[Southernsoftie]

Hi guys! I’m new to the forum 😊 just got my BFP this morning and I can’t believe it! According to my ovulation date I am due on the 31 December! I’m so excited! This is my first pregnancy and it was our first month TTC so it’s still sinking in!

Seems like everyone is feeling sick 😬 so I’ve got that to look forward to in the next couple of weeks! I’ve just been having terrible acid reflux so far, and sore boobs ofc!

Absolute pleasure to meet you all and can’t wait to get to know you better 💕 xx

Hi ladies welcome to you both! How exciting to have some more babies for December!

I feel so ill today I've resorted to Munching on crackers at work, it keeps the sick at bay.
It's kind of waves of nausea so I'll wake up feel ill, eat something, feel better, then an hour later feel ill again. Ergh! However my midwife called me and has brought my booking appointment forward a week which I'm pleased about! 😀

Yes I think they will scan your tummy as ur near 8 weeks so I would go with a full bladder. So exciting can't wait to see the first scan

Well ladies looks like I’ll be joining you. By LMP I’m due December 26 but I’m certain I ovulated later (cycles still wonky from nursing my youngest) so please put me down for December 30th

Happiest and healthiest 9 months to us all

Afternoon ladies.
Thought I'd share a few things that are worrying me and I think this the main reason I can't admit to myself that this pregnancy is happening. I have one son and he's just turned two.
I'm absolutely prettified of giving birth again! Is anyone else on baby number two and feel this? Even though I had text boom preg and labour his actual entrance was traumatic and he ended up in special care for 2 weeks.

Oh lord, I won't give details here to scare the newbies but I had nightmares for a week after with my DD. Happy to chat by PM if you want someone to vent with!

Oh I’m so sorry you had a tough start with your son 😔 this is my first pregnancy so I can’t compare, but my anxiety is really high the last few days - I think the surging hormones make it worse! I would defo talk to the GP and midwife sooner than later to talk through your worries though. I see a counsellor every week so I can talk through all of my anxieties, it’s really helpful to speak to someone impartial for me. Sending hugs xx

This is baby 4 for me and even though all of my labors and births have been smooth, I am also terrified, especially of the pushing part. But listen, if I could have my second baby’s birth every time I’d be so reassured. Second babies are almost always so much easier. I am so sorry for what you went through.

Got a nice pink line on a frer today. I am shaking, my heart is racing, I’m just amazed.

 

[Rach beattie]

Congratulations kholl!

 

[AllyBally]

Got my 3+ on a digi today! Can finally forget about testing now. Can't wait for 8 week scan in 3 weeks!

I've spent the evening just feeling really worried about the probability of a mmc. They seem so common and the possibility just makes me want to cry.

I don't know how to relax and just let go....

Mmc are very rare only 5% chance if u r under 35 and have had no bleeding. Try not to worry I no that's easier said than done having had one myself but they r so so rare

WolfMamma, I wish I had words of wisdom for you, but the bottom line is there is no escaping the fear. Motherhood is wrought with it. Even perhaps defined by it. For me, it feels like worrying about every possible thing that could go wrong somehow safeguards against that thing happening. Or at least, sets me up so I won't look like a fool when something goes wrong. It's a cheap trick of your mind. It's magical thinking. Ultimately, the only way to be grateful - to be truly grateful and humble for the gift of a pregnancy and the opportunity to create a new life - is to just be that: grateful. Otherwise, it's what I call "shitting on the gift".

It is impossible not to worry, I really believe that. I am here on pregnancy 4 and feeling that old familiar panic creeping in. It really is awful. But it's not real. It doesn't make you any wiser or more prepared. It doesn't help anything. It takes away the gratitude for life that is, really, all we actually have.

I am horribly crampy and out of breath. And, of course, scared. The first trimester is such an intense, worrying time and of course you feel so unwell for the most part, too...

My toddler is asking to nurse so I've got to go - sending everyone so much love!
