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 🥳

@Welshgal85 Yes to stomach ache, had it one morning and it was awful, I was in so much pain and couldn't do anything except groan in bed. I vomited a couple of times and it gradually got better throughout the day, so weird and I don't even know if it had anything to do with pregnancy.

I'm now worrying that my nausea seems to have got better. I'm 6 week and the nausea hit hard then with 2 of my pregnancies. So weird to WANT the sickness. Can't wait for scan on Friday, like someone else said I just want to know if it's bad, hate the second guessing every symptom 🙄

@hickorydickory20 this is our second pregnancy as well and wasn't expecting it this month at all!
Also joined a fb group back with my little one who is 2 and a half now and we all still chat on it 😊

Wondering how everyone is managing the festive season, particularly any work dos! Got mine this week and can't cancel so having to lie as to why I'm not drinking 🙃

@dg3131 I had this the other day (pink tinge) It was a smidge but try not to worry. I had a much bigger bleed (red) with dd when I was about 9 weeks. It can be a few different causes and is more than likely absolutely nothing to worry about. If your scan was fine I would take a lot of reassurance from that as when I had mine the sonographer had a look to see if anything could cause a bleed and she thought it was just left over implantation bleeding.

Fingers crossed for you tomorrow @Pixiedust138

@FirstTimeMumma2021 last year I said I was on antibiotics so couldn't drink, nobody questioned it

@toomanysausages that's my plan! I lucked out as I had a horrid cold last week so my.plan is to say its turned into a chest infection lol

Oh dear the nausea hit me yesterday. Plus fever related to covid so I took paracetamol and that brought it down. So many more worries in pregnancy, aren’t there?
smells of food are getting to me. DH spent hours making something he wanted me to like yesterday but it made the whole house smell of potato and egg 🤢 I could then only eat a tiny bit, it tasted so strong and was repulsive.
it’s really hard to explain what the nausea feels like to someone that hasn’t experienced it.
cold foods like cereal and milk, lukewarm porridge, fruit yoghurt, vegetable sticks and oatcakes are all I can manage at the moment.

Turned 6 weeks today and wow I feel dreadful this morning! Nausea, upset stomach (sorry for tmi) really hot flushes and the thought of anything to eat is making me feel sick! I was starting to get worried as I'd had very little symptoms, a bit of nausea started over the weekend and then bam! Hit me like a bus this morning 😂😩 trying to hide it from my mum is proving difficult (we work together!) 🤢🤢

I'm due AF tomorrow and have been testing positive for the last few days, had a great line progression. This morning had some very light brown tinted discharge after the toilet twice and last night had what felt like PMS cramps and same this morning. I know no one can know for sure and as I'm only really four weeks it's so early but anyone else had discharge and cramps so early on??

@JHL93 I didn't have discharge/spotting but I had intense 'period' cramps when I was due on that lasted 2-3 days and was absolutely convinced it was AF on the way. Same happened with my son. Spotting can be very normal too - could even be from implantation? All the best!

I have a scan at the EPU and booking appointment on Wednesday at 6w 6d. It feels like each day passes sooo slowly and I’m monitoring the miscarriage probabilities chart like a hawk to see the numbers go down each day. Feeling nervous but excited for Wednesday, hoping everything is in the right place and right size!

I Wasn't too concerned about the discharge as it was so lightly tinged it was the cramps I was worried about feels exactly like worlds worst period is about to start! Thanks for taking the time to reply x

@JHL93 no problem at all! It's all so unnerving in the early days! X

@JHL93 i definitely have cramping around week 4. Makes you think your period is coming and then you get a positive test! Try not to worry if you can

@toomanysausages I called the midwives this morning as the pink tinge had turned brown. She thinks it's just old blood with everything moving around and baby nestling deeper into uterus. She said they would only be worried if it was bright red. 🤞🏼

@Isitisit what chart is that? I am also very worried about MC, I had an early one last cycle. I had 2nd hCG bloods on Friday and the lab just texted me the result, 896 at 4wk + 5, it was 371 2 days prior so more than doubled which is making me feel more relaxed. Well that's only if I have my dates correct. I am going off ovulation not LMP, since that was thrown off by 6 days from the MC

Hi everyone, I’m new to this thread. Just looking for some reassurance really and your own stories.
I had a frozen erm to transfer on 05/12 so today is OTD and although my tests are still positive I don’t feel the lines have got any darker. I’ve been using the wondfo strips which have good reviews and seem to work well for others with a good line progression. I have also tested with clear blue digital and it is still saying 1-2 weeks? What are peoples experiences with these? I should be 4weeks +4 today. My boobs are super sore but they usually are before period too so that’s nothing to go by 🤦🏼‍♀️ bloated and frequent urination.
I’ve called the clinic and the nurse wouldn’t check my hcg levels and has booked my viability scan for 3rd January, which just seems ages away and a big worry over Christmas!
It’s hard to see much on these as obviously they are dry but just to give an idea… if anything I feel todays is a bit lighter xxx

@JHL93

I had very severe cramps, no discharge.
Now, even at 8 weeks I have bad cramps from time to time but the scan said everything's okay so it's normal.

@dg3131 i was getting pink discharge too not loads but defo getting when I wiped. It’s not turned slightly brown… I have a 7w 1day scan tomorrow….. I’m nervous!!!! Have far along are you?

@dg3131 *now

**as in it’s now turned brown

sorry for the typos 😂🤣😂 tryna multitask!

sounds exactly the same as me, I'm 7+4 so maybe it's quite normal for it to happen around this stage. I never had any in my first pregnancy tho. Good luck for your scan 🤞🏼

@pontipinemum its this one

Mine looked very like that at the same stage. Then suddenly they shot up at about 4+5 and my digital shot to 2-3 weeks. Had HCG pulled and that also suddenly shot up. Now nearly 7 weeks and had my first scan on sat and saw a lovely fetal pole. So all good :)

Thank you so much that gives me some reassurance. Congratulations xx

Hi All... I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow all being well. Anyone else experiencing back pain? Due to my previous losses it's put me on edge but Dr Google seems to think it's very normal in early pregnancy. I'm not enjoying trimester 1 much. It's so hard to feel hopeful after the year I've had 😔 I guess time will tell. Hope everyone else is doing ok. X

@SnookyPook Yes, I'm 7+1 and had horrible back pain the day before yesterday! Same aches that I'd get with a fever, but didn't have a temp.
