I couldn’t see an existing thread, so I thought I’d start one. If there is one already going, please point me in the right direction - though I imagine there are not many people due in this month just yet!!

I just found out I’m pregnant. I’ve calculated my due date to be the 1st of January 2027.

This is my third pregnancy. It’s come as a bit of a shock, but a very happy one! My first two were quite close together, and I thought I’d left the baby phase behind. I also gave away all our baby stuff already 🫠

It would be nice to chat to others in the same stage of pregnancy as we go through it all together 🥰

@Doglover84 I’m not far behind you (5+1) and wondering when it will start… At the moment, I just feel slightly queasy in the evening but I’m sure it’s on its way! 😣When did your morning sickness start for your last pregnancy? What meds can you ask the GP for?

This is all very new to me so I don’t know what to expect (or what will help!). Thank you x

I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and I'm definitely feeling a bit queasy and didn't fancy an iced coffee when I walked past starbucks this morning which is v unusual for me!

Last time definitely between weeks 6 and 7ish i think. I got cyclizine from the docs and then something else I can't remember the name of and it took the edge off a bit. I think there's various ones you can get just depends what your GP will prescribe!

Whats so hard for me is cooking the dinners for the family - no idea what to cook or everything smells yuk when it’s cooking 🙃

I won't be going near the kitchen for the next few weeks. Last time the smell of opening the fridge sent me over the edge 🤮

Sorry to jump in @Doglover84and @GreenwichPipsmy sickness last time started just under 6 weeks. I was originally prescribe cyclizine. It didn’t work for me so I was prescribed Prochlorperazine and Doxylamine. The drs were good when I told them when meds didn’t work. I did end up with HG last time so also ended up on IV anti sickness a couple times a week to help.

Will definitely be getting sickness meds this time, i’m already having waves of nausea at 4+5, if it fully kicks in or gets worse im going to be straight on the phone to gp.

When pregnant with my DD I just slept and rode it out, had awful nausea until week 18, it was really debilitating, now I have a 15 month old tasmanian devil i’m not going to have that same luxury 😅

Yeah don’t just try push through.

I was the same with my first just pushed through it was Covid time so struggled to get GP appt. Looking back I was properly borderline HG that pregnancy as well 😩
