April 2017 - anyone out there?

[Alongcomesdc2]

Or is it still too early days yet?

Happy Birthday Scandi! Don't worry, they will understand.

Happy birthday for yesterday Scandi!

Did anyone twig you'd cancelled for a reason?

I've just realised I'm going to have to pull out of my sister-in-law's hen weekend as it'll be the week after I'm due. I am a bridesmaid and I can't really think of a good excuse to tell the other bridesmaids yet - any ideas?!

Do you have to pull out right away Everdene? If you can get away with waiting for the 12 week scan, I would just do it then.

Hella the chief bridesmaid is trying to get people to confirm - she has a young baby herself so I'll try to stall the booking of it by a couple of weeks I think until I've had the scan if I can

Those of you that have been here before.... is it normal to feel normal?! Breasts feel tender like before a period, and have the occasional wave of slight nausea but apart from that I feel normal.... 5+3

Totally normal Monkey, give it 3 more weeks and we'll all be wishing we were symptom free

In that vein is it normal to be throwing up yet? I'm only 5 weeks tomorrow

I'm sure it is drinkyourmilk - we all react differently to the pregnancy hormones. Hope the sickness isn't too bad.

Ivf pregnancy - happy to have all the symptoms thrown at me

Thanks gem. Xx

Drinkyourmilk - another reason for early or more pronounced symptoms is TWINS!!!

Drinkyour. Totally normal. I'm usually throwing up by now

Gem- someone has already mentioned that. Would be id twins as only one egg put back.

Does anyone else have that stretchy/uncomfortable pain but not quite pain?

I don't think I've ever had it this early before

Yes LotsaTuddles. I'm 4+4 and have been having a lot of pressure type pains, feels like my AF is coming, the crampy period pains have gone though. Not sure how long these pressure type pains are expected to last?

Bellyrub, they don't really go completely (well not for me), they change though. As your uterus comes up above your pelvic bone it's not quite so obvious all the time

LotsaTuddles I've had pains and aches that I've never felt before. all feel quite weird.

Yesterday I had horrendous lower back pain - which was unbearable and lasted a couple of minutes, has anyone else had this? It's gone now thankfully but did have me worried at the time

Summerskittles91 I've lower back pain, but I've history of slipped disc so it's not really new for me. Seen GP today, was anxious she would be thinking why was I there but she was so lovely and spent lots of time chatting over any concerns I had re medications, diet etc. As I live in NI I won't see anyone again until approx 10-12 weeks so it was nice to chat with someone about potential issues that may arise.
I contacted my reflexologist to say I was pregnant and should I continue. She said she wasn't surprise as my feet felt pregnant when I seen her two weeks ago! Amazing

Hey can I join. I am 4+4 and really excited! It's our 2nd xx

I'll join! I'm 5+4 with first baby. Very excited but worrying about every little thing as I had a mmc last time.

I don't feel sick but am very bloated and feel quite 'off' food eg even when really hungry I just don't fancy anything.

I feel exactly the same Esker!!

Really hungry, but don't want to eat anything

Yes it's an unusual feeling for me as I'm usually keen to eat everything in sight!

I also have type 1 diabetes so am testing my blood sugar constantly and trying to avoid excessive carbs... with mixed success

My symptoms seem worse this time around. Not sure if it's just because ice forgotten or if it's because I now have 4 kids to run around after. Went away on hols last week and it was hard pretending to feel normal whilst constantly feeling tired and sick. I must remember to ring the midwife tomorrow to arrange booking. It's going to take some juggling to go without the kids as hubby works away, but I don't want the kids to know yet.
Dreading telling my mother :/ not really sure why but don't think she will be very happy for me.

Slight pink discharge. This could be me ducking out

Big hugs tuddles. Lots of people get spotting so not necessarily bad news? How far along are you xxxx
