I'm 4+ 3 I think - definitely feeling a bit queasy but nothing I would even notice of I didn't know I was pg.

Self refer to mw here too, I'm trying to hold out, but I just want to call her and get my first appointment in the calendar!

LotsaTuddles · 26/07/2016 13:22

Ha gemsbok, I'm exactly the same. Want to call to get organised

drinkyourmilk · 26/07/2016 17:22

Thanks ladies, seems you can bookman appointment as early as you like, and booking in seems to be 8-10 weeks. Im going to hold out till after my 7 week scan at the clinic I think, then will give them a call. It's self referral here too, and they are based at the hospital.

RebeccaCloud9 · 26/07/2016 17:56

Ah, I'm the same, on the look out for symptoms. However, I hated just about every single one of my symptoms last time, so in that sense, I'm dreading them! I'm eating some of my gave chocs at the mo because last time I completely went off chocolate for the whole pregnancy!

Kimphoenix · 26/07/2016 18:50

I'm roughly 5+3, self refferal here to, I'm booked in for 12th august with midwife.

Mummymulb16 · 26/07/2016 19:33

For all the ladies that feel now before it starts get done things around the house which you know you won't be able to do so! I just cleaned the fridge out , gonna clean skirting boards at the weekend and des cake the kettle and iron just a few things I might not get round to doing in a few weeks of the nausea hits! Oh and cook some food and freeze if I have time Smile

Flowers5 · 26/07/2016 19:41

Ovia is showing that I am 4+5, my receptionist didn't even let me see a doctor, just asked me to fill out a form to fax over to the midwives. I've been watching the post constantly Hmm

LotsaTuddles · 27/07/2016 05:59

Yeah. Mine is like that flowers. You go in fill a form and they send it off, then midwife sends you a letter.

Got my glaring bfp this morning, going to try to refrain from buying anymore. I have one cheapie left that I'll try not to do, and will get a digital one next week - more for dh than me Grin he likes to see it in writing

April 2017 - anyone out there?
drinkyourmilk · 27/07/2016 06:17

Congratulations lotsa! Flowers

summerskittles91 · 27/07/2016 10:17

Lotsa - It feels so good to such a dark line :)

I have one digital left too.. I got 1-2 weeks at 12dpo. Going to wait a bit and hope i get the 3+. DH has warned me not to test anymore though.

ScandiManny · 27/07/2016 11:11

Great line there Lotsa

I've lost count of the number of hpt's ive got through this month Blush I only have 3 left now so the madness should be over soon! Grin

This was this mornings line! Smile

Has anyone got any tips for the tiredness? I can't seem to do anything. Working full time and all I want to do is sleep 24/7 Hmm

Live with extended family so have 2 nieces (3yo and 5 months) so tend to look after/play with them after work too.

drinkyourmilk · 27/07/2016 15:30

I'm just enjoying the fact that if I'm tired, the hormones are coming as they should. I've been going to bed earlier, and my dh has been chief cook and bottle washer since it kicked in.

gemsbok · 27/07/2016 15:36

I find lots of snacking helps - I'm sat at my desk working my way through some dried apple rings. It would normally be chocolate, but I'm so paranoid about showing too early I'm trying to be healthy!! (We won't mention the bounty)

drinkyourmilk · 27/07/2016 16:01

Mmmmm bounty! Haven't had one for ages. I like them straight from the fridge.

summerskittles91 · 27/07/2016 16:50

Oh I could do with a bounty right now.
We have krispy kremes at home. Think one will do nicely with tea when I get home. I was so close to having one for breakfast this am Blush

Celen · 27/07/2016 19:25

Hey ladies, tentatively stepping on the bus & hoping that I don't have to get off again!

Been trying 2 years and during that time had 2 mcs (@5 wks) and an mmc (@11 wks, baby died around 8-9 wks) so feeling very very cautious...lines have got dark so a good starting off sign but I don't take anything for granted!

Due 2 April Smile

Mummymulb16 · 27/07/2016 19:33

Has anybody gone off any foods yet? Or had weird cravings I'm craving for fish and chips

MonkeyArms · 27/07/2016 19:54

Everything crossed for you celen. I'm so sorry that you have been through such a tough time. Xx

Flowers5 · 27/07/2016 20:20

Congratulations to all of those dark lines Grin
I've also found lots of little snacks helps with the tiredness, lots of fruit for the sugars, a nice early night helps too though

Celen · 27/07/2016 21:08

Thanks MonkeyArms for your kind thoughts Smile

SussexNadia · 27/07/2016 21:39

Hi ladies, this is my first post!
But I would love to join and talk to people going through the same stages as me.
It's my first pregnancy and due date from ovia is around 29th March, but I suspect will be in April.
It's been 1.5 weeks since I found out and I've only just stopped checking if my period has arrived everytime I go to the toilet! X

LotsaTuddles · 27/07/2016 22:42

I can't find anything that helps with the tiredness, but, I do know that being a SAHM with an 18 month old and a non day time sleeping nearly 3 year old doesn't Shock

smiles01 · 27/07/2016 23:33

I'm around 5 weeks. Due end of March/ beginning of April.

A nauseous feeling is bringing to rest its head when I'm hungry. And ive had the most emotional day ever today, basically cried constantly.

I've had 4 previous miscarriages so counting down the days to 7 weeks and will the. Hopefully have an esrly scan!

Bellatrixandstrange · 28/07/2016 06:12

Hi, please can I join! I just found out and only me a dp know! I just want to tell ppl! It's earlier than we were planning, we're getting married in October!
