Thread #3 - TTC#1 Grads thread. No TMI is too much, no question too stupid!

[Runner05]

Come one, come all it's the TTC#1 Grads thread! Everyone welcome so long as you're not put off by graphic descriptions of the lunch we couldn't keep down or the weird pregnancy symptoms we just have to share.

Our lovely ladies now span many stages of upduffedness from "woohoo BFP, now let me pee on 58 more sticks just to be sure" to "Oh my god, why don't they warn you what morning sickness is really like?" To" I need to pee 132 times a day but look at my cute scan photo!"

if you're looking for advice, banter and support, along with the occasional scan photo or rant, you are definitely in the right place.

Great idea Runner. I'm due August 13th.

Hi Starky!! Hope you're well. Fx for you here too.

Argh! Just lost an entire message and list. Bums!!! Here we go again...

Let me know if I've been blind and missed anyone

Isn't it strange to think that there's only going to be 2 and a half months between all of us!

Hi stark!!!! Hope you are well and we see you here soon, I often glance over at our old thread to see how you're doing.

Today ladies - I had my hand on baby area and I swear I felt a mini kick! I'm 14wks tomorrow. It's too early right, it's prob just wind??

X

Think i will be oct 30th

Shelb yep, I think it's too early for perceptible kicks at the moment. You might feel the soft bubbly sensation inside but I think full on kicks don't start for another 5 weeks or more...

I really have over done it today cleaning out my mothers flat and now I feel tired and rubbish. I also ate way too much at dinner so I'm bloated and gassy and at the moment I constantly feel dehydrated. Think it's an early night for me!

Hi everyone

Can I come and join you guys? I've been having faint positives since Wednesday after having a chemical last cycle. But got my definite bfp yesterday!

Woo hoo, welcome Bellini!

Welcome Bellini!! Congrats x

So at 4 weeks exactly I've got everything crossed, however bizarrely I have a gut feeling that everything is going to be okay. Strange?!

Anyone else had a private scan around 7 weeks? Think I will need this as some reassurance although I know it doesn't provide any guarantees.

Congrats Bellini. I had one at 7 +4.

Awesome Runner! I'm due 14-Oct according to LMP but I've got a viability scan tomorrow that should give me a more accurate date but either way it should be October!

Ooh, thanks Runner - going by LMP I should be due Oct 10th.

Hi Bellini - so pleased to see you back x

Welcome back Bellini! Congratulations

I'm due 1st October please runner! :)

Congrats bellini - I'm going for a scan tomorrow at 7+3. I've got history of mc so the midwife said to go to my GP to get a referral to the EPU for an early scan. I got impatient though as it's hard to get a GP appointment unless it's an emergency and even then I still have to wait for an EPU appointment - in the end I booked in a private scan as I've been spotting on and off for 4 days now :(

Yay Bellini welcome back!!

Hi starky! Hope to see you over here permanently soon.

yay bellini I'm so pleased for you! I have been finding the first couple of weeks a really worrying time so have booked at early scan. Decided to hold out until 8+3. Reading how you're feeling positive has helped me feel positive too this morning!

lillian good luck for your scan tomorrow. I hope it's reassuring and lovely.

Hi Bellini!

Hi everyone. X

Good luck today Lillian!

Congrats Bellini what's your edd so that I can add you to the list?

How's everyone feeling today? I'm feeling rough as old boots! I started clearing out my mums apartment yesterday and really over did it. Could have done with staying in bed this morning but never mind.
I think OH is starting to worry about how things will be after the baby's born now. He's started worrying about money even though I can demonstrate that we will have plenty and he's worried that because I've been so I'll during pregnancy I'll also get every symptom going after the baby's born. I'm trying to be reassuring but it's difficult because obviously this is my first so I have no idea how I'll cope or what it will be like.

Looks like we'll have a packed October!!!

Congrats and welcome Bellini x

Hey everyone! Had a jam packed weekend! How is everyone feeling?

runner I'm due 8th of October (subject to change at the next scan lol!)

Hello everyone! Hoping I could join please? I'm not a grad of anything but have been lurking for a few days and you all seem lovely . I was on the September 2016 babies thread but lots of ladies there are expecting DC2 or 3 so lots of chat I couldn't relate to about preparing their older children.

Anyway, a bit about me - I'm 33, live in London although a northerner originally (and at heart!), I'm 11+6 with a little sprout.

Haven't had the easiest time of it so far - had lots of brown spotting early on so had a couple of scans at EPU but all was ok thankfully. I had my 12 week scan last week but was only measuring 11+1 so was a day too small to do the nuchal measurements so booked in for repeat scan this Wednesday. It all looked good last week though and was completely amazing to see the little thing wriggling away! Don't mind at all about going again

Anyway, sorry for the essay but hopefully I can get to know you all better. runner - my EDD for the amazing master list is 14 September.

lillian - huge fx for your scan. If it helps at all I spotted for around 3 weeks off and on. Mainly brown but some red too and everything was fine with me, it all stopped around 9 weeks. It's so scary though xx

Welcome soda,
Glad to hear everything is ok with your little sprout. I had quite a bit of brown spotting over the weekend and earliest I can be scanned is Wednesday so seems a lifetime away. I just want to know everything is ok, thank you for sharing though. Sure it'll keep myself and Lilian positive.

In other news I'm having a day in bed as prescribed by the midwife who said I shouldn't do anything and just to rest before my scan. I've just had a revelation as I had some hot water and lemon, I would highly recommend if you are feeling a bit crappy when you wake up. Don't know if hot water and lemon is old news though you may have all been on it for weeks haha!

Welcome Soda of course you can join in, the more the merrier lots of us have had it a bit rubbish so far so you're in good company
