Ewahstank wrote: » Thank you!! We are so happy and excited but obviously I'm nervous about making it to 12 weeks but trying to stay relaxed and positive! My partner tells me he knew the week before I tested that I was pregnant because I was complaining of a weird feeling in my pelvis which I had thought was PMS but he didn't say anything in case I wasn't and would get upset! But that was the only one that stood out apart from sore boobs which I get before nearly every period. Since testing last week I've been exhausted and still have the weird feeling in my lower tummy/pelvis it's more so uncomfortable than pain ... Also bloating really bad the last few weeks! We have booked in with my GP for an early scan on the 11th of July so hoping that will put my mind at ease and then have the first hospital scan at 12 weeks on the 29th of July! Have any of you told many people yet? I'm dying to tell my best friend as she's one of the only people who knew the struggles we were going through the last few years.

I've had a few symptoms alright - the first being implantation bleeding. I freaked out but then found out it's actually not as uncommon as I thought. Have had a weird metallic taste in my mouth for the past 2 weeks and definitely feeling the bloat and sore boobs! I'll prob regret saying this but I'm happy for the symptoms to continue as I guess it means the pregnancy is progressing well?! You're so on top of things with your appointments booked. I called my doctor but was told to call back when I'm 6 weeks to make an appointment. I did send off an application to the hospital we want to go to but have yet to hear back from them re dates etc. We have told both our immediate families. We figured they'd be the people we would turn to if anything bad happens and I have to say I am so relieved to be able to speak to my Mam about it. I have not told any friends at all yet - probably wait until the 12 weeks or at least until we have an early scan done. It's great having this forum to check in with each other

I had booked in to change to a new gp the same day I got my positive test so it was just great timing and tbh I wanted it confirmed by someone that wasn't me asap ... Lol ... I just can't wait to tell everyone! I got news today that a relative is pregnant and due at Christmas and it was so nice to be excited for them and not really upset and jealous and that I'll have someone close pregnant at the same time as me too!!! Today I've felt relatively normal bar the swollen boobs and super tired!! Can't wait for the next few weeks to pass quickly so i Can hopefully hear a strong heart beat and see a lil bean in the scan ❤️
BrosnanL27 wrote: » That's so lovely you'll have someone close to you pregnant too! I can imagine how gut wrenching it must be to hear of pregnancies when you've been TTC for so long but now your time is here Aw stop, we just cannot wait for the 12 week mark. We have booked in for an early scan on July 11th (I think I'll be 8 weeks exactly on that day) - just realised your early scan is that day too! I actually got my hospital appointments in the post yesterday too. 12 week scan is 7th August! I've found my sleep hasn't been great the past while - definitely to do with nerves I think.

Oh and the constant hunger ... I didn't think 7 weeks would be this tough.... But still feeling positive that they're all good signs.
