OCTOBER 2024 BABIES!

[tryingforbaba]

Just found out I am 1-2 weeks pregnant according to clear blue digital!!

Estimated due date is 1st Oct.

Here's a thread for anyone due around same time. Let's enjoy this wild ride together 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Does anyone else have mild cramping or some pain like your period is going to start ? I’m so panicky , it’s like dull ache !

@Ilovebees yeah me too. Cramps and the back pain I normally get

Me too x

@Ilovebees absolutely. I keep feeling really heavy and achy.

I can’t remember who asked about an early scan but I get one automatically as I had a loss at 16 weeks. It’s 27th February. Which is going to be a tough day as that’s also the same day last year I found out my daughter had to heart beat.

this is my 3rd pregnancy and I have a DS who is 3, also a December baby!! Both my other pregnancies I had early scans. I reccomend them. Feel like it helps me to bond if that makes any sense at all.

@Nic2908 omg so sorry to hear you lost your daughter , I cannot imagine the pain ! Hopefully you’ll be blessed with this new rainbow baby 😍

@Ilovebees I have been having mild but persistent lower back pain - a bit different to my usual period pain so hoping just showing that stuff is happening!

Yes, I've had it too on and off for about two.weeks now. Milder than usual period pains. It does make me slightly anxious but it seems to be common!

Sorry that was in response to @Ilovebees!

Hey everyone, hope I'm ok to join.

Had a rocky old journey. 3 years of trying, 1 miscarriage and 1 ectopic, where i was also diagnosed with endo.. we did IVF in July and got 4 embryos but I also had OHSS and ended up in hospital 🙈 did our first FET on 15th Jan and it worked! So far so good 😅 feeling very anxious about this pregnancy lasting - but if all goes well the due date is October 3rd.

How is everyone coping with the TWW 2.0 waiting for the scan!

I am on this same train of thought! Bought a clear blue date test to see if it would be 2-3 weeks and show progression 🤞🏼

@aussiegirl89 hey welcome , massive congrats to you ! I know ivf is a rough jorney ! Iv had ivf’s as well but no success yet but managed to fall pregnant naturally now just before starting my new ivf cycle next month !

and about the 2 week wait for scan - I really don’t know how I’m managing to wait , I think I’m too busy being anxious about something going wrong any minute that I’m living in the present ,literally , cannot dare to think 2 weeks in front xx I can’t even promise myself that tomorrow is all still ok with pregnancy 😄I’m living in fear , every minute . X

@Ilovebees honestly same. My mantra atm is 'today I am pregnant' and just sitting with that. Wild that for everyone else time is passing by as normal but for us every day is an eternity!

Anybody struggling with insomnia but extremely tired? I can’t seem to sleep!

@PineappleBella yes I'm with u there

@nervousn3lly glad it’s not just me! I made the referral online to the midwives which has made everything feel real! Which is really crazy! I’m already looking at baby names 😂

I’ve just found this page whilst being unable to sleep! We were meant to go for bottomless brunch yesterday and I spontaneously decided to test. Got a faint line on a Superdrug test so then panicked and raided Tesco for more 😂 they were definitely positive!

this is my first time being pregnant and I’m soooooo nervous. When do you actually start getting excited? 🙈

@MAY324 I think the first scan is where I got the most excited, because it really dawns on you what’s happening! I’m yet to tell my OH, I’m planning a valentines reveal to him! Pregnancy is amazing, and I actually think the best weeks are between 4-6 because after that I spend my entire pregnancies vomiting 🤮😂 it’s not morning sickness for me! More like all day and night sickness. Congratulations!!

You’re so patient but that will be amazing! I’ve always had ideas of how I’d tell him but ended up just going in and going IS THIS A LINE????? 😂

@PineappleBella not insomnia exactly but I keep waking up at like 7am (with no alarm set) which is very unlike me, I'm not a morning person and usually have to drag myself out of bed after snoozing the alarm like five times. Don't know if it's a physical thing or just nerves about whether everything will be okay each day!

Hi ladies, congratulations to you all!

I found out two days ago I’m pregnant, due 4th October, is it ok if I join?

I’m 36, with PCOS but have managed to conceive on our 2nd cycle of trying for our first. Clear Blue says 2-3 weeks atm.

My boobs are sore and swollen and I’ve had a tender belly with some twinges so far.

Any tips on how to handle morning sickness if and when it kicks in?

@FantasticalCat congratulations! It's my first too so can't advise on morning sickness but I hear ginger is good?

I've had twinges too - convinced everytime I feel one that it's all over 🙈🙃 but then I read it's your uterus growing so I feel a bit better about them now

I’ve just done another test and it was so much fainter than the ones I did yesterday. Feel like this isn’t a good sign 😭

Hi ladies,

Is it ok if I join you here on this thread? I'm only 9dpo but have very good lines on my pregnancy tests and a digital confirmed it this morning. I can't believe it. This is my first time being pregnant.

How is everyone feeling symptoms-wise? I've some cramping and little pains in my tummy, but I'm a bit anxious about the whole thing (I wanted this but I think now that it's real, I'm nervous and excited), so maybe that's why.

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to chatting with you all ❤️

@FantasticalCat I found with my last that eating little and often helped. I felt much worse when my stomach was empty. Also, really cold fizzy water helped me.

With my first sucking on a hard boiled sweet really helped with the morning sickness, which was also not just morning sickness. I also found that having something as soon as I woke up helped. I had protein and nakd bars in my bedside table.

i think I had my first craving last night, I was going insane thinking about Doritos and dip 😂
