Very early days yet but there must be a couple of others somewhere?

vix206 · 10/03/2013 06:39

Blueseashore I'm only 4 weeks. Due 15 November (or 13 depending on cycle length...) No nausea really but definitely hungry and lots of other symptoms. Grin

blueseashore · 10/03/2013 07:46

Urgh honey, rubbish about the headache and throwing up! Hope day improves.

vix nice to hear from another 4 weeker! I think I must be making up my symptoms but I guess if there's a positive test then there have to be some hormones to blame.

Happy mothers day all Smile

MTB82 · 10/03/2013 08:11

Happy Mother's Day to all those mums and mums-to-be!!

honey86 · 10/03/2013 08:18

it does Hmm im not sure what exactly happened to my mate... shes in a right state saying her babys been rushed to nicu wiv blood and breathing problems and might be brain damaged... well worried Sad

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 10/03/2013 08:42

honey sorry you are feeling rough today, it's kind of reassuring though. Really sorry our friends baby is having problems. She must be so worried.

blue and vix I got pregnancy symptoms much earlier with this pregnancy than with any of my others. Nearly threw up the day before my period was due. It could have all been in my head of it could be that I know what I'm in fit this time round. No increased sense of smell this time and my boobs aren't as sore.

Happy Mother's Day to us all Smile

vix206 · 10/03/2013 08:44

Honey that's awful, let us know what happens Hmm

Blueseashore - I had symptoms very early on with DS, and same this time. As soon as implantation has taken place the hormone levels change and symptoms can start. For me it's mainly temperature fluctuations, sore bbs, weird dreams, palpitations and tiredness.

CheeseandGherkins · 10/03/2013 09:27

Thanks Dizzy, getoffthecoffeetable, pitstop, fakebook and Ginsling Feeling less stressed today but worries will always be at the back of my mind. I know I'm likely to have GD again as they told me so that will be fun again! I actually hate needles and am quite phobic believe it or not but had to inject 3 times a day. Really hoping to avoid that this time.

Happy Mother's day everyone, I have my 4 around me and have had a lovely decaff coffee and crumpets smothered in butter, yum. Chocolates and cards which were lovely too, not eaten any chocolate yet though.

It's currently snowing here so we're off sledging later on if it settles and will be seeing my mum as well.

Purple I can understand the needles, hugs. I remember I was still in the early days of grieving at your stage so please be kind to yourself. I felt numb for a long time. The hurt never goes, you learn a new normal. You're welcome to pm me if you want to talk about anything.

Harverina I think they can definitely grow this quickly, not sure about mine as I'm still breastfeeding dd3.

MTB82 my parents know, my mum was here when I tested and I showed her after dh!

whenshewasbadshewashopeful thank you, I have every faith in this hospital and my consultant was an amazing woman so I know I'll be well looked after. Hoping to make it past 34 weeks, well hoping to get that far first iyswim. Glad you and dh have made up, I'm very hormonal too.

pitstop I went to bed at 9.30 last night but was exhausted all day. When I looked at the time and it was only 9pm I knew I wasn't going to last much longer.

Fairy hugs, sadly people like that rarely change, sounds very selfish. Dh's mother is similar, her first live grandchild (our dd3) was 1 in Feb and she didn't see her then and we still haven't seen her...you'd have thought that after our daughter died that this would make dd3 even more precious but apparently not. Hope your mother surprises you

stuffthenonsense that is terrible from your late mil!

vix that is shocking, some people have no clue!

blueseashore thanks, it's so nice being able to chat with others going through all the same pregnancy problems and tiredness etc too, that in itself helps :) I think I'm 5+3 today now. I've definitely had symptoms so far, headaches, extreme fatigue, hormonal and starving, needing a wee all the time.

Honey I'm a testaholic, I've done about 4 already. I did a first response which came up positive right away and was stronger than the first ones I've done before, was middle of the day too. I should have tested first thing but couldn't wait after buying it. My lines have been very dark now too and instant. So sorry your friends baby is ill, I hope things will be ok.

