New thread 😊

Thank you @LeopardLover I’ve not joint this one too :)

I'm 5 weeks and having bad cramps .. is it normal? I've had mild ones previously but todays feels constant

Hi! Can I join? I found out on Monday and I'm due 31st March based on ovulations dates, my app has me at 4+3. I've been driving myself mad as I just don't 'feel' pregnant 😆
16DPO today and test a little darker, but DH mas made me step away from them now 😆 - I keep reading that it's completely normal to have no symptoms; is it really? Please talk a this anxious mess off a ledge!

I'm 33, 7month TTC with no hint of a line until Monday just gone! I am excited but can't bring myself to get too excited 🙁

Is anyone else on their second(or third etc)? -with my first I had TERRIBLE morning sickness that started at week 6 and lasted til 5months. I'm trying to treasure these last few days before I am living on crackers and dry toast

Hi, congratulations!! Yes don't worry it's completely normal if you don't have any symptoms yet. I am currently 6+5 and I didn't have any symptoms until a few days ago when I hit 6 weeks, no sore boobs, nausea or anything! It's kicked in full force now though 😂
Try not to worry although easier said than done I know x

@TTC12023 see my post above, I couldn't work out how to reply to you 😂

@Itsasomething this is my second. With my first (girl) I had no morning sickness at all. However sickness has kicked in already with this pregnancy (maybe a boy!?).
Fingers crossed you'll be opposite this pregnancy and have no sickness 🤞

This is my 2nd! This time feels very similar to the first with no sickness nor any signs of pregnancy which although nice also feels very weird! I keep taking tests 😂

@TTC12023 I didn’t feel anything at 4 weeks either, try not to worry too much! I couldn’t wait for symptoms but now I’m 8+4 and throwing up loads I can’t wait for them to hopefully ease off in a few weeks 😂

Me to don't know what to think...

@Scarletthoping Hope you're feeling better now! Definitely contact someone if the spotting continues for peace of mind.

@BraveHeart91 Great to have you back 🥰

@Itsasomething No sickness with my son and now feeling ROUGH 😅😫

@TTC12023 congratulations and welcome 😊

@Gonesurfing @STH1988 @BraveHeart91 You're in the twin mum club! Have I missed someone?

Congratulations @Gonesurfing 🥰

What amazing news @STH1988 hope the initial shock is subsiding now! Ha

@Gonesurfing congrats to you too! All these tinnies!
I've just finished my nights today. They were so hard. I don't usually take a break on them and I was literally falling asleep at the desk thar I had to take a break and catnap.
Nibbling takes away the nausea but I don't have an appetite.

This morning when I got home I have so much pain in my lower back and hips I'm hoping it's just from being exhausted and sat for long periods but has anyone else felt this? It brought tears to my eyes

@Scarletthoping @1sttimemummn with my first within 24 hours of a positive test I was bent over double sweating with pain at various intervals throughout the day - like spasms. Sometimes going to the toilet would make it pass, sometimes it wouldn't. This went on for 2 weeks. I then had my reassurance scan as I was convinced it was ectopic, thankfully it wasn't. As soon as I left the scan place it never happened again. Might sound strange but I think it was anxiety causing whatever it was to make my stomach spasm.

Congrats to all of the new BFPs

Hi all, I've been reading MN for a while bc I was suspecting being pregnant. Got my blood test today, I'm 8 weeks, first pregnancy.
Thank you all for sharing what you've been living while expecting a child, I've learned a lot.
Currently: very tired, like TOO TIRED, sometimes pelvic pain and some random spotting. Had sensitive breasts a week ago or so.

Hi has anyone had any sudden sharp pain in their upper tum after eating? We just had dinner and I don't know if it's because I've eaten too much or what but I'm in quite a lot of pain. Tried ringing the community midwives line but I think it's too late for them. I've had no bleeding or anything but I'm not feeling good at all!!!

Managed to get through to midwives line. Bad indigestion, apparently very common at this stage. God it felt awful!!! Think i will be avoiding sweet and sour chicken for a while!!

@Khanga27 Yes, I often get indigestion too 😫 Rennies are our friends!

@Gonesurfing and @STH1988 how u both doing? And how far along are you? I’m expecting twins too :) both are sharing a sac I believe I have another scan on the 31st to see if they have their own placenta. I’ll be 9 weeks Friday and my god this pregnancy hitting different with extreme tiredness and sickness.

@BraveHeart91 Not too bad thanks, didn't really have any symptoms when I went for scan so big shock. I think mine are sharing a sac to. Going back in a few weeks for another scan. How are you doing? X

@BraveHeart91 also forgot to say il be 9 weeks Saturday!

@Sassy90 @HKS90 @ame88 thanks ladies that's reassuring! It feels so odd knowing I'm pregnant but with no outward anything 🤣
@ame88 DH has made me step away from the tests and keeps telling me to relax and calm to provide the best chance 🥺 gosh he's a keeper ❤️

It's awful isn't it. I've had it before being pregnant but this was something else! Going to stick.to little and often from now on

@Busylizzie85 thank you for creating the thread.
@Itsasomething 3rd pregnancy here. Intermittent mild nausea, often induced by pungent odors. Pretty similar to my previous ones. The predominant symptoms are fatigue and the strike of my digestive system.

I have my dating scan booked for the 1st August. Hoping that everything is going to be hunky-dory.
Anyone else in France?
Congratulations to you all!
