Fingers crossed it's just spotting Punky :(
Waybuloony: I work from home and bra is a goner. Boobs feel swollen and very painful so not wanting to be constricted by bra at the minute.
Broody: my mum didn t get sickness at all so had.managed to.convince myself it wasn't going to happen to me. I am 6+3 and today has been.the worst. I just think.about certain foods like what used to be my favourite coffee or ingredient hubby put in the soup he made me and it makes me feel like I am soo seasick :s
More chances to have sickness if you get travel.sickness, are overweight, expect a girl, are expecting your first etc and I fit a lot of these so maybe that's why no sickness Bex?

Hey, I'm not really sure what it would achieve though? I had a MC at 7 weeks with my first pregnancy (dd conceived in post MC cycle). Lord, dd is having a fit about going to bed, got to go and see to her.

Going to sound thick here.
You know when you say constipated do you mean there's nothing coming out at all? I've had to really push and getting small hard bits out iyswim? Is that being constipated too?

Thanks for the reassurance girls, you're all amazing Smile I'm praying for something on Sunday!!

Hubby, I'm a bit overweight, nothing major, this is my first, I don't get travel sick, no idea if bean is a girl or boy...so I guess 2 out of 4 on that score?! X

BexBoo12 · 09/01/2014 20:54

Choccy!! Thank god you've asked that question. Sorry if this really is tmi, but I have ibs and my number 2s are rarely solid. However, they have been since bfp, have been much more regular as in possibly 3-4 times a day. As a rule, it's usually a rather good one middle morning, then throughout the day, almost rabbit droppings that I'm struggling to part with!!!!!!!

Sorry girls for tmi hides facd while I blush

Hey ladies, can I join please?

I found out I was Pregnant on NYDay. Been really paranoid as had MC last September so havent been letting it feel real until yesterday when I had an Early Pregnancy Scan! Turns out I'm 4 days earlier than I thought I was (by going on LMP) so I'm currently 5w 6d. The scan was amazing and such a reassurance. I know it's still early days but I saw the heartbeat flickering away and now I just want everything to be okay so much.

Hope everything is okay with you Punky. Thinking of you x

Bex I am massively travel sick, always was and this feels like it :s.
Have you tried peeling on stick to see if your hormones are still getting higher? I am sure they are and that you'll be fine. If you have PMS you are more likely to get symptoms. Again always got.sore books and.water retention before periods...
Choccy: constipated as in you don't go as often as you should (so you feel bloated as.you haven't had a poo for a few.days). Could also.be that you struggle to have the tiniest poo yes.

Hehe had to chuckle at the rabbit droppings description Bex. My number 2 habits have changed but probably for the better actually! More regular but not difficult to pass. It's probably as I'm consciously trying to eat more healthily. It does feel different though in that I don't feel that the muscles involved in the 'pushing' are quite as strong iykwim? Or maybe I'm just odd in this symptom?! I have had trouble with constipation before though, bad enough that I needed to see the doc so I know how it feels :(

BexBoo12 · 09/01/2014 21:05

Hubby, I did poas using 25miu test using extremely dilute pee (almost as clear as water) and the line came up immediately. I did do a cb digi when I first got bfp and got 1-2 weeks, and I did another one a week later and got 2-3 and I've literally just ordered another twin pack off amazon which will arrive on Saturday so I will do another in the hope I get 3+ weeks. I might go and do another now...you know, just to be sure Blush

Since we're on the topic, Choccy I'd beware of pushing too much if you're constipated as you don't want to give yourself piles trust me (shudder) Sorry if tmi but I had them quite badly after I broke my ankle a few years ago as I became inactive and didn't eat enough fibre etc and I swear it hurt so much doing a poo that it was training for childbirth.

Choccywoccydodah · 09/01/2014 21:26

I don't try and push too much, I'm scared of it effecting my cervix!!
I also push on my perenium?? (Bit of skin in between both holes!!) with my finger, it seems to help push it out!! Shock

Report
topmammy · 09/01/2014 21:33

Yeah that can work pushing on the perenium. I'm not sure if it's safe in pregnancy or not but those dulco ease tablets are usually effective overnight. And drink lots and lots of water. I had to give myself a mini enema you can buy over the counter the time I had it badly, it was soo unpleasant. The phrase 'poo baby' springs to mind Blush. Ok I'll stop telling you my most disgusting tmi secrets now haha Blush
