@duchessofstbridget we are due date buddies Grin

StrawberryLemonade · 08/12/2017 16:18

I got my 3+ on CB digital this morning so please slap me with a wet fish if I talk about doing any more tests Blush

Still feel surprisingly ok apart from tired.

Sparklesdontshine · 08/12/2017 16:29

@strawberrylemonade 😂😂 how far are you? I’m holding out till Monday to try for my 2-3 weeks on clear blue!

StrawberryLemonade · 08/12/2017 16:40

I'm 5+2 sparkles although maybe a couple days further as my cycle had been short.

Autumn0909 · 08/12/2017 17:27

Can I join? I got my BFP on Sunday and I’m 5+6. Does anybody else not feel it’s quite real yet? I feel like a fraud for some reason. I think I just expected to feel completely different!

YouCantBeSirius · 08/12/2017 17:48

Congratulations Autumn. I don't think it's completely sunk in for me yet. This pregnancy wasn't planned so that might be something to do with it.

AJ89 · 08/12/2017 18:05

Haven’t posted in a few days but yesterday and today have had brown bleeding when I wipe, went to Gp yesterday who has booked me in for a scan at the early pregnancy unit next Friday (I’ll be 6+1 then) He didn’t seem too concerned as haven’t had pain or clots so we will just have to wait and see.

On a lighter note, I’ve just cried when the team won on The Chase 😂 cracking up!

WeAllShine · 08/12/2017 18:15

@StrawberryLemonade 😂😂 I did another test this afternoon and line was deffo darker...I have none left now which is a good thing!

mamabearxoxo · 08/12/2017 18:18

I too am a serial tester, not enough to buy a digital as they are so expensive but got one of those clearblue ones that have the cross and its bright blue.
Have a scan nect week despite being early days so hope everything is OK in there

Tinks15 · 08/12/2017 18:20

Hi ladies

Can i join? I'm 6 weeks today. This will be DC2. I think I'm due around 3rd August Grin.
I'm feeling so sick & rough though & not sleeping well at all at the moment Sad. I didn't have this last time so I'm really struggling.
Anyone else feeling like this yet?

Brettgirl · 08/12/2017 18:35

@tinks15 I'm 6 weeks today too! I'm feeling very bloated which I think is making me feel sick but I've not had any morning sickness so far. Just exhausted! And very stroppy lol xx

somersetsinger · 08/12/2017 20:38

I'm 6 weeks tomorrow. Have been waking in the morning feeling increasingly nauseous. I've been able to quell it with a biscuit so far. Once I've had breakfast I've been fine.

I've also found the sea-bands that I wore last time. I had evil sickness last time and was on medication until 14 weeks. Don't know how I cope with mumming if it is as bad this time.

SmashyCup · 08/12/2017 21:40

That's my worry too @somersetsinger . Last time I spent weeks working from home hided under a blanket with bad nausea but no chance of relaxing this time with my 9 month old on the move everywhere!

DuchessofStBridget · 08/12/2017 21:51

@sparklesdontshine Awesome! I've no doubt mine will change at the dating scan though, it did last time. Hopefully it'll be brought forward this time though, not pushed back. Grin

mamabearxoxo · 09/12/2017 05:18

Smashycup I've a 9 month old too :) and a toddler, dreading the HG this time around!

Esssa · 09/12/2017 05:35

Hi ladies, can I join you? Due end of July but will most likely be August if I cook for longer like my mum did. Currently 6+6 with my first and awake because I am so bloated it's uncomfortable. Drinking peppermint tea in the hope it helps. Had a mc 8 years ago so I'm very tentative about this pregnancy, to the point I almost didn't post incase I had to bow out. There is much squinting every time I go to the loo. I know it's crazy and I can't do anything but wait and see. Hope everyone is getting on ok.

voxnihili · 09/12/2017 06:44

I'm joining tentatively. Got my BFP last Sunday at 12DPO, the day after the 6 month anniversary of my miscarriage. I've been incredibly anxious all week but am now 18DPO and 4+4 based on my last AF. My anxiety is so high I'm getting palpitations and have lost weight through worrying. I've been obsessively POAS all week to see the line progression on the FRER tests, and yesterday bought a clearblue to see what it looked like on a less sensitive test. I'm hoping what it looks like is what it should do for 18DPO.

mamabearxoxo · 09/12/2017 06:57

Voxnihili, your test looks like mine! I'm still a few days away from my my period but it's looking good!
Congratulations essa, hope everything is okay x

SmashyCup · 09/12/2017 07:12

Wow @mamabearxoxo a toddler too! You poor thing having HG, I hope you don't get it this time.

Welcome @Esssa and @voxnihili !

Babydreaming · 09/12/2017 07:20

I know it’s really silly but I’m already doubting this pregnancy is going to progress! When I first got my BFP I swear I had more symptoms and now I’m only 4+3 but symptoms dissapeared....I know it’s still super early for symptoms though! Want the next couple of months to speed up!

mamabearxoxo · 09/12/2017 07:41

Babydreaming I'm 3&6 so super early, my only symptom is HG starting to creep up.
Smashycup I'm dreading it kicking in, with my last pregnancies no anti sickness worked, I was on drips in the hospital for what felt like forever. Was constantly hungry but could never eat :(
Part of me wanted to just end it but knew I couldn't

SmashyCup · 09/12/2017 08:13

You poor thing, that sounds horrific! I hope you have lots of people around to help if you get it this time?

I'm even earlier than you, 2+6 now. I did a test really early because i just had a feeling and it turned out to be right!

SpriteGirl · 09/12/2017 08:47

Welcome all new comers and congratulations Smile
@AJ89 hope everything is ok with you.

Hana327 · 09/12/2017 09:23

Hi all. Can I join?
Tested yesterday at 2 days late and got my BFP. Tested again today to be sure and anoth BFP.
Been having usual AF pains/cramps but not how they usually are. These pains seem to crop up now and again but last a couple of seconds and then go. Working back from last AF I am 4w+5 and says EDD is 13/08/18.
I've been off my food, feel sick but hungry and sore boobs. Also having insomnia but that may be down to me overthinking everything!
This is our 1st pregnancy for both of us so absolutely no idea what to expect.

CaffeineDragon · 09/12/2017 13:01

Welcome everyone and congrats!

Try not to stress too much to those worried (easier said than done!) but you want to keep your body and calm and flowing with oxytocin as possible! We're all here for you either way.

Sorry I'm not posting much, work is crazy busy and my 22.5 mo DS is in crazy toddler land phase (I think this lasts another 2+ years?!) and is still up several times a night and my main symptom is fatigue, on top of already being shattered!

I guess apart from an MC, my main worry is DS still won't be sleeping well/through when the baby arrives 😞

Hope you all have lovely weekends. How has telling the DP's & friends/family been going? I think people are super happy when you have no 1 and then after that they just think your crazy! 😂
