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?

@FrostedFlake good luck for Thursday! Just remember when it's early you might not see much, and that's ok. Hope you get a good outcome though x

GeriatricMumma · 26/06/2023 17:03

@FrostedFlake I've got mine on Saturday (NHS) scan and I'll be 6+2, I've had scans this early before xx

Un7breakable · 26/06/2023 17:26

Oh god, the morning sickness has kicked in at 5+5. The only time I haven't felt sick today is when I've been eating. 🤢 Not that I'm complaining - very glad to be pregnant just didn't realise how queasy morning sickness makes you

GeriatricMumma · 26/06/2023 17:31

I wish I felt sick, I'm so worried about lack of symptoms

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

I've been horrendous to be around 😂

My symptoms have gone other than being so tired and I saw the heartbeat at the weekend. Still early so got time for things to start back up again

Hello all.

found out I was pregnant on Saturday after a positive OPK randomly causing me to test late into my cycle! Did a test and strong positive came up. It is my first positive and first baby.

I believe my due date is 29th February 2023.

I would really appreciate joining in this chat, bit of support because my anxiety has kicked in and my emotions are everywhere! Be nice to have others going through the same thing.

@GeriatricMumma I was thinking the same thing a few days ago. Be careful what you wish for.

Mangotango39 · 26/06/2023 22:38

Is anyone having crazy dreams??? Mine are all pregnancy related but then really mad and sometimes horrific circumstances or situations happening. It's horrid when I wake up and remember what I have saw!

permanentlyshattered1 · 27/06/2023 04:12

Hi,

Can I join please?
I'm 8+5 with my 2nd baby. Ds is 2. My Edd is 1st Feb. Burying my head in the sand with this pregnancy, can't quite get my head around it and I have no idea why. I'm booked in for the booking appointment this Saturday and have booked a private scan for next week but my 12 week nhs scan has had to be moved back a week as we'll be on our first family holiday (and maybe last as a family of 3).

~Age: 29
~Baby number: 2
~Estimated weeks: 8+5
~Current symptoms: very bloated and finding it hard to hide. Sore boobs and feeling sick. I have only been sick twice last week but was travelling with work so guessing it was a mix of nausea from pregnancy and nausea from travel sickness. No food is appealing to me and chocolate makes me feel really sick. Haven't struggled with sleeping this pregnancy until tonight (hence posting at 4am after being awake for 2 hours)
~Current feelings: really tired and a bit anxious. I don't usually have anxiety but I follow someone on Instagram who just found out that she had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks so I have booked a private scan to try and calm my nerves. I also feel quite guilty as I hated being pregnant last time - found out I was pregnant a month before lockdown so my whole pregnancy was during covid. Trying to convince myself that I'll enjoy being pregnant this time around but I just don't feel like me.

Haha yes true!

Terrible insomnia last night; woke up at 1am and couldn't get back to sleep for hours.

@permanentlyshattered1

it will be ok don’t worry.
My sister had her first pregnancy during lockdown and she was quite depressed from it, I can only imagine how isolating it must of felt. Once you get past the 12 week hurdle and hopefully when the heat stops being so intense it might feel a bit better.

im 8+3 and hating life. Can’t sleep. Can’t eat. Sick all the time. Not enjoying it. I have 2 kids to look after already and my partner doesn’t live me and is being. Typical ducking man. I could really do with more of his support right now.

with my first baby I struggled to be happy because I found out a few days before my friend died so I was trying to conceal my grief all pregnancy then suffered with a great deal of depression once baby was born (abusive partner also but I didn’t see this at the time)

my second pregnancy was a girl and it wasn’t really so bad I wasn’t much Ill and just got on with it!!!

every pregnancy is different.

I feel like I’ve just vented now 🤣

for my first midwife appointment this morning. (Think my partner has forgotten but I’m pissed at him so I’m not reminding him)

@MummyTo4BoysXXXX wow, that is my cats name now! He’s a fluffy tabby and sort of my first baby the way he acts! I’m new to mumsnet so hope I’ve added myself to the list okay.

My last period was 22nd may 2023 and I found out I was pregnant on the Saturday just gone. My test said 2-3 weeks when I did a digital. My average cycle is 31 days. I think 29th feb is right but there’s some difference online !

Kiwiburgh · 27/06/2023 07:26

Hcg levels 20th June- 3700
Levels today 27th June- 20100

Midwife is happy with the rise but I can't help but worry it hasn't doubled every 48hrs.

Kiwiburgh · 27/06/2023 07:28

I should add the 1st is 5+3 and other 6+3

DmcinT · 27/06/2023 07:32

@Kiwiburgh that’s great to get them checked for piece of mind. In fairness online it does say they double every 48-72 hrs so ur right on track for that ❤️

i can’t rem now if anyone on here took progesterone too but just wondering if u noticed getting hives from taking it? I don’t know if they are little bits away on holiday, I think they are more like hives, anyone any experience?

GeriatricMumma · 27/06/2023 07:33

@Kiwiburgh is that right 6+3, I'm due 21/2 and I'm only 5 + 4 today xx
