Thread #2 for those due next May!

Link to thread #1

Mamushka - snap! I had the flu jab on Saturday and have been feeling cold and generally rough ever since. Really hoping it passes soon, as hubby is working lates this week so have to do drop offs & pick ups and am feeling shattered.

7 weeks today and all day nausea. It's not nice. Still shivering all the time but I'm hypothyroid so I'll put it down to that. I can't imagine another 5 weeks of keeping this secret!

Anyone else completely wiped out? I've spent all day on the sofa for over a week.

fox i am ridiculously tired..could absolutely spend all day in bed no problems.

My booking appointment was cancelled last minute today as the midwife was doing a homebirth. I was looking forward to it as a milestone but have to be more patient (great!) but happy that another woman is giving birth at the moment and at home too!

Loving all the scan pics...not much more than a month and we'll all be onto the second trimester and a third of the way there! Positive thinking instead of worrying today

Moving around makes me retch but I'm just grateful that I can eat now. Don't know whether to ride it out or see the doctor again.

Didn't come back yesterday as scan didn't go so well. There was a sac and yolk measuring 6 weeks but nothing else. So either I'm only 6 weeks, or its not viable. I have to go back next Friday. There's no way I can only be 6 weeks ( I should be 8) - that would mean I got I got my bfp and symptoms at 3 weeks which is ridiculous. Having a really tough time dealing with this.

I'm so sorry Charlie. Fingers crossed for better news for you next week - how stressful for you to be in limbo like that.

Sorry charlie that's rubbish news.

What a rubbish wait. It's no consolation but I've been there and no how awful the waiting is. Hope you've got your feet up tonight and being well looked after.

Know sorry, no "no"!

Thanks Imogen and sonnet. It's so hard. I feel like I need to start accepting that it's over, but there's that tiny bit of hope there.

Very sorry to hear that Charlie. Take care of yourself.

Also wiped out. So exhausted, I'm nearly 10 weeks so I know it will pass soon. Had hospital antenatal clinic today, which was fine.

Hope everyone else is well. Nice to have some company these early sicky days!

So sorry Charlie. Be kind to yourself.

Completely wiped out here too. Finding it very hard running round after a toddler in this state. We are playing lots of games which involve me sitting down and her 'helping' by fetching various toys.

So sorry to hear that Charlie. Huge hugs and will be thinking of you x

Happy birthday ghost cannot imagine a better birthday gift than seeing your baby, congratulations!

Jonsnow congrats to you also.
sauvignon good to have a bump buddy with similar issues, they have increased my medication, so hopefully it will be OK.

So sorry Charlie hoping for you that dates are wrong or its a slow grower and next scan will show development, so stressful, sending hugs

Also thinking of you Charlie, waiting for the next scan isn't easy but I hope it can give you some positive news.

I'm still yet to get proper nausea (8 weeks today) but am very stressed at work and trying not to let it get to me as I can't imagine that's too good at this stage. I'm also paranoid someone will see my tiny bump and ask the question so I keep saying I feel so bloated before they can ask!

charlie I'm so so sorry to hear that. No wonder you're finding it difficult honey, it is very difficult. Just hold on, you can get through it and let's keep our fingers crossed for a positive outcome

Oh no so sorry to hear that charlie.

So sorry Charlie. There is hope, as you say; I got my bfp at 3 weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

Glad your friend understood, sonnet

Hope all those waiting on scans get good news - it's such a horrible limbo. I daren't have an early scan and I know if I make it to 12 weeks I'll probably be crying before I even go in. My only experience of a scan is when I had my mmc and there was no heartbeat - I will never forget that moment so not sure how I'm going to get through this ? My DP will be with me and he's very calm so I'm hoping he'll just take control and shepherd me in ?
8 weeks today - was slightly worried that boobs aren't as sore and keep staring at them to see if they've shrunk but then awful retching as I got off the train this morning and on arrival at work so guess it's all still ticking along ?
Could quite happily go back home and climb into bed for a few more hours !!!

Keeping fx for you Charlie, hoping scan brings good news next week.

I think I'll be the same as you Adventure, crying before I go in. DH is also calm, so that's good. Hopefully you've got your date through for your scan? 8 weeks already, hopefully next 4 weeks fly by. My scan date is in 5 weeks. Feels like forever!

Hi July yes I've got my date through for first week of November. I just don't trust my body to let me know if something is wrong. Last time it just carried on as normal clinging on to the last possible moment.

charlie,hoping for a positive outcome.

Missed the new thread... I am so behind the times...

Morning ladies, just checking in as I've been MIA for a little while.

Well, I ended up at the doctors last week as I thought I had flu. Although only a little sniffly, I had that full body ache and inability to get upstairs for a wee or into the kitchen for a drink without getting totally out of breath and light headed. She said I'm just pregnant, though, and needed to rest. So I took the week off and although I'm making it to the office every other day at the minute, I'm still feeling crap and getting out of breath really easily. Fortunately, I have my booking appointment tomorrow, so I assume they will check me over for various issues and sort me out accordingly.

I'd been so unwell and unable to get to work (I have a 1.5-2-hour commute) that we figured I was going to have to fess up to work, so we went for a cheeky private scan last week as I didn't want to tell them until we'd seen things were progressing as expected. Aside from almost wetting myself (I needed to wee on an overly frequent basis before I got pregnant) as I'd dutifully drunk my water and they were running late, it was awesome! Guess there really is something in there!

Hope you're all doing ok xxx
