Starting a new thread for us all....

Tilly hoping everything is okay for you x

Turtle sorry about your cat - that's so sad.

Amz - how exciting about your scan, not long to wait!

7 weeks today and I don't know if I imagined it but felt a bit uncomfortable on my front in bed last night. Uterus is apparently the size of an orange at 7 weeks (all being well) so I suppose it might be pressing a bit by now. Plus my dates could be out and I could actually be anywhere up to 8 weeks!

Got my booking in appt next Thursday at 8 weeks. Is anyone else taking older children with them? I can't imagine my 2 year old DD sitting still for an hour!

No i Won't be taking my nearly 2 year old to the booking appointment, I did take my then 8 month old to a booking appointment and it was really hard work tbh

tilly good luck this morning

Your poor cat Turtle they are part of your family and i know it's heartbreaking when this happens. I had 4 cats up until a year ago when they all went throughout the year in various ways, the last one went at 13, also run over and got a blood clot. With hormones too this is extra upsetting

Morning!

Fingers crossed for you this morning Tilly

Oh Turtle, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat! That really is so sad

6 weeks for me today, and this is about the time sickness started for me last time. Feeling a little nauseaous this morning, but nothing too bad.

DD's back teeth are coming in and suffering with a cold at the same time so DH and I have hardly slept since I got my BFP. It's horrible seeing them in pain, but I just NEED HER TO SLEEP!

Totallylosingit have a look at Amazon. I got a 90 pack of pregnacare for £8.99 - 3 months worth.

Cali your kids post made me giggle.

FrillyHorseyKnickers I've been really gassy, out of each end. Last night my burps sounded like predator. I suppose those are my only symptoms.

Started my meds yesterday after a major scare on Wednesday evening. I had bloods Tuesday morning and they've come back that I'm still showing I'm hyperthyroid. They are concerned for baby so yesterday I spent the day off work, saw my GP and got a plan of action. I'm having a scan tomorrow and seeing the endocrinologist within the next 2 weeks as an urgent referral.

Trying to keep calm, not worry but I'm struggling. I'm just going to keep focused today and hope baby is ok tomorrow. I'll be 7+5 tomorrow at the scan so I should see a heartbeat. I'll be devastated if there isn't one.

Thanks Jaffa my MIL was meant to be taking my DD but can't anymore so I'll have to figure something out.

Turtle so sorry to hear about your cat.
Fluffy I got DH to work from home as I don't think DD could have sat still for the duration, but if you could strap yours in to pram with an ipad #shitparenting then it shouldn't be a problem. It surprised me how long it took, despite having all my history from last time...

Re: healthy eating - Don't stress!
Our babies aren't going to be affected by us eating jam donuts for the first three months. I say this from experience. Although once the sickness wears off then it's good to eat a bit more healthily again.
Just eat whatever you can to get you through the nausea/vomiting and you'll be fine.

fluffy that's annoying. Fil is looking after mine but even if he cancelled I'll have to get someone else I can't take my 4year old he doesn't know I'm pregnant!

I'm out. Started bleeding last night and passed everything this morning, still bleeding quite heavily.

It wasn't really a good time for it but I'm still absolutely gutted.

I'm so sorry Tri, awful news.

Tri I'm so sorry, look after yourself

Hugs tri x

So sorry to hear that tri

So sorry tri xxx

Very sorry to hear that tri. Take care of yourself. It's such a sad time. Some great support to be found on mn should you need it

Tri so sorry

Turtle sorry about your cat

Tilly good luck for your scan

Batfish no idea if bf does change how they feel, I just know that every time I've been pregnant my boobs absolutely kill, even the cycle I miscarried, but this time they aren't hurting at all. To be fair I am not enjoying bf anymore, strong aversion so maybe that is it? Dd (12 mths a few days ago) actually latched on last night and then pushed me away, I think my supply has dropped quite drastically so she may start to wean herself. Feeling quite emotional about it actually.

Although I am not feeling sick (yet) I feel a bit meh and definitely have food fads starting - craving green vegetables and cheese!

Got my early scan tonight- eek! Absolutely terrified, but keeping all my fingers and toes crossed development is all okay and we get to see a little heartbeat Will keep you all posted!

My sickness completely disappeared when I hit the 6 week mark. For the past fortnight it's just VERY sore boobs, tiredness and tummy aches. I feel the tummy aches disappear when I eat though- just what every woman wants! So at the moment I'm carb stacking through the day like I'm preparing for a winter hibernation . Asif I'm not going to get chunky enough!

I'm so sorry Tri

Tiredness has just hit me hard, although that might be because I was up a lot of last night with a poorly toddler. I've had to take the morning off work so will have to make that up at the weekend.

Thanks for the reassurance ginger, you were right and there was a little heartbeat there. Hope everyone else with scams coming up gets good news at their scans

Fab news spring so pleased for you. How did you date? Did they find any cause for the spotting or just one of those things?

I'm so sorry Tri 😓

The date was pretty much as expected, she put it a day later so due on 8 September. And she said the bleeding could be from implantation as there was a little still in the womb. Doesn't make sense to me as surely that was ages ago but I'm just taking away the good news message (and not googling anymore!)

Look after yourself Tri
