*** September 2018 Mums ***

[Elven]

Got my BFP this morning!!!! Eeeeeek. What do I do next in regards to doctors etc?! My head is so fuzzy right now. Zx

Congratulations and welcome!

 

[Elven]

I literally can't wait to get a bump! My mam told me I used to push my tummy out when I was little and pretend there was a baby in there...I can't wait to be a Mammy myself! Kind of want these next few weeks to fly over so I know everything is ok and hopefully feel a little less anxious.

I've been getting a few cramps and a dull ache in my stomach and still feeling quite gassy (more like swishing about and funny noises than actually pumping!) xxx

Aww, it is quite exciting, isn't it? Although I still feel a bit like it's an alien taking over my body, if that makes sense? It's a bit surreal.

If you are anything like me, the cramps may start now and still continue 3.5 weeks later. But it seems to be completely normal, even though it makes you feel like AF is starting any moment now so no panic. xx

 

[Elven]

Also, with the expanding chest... Mine started to increase from about 5.5 weeks and is just not stopping. Not that the husband minds this part, but if people don't figure out I'm pregnant just by my growing chest before I get to the 2nd trimester, that will be a bit of a miracle!

Ha. I'm the same elven. I'm convinced I look huge. At least at this time of year we can cover up much more than in summer.

Only scan I can find is £89!

[MelC2011]

Thanks holli!

CC...im feeling more relaxed having got my 3+ on digi this morning. No more symptoms yet! Got my 6 week scan on monday evening so that will be hopefully reassuring. How are you? X

 

[lalaroo]

Much darker line this morning on an Asda own hpt
OH has just left and won’t be back until tomorrow night. My mum is watching my daughter today whilst I go to work, we agreed to not tell people until the first scan so I have to resist temptation when I see my mum today!

Welcome lalaroo! I got my BFP yesterday! I'm still on cloud nine and LA LA land lol. How you gonna concentrate at work?! My due date calculators on the apps say I'm 5 weeks today but feel confused until it's confirmed by midwife, are you all just going along with the apps? Xx

 

[KateTully90]

I'm 4+4 today, handed my form in at the midwifes yesterday and she literally just called! Got my booking in appointment made for 12th Feb, the day after I get back from my skiing holiday so hopefully it will put my mind at ease a little! No major symptoms except slight cramping (more of a dull ache) and very bloated, especially in the afternoon! Very tempted to book in for an early scan but I think unless I'm given a reason to worry, I'm just going to let my body do what it needs to do and hopefully everything is ok Congrats to everyone who has just found out! xxx

It’s going to be hard not to tell people in work but they will probably figure out as I’ll have a big smile on my face all day!
I’m going off what my period tracking app says, I’m only 3+6 A’s my cycle is 30 days. I’ve downloaded a pregnancy app that I used with my last pregnancy. It’s called Ovia and I found it very useful. Going to ring and book an appointment with my midwife later hopefully

That’s awesome hun bet you’re chuffed!! ahh I’m very jel that you get an early scan - hope it goes well!
I’m ok thanks, feeling sick more often and have some spots which I never get so that’s lovely haha! I have my first midwife app tomorrow whoop! X

 

[lalaroo]

Just rang my doctors surgery and the earliest appointment to see the midwife is the 15th of February! When I was pregnant with my DD, I rang the day after my BFP on a Thursday and got an appointment for the following Tuesday. Must be a lot of ladies in my area that are expecting...Christmas and New Years was busy time for making babies I guess haha

Yay Melly41! that's awesome feels like a relief, doesn't it!


Congrats to all the pregnant ladies that have joined since my last visit. Hope all goes well for everyone!

I have an early scan on Tuesday next week, should be 6+5 then. really hoping for good news, that there's actually a bean in there. Still find it hard to believe.

Belly is getting a little more bloated but still perfectly able to fit my jeans. I remember when I was pregnant with my son it started to get uncomfortable with 8 weeks already; button all pressed into my belly. Wonder when this time I'd need to get my maternity jeans from the attic!

Thanks CC. Decided to go private as only £39. Could get nhs one as had mmc and she said they would scan but id have to wait for hours to be seen and i feel a bit of a fraud with no bleeding etc its only for my own reassurance.

Exciting youve got midwife tomorrow. Makes it feel real x

No not yet but get bloated in evenings. Started to have a more of a belly (no one else could tell) around 10 weeks last time so reckon it will be around then. How are you feeling?
