Would you say the 3rd test down was my peak? Seems to be getting lighter top one was today. These were alot brighter irl. The picture of one on its own was the third test down before it dryed. How many more days should I DTD? And when would I class 1dpo? Thanks 😁

@Confused678866 might tell them tomorrow if the pictures are any good so they can actually see it. If not then IL wait until 12 weeks. I'm not to sure how they will react tbh I hope it's good as I don't want anymore depression with the way I'm feeling ATM 😩🤞 xx

@Confused678866 I am in a way to see if it looks more baby like and not a blob but then part of me is so scared that something is wrong. Like I'm filled with dread for some reason 😩🤦 need to try and think positive and not worry all the time xx

Confused678866 · 23/09/2021 19:46

@Skl2021 Yeah, I think it will be pretty tough at the beginning but we'll get there!
Yeah I'm quite anxious to be honest but I'm just trying to be as careful as I can.. wish it would all just go away! 😣
Are you looking forward to your scan tomorrow? Xx

@Confused678866 your right he will adapt it may take time or be a bit of a shock at first but I'm sure he will be a great big brother! Yes it's hard trying to balance work but also u need to protect yourself! Im sure everything will be fine your taking brilliant precautions! I'm scared of catching it and I'm double vaxxed so can't imagine how u feel xx

@Skl2021 It's natural to worry though.. I've been exactly the same! My little boy is all me, constantly and I'm worried he will resent me when the baby is here! He probably will for a short time but it's natural isn't it!
The tiredness definitely won't be helping.. hopefully it all starts to ease soon 🤞🏻
I'm okay thank you.. been juggling working from home this week and my toddler being home too. Lots of staff tested positive for covid last weekend and even though it was safe for him to go, I decided not to send him apart from today as I'm worried about catching it now I'm approaching third trimester and not vaccinated! Xx

@Confused678866 I just feel like I'm going to ruin there lives 😩 just alot of panic and worry ATM. Probably doesn't help with the tiredness 😩 mum guilt is horrible!! I just need a break 🙄🤞🙌 how are you doing xx

OP posts:
Confused678866 · 23/09/2021 17:26

@Skl2021 Ahh don't be too hard on yourself. Once the tiredness and sickness passes, you'll start to feel a lot better. I've had wobbles like that too.. worrying about how my son will be, how we'll afford more nursery fees etc etc.. and just how the dynamics will change generally. You've done the hardest jump which apparently is 1 to 2 so you'll smash it this time. I think the scan will help you tomorrow too ❤️ xx

@Confused678866 I think it's just hitting me all at once. I'm constantly tired and feeling sick. Iv been working alot more and just trying to keep everything afloat is hard. The kids keep asking to do things and I'm just saying no to everything which is totally unfair on them and I'm just questioning if we're doing the right thing 😩 things are only going to get harder right! I'm just having a low moment. Hoping it passes soon. I have my private scan tomorrow maybe that will help. I also constantly think something is going to go wrong 🤦 my mind is just in overdrive xx

@Skl2021 Hey, you okay?? Xx

Confused678866 · 14/09/2021 19:15

@Skl2021 Ooh no my furniture is Mothercare, sorry didn't word it very well! It's so good that you've kept all of that, will save you a fortune!
I know, so expensive 🤦🏼‍♀️
Tell me about it.. I'm gonna have 2 lots of nursery fees to pay for end of next year 😑 xx

@Confused678866 haha we have the mamas and papas nursery furniture too 🤣🙈 still have the cot and wardrobe and drawers so at least we have something 🤣🙌 Will just need a new mattress! Not cheap this baby stuff 🤦 haha no love window shopping 😂 if only I could win the lottery! X

OP posts:
Confused678866 · 14/09/2021 15:56

@Skl2021 Yeah so quickly, it's ridiculous!
We're lucky that we didn't have to buy ours and my parents bought all of the nursery furniture too so I think we saved about 2 grand in total!! 😳
I'm just using the Mamas & Papas one from our son again, can't justify buying a new one.
Haha oh yeah, I do that all the time... looking at stuff I can't afford, it's like a hobby 😂😂 xx

@Confused678866 no they grow out of it so quickly! I'm not swaying either way yet I have no gut feeling yet. Maybe once I get a bit further on 🙊🙈 I was wrong with gut feeling last time anyway 🤣 oh yes our first was mamas and papas cost around £900 and second we didn't spend alot on one maybe 200. Cant afford alot this time either but doesn't stop me looking 🤣🙈 xx

Confused678866 · 14/09/2021 15:46

@Skl2021 There's quite a lot of choice for neutral now but I just refuse to buy it all if I'm not going to need it for long.. I'd rather save the money and buy stuff after baby is born! I've got so much stuff my son didn't even wear!
Ahh what's your gut feeling on the gender? Mine is still boy 🙊
Oh I know 🤦🏼‍♀️ my partners mum and dad bought ours from Mamas & Papas but if I had to buy one this time around, I'd definitely look for something cheaper!! Xx

Skl2021 · 14/09/2021 15:37

@Confused678866 yes I didn't buy alot in last pregnancy and there wasn't alot of choice of neutral clothes. Yes I think as soon as I find out pink or blue then I will start buying 🙊 I can't wait! Cant believe the price of some of the prams tho 🙈 x

OP posts:
Confused678866 · 14/09/2021 15:15

@Skl2021 Yeah it definitely makes it feel more real! Haha it's fun isn't it buying baby stuff.
Im not buying a lot because of not knowing gender! Apart from a few vest, im done really on the clothing as I've just bought some neutral babygrows. Luckily we don't have many big things to buy either!
Ahh yeah but it's exciting being able to pick everything out! 🥰 xx

@Confused678866 aww it's lovely feeling the kicks and movements 🙊 becomes so much more real! I keep finding myself looking at cute baby clothes I can't wait to start buying again! We will pretty much need everything again 🤦 xx

OP posts:
Confused678866 · 14/09/2021 15:03

@Skl2021 Yeah hopefully it doesn't last too long 🤞🏻 I have heard that too, they often don't know why the bleeding happens!
I know, crazy.. starting to buy stuff now and made a list of the few bits we need so it's really feeling real! Strong kicks now too, partner can't feel them and you can see them on my stomach 🙊
No haven't booked anything yet, will do but just haven't got around to it xx

@Confused678866 yes I can't wait for the sickness to pass already 🙊😩 yes they just said sometimes they don't have a reason why so guess il just have to live with it. Hopefully it stops. Yes it doesn't seem like that long ago u told me! It is flying! Did u book your private scan? Xx
