4 weeks 6 days, due 9 July 2024.. anyone wanna join?

[RozzieRoo]

Hey!

I am 4 weeks 6 days today and wondering if anyone out there is of similar gestation or has similar due date to me! Feeling quite lonely in this pregnancy (last pregnancy my best friend was pregnant at the same time so we always had each other!) and just wondered if there was anyone else feeling the same and wanted to share experiences 😊

I’ve had mild symptoms come and go and got my dye stealer on cheapie yesterday at 21dpo 💖

Been panicking about miscarriage as I’m sure lots of people do, but feeling a little better since I got my dye stealer.

fingers crossed for a healthy 9 months ❤️

@Babydreamer123 its such an anxiety ridden time, I promise you that last line is definitely darker 💖 I know the feeling, even convince myself I’m seeing things when there’s nothing there 🙈 I do think pregnancy hormones do send us a bit up the wall with it all. Did you track your cycles?

@CadoAvo welcome!! 🥰 and congratulations!! Mad to think all our babies are going to be born around the same time 🥰 how have you been feeling?

@Friedseasalt if it’s any help, I’m having them too. I just pushed my toddler and a weeks worth of shopping around the supermarket and now I am having cramps ☹️ terrified I’ve over exerted myself and I’m going to miscarry now! I had bad backache the other night (really bad) and fully expected it to be over when I woke up, but everything was fine 💞 tonight I’ll panic with you 😂😭❤️

@RozzieRoo I feel okay, I've had mild waves of nausea since Sunday and really struggled with fatigue this afternoon but other than that can't complain.
I've had 2 miscarriages this year so really hoping this is our sticky bean. With my first I had no nausea and lost it at 7 weeks. With my second I started to feel a few waves of nausea in my 7th week and then lost it at 8 weeks. I'm really hoping the early nausea this time around is a good sign!

I have a scan booked at EPU at 8 weeks, so just under 3 weeks to go. Hopefully I can get to that point without any issues 🤞🏼

How have you been feeling?

I did track my cycles and got a positive clear blue ovulation CD14 but I think I ovulated CD17/18 judging by pains and EWCM which would make me around 13/14DPO! If the digital test was right then im 16DPO. I am trying to stay positive!! I'm going to do a clear blue digital in a week and hopefully will see 3+ - I haven't done a digital yet!

@CadoAvo i am so sorry for your losses ❤️ they must have been so difficult.

I believe nausea early on is regarded as a positive sign 🥰 I’m having less nausea with this little one compared to my daughter so fingers crossed!

I’m glad the EPU are helping to reassure you, I’ve got a scan next Friday and then will be booking a private one I think.

Pretty much sound exactly the same as you! I’ve been feeling pretty fatigued for the most part, I’ve been a bit teary on occasion and crampy/backache but mostly feels like ligament pain, some mild breast tenderness and the odd wave of nausea but like I say, nothing like my daughter! Convinced it’s a boy!

I feel like I have done too much today too! Just resting this evening and hopefully the cramps ease up tomorrow 🙏

Thank you. For some reason I have a positive feeling about this one, I have from the minute I got a positive test at 10dpo. I obviously don't want to jinx it but I'm also manifesting hard. I had really sore boobs at 7dpo but didn't get a positive test until day 10. But I just knew deep down I was pregnant when my boobs felt like that and ive never had symtpoms before a positive test either. The early nausea is reassuring. And last week I was on holiday, I was in the pool for the first time when 2 white feathers landed in front of me, I'm taking it as a sign from my babies.
Funnily enough I've told a friend who immediately started referring to it as she and is confident it's a girl so we shall see!

@Friedseasalt hope you have lots of rest & feel better in the morning 🤞🏻💖 cramps are so scary aren’t they.
Ive only just managed to get into bed, had to put all the shopping away and put the tot to bed 😴Cramps have subsided a little though so hoping I haven’t caused any damage ❤️

@CadoAvo it’s crazy how your body just knows, doesn’t it? I had such sore boobs with my daughter, they’re limp and lifeless this time 😂🥲

You sound so positive and confident! How sweet about the feathers. Have you had any food aversions or cravings yet?

@RozzieRoo not really any noticeable cravings or aversions but the nausea is ramping up, this morning is a struggle. We had ramen last night for dinner and the lingering smell in the kitchen wasn't nice. What about you?

I've also been getting really hot. Had to sleep with the window open. And go stand outside to cool down every so often haha.

@CadoAvo that’s good!! Although it probably didn’t smell it 😂😂 I’m okay, had fairly strong waves of nausea in the evening yesterday and occasional faint waves but nothing too bad today. But yes I completely understand with the getting hot!! I’m waking up in the night boiling (although in the day I couldn’t be any colder and really struggle to warm up! Really weird). must be hormones?

@Friedseasalt how are you feeling today?

