Found out recently I’m pregnant with baby number 3 😍. I’ve worked out my due date as early May 2027. Anyone else? It would be nice to have a support thread going. They’ll be quite a big gap between my two kids and baby, I feel like I’ve forgotten everything 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Heartofhopeno I'm not 100% sure because we were away in Florida when we must have conceived.

I think I'm going to try and just completely ignore the fact I'm pregnant as long as I can. Which is probably going to be about an hour knowing me haha!

Just squeezing in to join with a due date of 29th May 🤗 3w5d based on ovulation, with my second baby.

MummaAgain2026 · 17/09/2026 14:57

Welcome to everyone has recently joined and thank you all for the advice regarding the booking in appointment. Sounds like it varies in length so I’ll bring along some snacks just in case lol.

Has anyone told anyone yet? I’ve told some friends and family, it’s getting harder though, just want to scream it from the rooftops. But it feels sensible to wait until I’ve had my scan.

@MummaAgain2026its only me, my finance and my best friend who know. (He doesn’t even know I’ve told my best friend either!!! 🤫) we had a miscarriage in December so really nervous to tell people before 12 weeks, we told everyone close at 6 weeks and had the bad news shortly after.

I think we might last 10 weeks before the word gets out… it’s so exciting isn’t it!

FolkSongSweet · 17/09/2026 19:58

I haven’t even told DH yet! We were not ttc and if we were I would have been taking meds pre-conception, so it’s a long shot whether it will work out, coupled with my age (39) anyway. I’m going to wait until I’ve at least had the 6 week scan I think. I hadn’t realised until I found out how much I actually do want to have another baby. Odds are stacked against me but I’m still hoping.

Not told anyone but the bloat is real so I feel I look pregnant by the school pick up 🤪 I’ve switched to baggy jumpers which I rarely wear so feel people are going to clock on soon! We have family over when we’re just shy of 11 weeks so going to tell them then plus our kids beforehand 😊 AND then the whole school will know so 😂

BelleSprout · 17/09/2026 20:20

I’ve only told my OH and my daughters due date group 😂 I’m anxious to tell anyone else early on because of our early losses, but I think we’ll probably tell parents around 6 weeks, mainly because we might need childcare help for appointments and things and I feel like if I did lose the pregnancy after 6 weeks I’d want their support, if that makes sense.

I’m not sure how I’m going to hide it though, I’m a fitness instructor and already struggling to teach 😅 last time I had terrible nausea too and it was just a rough time, everyone guessed so early!

FlyingHighFlyingLow · 17/09/2026 21:07

Nausea is real here. Yesterday all I managed to eat was half a slice of toast, half a sandwich and a handful of chips.

After spending this morning taking 30 mins of tiny bites of a cereal bar while simultaneously being wrestled by my toddler and trying desperately not to gag I rang the GP and have some anti-nausea meds to try 😅.

Omg this is me at the moment. Not even told my DH yet.

I am 4W 4D according to LMP but due to BBT and OPKS I ovulated 2 weeks ago exactly. So it has put me at 3W 6D! So very early still. I am 14DPO today. And I just missed my period. But got my VVFL at 8dpo.

I have decided to avoid getting a booking apt ubtip Inpass 6 weeks. I will then xall the community Midwives.

@MummaAgain2026 i am being reserved as I had 4 miscarriages. 3 chemicals before aaG and one at 5/6 weeks. Not even told DH. But will this weekend as AF was due latest today and no show so far and tests are strong.
Family I will tell if I get to the 12W stage. Friends at the same time.... I have 2 kids that were concieved fine and told family and friends at 5 weeks now I am wary.

FolkSongSweet · 18/09/2026 09:03

For those with nausea/sickness, when did it kick in? I’m pretty sure mine started at 6 weeks in previous pregnancies. I’m 5+3 today and nothing yet but starting to worry a bit!

TTCno1in23 · 18/09/2026 09:54

Hey girls, I went for an early scan yesterday at 7+5. I went with an empty bladder as I assumed it would be vaginal but she did it on my tummy! Said she struggle a little to see certain bits because I didn’t have a full bladder - just thought I’d let you know if anyone else is having one to go with a full bladder just in case!!

lipgoss · 18/09/2026 10:47

@MixedBananas we are exactly the same, 3w6d on ovulation! Big fingers crossed all stays well

it started at about 6 weeks with my last one but has started a few days earlier this time, at around 5+3.

Plumchumm · 18/09/2026 18:06

Had betas done at 5 weeks, was 755.

second was 1252.

bit worried as it isn’t a double but the timings of the bloods were not exact. It was 3pm for my first and 11am second. Hoping things are okay

they bringing me in for a third, this time exactly 48 hours after

Ataneli · 18/09/2026 21:50

Is anyone else already getting restless legs on a night? I swear I didn't get this until I was about 32 weeks with my first but here I am at 5 or 6 weeks already unable to sleep😩

Heartofhope · 18/09/2026 22:27

@Ataneli not the restless legs (yet) but waking up super early 4/5am wide awake 👀 apparently a weighted blanket over the bottom of your legs on the bed can help?!

jg09x · 19/09/2026 06:13

Finally got my 3+ on a digital this morning 🙌🏻 😁 I believe I’m 5w+1 ☺️

Silverglass · 19/09/2026 07:56

Anyone else bloating really hard? If I stick my stomach out I already look about five months pregnant 🙄 think my ibs is flaring up too which really isn’t helping. Glad we’re moving into autumn and baggy jumper territory!

Heartofhope · 19/09/2026 08:40

Aw congrats @jg09x it feels like such a relief seeing it doesn’t it 🤞🏼

@Silverglass omg yes!! I feel like I’ve gained so much weight already as my stomach feels like a balloon. Feel like I’m being dramatic but I can’t wear anything tight round my tummy I’m constantly thinking of comfort! Yet need to be in a bikini on a hen do in 5 days time 🙈🙈

jg09x · 19/09/2026 08:41

It really is @Heartofhope

laesosalt · 19/09/2026 14:15

@Silverglass Yep! Can’t wear jeans already 😅

WildFinch · 19/09/2026 18:50

Tentatively joining! Hi everyone. I got a positive test today, due 25 May. My first is 7 months old. Had a MMC and MC before her, so guarding my heart a little. Also we'll have 2 under 2, worried we're crazy!

Me too! I am annoyed I never took notes in my last 2 pregnancies. As i am 4W and my symptoms have faded. I have feeling my symptoms. started around 5 weeks before but I am worried too.

Yes thats the only major symptom for me right now amd mad fatigue. Got my Maternity leggings out already 😂

BelleSprout · 19/09/2026 21:09

I feel like my symptoms also started around 6 weeks with my daughter, especially the nausea. I was having some nausea on and off and aching/cramping but that’s eased a bit now. I’m hoping it’s all normal! I’ll be 5 weeks tomorrow
