Oh god I think I'm pregnant. Months of wanting too but had settle I'm best not, feeling very stupid. Two boys already, one with special needs. Had post natal after last one. What am I going to do.

Hello all,

It's very early days but I got a positive pregnancy test this week. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks in September this year and last year I had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks. I feel nervous and anxious but I'm happy too. Fingers crossed it's third time lucky for us.

Best of luck to everyone, hope everything goes well for us all.

Scan booked for Feb, how's everyone?

My scan is booked for January 10, I'm having an early scan because of my history.

Apart from feeling a bit tired I don't really have any symptoms. Trying to avoid alcohol at the work Christmas party last night was a pain!

Hope everyone is doing okay.

Ah good you're having early scan, I normal pay private for one, morning sickness is not my friend from 6 weeks on 😬. I like to have scan before telling people.
Going to try acupuncture this time, never had it before, anyone tried it before?

Not drinking over Xmas is going to be some craic but it could be worst

Hello,

First pregnancy. Doctor confirmed due date 4th August so nearly 7weeks. Have morning sickness, mild cramping and sore boobs. When did any of you hear from the hospital about your first appointment?

Hello, congratulations and welcome

Is your doctor making your appointment for you? I've always made my appointments myself by phone and got a letter the next day confirming it.

Hi All,
I hope everyone is well?
I reckon I am due the end of August all going well.
I have my first appointment on 10th January with my consultant will know more then.
I have had nausea/vomiting since last Friday
Roll on Friday for my Christmas Holidays.

I have my first appointment January 10th too, I'm having a scan at 8 weeks and it can't come soon enough for me! I'm very worried but trying not to dwell too much on it. When is your due date? Mine is August 20th.

Sorry to hear about the nausea, hopefully it will pass quick enough. I've heard ginger biscuits can help. Apart from fatigue I don't have any symptoms yet.

Ah I hope the sickness isn't too bad. I'm starting feel it kicking in. Hope to try acupuncture but can't get appointment until new year.

And congrats again

I am going to buy those sickness wrist bands. I used them last time

I tired them the last two times, didn't get much relief.
Just back from GP, she prescribed Cariban, never taken meds before for it. Nervous to take them but I'll read up first and maybe only take when really need to. Off on holidays now so I may be ok at home but waking up wanting to vomit is causing me to be tired = increase nausea.

Taking the signs as positive all going well

Ladies anyone have tips for sore boobs? Mine are killing me, they were no where near this bad on my last pregnancy... I'm not normally a whinger but I can barely touch them today they're so sensitive.

Hi Ladies!

We finally got our BFP this week & according to various apps I am either 31/08 or 04/09 - depending on whether I use date of (likely) conception or date of last period. I have a short cycle so not sure which one to use.
So excited after a year of trying but also terrified in case something goes wrong. Had to tell immediate family as they would guess today & tomorrow when I'm not drinking at Christmas!

Ah Congrats that is wonderful news. I am in a similar situation re dates....I am just going to see what my consultant says! I have my first appointment at 7 weeks but I could be 8 weeks! I would prefer and external scan so picked the later date!!!

History queen do you have any of those (awful) soft nursing bras...the ones that look like a sports top/bra? I used to wear them 24/7!

Vomiting has eased but now more nauseous non stop. Finished work for Xmas so taking it super easy. It’s when I have to get up and do things I start vomiting.
Tiredness like I have never experienced.

Sorry to hear you've been so poorly, hope you get a chance to relax now over the holidays. Thankfully so far I've felt fine but it's early days so it could be still to come!

Will leave it until after Christmas to book into the GP - in the meantime, just planning to eat super healthily & take it easy too!

Hi Guys

Finally got our first ever BFP two weeks ago after 2 years of trying!! Delighted and nervous I think my due date will be 20th August, few symptoms but no morning sickness yet

Thanks for that Millem... I do have some of those packed away since my last pregnancy...think I'd blocked them from my mind! Will dig them out and try them. Sorry to hear ur still feeling unwell, hopefully it'll ease soon.

Merry Christmas everyone!
