Just had a tentative early bfp which would make me due Feb 2027. Super scary as we have a not quite 9 month old…fingers crossed it’s sticky.

Anyone else?

I’ve been buying them from Holland and barret. My nausea has really stepped up in the last 24 hours 😂 and feel like I will be sick if I don’t have one. How are you feeling? Have you got an early scan booked or waiting for 12 weeks? X or photo is the ginger sweets will take Abit to be approved

Due Feb 2027

Ooooo thanks so much I’ll have a look! Yeah honestly I was actually sick on Saturday for the first time at my partner’s dads and then Sunday I felt ok and then yesterday I felt so sick again and today I’m not so bad. I’m grateful for the good days but I don’t know what I’m waking up to each day! I am exhausted and I’ve got shortness of breath too I sent a drs form in this morning about that and the sickness so they want to see me but I’m in London today!! Have you had other symptoms?

I have booked an early scan for Sunday! I couldn’t wait my best friend had so much trouble and enddd up having to have IVF so I have all the worries in the back of my head! What about you? X

I'm going to tentatively join as just got my positive this morning, my due date would be 28th Feb. We were supposed to start trying for baby #2 from September, but had one spontaneous 'trying' and I guess it stuck. Still in shock that it happened immediately.

Anyone else 7 weeks? How are you feeling?

Apple2026 · 17/06/2026 10:12

@hazeleyesJme! This past week it’s been terrible nausea but it seems to have settled a bit today. How are you doing? Have you got your booking appt?

NoCheese2026 · 17/06/2026 10:32

I've got horrible constipation/pain after pooing - is this a pregnancy side effect in any way?!?! Wondering if it's to do with the embryo taking up water or something. Otherwise only feeling very tired

Bakingmummyxx · 18/06/2026 17:30

May I tentatively join please?
I got my BFP on 13/06 with a vfl. Due around 25/02/27 🤞
Im mum of 3 Earthside children and an angel baby. 😇 I had a MMC back in April. Baby stopped growing around 6 weeks.😢 I am full of anxiety.
Lost count of how many tests I've taken already 🙈
They do seem to be getting slightly darker which is giving me a bit of hope.🙏
Im not really getting any symptoms though which doesn't help the anxiety. Maybe getting sore boobs but not majorly so.
Im nearly 40 so I know that my clock is ticking.
Our last pregnancy wasnt planned but was very much wanted and loved (once we got over the shock 😅) The loss made us want to try for one more but didn't expect it to happen so soon. Wishing for sticky pregnancies for us all. ❤️

SlightlyTerrifiedButPolite · 19/06/2026 07:06

@BakingmummyxxI’m so sorry for your loss and hope things work out for you this time ✨💫🤗

I had a miscarriage at the end of February/into March and I’m now pregnant again with an IVF baby (I’m 36, I have endometriosis + clotting issue). I’m 5+1 today and will be my first baby if it works out 😅.

After what happened I don’t think there’s a point I will ever feel safe in the pregnancy which has actually made me feel more relaxed talking about it early. The only thing which made me feel worse post miscarriage was trying to pretend like I wasn’t going through it, which has made me more relaxed about telling people. A unexpected development. The whole conception journey for me has just been a marathon too, with surgery last year etc and I’m just too exhausted to pretend like this isn’t happening in my life.

I also have very few symptoms compared to other pregnancies I’ve had, which swings between making me anxious to instead thinking it’s possibly a good sign as they didn’t work out. I had very strong cramps before and swollen & sore boobs. And nausea. This time I’m just getting pelvic twinges and have slightly sore boobs, zero nausea (actually can’t stop eating if anything).

Are you thinking of booking an early scan? My clinic does a first scan at 7 weeks. Assuming all goes well with that, I’m going to try to get a couple of scans in between that and when we go on holiday at 12 weeks. My friend had a few miscarriages and told me she found it helpful to get scans every 2 weeks until she could feel the baby moving, sounded like a sensible compromise to me

she also said she made a list of things she wanted to buy but didn’t push the button on ordering things until later, helped her feel like she was preparing and having some excitement whilst not getting ahead of herself

how old are your other DC?

wishing you all the best xx

BananaMilkshake77 · 19/06/2026 09:42

Excited to join!
Got a strong positive earlier this week, day before period was due. We weren't trying but I just had a feeling. Over the shock now.

I already have DS who is 2.5 and planned to try end of year. I guess plans have just moved forward!

Previous miscarriage x2 before DS so I am feeling anxious. Dr has referred me for bloods then a 7 week scan.

Due Feb 2027
BVIre · 19/06/2026 11:10

Tentatively joining as well? I have a 2 year old already & got this this morning, my period not due until tomorrow but does anyone else see a line on these? I know it’s so early to test but I just felt off and thought there was no harm is doing it this morning.

