February 2024

[Hrps]

It's very early days but I suspect there are some new BFP's meaning we'd be due in February. I'm 4 weeks today so super early. Anyone with me? Has anyone got any early pregnancy symptoms?

This is a good idea
Age: 32
Baby number: #2
Estimated weeks: 6+6 (DD is 13 months)
Current symptoms: cramping, tiredness and back pain
Current feelings: Just trying to go with the flow and not worry as much as I did with my first, with my first I didn’t enjoy the pregnancy because I was so stressed out. Also, fingers crossed I am one of those blessed ones that has no nausea during pregnancy. I had none with my daughter.

~Age: 42 years young
~Baby number: 4
I have had a number of early miscarriages / chemical pregnancies in the past.
Ds1 21, DD 16, DS2 7
~Estimated weeks: 5 was 4 days
~Current symptoms: stretching aches, tiredness, heavy boobs (not sore)
~Current feelings: anxious!! Unplanned (but very welcomed) pregnancy. Lack of symptoms considering I had hyperemisis before is worrying me.
Also worried as I've had 3x sections and was told my uterus is thin after last one. However, also trying to be positive as it's been a long time since my last C-section and things can heal.
Also acutely aware that all pregnancies are different so the lack or symptoms (and how early in) could all be relevant.

~Age: 38
~Baby number:1
~Estimated weeks:5weeks
~Current symptoms: tiredness and cramping
~Current feelings: Not having a clue where to start with EPU/Doctors. I travel a lot for work, how to manage that these next few weeks whilst I feel utterly exhausted. Excited and want to tell the world but trying to remain cautious! It’s hard 😂

Age: 38
Baby number: 2
Est weeks: 6+4
Current symptoms: nausea, tiredness, weeing through the night, light-headedness
Feelings: just so nervous. Thought I'd be more relaxed this time around as I've had a successful pregnancy inbetween but I'm not. Also very nervous for how to cope at work and on the commute with feeling sick- I'm not at all good at feeling or being sick

Nice idea!

~Age: 31
~Baby number: 2
~Estimated weeks: 5+0
~Current symptoms: Tiredness
~Current feelings: Just trying not to be as anxious as I was in my last pregnancy! Caring for an existing baby makes for a nice (albeit bloody exhausting) distraction

~Age: 34
~Baby number: 1
~Estimated weeks: 6+4
~Current symptoms: Slightly nauseous (could be in my head) and slightly achey boobs
~Current feelings: ivf baby following mmc in January so pretty anxious! Got a scan booked for 8weeks to hopefully see heartbeat and know things are progressing well.

~Age: 25
~Baby number: 3
~Estimated weeks: 6 weeks
~Current symptoms: Nausea and tiredness
~Current feelings: Excited for private scan a week on Friday 🥳

~Age: 33
~Baby number: 2
~Estimated weeks: 5+1
~Current symptoms: Tiredness, the odd bout of nausea, the odd cramping + wanting to eat beige food all day.
~Current feelings: soo anxious. Got my 3+ on digital yesterday and have another one left that I have thrown out because I am torturing myself testing every day. Have an early scan booked for next Friday and if all is well we are telling both set of granparents that weekend and were going to put dd (14 months) in a promoted to big sis tshirt and let them catch on but anxiety and the almost certainty that this is too good to be true is stopping me buying one :(

@mumtotwox thats the day of our private scan too🤞🏼♥️

@PeeBeee defo throw away! I got my 3+ on Friday then stupidly did my last test on Saturday which was a 2-3!! Now worrying and anxious and wish I'd never done it.

I have an NHS scan on Saturday - I'll be 6+2

@GeriatricMumma why do we do it to ourselves?! I have, I am really not coping well with anxiety this time round, I was so zen with dd in the first trimester! I have never suffered a loss - this is my 2nd pregnancy and I know I am so so lucky but I feel because I haven’t then I am inevitably going to lose this baby! (This is our 2nd and last baby so to never have to go through that when so many people do almost seems like I couldn’t be that lucky)

~Age: 29
~Baby number: 1
~Estimated weeks: 5 1/2 ish
~Current symptoms: some cramping on and off. Seemed to be there for between weeks 3-4 (thought it was period pains), settled, now re-appearing. This causes me worry but seems to be quite a common symptom on here. Have been super tired this weekend but also hard to tell if it’s a) adding back in piriton for hay fever, b) because I had a busier week than usual. Over-analysis is the theme!
~Current feelings: excitement interspaced with periods of worry. Trying not to get carried away with dreaming about the next few years! Have a private scan booked for the 8th July

What a great idea!

