Anyone else due Feb 2023

[Eagtess3]

Is anyone else due February 2023. How are you all feeling ?

Me too!! I am 7 weeks today. First pregnancy and I’m so anxious. We fell pregnant really quickly after only 3 months trying- despite my reduced follicle count. I had early scan and I saw the heartbeat 💗 I am how ever freaking out after eating a supermarket sandwich with halloumi in it……

@Ballyboo1986 omg 23 weeks 😩 that's awful. How did you get through it

Lots of cariban (so expensive in Ireland 😭) and sleep! I mostly ate rich tea biscuits, noodles, and bread. Lost just over a stone up to then. 'luckily' covid hit and I was moved to WFH. I don't know what I would have done. This time I have a nearly 2 year old and my job is more high stress, but at least WFH full time! I am dreading it... hopefully won't hit as hard.

Hi, anyone else experienced back pains at 6 weeks? Or feel really blergh like u would before you get a period?

Hi everyone we had a scare with a bleed . Epu were brilliant. Measuring at around 5/6 weeks and we saw the heartbeat . How is everyone doing

Had a private scan yesterday! I had one at 6 weeks at epu due to fainting but Yesterday I had another and all was growing okay at 8 weeks! Just to wait 4 weeks for my 12 week scan now, which seems forever away!!

@blibbyblobb yesh I had terrible cramps around 5-6 weeks, they have eased now and I’ve got sickness instead but they were really painful!

Thank you for replying.. Yesterday i had pink spotting then dark red with cramps. Trying to get through to GP to refer to EPU. Im glad to read all is ok with you

Thanks so much @RadicalSoul ! I think I can probably wait until the 11-12 week scan since I'm healthy and haven't had any miscarriages (that I'm aware of).

I'm turning 35 this year and am feeling VERY nervous about the increased risks associated with my age. Is anyone else in this boat, or have experience navigating a "geriatric" (ugh) pregnancy?

YES @lindenc I'm 37 and this is my first. I had an early scan on Saturday and baby was measuring 8 weeks, i thought only 7+3. It definitely reassured me. My NHS scan isn't until 13 weeks, so i couldn't wait that long. I have my first midwife appt this afternoon too, very nervous to be called a geriatric as i still feel about 18 in my head... at least you won't get called geriatric until you turn 35!!😂
Iv had nausea, extremely sore boobs from week 3 and still got them, extreme fatigue, bad belly, mood swings and just generally feel like crap! Was going the gym every morning before work but haven't been for over a week now

Oh and bad cramps for about 3 weeks which have finally subsided now!

Oh gosh catching up with so many messages!

@maggiebun glad your early scan went well! How did your midwife appt go today?

I am 7+2 today and have my first midwife appt tomorrow afternoon!

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could help I want to know how a 28 and a 32 day cycle can affect the stages in pregnancy.

I have a 32 day cycle and believe I am 6+1 days. I had an early scan yesterday and a yolk sac and gestational sac was present. The nurse said it's very normal as my cycle length is slightly longer. They will rescan me again next week.

Thanks

@S0220 ok I think. Just about 100 questions asked about family history, my health, did bloods etc. Told me because I’m geriatric, overweight (not by much) and my father has diabetes, that I’ll get more scans to see that the baby is growing at the correct pace

Hi can I join? I got my positive on the 15th and am due 28th feb. It'll be my third but first with my current partner. We've booked a viability scan at 7 weeks 2 days as he really wants to see something before the 12 week. Has anyone else had one of these?

Due date buddies ☺️

Thanks @maggiebun !
Are they able to do any tests/screenings at a 7 week scan, or is it just to see if things are looking generally on track?

It’s so great to hear from so many people at a similar stage!
Is anyone else experiencing some lightheadedness or dizziness? Mine has felt constant for the past few days- not sure if it’s low blood pressure….feel woozy, almost like I’ve had a few drinks!

@Dani1996 I've had a little of that but I think it's mostly due to not eating very much. Have you been eating okay?

@MummaDee1 been eating regularly (possibly a little too regularly 😂) and drinking plenty of water so I’m not sure why it’s happening!

@Dani1996 jealous 😂😂 I've not had a proper dinner in two weeks! 😩 how far along are you?

@MummaDee1 oh no! Can’t stomach it at the min? I’ll be 7 weeks tomorrow, how about you? I’m just hoping the next few weeks goes as quick as possible to the 12 week scan 😂

@Dani1996 yes to dizziness! I was tidying up yesterday and literally had to lay down on the floor for 15 mins to keep from falling over.

@Dani1996 I'm almost 8 weeks now, can't stomach much at the moment feeling nauseous all day. GP prescribed some medication so I've not been since yesterday which I'm thrilled about! Yes roll on 12 week scan ☺️

I should be 8 weeks and a bit now. Did a scan last week and it all looked good including heart beat but I really don’t feel safe about it at all, likely just because of my previous mc experience :-/

Symptoms are also bit strange. Have random shooting pains in my abdomen that go away really quickly. Mostly when I get up from bed or turn in a certain way. Didn’t have two the last two times but I’m further along now. I’m queasy but not quite nauseous which I suppose is pretty good. Generally veeeery thirsty all the time and when I’m not concentrating (I.e. reading a book or working) I could literally sleep all day I feel so tired!

how is everyone else doing?
