Due October 2023 - thread 3

[Soda123x]

Hi everyone the thread seemed to fill up fast.
Here's a new one to keep us going ❤ xx

Currently 6+2 think due 23rd October #2
No major symptoms apart from tonight I have extreme restless leg syndrome and insomnia 🙈 xx

@ukMummyof1 im around 5+5 and I’ve only really got fatigue aswell, I find I get super tired but up at the crack of dawn. My skin has also started to take a beating 😿

@iloveeggs good luck 😊

I’m 7+4 I had an early scan last week , I could see the heartbeat . This is my second pregnancy and i’m finding it so much harder than with my 3.5yr old DD . i am nauseated , exhausted and really sore boobs! Last time i felt a bit tired and the odd bit of nausea x

@pepika @iloveiloveeggs thanks so much for your advice ladies, I feel so much better about it now. I'm just gonna try and relax and just trust my body is doing what it needs to do to have a healthy baby 🙏✨ I feel like pregnancy is purely an initiation test for a lifetime of crippling anxiety 🤣

@babyg2loading congratulations lovely!! You must be over the moon! 💕

Has anyone found their scalp is really dry? 🤣

My skin has become much dryer these past few weeks, which I’ve just changed moisturisers…, but what can I do about my scalp? It’s so dry and flaky and has never been like this before

@FirstTimeMamaB absolutely delighted - can relax for a day or two now haha 😂

@Soda123x thanks for the new thread!

@VictoriaBlossom my Pooch has got more snuggly and affectionate too. He's a big goofy Golden Retriever and with my first pregnancy he loved snuggling up to my bump. The fact he's started resting with his head in my lap again is giving me confidence that all is progressing ok!

@iloveeggs thinking of you - hope it's going ok!

Only 5+2 here and feeling like it's taking forever to get through this first bit of pregnancy! Bit more tired and hungry but not really any other symptoms yet.

Hi All, cautiously joining as a first timer here.
im 5weeks + 2. due 30th October (according to Dr, so likely to be more beginning of November)
found out over the weekend, and still getting over this amazing news…
how are you all coping with the anxiety? I’m nervous and anxious with Every little twinge I worry. Not to mention I’m an extremely impatient person. It doesn’t help that I have slight implementation bleeding since Saturday too.
symptoms are extreme exhaustion, and headaches.

sending all the hugs and prays to us all growing our families ❤️

So I had a scan at EPU today due to a previous ectopic. I am 5+5 today and they could see the gestational sac and yolk sac but no embryo just yet. I'm hoping it's just a little bit too early. Has anyone been in this boat? Im booked to go back in 2 weeks for another scan but I don't know if I can wait that long. May look into a private scan in the interim.

Feel like I'm struggling to keep up with the group. I'm so sick I barely even go on my phone to check it 😫 how's everyone doing?

@SnookyPook my in laws have a lab, hes SO in tune. he doesnt really bother with me when i go to visit. but both times ive been pregnant he just lays by my feet and looks into my soul when i talk to him. these canine friends are the bestesttttt

@ttcttc no throwing up yet but major nausea over the last week but I keep ginger biscuits with me. Eat some as soon as I open my eyes and whenever I’m in the car etc. I’m finding that I feel more sick when I’m hungry so just constantly eating atm!

I also normally have a very sweet tooth but I am craving everything salty/savoury

@BabyG2loading Congrats, this is fantastic!
@VictoriaBlossom your dog is so cute. Mine doesn't seem to care how I'm doing at all hahaha.

@cruciverbalista thank you 😊

All good news from me, could see the little heartbeat flickering away and everything is looking normal. I'm measuring at 6+5 so just one day off what the apps predicted. I feel so much better now and I can enjoy my holiday without the anxiety I felt.

@hipposinacircle I was kind of the same, I had a scan at 5+4 due to suspected ectopic and they could just see the sac, yolk sac and embryo but no heartbeat. I had my second scan today 8 days later and everything is normal and heartbeat is there and strong so try not to panic, as hard as it is. you're more than likely just a little earlier than expected and it's too early to see 💕

I'm really struggling with smells, cigarettes are absolutely dreadful!
Going out is horrible because everywhere stinks! 😞

@iloveeggs that’s lovely news - glad all went well. 🤩

@Pregnancychatter there was someone outside tescos smoking when I took my toddler in earlier / got a big cloud all in my face and I couldn’t help but do a noisy retch! I’m sure he thought I was making a point 😂

just going into the supermarket and having to look at all the food makes me feel so unwell.

Does anyone else find driving really triggers the nausea? I only usually get a bit of travel sickness when I’m not driving but even a short drive makes me feel so queasy now.

I’m 8 weeks 3 days today so really hoping I’ve only got a few weeks left of this sickness hell.

@iloveeggs thank you for reassuring me. So pleased all went well for you today.

@iloveeggs excellent news. Congratulations xx

@cruciverbalista aw thank you, she was the cutest little puppy when she chose us. She's really well behaved so I am very grateful for her behaviour.

@iloveeggs I am so glad for you. i have 2 weeks to wait and its just going so slowly! have you gone for a private scan or is it an nhs reassurance?

@iloiloveeggs so happy for you mama, relax and enjoy now!! 💕

@iloveeggs 🤍🤍🤍 such lovely news. Enjoy your holiday.

Thanks all 💞

@VictoriaBlossom It was through the EPU, not private, as they suspected ectopic at the start.
