Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Thread 7

oooh how cool Grumpy - glad everything is OK.

Wiggley that sounds like a plan. You are getting married in June right? You don't want to be worried and stressed especially whilst getting married. It's the best time ever - you need to enjoy it. Plus you gotta have bubbly on your wedding day/honeymoon right? It's all we drank for about two weeks straight! (sorry buzz ha!)

Good luck confused
Hope you are getting on OK red
My fingers are firmly crossed mummy xx

Just doing my meal plans for the week. I'm starting properly today as there was too much naughty food & drink in the house to start yesterday and I HATE throwing food away. Getting some AF aches this time - haven't had any of those since the pill days. Quite like them - they're making me feel normal

That's all such good news grumpy, really happy for you! Excellent they are offering you a follow up one - love the NHS.

Good luck confused, can't wait to hear all about it!!

Thanks confused and good luck today! It's your 11-12wk scan right? Sorry if I didn't remember correctly x

They said the egg came from my right ovary which I thought was interesting (that they can tell!)

Sorry Xpost Grumpy... so glad it went well for you and that you had a scan and 8 weeks is a good time for a reassurance scan! Also nice to know if you spot its likely to be the bruising not anything else!

Thinking of you today Tigger

I'm just about to leave work to head to the ECG... quite nervous although i'm not sure why to be honest lol

Thanks all, EPU opened at 8:30 (so I don't think it's your trust mummy) but there was a queue so I only just got seen. They said not to worry about the food poisoning/ bug just get lots of fluids and rest.

They did a trans vaginal scan (a new experience I must say!) and saw a sac and a yolk. So the pregnancy is confirmed and they said there was some bruising where the placenta is implanting into uterus wall so I could get some spotting / bleeding. They've booked me another scan for 3wks time for reassurance which is nice. Spot on for 5+2 but just looked like a black blob to me. And there is only 1 (phew).

Going home now to rest.
I swear my boss thinks I'm skiving we are really busy at the moment

OHhh Grumpy let us know how you are, i was catching up, getting excited that you are having an early scan!

Hb i bet you are excited now you have a book appointment confirmed AND the reception lady was nice! Result!

Hope you get a better nights sleep tonight Tigger

Good luck for today Grumpy!

Sorry I've been a bit AWOL recently, I think I'm going to take a bit of a back seat and just check in occasionally. I have been thinking really carefully about out ttc plans and I think we should start trying on our honeymoon. As much as it kills me to wait even longer, I know I'm going to be ridden with anxiety and if anything happens that makes me worry I won't be able to pop to the local EPU and I'll just have to sit tight. I can imagine it ruining our time and consuming all my thoughts.
I'd still like to stay and keep up with all of you though, I love hearing how you're all getting on.

tigger my thoughts will be with you today. No wonder you have had trouble sleeping.

grumpy hope you recover quickly and EPU can put your mind at rest. Lots of fluids x

mummy when are you testing again? Promising symptoms!

DH and I are away from home staying with relatives this week and stupidly didn't bring OPKs. I'm worried that if I have a normal cycle this month (on CD10 today) that we might miss the boat if we assume I won't ovulate until CD19/20 like most months. Bit awkward trying to fit in some 'cosy' time when staying with relatives 🙈

And tigger I'm thinking about you a lot today ❤️

Yeah take the day off grumpy it may be norovirus. I had it a few weeks ago, knocked me for six. I wouldn't worry about d&v either at any gestation really unless you are unable to hold fluids down. Hope you're feeling better today. Did you say you lived in south London? My trust epu opens at 8am.. I always wonder if people I talk to on here come to my workplace.

I'm in on a study day today but knackered as DD was awake at 5.50am 😤

My nipples are intermittently sore like pins today and still have tender boobs, like bruised..but this could be pre AF boobs!!

Hope you're okay today tigger

grumpy id definitely take the day off. Just in case it wasn't what you ate and a bug- it's contagious for 48 hours I think so you shouldn't go in. You should also deffo rest ❤️

Grumpy sounds like you might need the day to recover and catch up on sleep lovely. Be kind to yourself.

Hope all goes ok for you today confused.

Tigger thinking of you today, hope it goes as well as it can do and that you are home quickly.

Grumpy sorry to hear you had a bad night. I'm sure the EPU will be able to give you the reassurance you need.

Tigger. Hope you're OK and today goes as well as it can do. Take care my lovely xx

Good luck today tigger I'll be thinking of you and thanks for your support in the small hours x

So tired. Hope they can reassure me about food poisoning, or check what kind it is. At least the D&V has stopped. Probably won't go to work today depends what they say.

Tigger and grumpy so sorry you've had bad nights. Sending you lots of thoughts today. Keep us posted when you can xx

grumpy sorry to hear about your terrible night. Hope you're feeling better now and good luck at EPU. Little bean is strong. Will be thinking of you.

Also thinking of you today tigger hope it goes as well as it can given the circumstance.

Hope everyone else has a good day

Oh grumpy hope you're feeling a bit better this morning. Keeping everything crossed for you ❤️

Oh Grumpy hope things have improved from earlier hun, good luck with EPU, hope you can get there nice & early & get the reassurance you need... I'm sure the seedling is tougher than we expect!

Cross post. So glad you got a little sleep. Hope you don't have to wait too long.

Grumpy sounds so horrible and scary. Hope it has mostly passed now and you managed to snatch some sleep. Hope all is well at EPU. ❤

Tigger I'm sorry you didn't sleep well. I hope you're doing ok and not too nervous about today. Will be thinking of you.

Thanks all for the reassurance... got 4hrs sleep finally and feeling a bit better although tummy is still not right. DH is taking me to the EPU when it opens at 8.

Oooh no Grumpy lots of love xxx hopefully you've gotten some sleep xxx
