Due January 2026 ✨

[KLK94]

Hi guys,

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

Sorry to hear being physically sick at night. This happened to me this time round was waking up to 10 times to be sick. Thankfully with the meds it’s calmed down a lot!

You just don't realise how hard pregnancy can be untill you are!

I had a a awful nights sleep was you from 1 till 5 please bk up at 6 to start the day 😴😴

Anyone else's sore boobs got worse? Mine were tender from my bfp but now I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and WOW! I was washing my hands last night and as my arms touched the sides of my boobs the pain was horrific lol, rolling over in bed hurts😅 if anyone else is the same have you swapped to softer bras or found anything that helps?

I'm hoping the increase in pain is a good sign 🥰🤞xx

@TigerLily38 oh no! I have tiny boobs so they’re not super uncomfortable but they are really hard and the nipples look bigger. My main symptom is still sickness all day but it’s manageable with the sea bands. I feel tired etc but I can just about cope. Food wise I am only eating apples bananas crackers and crisps - very nutritious indeed!!!!

Yeah you really don’t. Or you forget how hard it was the first time round 🙈🙈 I hate those awful nights they are the worse then feel like a zombie the next day xx

Mine are the same and seem to get worse of a evening I've swopped to a good sports bras xx

It’s getting silly now. I’ve just had yet another post-shower nap. My days consist of feeling sick, eating and then needing a nap. I’ve never known anything like it! Mum’s just phoned to see if I’ll go out with her and I’m genuinely concerned we’ll be out too long between food and naps 🤣

Anyone else pooing all the time? 😩

Also had throwing up every now and then (only once each day fortunately).

I have my 12 week scan now booked for the 25th.

Anyone else have their scan date?

@SureLook all went well on the scan, I was so scared to look at the screen but heart beat appeared flickering away as soon as it came up 😊 I don't think you ever relax but at least I now know things are progressing. Measuring 6+4 exactly as I thought.

I’ve got my dating scan date 30th June which seems ages away.

however got a private reassurance scan tomorrow. I’m so nervous for it 😅

I feel you on the naps. I’ve been on annual leave this week and I’ve been having 2 hour naps every afternoon. And then a hour between dinner and bed. 😅

Exciting!! How far roughly are you now? I can imagine the nerves, I’m sure I’ll be a nervous wreck by the time I have mine 😅

The wait for the dating scan seems soooo long, I forgot how tedious the first trimester is!

9 weeks and 3 days. Like I’m so excited but so nervous even though I’ve been so ill I’m trying to take that as a good sign!

how far are you?

it’s the longest wait. I don’t understand why we don’t have one around 8 weeks then again around 12 🙈

Aww i have mine next Friday and I keep getting the what if thoughts creeping in!

Im sure all will be fine tomorrow and the sickness is defo a good sign so just keep thinking that.

Ive been tempted to bring my scan forward because of the waiting hahs I havnt even had a appointment for my dating scan yet xx

Oh same with the naps and wake up feeling awful and pissed off xx

Yes this is me. Hadn’t thought about it but this last week I’ve had that thought in the back of my mind which is silly.

im sure once I’ve had the scan I feel a lot better and that’s how I’m looking at it. Sickness is a good sign.

oh I would do the same. That was me last week. I was like should I just bring it forward but then I thought no go away keep it the same date. It be ok! Hopefully get your dating scan date asap! Xx

@Tinytotdriver @Sunshinemoom aware that each bit of the NHS will work differently but how long do you reckon it was from your booking in to getting your scan date through?

only asking as my children have a training day on 30th June and Sod’s Law will be that mine is on that day so want to plan alternative childcare or put my mind to rest!

My booking in I got an email for the appointment two days after doing my referral which I had at the end of May, and then my dating scan. I got through the post maybe 2 weeks after doing the referral. It was so quick, but I do remember with my son because it was in Covid. I didn’t have my booking an appointment until I was about 10-11 weeks and my dating scan when I was 13-14 weeks.

Ah I had my booking in appointment earlier this week and will keep checking the nhs app to see if anything gets put on it then. I’m 9+2 so hopefully shouldn’t be too long until a date arrives

@Jadeypie completely agree! I forgot the tiredness 😫 and it's even worse now with a toddler. I can't just rot on the couch 😂

@TigerLily38 same! I'm 6+4 and the boob soreness ramped up on Sunday. I've adjusted the way I hug, hold my toddler, lie in bed etc. It definitely gets worse as the day goes on.

@RealTealQueen naps are key. I went shopping with my sister and niece last week (they don't know I'm pregnant yet) and I nearly had to ask for a break. I was exhausted from just walking slowly around browsing 😂

@Tinytotdriver I'm more constipated but it's not too bad. I've a private scan booked for next week and then the NIPT booked for two weeks after. I'm going overboard after my loss 🙃

@Miracledust29 aww, I'm absolutely delighted to hear that ❤️

@Sunshinemoom keep us posted for tomorrow and best of luck!

@Thegirlhasnamechanged I just got my 12 week scan for 2nd July. Haven't actually had my booking appointment yet as I asked to wait until after my next early scan on the 17th which they were kind enough to agree to.

I’ve got a private scan booked for Sunday. My husband just pointed out that I must have read my rota wrong and I’m actually at work then… I’ll have to phone first thing tomorrow and see if they’ll let me rearrange. What an idiot!

I had my booking in appointment with my midwife and I’m booked in for a scan on 24th June. Il only be 9 weeks but as I have had difficult previous pregnancies they want to scan me then and see the consultant. I will then have my 12 week scan booked in at the same time.

The sickness has been horrible. I’m not actually being sick, but just feel sick all day. I’m also absolutely exhausted and the last couple of days have had sore boobs. I think I’m 6 weeks 5 days.

I told my boss at work due to the appointments and she has been lovely. Haven’t done wider work yet as two people are going through IVF and not quite sure what to say or how to say.

Awww I've felt the same from 6 weeks with the sickness but I will say 7 and 8 weeks was the absolute worst and now 10 im starting to pick up abit. Don't get me wrong I feel like shit but not as bad as I was.

I think it's best telling your boss early just saves the fibbing and getting a risk assessment is important. I got signed off for two weeks with my sickness and it was the best decision for me by the time I go back I can let everyone know in work and won't be so hard then xx

Also is anyone's hair falling out? Mines been terrible. Ive got a lot of hair tbf but wow it's shedding bad to the point I got worried today after washing it with the amount that's comes out xx
