[southxsw]

Just me?

Due 30th Dec/1st Jan

1st baby

Got my 3+ on a digi today . I don't know what I'll do down that there's no more tests to take .

So sorry blue. Hope you look after yourself over the next few days

Hello all, just joining with my bfp from yesterday. Looks like I'm due 17/01.

This is my 3rd attempt at a 2nd child, hopefully this one sticks!

Anyone else struggling with not blurting out that your pregnant? 😂 Also the tiredness - So, so tired......

Yes, I've nearly blurted it so many times today
Half of me wants to tell everyone but the other half of me wants it to be our secret for a few weeks

I'm so sorry Blue xx

So sorry @bluespottytiger ☹️

Congrats Elsa! Im just struggling to decide what to do about telling anyone. Its my first after ttc for a long time so at the moment i keep having to tell myself i am pregnant, so cant even think about telling anyone else, but ive not actually seen anyone since so maybe the blurting out urge will come. Got my bfp three days ago

I'm so sorry blue

So sorry to hear your news bluee, take care of yourself x

Unfortunately I'm bleeding today too, similar to a period. I did have bleeding with ds2 but it was a bit later than this so I'm not sure what to think. No cramps which is good news. I will be trying to distract myself with Eurovision tonight, shame I can't have a glass of wine!

Very sorry @BlueeSpottyTiger

I think I may be out too, been bleeding since last night, not heavy, but enough to think that's it. Glad I'm booked in for scan on Monday as it will hopefully be confirmed rather than be in limbo. Am almost tempted to console with a beer, but I dare not, just in case

So sorry to hear all the bad news, thinking of you all

I've spent most of this afternoon dozing on the sofa with my DD after she woke us at 6, I decided to take her + scooter into town for breakfast, then on to a park and out for lunch (to save me cooking & feeling sick over it). Brilliant result in the afternoon, feel much better this evening (apart from still constant nausea. I'm starting to wonder if it would be better to actually be sick that feel like I'm about to be sick 100% of my waking hours :(

Welcome to all the new joiners, it's lovely to have such a big group.

Hi everyone, got my BFP yesterday! It was cycle 14 so you can imagine my reaction! Due date 22nd Jan. My first baby so its all new to me, going to ring my GP on Monday and go from there. Are you all keeping it to yourselves at the moment?

So sorry to hear the bad news from a few of you

Isam and used, im hoping everything turns out ok for you x

Congrats Eva I was also a long time ttcer. So far not told anyone but i just got mine 3 days ago, are you going to tell anyone?

Congratulations @Eva30! Must feel amazing after a long time ttc. I've known for just over a week but only told DP and a friend still. Thinking of telling my mum and sister next week if things are still good and other parents the week after. I don't think they'll be expecting it right now, although they would be in a few months so I'm a bit nervous!

I currently don't feel pregnant at all still though! I think I'm 4+5 so I'm sure if sickness kicks in in a few weeks I'll be wishing I felt like this then!

Thank you! Yeah just DP ATM - it took me 2 days to tell him because it was the faintest of lines first and I didnt know if I was just seeing things!!
I'm really going to struggle next weekend at a spa weekend I've got booked with 2 best friends (avoiding sauna and jacuzzi and prosecco in the deal!) So I think they'll guess so I'll tell them.
And then I reckon we'll tell parents and siblings at about 8 weeks.
Same here purple I dont feel any different except having an awful cold!

Can I join? BFP last night due approx 23rd Jan. Second dc

Congrats everyone who just got BFPs .

Does anyone get sharp pains when you cough/sneeze?

I've noticed this happening a few times!

@imbreakingbad I've had sharp pains when turning over at night. Extensive googling (!) tells me this is completely normal and a symptom of your uterus stretching. Im still worried about it being ectopic but there's only 2% chance of that apparently...I have my first scan tomo so hopefully all is as it should be!

Imbreakingbad I've had cramps and sharp pains when sneezing, feels as though my womb is about to fall out 🙈

picked best of luck tomorrow! My first scan is on the 31st, it seems an age away still.

I second how it feels about your womb falling out. I sneezed earlier and nearly hit the roof. I had SPD with my first and with the MMC I was hobbling come 10 weeks. I'm sure this is probably just my muscles working again but it doesn't ease the fright!

Imbreakingbad I get that when I cough or sometimes sneeze, just feels muscular tho so I'm guessing its just strain in the muscles as they are already adapting to house a new occupant so coughing is occasionally a bit much, I put it down to it being first pregnancy as well so muscles are in shock lol

breakingbad in my first pregnancy I had a lot of stretching pains, and it felt like everything I did was connected to my abdomen including pains when I sneezed! Not so much this time though; I put it down to the idea my muscles/ligaments are already stretched as there was only really 7 or 8 weeks between pregnancies! (after MC that is, I'm not insane and getting pregnant 7 weeks after a birth...like my grandmother! )
pickledsausage good luck on your scan tomorrow!!! How far along are you? X

Mines also feels muscular. It's sharp pains that last a few seconds and seem to ebb off afterwards. My boobs are also starting to resemble udders . Dcat was preening on my house coat atelier and the pain was unreal!

I'm getting quick sharp pains several times a day too. I gather they're normal, but how much stretching does the womb need to do for something the size of a lentil? Never really got cramps with periods, but they're a bit like that or indigestion, but in my abdomen. Utterly exhausted all the time, though. I drag myself into work, do the minimum (which is probably for the best as my brain is fried and keep saying dumb things that are totally unlike me), go home and climb into bed, even though I don't sleep much. I have no energy for all the usual stuff that keeps our life on track, so my beloved is on a steep learning curve, as I'm the driving force in all things, as a rule. Bless him, he was really good about claiming on insurance for a new iPhone when I dropped mine down the loo in my hormonal haze (day before I tested - my hysterical sobbing was what alerted me, as I'd tested a few days before and been negative, so thought I was in the clear for another month), but he's tempted fate a few times recently - bringing a stinky scrambled egg and bacon sandwich covered in cheddar and Tabasco to bed to eat when I declined to sort dinner; pointing out yesterday that he's turned the bedroom light out six times when I'd left it on and left the room and how he wasn't going to mention it, but... My standard response is now: 'I'm growing a human. Fuck off.' Hormones are settling a little bit, which is a relief, as I felt deranged. It's like the worst PMT ever mixed with really bad jet lag, which always knocks me for six.

Anyway, what I wanted to ask the mums who've done this before is about bras. I'm 34B normally, and while my bras all still fit, the most recent development is that they feel swollen and sensitive, especially the nipples. Anyway, I gather this is normal and I know some advice is that pregnant women should avoid underwire bras, but all of mine are underwired, and I'm not sure if it's worth getting maternity ones just yet. Surely my size is going to change and I'll grow out of anything I buy now? I don't want to waste money, but I don't want to go without, as while I don't want to feel constructed, my poor sensitive boobs feel like they need support and protection too. How are others approaching this? When should I look at getting maternity bras?
