Yay, welcome English and congratulations. Thanks

PolytheneGirl · 12/05/2014 09:18

I'm really worried this morning. I've been feeling really unwell all weekend and thought I might have a UTI but now I've got light brown cm when I wipe. I know everyone says it's normal but I'm still really worried. I don't really know if I should call someone or just try to sit it out.

lindamagoo · 12/05/2014 09:23

Poly just phone someone to put your mind at ease, it may just be a urine infection, I had that with ds1, but it's still a worry

fancyacupoftea · 12/05/2014 09:23

I say call someone Poly - worse that happens is they tell you to wait it out but at least you'd then know that's the official advice?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/05/2014 09:23

Poly - ive had brown cm for days. Still there now, but everything i've read says brown is fine. If it turns red, call the Dr. Unfortunately there's not a lot that can be done either way. Sending you a massive hug, try not to panic. If calling the dr will put your mind at ease do it.

MelMc73 · 12/05/2014 09:24

Woohoo!! Congratulations English!! You were so convinced you weren't as well! Fab news and welcome!

I have told my mum.....my excuse was that I wanted someone to speak to other than DH. I have also told my gym friends (but DH doesn't know this lol) as I will need an excuse for lowering my body pump weights (one of them is the instructor!!). Not that I have been anywhere near the gym this past week. Will go for half an hour tonight if not too tired.

We had a lovely weekend in Fife. Weather wasn't too bad. Stuffed my face with Fish and Chips and ice-cream and drank Appletizer...by by wine Sad lol. I was soo tired when we got hom I actually had to go for a nap.

Got all the bumph through from the midwives.....scary booklets about all the screening tests and what can go wrong! I'd forgotten.....everything! First apt is 5th June (ages!) then scan is 14th July - I'll be 14 weeks then but its the best they can do as we are on holidays before that.

Happy belated birthday munday!

fancyacupoftea · 12/05/2014 09:24

Yay English!

fancyacupoftea · 12/05/2014 09:29

Getting more funny cramps this morning so going to ring for an early scan just to put myself at ease. Also thought I actually felt a bit sick this morning for the first time but it could just be tiredness.

fancyacupoftea · 12/05/2014 09:40

Woo all booked for Friday! Excited/nervous.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/05/2014 09:44

I'm going to book an early scan too...after the mc I need some reassurance. Anyone in the Berkshire area that can recommend any where? How far are you along now Fancy?

fancyacupoftea · 12/05/2014 10:09

6+3 today English, feel like it's going very slowly! On the jan thread I've put where I'm getting my scan done if you want to check them out.

sazzlehopes · 12/05/2014 10:33

Happy birthday for yesterday Munday! Hope you had a good one.

English!!!!! so great to see you over here. I really hope all works out for you, an early scan sounds sensible to put your mind at rest.

Fancy thanks for the bra link, defo going to get one of those BHS ones. I have normally teeny boobs, but they are a bit bigger now and don't fit my normal bras which are now so uncomfortable. That sort of crop top thing is just what I'm after.

I have my next scan a week today. I'm looking forward to getting that final bit of reassurance really and know everything is all ok. I'm also SO tempted to find out the sex of the baby which I swore I wouldn't do. But my ds is 3.5yrs and is asking quite a bit so I might for him... Oh what to do?! A week to decide though I guess!

20+2

Zermatt · 12/05/2014 10:43

Huzzah!!! Congrats english so happy for you :)

Happy belated birthday Maunday

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/05/2014 10:44

Thanks Sazzle and Zermatt!! Wishing the next few weeks away now!! Absolutely terrified!

sazzlehopes · 12/05/2014 13:39

I know English...I seem to have spent almost the last 2 years wishing various bits of time away!

chillychicken · 12/05/2014 14:44

Hi all

Ugh. Just…ugh.

I’m suffering with mouth ulcers. Lots of them. There isn’t a part of my mouth that doesn’t hurt right now. I’ve also had a stinking cold since Wednesday. I thought it was starting to improve but yesterday I was knocked for six again and today I feel horrendous. Going to leave work half an hour early today to rest up again.

DH being fabulous. Taking care of me and not moaning about my complete lack of interest in anything or my constant bad mood. He does keep saying “I thought you’d be happy” with a sad look on his face, and I keep explaining that I am happy but I feel rough and it’s difficult to show happiness when you’re so tired. I think he’s beginning to understand.

Boobs are falling out of bra so I really need to order a new one. I’ve lost 3lbs since finding out I was pregnant but feel (and look) half a stone heavier. Constantly freezing – has anyone else had this?

Hair in desperate need of a colour but I’m stupidly scared to go before 12 weeks. Mainly because I will need to get a skin test (my skin is much more sensitive now) and I have mutual friends with my hairdresser and she’s a gossip. I have an appointment booked for Saturday but I’m considering cancelling. Is that daft? DH is worried about the chemicals before 12 weeks too.

I’m going to tell my Dad this week and DSIL at the weekend. I’m 10 weeks on Wednesday so feeling a bit more confident. I don’t have my scan date through yet but I’m hoping it’ll come through this week. Overall, I’m still not going to do a big announcement. I’m now worrying that the anomaly scan will pick something up (yes, I’m worrying about a scan 10 WEEKS AWAY, FFS) so I don’t plan on doing a whole “Woohoo, pregnant person right here” announcement at all.

I guess I just can’t believe I’m lucky enough to actually be pregnant. I’m not a lucky person so I guess I’m just expecting something to go wrong. I need to find my “glass half full” persona, she’s hiding in their somewhere (probably next to my squished bladder)

fancyacupoftea · 12/05/2014 15:22

Sazzle I'm wearing it today and it's magic. It comes with structure padding things but they can be removed. I might never go back to wires I love it so much!
Also, I have no advice about whether you should find out the sex because even though it's ages away I have no idea whether I will - always said I wouldn't but am tempted!

chilli so sorry you're having a crap time of it. You're right, it's hard to show happiness when everyone is so uncertain and you feel rotten. I just hope your poor mouth improves!

I told a colleague today. I just really needed to tell someone. Feel a lot better for doing so!

Tilly28 · 12/05/2014 17:06

Oh my goodness! Today I feel exhausted! Hadn't felt so bad the last couple of weeks but I could have fallen asleep mid teaching today! :-/ eeeek!

Treaclepie19 · 12/05/2014 17:24

poly, hope you're feeling a bit better?

I've been having a sharp pain every time I went to the toilet today in the left side of my groin. Guessing water infection but now it seems to hurt constantly.

Argh.

Littlebear81 · 12/05/2014 18:55

Hi everyone and welcome English!

Had my scan today and there's definitely a baby there with a heartbeat and everything! They've dated me as 9 weeks (I thought 9-10) so I get another scan in three weeks which is even better.

I was really nervous and to me the picture just looks like a blob (a lovely blob though!) but I can't stop looking at it and smiling. It felt a bit surreal and I'm now wishing I asked more questions about what she could see but will try to remember next time.

Keep counting the days those of you waiting for your scan as it's well worth the wait. I can't imagine how good it feels when they are actually in your arms! It seems such a long way off still.

Sorry for the gushing message but felt the need to share. Better stop before I start blubbing!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/05/2014 19:42

Thanks Little - post a pic of your little 9week bean! Glad the scan went well!! Smile

Treaclepie19 · 12/05/2014 19:51

Ohhhh and welcome English!!! How did i miss that?!?

Great news littlebear :)

fancyacupoftea · 12/05/2014 19:52

Littlebear that's lovely! So pleased for you!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/05/2014 19:55
