Starting a new thread

calimommy does sound really strange to be honest most people would ask how is it going!! Even if their not really interested... maybe she does want another child but just hasn't said anything and is jealous... that's the only thing I can think of! Another than that he actions are a little unusual 🤔

I'm 10+3 and my symptoms seem to be slowing down.. boobs feels nearly normal and the nausea has gone! To be honest I only really had it when travelling on public transport or when I hadn't eaten for long periods of time.. any thoughts 😊

Amz same here, boobs aren't sore and nausea reduced right down this week although currently on the train feeling completely sick! Had no breakfast though so that could be a reason 10+7

Cali that is weird, but maybe your friend isn't sure whether to ask any questions or not or whether you might want to talk about it.

I would say that she has some fertility issues and was caught off guard by your news and that's the best she could muster. Particularly with the 'bringing you down bit' of oh yeah really early... reassuring herself.

Hooray I found the new thread. Cali that is odd. Maybe as suggested above she is having some fertility issues or difficulties around having another child. Or she's suffered miscarriages early on herself. Who knows. Don't let it dampen your excitement though!
I'm 11+3 according to LMP date today and finally had my booking in appointment yesterday. Stomach is hurting today though and I'm feeling a bit (disproportionately) worried about it. Despite seeing all ok at a 9 week scan. Doesn't help that I have a croaky sore throats and a big presentation to give today. Moan, groan, woe is me Hope all of you ladies have good Fridays!

Amz my boobs stopped hurting last week around 10 weeks. I now just get stabbing pains in the once in awhile. Iv read up and it says symptoms start to slow down around this time.

cali may be she doesn't know what to say, like Fluffy mil didn't seem happy at all and this will be her first grandchild - she just said okay, your very early. That was it - Iv seen her a good few times since and she doesn't mention it at all.
I also had to tell someone in work and they just said we will talk about it in another few months
But again she could be having fertility issues - its a hard one.

Hope everyone has a lovely friday!

cali I've had a similar experience. Some of my closest girls who I expected to be over the moon (especially as they knew we were trying) seemed more deflated and kind of brushed it off. Maybe concerned things will change with your friendship?

I always think you get one of three reactions, the 'I'm actually truely happy for you and this is amazing news'; the 'I'm happy for you but I'm not going overboard as things are going too well with your life so you don't deserve any additional attention' or the 'Oh did you know in my past life I was a midwife so I can tell you EVERYTHING you need to know even though I've never had children and have no medical experience' 😂🙈 Haha!

Hello all. Checking in! 12 week scan on 21st so counting down now! It seems like ages ago since I got my bfp on Christmas day!

Snap littlepooch I am 21st too. I don't feel time is going as slowly as it was from 5-8ish weeks, that was loooonnng!! Less than 2 weeks xx

Ladies, as someone on here pointed out to me a while away, let's not wish away our pregnancies (unless you are super sick). She said once you get to 12 weeks, then it is about getting to 20 weeks, then 37 etc...always on edge hurrying time along!

I am enjoying the fact it is me and dh little secret. But yes I am also still desperate to know that there is a baby cooking along in there, especially given my lack of symptoms.

You're right white it's very easy to wish it away...counting down to the next milestone. I promise once I no longer feel sick and have had my 12 weeks scan I'll enjoy it

I know a few people have mentioned thirst, mines been impossible to quench too - and timely it came up on my pregnancy+ app today that 'you might be more thirsty due to increased blood volume' - no idea how it relates but glad I'm not imagining it!

I feel so bad for wishing my time away, but being stuck in bed and signed off with all day sickness, I really can't wait for the time when I start to feel better! I'm only 8+5 and feel like I've got forever to go until I'm going to start feeling human again

Nausea seems to be settling down here, not all day anymore, but it can sometimes catch me off guard..boobs come and go. My biggest issue at the moment is an unquenchable thirst, especially at night, and heartburn...every time I'm going round the house picking stuff up it's there..I really suffered with my DS but only at the end, so hope this is going to settle down soon!

I do feel a little like I'm wishing the first trimester away, only because I'm terrified of getting to 12 weeks and there beign something wrong. But I do genuinely think once I reach that stage and everything is fine, then I can settle down and enjoy it. DH said the same yesterday, that so far, to be perfectly frank this pregnancy has been a bit of a pain in the arse and too much worrying going on for any excitement. But 12 scan on 27th so once that's done and results of screening in I can relax and start to enjoy it.

Telling people will help I think and being able to wear maternity clothes and not trying to hide my massive bloated belly every day behind baggy tops and scarves which just make me look even bigger!

So that's what I need to get really excited, a good 12 week scan and to tell the world...not much to ask for

With you all on the thirst, so glad someone has a reason for it. Must be good for us too though, as I am normally pretty bad at drinking enough water. Definitely getting my intake now, although means I have to get up in night.

4 days of work clothes left as have the week of my scan off. There are already 'stay well away' from clothes in my wardrobe, until people know anyway. Always seems to be the floaty dresses too, as they seem to fall onto my bump and make it look massive.

Any dressing tips people have found? Good or ones to avoid?

