Hey everyone. I can't see a May due date group yet. I am in the April 2025 chat as DD based on LMP puts me due at Apr 15. However I have varying length cycles and think I didn't ovulate until CD 30ish. Guessing I'm actually due May 2nd based off temps. Everyone in the April chat are much further along and hoping to find some people earlier in their pregnancies to chat to :) x

@heartheart89 have you already got travel insurance? Could you get it now then claim on the insurance later to recoup some funds? Or change the dates maybe x

@woodclover welcome

I took out travel insurance already luckily but when I looked it up a lot say they don't cover pregnancy, I'll have to look up the conditions of my policy. X

Got my BFP on Wednesday past - due 16th May. So so so excited.

Congratulations, @Bedheadready and yayyy, so happy for you, @BlueberryPoppy123!

I know lots have moved to WhatsApp now but I'll still be here on Mumsnet. 😊 Any more WhatsApp group chats terrify me!

There's a Facebook group too if that's any better much easier than logging in to mumsnet for me

@woodclover sorry hadn't finished typing but somehow sent. Congratulations. How are you feeling?

Haha it's ok!! So far so good, I'm just really sensitive to smell at the moment.. I've told DH he smells so many times, but thankfully he's still speaking to me!! 😂

WildWhirlwind · 09/09/2024 16:22

Aww I don't have Facebook but I think I'll probably get it back one day as I think loads of baby groups and events get posted on there.

Lovely to see some progression 😀

Hi ladies,

Could I join please?. Guessing due date around 16-18th if may , I have PCOS and it's dating me at almost 9 weeks pregnant but I know that's definitely wrong as Ive had bloods done to check hcg levels. I have been ttc baby #2 for 9 years. I have had multiple MC and 1 ectopic so hopefully this one sticks. I've been having my bloods tested every 2 days to see progression, last lot my hcg was 225 and due in today for more.

Pinkyorbluey · 12/09/2024 18:27

Aandk64 · 12/09/2024 19:32

WildWhirlwind · 16/09/2024 20:05

Congratulations to those who've recently joined!

We went for an early scan today, the baby is measuring as expected and there is a strong heartbeat. What a strange and amazing feeling/sight! Though I have a large (I think) hematoma - has anyone had any experience and good endings with this?

Hoping everyone is okay, genuinely, it's a tough time.

If anyone wants the FB link, please dm me x

Hey everyone,

I believe I’m 6+2 with my first. Would be due May 13th. I’ve got my first midwife appointment early October and my 12 week scan late October. I’ve booked an early private scan for the end of this month but this morning after going for a wee I had a watery light brown substance on the paper. I had the tiniest bit of implantation bleeding weeks ago and that was light pink. It’s had me very worried today, so I’ve moved my scan to this Sunday. It almost looked like the start of my period. My breast have stopped feeling tender too but I know this is common and can come and go. Has anyone else had something similar? The light brown substance hasn’t shown since this morning but I’m very worried as I’ve not done this before. Took us nearly 2 years to get to this point. I’ve read through some of the pages on here but there’s a lot to catch up on Xx

Jblack · 18/09/2024 23:05

Hey everyone! I'm due 22nd May (based on flo and a few other calculators)! So lovely to find this group and congratulations everyone on their bfp!! 😊

showersandflowers · 19/09/2024 14:10

Hello, can I join please? Pregnant with baby number 2 after 5 months ttc. Due 15th May, so about 6+1 I think? Having a hard time not telling anyone.

Is anyone having symptoms yet? I had a touch of nausea last week but completely fine this week 🤷‍♀️ was the same with my first though.

PipsKat88 · 19/09/2024 14:32

Hi ladies,

Please can I join you all 😀

I found out I am pregnant on Saturday, after a miscarriage last year and to say I am nervous is an understatement! We found out at 9wks that we had miscarried and baby had stopped growing at 6wks.

PDD is 22nd May, so I am around 5 weeks (21 day cycle). We have a reassurance scan booked with our local EPU but thats not for another couple of weeks. The wait is awful! Time was flying until Saturday and it seems to have really slowed down lol!

Really hoping this one sticks around for the long run 👶

Clo3 · 20/09/2024 19:49

I’m 5 weeks and 3 days due mid may, first time mum🙂 been ttc for 8 years and was about to start my ivf journey! Feeling super
overwhelmed!

ThatGladSwan · 24/09/2024 13:27

First of all, congratulations ladies!
And I would also love to be added to the WhatsApp

My EDD is 8th May and its my first. I'm only 20 and it came as a shock, but I am really excited and so is my partner. I'm estimated to be about 8 wks today, but having an early scan on Thursday to confirm. For the last two weeks I have had horrific nausea but no sickness and have completely lost my appetite as well as just wanting to sleep 24/7, is this the same for anyone else?
I'm really nervous as its my first so any advice given, I would be very grateful for.

Clo3 · 24/09/2024 18:58

I’m due a few days after you 🥰

How did you get on? I really hope everything was ok 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I am currently 5 weeks 5 days pregnant (due 21st May) after my first cycle of IVF. Tonight when I put my pessary in, there was some brown blood on the stick which has not happened before. I tried to not panic but failed. Dashed out to get a pregnancy test and it’s still saying “pregnant 3+” which is correct. But now I feel very anxious even though I know spotting is quite common etc.

First scan isn’t until 3rd October - logically I know I should just wait until then given it was so tiny but will have to just see what happens.

Hope all you lovely ladies are doing ok x x x

Hey, everything is fine! Strong heartbeat was detected, baby is in the right place and they couldn’t see any reason for the bleeding. They just said rest for the next week and let them know if there’s anymore but seems ok now. I had implantation bleeding so maybe it was old blood from that. They wasn’t worried at all so it has calmed me for now. I’ll be 7 weeks tomorrow. Hope you’re all good Xx

Glad everything was ok!!! Mine subsided too so the anxiety has lifted …. For now!

Have you told anyone about your pregnancy? Quite a few people know about mine as I had IVF which my friends knew about, and of course my work as needed random days off etc.

I have not told anyone in my family yet though my partner’s family knows. It is my mum’s birthday next week and I know she would be ECSTATIC if I told her. At that point I’ll only be 7 and a bit weeks…the reason I’m reluctant to tell my mum too soon is because if anything goes wrong she will be a ball of worry and anxiety.

But I am leaning towards telling her via one of those ‘scratch off’ birthday cards.

Is anyone else having these deliberations?!

PurpleOrchids12345 · 29/09/2024 16:35

Hi @justineblack im 7+1 and haven’t told anyone! Things can be unpredictable at such an early stage of pregnancy and I want to deal with my own emotions before having to deal with other people’s!
@SRA14 glad to hear the good news :)
