New thread 😊

Thanks @KatY9876 thats a really good idea. As I’ve only had one miscarriage I wasn’t sure if I’d get an early scan on the NHS but it’s worth asking. I’ll contact them next week and see what they advise 😊

@Nmvasey85 @Bellabeemarie you guys have your hands full. Its tough but your cooking tiny humans.
I havnt felt the mum guilt yet. My boy is a teenager albeit we are very close. But I know thr guilt is coming. We have planned Chessington for his birthday and now I can't go on anything and I don't know wether to tell him the truth or pretend I'm to unwell- at which point I might be. I can't not go as its such a long travel and stop over too.

@MMM20 I would second the other advice I had a mmc earlier this year and had a scan at 5 weeks booked in for another 2 weeks and started on progesterone but I did have a bit of bleeding that's why I was seen so early and given the progesterone

Wow, impressed that you did track! I'm a runner too but have largely been avoiding track sessions atm as they make me feel faint. Managed a road race last weekend though and dithering about one this weekend. I ran up to around 35 weeks in my last pregnancy but it feels harder this time.

@EastCoastExile I was dizyyy afterwards, don't think ill go again. I had to stop at 20 weeks with 1st pregnancy 🥺 Going to do parkrun tomorrow with the buggy, but won't be attempting a PB.
Im finding cycling more enjoyable than running. If you have already entered the road race id go and run on feel. Im going to enter another Triathlon hopefully 🫢

Hi can I join? Just got my BFP yesterday and am 4w2d with my second! We've been trying for 18months and definitely still doesn't feel real. We got pregnant really quickly with my daughter so it taking longer this time was a bit hard going!

Massively. My 18MO is so full of energy and I’m just not being a great playmate at the moment 😅 I’m just hoping that this clears around weeks 12-14 like it did last time!

Hi all,

Nervously joining after a miscarriage in May. Think I’m now around the 7 week mark! Would anyone like to join a WhatsApp group? I joined one in my last pregnancy and found it really helpful :)

@blodyn91 sounds good! I ran a (cautious) marathon at around 16 weeks in my last pregnancy but am nowhere near that distance atm. I always think running while pregnant and buggy running should have their own distinct activity categories on Strava!

Hello. BFP with baby #2 a couple of days ago. Due in very late March!

Welcome @Mel1491 @AskAgathaIfSheWantsACupOfTea

Marking my spot again on the new thread!

Symptoms have hit hard today.. constantly nauseous, sore head and shattered. I didn't have anything with my first - is this pay back for having it so easy?

I'm only 4+2 so no mum guilt yet in terms of not having energy to do anything with my 3yo. (Though she's just broken up from preschool today, I chose a SPECTACULAR time to get pregnant and have the first trimester, didn't I?)

But the day I found out, I sobbed my eyes out with mum guilt, thinking how much her life is going to change, and also, irrationally, worrying about her if I died during childbirth.

Woke up the next day not feeling like that at all, think I was just a bit overwhelmed to get a BFP so quickly at my age and being a bit overweight. Expected it to take waaaay longer if I'm honest.

@EastCoastExile omg they should!!!
marathon at 16 weeks good going! I really hope I don't suffer tail bone pain this time round, but being realistic - I probably will

@AskAgathaIfSheWantsACupOfTea
wow some deep thoughts! but dying during pregnancy is this huge fear of mine too😭😭

I have zero toddler guilt. But also still got the enough energy really. Den building and read books and pretend sleep play are great 🫣

Hello! I had an early scan today. I thought I was 6+3 but I'm 7 weeks. Saw a little heart beat
I was a bit worried after because she said there's fluid outside the uterus and it could be blood. She also said the pregnancy is very close to my c section scar and she predicts a placenta previa. Fingers crossed it's all ok!

@AskAgathaIfSheWantsACupOfTea @blodyn91 I've also had that fear... 😭 I had it as soon as I gave birth and wanted another 😅 I think because I know I need a c section this time the risks feel higher!

@Nmvasey85 I have serious mum guilt. The TV has been on for hours today 😬 I just feel useless.

Welcome to all the newbies!! 💜 Congratulations!

Thanks for setting up the new thread… am 4 weeks plus 5 and vommed this morning but could have been due to a bad night’s sleep. Boobs very sore… nipples mega sensitive. Feeling in general like I want to be wrapped up in cotton wool 🥺

How is everyone else?

@WAC1 How wonderful you saw a little heartbeat 😍 I don't have much knowledge of this but hopefully it'll all be fine! Will you have another scan before 12 weeks? X

So I think I may be over thinking my BFP, I took a cheap sainsburys test and a clear blue digital yesterday, the cheap test only had a very faint line but the digital was positive. Today I've taken a first response test which is the same brand I used in my last pregnancy with DD 3 years ago. I remember I was about 13dpo when I tested with a first response test with DD daughter and the second line was really dark and clear, I'm not 14dpo with this pregnancy and my first response test isn't anywhere near as dark as it was with DD, am I just over thinking it? I've attached pick off my test from today, does this look like a good line for 14dpo?

I’ve actually submitted this as feedback to them before! I’d love to know my buggy running pbs without them getting lost in my (significantly easier) non buggy running stats.

Hi everyone, been following this thread as I’m due around 8th March with my second little one I think, so I’m around 7 weeks but not 100% sure on dates as I have irregular periods! Currently in first trimester anxiety phase where I’ve done about 30 tests all strong positives and still in disbelief despite the symptoms I’m having! Anyone else? 😂

I am so wiped out tonight. Have a 15 month old and feeling the guilt already about how much her little life will change.
Starting to feel a little nauseous as well and have a constant sore head. Just want to sleep for a week!

Hi everyone! I found out on Tuesday that I'm pregnant with my first! I think I'm around 7w+3 so will be due middle of March. Currently experiencing cramps, sore boobs and headaches but no nausea as of yet 🤞🏼 we haven't told anyone yet, for some reason I feel really nervous like it's not going to happen, but I'm booked in for my first appointment with the midwife on Monday so I'm hoping it will start to feel more real then!

Congrats! I’m 7 weeks today I think, I’ve had cramps, needing to wee loads, tiredness, some nausea and I’m starving but nothing is appealing to me! Then I find something I want and crave it massively 😂

@Scarletthoping Welcome! I'm surviving, not thriving 😅

@Lydia9228 Pregnant with #2 as well! Way past disbelief though now the symptoms are kicking my butt 🤣

@Hiddenvoice Sounds like you'll have a wonderful gap though 😍 my son hates me even looking at another child, let alone holding a baby haha. It'll take time but hopefully he'll get there 😅

@caitvictoriax Totally understand this! We waited until 13 weeks last time but I've been so sick this time I told my mum at 5 weeks. It is nice to have someone to talk to! X
