**May Mummies**

I keep getting heart palpitations, I’m 6w5d, anyone else getting this or know if it’s normal?

Like I've had them a few times in the past few weeks, but that's normal for me anyway due to anxiety. Have you ever suffered with it before?xx

I've felt like my heart is racing quite a bit with headaches too but I've also fainted a couple of times, I'd say its anxiety and pregnancy. My doctor didnt seem to concerned..

Hello lovely ladies. Very nervously joining as got a BFP on Saturday at 10 DPO and due mid May. Currently only 16DPO. I did a one step strip test on Wednesday at 14DPO and another this morning but doesn’t appear to be much (if at all) darker. I’m worried that it should be much darker than 14DPO if hcg is doubling. Had miscarriages before so panicking a lot. Any positive stories/reassurance welcome. Haven’t got pics as left tests at home x

Welcome, I'm due 18th May. My one step tests are taking for ages to get darker. I wouldn't worry at all.
I got my 2-3weeks on my clearblue digi and I also took few first response and they got darker. Those one steps just take so long.

I’ve not suffered from them before but after googling it is quite normal, I’ve got my first midwife appointment on Wednesday though so I’ll mention it to her then.

I also get out of puff walking up a small hill! I don’t feel like myself at all! We’ve got dogs and I’ve always been a great walker and am used to running a couple miles a few times a week, it’s so strange how different I am.

Hi hun, I suffered 3 chemicals and I’m 6w6d today. I fully understand your nerves, I’m a bag full of anxiety right now. I wouldn’t use those one step strips as they are so rubbish. I would get a digi or frer. I stopped testing at 5 weeks though as drove me crazy x

Girls when did uz get symptoms? I literally have nothing. The tiny little bit of nausea I had is gone . I dont feel anything at all. I know we are all so diff but I'd like the reassurance off them that pregnancy is going ok.

I'm the same, my fitness level has gone way down. I usually swim a few miles after work 4 times a week, run 3 times a week, walk my two very active labs every day and go on hikes when we can sometimes like 18 miles a day, and also lift heavy weights 3 or 4 times a week and fir the past month, I just feel drained, anything is tiring me and getting out of breath where I wouldnt usually. My midwife also told me to stop running so I'm thinking maybe that's why I'm getting out of puff? Not sure. I just dont feel myself either. She also told me to limit excercise to 3 times per week which I'm finding difficult to mentally deal with. If I wasnt tired all the time I'd be having major anxiety over it because I find that my excercise really keeps my anxiety in check. Xx

Hey, I'm 7weeks1day and haven't had any symptoms except on and off sore nipples and constipation which are both normal pre AF things to me. So really had no symptoms what so ever. I keep feeling something is wrong as almost everyone has nausea and I've had nothing. Easy to stress over nothing though. I suppose everyone is different xx

I feel like I have everybody's morning sickness for them currently. With my pregnancy with my daughter i had nothing apart from sensitive nipples and reflux toward the end but this one is way different, my midwife keeps reminding me if theres no spotting, bleeding or pain to try not to worry (easier said than done of course)

I had a panic attack earlier over the fact that my babies will be developing heartbeats and I'm crapping myself about the what ifs.. I turned some music on and listened for what kind of instruments I could hear, found it semi helpful.

Hope everybody is going ok and not stressing too much, can't wait for 2020 for us all x

1 more sleep until my 7 week scan! I really feel like I need to just see our little shrimp in there to believe this is happening.

My nausea is rubbish too
@Countrylife, although I haven’t actually been sick, I just feel nauseous most of the time and keep sucking on ginger biscuits. Honestly don’t know how I’m going to hide this when I go back to work on Monday.

My husband is the same, so far he’s told our parents, our friends, people in shops... just about everyone he bumps into. There are a few people that I definitely don’t want to tell just yet, one being my sister who has just had a failed ivf cycle and I don’t want her to go through the emotional rollercoaster of finding out I’m pregnant unless I am absolutely sure it will stick. Im actually dreading telling her, I just feel so guilty, I know we didn’t have a straightforward journey to our pregnancy either but it’s still going to be very painful for her.

I feel for you there, I found out I was pregnant same time as my best friend who's been trying since her girl was born and shes just turned 3, we both got excited to have babies together and shes just had an ectopic pregnancy unfortunately with a tube removed it broke my heart. The hardest part was telling her im carrying x2. She briefly joked about giving her one of them and I knew she wasn't coping but shes been getting some help and shes happy for me now but has her moments and I really feel for her

She will probably struggle in the next year. I mind having to through all the 1st year milestones. Broke my heart due day arriving , other people having theirs babies around same time mine was due etc. Just a difficult time. Hopefully though she'll get her bfp again in time and have her little rainbow baby.

It’s so beautiful when you have such caring people around you who love you and try to support you even when it pains them.

Thread crashing to say I always got heart palpitations while pregnant- it’s totally a thing! Congratulations to all of you.

 

[SugaryIris]

We had sex for the first time last night since finding out I’m pregnant, it was awkward as hell and my progesterone made it very uncomfortable so I doubt we will rush too it again. I’m glad we did it though, it shows we are both in a better, more relaxed place. My heartbeat was crazy afterwards though, and we weren’t even particularly energetic or at it for very long.

7w today, hardly slept a wink as I’ve got my early scan this morning.

All the best for your scan @SugaryIris xx
