Late April 2024 / Early May 2024

[HopefullMumto4]

Tentatively seeing if anyone else is due then yet?

I got a positive digital this morning and based on Ovulation I'd be due 30th April and 2nd May based on LMP, but until the dating scan that could easily change a week either way based on previous babies!

@Irish34 how many weeks are you?

@Plumful per my last period I am 8 weeks tomorrow. However I ovulate day 20 of a 29 day cycle so I am measuring 7 weeks tomorrow.

Oh gosh so early to feel so sick. This was me last time. I suffered from virtually day one.
I am nearly seven weeks and I would barely know I was pregnant which is worrying me a little because this is so different to last time.

The 1st 12 weeks are so hard I think. You either feel shocking and want to get past the first few weeks or you have no symptoms and you are worried! I am feeling better today than all week. Still a bit weak and too much motion makes me a bit nauseas. Instead of being happy I can move a bit I am now worried! I really thought second time around I would be calmer!!

Hi ladies I was sent to epu this morning my epu nurse wanted to have a check over me because my symptoms disappeared yesterday suddenly and also lower back pain, I had both these things in may when I had an MC. And other successful pregnancies I've been sicl from 6 to 12 weeks.

But all is fine, baby has grown immensely since last week it's crazy to see the difference, last week baby was 2.3mm at 6 weeks. Now 9.3mm bang on 7 weeks so all great. So if your symptoms aren't usual or keep coming and going try not to worry 🤞

I think I’m going to combine booking appointment with a private scan

So glad everything is ok @Kellyaust and wow that is a huge growth, how amazing!

Nausea sadly graduated to morning sickness yesterday. 🤢 Did not enjoy, naturally! Even worse, we were on a flight this morning for a short holiday and I ended up vomming into a paper bag. Pregnancy is sooo glam! 😅

That's lovely news @Kellyaust fantastic growth! I have my first scan at 10am tomorrow eek trying to calm my nerves.....!

I hope everyone is doing alright (despite nausea!). Too early for me for nausea, but I’m experiencing low level one-sided pain on the left side where my ovaries are and my health anxiety has kicked in 🙁 Is this normal or a case for 111 for a suspected ectopic pregnancy? The pain is light and not permanent….similar to pain I sometimes experienced before my period started or around ovulation. Still I’m panicking now that it might be ectopic…will there be any clear signs (such as unbearable pain?) that make it obvious that something is going wrong, or is light one sided pain already cause for concern?

Thank you @HopeAndChocolate and sorry about your sickness it's absolutely the worst part isn't it.

And @lenalove thank you yes great growth I'm so pleased I can relax for the weekend now, good luck for tomorrow make sure you update 🤞

I just don't want to eat.

6+5

Has anyone else felt so repulsed by the thought of eating?

Every time I go into the kitchen to think about food u run away at the very thought.

I've had one Sandwhich today and I just cannot stomach anything else. Now I'm feeling insane guilt that I'm not getting my nutrients in.

Looking for some reassurance/encouragement today.

@GLC789 i was told by my midwife this week don’t worry about food. Even if all I could manage was tea and toast that’s fine. Just keep hydrated. Your pregnancy vitamins will be giving you nutrients. And the baby will pull from your reserves anyway!

@GLC789 that was me last time. I survived on crisps, cheese and crackers. Eat whatever you can even if it’s junk.

@Cinai its normal to have some aches and twinges. This might help

God all I can do is eat, I’m like Pac-Man! But it’s keeping the sickness and nausea at bay. So I’ll be going no where near any scales for the foreseeable!

@Nynm23 its only today I've felt like this so far. But it's shocked me as I'm such a foodie normally. I thought I'd be munching all day every day by now 😂

@Plumful @Irish34 - thank you. Tea and toast actually sounds OK. I'll send hubby to the kitchen right now!

The food aversion was just awful in my first pregnancy, I had headaches 24/7 due to not eating or drinking enough. Over the last few days I’ve found myself having to snack every couple of hours or I feel faint and sick. I also found I could stomach nesquik last time so was getting some calories in at least.

Sounds like our symptoms have matched up @GLC789 as I too am off food! It’s kinda sad too as I’m missing out on lots of gorgeous food on this holiday and having to hunt out really basic stuff to see if I can even manage to stomach that. 🙈

Just finished up at the scan, everything fine with a nice strong heartbeat measuring at 7wks bang on instead of 7+3 but they said that's normal especially if you have irregular cycles! Phew!

@HopeAndChocolate we really have been quite synced through this haven't we! Hopefully it'll pass ASAP. But yes, the blander the better for me atm!

So happy for you!!!

I have mine tomorrow morning!

Xx

@lenalove great news on the scan, we are literally 1 day apart then 🎉🎉

@Kellyaust aww yay love that!

@GLC789 good luck, let us know how it goes xx

@Cinai: I had this a bit last week on the left side, then it moved over to the right, too, and this week it’s gone! I didn’t have any other worrying symptoms, so made myself chalk it up to normal growing and stretching pains. Hope that helps ❤️
