Can I jump in here? I got my BFP on Wednesday, going by my apps I'd be due 29th May!

wonderfulworld33 · 16/09/2022 07:02

Hi girls,

I am
5 weeks 2 days - due 17th May.
Feeling anxious as started by feeling sicky and now I feel like symptoms are easing off... anyone else had this? Fingers crossed all is ok! This is our first 🤞

Laura993 · 16/09/2022 09:42

@wonderfulworld33 I know exactly how you feel. This is our first also and I am worried at how good I feel! Apart from my breasts hurting in bed sometimes and the odd pulling sensation in my stomach I wouldn’t feel I was pregnant! Whilst when I found out I was really nauseous and just knew I was. It’s crazy isn’t it?!

Hi everyone, sorry long time no post for me but just wanted to update the girls who remember me - after 2 weeks of random bleeding, ectopic scares, multiple scans and bloods we lost our baba 😢 I wish all you you a super happy and healthy 9 months or less now! , amazing news for those of you who had scans and are looking good! I've not had a chance to read through the thread so if there's anyone in my position I'm sorry 😢. Best of luck ladies I'll be thinking of you all! 🤞

AmericanGirl915 · 16/09/2022 10:59

@isitaline97 I am so so sorry, wishing you the very best and a very sticky bean soon! x

tiantian1005 · 16/09/2022 12:37

I would be the minority here in terms of telling work haha, I plan to tell them after 25 weeks - working from home full time so they probably wont see the bump. Part of it is because of the previous losses we had and I definitely do not want to have to tell people I lost my pregnancy; also some political situation going on as well so dont want people to know early.

tiantian1005 · 16/09/2022 12:38

@isitaline97
very very sorry to hear this, hope you are feeling better and be kind to yourself x

Snowflakes2 · 16/09/2022 12:43

I'm bleeding with cramps 😭

IWillBeWaxingAnOwl · 16/09/2022 12:56

@RugbyGirl1 I plan to tell my line manager and supervisor at 12 weeks then see if I can get away with everyone else until 20 given previous history.

Laura993 · 16/09/2022 13:13

@Snowflakes2 I’m so sorry, don’t be afraid to contact your GP. This happened to me in June and they referred me to EPU. Thinking of you 💜

CDR520 · 16/09/2022 13:13

5+3 today and the nausea has hit me something fierce. Been struggling today at work. Anyone have any suggestions that may help?

Snowflakes2 · 16/09/2022 13:26

Rang GP he says its a waiting game. If I stop or I'm spotting then I need to ring up on Tuesday and they will send me to EPU. In the meantime if I feel sick, severe cramps then I have to go to hospital.
Come home from work and scared to move.

Snowflakes2 · 16/09/2022 13:27

@Laura993 thank you! What happened if you don't mind me asking?

calipoppy · 16/09/2022 13:55

@Snowflakes2 I'm so sorry, such a scary time for you. Do you have anyone at home with you? Also might be worth contacting the EPU directly, some let you self refer x

Gizzy93 · 16/09/2022 13:56

Sorry to hear @Snowflakes2 I hope the bleeding stops for you

Laura993 · 16/09/2022 14:06

@Snowflakes2 I had a chemical pregnancy unfortunately but I knew something was wrong because the lines on my tests weren’t progressing and I had awful cramps. The pain was too bad for me to feel like the pregnancy was going well but here I am pregnant again and I feel good this time and hoping it will stick. I am
now over 6 weeks since LMP. Fingers crossed for you I hope everything is ok, I know bleeding is also common in early pregnancy and doesn’t always mean there is an issue.

Snowflakes2 · 16/09/2022 15:21

Thank you everyone and sorry to those that have been through the same.
I'm sat here just waiting, cramping is on and off and bleeding is light but turns the water red when I go for a wee and always there when I wipe.
It feels like a bad period, just not sure what to expect, am I gonna pass clots and bleed really heavy?
I'm devastated and heartbroken I know I was "only" 4 nearly 5 weeks but I was pregnant and felt pregnant and I stupidly got excited.😔

So sorry that you are going through this.
I completely know what you mean about being excited, you just can't help it. I really hope it's not too horrible for you and you are OK. Take care of yourself xxx

It sounds like we are in the same boat!!
I worry when the symptoms disappear and then feel sorry for myself when the arrive! I have the sore boobs and an occasional pinching sensation in my tummy but other than that OK at the moment.

RugbyGirl1 · 16/09/2022 21:16

@isitaline97 and @Snowflakes2 so sorry to hear what you're going through. Take care of yourselves 💐

@Laura993 and @wonderfulworld33 I'm 6 weeks today by LMP and have very few symptoms still. Sore boobs occasionally if I poke them enough but I was usually tired or hungry before pregnancy so no change there! No sickness or nausea.... How many weeks are you?

Thanks for your replies re work. I think I'll try and wait until 12 weeks scan but if I start getting sicknes I'll have to tell my manager earlier eep

Gizzy93 · 17/09/2022 03:25

I'm either 3w6d or 4wks today based on LMP. The nausea is so bad today! I feel so sick

EdinburghGirl1 · 17/09/2022 05:22

@isitaline97 I'm so sorry to hear this. Sounds like you've had a tough time of it

@RugbyGirl1 I won't be telling work until after my 12 week scan. Same as with my DD as it's an office role and mainly work from home so no issues.

@Snowflakes2 I hope all is ok for you.

5weeks 3 days so just behind you.
I also have sore boobs. And like you I was always tired and hungry anyway! I was strangely feeling sick the weekend we found out quite badly and then nothing major since then... waiting for that to kick back in!

Melusina123 · 17/09/2022 07:43

Morning everyone! 6+6 for me today, and the nausea hit about a week ago. No vomiting, but man I am sick of feeling queasy and tired. 😩 I know I should be grateful for the symptoms, but I don't know how people put up with this - and I've got it pretty mild I think!

Last weekend had sudden red bleeding and completely ruled myself out, but it faded to brown spotting and then had a scan on Monday that found a little blob with a heartbeat, bang on dates. ♥️ Now on progesterone. In general I wasn't planning to have a scan so early (was 6+1) but it is nice to know at least that the blob is in the right place and was doing OK as of Monday (though I'm all too aware that this can change).

@isitaline97 @Snowflakes2 I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through.💔 I've been there and it sucks. Look after yourselves.

Snowflakes2 · 17/09/2022 09:09

Thank you all it means a lot! I'm heartbroken if I'm honest, bleeding is thick this morning with hellish cramping.
I hope yous all go on to have happy healthy pregnancies 🧡
