Hi everyone, this is my first time posting on OhBaby.

I am due on 7 June, currently 5 weeks 2 days. This is my first. We found out last Thursday which was CD29. I took another test on Saturday to confirm it before we told my hubby's parents, and the line was lighter - but I'm putting that down to having less than six hour's sleep when I tested. That afternoon I felt so queasy I knew it was still happening!

I went to see the doctor on Wednesday. She didn't do any tests to confirm it, but sent me off for routine blood tests. I still don't quite believe it's all happening and I wish there was some way to know that everything is developing normally. The doctor said not to wait to look for a midwife as they book up quickly. She also said the fact that I'm already feeling sick is a good sign.

Symptoms so far:
- tender nips, sore bbs sometimes (I never get that)
- Strange sensations in the uterus area - not quite pain, hard to explain
- queasiness, particularly in the late afternoon. Haven't thrown up yet but apparently it gets worse after 6 weeks.
- Sensitivity to smells. I usually love eating white fish but when I had terakihi on my plate the other night the smell of it was awful!
- Back ache every now and then
- Lightheadedness

Last night I woke up very uncomfortable with a huge feeling of pressure in the uterus area. It felt like it does when you hold on for ages (if you know what I mean) but when I went to the toilet it didn't get any better. Then I had some backache and felt crampy like I do when I have my period. That got me quite worried. But I googled it today and other people have experienced it - apparently it's the uterus expanding to accommodate your growing baby. So a good sign! Anyone else feeling that?

Sorry for the long post! Hope everyone has a happy, smooth nine months!

I am not sure if I'm imagining my symptoms or not haha. But I'm only 5 weeks and apparently the height of hcg is 10-12 weeks so it builds up to thenow.

Anyone wanting to join the fb group, you can also post your email here and I can add you by email.

I can relate. I am sure I can see a small bump already, and I have also had weird cramping feelings down there, like a growth spurt, and I can't do up my jeans! I also have sore breasts. I didn't show for ages last time but apparently the second time around it is a lot quicker. Plus my husband is large. So baby could be too. I am only 6 weeks on Monday so this is happening very quickly.

I might add it has been 12 years since my last one...so my memory is more than a little rusty and I feel like a first timer. Except that I am already looking for a bit of hired help when bubs comes (because I do remember the exhaustion) and it all seems very expensive.....

Also, anyone worried about the odd twinge...the internet is not your friend. I managed to worry myself sick the other night after reading a study which showed drinking tea causes spina bifida by blocking folic acid. I had drunk loads of tea the month I conceived. Then, the next study found tea improved fertility. You can't win! Also last time I had morning sickness from week 3 and this time none. Apparently a sign of miscarriage according to one site. At that point I decided to stop googling.

Argh! I've become addicted to tea! Lol, and here I was thinking I was good giving up coffee.
I am way more paranoid this time around. I was on anti nausea meds by 6 weeks with my girls, but still not thrown up yet (almost five weeks). This is def our last one (ivf Bubbas) so I really hope it sticks ☺

I can relate. I thought I would be way less paranoid this time round, but no.... worrier by nature....best thing is distraction. I hope we can all let go a bit.

I think I've lost it...blood, quite a bit of it. I am OK. This is my first miscarriage. Can someone please give me some advice on how to confirm it? Blood test? I don't want to ruin anyone else's fun....but advice appreciated.

Hi Lizzie. Are you feeling ok? Any pain? Did you see my tissuebthat may have been a baby? When I miscarried at 10 weeks I could see the baby in the tissue. And I felt instant relief from the pain. I had no follow up bloods or scans but I should have to make sure everything was gone. Is there someone with you?

Hi lizzieg I had a loss at 6 weeks so about the same time as you maybe? I had cramping but not that severe, and the bleeding didn't let up it was just like a normal period but with clotting. I went for a blood test to confirm the numbers were going down. However I had some bright red blood on Tuesday night but it didn't continue, and that's meant to be ok. So if it's ongoing blood + cramps then head to Dr on Monday for a follow up blood test perhaps. Hope you're ok x

Hi, yes cramping and the bleeding has continued into being like a heavey period, the cramping is mild but the bleeding is heavy. Plus my sore boobs have become normal. It's definitely a miscarriage. I had family coming over today so I told them and we had a day together and it sort of made me feel better. Though I feel pretty weird. I am heading off to the doctor tomorrow or I have the referral for the 7 week scan so I might use that and get a proper scanm, though I am sure this is a complete miscarriage. Thanks for your support.

I was nearly 6 weeks so no I couldn't see the baby...Bonnie that would have been awful at 10 weeks. I am 42 so I imagine there must have been something wrong with bubs for this to happen.
