Part 2 of our bus journey.....

motherto4 you have to do what is right for you. It's hard but don't feel any pressure from anyone else, it's just a decision for you and your partner, but mainly you as it's your body. It's so hard but remember that whatever decision you make will have been the right one...no regrets either way. Sending hugs and support

Hi still here, my EDD is 12/4 I think still waiting for booking in appt!

Hello!

My EDD is 20th April.

Went to a wedding this weekend, and our group of friends all guessed within about 3 hours (apparently me without a glass of wine and a well done steak was all the tip-off they needed!)

But who lied about morning sickness? I feel sick ALL DAY!

Catsofa that's great news! Be sure to let us know what happens!!

Ladynovember you must have needed it! Work is boring anyway but hopefully no one noticed! You could always be ready with the excuse of rough sleepless night!

My internet pal has just informed me she went for her 12 weeks scan yesterday and they couldn't find anything, the sac was empty! I'm am completely gutted for herand this makes me so nervous and anxious to get an early scan just so I know little sesame's in there! Got my GP appt tonight so I will ask him about it all, still quite nervous and sorry if I've scared anyone... I just had to share as I am completely gutted for her!

I'm sending Sticky baby dust all round! XxxxX

Mswibble and luna, I have the occasional glass too, not that anyone would admit to it in RL I think a lot of people do!

Oh cookie I'm so sorry for your friend.

I feel dreadful today. We went to the zoo yesterday and it was fun but completely exhausting. I think it's the tiredness that's making me feel so ill today. DD and I are still in bed and plan to stay here for as long as she'll let me.

Hello! Can I join this bus please? I got my BFP on Friday and it's just starting to sink in, (been lurking for a few days).

I am so very tired, being very picky about what I want to eat, and starting to feel vaguely nauseous. My parents are coming to stay over the weekend and I'm a bit nervous about hiding it from them - my mum seems to have a canny ability of just knowing things. May need industrial amounts of concealer and to hide the decaf tea at the back of the cupboard.

I can't find the most recent stats list, but mine are:

JaneyTea, 33, DC#1, EDD 29th April

CareBear I always feel worse when I'm tired as well. Which means the insomnia I'm having at the moment is not welcome at all! Wonder if work will notice if I sneak off home and go back to bed...

Cookie how awful for your friend to have a missed miscarriage. That really is my worst nightmare and I can't imagine how disappointed she must feel.

Okay so tiredness may have kicked in or it may be this cold. Had to drag myself out of bed this morn and now I'm on the bus wanting a snooze.

Started spotting again this morning Just light brown when I wiped but it's enough to take me from feeling happy and excited to terrified everything is going to go wrong. I've got my early scan on Friday which doesn't seem that far away but will now feel like months to wait. Really hope it will just stop today.

cookie your poor friend. How very very sad. A missed miscarriage really is the pits. After my scan in June at 10 weeks where the little bean's hb had stopped, I find it so hard to trust my body. I had such strong nausea, positive pg tests, a good early scan at 6 weeks and I just felt like I'd been completely cheated by my own body. Now at 5+4 wit this pregnancy I don't have any nausea or sore bb's and so that's making me worry. I really can't win!

Sorry, I don't mean to worry anyone with my comments above. Having a missed miscarriage is quite rare and I was just unfortunately in that tiny percentage last time.

Oh banana I'm sorry about your spotting. Try not to worry. Brown isn't too much to worry about. Just try to ignore it as much as possible until your scan on Friday unless it turns red and watery and is accompanied by cramps. Stay positive, spotting is super common in early pregnancy

There's just so much to worry about! I don't know if it's because I'm feeling so tired and sick but I feel quite down today. I wish there's was a way of knowing for sure if this pregnancy is going to work out. Feeling so negative and I just can't shake it off.

I havent had a chance to post much, but so sorry for everyone going through worrying times. It must be so hard. Sending positive thoughts!

