I'm currently 11dpo. Had a two faint positives yesterday followed by a positive clear blue this morning. This will hopefully be my second pregnancy due around 14th May by dates. Just wondered if anybody wanted to share the journey, symptoms and advice 🥰

Is anyone else waiting until six weeks before they contact the midwife team? I don't think I can go through being given appointments and then having to cancel them again 🤦🏻‍♀️

Knewlife · 05/09/2023 17:53

@TheBirdintheCave I'm not contacting them until 8 weeks and a positive scan. Can't face them messing up admin and sending me 12wk scan appointments when I've already lost the baby...

I'm also trying not to go for a scan until 7-8 weeks as I don't want it to be inconclusive/too early to tell

@TheBirdintheCave I contacted mine yesterday hoping they'd give me a reassurance scan but she just made an appt for my booking in appt instead I'll be 6 weeks 🥲 don't want to do it again to lose another baby

Hi all 👋 tentatively joining... I'm only 9/10dpo but got clear lines this morning (on 3 different tests 😅)

This will be my 3rd DC but 1st with DP. My other two are 9 & 6 so it feels like a lifetime ago that I last did all this!

Fertility friend is predicting my due date as 18th May.

I'm going to hold off getting booking in appointment sorted until at least next week. Will also book an early scan if all is still well by next week.

Sending hugs to those of you have had difficult journeys to get here 🫂

I'm waiting until 7 weeks until I have a private scan under my belt. If the scan shows a baby in the right place with a strong heartbeat and all good signs, I'll book in.

Tested positive on Sunday on an early response and a clear blue digi but just took some cheapie tests. A good line on the Clear & Simple test housed in plastic but a mere shadow line on the Clear & Simple dip stick test. Just goes to show how things vary even in the same brand using the same wee! I just bought a stack for line progression to keep my hopes up.

@Knewlife That's what happened to me the first two times 🤦🏻‍♀️

muffin1996 · 05/09/2023 20:08

@clasmummy20 I think you might need to change a setting a says only the admin can send messages 😅

neverenoughwine · 05/09/2023 20:28

I've been finding this really hard to follow too.

Can I join the WhatsApp group please 😁

This link is to the group we can chat in on that community ☺️

clasmummy20 · 05/09/2023 20:30

But I think you need to go in to the first link first if that makes ANY sense! I'm sure it will.. I'm a total plonker 😂

littlelove23 · 05/09/2023 20:57

Hi girls can I join too.

im 34, 5th pregnancy only one son aged 3.

Had previous ectopic and tube removal too so I’m really nervous now.

I’ve created a completely private Facebook group called 0524. It has no mention of pregnancy or due date in the title and others would have to have search for it to join and even then, can’t see you’ve joined.

Will attach a link to anybody who’s interested

Just Joined the group... im on a November baby Facebook group from mumsnet for my 9 month old and it's been a godsend as a first time mum we did a night feeds thread where we supported each other at the beginning and it's such a good idea

TTCbaby2x · 06/09/2023 09:51

Has anyone else broke out in spots? My chin looks like I'm on my period with the amount of spots I have come out in! In this normal? 5 weeks today...

Toda11 · 06/09/2023 10:32

Hi All,

FTM joining here, due date of May 13th as well like a few of you!

Had feint lines on 9 and 10 dpo on cheapies from boots, did a CB early digital on 11dpo and came back pregnant and then did a CB dated digital on 12dpo and came back 2-3 weeks which I think is good as shows my HCG has gone up enough to move into 2-3 weeks and not be in 1-2 weeks.

Symptom wise I’ve been bloated and had a stuffy nose as well as a small cramp every now and then. Yesterday morning when wiping I had a small tinge of pink to my CM which looking on here is nothing to worry about so fingers crossed!

Happy to join you all!

Toda11 · 06/09/2023 10:33

Had a cluster on my chin and a small cluster on my forehead

Hi all, new here. I have a due date May 17th. So, I went a bit overboard with the pregnancy tests – tried all the brands just to double check! 🙈 And here we are!

I'm guessing many of you are more experienced than me...today I did quick run to grab some Pregnacare for folic acid and vitamin D (just learnt about folic acid today on the Pregnancy+ app 😳) Hoping it won't make me queasy 🤞😷

theodora2146 · 07/09/2023 07:59

Omg the gas is another level 😂🙈

TTCbaby2x · 07/09/2023 08:02

My bloat is another level, cannot hold my stomach in to save my life. Worst thing to happen when your hiding it from people 🙈 this is my 2nd so I don't know if that has anything to do with the horrendous bloat...

ttcthoughts · 07/09/2023 08:03

@TTCbaby2x This is the exact same as me! Its started to go down a little bit now though, but the last week its been horrendous
