Hi guys,

if like me you’ve just got your BFP, then it’s likely you’re due in January too!
congratulations.

Hi girls! Found out last week I’m pregnant but not sure exactly how far I am. Going by my LMP I’d be 5+5 today or going by when I think I ovulated I’d be 5 weeks tomorrow! Took these tests today and would probably go with being 5 weeks tomorrow!

Due January 2026 ✨

Hi @Bexxy28 I recognise you from other threads! Welcome and congratulations!

Thank you! Abit nervous, 2nd baby but still feel like I’m doing it for the first time 😂 how are you getting on?

Hello everyone,

Hope it’s ok to join. Due date is 27/01 so I’m currently 4 weeks 1 day. I’ve already got a 3 year old and was hoping I’d be less anxious this pregnancy but so far anxiety has been high! I’ve not seen the same line progression on tests as I did with my last pregnancy so it’s hard not to compare and worry! Having a few minor symptoms though so praying all will be ok 🤞🏻 I hope everyone is getting on ok x

How’s everyone’s sickness? I’ve been bedridden for the last two days, feeling so nauseous and actually being sick. Been prescribed medication from the doctors which may have helped the tiniest bit but I don’t know how I’ll be able to go back to work tomorrow (im a teacher 😭). I’m about 6w5days, early scan on Saturday too!!

I’m just ahead of you at 7wks 3 days and I’m the same. Sickness has been horrible and actually being sick too. Had to pull the car over on the way back from my food shop yesterday.
Aw I really feel for you having to teach a class while feeling like that 😥hopefully your meds will take the edge off. I hope your first day back goes smoothly x

Moosey898 · 21/05/2025 18:57

@SureLook I'm 6+5, finally bit the bullet and booked a scan for 8+3 (going away just as I hit 8 weeks so if it is another missed miscarriage I'd like to enjoy my weekend away before bad news!)

BGxxx · 21/05/2025 19:31

@Bexxy28 @oldmcdonald87 hey ladies! I’m due end of Jan with my 2nd too!

Moosey898 · 21/05/2025 19:31

@ttcjourney20001 you ok?

@ttcjourney20001 you ok?

All is well, strong heartbeat found, all in the right place, measuring ahead which makes EDD 30/12/25. Cramping was due to a lot of gas and constipation, she saw the trapped gas on the ultrasound, also have an inverted womb that’s trying to flip into normal position. Everything perfect 🥰 see photo

Due January 2026 ✨

Exciting! What’s your due date? How old is your first?

newbaby3 · 21/05/2025 21:12

@oldmcdonald87 going by my last period I am also due on 27th January!

lifebeginz · 21/05/2025 21:24

Well I have had a good day symptoms wise! After a week of awful nausea I woke up this Morning feeling somewhat human. Some very mild nausea waves throughout day but nowhere near what I had been feeling. I won't get too comfortable as I am sure it won't last but it has been nice to get some respite and catch up on some things I have let slip like the washing pile and having a shower 😳 I swapped over from 1 B6 vit a day to a smaller dose taken twice a day so I don't know if that has made a difference or just a coincidence. Either way I feel grateful to have have had a day to feel a little like myself.... bracing myself for waking up back to the nausea and rushing to the toilet tomorrow AM

BGxxx · 21/05/2025 21:38

@Bexxy28 @oldmcdonald87 29th Jan at the moment! My little one will be 2 at the end of July xx

SureLook · 21/05/2025 21:41

@Bexxy28 second baby too! I had an MMC in January so I'm a bit anxious. How are you doing?

@oldmcdonald87 welcome! Are you testing every day?

@WanderWalker sorry to hear you're sick too.

@Moosey898 fingers crossed for your scan 🤞🏻

@ttcjourney20001 that's fantastic news!

@lifebeginz great to hear you had a better day!

Jadeypie · 22/05/2025 05:51

@Moosey898 brilliant news 🥰 xx

@oldmcdonald87 going by my last period I am also due on 27th January!

Hello due date buddy!

@BGxxx Aw lovely age!

@SureLook No I’ve been testing every other day. Yesterday’s was maybe slightly darker but I think my tests were darker by this point with my first DC. But wondering if perhaps I ovulated later than I did that time. Time will tell. I’m going to leave it a week now before I take anymore as it’s not good for my mental health but I’d still like some reassurance that it’s progressing. I hate first trimester! 😆

SureLook · 22/05/2025 06:57

@oldmcdonald87 I'm testing every second day too. But I had a wobble yesterday and was convinced my test wasn't darker so my partner made me do another one and it definitely was. I think we can get consumed with it! Also, after my MMC I know that line progression means nothing sadly. But I don't want to stop 😂

oldmcdonald87 · 22/05/2025 07:03

@SureLook Really sorry to hear about your MMC. That must have been awful.

Yeah I’ve also seen posts where people’s tests have been fairly light/show no progression and they end up having a healthy baby. The anxiety is so hard isn’t it. The first trimester wait feels sooo long. Are you going to have an early scan? I didn’t with my first but if my tests keep worrying me, I may have to convince DH this time.

SureLook · 22/05/2025 07:07

@oldmcdonald87 thank you. It's definitely adding to the first trimester anxiety! I'm going to book one for when I'm seven weeks. I'll be a wreck cause that's when my MMC baby passed. Then I'll do the NIPT at nine weeks and then wait until the 12 weeks.....maybe 😂

HazelPeer · 22/05/2025 08:48

SureLook · 21/05/2025 15:34

@Moosey898 aww, that's so hard. How far along are you now?

@TigerLily38 I'm glad you're feeling better now!

@PilatesAndLattes I've a two and a half year old. She's in creche full time though so I only have to deal with her in the evenings and the weekends 😂

@Thegirlhasnamechanged oh the glamour of it all!

@HazelPeer welcome and congratulations! I'd say your pain is just round ligament pain from all the growing and stretching.

@KLK94 can us Irish join the FB group? It says UK only 😂

@Ivebeenthinkingtoomuch aww sorry to hear you're feeling so rough.

@geordiegal87 welcome! Your bloods seem good. I'm sure they're just being cautious in the EPAU.

Pain has eased off today I was getting scared.

SureLook · 22/05/2025 10:35

@HazelPeer glad to hear it. There will be lots of twinges and cramps at this early stage.
