August 2014. What a Christmas present!

Thread number 2 ladies.

It's a perfect Christmas present for me!

Misery, did you get a positive uti test? I have had pretty bad bladder pressure and the constant need to pee just like a uti, but it comes and goes. I don't think it's a uti though, as no pain when I pee. It is so exhausting though!

I can't remember when I started to feel naff last time but it may have been later. Am about 6wks but don't feel bad at all- anyone else start feeling sick later on? I felt horrid last

Time so worried that something wrong....

I am feeling slightly sick but not enough to put me off my food! I had no sickness or anything last time so this is a whole new world for me!

Did you have a boy or girl friend?

I have a boy. He was one on Saturday.

Ruggle yep, had blood and white blood cells in urine at docs on Friday. Sighhh!

You should go back to your dr asap misery . The a-bs shold have kicked in by now. If you tell them you've been on the a-bs for days and they haven't worked, they'll see you urgently. You may need different ones. That's what happened to me last time I had a UTI. The second lot worked.

Oooo Shak thanks so much! I was debating going tomorrow but I definitely will now.

shak were you pregnant at the time you had the UTI?

To whoever asked about clothes in the early days, you can loop a hair band through the button hole in jeans so that the hairband goes over the button instead of the actual trousers if that makes sense. Just make sure you wear a long top! that gave me a few extra weeks last time.

Name, genius :D

Why thank you misery (bows modestly)

I'd love to claim it as my original idea but I'd be lying :-D

I'm going to try it right now!

That's a good tip name I feel soooooo bloated. I think it's mainly because I always hold my stomach in, and feel like I can't now. I
I'm paranoid people are noticing my rounded belly, how did this happen so fast, it's got to be wind ha :)

Nausea for me is a bit frustrating, feel sick constantly but not been vommed once, not sure if I'd rather just be sick, but I don't know if being sick eases it? I spent almost the whole weekend in bed. Tiredness is awful really admire anyone where you already have a child it must be such hard work. I was at my desk this afternoon and I was sat there thinking I really don't know how I'm going to get through the next few hours I could have cried!

No, I wasn't. I had a painless UTI which meant I just needed to go the loo all the time and I thought I was going a bit tra-la-la. Any time I'd had them before, it had been really painful so with this one by the time I saw the dr, the infection was really bad!

I bought some of those button extender thingies last time. I never went into any maternity clothes at all! I fell preg at this time of year and asked dh to buy me some clothes when I needed them.......I never got them!

*asked dh for clothes as my Christmas pressie when I needed them I meant

Should I be worried that I don't have any symptoms so far? I must be about 5 weeks. Maybe it's too early?

I'm nigh on symptom-less, Terra and I'm 5+4.

I'm hopeful they will kick in soon enough though. :-)

terra I don't have many symptoms either. I've just gone into my fifth week. I'm shattered, but I think that's probably because I'm a teacher and it's the end of the term, and I getting swelling where I guess my uterus is, especially after I eat, but that's it. No sickness. Oddly I kind of want some. But just once. Just so I can say I felt it ; )

Hi terra
Welcome!
I meant to ask you - where are you in the US?
I'm also an expat in the US, in NYC.

Enjoy not having symptoms! Many women don't have any or they kick in in week 6 or 7 when your hormone levels really start hitting the high notes!

Misery - I was diagnosed with an UTI last week even before my first BFP. had antibiotics but didn't feel 100%, saw GP today who was brilliant and prescribed a broad spectrum antibiotic that's safe in pregnancy and said she wasn't even going to wait and see how they work, she's sent an urine sample off to get tested so it can be sorted straight away. If you got pain that bad get yourself an Appt tomorrow.... and that would be the advice whether someone was pregnant or not! hope you start feeling better soon x

Thanks shak and sharkey The reason I asked whether you were pg Shak was because my dr mentioned that there are only certain antibiotics I can have while this early in the pregnancy!
But yeah, going back anyway, I felt better for a few days but the past 24hrs have been dire and I was having to pee every 30mins earlier today!

Hello, can I join? I POAS this morning and got a bfp! It's my first and I'm trying not to get too excited as it's very early days.
