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 🤞🏼

Longbin · 03/07/2026 06:23

I’d be keen for WhatsApp, so much easier to keep up with!

PrettyPleaseXo · 03/07/2026 06:23

I’d love a WhatsApp group I’m useless at keeping up with Mumsnet x

Strawberrymilkshake2 · 03/07/2026 06:35

Yayy a WhatsApp group, I also just found out I’m pregnant and don’t trust Facebook won’t tell my friends if I join a due in March group! I’m up for WhatsApp whenever anyone else is! There’s nothing better than people to chat to that are all going through the same thing! X

Strawberrymilkshake2 · 03/07/2026 06:36

Tell you what. PM me numbers and I’ll start the WhatsApp group now x

Tested negative this morning, so I think I've had a chemical and will start bleeding soon. Absolutely gutted but is what it is. Best of luck x

@Strawberrymilkshake2 just PM’d you!

I slept like a log last night for the first night since finding out so feeling particularly bright eyed and bushy tailed! Hope everyone else who’s been struggling with sleep had a better night x

Hi everyone,

I’m 3+4 today based off of my last LMP. Got my BFP at 8dpo as most of you know. I’ve been cramping on and off for the last few days but today I have really noticed it, it isn’t localised to one spot it actually moves around quite a bit. It’s not intense or sharp (unless I sneeze, then it feels like I’ve pinched my ovary) I don’t remember cramping until I was actively miscarrying with my last pregnancy. Is this normal? Obviously my brain has just gone right back to April and I’m trying not to overthink it. Anyone else experienced this and everything was okay?

Wishedfor2021 · 03/07/2026 19:34

@Emmie93 just to hopefully give you a little peace of mind, I’ve got two children already and in both of my pregnancies with them, I had cramping on and off which at some points felt quite strong and the exact same as you describe when sneezing! This is my third pregnancy, and again having the cramps and a lot of back pain. I’m sure I’ve read before it’s just where everything is ‘stretching’ out ready to make room!

Honestly I cannot remember it with my daughter, otherwise I don’t think I’d be so anxious. I guess one good thing it’s not continuous and is on and off and when I pass gas that usually helps haha

Millenialmom96 · 04/07/2026 06:14

I'm hoping I can join this group. My period is 3 days late and I've had 3 positive tests with the lime getting slowly darker. With my first I didn't test until I was about 6/7 weeks pregnant so the line was always very dark. These first few days feel so tough

Wishedfor2021 · 04/07/2026 06:33

Congratulations @Millenialmom96! ❤️

In a similiar boat to you, I found out with my last pregnancy when I was over a week late so the first test I took was a very obvious positive! This time round, I tested positive on tuesday when AF was due and got a faint positive, I only got a clear BFP on Thursday but still no dye stealers to be seen 😅 I’m going to get a double pack of CB digital to take over the next 2 weeks I think!

Congrats on your BFP that's a great sign 🥰. I got a pack of 15 tests thinking they'd last ages and have already gone through about five in the last 3 days 😅. Have you had any symptoms I've had the weird metallic taste thing which I never got with my first and feels so odd!

I did the exact same with a pack of the cheap one step tests, onto my last one now 🤣 but it’s them that aren’t giving the best lines, it was clearblue ones that were instant BFP for me! I feel SO hungry all the time and really bloated and I’m also so tired! I remember the weird taste in the mouth with my others, it’s not pleasant 😅

SantiagoSister · 04/07/2026 07:34

Congratulations @Millenialmom96!

@Wishedfor2021 I have heard that the one step tests aren’t the best for seeing line progression, so try not to panic ❤️

Hello! Not been on for a day or so as my test yesterday was very light/didn't look like it was progressing so thought it was a chemical. However it's darker again this morning so hopefully back in the game. 🤞 Why do we test so early @Millenialmom96 😅 ps I've sent you a dm to join the WhatsApp group @Strawberrymilkshake2!
