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!

@Maplestars - sorry to hear you’ve had bleeding, but good you’re staying positive, as you say it could be normal and it’s out of your hands. hope you’re okay this morning?

@SDA23 welcome and congrats. It’s horrible wait through these first few weeks isn’t it. Fingers crossed for us all though

Hi, I'm in the April thread but because I'm due 25th April, I'm quite a bit earlier on than a lot of people. So it's nice to join this one!
I'm 5 weeks today with my 2nd. My daughter was 2 last week.
Had 2 miscarriages before I had my daughter so feeling cautious but also quite optimistic this time round.
Feeling very affected by the pregnancy already (to the point I'm wondering if it's too soon to start wearing my Baby on Board badge on the tube!) Very tired and nauseous, headaches, was quite lightheaded yesterday.

Congratulations everyone

@Maplestars I'm so sorry to hear you've been bleeding. Have you called the hospital? How are you doing today?

I'm 6 weeks on Monday. I haven't had any spotting since, I'm putting it down to the progesterone pessary irrating my cervix. I'm trying to stay positive, my gut feeling is telling me I'm still pregnant. But that little voice in my head telling me something bad is happeneing is hard to ignore

@NinaGeiger congrats! I’m Not far off you I’m 5 weeks tomorrow. This is a nice thread to have, as you say the other April one lots of people are a bit further on so it’s nice to chat to people at the same stage.

So sorry to hear about your previous miscarriages - all fingers and toes crossed for you for a sticky baby.

@Albrook congrats!! Very exciting times - how are you feeling?

Hi ladies, hope it's OK if I join you 😊
I am due around May 1st at only 4+2 currently (my first), so praying everything goes alright! Sending you all positivity and crossing fingers for sticky babies for everyone.
I have had cramps the last few days, and feel totally exhausted! Other than needing to pee a fair bit that's it on the symptom front for now.
I have been stressing today though as no cramps at all so far and I have got it in my had that is a bad sign 😓

Welcome!

If you read these threads you'll see cramping can be a worry for some ... so I wouldn't worry. Everyone gets different symptoms and they come and go. easy as it is to say I've forced myself to just relax and remember right now I am pregnant - deal with the future if and when it happens.

@Maplestars I hope you are ok and it turns out to be a false alarm

@PigPug you're totally right, it is so easy to get caught up in your own head but the reality is it is our of our hands. I have self referred to the hospital and hope to have a scan at 7 weeks.

Delighted to be replying to this thread!!

First time pregnancy at the age of 35.

Due early May 2024 😍😍😍😍😍.

Did anyone else have the dullest, most pethetic cramps in the first week or so? They are just there, annoying me. Not painful like period cramps. Just annoying!

@GLC789 congratulations!! 😀
Yes to the cramps, sometimes I can barely even feel them but they're niggling away gently and feel more like a tiny pulling!

@lenalove yes!! That sums it up perfect!

It's making me so nervous but I've been reassured it's normal! X

Having a lot of intense lower back cramping and spotting. Symptoms seem to have dropped off today also. Feel like it may not be a good sign :( will call doctor in the AM for advice but feeling pretty distraught 💔

@Finn33 how are you this morning? Hope you are ok.

@Irish34 Ah thank you for checking in. Things aren't looking good. Bleeding much heavier now with clots(TMI sorry) and quite intense pain. I am waiting on a call back from my GP as the pain is quite intense. So not looking good unfortunately :(

@Finn33 thinking of you and hope it turns out ok xx

@Finn33 sorry to hear that. I think I’m in the same boat. I’ve got no cramp but lots of bleeding still. I’ve got a scan booked in a week to confirm either way, which I’m dreading. Hope you’re doing ok.

I'm so sorry to hear that @Finn33 sending you lots of love

@Finn33 @Maplestars so sorry to hear you’re going through this - thinking of you both

Hey everyone.... Due 3rd May... I'm only 15dpo, got my bfp at 9dpo and scared due to my last pregnancy ending in MMC in may this year.

Will try catch up on all comments on this thread 😂

@Finn33 @Maplestars also thinking of you both and sorry this is happening to you at the moment. Hope you are doing okay

Hi all can I join? Currently 4 weeks due 4th May. I have one DS and then I have had 3 MMC in the past 18 months. I'm on lots of different medication now to try and help hopefully this one stays for the finale 🤞🏼

@Maplestars @Finn33 sending you both so much love xxx

@Kellyaust @bringmearainbow congrats and welcome both of you! Sorry to hear about your previous losses.

How are you feeling?

How is everyone doing?

The cramping seems to have stopped for the time being for me. I’m just feeling a bit tired and super hungry and thirsty!