We still havent told anyone, we are about six weeks just now. But today im being forced to commit to a foreign trip I was going on next may but now obvs cant as its two weeks after edd! I think im gonna have to tell the organiser today as I dont want to mess everyone elses plan up but also really wary of tempting fate with saying I cant do it that far in advance. Not had any scan or booking in appts yet so apart from no spotting ive no idea if things are progressing ok! Gah!!

Thanks OneDay, trying not to stress too much but I'm so scared of something going wrong. It's hard to believe anyone ever has a healthy baby with all the problems that can occur! It all looks so easy from the outside.

Care tiredness and feeling rotten is defo going to make it harder to feel upbeat and relaxed about the process. But our feelings are not necessarily a true reflection of how things are or how the pregnancy will go - even if they shout and tell us they are important truths! Maybe do something nice to nurture yourself, even if it's just curling up with a cup of hot chocolate and a book, putting on music you find soothing or encouraging, doing a gentle easy win task at work or home Much easier to say than to do I know!

Banana I'm so sorry for you and me both about this dratted spotting/brown CM. Work have had a crap deal out of me this am as I've done a lot of reading of "how long did your brown cm last" threads online. Some people had successful pregnancies and it lasted from a couple of wipes to a couple of days to a number of weeks! Some had it consistently and even some red blood or clots and still had a baby at the end of it. Some did sadly end in miscarriage. I'm clinging onto hope that we will see a sticky bean at our scan on Friday at 8:10 (or thereabouts). What time is your scan? I'll be thinking of you and praying for us both (if that's okay!) Hope you can also find some comfort and distraction between now and then. I'll be trying to take my own advice and possibly attempt to walk through the antenatal dept at work tomorrow with my eyes shut to avoid seeing all those lovely bumps that are safely out of the dratted first trimester.

I feel like I'm holding onto hope my fingernails at time and

Whoops! It turned into an essay - sorry about that - with a last sentence that was meant to be in the middle #notwithittoday

I was also googling on the commute this morning and saw lots of encouraging stories, but also sad ones. My scan is late morning, wish I had it first thing! Will be thinking of you and hoping for good news for us both.

Thanks guys. OneDay we are at the same stage I think, I'm 5+4 today too with an EDD 26th April I think! Really want to get an early scan so I know everything is ok so far and don't mind paying the extra, we are going abroad in 4 weeks so want to know everything is ok by then so I won't be worrying as much! X

Thank you phryn. DD is being fab today so I am getting a bit of rest at least.

I was just thinking about the thread I was on when I pregnant at the beginning of the year. By this point in that thread we were all, already talking about what type of nappies to use and things like that. I think we are definitely a more worried bunch!

Yeah I totally agree carebear! I am definitely so cautious and worried about this pregnancy, only because it's my first and I am a naturally worried person, I am not planning to use the 'baby' word at least until the 12 week scan! i am always thinking that when things are going good, something bad will happen xxx

We are all very aware of what could go wrong, I catch myself every time I start thinking how pregnant I'll be at different events and think.. hopefully. It's such a scary thing! Wish I was less informed about the risks, I might relax more!

9 weeks today - hurray!! perhaps I only have 3 weeks of feeling dreadful left...? Please let it be so...

phyrn and banana I hope your scans go well tomorrow and that you are able to relax a bit as a result.

I've developed a liking of hot chocolate. Sooo calming and comforting. In my last pregnancy, I tried lots of different types and settled on Thorntons as the best. Yum yum!

Fx for your scans phryn and banana

I'm drinking my body weight in hot chocolate too roast I've never liked it before!

I'm feeling quite down and negative too CareBear I can't shake it and keep thinking I will not end up with a baby. I feel so flat. It's horrible!

My nausea has hit with a vengeance and I can't sleep so am so tired.

So I'm very very grumpy I'm 6+ 4, scan is one week today! I'm so anxious I just want to know one way or another.

So I was just a bit silly and went and bought a Clearblue digi to see if it had gone up to 3+ weeks, I reckon I'm 5+3 today and got a 2-3 week result a week ago. It still says 2-3 so panicked but having googled have found that many people don't get a 3+ result until they are over 6 weeks gone. So it hasn't reassured me at all and has made me more stressed possibly.
