Has anyone else been struck down by extreme tiredness? I’ve an 11 and 2 year old but finding myself exhausted and wanting a nap. Even early nights isnt helping. I’ve gone off fizzy and hot drinks, even my morning brew, and barely an appetite

Yep! My others are 6 and 8 and I don't remember being this exhausted when pregnant with them. I keep thinking it's age/im in a different job now etc but I literally need a nap most days!! Im 10 weeks tomorrow hoping it will get easier soon. Also im eother starving or feel sick no in-between!

I hope everyone is having a healthy pregnancy ❤️ my little one is due May 10th, i am 10 weeks today ❤️

LunaLoo21 · 14/10/2025 14:08

Hope everyone is doing well! I feel awful, so sick and exhausted. We went for a private early reassurance scan last Wednesday and it was such a lovely experience. We got to see a little blob with arm and leg nubs and a lovely fluttering heart beat. I was measuring exactly 8 weeks, so 9 weeks tomorrow! Very glad we decided to get the scan, it's definitely made me feel better during this long wait to 12 weeks. Hope you're all having a happy healthy pregnancy so far 💕

girlabouthome · 14/10/2025 17:21

This is my 5th pregnancy - expecting baby number 4 (a surprise).

I’m really struggling, currently 10 weeks and feel so nauseous and exhausted.

I am panicking about when this will peak as I can’t remember with the others… I do remember not turning a corner until week 15/16 though.

Sending you all lots of love xx

Mom2manykids · 14/10/2025 21:44

I’ve had no symptoms apart from wanting to eat all the time. I’m 8 weeks and have an early scan booked for tomorrow 🤞

magpie234 · 14/10/2025 23:12

I am feeling similar to how most seem to be… still nauseous and zonked! It is gruelling. Got a private scan booked for Thursday morning (am 12 weeks on Fri) and am so anxious for it. Then NHS one the following Friday for the combined screening test. So hoping to clear that hurdle and hopefully start feeling better soon and more excited than miserable! I hope the same for everyone else.

@Mom2manykids long may that continue for you and hope your scan goes well tomorrow!

FirsttimemummrsJ · 15/10/2025 08:41

Hi ladies!
Jumping on here as I'm about 11 weeks now with our 2nd and the constant nausea and tiredness has been horrendous. Wondered if there was a FB group or a WhatsApp group for ladies due in May? Got our 12 week scan booked next week and are finding out the gender this time...eek!

magpie234 · 15/10/2025 12:13

So my symptoms seem to be getting worse at nearly 12 weeks… have so far mainly had (horrible constant) nausea but have now started actually being sick too. I thought it was supposed to be starting to get better! I am on Xonvea but it seems to be breaking through… pregnancy hates me.

Sprinkleofmagic · 15/10/2025 20:48

We had a scan at EPU today as I’m not too sure how far I am as I’ve only had one period since my Sept 23 baby and that was in May. They’ve dated me 7+6 however, after emptying my bladder post scan I had very pinky blood. We’ve gone from ‘congratulations’ by the sonographer after seeing the little heartbeat to ‘let’s see what happens’ by the nurse/midwife. Hoping it’s going to be something but nothing and passes letting us continue this journey

Judgejudysno1fan · 18/10/2025 11:18

Hi may gang.

I had a scan also this week ar the early pregnancy unit. I looked at my heslth app and says im 10+5 days instead of 10+4 and baby is meauring 4cm which is 11 weeks growth. and my due date has now moved from 9th May to the 8th. Im confused as to how I can be 11 weeks pregnant now, as I had miscarriage 11 weeks ago on the dot , and didn't have sex to almost 2 weeks later.
Im having another scan which is the 12 week scan in just over a week so maybe will get a clearer idea then. A lot of people are saying no those days add up as that 11 weeks includes 2 weeks of conception and first day of last period.... so maybe im just really thick!!! 😕 🫤
The scan showed baby is happy and heartbeat is good and they dont know why im spotting.

