Hello, I’m relatively new to mumsnet and not sure why I’m writing this. I guess I can’t get back to sleep and need some company/thoughts.
I have been feeling really strange for just over a week now. It began with dizziness last Wednesday which hasn’t left me. I have continued to have other symptoms as the weeks gone by including feeling hot, headaches and more recently slight nausea. The dizziness/mild nausea tends to increase during the evening time.
I put it down to Covid in the end as similar symptoms to last time.
Tonight, I awoke suddenly at 0230 with a huge urge to wee and wee’d a lot! I then noticed my areola’s looked odd, a different colour and some milk came out of nipples when squeezed (I stopped breast feeding my only child just under a year ago). My breasts also felt a bit heavier and firmer. I just felt weirdly pregnant! However, I’m 42 years old and my husband and I only had sex once this month, 13 days ago. This makes me think it’s unlikely. My period is due tomorrow/Saturday.
I have been feeling a little scared regarding why I’m feeling so unwell. I did do a pregnancy test 2 days ago but it was negative, a cheap one that’s supposed to be sensitive enough to test 6 days in advance.
I wonder if I could be pregnant? I feel afraid to test. My husband and I would like another child, were going to start trying in October. Although doubtful maybe considering my age.
I will update this when I know, for others who may be in a similar position.
Thanks for listening.
