EDD July 2014...anyone else?

[lmbhj]

Super early in pregnancy. I am pregnant after a miscarriage.
First child. I'm about 4 weeks.
Feeling some trepidation (as to be expected). But would love to have some people in the same boat to chat with. Bounce symptoms off each other. Share experiences.

How are you feeling this early in your pregnancy? Symptoms? How did you tell your husband or significant other?

Hello,

Im due at the beginning of July. As u can see from another thread in here, I was previously due in October 2013 but loss the baby and just got my bfp now instead. I haven't got any other children. Like u, im nervous too. I'm hoping this is a healthy baby as my last one had a major chromosome disorder which is not compatible with life. It was devastating as we have been ttc for almost 3 years now. I conceived both times on 50mg of clomid.

I don't have many symptoms. I'm very tired and my boobs are starting to get sore. How do u feel?

I told my husband at 5am when I took the test in the night lol. I was trying to wait til morning to test but really needed a wee lol.
We are both v.happy but don't want to get our hopes up too high. I'm staying positive though.

How did u tell your dh?

I also miscarried at 6 weeks May 1st, 2013. It was terrible. The pregnancy was not expected, but we embraced it and had begun getting excited. Then it was gone.
This was our first month TTC and our honeymoon. (we were very busy!)

I saw a BFP when i re-checked a test on Saturday. I screamed his name and yelled "COME HERE!" I was at my parents house. I promptly got dressed and ran out to get a digital. I forced myself to wait till Sunday FMU to test cause i was worried my urine would be diluted and would be disappointed if i tested Saturday evening.
So Sunday at 5am, he heard me getting up and said "Don't forget to take your test" I had to go so badly. It came back "pregnant". I was very excited. Since i was AT my parents house i felt i needed to share with them. And as i went upstairs, both of my brothers happened to be there, soooo i had to tell the whole family. Though i explained its very early and wanted to keep it hushed till Christmas time.
We took my 4 weeks preggo belly pic last night.

As if we both tested at 5am sunday morning! Lol.

Have u rang docs yet? X

 

[lmbhj]

No. I haven't. I will go next week to make my appointment. Probably wont be till late November or early December. The only person, other than my immediate family, i have spoken to is an OBGYN nurse i work with (i'm a nurse a well), and all i said to her was "is there anything differently that needs to be done in a pregnancy after a miscarriage?" She grinned ear to ear and gave me a hug. I'm keeping this quiet till after Christmas. Hoping i don't show till then.
Luckily i wear scrubs and i have tons of baggy ones. I'm already layering up because its cold and i feel bloated.
Deff feeling the pressure and tugging on one side today. (the left side) Which is where i had some cramping the day before my BFP.

What about you? Have you called the doctor? Cramping? Other symptoms? Cravings?
I have been craving pickled anything....pickles, pickled peppers, pickled jalapenos....I bought a big jar of pickled veggies and pickled hot peppers this past weekend.

I will ring the midwife next week to make an appointment.

We aren't planning on telling anyone until we know its healthy.

I've had some mild cramps and twinges on my right side. My left tube is blocked so I know I must of conceived by an egg down my right tube. I got a small cyst last time which showed on my scan but they said its nothing to worry about when its small.

I don't have any cravings but I am more hungry!

Hey ladies!
I lost my little on 1st of july, 2 days after our anniversary. I have fallen pregnant for the second time with no periods. From an eary scan I think a am 4/5 weeks. Got another scan on Tuesday.

I thought I would be worried and scared. But I am happy and enjoying. Living in the here and now.

Feel sick alot of the time. Was sick a few times including being in the car. I love it as I know my care bear is causing it. I love it when my boobs get sore. Can't manage full feds so eating small and more often.

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Hi,

Sorry about your loss, its very hard. Im glad u are feeling positive.

[bubblz82]

Very hard. I know my first one is helping me kept this wee one healthy. How are you finding things?

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Im ok thanks. With my loss I didn't have many symptoms with was a sign it was unhealthy as my hormones were so low and therefore not making me feel anything. Im worrying because I don't have symptoms again and hoping its not going down the same path xxx

 

[bubblz82]

My wee one didn't grow in the sac. Had a mmc at 10 weeks. Just remember each pregnancy is different. If you are worried go and get it checked. I have been for an early scan but no baby. Still really early so had to wait two weeks. Signs all good so hope Tuesday will be good. Still unsure if I am due June or July

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Thanks hun.

Good luck for Tuesday.
I can't check my baby til it's 12 weeks. Just gotts keep my FX til then

Hi all My ds has been telling me since Sunday that he's getting 2 new babies for Christmas this year. He said they were in my kangaroo pouch lol. Well when af didn't show up I tested and sure enough it was positive. We didn't plan to try for #3 until next June. That's what we get for planning lol. I've been losing weight since June 1st and have lost 54 lbs. I wanted to have all of it off by the time we ttc. Oh well, this gets to be my first healthy eating/exercising pregnancy that I wish I would have had with my others. Yesterday was a bit hectic since I was so shocked. Today has been great and I'm truly happy for blessings in disguise. Dh is over the moon. When I sent him the pic since he was at work with a "Happy Anniversary Baby!" msg he replied, "I don't believe you. You play too much and it's not funny." He thought I was joking since I was the one so against trying just yet. I ovulated on our anniversary (oct 17) and we used protection. Hadn't had sex for 8 days before that with protection as well. I guess we had a hole somewhere. This baby was just meant to be Hope everyone else is feeling great and I'm happy to get to know all of you!

Im ok thanks. With my loss I didn't have many symptoms with was a sign it was unhealthy as my hormones were so low and therefore not making me feel anything. Im worrying because I don't have symptoms again and hoping its not going down the same path xxx

Don't worry too much over symptoms or lack there of. With my son I never had the first symptom other than my belly growing until around 20 weeks. Then heartburn set in. With my daughter, I was sick as a dog from 5 weeks on. And both of my miscarriages varied none with the first, sick with the second. I think it's more of a boy/girl thing for me

Hi guys, I would like to join in here, as I'm about 4 weeks and my EDD is July 22 (according to the date of my last period).
I'm really trying not to think about it because my partner and I weren't actually trying (we live in different cities) and this is my first time, but I already know I'll be so disappointed if I have an mc or if the scan reveals something wrong...which is why I stopped taking pee tests once the doctor's one confirmed the pregnancy and have promised myself I won't get a scan until 8 weeks so I don't become obsessive...but it's so hard not to obsess!! I wish I can just fast-forward time!! I've never been good at waiting patiently

Last weekend I felt so ill (caught a cold/flu) so I thought I was already having morning sickness but the cold is gone and I feel fine, except really tired but I can't tell if that's because I've been busy or because of the hormones. Does anyone else feel something or is 4 weeks too early? My boobs kind of feel tender but nothing to write home about. Is this normal at my stage? Thanks!
