Trying to start a new thread before we run out of space, haven't done it before so hopefully it works

Is anyone else really struggling to sleep? I keep waking up to go the loo at 2-3am and it is then taking me over an hour to get back to sleep. It's awful.

You and me - I find I'm getting up to go to the loo, and waking up really early then being tired all day. I think it might be another lovely pregnancy symptom!

Marking my place

Went to the doctors yesterday and they've put me at 5+5.

Sickness has reared its ugly head this morning, not fun with a demanding 5 month osold!

I've not gone to work today and I have my toddler home. He's supposed to be at nursery but every time I stand I want to vomit or feel faint. I'm self employed but I don't think the owner of the hair salon that I rent off will be too happy with me. I may have to tell her sooner than I wanted.

8+1

I've got a question for you all. For at least 2 years, my cycles were pretty much exactly 28 days. Then things have been a bit mucked up with chemical pregnancies and mc, and averaged about 31 days. So, do I tell the midwife my cycles were 28, or the 31? Not sure it makes a difference as I am certain we conceived on 5 November which puts me at 5+1, but I'm curious

I told my midwife last time that my cycle was way out but she didn't really care. They go from the dating scan usually anyway.

oh no beautician i hope you're ok. get yourself on the sofa with the tv on and lots of toys for your toddler and have a relaxed day, it sounds like you need it. make sure you eat and drink as much as you can too.

not sure lilygirl but i think you could base it on 28 days. that's what i'd go for

yes that's true, loads of our no of weeks and due dates that we have now will change when we have our 12 week scans anyway.

Quick survey - when did you all get your bfps? My friend is ttc, she took a test when she was 3 days late and it was negative, she's now a week late. Shes usually like clockwork - I so hope she's pregnant xx

Kaytee, I got mine on the day I was due.

Beautician - i hope you feel better soon!

Am 5+3 today. I've been eating very healthy since just before falling pregnant (lots of fruit/veg, no sugar, proteins with every meal, a litre of water a day, and snacks of walnuts, almonds, and apricots)... But now I'm so very bloated! Had to break out the fat pants today. Any debloating tricks ladies?

Hi ladies- been so busy with work not managed to keep up on here. Have been signed of work for two weeks- actually only taking two days. A decision I am already regretting. Went to the Dr on Tursday- who found ketones (?) in my urine. Not sure what that means to be honest! And 7 + 3 today and have had to change midwives due to the one I was refered to, being attached to my place of work. I seriously feel like I am failing at this pregnancy lark!

I got my BFP really early Kaytee - it was only 10dpo, so about 5 days before my period was due. I was getting a positive on a digital test two days before I was due.

Got my booking in appt booked for the 17th Dec.

The receptionist told me I'm going to have a tough time with two babies so close in age, as if I wasn't full aware of that. Starting to get fed up of the comments now.

To be honest- will all the hormones etc. Comments like that, would make me fuming!

Although I have a friend, who I suspect is jealous of my pregnancy, sending me updates on all the poor ladies she knows that have had a miscarriage. Am I alone in thinking that this is an odd thing to say to a first time pregnant lady?

Thank you Sonia & Pulpi
I've just eaten scrambled egg and spaghetti hoops( no bread) as I feel I need something in my tummy.

Stink what's the age gap. I have 17 months between my first two and I've always loved it.

This time around I found out at 5+2 it was a very dark line but i hadn't even thought to test earlier (happy surprise)

With DD i found out super early using a first response which was about 9DPO so about 6 days before period due.

To add another experience though my period before BFP was 6 days late which was unusual and tests kept saying negative, period came the next day.

pregasaurus that is a really off thing to do. I can't fathom why she would do that?

beaut There will be 13 months between them, providing this LO doesn't make an early appearance!

Morning all

Afternoon I should say!

I've had some more bleeding. Quite dark brown. Not sure what to do. Phone EPU or monitor it? I had this between 5-6 weeks also and had a scan a week ago today. They had put it down to implantation bleeding but did say it should settle. Not had any since Monday so thought it was settling down :(

I don't really want to ask for any more time off work as I took time out last week twice to go to EPU. I don't want to tell work yet. Literally half an hour ago my manager asked if I had eaten and I said I felt a bit sick, and she said oh is there any news! I immediately replied no. She has asked me a few times over the last couple of months.

6+4

Mel, if it's not to much bleeding, I would phone EPU for some advice. Hope your ok. x

I'm just wondering if a scan would be useful at 6+5, do you think they could pick
Up a heartbeat on an abdominal ultrasound ?

Hi,
New here, first time posting. I'm due July 2016 too, currently 8 (or 9) weeks, not really sure until we have dating scan. Can't wait to hear a heartbeat and know everything's ok.
It's exciting but nerve wracking too!

I don't want to waste EPU time
Either, there wasn't that much blood but it looked like a clot had passed when I got up but there was no pain?

Stinkilinky- I'm really not sure either. Especially because she had one, before her son was born. Six years ago- so by no means a life time. I was a bit shocked and didn't reply to the message as I had no idea what to say!
I wanted to say, erm- your poor friend probably wouldn't want you telling random people. Also, thank you for bringing the worry to the forefront of my mind!

Melvali- I wouldn't worry about wasting time. I would go if I felt I needed support. Hope you are ok.
