Hi ladies

I too just recently just found out i'm expecting (27th Feb) and my baby is due the 6th of November but seeing as i'm going for an elective c-sec baby will TECHNICALLY be born end of October LOL

I had AF like cramps too, especially on the day AF was meant to rear her ugly head. Thank goodness she didn't and I received a call from the nurse to say that my beta (hcg) levels were 193 on 14dpo. I went for another blood count after 72hrs and it had gone up to 835!!! WOW i was overjoyed and the doc even hinted at multiples. All we want is one healthy baby but 2 would be a double blessing!!

Anyone want to share their counts? After all the junk we all read on the net i was (am still a bit), concerned about eptopic/ blighted ovum. This is my first pregnancy...

What really concerned me though today and i'd love some advice! I hadn't been to the loo in a while (i used to be extremely regular!); i think this may be due to the preg vitamins i'm taking, which contain iron. Anyway i had a really hard painful big stool to pass and i pushed and pushed and it was so painful (TMI sorry!); now i'm so scared i hurt my baby!!!! Can anyone shed some light on this??

I'm even thinking of going for another count just to make sure everything is fine...

My symptoms include boob tenderness (but only on the sides), my boobs are very veiny (big blue veins), tiny little white pimples around the nips, had pain on the sides of my abdomen (due to stretching i'm hoping!), and a bit in the middle today (think it's that damn stool!), extremely tired and hungry and only slightly nauseous (so slight i think i'm imagining it!)

Please anyone with advice or something that can ease my worried mind would be soooooooooo welcome!

hi jogami

happy and healthy nine months to you doll

il be in for c section as well, whats the normal period before the babys due date to be took in?

Good afternoon girls, my EDD is 31st October, so just squeeze onto this thread!!

This is my first pregnancy, and still very early so keeping fingers crossed. don't think I will ring midwife until I am about 8 weeks, as I don't want to tempt fate!!! Will keep testing with hpt whenever I feel i need reassurance that I haven't made it all up!!!

Don't know if it is a craving or just me fixating onto something but i cannot get enough heinz tomato soup with grated chedder in and fresh thick granary bread!!!!

Hi all! I am due on the 26th October but being Diabetic I have been warned it is likely that with the baby getting rather big I will be induced early. I also miscarried last September at 12 weeks so very cautious this time round.
Feel sick but havent actually been sick, tired a lot, sore boobs but the main thing I get (and got last time) were painfull cramps/dull aches in my abdomen and lower back. Like a cross between really bad period pain and the feeling you get when you have diarrhea!! It happens a couple of times a day and passes after 10 minutes or so. Find a hot water bottle helps and the odd paracetamol. Obviously I am so worried about these but every medical person says its normal!! Anyone else get this?
I have an early scan on th 15th (I will be 8 weeks). As it appeared my bean died last year at 7 weeks 4 days I am hoping it will be very reassuring!!

Hello

I'm approx 6weeks 5 days and so far my bbs are painful, particularly under my arms. I've been living and sleeping in non-wired, non-sexy bras since I got my .

I'm tired and occasionally feel a bit odd. Not so much sick but just not quite right and I seem to feel worse between 11-12 and 4-5pm. Initially I had some pink cm but that stopped about 2 weeks ago.

I'm bloated and my blood sugar level really drops when I'm hungry, I start shaking which I've never had before and it takes a while to recover even after I've eaten.

I have a private scan booked for 12th March (8weeks). My GP told me to make an appointment with the midwife between 8-10 weeks so I'll phone up next week to make that.

I used to think the 2ww was a long time but the wait to get scans and to the all important 12th week feels like forever.

Wishing you all happy healthy pregnancies. xx

my clothes feel tight i think its bloating i dont know

i want to lose weight this first trimester as im big enough as it is, and doc said it would be fine, but i feel hungry

hey girls i'm due 25th october
i had a mmc in december, so obviously very worried.
had a minor bleed last week, but being optimistic anyway.
i dont have any symptoms as of yet, although today my boobs are more veiny!
i also get cramps and twinges which scare me so much!
waiting on my 8 week scan!
xxxx

Hi everybody!

I'm due October 31. DH b-day is Oct 29 so it will be interesting to see if the baby comes then. This is our second (DS is 3), DH's 5th, yes 5th baby. His other children are older though. Right now I have the most trouble at work. I'm at a computer all day (10hr shift) so I get really achy and uncomfortable and my pants are already too tight Oh well! I'm really looking forward to this baby. I hope it's a girl , team pink all the way, lol!

Hi- Thanks for starting this thread. I've been looking around to see what others who are due around the same time as me are experiencing.
I'm due on the 27th. This is my first pregnancy, and I got here through IVF. I'm 39, so that was the reason we had to go to IVF after trying for a year and half.

My beta was 252 on 15dpo and then 1316 on 19dpo, so it seems a little high- could be twins in there! I'll find out next week at my first scan. It's on wednesday which will be exactly 7 weeks. DH and I are dying to find out.

I've definitely started having some symptoms this week. Mild nausea at different times throughout the day, but mostly when I'm hungry, I'm tired and falling asleep at 9:30 lots of nights, headaches (I feel like I'm coming down with the flu or have a really bad hangover), and sore sore boobs. But the symptoms seem to come and go- yesterday i felt hungry all day but no nausea. Very mysterious this whole process....

seems theres a few 31sts on here,

i now doubt will be having my baby early but thats the edd so il go by that for the moment

i am so excited mum said today shel buy my pram yippy xxx
