Thank you so much for your replies, I keep going to the toilet and there's is nothing really there when I wipe now! Glad everything went good for you x

Can I just ask if anyone else has been eating mayo? Mayo is my fave I have it with most things... I'm eating hellman's, that's ok right? It says pasteurized eggs and egg yolk... Thoughts?

Zogthebiggestdragon · 06/12/2016 20:45

Evening all, hope I can join in? Due right at the end of July (31st) with our second. My daughter is going to be 3 in February so a 3 1/2 year age gap, hopefully it won't be too bad!

I'm feeling quite guilty reading about everyone else's sickness and pains etc, other than incredibly tender tits I've been fine. I found in my last pregnancy that I just couldn't eat as much as usual and that seems to be the same this time. Not as great as people think as I love eating and anyway I really made up for it when she was born!

Anyway, just wanted to reassure people that not everyone gets all the symptoms and it doesn't necessarily mean that your pregnancy is or isn't going well!

Zogthebiggestdragon · 06/12/2016 20:49

And lucibee, I'm the wrong person to ask on this as I ate everything last time, but yeah, shop mayo is totally fine. Things like that are all about you avoiding food poisoning which is, in any case, rare in the UK.

Greedyduck thinking of you

So I'm 8+5 and the tears have started on Sunday! I seem to have spent 15 minutes a day balling since then. Fortunately this is DC1 and therefore no purplexed little ones to confuse, just my daxie who licks my tears and then demands cuddles.

I know pregnancy is supposed to be amazing but it feels more like an invasion at the moment. Also the more I start contemplating life with a child the more scary it seems. I know this might not be the general consensus on the thread but thought it was worth putting it out there, DH is delighted at starting a family and we have told our immediate families who are all super excited too. I just want to interrupt and say hang on I'm scared and also this is going to have the biggest impact on my life and body!

luci it's just home made mayonnaise you need to stay clear of (who even makes their own anyway?!)

mummycaitlin · 06/12/2016 21:59

fifi it's completely understandable how you're feeling, it's literally going to chance your life forever and everything about it is so bloody scary! I found the scary thing with DS1 that actually no one can offer you much advice or tell you how things are going to be because everything is completely different in each pregnancy and with each baby. Just keep talking and don't bottle things in. There are loads of us here with previous experience, just keep asking questions, whatever they are!

whyistherumgone · 06/12/2016 22:20

Greedy I don't know if you'll see this but I just wanted to say I'm
so sorry to hear your news - I hope the wait doesn't drag insanely and will
keep my fingers crossed that it's a dating mix up - could it be that you're not as far along as you thought? I will
be thinking of you X

I haven't had tears but my emotions are still all over the place. When do we start with the glowing and blooming?!

Boggleyboodle · 06/12/2016 22:42

Thinking of those of you having a rough time :(

FiFi had to reply to your comment. I'm expecting dc2. I completely relate to what you say-when I was pregnant with my little boy I was cautiously excited but equally (or maybe more so) scared and quite regretful about losing my 'old life'. I say this though aware that I was (& am)also so fortunate to be in that position. I was happy in my life and was worried about things changing.
Things did change (of course) and having him has been the most challenging and yet the most utterly amazing, miraculous, joyful thing I've ever experienced. I don't miss my old life (well, except for the sleep maybe! And occasionally the wish to have more time to myself. But the positives hugely outweigh these things). I don't know if it's helpful or not to hear that but I thought I'd share in case.

I also feel excited, blessed but anxious about another child. This time it's fears about the impact on my son, whether I could love another child as much, and my ability to cope with 2.
Only 8 weeks though today so trying not to think about all that too much yet.

suntraveller · 06/12/2016 22:48

I found you all again, I was wondering where everyone was :) I got my first appointment with the MW brought forward, so it's next week, yay. I also (anxiously)started an antibiotic today for a UTI, which was only picked up because I had a routine appt with the doctor.

Spindelina · 07/12/2016 07:23

British eggs are back on the OK list now anyway, aren't they? Even raw.

Seahawk80 · 07/12/2016 08:40

Greedyduck I'm so sorry to hear that.

