Hi all,
I’ve been lurking the past week and just wanted to say huge congratulations to those excited! Also how it must be so worrying for those experiencing bleeding and uncertainty, sending warm thoughts!
I was on holiday last week with my folks, expected my period, super bloated, moody, pain in my back and abdomen. After a few days thinking “today must be the day” I finally bought 2 tests covertly from a supermarket in the next town (difficult when shopping with folks!), got home (Monday) and had an immediate positive, really strong.
Showed my partner who seemed excited. Did the next test the following day (Tuesday) and again it was immediate +
I’m worried as this would be my first, I’m almost mid-thirties, and before the BFP we’d been drinking etc.,. (Family holiday!).
Luckily I could blame the heatwave for not wanting to drink the rest of the week, but they might have their suspicions… Don’t want to tell people until I’m at least seen by a midwife.
First day of my last period was July 6th so apparently I’m 5 weeks. My DP seems happy and we’ve already been making jokes about “the baby” and coming up with names… Hard not to jump the gun!
I’m effing knackered, have had periodic headaches (could be caffeine withdrawal?), pain in my abdomen that sounds like round ligament pain, plus my back. My boobs are sore which doesn’t happen for me normally in my cycles.
No nausea but I am craving eggs like a fiend (been vegan over a decade 🫠).
Anyway, all that to say, it’s highly likely I’m pregnant at the moment and if all goes well my
due date is April 14th!!!
Wishing everyone luck and hugs and thank you for letting me join this journey with you while I only have DP IRL to fret to 😅
