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 🥰

I have been testing daily with cheapies as my anxiety is high after a loss.
I had a digital left over and thought I’d just use it up this morning!
I was 5 weeks yesterday so this has given me the comfort to stop testing daily now hopefully everything progressing fine 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hey everyone joining this thread got my very unexpected positive yesterday still in shock now….after our 2nd trimester loss in November last year still can’t quite believe it. We have two near 6 year olds at home as well … very nervous/excited. Due date is 14th January. Congratulations to everyone 💛

Hi everyone! Tentatively joining as I’ve had faint positives the last 2 days! We had a miscarriage in April so trying not to get my hopes up too much but it’ll be nice to chat to people at the same stage ✨

Sorry about your loss❤️

Great news with that digital! I should be about 4w5d based on LMP but my digital yesterday only said 1-2 weeks so not sure if maybe I’m not as far as I thought or my hcg just isn’t as high as it should be but hoping to get 2-3 on a digital this Sunday🤞🏻

Ive been trying for 7 months. I had a very very faint positive Friday evening, followed by a faint positive Saturday and a clear positive Sunday and Monday. I’m about 12dpo.

I also had a progesterone blood test Friday early morning and it came back 67!

I hope this stays ❤️

D842AFR · 05/05/2026 05:36

Joining the group too. Hopefully our first will arrive 9th Jan. It's our final embryo (IVF) so I'm a bit nervous trying to understand every symptom to work out what's normal, what's down to the meds and also any signs that it might not be going to plan...
Everything crossed for us all🤞🏽

feelingalittlehorse · 05/05/2026 07:17

I’m getting quite nervous, as my last pregnancy I had lots of symptoms, and this time the only one is my missed period and feeling very tired 😩😩 causing a lot of anxiety. Got a six week scan booked in next week due to a previous loss so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Teresa7 · 05/05/2026 16:18

Congratulations everyone ❤️

@feelingalittlehorse I had absolutely no symptoms in either of my first two pregnancies and they went absolutely fine! This time around however I have been getting loads of cramps that feel like period pains, ever since the about day 24 of my cycle, and I have been totally exhausted since about the same time too. Very odd!

Thank you @Teresa7 - I feel extremely stressed, I’ll be honest 😬
I’m refusing by to download any apps or even think about being vaguely pregnant until I’m a bit further along, as previously I’ve let myself get really excited and Plan Stuff and then it’s just harder when it doesn’t work out. I’ll re- download the pregnancy apps at my 20 week scan 🤣🤣

Lillybobs86 · 05/05/2026 19:48

@CW2211 Thank you so much xx That sounds about right for 4 weeks though that’s what I got around 4 weeks :)

@Ash2345fSo sorry to hear of your loss, I also had a second trimester loss earlier this year :(
Wishing us all healthy pregnancies 🙏🏽

@Teresa7and @feelingalittlehorseI also don’t have many symptoms and get worried when I don’t have sore boobs 🫣
I have cramping here and there and so hungry all the time though.

Today I had a tiny bit of pink streaked discharge 😬
I know it’s normal around this time and I had it in both my successful pregnancies but still get shocked when I see that tiny bit on the paper x

Ash2345f · 05/05/2026 20:47

Thanks @Lillybobs86 fingers crossed 🤞 has anyone ever felt freezing constantly during the early days honestly I cannot get warm no matter what I do at the minute! X

feelingalittlehorse · 05/05/2026 21:03

@Lillybobs86 - sorry to hear of your loss 💔 Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for all the lovely ladies here!!!

Don’t think my boobs have even realised I’m pregnant yet. They are just hanging about as usual, minding their business 🤦‍♀️ Thank you for your reassurance xxx

Me!! I’m 6 weeks today and it’s only just easing off, I was cold in my bones before then, shivering even when sunny and slept in my dressing gown! Never had it with my other two babies!

Same! I've had the heating on this morning!

Can I just check on symptoms for everyone else... It's my first time... How long do the twinges last for? They seem to be easing off now and it's making me a bit paranoid because I have no other symptoms at the moment. I know everythings fine but is it common for the twinges to go? (I'm 4 weeks)

My twinges stopped about 5 weeks and now 5.5 weeks every day I’m getting slowly more nauseous. Today I smelt some bean chilli and I nearly threw up 🙈

Okay great. I'll just enjoy the peace and quiet then, for now!

Ovulationstation · 06/05/2026 17:04

Hiii, can’t believe I’m back here. Pregnant with number 3 with an 8 month old 🙈 a real whoopsie pregnancy, but thrilled none the less. Hope it sticks now I’ve got my head around it! Also my husband just had the snip 😆

Bluehouse14 · 06/05/2026 20:42

Hi all, also joining. Due 10th Jan. Only just over 4 weeks pregnant. Also feeling anxious as we had a missed miscarriage in Jan (found at 10 weeks that it had gone around the 9 week mark). My cycles pretty much only just normalised when we got pregnant with what will hopefully be our third baby. Anxious at 39! Congrats to you all. Is anyone getting an early scan?

feelingalittlehorse · 06/05/2026 21:02

Hi @Bluehouse14 . yes, I’ve got a 6 week scan booked as I have had an ectopic previously. I’m really nervous, so just taking it each day creeping closer to the scan. I’m 36 so similar age to yourself 😊

mamatotwo98 · 07/05/2026 06:24

@Bluehouse14also my third baby and have a scan booked next Friday at 7+2 weeks 😇

Ovulationstation · 07/05/2026 09:16

@mamatotwo98how you feeling about baby number 3? How old are your other two? I’m so nervous I won’t lie!

Bluehouse14 · 07/05/2026 09:26

Ah you're a spring chicken! Sorry to hear about your ectopic. Exciting re scan. Ive also got one booked for 6 weeks by the hospital due to 2 previous miscarriages (they are being kind as I know the figure is 3) but I am tempted to push it back to 7 weeks (appreciate that your circumstances are different)

Bluehouse14 · 07/05/2026 09:28

mamatotwo98 · 07/05/2026 06:24

@Bluehouse14also my third baby and have a scan booked next Friday at 7+2 weeks 😇

Great congrats - Ive always wanted a third but my husband (only child) finally agreed now the youngest is off to school this year! Feels like I am way out of the baby stage but I think Ive got it in me 😂

mamatotwo98 · 07/05/2026 09:30

@Ovulationstationah congratulations!! 🙌🏼 I’m definitely nervous too! I found the jump from 1-2 harder than I imagined so I’m hoping that 2-3 comes a little easier (maybe just being optimistic) this baby was very much a surprise and my other children are Girl 5 in September and Boy 2 in July. I’m excited as I thought he would be my last of everything so it’s nice to do it one more time and for them to have another sibling to share childhood with. Husband works offshore so is hardly ever here for months at a time which worries me the most! 😩 how old are yours? Xx

Teresa7 · 07/05/2026 09:54

I’ve had nausea this morning. I didn’t get this at all with my first two, I’m really hoping this isn’t the start of proper morning sickness 😭

However despite the nausea, I’m also ravenous this morning. My husband bought a box of chocolate Cheerios-style cereal last night, which we never normally get as I don’t particularly care for cereal. But you’d best believe that didn’t stop me scoffing three bowls this morning. Probably not ideal… must try harder to eat healthily 🤣