Thinking of you too Mama

DrewOB0 · 07/12/2016 08:40

Morning all!
The lack of sickness and other symptoms is worrying me, I can't help but think there's a problem :(

Seahawk80 · 07/12/2016 08:46

I managed to fake drinking at my Xmas party last night, just had a few sips of wine with the meal and some lime and sodas beforehand. Nausea kicked in on the way home and I was sick in the street - luckily no one was around, I'd have been like 'I'm not drunk - I'm pregnant!!'

BeamReach · 07/12/2016 08:49

Drew- I was the same yesterday.... Nothing. Today tummy cramps and nausea.... A straw poll of my friends (all older mums), says some just got nothing..... Or very mild symptoms.....

DrewOB0 · 07/12/2016 09:03

How far along are you beam? 7+4 here

suntraveller · 07/12/2016 09:19

Drew I'm 7+3 and similar to you with a lack of sickness, but from what I've heard it can go from nothing to Bam, everyone is different. When are you due to meet with the MW?

DrewOB0 · 07/12/2016 09:28

I had my booking in appointment already, bloods etc. She did not seem concerned by lack of sickness. I'm paying for a scan this week as mine is at 13 weeks!

Mummy10121417 · 07/12/2016 09:59

Hi all, just dipping a toe in!

I found out on Monday that baby no.4 is on his/her way - a complete shock as I have PCOS and I'm breastfeeding my 2 year old, it was her birthday I found out on.

Although she was conceived in the same way, a shock 😂 I must be working properly on my own now as my eldest two were clomid babies.

I've told DH he's getting the snip for definite now, stop being a wimp Grin

I think I'm due around the 20th July going on LMP but I have a scan tomorrow so will hopefully get a clearer idea of dates, LMP makes me 8 weeks tomorrow.

BeamReach · 07/12/2016 10:09

Congrats Mummy!

Drew.... I am about 7 weeks

Mummy10121417 · 07/12/2016 11:23

Thank you, and you Smile

With regards to sickness - every pregnancy is different.

With my eldest I had it so bad I ended up going to hospital for iv fluids and anti sickness jabs but it was gone by 14 weeks. Wasn't as bad with my second as I got given cyclizine to take and it was gone by 12 weeks. With my daughter it came and went all the way through but wasn't bad really, and with this one it hit me really bad a week or so ago and I'm on cyclizine now (although when it started I didn't realise I thought I had a bug) I only tested because it's there all through the day, only goes when I'm sleeping.

CatRash · 07/12/2016 13:21

GreedyDuck - I'm very sorry to hear that - my thoughts are with you.

Seahawk - well done on the fake drinking! Unfortunate about the sick episode but at least if anyone had seen you your 'drinking' would have been more believable!

Welcome Mummy!

Drew and Sun - I'm 7+2 and haven't been sick yet either. I've had the odd mild wave of nausea and threw up in my mouth a little bit on Saturday but I was frantically cleaning and had bent over to pick something up...nice. I've found the symptoms I do have like bloating and sore boobs really come and go.

Hello everyone! Just popping in to say I've made a secret Facebook group for Summer 2017 babies.Smile

If any of you would like to join, send me your email address so I can add you (it's a secret group so it's the only way to join)

Chunder · 07/12/2016 14:09

Hello all!

I'm feeling better these past few days, less grumpy and miserable! Still exhausted though. I was going to attempt to do some cleaning on my day off today but all I've done is mess around on my computer. Oops.

I still do not have an appointment with my GP or a midwife or anyone. Goodness knows why my GP couldn't just do a pregnancy test to confirm during my appointment or why the 6 positive tests I did don't matter. I feel quite worried and alone right now, am terrified of getting PND again and a big problem for last time was that no one took my concerns seriously.

I really want to tell someone. I nearly blurted it out at work on Monday. I want to tell my mum but I'm terrified of what she will say. I don't know how I will manage to keep it a secret all throughout Christmas. Well, the shame & guilt will help me keep quiet around family for sure!

Is anyone else trying to keep their pregnancies secret for a while longer? Or have you started telling others?
