Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 6

Hb how exciting. You are amazing for not testing yet.. although saying that seeing a white BFN is in some ways worse than AB arriving. Have you got a FRER on standby for tomorrow? Loved your fun facts! Staggered that sperm can generate enough momentum to come out that quickly. Amazing really yet such a flawed process in other ways :)

Dancing hope tomorrow goes well, you will have to tell us all about it. Am sure you are feeling nervous about the scan but am sure all will be fine. Glad you’re managing to cope with the sickness too. Once 12 weeks have passed and you’ve had the scan maybe the waiting will seem easier (here’s hoping - I can’t bear all this waiting around!)

Tigger great news about 1st part of booking done. Roll on 19th April for the scan. Bet you can’t wait to see him/her again :)

Glad you've found coping mechanisms Tigger! I'm also seeing friends today (one who knows) I'm so tired of the secret now. Also starting to feel increasingly anxious about my scan. :s

With the sickness I have worked out I need to eat something small every 45 minutes and it's a little bit easier.

Morning all! Had my booking in appointment part 1 last week where I got all the forms and went through all the blood tests etc. Next one is Friday. My scan is 19th April and it can't come soon enough.

Beautiful day here today! Got friends coming over this morning (how am I not going to tell them?!) then to collect my Mother's Day flowers then. Then out in the garden for me this afternoon.

Mine is Sunday! Surprised, but at least I don't have to take time off work secretly gutted! It was all they offered!

40 mph?! Wow! I guess male bodies are pretty impressive too, just obviously not so much as ours!

Wilde sounds very sweet, you guys must be so excited!

Hope you're coping ok confused and sickness/exhaustion is easing for mrsc and Tigger!

Jupiter, the nipples are crazy, right?!

Think it was buzz ?

Morning everyone!!

Can't believe something so teeny tiny can wreak so much havoc!!

CD30 over here, i have no idea how many dpo jupiter because i was being all cool and not tracking then TOTALLY regretted it! I won't make that mistake again, I would imagine 13dpo, from some possible Ov twinges. No AB yet but I'm not a first thing kind of girl!

Two fun facts....
1)Sperm get ejected at 40 MILES AN HOUR! can't even comprehend how that happens!
2) lots of women find Ov can be delayed in march by the spring equinox... this doesnt surprise me as so much can be led by moon pHases etc!

Enjoy the races parsnips

Good luck with the m/w appointments buzz & tigger ?? Someone has one Sunday?? (Which is very impressive in itself!)

Happy Saturday!

Aunt Bitch! AF was renamed last month (can't remember by who though..) :)

What's AB??? I'm guessing AF, but why?!

Wilde That's absolutely lovely, you must have made his year! The line on the ICs I've got definitely get darker. I did one yesterday and it was darker and a bit thicker than the control line even :) So happy for you both!

Wiggles glad all is well down there :) phew!

Hb any sign of AB? Am still willing it away here.. what DPO are you technically today? I know AB due tomorrow.

buzz literally cannot wait to hear about your midwife appt! Is the house looking stunning?

parsnips enjoy the races and grumpy enjoy the gorge hair!!

Caught sight of my nipples in the mirror this morning - I was not at all prepared! Swear they are already much bigger and darker. This little 'dot snail' (size of it according to Ovia) is already taking over my body!

Well, that was lovely! He arrived home not too late, and huge smile and kiss when I told him! We're cautiously excited!!!

Just took an IC and I think the line is a little more obvious than the first one I took...do they ever get really dark on an IC?

Hey everyone!

Just checking in, love catching up on your messages!

Seven V-j is so much better! Phew, I think all your wonderful tips about hot flannels worked and it's shrunk so quickly so hopefully clear up on its own.

Wilde congratulations on your BFP

Grumpy love the hair! Looks gorgeous, you're also doing a really good job of not symptom spotting. It must be so hard!

I've watched Beauty and the Beast tonight! Absolutely loved it.

Haha thanks guys you are making me smile 😁

Love it Grumpy you babe x (what I can see of you lol!)

Hair looks amazing!!! Love the colour and the cut is lovely too 👌🏽 very nice grumpy

Ooo grumpy that's gorgeous! Love it!!

Loving the hair grumpy!

Have a great day at the races tomorrow parsnips, you'll look fab.

Oo, love it!! Looks amazing!

Oh wow what gorgeous hair!! Looks fab grumpy!! X

Thank you.. almost home to take more selfies haha xx

Beautiful!!!

Perfect spring hair!

Love the hair!

Love your hair grumpy!!

Before and after.. what do you reckon girls??
I need to adjust my make up routine I think! Not quite as light blonde as I had hoped but I do like it (I think)

Jupiter I got mine through before booking (thankfully, as still haven't had that yet!) but I do think it's more common for it to be arranged after booking.

buzz that’s so interesting that we have the same symptoms! Keep waiting for the nausea to hit, do you? I second the idea that you tell your friends that you’re pre-wedding detoxing and things and then you can tell them all your baby news at the hen do! So excited for you that you’ve already got your scan date - your NHS trust is very on the ball. I assume I won’t get my appointment until after my booking in appointment which isn’t for another 4 weeks..or have other humped ladies had theirs before booking in?

Fingers crossed for you penguin, really hope the next week goes quickly.

Thanks seven, I just had some tomatoes and actually my throat does feel a bit better! I don’t dare take any paracetamol or anything so tomatoes it will have to be.

MrsC hope you’re managing to force down a slice of pizza :) Wish that was my problem!

Parsnips you will look fab, sounds gorgeous.

grumpy how is the hair???