EDD would be the 27/28th from working it out on the NHS website.

Due Feb 2027
SummerOak · 19/06/2026 13:05

Congratulations @BananaMilkshake77 and @BVIre !

@BVIre I see a clear line there, my EDD would also be 28th Feb and my test looks similar to yours.

onefortheroad3 · 19/06/2026 14:16

Hello can I join?!!!

Our first month of not preventing and we got a positive straight away! This will be baby no3 we have a 2 and a 3 year old and this feels very different somehow?! Still early days but feeling positive. Due around 25th Feb….i think! Early scan booked in 2 weeks time so now just to wait and to try and stop testing 🤦‍♀️🙊

SantiagoSister · 19/06/2026 14:43

Hi all, tentatively joining if you don’t mind. Found out this week I am pregnant with my second rainbow baby, after losing my first baby at 29 weeks. I am feeling incredibly anxious this time around, more so than in my first pregnancy after my loss. Would love a hand hold please! I will be due end of Feb/start of March if all works out 🙏🏻 hope you’re all doing ok.

lmw88 · 20/06/2026 06:51

Going to cautiously join also. Got positive test this week. Been trying around 18 months for no.2. Have a 3yr old. No major symptoms just really dull achy feeling in tummy. Found group on here for my LO supportive so looking forward to joining everyone on their journey

That must be so tough! Wishing you so much positivity!
Will you get extra scans to help reassure and monitor closely? X

Thank you so much ❤️ I am hoping I can get extra scans again this time as they really help to ease my worries, especially at this early stage when you aren’t able to feel any movements etc. It’s nice to know things are being kept an eye on as much as possible so hoping for that again this time if all goes well 🤞🏼

Bakingmummyxx · 21/06/2026 07:25

@SlightlyTerrifiedButPolite
So sorry for your loss also. Thank you for your well wishes. I hope things work out for you this time also.
I felt the same after last time. Pretending I wasnt going through it was heartbreaking. Almost like I was ashamed of the pregnancy, like i was pretending they didn't exist. I think for me anyway,I almost felt guilty,like I did something wrong and was ashamed of my body if you know what I mean. Shouldn't be that way though because I know miscarriages are not our fault.

I think this time I want to guard my heart a little more. Although you know MC is always a possibility, I didn't expect the last one at all. With having 3 previous healthy pregnancies/babies I took it for granted that things would be ok that time,and it wasn't. 😢

I don't know whether to go for an early scan or not. I paid for an early "reassurance " scan when I was meant to be 8 weeks and that's when my world fell apart. I started to bleed 2 days later.

I go on holiday when I'm around 10 weeks so when we return I'll be due my booking in scan etc so might just live in blissful ignorance until then. (If I get that far)
I bought a good few bits last time for baby. Christmas onesies, vests,a little santa suit,baby sleeping bag and had lots in my amazon basket saved for later. It broke my heart having to delete it all and unsubscribe to babyshop emails etc so Im not going to go all in this time.

Wish I could get excited but my anxiety is awful. Every twinge or cramp im freaking out and over thinking.

My DC are 21,8,7. This would be our wee plot twist baby that no one expects.

Take it easy. Wishing you a happy,healthy,sticky pregnancy. X

I'll be due around the same time if all goes well.
The amount of tests I've done is crazy! Ive ran out atm so can't test but I'm so close to ordering more on Amazon but trying to resist. 🫣

Ive no major symptoms atm either. Getting some light cramping and achy time to time.
I almost want the symptoms though so I know things are happening. 😅

Take care.

@SantiagoSister

Holding your hand. 🫱
Im so so sorry for your loss.
Your anxiety must be through the roof.
Have you been referred for any extra scans/tests or anything yet? Or do you want them?
Hoping all goes well for you this time hun. Try to take each day as it comes. Your feels and anxiety are completely justified.
Sending lots of love and hugs. ❤️

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that 🫲🏻 I feel so anxious and can already feel myself obsessing/stressing over every little thing like I did with my first rainbow pregnancy. I haven’t referred myself to the midwives yet, I will do it later today and hopefully I will be able to get some extra support and scans etc. Pregnancy after loss is so difficult isn’t it. I’m so sorry you’ve been through this too, it’s heartbreaking. Wishing you the best of luck and really hope things work out for you this time. I’m so glad to have support on here, it really helps me, thank you ❤️

I have an early reassurance scan booked for 8 weeks (so mid-July)- we did it first time for my son & it gave us the comfort of telling nearest & dearest at that point so plan to do the same again this time all being well.

we have a family wedding at the start of August so my close family will have to know by then otherwise they will totally clock me not drinking😂

Springcloud26 · 21/06/2026 18:06

I’ve also got an early scan booked for 8 weeks end June, I think I ovulated CD22 though so expecting to be behind. It’s my first time and couldn’t wait until the 12 weeks!
