Thought I would make a thread for those due in March 2027, I joined a thread for my previous rainbow pregnancy in 2022 and I found it so helpful. I found out this week that I am pregnant with my second rainbow baby, after losing my first baby at 29 weeks. I am feeling incredibly anxious, more so than in my first pregnancy after my loss. Wishing everyone a smooth pregnancy ahead 🤞🏼

Congratulations! I've made an account so I can join you on this thread. I tested positive today 12DPO so have my fingers crossed that it sticks. Even though we were trying to get pregnant, it is still kind of terrifying!!

Thank you very much!
Welcome and congratulations @VioletTea27, I completely understand what you mean, this pregnancy was very much wanted and tried for and I still felt terrified when I saw my positive too. It’s been such a mixture of emotions over the last week!

Congratulations! I tested positive today. Will be my second. Im so happy but I’m 40 so I’m feeling more anxious this time around. Wish you all the best for your pregnancy x

Thank you @Sheequi, congratulations to you too! It’s definitely an added worry being older this time round isn’t it. Really hoping for a smooth journey for us all.

Ladies what DPO did you get your positives? I’m 6DPO today and desperately want to test! With my DD I got mine at 8DPO but I’ve heard that’s early

I got my first very faint line the evening of 8DPO. It’s hard having to wait to test isn’t it 😩

Please can I join as just found out I’m pregnant for the first time! I had a very faint positive on a strip test last night (negative digital) and woke up this morning to a stronger line and a positive on the digital - think I’m about 11DPO. Very anxious but very happy x

I managed TWW. I just wanted to make sure the test was accurate when I took it. I still don’t quite believe the positive test…I keep checking it!

Hi, I'd love to join, just found out I'm pregnant with my first over the weekend. I'm still in complete shock and it hasn't sunk in tbh...the anxiety is off the charts. Congrats to everyone who's just found out, praying for a smooth and safe journey for us all x

I had stark white tests until yesterday when I was 12DPO - was very faint on a cheapy so did a digital and came back positive!

I picked up a 5 pack of clear blue early tests so will start tomorrow morning at 8DPO and then do one every morning😭

Saw this, and it made me smile.

Nearly 13 years ago joined the March due 2014 group and honestly was one of the best decisions I made. Found a wonderful group of supportive women, whom have built real life friendships with. We are planning a big meet up later this year, having successful done a few mini meet ups over the years.

Wishing you all well with your pregnancies, and that this little group grow into your support community who are there for you when you most need it whether to cheer you on, offer advice or to give you a virtual hug.

You’ve got this. 💪

JesseMumsnet · 24/06/2026 10:19

Hey ladies,

Congratulations! Lots of exciting things happening in this thread 💕

Hope it’s okay to jump in, it's pretty relevant and hopefully will benefit you all.

I work at Mumsnet we're testing a new service called Birth Clubs at the moment: a small group of parents at the same stage in pregnancy or up to 1 year old with professional support on hand when needed to answer any of your questions.

If you'd like to help test it you'll get the following for 6 weeks:

  • Free access to a nurse or midwife who you can message any time
  • Free content relevant to your stage, designed by our health team
  • Free drop in live classes on feeding, sleeping, baby first aid and more!

Might be up your street, no pressure at all. Sign up on this LINK if you're interested. We only have 100 spots.

Hope to chat to some of you there.

Jesse x

Due March 2027

That’s so lovely @PramsEar, how nice that you’re all still in contact and have built lasting friendships from your due date thread. I found similar with my previous due date thread, we are in touch every day and it’s so lovely to have supportive people around you who are also going through things at the same time as you are. I really hope the same for this group too ❤️

Might be time to change my username.
Did a test this morning (24/06) as was due to start period on Sunday (21/06). Definitely positive but test was bought a year(ish) ago and while still in date I'm not sure I can trust it. This is my first time being this late and I've been fighting to keep excitement down. This month marks 2 years since I came off the pill and we started trying.
Seeing the two lines was amazing! And now I'm at the point of "Oh shoot, now what?"
Testing with new test tomorrow (still a cheapie from Sainsbury's) and then will do self referral but oh my gosh I'm suddenly not prepared.

That’s amazing @ImpatientlyTryingToConceive, congratulations!! So pleased it’s finally happened for you. Even though we’ve been trying it still comes as a shock doesn’t it 😅

I feel like the test is lying and I can't trust it and at the same time I'm there going "Oh my gosh, I'm not ready. Is it too late to back out? Kids are scary!"
But then saying out loud "I'm going to be someone's mom." Butterflies soar and heart sings.
