Hey,

I am currently 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I have booked for an early private scan this Sunday 29th, just want to check everything is going well.

Anyone else due around the same time? How have you been feeling.

I feel tired, peeing a lot more. Boobs were sore but bit better now.

look forward to your responses x

Hiya

I'm 7 weeks today and feel like I have a constant hangover .ive been I'll this week no energy and sleeping about 3/hours a day sickness feeling comes and goes boobs are killing and constant headaches 😭

Moosh18 · 27/05/2022 08:41

Hey! I'm 8 weeks today, apart from tiredness I feel nothing! No sore boobs or sickness! I had scan yesterday to confirm all was okay, I feel totally fine! With my daughters I was so so so sick I was hospitalised! Maybe this is a boy?!!

I am 7+2/6+6 today (not sure how they are going to officially date it yet as my last bleed was a loss) and I feel constantly hungover.
Boobs are sore on and off. I'm shattered and just want to sleep. I feel constantly sickly hungry and my belly is so bloated and uncomfortable.
Had a scan yesterday and everything was great. Baby measured 6+4 yesterday and good heartbeat. Not officially joining a January due date group until I get past my previous miscarriage dates.

Good luck for the scan Sunday xx

I’m similar, 7+3 officially today but think I ovulated early so more like 7+5. I’m tired, boobs have been sore since 5 weeks but easing off slightly this week. Nausea since 6 weeks which is pretty much constant. Only been sick once but feel like I have a hangover all the time. Eating seems to help for a bit but I really don’t want to put unnecessary weight on as I’m 38 and already overweight so worried about pre eclampsia and gestational diabetes as it is. Have first midwife appt in an hour (must get ready instead of scrolling Mumsnet!) and then have our private early scan at 6pm tonight. Feeling positive about it as I have symptoms and I know that’s a good sign. Just hoping I’m not going to get an awful shock that something isn’t right. Counting away the days to 12 weeks. Good luck everyone!

@JenniferR2021 Congratulations. Is this your first baby? I don’t really seem to have many symptoms now. My boobs were so sore but that has eased.

@Moosh18 Congratulations, aw I bet that was lovely having the scan. I can not wait for mine on Sunday. It’s so strange how symptoms can be different. I have 2 boys and had terrible morning sickness with both. I have nothing with this one. Fingers crossed for a girl ❤️

@PeanuttyButter Congratulations, so sorry to hear about your previous loss. It must be so difficult for you to feel excited. So happy you saw baby and the heart beat. I will keep everything crossed for you that you have a very healthy pregnancy and baby x

@Pheepa congratulations, I completely understand how you feel about being overweight. This worries me so much and developing these problems. Trying to eat clean and healthy but sometimes it’s hard. Wishing you the best for your scan this evening. Please let us know how it goes! Very exciting x

@Soontobmumof3 I have 2 older kids teenagers lol I had a miscarriage in November and march😢 .ive been feeling ill this time but ive woke up today with no symptoms and feel absolutely fine 😧 n am worried sick I did have 10/hours sleep so hoping it's just that x

Yellowflower123 · 27/05/2022 11:09

I know the feeling!

I'm 7 weeks too with no symptoms, other than I'm really tired in the evenings. But normally am anyway! Thinking I might have an early scan to put my mind at ease

Pheepa · 27/05/2022 13:02

Midwife appt went well. My blood pressure was on the lower side of normal so that’s good for me and gives me some wriggle room. Due to age, BMI (32) and a high blood pressure after birth in my last 2 pregnancies they have advised 150mg aspirin every night. I’m pleased there’s a plan to hopefully lower my preeclampsia risk. My older 2 children are 12 and nearly 10 so it’s been a long time since I’ve done any of this! Will update after scan tonight!

@JenniferR2021 aw I am really sorry to hear that. Wow how old are they. I have a 10 year old and 8 year old. Are we crazy starting again lol!
I think you probably just did yourself the world of good with the 10 hour sleep!

@Yellowflower123 yeah I’m getting tired in the evenings and that is really unlike me! Usually I have to force my self to sleep. Aw yeah deffo, I can’t wait to have my scan.

@Pheepa I am so glad the midwife appointment went well. I have mine on Tuesday. Good about your blood pressure. I am sure I will need the aspirin too as my doctor had mentioned this. Due to my BMI. Can’t wait to hear how tour scan went x

@Pheepa hoe did the scan go? X

All great on the scan. Yolk sac and baby seen. Heartbeat seen but they didn’t mention bpm. Measuring 16mm, 8+1. LMP date was 7+3 and I thought 7+5 by ovulation pain so we’ll see what 12 week scan says! Feels good to be have seen heartbeat and to be told I’m potentially over 8 weeks !

@Pheepa aw that is amazing! I am so glad everything went well for you. I can imagine how good that feels. Now to the 12 week scan x

Thanks so much! Good luck to everyone. Nice to ‘meet’ people at a similar stage, especially 2 expecting their 3rds with older kids too!!

Moosh18 · 28/05/2022 07:07

Has anyone else been getting pulling pains or mild cramps? It kind of feels like tugging or achey cramps, I've not had anything in weeks!!

JenniferR2021 · 28/05/2022 08:17

My kids are 16and 13 🙈

Moosh18 · 28/05/2022 08:21

Mine are 15 and 1!!! 😂😂😂😂

Pheepa · 28/05/2022 09:02

@Moosh18 i have mild pain on and off but think it’s more wind/bloating/constipation related than uterine cramps. Think cramping in the first trimester is really common though

Pheepa · 29/05/2022 13:37

Good luck with the scan @Soontobmumof3

Hey all, scan went really well today. Saw baby heartbeat! I was so nervous before my appointment. Was just thinking the worst!
But all was great and everything looks perfect!
Now for the 12 week scan xxx

Pheepa · 30/05/2022 08:20

@Soontobmumof3 great news! Did the scan confirm your dates? Did they measure the heart rate? Realised afterwards mine didn’t mention it, just said it was there and everything was fine. Maybe they only mention if it’s outside normal range?

Moosh18 · 30/05/2022 08:42

@Soontobmumof3 so pleased all went well!!!

@Pheepa they said mine had a strong heartbeat and I asked the rate! As wanted to test the theory of boy ot girl! I don't think they'd of told me if I hadn't asked xx

Pheepa · 30/05/2022 08:43

Thanks @Moosh18 i might email and ask if it was measured

Moosh18 · 30/05/2022 08:51

Has anyone got an upset stomach? TMI but I've had an upset stomach since I found out! Some days it's quite bad! X

JenniferR2021 · 30/05/2022 08:52

Aww amazing news

PeanuttyButter · 30/05/2022 11:28

@Moosh18 my stomach has been awful, was up on the loo all last night and about a week before that too.
