January 2016 thread #2......sick bags at the ready!

[brickiemum2]

New thread for us all

GP was really kind. Said I can see the midwife early so ill be seeing her 3 weeks today all being well. Eek!

Oh my goodness took me ages to catch up!!

Updates to my stats ... EDD 9th jan

Hope everyone is ok .... Just checking in whilst in the loo at work trying not to vom!!!

Itchy nipples this morning .... Driving me insane and I have a wierd pain in my armpit ... Anyone else!?

Early scan on Saturday ... Can't wait x

wlrg I'm sure I have read pregnancy tests get less reliable after 5 weeks or so. Could you get bloods done at the GP?

Parsnip - I had seen the gp and she said that the local epu are the experts and that they will do all the relevant checks at my appointment with them so I guess its just a waiting game! I'm not really sure I can book another appointment purely over the clear blue result so I think I'll just try and wait it out as its only 7 days until my appt with the epu

Its strange I swing between being really excited and optimistic to full on convinced I'm going to miscarry I'm pretty much (other than today and Friday) working straight through until scan day so hopefully I won't have much thinking time!

Other than one sudden rush of nausea where I actually thought I may vom on the living room floor...and The cat And sore nipples (only when prodded) I don't feel too bad

And yeah the actually leaflet that comes with the cb test says its probably innacurate at over 5-6 weeks clutching at straws seems to work at the moment

I also veer between happy and excited and utterly convinced miscarriage is a certainty rather than a less likely possibility. I suspect we all do!

Hope everything will be fine for you, I'm sure it will :)

Thanks parsnip your right its must be completely normal for most of us, especially when its wanted so much

Hopefully we will all be here in January welcoming the steady stream of new arrivals!

Someone (sorry can't find username) was saying that they have been laid up for the last ten days with severe morning sickness. Oh my god. I can't even imagine how absolutely horrific that must be. So far I've only had one bout of actual morning sickness, as it has filled me with eternal respect and huge amounts of pity for anyone going through it on an actual daily basis.

I'm on a career break at the moment, and frankly, I have no fucking idea how people work through the first few months of pregnancy. Heroes.

All I've eaten so far today are dry crackers, lol.

For all those very worried despite no previous mc, I spent the first few weeks terrified about mc, but now (6+4) I just don't think about it. Maybe I should be more worried!! It's just so exhausting living in a constant state of panic like that.

I worry about MC, but my theory is that there's nothing you can do to prevent it or stop it once it starts (as long as you follow guidelines etc) so it's out of your hands.

I'm not one for believing in fate, but I do try to only worry about things I have control over.

When I had my mc in Feb, I knew it was coming after doing a digi test and getting 'not pregnant'. I'm going to resist the urge to retest. It didn't help me knowing what was going to happen- it just left me destroyed waiting for the inevitable.

I'm the same gouda. I just don't think about it anymore - maybe it's the hormones chilling us out? I'm 7 weeks but previously miscarried at about 9ish weeks so have no real reason to be so relaxed.

managed some mushroom quiche this evening for dinner after almost vomming when cooking it. Win. Need to find some proper strong mints.

usernamefail ... 4 - 40 weeks of illness!?!?!!

I'm less worried over MC too .... Everything just feels better!! My early scan is tonorrow so hopefully all is well!!

I think I just worry as my tests don't seem to be getting darker. They're not getting lighter, and they're obviois BFPs rather than squinters, but everything I've read says they should be getting darker.

I read somewhere obscure that darkness is irrelevant to the state of the pregnancy!! X

good luck for tomo mrsfaz!

Try leaving it another week before testing parsnip - I think you will find a definite increase.

Yeah I think I've read that too, plus people saying you only need to worry if they're getting noticeably fainter and then go BFN, which mine definitely aren't, even with dilute wee.

Taking a leaf from everyone else's book and relaxing a bit now just going to forget about it until the scan

Good for you wlrg, wish I could do likewise :) I don't think the amount of anxiety I'm feeling is healthy or normal!

Can i join in? i was on the last one but got missed off the stats....

My BFP was on friday, 15th nad my Dye date for #1 is 14 January.... booking app is 5 June

oh gawd... thats bad spelling, thats what happens when leaning over your lunch at work

Afternoon all. I am a happy kep today as I got a 3+ weeks on a CB digi.... I didn't get one last time round, even though I was further along. So it feels like a minor victory I know it doesn't mean anything really, just today that my hormones are doing OK, but I'm still really relieved.

Symptom wise I've still got painful boobs, and massively itchy nipples today, which is a bit inconvenient being at work! Getting nausea first thing in morning, which passes, but then last night I felt really sick after dinner, and as starving as if I hadn't eaten. And have a raging thirst today but that may be because I slept with my house wide open last night. Also need a nap after lunch, so going to try and leave work early today to have a sleep before dinner.

I am trying to relax about everything, but a bit tricky with living with in-laws, buying a house, trying to get son into secondary school on appeal, massively important project at work. Ironically the thing making me chill is the thought of little Bean.... everything else seems insignificant Plus off on hols on Friday

That's good news kep :)

Anyone else get really knackered after they eat?

hi pars i get knackered whilst i eat lol! i also feel sick after i've eaten as well though the burping appears to hav calmed down....

i must confess that i did a 3rd test yesterday after a day of very little symptoms other than feeling freezing cold..... so in theory i now have my 3rd BFP lol

I am now 5+6 today so i can say 6 wk tomorrow - wooohooo!

DH has already started referring to my muffin top (defo not baby bloat) as Jellybean..... i think he is more excited than me

Sleepydragon that made me smile .... My DH is most DEFINATELY VERY VERY excited x

mrsfazruns - nice feeling isn't it, i love him being so excited!! x

parsnip me too! I feel like I need to lie down and have a sleep now I've had lunch, and am feeling decidedly sicky too today. Have made a peppermint tea to try to make me feel better... really don't want to vom!