I'm so bloated I look really pregnant already. Most of my clothes with a waistband are uncomfortably tight. I bought a bump band from Jojo Maman Bebe which looked brilliant because it has a button so you button it into your jeans but... I tried it on with a denim skirt and somehow it accentuated the sides of my tummy and made me look about 6 months! Still, it was worth it for the giggles we had.

I bought a couple of thinner ones from mothercare and they're quite good. You can wear your skirt undone and the band closes the gap.

Just found this thread....Im a new.8+3 with baby number 2..my DS is 3 and every time I ask him to kiss the baby in my belly he screams...IM YOU BABY..not quite over the terrible 2s which he started at 1! and dreading how he will take a new baby around taking mummys attention away.

This preg is so different from my first, so I have convinced myself I am having a girl....and my OH and I have started to call her Amber...lol its all very strange... I am nauseous, and strangely started to feel claustrophobic, sore boobs which are bigger and feel fuller (not complaining, hope it lasts) I have not quiet lost my baby belly from my first and am showing already...so tired that doing any work is a mission...a work with a guy who is quiet hands on what everyone is doing (control freak, but he is just trying to see if the work is evenly distributed so that he can help) this does not help. I have told him a few times. I am only half here, the other half is somewhere else and I am still trying to find her. Not sure how long that will last!

To end, I have my booking apt with MW, and its min 3 hours, so had to book it as holiday and used that to book a private scan....will be 9+4 weeks than, could wait for the 12 week scan.....but I prob wont...just for me at the moment is I can certainly feel the baby as in I feel preg, now I just need to see my little Amber!

Anyone here know they are having twins. Heard that Beyoncé and Clooney are having twins this year....Is it the year of the twins.

On a serious note....I am worried about the Chromosome testing, I will be turn 37 this year so not exactly the idea age!

I'm in under bump maternity jeans from Jojo which I had from my last pregnancy and are very comfy - just have to be aware of hiding the band around people who don't know! I'll buy some other bits and pieces after the 12 week scan.

At home I'm wearing massive (and I mean massive) maternity leggings from next - they are over bump (which basically means they reach my boobs at the moment) and saggy but perfect for slouching around. Even pj waistbands are too much for my sensitive belly at the moment.

Definitely bigger earlier this time round.

I tried a couple of pairs of over bump trousers but they were ridiculous, and just slithered down when I moved so I took them back. Just between stages I guess.

Trying not to wish the weeks away but I can't wait for my scan next Friday to get some reassurance that everything is ok. I'm rather anxious about defects as well being 36, but I've been high dose supplementing for almost a year so I've done everything I can.

Thirst wise it's crazy, I need to drink water every 20mins otherwise I feel faint. I've given up on jeans and am living in leggings and dresses at the moment with a poncho to hide the bump.

Had my first major meltdown this morning, triggered by a learner driver confusing me and the fact I've made no sales all week. Went from so angry and just yelling in the car to a hyperventilating crying mess, was driving down a motorway so had to pull over and call someone to calm me down. Hormones are crazy I never really cry so totally took me by surprise!

Scan was all good today - saw and heard the little heartbeat. It made it very real. I thought I was 8+3, she put me at 8+4. Due 18/9.

Marking place. 8 weeks today with DC3. Feeling very sick and tired but happy to be here..

Great news on your scan tot

I'm still in jeans here but doing them up with a hairband and they're so uncomfy by the end of the day. Tried some under bump jeggings at the beginning of the week, but they were too loose...Dresses only make me look pregnant.

I'm using H&M maternity vests to hide my gaping fly! Got a few days off work next week though, so will be getting my over bump jeans out which aren't too bad at falling down..I also tried folding the elastic in half to make them under bump for now, that seemed to work well..

7+6 today
Nausea and tiredness has eased off, for today at least. Not hopeful that will last. Maybe it's just because I ate fairly soon after waking this morning and have eaten regularly since. Nausea has only hit once today.
But the waterworks have started!!! I watched two episodes of Call the Midwife and blubbed nearly the whole time.
I told my immediate boss last night. She started welling up because she was so happy for me (knows we've been trying for a while) - so obviously I started crying as well!! I'm hoping work will be at littler easier now my manager knows. Though I'll keep it a secret from everyone else until after 12 week scan. Well I'll try to.

Hope everyone has a nice nausea free start to their weekend

snoodles and Hells ok good so it's not just me then! I did think it was a little early for the symptoms to be calming down! 10+3
Great news on your scan tot :)

How long does a booking in appointment usually take? I've got mine tomorrow 🤔 If i ask the midwife to try and find my little beans heartbeat, will see be likely to do it? X

Amz I don't think they like to try for heartbeat's until your 16 week appointment...with my DS my mw did but only because I had my scan that afternoon so if she couldn't find it, we knew we'd know later that day. I told my MIL after who was a mw and couldn't believe she'd tried so early...

I expect it would just make you more anxious..They allow an hour for booking in, but mine was less than half that I think, very efficient mw who had filled in most things before I got there...

Just seen this and thought of some of us on the yellow food diet 😂

Oh roobois too true
