@Marie1990xyes I got my usual migraine tablet found out it is safe to take thank god! I’m coming round now and the guilt is eating at me for not going in, always the way! Maybe it’s just high HCG but exactly you’ll know soon enough! Is it Sunday week then your scan is?! 🙌🏻 it’s strange how the food actually eases it aswell as making us sick 🤣 I couldn’t keep my dinner down last night 🤣

@Daniki yeah but I’ve counted 5+3 from my first peak 😂 god knows, will see what they measure at our scan next week. It was the same with my daughter but at the nhs one they still stuck to the LMP date even though I know for sure it was later than that.

oh no bless you!! You’re having such a rough ride with it! Don’t blame you for calling in sick. Have you managed to get something? Get that taken and back into bed!

Mine isn’t too bad. Keep getting headaches and nausea but haven’t physically thrown up since that one time a few days ago. Seems to be when I can smell food it turns my stomach but when I eat it eases it

@Marie1990xnever seen those tests before! I’d say ovulated earlier as you had two peaks didn’t you prob ovulated the first peak? Sometimes our bodies just have a mind of their own 🤣 iv an awful migraine today been up since 3 sick with it so iv rang in sick, and just waiting on the chemist to open to try and get something for it so i can go home and get back into bed 🫣 how’s yours? Xx

@Daniki I’ve started taking an extra iron tablet so I’ll see how I get on with that. They’ll check my levels at my booking appt on 17th anyway 😊. I might have a look at the liquid iron you mentioned!
I got some of those tests that say how far you are up to 6 weeks. According to my OPK’s I should be like 5+3, from LMP I’m 6 weeks exactly, and the test has shown 6+. So I don’t know if I just have high hcg or I ovulated earlier than I thought 😂.

how are you getting on? How’s the sickness? X

@Marie1990xoh probably, can to get your bloods done? I quite liked spatone iron there I was taking it to get mine up! Yea he has thank god I hope he’s not going to get up really early again. Going to hit the hay now myself and hope for a long night 🤣🤞🏻

@Daniki haha yeah she was shocked I’d managed to keep it to myself 😂.

hopefully he’s gone to bed nice and early tonight?

I’m absolutely exhausted. Can’t keep my eyes open. I went to bed last night at like 8:30 slept solid and still shattered today. I’m thinking it might be my iron. Happened in my last pregnancy and then with my
bloods a few months ago saying I was low in it I’m guessing it’s that

@Marie1990xaw lovely! I’d imagine so especially after talking about your hycosy 🤣 I know, I feckn knew it would happen as he got up later on Mother’s Day 🤣

@Daniki aww it went really well thanks. She was SO shocked, never seen her that speechless 😂.

Sounds like a lovely day 😊. On god 3:30!!! That is torture 😅😅

@Marie1990xhow did your Mother’s Day go? Did your mam get a big shock? I had a lovely day and we went out for a nice dinner, was spoilt! And typically my son was up at 3.30am this morning, I just knew that would happen 🤣

Marie1990x · 30/03/2025 09:42

@Daniki oh that’s so typical!!! To be honest I completely forgot the clocks changed so thinking about it I didn’t get a lie in at all 😂. Only clicked now when I saw the time on the oven and confused myself.

That sounds like a perfect morning to me! Enjoy 😊.

I will do eek 😁 xx

@Marie1990xhe didn’t actually! And typically I was awake at half 6, and no one else was. I was getting up at ten to 8 to make toast before I got sick and my husband woke up and made it then 🤣 my son didn’t get up to 8! Unheard of but not surprising seeing as it wasn’t my turn to get up 🤣 going to go have a nose round the shops by myself to a while now as we’re going for dinner with my parents in law later. Let me know how it goes telling your mam 🙌🏻

@Daniki haha did he go to the pub in the end?

@Daniki nothing wrong with an early night 😊 make the most of the sleep 😅.

sickness hasn’t been too bad today, just a bit nauseous earlier but not physically sick. I did my digital this morning and got my 3+, sooner than I expected to be honest, so will try stop doing any testing now 😅.

OP posts:
Daniki · 29/03/2025 14:08

@Marie1990xoh defo once you can start talking about it for sure! 🥰 I was in bed for half 9 last night the tiredness is unreal! Are you sick today?

Marie1990x · 28/03/2025 20:53

@Daniki literally! Me and my husband have only just really started talking about it properly too, so doesn’t feel real at all. Think once it’s out the bag on Sunday it’ll start feeling more real.

Hahaha that’s a busy day for birthdays! Nice not too long to go then, and everything is absolutely fine at the moment so it’s all very very positive 🥰🥰

Daniki · 28/03/2025 20:47

@Marie1990xyep the first trimester is the worst!! 🤣 and no one knows either so you’re keeping it all a secret! My scan is on fri 11th, my MIL & my brothers birthday and my sons original due date 🤣

@Daniki that’s amazing that they’re keeping such a close eye on you, definitely makes you feel more confident with them doesn’t it. Hahahaha nooo stop comparing! If there wasn’t any uncertainties from the doctors then that’s amazing and run with it 😊. When is your private scan?

I hate this lull before scans and after positive tests. It’s like no man’s land, there’s no bump to show you’re pregnant and no excitement over lines 😅. Just exhaustion and sore tits 🤣

Daniki · 28/03/2025 18:29

@Marie1990xthats a great dye stealer! 🥳🥳🙌🏻 I didn’t actually mention it because it felt a bit rushed, it was 2 doctors iv never seen before and it was all a bit weird 🤣 wish it had been the doctor I had been seeing previously she was so lovely. I was looking at the scan they gave me afterwards and it didn’t have the measurements or anything on it for me to compare to the last one 🤣 Will hold out for the private one as I know it will be quite detailed! I will hopefully relax after that 🤣 I’ll be back 2 weeks after that anyway for my booking app and scan and then il have one 5 weeks after for my 20 week. They did say to me today with my history il be in the maternal medicine clinic again, which I expected so I will have extra monitoring at that and they scan tou at every appointment!

@Daniki awww amazing news!!! Such a daunting time isn’t it, will you relax after your 12w one 😂? 2 days is nothing really in the grand scheme of things is it. Bet you feel so relieved. Did you mention the spotting again to them?

I needed another digital for Sunday/Monday in the hope I get my 3+, but got a boots as well because I missed peeing on them and wanted to check it was still picking hcg as I still can’t believe it 😅. Got my due stealer though 🤞🏻💪🏼🫶🏻
