf is nice too). I’m allowing myself two cups of half caf a day so 1 coffee total. There’s loads of good decafs around these days but still definitely feeling the loss of the caffeine!

I already get super tired around DDs bedtime and today has been torturous. Got a feeling she’s not going to sleep either.

Thanks, that's a great idea for coffee drinkers. I'm more of a tea drinker and I don't mind decaf tea so just sticking to that most days so I can still have Pepsi. I just miss the caffeine 😂😂

Me! According to various apps should be due 6th Feb. Had a chemical recently though so not sure how confident I'm feeling! First baby so excited but equally terrified/wondering what on earth we are doing

Struggling so hard to cut down on caffeine. I'm a tea drinker, most days that's all I drink! Does anybody know if I switch to decaf if I should still watch how much I'm drinking? I am trying to drink water but I'm not a lover of cold drinks generally.

I don't think I can wait until 12 weeks (all being well) to tell anyone. We plan to tell my DS first, then parents, then everyone else as and when it happens. I haven't contacted GP yet so still have that to do next week

Does anyone else suffer with cramping?

With my first child I got really painful cramping, a lot worse then period pains where you can't talk due to the pain that would come and go. The doctors gave me no answers and it eventually disappeared around 6 weeks.

I feel like I'm having a milder version of this. Cramping and lower back pain, wakes me up in the night. I'm currently lying in bed with a hot water bottle on my stomach unable to sleep. It never lasts more than 10-15 Minutes but each time it convinces me something bad is happening

we have a Facebook group for feb 2023 mums - whoever wants to join who hasn't done so already, let me know and I'll send you the link as tbe group is private

Could I have the link please?