~Age: 33
~Baby number: 2
~Estimated weeks: 5+3
~Current symptoms: mild cramping and Fatigue
~Current feelings - slightly bemused as this is a very happy surprise. Far more anxious second time round and feel more conflicted. DS1 is due to start school this September so the thought of starting all over again is kind of overwhelming but at the same time I couldn't be happier.

Age: 38
~Baby number: 1 ( 1 prev loss in March this year)
~Estimated weeks: 6 + 1
~Current symptoms: Fatigue (could sleep all day) waves of nausea and tender boobs
~Current feelings: very nervous after previous loss at 11 weeks, trying to stay positive and 🤞🏽 If I get to 12+ weeks I might relax a small bit. Early scan week 8-9 due to prev loss. Time is going very slow

Hi everybody!

~Age: 32
~Baby number: 2 🤞🏼
~Estimated weeks: from LMP 7+6 but my PCOS means ovulation is erratic, I have a feeling I’m only 5+6. Scan this Friday hope to get some clarity.
~Current symptoms: really tired and so bloated it’s crazy. Extra emotional too.
~Current feelings: Really happy but really overwhelmed, disbelief, so many emotions. Just want the first 12 weeks to zoom by in a sense, because the waiting and uncertainty is a little bit stressful.

hope everyone else is doing ok 💕 Xx

Love this idea!

~Age: 36 (2 days ago!)
~Baby number: 1 (1 loss in January)
~Estimated weeks: 7+6
~Current symptoms: sore/sensitive nipples, lower back pain, tired in the afternoon, hungry all the time, might feel nauseous but not sure if I'm imaging it mainly when I've not eaten.
~Current feelings: A crucial point as this day last time was the 2nd day of the beginning of the loss. So I'll be relieved if I make it to 8 weeks tomorrow when I have my booking in appointment. Just had a lovely birthday weekend away so I'm feeling chilled but like many the previous loss is always in the back of my mind. Also worried about lack of symptoms but feeling reassured after reading I'm not alone.

Hi @Mangotango39 !

~Age: 34
~Baby number: 1
~Estimated weeks: 7+5 weeks
~Current symptoms: horrid nausea, sore breasts, tiredness, period like cramps and aversion to anything with diary.
~Current feelings: reassured now I’ve had a early scan and seen the heartbeat (it feels more real now). My husband is a twin and we have twins in our family so I was nervous it would be twins but just one on the sonogram. Feel like I have to let people know soon because the symptoms are just too obvious to hide. Hoping that nausea subsides because it is by the far the worse symptom and affecting my daily life.

Good idea @Mangotango39

~Age: 34
~Baby number: 1 (1 previous MMC)
~Estimated weeks: 7+1
~Current symptoms: Fatigue, sore breasts, some pinching-type feelings, wouldn't call them cramps
~Current feelings: Anxious, although interspersed with tiny flickers of excitement. My last pregnancy that ended in MMC was with my ex husband, who (I now realise) was not right for me and I would have been miserable raising a child with him. New pregnancy, new partner...just trying to take it one day at a time! Scan on Thursday evening which I am terrified about and expect I'll burst into tears before I even get in the door, but I'd rather know if anything has gone wrong sooner rather than later.

@moosey89 I am also scan on Thursday 🙏we've got this!!! Maybe no sleep on Wednesday but still! 😁

Your cramps kind of sound similar to mine. They seem to start afternoon and are like pinching like you say. Very weird sensation. Nothing I have ever felt previously I don't believe and just started since friday.

@GoneAway227 was everything okay yesterday xxx

Is anyone else super cranky? I’ve been really angry and snappy all day…but then have moments of being super mushy and sentimental. I’m usually neither hahaha

@Mangotango39 ah good luck! Mine is in the evening but I might see if my other half can sneak out of work at lunch so I don't have to wait all day overthinking things!!

Absolutely. I find it hard to keep up with it myself let other people knowing which me they’re going to get 😂

@Mangotango39 @moosey89 oooh my scan is also on Thursday! How exciting 😊
However I’m only 5+5 today and will be just 6 weeks on Thursday however as we have gone through IVF and I’ve had pain on my left hand side they have booked me in for an early scan.