Still struggling with dizziness, low appetite, sick all the bloody time. But im happy im nearing 12 weeks and hoping the all day long morning sickness subsides!!!
How's everyone else doing???!!!! X

Hope it turns out to be nothing also.
My last baby was 2023 also.
All my love 💓

Hi! Yeah they add it from the daye of your last period which i already find so bizarre! My due date currently 12th May but they said it will probably change on my 12 week scan. Im 10+6 today. Slowly starting to feel normal again but then I panic I don't feel pregnant lol. Energy levels certainly feel better although I have also been off work for 2 weeks (night shifts) so that could also be to do with that lol. Counting down days until scan! Each one gives me reassurance that baby is ok!!! MC in May this year and a bleed with this one so constantly on edge!! Xxxx

magpie234 · 19/10/2025 09:49

How is everyone going? I feel like am always on here complaining about my symptoms but wanted to ask if anyone has struggled with bad acid reflux and what if anything has helped? Mine has got a lot worse around 11/12 weeks and is really affecting my life and sleep. It feels like my entire digestive system is bathing in acid, so much burning (but in a kind of icy cold way?), bubbling and twisting. I often feel like something is stuck in my throat and have been sicking up acid a lot (sorry) which hurts! It feels like anything I eat just sits there causing pain, making it very tricky to know what to eat/how much/when, especially when I still have no appetite. Going to call my GP tomorrow but any pearls of wisdom most welcome as from what I read this usually only gets worse not better!

It unfortunately won't help today but if your GP will prescribe omeprazole it was honestly game changing for mine last pregnancy. Until then sleep propped up on lots of pillows- and gaviscon and rennies by the dozen!

magpie234 · 19/10/2025 14:03

@BeastAngelMadwoman Thank you! I am going to ask for it first thing tomorrow

girlabouthome · 23/10/2025 18:39

Anyone had sickness go… feel smug and then it come back again.

I’m 10 weeks 😭 also trying to nightwean baby number 3 so I can hopefully get more sleep!

Has anybody else had pink discharge when 9 weeks pregnant? Ive only had it twice in the last few days and it was just when I wiped after going for a wee but really panicking that somethings going wrong, it took us 7 years to concieve, we went for a private scan on the 14th October and baby was measuring fine 7weeks 6days with a strong heartbeat

Hi. I had brown/pink but that was following a crimson red patch on my tissue. Mine lasted on/off for 2 weeks and then disappeared. Keep eye on it and if your not comfortable get on touch with EPU or midwife x

Yes, this is my 4th and I’ve bled every pregnancy.

There is a lot of growth and stretching, it’s very normal - but so normal to worry xx

Mom2manykids · 24/10/2025 12:51

Hi all I haven’t been on for ages, have been bleeding, went for a scan last week and I had an internal to find out what the bleeding was but they couldn’t find a reason why I was bleeding. The scan also showed an empty sac. They took bloods for HG and they came back at 25 thousand so they said I had a blighted ovum and I was to be rescanned before discussing options.
i went back today for my rescan and there is a fetal pole inside the sac 😳 so I now need to go back in 10 days to see there is any progression 😳 my head is scrambled

I had a blighted ovum during my first pregnancy and had the tablets to pass the pregnancy.

I have heard of this before though, and I often wonder if I had of just waited for nature - I would have been more content with the phase of my life.

Hope everyone is doing well. I’m bumping along at 13 weeks here and hoping to get some energy back soon after a very tiring first trimester!
Just wondering if others are starting to get results if they’ve opted into combined screening? I had my scan and blood tests last week. I called my community midwives to see if there’s an ETA on when I’ll get my results, and they seemed to suggest I wouldn’t hear anything until I attend my 16 week appointment! I’m assuming they’ll get in touch earlier if something doesn’t look right on the blood tests? The NT measurement on the scan was fine (1.6) but the scan summary also flags that the sonographer’s view was limited by an awkward fetal position…

Jenny124501 · 28/10/2025 16:37

Hi everyone ❤️ i just had my scan 12 week scan today and my little baby was kicking away! Baby is due May 11th. I wish everyone a happy healthy pregnancy.

magpie234 · 28/10/2025 17:09

I also had mine today (though am 13+4) and it went well thankfully. Combined screening results good too. Due date 1 May. Hope everyone is doing well and starting to feel a little better!
