Anyone due in October 2026?

[Mamabear256]

Just looking to see if anyone is like me and just found out they are pregnant and due early October? Would be good to make a thread and chat with each other x

I’m feeling a little tired but it’s hard to know if that’s just from parenting 2 small children already 🤣 the cramping seems to have stopped but I do feel bloated and sort of ‘full’ already! Still having my PT sessions at the gym and want to try keep going. I really want to try have some sort of specialist support this time pre and post birth as, after 2 sections, my core is just not what it should be - does anybody know if such a thing actually exists and, if so, what they’re called?

I use my private physio for this- makes sure the exercises are safe and suitable. I had a level of diastasis recti after my section but no trouble after my VBAC. But good for keeping well (I am hyper mobile and breastfeeding so lots of laxidity in my joints without being pregnant again 🤣)

I’ve also got some hypermobility and have such achey hips since my pregnancies! I’ve just felt like a potato since I had my second so I really want to get my shit back together rather than getting rounder after this one!

Yes potato here too. My weight dropped off after my first in 4 months and I was so slim….this time an extra stone still kicking around and there is no getting rid of the excess skin on my tummy without drastic action! I would definitely get yourself a good physio. I visit mine regularly to keep me well.

I cycle a lot with the kids on the back and I feel so much slower than normal. My resting heart rate has already gone from 54 to 60 and I had my first afternoon nap today 😂 Starting to feel pregnant!

Hope the scans go well for those with scans.

This is what my discharge was like all last week! I thought I was spotting. There has been no real pain/cramping but it’s unsettling.

@Clks98 yea it’s so unsettling and I started to panic and now I’m symptom spotting no matter what! How many weeks are you?x

I’m 5 weeks 1 day today according to LMP. I tested positive on the 24th. How long did you have it for? I noticed it a day after my BFP and it persisted all week, seems to have stopped as of Friday but I’m constantly checking. Tests still seem okay.

Hi ladies,
Got a faint positive on Thursday and have tested everyday since - actually did it twice Thursday just to be sure 😆
little girl has just turned 2 and I had terrible sickness with my last pregnancy until 22 weeks and I’m starting to feel nauseous already and I’m sure it didn’t kick in this early last time. Will be 5 weeks on Tuesday!
not sure when I will decide I’ve done enough tests 🤣 maybe when my clear blue goes from 2-3 weeks to 3+

@Clks98 i am 5 weeks today and it only started today and it’s very slight! But it’s just the cramps that make me worry but it’s probably normal!! My pregnancy test is still saying 3+ weeks so that’s a good sign x

Got a rise on the digital so gonna stop the daily testing 😅
Hope those with scans today get on great!

Midwife called me back this morning following my email on Friday about the spotting. Has referred me to EPU so I may get a scan sooner than I thought. The pink tinged discharge started up again last night and I’ve had upset stomach/nausea this morning. Test line now much stronger than control line. Hope everything is okay ❤️

That’s good news. I had spotting with my first and pink tinged discharge and my mum said she had it when she was pregnant so I think although all these things are alarming they are quite common. Xx

Thank you for the reassurance! It is so alarming at this stage. If you don’t mind me asking, how long did you have the pink discharge for?

I can’t remember now but I was screaming in agony with stomach pain with her as well- admitted to hospital as I became so unwell over a few weeks, everyone was convinced it was ectopic….she is now 5!

Morning, I just got the absolute faintest positive on my second pee of the day (first is always really diluted cause I drink lots in evening)
But it came up to the panel SO much faster than any other tests do. I also tested the same pee a bit later (15 mins?) and it was a clear negative.
Sooo unsure if this is a real positive or a very unfortunate dodgy test.
9DPO so is extremely early 😬

I can see it, looks like how mine started! ☺️🤞🏼

I've just learned that if you put them next to LH tests they can pick up the dye 🙄 so not entirely convinced which is so frustrating but I can hope. Really hope tomorrow gives me a clearer answer!

Does anyone else not have symptoms yet? I start to feel nauseous if I’m hungry and I’ve noticed a slightly heightened sense of smell but nothing other than that! I had sore boobs last week that’s stopped. I know I should be grateful for the lack of sickness but it reassures me to know there’s something there causing it!

I’m 5+2 and nothing yet. But my nausea usually kicks in around 6 weeks which I think is when it’s most common to anyway. How far along are you?

Oh yes this is true too. I got a false positive a couple months ago by weeing on an OPK and pregnancy test at the same time. I was not pregnant but it was quite an obvious line on the pregnancy test

So frustrating!! Was it more obvious than the one I posted? X

Only slightly more obvious! Hopefully tomorrow gives you a clearer answer 🤞🏼

I’m only 4 weeks today and the tiredness has hit- it’s another level. This would be my 2nd baby but 5th pregnancy and I really can’t remember when things happened the times before.

Last week I knew I was pregnant before testing because of the symptoms I just felt pregnant.. nausea mainly and sore boobs.

Id say now boobs are on and off and nausea isn’t as bad as last week but the tiredness - wowwwww.

All are so different though, it’s so hard at this stage not to compare and worry etc but pregnancies are so different from one person to the next, even pregnancies for the same person can be so different so try not to compare and worry, and at this point take the win that you feel okay. I wish I had some more energy today 😴

Hello! What’s everyone’s progression like with pre mom? I’ve not got 2-3 weeks yet on clear blue digital and I did with my first baby at this point. HCG was 79 via blood test on Thursday (11DPO) so that’s good but do worry about this clear blue issue. This is my progression on pre mom, is anything else had similar?
