Getting Ready For Baby Challenge Thread 5

Good luck mummy and tessa

That's great news seven well done Mr7!

Confused sorry you are feeling in limbo, time passes so slowly when you are waiting for something, doesn't it. I remember when I was pregnant with DD I had crazy vivid dreams the whole way through. Hope yours weren't too upsetting

MrsC happy st Patrick! Enjoy the long weekend! 🍀
I'm a hot yoga fanatic, I spoke to my GP about the heat in pregnancy thing and he didn't even know about it! He says it's probably fine given I do it already (and it's not as hot as a sauna) as long as I don't feel faint or dizzy, I think I'll take it easy in the 1st tri and maybe alternate with some cool classes, but I'm not going to stop completely (assuming I feel ok).

Good luck testers!!!

seven huge congratulations to your DH, that's such wonderful news! I'm so happy for you both. Such a positive step forward after what sounds like a rough time. I know the idea of him being away is really hard, will it be a regular thing or just occasionally? DH and I had same thing a long time ago.. you do adjust honestly but I know easy for me to say that.

confused don't panic, I think lots of people report a sudden drop in symptoms so don't think it's really unusual. Can't believe how long it feels waiting for scans (and I'm only 4 weeks!) One option would be to pay for one yourself privately for reassurance.. not sure if that's advised or not. What do others think?

Hb waiting to test until AF due sounds sensible. Roll on next week! Have everything crossed for you :)

Just popping in to say good luck testers!!

Seven I am so happy for your DH its so demoralising being at home all day... maybe for FW you will have to see him or he could pop home of an evening?

Im holding up ok thanks Jupiter had a few recurring very graphic dreams about things going wrong with obviously isnt helping with sleeping lol...

Basically apart from exhaustion all my symptoms are gone so i'm in limbo as not even booking in until 27th so my next scan is probably a month away

Hello my lovelies, glad to hear you are all getting on Ok and looking forward to the testers tomorrow.

DH has got a job! Yay! I'm so happy for him, his confidence is soaring. Only problem is its over an hours drive away so he is staying away tonight and then possibly monday-friday next week as it's too much to commute. I miss him so much on just one night (and my mum is staying!) how will I cope all week on my own?! But it's so good for him, he's been unemployed and struggling with depression for a long time so is made up to be out the house and working. This may also be a bit shit if I am in my fertile week and he's away but nevermind that for now, at least he is feeling genuinely happy for the first time in ages! Xx

MrsC yay for big boobs!! That's one little perk (or big perk?) I'm definitely looking forward to

Good luck to all the testers in the morning, I'll have my fx for you!

I'm not going to test until due I don't think, so 25th/26th (if AB hasn't shown up by then!)

Night dancing hopefully you can have a nice relaxing weekend!

Yep hb it is!! So three day weekend for me! dancing I get my updates on Saturdays it's fun, not so long now until your scan! So exciting! No idea how I'll last til 12 weeks!

I'm doing ok mrsc. The exhaustion seems to have ramped up this week, which is tough, and the nausea isn't easing yet. Still 2 weeks tomorrow I get to see my little bean. (I'm not at all counting down the days!) Fridays are the best as I get a new week's update! :) Hope you have a great day tomorrow and manage to get away without booze! ;)

Keeping my fx for the testing crew in the morning! Remember, if you're testing early a bfn isn't a definite no! My bfp wasn't until two days after I was due!

Bedtime for me... 😴

Thanks Hb that's so kind of you :) Sorry about your antibiotics though, that sounds hard. I'm a grazer so feel your pain! Do you have a testing date in mind?

Good luck for testing orange , mummy & tessa

Hope you feel better soon Red , i'm on antibiotics too (not ill) & had the same thoughts about not having to worry about the pill! They're really annoying actually, have to take 4 a day on an empty stomach or an hour before food.... this is pretty much an impossibility! I eat little & often!

mrsC is St Paddy's day a bank hol in Ireland?? Happy three day weekend! Ovia reckons AB isn't due for 10 more days i did have a random long cycle last month tho so might not be 100% accurate.

Still over the moon for you jupiter

I'm happy to use IC for testing tomorrow, particularly when I'm not that confident when I ovulated this month. I will try and buy some FRER tomorrow and use Saturday or Sunday. I keep getting fleeting thoughts that I could be pregnant but remind myself I have thought this in previous months aswell!!!

Oh and yay for the big boobs :)

MrsC - you're so right, it's just like a scratching feeling! It's so odd isn't it. Stretching uterus' :)

However if it's something that will make me cry then I will bawl, I cry at adverts, I'm utterly pathetic!

I am getting the replacement illigally downloaded for me! I must see it!

Hi girls!! St Patrick's day tomorrow so my weekend starts here!!
orange that is strange, def have a check in the morning! You never know!
jupiter that's exactly how I felt, like something scratching or like popcorn popping in utero! 😆
mummy and tessa good luck for the morning! Excitement city, mummy u can always keep fmu and get a frer if u need!
red I poor thing sinuses are the worst, hope u are feeling better
parsnips I love it!! That's how I'll imagine you from now on, typing away at your keyboard and trundling through the middle east in the mystery machine!
cocktails that's such a hard position to be in, I hope you find the right path for you and get some clarity in your head about it all.
hb hope your nips are feeling ok! When are u testing?
dancing how are you feeling?
penguin enjoy yoga! #Namaste I love yoga, must see if I can go back if preggers as it's hot yoga!

My boobs have def grown, I caught sight of myself in the mirror in work and I was like 'check me out', although they are no benefit to anyone as they feel like they have been used as a punch bag! However I fear they may give me away when I see my close friends!

Does it feel like it's coming orange - very exciting. Definitely re-test tomorrow. Am so hopeful for you!! x

confused I watched it yesterday. Loved the whole series, was great. How are you getting on lovely?

Omg who else has seen the finale of The Replacement... ive just worn myself out watching it... i sobbed as if it was my own baby involved and now i feel like i have to go to bed lol... fantastic ending though!

Still no AF - weird as I am normally so regular. I will test again in the morning if she hasn't shown up. Trying not to get excited as I have prob just stressed myself into being late this month!

jupiter I think the baby bat sounds cute

Good luck mummy and tessa will be straight to the thread tomorrow morning to check for updates :) tessa did you test this afternoon? Your urine might not have been concentrated enough to pick anything up so don't worry. mummy if they were implantation pains then might not show up tomorrow so don't be disappointed if BFN!

orange any sign of AF?

Penguin it does sound creepy, I do like bats though :) How was yoga?

I didn't get any FRER I only have IC but will still test with it tomorrow

Hehe @Mummyme87 the excitement is just too much to not symptom spot! I don't know he anyone has such restraint I was naughty and bought that frer two pack and used on already! Bfn, are you still testing tomo?
