Hey all!

Hi Kady 👋🏻 congrats on your pregnancy! I’m 30 and a first time mum after 3 losses, should be 6 weeks tomorrow so just a bit behind you! How is your daughter feeling, does she know about the pregnancy? My mum had my youngest brother when I was 16 and it’s been such a lovely age gap, I’ve always been like a second mum to him ☺️

Heey! congratulations to you too! I've just read your profile and see its a tough time for you! Sending you all the luck!! you got this! have you got any symptoms yet? Im doing quite well atm, very rarely nauseas, like once a day. and peeing loads, hungry, tired, cranky! haha and BLOATED!! i look 6 months pregnant already! MY daughter wasnt meant to know until the 12 week scan! just incase! but she guessed! haha, she text me the other day asking if i was pregnant, because 1) there was loads of pregnancy searches on youtube. and also i stopped drinking wine. haha. shes OK about it, a bit like - "ugh, i dont want it to be a boy" but shes warming to it and i think shes secretly excited! im glad to hear you got on well with that big age gap when you were her age!! im sure it'll be fine! I also have 2 almost step sons with my Fiance, he has an 11 and 15yo. they dont know yet though. have you told anyone yet? Im too impatient! ive told nearly everyone close to me! Whoops.

@Kady thank you 🫶🏻 wishing you all the best too! 🤞🏻 I’m doing ok so far, not many symptoms, haven’t had any nausea but have had sooo much bloating 🙃some cramps / twinges on and off in my tummy / lower back , a lot of tiredness and weeing more! It’s just me and my partner that know so far, I would love to tell people but I have so much anxiety after previous losses that we’re going to wait until we’ve had the NIPT and can rule out chromosome issues, family have been so supportive before and I’d tell them after a loss anyway but it’s more me trying to protect them from getting their hopes up again 🥺 I can’t wait to announce and it be more of a happy time this time, hopefully 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thank you lovely xx Oh the twinges are horrible aren’t they. I’m currently feeling lots of pulling in my lower tummy when I stretch or bend. So many new feelings to get used to. I totally understand your reasoning to wait a while to tell anybody. It must be really difficult! When you make it to that NIPT it will be the best feeling telling everyone I’m sure. Pregnancy anxiety is so horrible. And it sucks that there’s absolutely nothing you can do to help it. X
