Due August 2024!

[etaketak1991]

Hi all! I'm 4 weeks exactly today, due date is 4th August ☺️ This will (hopefully) be DC2!

How is everyone feeling? I've got sore boobs, mild cramps and waves of nausea that I didn't get until week 6 with my DD so I guess it's starting early, lucky me 🥳

@Olivia2019 aw thank you! I’ve just looked them up and they have a clinic near me so will definitely be booking with them when i hit 7 weeks 💗

Anyone else feeling super hungry?

I was up at 3am the other night eating crackers and dip as I was so hungry!

@Isitisit I woke up last night absolutely starving - didn't eat anything but struggled to go back to sleep because of it 😏 but yes I definitely feel more hunger than nausea at the moment

@Isitisit yes! all i could think of was having one of those massive scooby doo like sandwiches 😭 finally made one today and now my stomach hurts ahaha

Here's me worrying yesterday about a lack of symptoms....woke up at 3am, couldn't get back to sleep. Then vomited this morning (in 3 pregnancies I've never vomited). I'm bloated, my jeans are driving me nuts and I'm exhausted!!
Maybe it's the progesterone supplements.

@winterspinach

Haha, yes it’s hard not to overeat with the hunger!

I’ve loaded up on rice crackers and cereal bars to try and keep it at bay!

@fr4zzledmum I'm trying to decide when I need it more, in the morning or afternoon. right now I want to have it free flow into my veins!

Got bloods done this morning. The nurse said she might have the results by this afternoon, getting them done again on Wednesday.

@SnookyPook snap! 6 weeks tomorrow. Also had a MC last time (at 8+3) so will be quite anxious until then. I should be going back to work after Christmas at 9 weeks so will feel a bit better about it all then I hope.

I’m not going to have a private early scan (unless at EPU for bleeding or whatever) - I’ve got quite a lot of anxiety around scans after having multiple due to bleeding last time and ultimately seeing the heartbeat before losing them 3 days later.

Had a few waves of nausea late last week but nothing since. My diet has been atrocious but mainly because there’s so many Christmas goodies around rather than anything to do with pregnancy! Never had any nausea last time so it does reassure me a bit.

Does anyone do exercise classes? I do a couple where I think there are exercises I should ideally stop doing, but I’m not ready to tell the instructors. Not sure what to do!

at my trust you can’t ring and book in for appointments until you’re between 6 and 8 weeks so I’m looking forward to doing that tomorrow! Well, leaving them a message for them to call me back anyway

There is a Facebook group Babies due August 2024 UK. It’s a closed group so no one is meant to see you in it.

Yep to the PP re increased hunger. I have really been enjoying my food the last day or 2, especially anything salty like olives 🤤 I’ve had some days where I’m not hungry at all and feel repulsed by food. Very variable right now.
had exhaustion hit me like a ton of bricks today, out of nowhere!!

@Isthisrealomgwow it is just so unpredictable, right?!

@CurlyWurly1991 yes, it's knocking me for six. Said to hubby yesterday I think there is a problem as no symptoms, then wham....have some insomnia and vomiting!!
Got the next scan on Thursday so fingers crossed.

Absolutely not 😂 didn't with my little girl either, I'll switch from coke with caffeine to the one without, but I'll probably still have a couple cups of coffee a day x

@winterspinach We used window to the womb too with my DD after being recommended them by a friend. We really liked them and have booked with them again for the end of the month.

Hello! I'd like to join please. I'm approx 5 weeks and maybe 2 days. I'm due August 13th. Window to the Womb scan today says I measure 4 weeks 5 days but heartbeat was seen and not actually sure on my dates as that measures a little small. Very shocked yesterday morning to find out that I'm pregnant as Dd is only turning 6 MONTHS this week periods have been irregular since I stopped breastfeeding so had no idea how far along I was. Felt a bit off this week and period was late-ish and I was having cramps still so did the test. (Digital and then a blue dye when I couldn't believe my eyes). Booked a scan for asap which was this morning to get an idea of dates. DH and I rarely have sex (DD is a terrible sleeper) so must have caught on one of the very, very few times we had sex. Pull out method isn't reliable 🤣 We we're planning on another when DD turned 1 but this is a wonderful blessing and now the shock has worn off we're very excited!!
I'm not hungry but I am thirsty and have waves of nausea. Sore breasts haven't started yet, I still leak milk here and there so not sure if that will stop or get worse as the pregnancy progresses...

Hi all! I got my BFP today and also due in August! This will be my second child and I am super excited! I'm not completely sure on my dates but I think I'm about 4 weeks.

Anyone thinking of going for a private scan beforehand? I did with my DD and thinking I may book a window to the womb at around the 8/9 week mark.

100% I'm eating probably every 1.5 hours 😵I didn't get this hunger with my DD so it is a real surprise to me. The only things that seem to help are anything that's not really healthy haha, like croissants and cereal bars. I tried carrot sticks and veg, but that just makes the nausea worse. Oh well!

I'm feeling way more hungry too! I'm already feeling sick if I don't eat regularly. Had 2 bags of ready salted walkers crisps today, which I'd never normally do, but I just needed the salt 😳

Last time, I had hyperemesis and ended up weighing less post pregnancy than I did before I fell pregnant. So maybe this is my body stocking up on calories before the sickness hits? 😂

I did a CB weeks test. It may have been a bad idea! I got 1-2 weeks according to my LMP I'm 4wk 5days but I am 100% certain I ovulated about 4/5 days late I was hoping the test would say 2-3 weeks

@toomanysausages im due 13th of august and im 4 weeks 6 days today, so the measurements seem pretty spot on. Congratulations 🥳 xxxx

Gosh hyperemesis sounds horrendous. Really hope you don't get it again this time. I ate a massive "sharing" bag of crisps the other week actually. Didn't dare guess how many calories lol but as you say, you have no idea what is ahead so best to go with what your body needs at the time.

I would try not to worry too much at this stage, easier said than done, I know! 1 to 2 means 3-4 weeks pregnant and if you did ovulate later then it might be right? It may well say 2-3 in a few more days time.
It's hard when you are looking for reassurance and don't get it!

Try not to worry about this. I remember getting the same result on that test when I was 5 weeks along with DD and stressing about it but all was fine!

@Jazzberryjam23 @PolkaDotDot it was not FMU and it was fairly weak.
I also had some 'wrong' results when pregnant with DS. By clearblue calculations I was exactly 4 weeks so 1-2 is correct I was just hoping for 2-3

Hello all I hope you don't mind me joining.

I got my first ever BFP on the 7th December and will be around 4+3 by LMP. This will be our first baby after TTC for just over a year and I was being referred for fertility testing.

It's taken a while to get my head around everything! Still anxious, find myself so aware if every cramp in my lower belly right now (which seems to be a fair few).
I'm needle phobic and I know I'll be under extra care due to my BMI so I'm taking it one step at a time and trying not to let the anxiety get to me.

How is everyone today?
