Hi guys,

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

Hello 👋🏻

Hope it’s ok to join. Just found out Monday that I’m pregnant. I have a shorter cycle since coming off the pill 6 months ago so I think I’m only 4 weeks this Saturday.

It’s my second but I’m still terrified! Have been having some very minimal brown spotting but I also had that when I was pregnant with my first for the first 2 weeks so I’m hoping it’s nothing bad…

Heyy and Congratulations! I had some brown spotting around the day my period was due it’s so normal! Also my 2nd baby here too! How old is your first?

Bexxy28 · 22/05/2025 19:46

@SureLookaw I’m hoping for a good pregnancy for you! It’s so hard not to be anxious. I’m doing okay just unsure whether to wait until the 12 week scan or book an early one 🫣 not sure I can wait 6/7 weeks!

SureLook · 22/05/2025 20:10

@Henbags welcome! Spotting is totally normal which we all know but reason and logic goes out the window when you're pregnant 😂

@Bexxy28 I had an early scan with my first, I definitely can't wait. I'm gonna book a scan at seven weeks for sure!

I’m terrified too despite it being my second! My first had colic as a newborn and I’m keeping everything crossed this next baby is chill 😆

You’re definitely right there! It’s so hard to think logically when you’re in the pregnancy bubble! 😂

Jadeypie · 23/05/2025 06:56

@oldmcdonald87 my first had terrible colic too and I'm praying this one doesn't have to suffer with it! It's a nightmare isn't it xx

@Henbags no one mentions the terrible 3s do they haha my ds is 4 and he's turned into a little angel. He does think he's a teenager though he actually told me he was i couldn't stop laughing xx

Bexxy28 · 23/05/2025 06:57

@Henbagsohhh I feel the same and my son has only turned 1 🫣 he’s crazy! lol

@SureLookyeah I think I’m going to book an early one too for peace of mind 😅 I had one at 7w with my last baby and it definitely helped!

Balloonmum · 23/05/2025 08:02

@SureLook i know how hard it is when the tests aren’t getting darker. Just thought I’d let you know I haven’t had a dye stealer at all! This was my latest scan yesterday and everything’s looking good ❤️

Do you drink a lot of water? I feel I drink so much my urine is never concentrated enough to get a dye stealer. I’m 7 weeks 1 day. I think some people just do not get the progression others do!

I had a clear blue tell me it was still 1-2 weeks (should have been 2-3). Had a complete breakdown. Went and got bloods and my hcg levels were 1555 🤣

Due January 2026 ✨
SureLook · 23/05/2025 12:54

@Bexxy28 it definitely helps get through the first trimester!

@Balloonmum I got a fairly dark test this morning. That's reassuring about your scan ❤️ I do drink loads of water and I don't wanna stop doing that 😂

Hey,
i did, I think it was around the same as you 4wk +5.
and I’m pretty sure there’s only one. I am going for an early scan tomorrow, I THINK I’m 7 wk +1 now.
i feel like I’ve known I’ve been pregnant for ages!
I got my bfp on CD20, feels like forever ago 😂

It really does drag!

thanks, I’m so nervous though, I just want to know it’s all going well, as apart from sore boobs, I have no symptoms. Which plays with my head 🙈

SureLook · 23/05/2025 14:33

@Keewro best of luck for the scan!

I agree, knowing early can be painful cause it makes it soooo long 😂

no news is good news! i keep telling myself that x

let us know how you get on :)

Thegirlhasnamechanged · 23/05/2025 17:46

Had my first consultant led appointment this morning which is just bonkers to me given I’ve yet to book in with the midwife. Been told to start aspirin at 12 weeks (previous preeclampsia), will have extra scans at 32 & 36 and he’ll sign off now on a section if I want to go down that route. Successful appointment - and actually on time!

now to just keep ticking along until booking in and getting that dating scan in the diary 🤞

SureLook · 23/05/2025 17:58

@Thegirlhasnamechanged that all sounds great!

CatsCoffeeChocolate · 23/05/2025 22:08

Hi Ladies.

Hope it’s ok to join. I just tested positive today at 12dpo, currently 4 weeks exactly. From my periods I would be due on Jan 30th so I’m joining this group in hopes I will indeed have a January baby.

6th baby.
super excited and nervous at the same time.
HG in all my pregnancies, so bad I’ve been bed abound and hospitalised in the past.
doesn’t usually start until 7 weeks. So I really should enjoy being symptom free (besides dull aches and mild discomfort in lower stomach), but instead I will panic myself until I finally start vomiting and then regret ever wishing for it to return.

Due January 2026 ✨
SureLook · 23/05/2025 22:16

@CatsCoffeeChocolate welcome and congratulations. 6th baby, wow! Maybe this time you won't get HG 🤞🏻

CatsCoffeeChocolate · 23/05/2025 22:20

@SureLook thanks ☺️
yeah I know 6 is crazy, but I’m what my husband likes to call a “breeder” 😂
it will be our last baby since we will both be 36 when it arrives.
I was going to wait until I was closer to 40, but decided it might not be worth the risk of waiting and that if I knew for sure I wanted one more, we should just start trying now.
Im shocked because it’s the first time ever that we have fallen pregnant on our first month of trying.

SureLook · 23/05/2025 22:22

@CatsCoffeeChocolate aww it was meant to be then ❤️

CatsCoffeeChocolate · 23/05/2025 22:24

@SureLook I’m hoping so.
I regret finding out so early though, because I suck at waiting 😅
Not told my hubby, hoping to be able to hide it until Fathers Day 🤞🏻
Do you have other kids?
