Hi all. I'm 4 weeks pregnant with my first so very early days. Estimated due date of Christmas eve!
Feeling very bloated and having weird twinges

Welcome and congratulations

The bloat and twinges may stay around for a while so don't be alarmed x

Anyone starting to think they could be further along than they first thought? My belly looks like a bump already or is that possible with bloating? My period was super super late last time but I did have what I thought was a period, which was a day after I got a negative pregnancy test. If I'm not 5 weeks I'd be like 15 weeks. I'm probably just over thinking it ha ha I might go and book myself a reassurance scan for next week just to make sure xx

I look further along thanks to the bloat of the trapped wind and mixed bowels don't help
The image attached was taken Saturday 13th April I'm a size 12/14 uk 5ft 10 had to go get some xl pants to fit as my clothes all too tight I'm 6+4 today

UnicornPrincessSarah · 16/04/2024 15:50

@Sheth86 Welcome to the bloated mummas club lol, I'm also scoffing my face every 2/3 hours that's not going to help lol, Hope all goes well for the scan Thursday, I had one at 5+5 and we just saw the gestational sac and yolk sac was to early for fetal pole and heartbeat but the confirmed my dates all matched up

Lauren0506 · 16/04/2024 15:54

@UnicornPrincessSarah are you having twins? I’m not sure but high chance maybe twins , it’s a private scan.. EPU won’t give me one as no bleeding or pains £89 but still be worth it xx

Hi cautiously hoping to join. Got bfp a week ago and tests were getting darker then suddenly had tests fade on Sunday but since have been climbing again- very unsure what is happening but if it was a chemical they would fade surely as I had a cp in feb. Would be 18 dpo now EDD 20th dec.
tests below are Monday tuesday and today and definitely improvement so fingers crossed 🤞

I’ve been having cramps today and worrying myself sick! I know it’s probably just a bit of bloating/wind but I’m driving myself nuts! I’m 5 weeks tomorrow, only a week or so until I can get myself scanned 😫 one of my colleagues is trained in first trimester scanning and we have an ultrasound machine at work so I’ve told her and sworn her to secrecy, she’s going to scan me next week 🩷

MissMadam · 16/04/2024 18:51

Molly4689 · 16/04/2024 11:19

@MissMadam it's hit me badly today too, i'd had it for a while but it was manageable until this morning. I'm quite glad to see it in some ways but not getting much/any work done!

I know what you mean, when I was pregnant with DS. I got a boo and morning sickness started the very next day. Where’s I’ve had heart for over a week before my bfp. I just realised today my boobs are huge the bones of my bra keep digging into my sides. I need to buy some mints and maybe ginger sweets.

Dogscanlookup · 16/04/2024 18:51

@Nbaby my test wasn’t that dark at 22dpo. But I just had a scan today at around 5+3 and there’s a sac and yolk / baby starting to form and she even thought she could see a slight flicker despite being so early! So don’t worry. In fact, put the tests down if you can. They aren’t reliable after doing my research and they just induce panic!

Beck3115 · 16/04/2024 19:31

Hello! Please can I join you? I think I am around 6 weeks pregnant due on the 12th December. This is a surprise pregnancy and baby number 3 for us x

readyforroundtwo · 16/04/2024 20:10

@Beck3115 exact same situation for me too. How are you feeling? x

Still doesn’t feel real at all, only me and my partner know. How are you feeling? When are you due? X

readyforroundtwo · 16/04/2024 20:48

@Beck3115 a mixture between mass hysteria and panic atm 😂
Calculator online says EDD is Christmas Day! Although I've already had two c-sections so I imagine I will be advised to have one this time. That means it's more likely to be week before that.
How old are your children? I have an 8 year old and a 2 year old, although he's 3 in June.

I know how you feel I am between excited and sweaty with panic 😂. I have an 8 year old, and a 19 month old. I feel well enough for now but it will be tricky to hide for long I think x

readyforroundtwo · 16/04/2024 21:00

@Beck3115 oh wow similar ages! I'm dreading the morning sickness, I suffered a lot last time 😫

Beck3115 · 16/04/2024 21:08

@readyforroundtwo did you have sickness with both? I found sickness way worse the first time, with my boy. Last time I had migraines though and they were brutal x