@Babydreamer123 sorry I’ve only just seen your message about tracking!! I found the clear blue tests not as reliable in all fairness, how are your tests looking today? I’m going to do a digital tomorrow morning for the 3+ too, I’ll be 5+2 🤞🏻

i have had some brown discharge today 😣 AF is due around this time so praying it’s not a chemical. I have a pad on to monitor and keeping my fingers crossed but it’s so hard to relax 😣

@Friedseasalt fingers crossed for you! I have had brown spotting for a week since I had my bfp it’s just started to stop! I did also have the spotting before I tested (I’m a luteal spotter!)

The doctor and midwife I spoke too didn’t seem too concerned as long as it stayed brown and light so 🤞🏻 for both of us! Xx

@RozzieRoo got a darker test today, top yesterday bottom this morning! Bleeding has stopped and I'm nauseous, sore boobs, so all the right signs 👍🏼

Hey! I had spotting / pink discharge from the day before my BFP for about four days. I think it was just heavy implantation bleeding, which I didn't have with my first but it is normal. Try not to worry!

@RozzieRoo sorry forgot to attach

Thank you.. Going to test again in morning to see if my lines are getting any darker as they have been light. Hope you are all feeling okay. It's such an anxious time! Have you all had positive digitals? I've not been brave enough yet.

Yes got 1-2 last Friday, 2-3 on Monday and I’m going to do another one this weekend maybe even tomorrow to hope for 3+ (although I’ve heard they’re not that reliable but it’s nice peace of mind)

It’s such an anxious time - we all just need to look after ourselves and each other. It’s also so lonely isn’t it! Have any of you told anyone other than your partner?

Hello, I hope its okay for me to join? I'm 5 weeks tomorrow. Due on the 11th July! We've been TTC for a while, waiting for IVF. I've not experienced any symptoms, apart from fatigue and MASSIVE swelling in my boobs, I'm shocked!

I hope everyone is doing well! I've booked a private scan for 6.5 weeks. Like the majority of us, I'm also worried about getting my hopes up too much. Time seems to be going so slowly!

Congratulations that is wonderful news :)

@Babydreamer123 Yay so happy for you!! Nausea has ramped up for me today too I feel awful 🤢😂 your tests look great 😊

@Friedseasalt oh hun how are you this morning? I really hope you’re okay. Pinky brown spotting can be completely normal, I had it with my little girl for a couple of weeks ❤️ I think brown usually means old ❤️

@Eirlys75 welcome and congratulations!! 🥳 🥰 finally at the beginning of your next journey! It can be a really anxious time which is why it is much easier when there’s a group of you to chat about it all together! What date is your scan? X

Thank you! Even stronger today! Think I might hold off now and do a digital on Monday and hope for 3+! My boobs are SO swollen and achy, also had a headache today and so so tired!

Yes I can't believe it happened naturally! It's taken us both aback. My husband even booked a walking holiday to Montenegro last month with his friends...so that's now been cancelled 😂. My scan is on the 21st, the same day as my midwife appointment. What about you?

@Babydreamer123 lines are definitely getting darker there! My boobs are very painful and swollen at the moment as well! I'm also v lethargic and could sleep given any opportunity!

Ladies my digital at 5 weeks 3 days ❤️ @Babydreamer123 have you done yours yet? X

@Eirlys75 that’s such a lovely story ❤️ 🥰🥰 mines on the 15th (although it was actually booked before I found out to check for cysts but I’m sure I’ll get a sneaky peak). I swear these things happen when we least expect them to. We’d been trying for 8 months and I was ready to pack everything in last month and stop tracking altogether and it happened! How are you finding pregnancy so far?

Those tests look lovely 🥰
I done a digital last Monday at 4+6 and got 2-3 weeks. I don't have any digital left so don't know if I'll do another 😂

The nausea has been real this week and not taking it for granted as didn't have it like this in my last 2 pregnancies. Counting down the days until my early scan....2 weeks and 3 days to go 🤣

Hi everyone
I am 4w6d any feel like aside from swollen boobs, my symptoms have tapered off. Did anyone else experience the same? I had had some nausea, heartburn but all has disappeared.

@CadoAvo I guess getting that result that early tells you everything you already need to know!! 🥰🥰 I wouldn’t waste your money on another! Tbh I felt like I wasted my money to see that 3+ so I’m going to stop testing now 🙈 ooooh maybe two babies?? 👀👶🏼👶🏼

@Babydreamer123 please don’t worry, mine disappeared for days and I was convinced I was going to have a chemical (they still do disappear some days!) but they came back even stronger after a few days. I’ve attached my symptom tracker so you can see what I mean! The very first 2 dots are 3dpo for your reference. The same patterns of things coming and going were documented in my previous pregnancy. I hope this reassures you a little x
