Thread #2! Welcome everyone! Newbies come and join and introduce yourselves. Wishing everyone a relatively vom free first trimester.

Thanks Lixon I'm ok really - puking once a day but spending a lot of time dreaming about food as when I'm eating is the only time I feel almost normal...

Battenburg i also had really strong cramps a couple of weeks ago - it is the uterus stretching apparently. They've eased off now (7w)

Creameggs hope you managed to sneak off for a glass of water... some people can be so unhelpful

Oh my stats are

Age 33
2nd pregnancy (toddler is 22 months)
Edd 15th dec

Haha lovecreameggs - I love how clueless men can be!! Mine would do the exact same thing (if he could drive!)

I've suffered a mix of period-style cramps and more 'stabby' 'take your breath away' type pains at 4-6.5 weeks but they seem to have eased off a bit in the past few days so I hope the same is true for you battenburg.

I had my first moment of queasiness earlier but it passed quickly and I think I was just hungry (because I have an insatiable appetite!)

Already in bed. What a rock star!

@glastogal me too, can't stay awake at the moment! I've always been a little old lady for an early night but I'm awful at the minute, could happily go at 8pm!

Evening all. Welcome to the newcomers. I'm finally in bed after a long day. Awake from a crazy hour this morning and we have friends staying tonight so only just managed to get to bed now.

We went out for a few drinks and our friends seemed like they'd sussed us out when I wasn't drinking - we ended up telling them and they told us they'd guessed due to how we were acting. Doh, don't think we are good at hiding our excitement but glad they know. They are very close friends of ours so it's good regardless.

Anyone else keep just thinking to themselves, I really hope this all works out and we have a healthy baby at the end of if? I know thousands of people have great pregnancies first time and have healthy babies, but I can't help but think of the more 'negative' stats and it makes me worry as I want this so bad.

Sorry for rambling on......

bluebell same here! Can't stop reminding myself of the negatives but I think it's normal tbh. It just means we are happy to be pregnant and excited to meet our LO.
I'm currently sitting in bed with an ice pack on my boobs!
It's actually working really well!

@lovecreameggs snap to age and toddler age! You have a June 2015 baby too? Girl or boy?

Still no real symptoms here and am driving my DH mad by googling miscarriage stats week by week 😫 I know I need to chill out but it's so hard especially on holiday when there's not much else to think about...!

Yes June baby first time!

I'm worried his morning, all says I'm 5+3 but still only showing 1-2 weeks on cbd test. But nothing I can do, I'll wait three weeks and then book in at gp and see what they say

carlotta nice to see you on here. I'm so exhausted like you and bluebell. I'm going to bed at 8-30 as I can't keep awake. I'm going to have to start napping during the day at this rate. How do you keep active but not be so exhausted that you can hold your job down. It's a tad tricky.

montypants and bluebell I can't even face looking at the MC stats at all. After having a medication defect abortion and a MC I just can't add that extra worry to my life. I'm forcing myself to enjoy everyday as it comes even if I'm spewy and knackered. To me it's a gift to get this far.

Im not seeing any symptoms, I go to bed at 9 but that's standard with my toddler who wakes 2-3 times a night still!

Lovecreameggs I'm the same...my 'symptoms' are very few! Boobs a little sore but that's not unusual, bloated and windy but I have IBS, tired on a night but I have insomnia so that's normal. Just feel like I'm imagining it at the moment!
Might get a CB digital today and take another test as haven't taken one for a week and don't feel any different!

creameggs & Mary Shelly in the same. Desperate for my boobs to start hurting. I keep giving them little pokes!

I still feed my toddler at bedtime and when she wakes and my nipples are definitely more sore when she feeds but my overall boobs feel normal and of course I'm used to them going up and down in size during the day!

I was supposed to wait until tomorrow because last Tuesday it was 2-3 but Yay!

I'm definitely with you all on the negative stats but after 2 consecutive mmc's the odds are still with me to have a positive ending this time, I'm gripping on to that!

2 weeks tomorrow until my scan, it can't come quick enough!

Hooray for the 3+ @TootsyBella84 🙌🙌

Me too LeighdingLady! Lol! I was overjoyed to feel a but sick in the night but think that was more to do with the giant Chinese takeaway I shovelled in for tea!

Great test Tootsybella!! 😊

Great news tootsy!

I'm with you Beardy, just trying to enjoy it, though am struggling with the constant nausea! Rich tea biscuits are my new best friends!

I had a very vivid, realistic, horrible dream this morning that I had a mc. I woke up genuinely thinking I wasn't pregnant anymore, which was not nice. A week on Thursday I will hopefully have a nice reassurance scan which will bring good news...

Welcome and congrats to the new posters!

I've just booked an early viability scan on Groupon...will try and get booked in for when I should be 7.5wks. Hopefully if we see something there I'll be more relaxed 😊

chocolateraisin I'm still attempting to find something that will ease mine. It's constant all day now from morn till eve. I might try crackers or rich tea biscuits.

I found oat cakes, eating them constantly, helped first time round

Hi all,
Newbie here too! Had a positive test two weeks ago, have a docs appt this Thursday. As far as I can work out should be due around 7th Dec. It's my first and am terrified about everything, will it be ok, will I be an ok mum, how will I cope? Argh it's all so much! Does anyone else feel the same?

Morning all. I feel a little queasy this morning and have some low stomach cramps. A little like period pains. Making me worry.
