How's everyone today? I feel very symptomless today which is doing wonders for my anxiety x

I'm blaming hormones for just completely embarrassing myself while out shopping.
My laptop has broken (with ALL my school work stuff on it) and the shop couldn't fix it, suggesting sending it off but no guarantee of repair and I just lost it and started crying 🙈🙈🙈
I can't believe I just did that!

No symptoms really but I know it's early and waiting for someone from the epu to get in contact regarding my early scan and just feeling a bit down and overwhelmed today 😕

I too have had random emotional outbursts goldielocks. One of the team members I work with started crying and it totally set me off which isn't me at all. Very embarrassing.
It's hard waiting for referrals. Hope you get some time to chill out and look after you.

I'm still feeling the tender boobs here and having achy legs at night. Nightmare.com

Carlotta82248 · 12/04/2017 17:01

Well I panicked and did this.....think I need to calm down! I also had an irrational outburst today over my OH cleaning the bathroom but not doing the inside of the cupboard, he might as well have murdered my entire family the way I carried on Blush

Wow look at that test! I have one frer left that I might do tomorrow now -that looks very satisfying! I'm getting sore boobs now and my 4yo just said 'mummy why are your boobies so fat?!' Great.
goldie I hope your computer gets fixed.... what a nightmare with all your resources! Worth a cry Ithink.
Is anyone watching one born every minute?? I might settle down with some chocolate and a cuppa to watch it later .....

goldielocks29 · 12/04/2017 19:31

Mother I watched obem on catch up this afternoon....turned me into another blubbering mess!!

Beardy1 · 12/04/2017 20:35

carlotta ooh what a strong result. Amazing.

mother I'm loving obem. Going to watch the catch up tomorrow. I just love it

Carlotta82248 · 12/04/2017 23:05

We have OH's family staying, managed to diet off the non drinking but god knows why they'll think I've just spent the last hour like a nodding dog on the sofa! Couldn't keep my eyes open! X

Carlotta82248 · 12/04/2017 23:05

Also my symptomless boobs are now very angry, ouchy!

catlotta hooray for painful boobs as messed up as that is

NotQuiteJustYet · 13/04/2017 22:22

Hi Ladies!

I got my BFP tonight, with ClearBlue saying 2-3 weeks and the date of my last period putting me at 5+1. I actually can't stop shaking, this was only our second month of trying!

Beardy1 · 14/04/2017 06:14

Congrats notquite how exciting!!

We are the same amount along. What's your EDD?

Carlotta82248 · 14/04/2017 08:43

Welcome @NotQuiteJustYet, over the moon for you! Such lovely news!

We do need to make a list of our EDDs, what is everyone's? I'm 19th so will obviously have an Xmas Day baby, be totally the sort of thing I'd do haha.

Can I request a virtual hug? Totally lost the plot last night crying for 2 hours terrified about miscarriage. Feel better for getting it out but feel a bit blue this morning still x

goldielocks29 · 14/04/2017 08:57

Aww Carlotta! I'm feeling nervous too, me and DH are trying not to get too excited yet but it's so hard and scary!
Sending you a massive virtual bear hug!

My EDD is 15th December, my area only lets you go 10 days overdue....might have an xmas day baby too (although I hope not!) 🤣

NotQuiteJustYet · 14/04/2017 09:18

Aww Carlotta, I'm sorry to hear you got so upset last night. I'm still in shock but the anxiety is creeping in already.

I believe my EDD is the 14th of December, but I have a feeling it will change because I have longer than normal cycles, so I think I would have ovulated later too.

Beardy1 · 14/04/2017 09:19

carlotta massive hug your way. I feel the same as you and goldie. I think it's totally normal for us to feel like this but I'm trying to focus in the positive. It's such a gift to have a baby now so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can. Look after you, sometimes a good cry is what you need.

My EDD is 14th of December apparently. Wow to have an Xmas day baby is something I've just thought about. Crasy!!

MotherofUnicorns · 14/04/2017 11:33

Hi! I used up my last frer yesterday which was lovely and reassuring! The test line came up before the control line.... !
How is everyone e today?
I told my mum yesterday and she was really excited. I need to get a GP appt I guess now to register with the maternity units.... has anyone done that yet?

Carlotta82248 · 14/04/2017 11:37

Not yet @MotherofUnicorns, because I was 5 weeks last time I think I want to get past that point before I do it, I'm working all long days (managed to swap nights to days yay!) at the end of next week so will probably leave it and go at the start of my 6th week xxx

MotherofUnicorns · 14/04/2017 11:37

Sorry just seen all the messages - stupid phone took ages to load! carlotta big hugs
It is so scary I agree. That's why I want an early scan asap then I can relax a little bit.
Welcome not quite good to have a new recruit.....
My edd is 17th from my ovulation date (cd21) but if you go from my last period it would be maybe the 10th..... I think I'm going to pretend my last period was on the 10th March not the 5th so it's more accurate.
I have been 11+ days late with both my others so expecting a late Dec baby.....

Carlotta82248 · 14/04/2017 12:41

@MotherofUnicorns how do you do it from your ovulation date?! That probably sounds so silly but how do you work it out?! My period was randomly 2 days late just before falling pregnant making me 4+3 but am sure am further along x

OP posts:
goldielocks29 · 14/04/2017 14:10

Mother, I haven't got any appointments with the antenatal team yet, but my gp has sent off referrals for the midwife and an early scan so hoping to hear from someone next week!

Do you need to see the gp for your referral or can you self refer in your area? X

MotherofUnicorns · 14/04/2017 18:11

I think I can self.refer having just looked online so I might do that.
carlotta I Googled due date calculator and some sites give you the option of working it out from ovulation date as well as last period. I think I did it on baby centre. ...

Carlotta82248 · 15/04/2017 09:34

Thanks for all your support girls, I really do appreciate it. We've had OHs family here the past few days, it's been hard work when I've been preoccupied, they're also big night owls which I've found hard too, I'm so tired by 10pm. Feel like I've been a bit 'off' which I feel bad about. Woke up feeling a bit like hungover today, must be all that lemonade I've been drinking! Is everyone doing nice things for Easter? The family go home today so I plan on doing absolutely nothing! Xx

MotherofUnicorns · 16/04/2017 12:45

Currently at my mums.... I've told my sisters, one of whom is 7 months pg. I'm exhausted!!
How is everyone else?

goldielocks29 · 16/04/2017 13:18

Still not told anyone, really trying our best to keep it quiet, we have a lot of family events coming up which is going to be difficult.

We were out last night though and I was drinking vodka soda, but pretty sure a couple of our friends realised there was no vodka.

I can't stop eating though, gone off sweet things and just craving carbs and salty things....had a lovely garlic pizza bread as a 'snack' last night 🙈🙈