Fairydogmother · 10/03/2013 10:04

Thanks cheese - you and I are both 5+3!

Feeling a bit teary this morning. OH isn't good with mothers day, birthdays etc and neglected to get me even a card on behalf of DS. He woke up late, realised what day it was and offered to get me a card and a croissant from the co-op. Erm... no thanks, I'd rather you put some actual thought into it Sad

Really, really quite upset. Irrationally so. Thanks, hormones!

RubyWindsor · 10/03/2013 10:43

Suffolk I just came on to write to you! Six weeks today!! GrinGrinGrin

Icing sorry you've not had a card... Thanks have some Virtual flowers! Enjoy the rest of your day with your DS xx

Theicingontop · 10/03/2013 10:50

It's alright, OH went to work. I'm gonna make some cupcakes, get myself some pity chocolate and man up.

You have some too! Thanks

Fairydogmother · 10/03/2013 10:56

Craving sweet things at the min! Cadburys fruit and nut for breakfast to be specific Wink

Cheese I am beyond impressed at your post! My brain is smush right now and I would have had to write notes to remember anywhere near enough to write half your post! Have you tried hypnobirthing to help you with the stress? I found it very helpful to help me to find new ways of focussing on being positive after dd4 was in SCBU for so long. I was paranoid that my next pregnancy was going to end catastrophically and I learnt ways of shutting off that voice.
Icing enjoy your baking spend the day making yourself happy

Fairy & cheese - I'm 5w&3d too! Amazing how pleasing the passing of each day feels. It's only a tiny step of progress but still feels like progress!

Fairy I'm sorry you mum hasn't got in touch, but like others have said try and concentrate on the love and happiness of your friends and OH. Cheese your MIL sounds horrendous! Sorry if that's a bit too harsh I just think that's so hurtful for her son and for you. Is there a reason she reacted like that? Again I'm sure everyone else around you is over the moon so try to forget her comments. Maybe she'll come around as time goes on.

We still haven't told anyone yet. Thinking of telling MIL & FIL today, although feels strange the idea of other people knowing. However we are struggling with friends as they don't believe my excuse for not drinking. Went out for dinner last night and we are using excuse of me being on strong antibiotics as why I can't drink but one of our friends just said "yeah right, when's it due?" We are trying to keep up the pretence but that's the second time it's happened. It feels so awkward lying to friends but I'm just not ready to go public. Does anyone have any tips because we are obviously not doing this well and everyone will know before long Shock?

Happy Mother's Day to all those with little ones! ??

GinSling82 · 10/03/2013 12:49

Sorry stuff I was talking about the comments you MIL said and directed it to Cheese!!

Baby brain has set in already! Sorry!

williaminajetfighter · 10/03/2013 13:06

Ginsling I'm 5+3 too. Can't believe it as last two mcs ended about now. Am praying I can make it to 6!!

GinSling82 · 10/03/2013 13:22

Congrats William! I'm focusing on reaching 6 weeks too! I think I'll be so happy when I get there but I'm sure once I am I'll only be focused on the next goal of 7...8...9. Fingers crossed our beans stickWink. I just wish the days would pass a little faster.

Theicingontop · 10/03/2013 14:17

I'm 5+4 today. Though by looking at my middle you'd think I was six months, when will this weird bloating go away?

MTB82 · 10/03/2013 14:27

I think I'm 7 today based on the drs estimate but I think that's a bit generous. I totally agree though, I definitely feel like I'm just trying to tick off days. Feel like I'm living in a bit of a daze at the moment, feeling a little bit lost tbh.

Fairydogmother · 10/03/2013 14:30

I think once we've had scans etc and you can SEE something it might be more real!

MTB82 · 10/03/2013 14:31

I hope do think I'm feeling a bit hormonal and lonely as DH away all week so home alone and time seems to have just slowed down Sad
