September 2018.... still trying to believe it's a BFP

[Jfw82]

Starting a thread with cautious optimism, BFP on Christmas Eve and again today (on ic, first response and CB digital ) If all goes well EDD 3 Sept. this will be DC2 for us, DS is 13 months and completely shocked as this was first month TTC when last time took 6 months. Hope to have some company here soon

Thanks for the prompt to get the flu jab all, will call on Monday!
Took possibly my last ever pregnancy test this morning if this one is all good 🤞🏻 showing as 3+ and telling in-laws today

Hmmm you've all made me rethink about the flu jab. I'd been in the definitely not camp as I don't want to risk it making me unwell. But flu will make me more unwell so that was stupid. I'll book it next week.

Congrats on the 3+ @muffyduffster. Do you think the inlaws will be pleased? I want to tell EVERYONE already but we're holding off for the time being, only my sister knows atm!

Oh I love that 3+ muffyduffster. Congratulations! What do you think the in laws will say?

Yes Sals27! I’m not a healthcare worker but I know it’s important and hearing stories from healthcare professionals about how overrun the hospitals are at the moment with the flu we should be doing all we can to protect ourselves.

@MonaTheMoaner it was both to be honest. At first I researched paracetamol and it said to avoid or take the smallest dose possible. I took none For 2 days and was a wreck last night. After I had a temp of over 38 yesterday, I read that a fever can cause miscarriage or defects. I need to stay off Dr Google!

Since then I've been taking paracetamol and I've now been able to eat

I managed to get 9 hours of sleep last night but am now shattered again. Whhhhy?

UppityStitch all healthcare professionals have told me that the usual dose of paracetamol is fine when needed (up to 8 pills a day spaced out). Where did you find the link to miscarriage and was it backed up?

kirinm the exhaustion is so debilitating. Do you have any ideas of how to keep our energy up without a lot of caffeine?

With my first pregnancy I ended up hospitalised due to a burst cyst at 5 weeks and they gave me an IV of paracetamol and it was fine if that reassures you at all

In-laws will be made up DD goes to them two days a week and MIL adores children!

Ugh I have spent all morning altering my.bridesmaid dress so.It'll hide my 14 week bloat bump. Had to tske the zip off. Remove the entire waistband and shorten the bodice, restructure the bodice and left room to add two darts on the puffy skirt so I have the illusion of a waist. No one will guess.I'm hiding the youngest wedding guest in there. It has gone from this none fitting tent...

To this, which fits and the empire waist will hide any belly.

Oops I can't even type anymore. Ignore all the typos.

CuppaSarah Love what you’ve done! The style is lovely and very flattering. Agree that nobody will be able to tell.

Thanks for the reassurance ladies. I'll be on paracetamol until its gone. God knows where I read it but it put me off taking anything at all. Compared to yesterday I've managed to get up, put on some washing and the dishwasher so that's something at least

Paracetamol is safe to use during pregnancy (2 upto 4x a day spaced out)

I have the flu jab due to my kidney problems and like everyone else no side effects just a sore arm while it's being done. That's it.

Defo worth getting the jab

Love what you've done with the dress!

Nausea has been very bad today

Made something a little spicy but made it overly spicy!!

Who was asking about scans? Sorry can't remember

My next scan is 26th
Will be 7+2 hopefully

Just caught up,

@MonaTheMoaner I have my scan on Friday, 6 more days of anxiously waiting!

Fia fx it's more reassuring than the ones we've all had!

My first midwife appt at the hosp is on the 31st eeek. Not too far away!
So scan the Friday before then see them on the following Wednesday fx!

Ive been taking them every 4 hours, they normally wear off well before then.

I can't wait for my early scan. Had one last time round around 7 weeks. I also need a very urgent Doctors appointment as all my usual meds have to change. I'll be on aspirin for tomorrow by order of my consultant as I normally take blood thinners.

I have a terrible sore throat and mouth ulcers I rang the midwife to ask if I could take paracetamol and she said only if absolutely necessary so I've tried to struggle on. I took paracetamol in my last pregnancy but think I didn't have any need to take it in the first trimester so I wasn't sure. I'm going to see how I feel later I've been sucking on ice cubes for the ulcers all morning

Think I might take some tonight

Sickness is back with avengence today. Literally everything I've put in my mouth food or fluid has come back up again. Woohoo! Sickness!!

Does this work? New thread.

Hi ladies....could I please join you're thread. I'm 8+4 with 2nd child. My Dd is 2.4. I'm looking for advice on a slight bleed I had yesterday. Have been to docs as haven't had booking appointment yet (have that on Tuesday) but have got appointment on Friday morning at EPU. I have never heard of this unit nor did I have any bleeding with first pregnancy. I'm just wondering what to expect. Any info much appreciated xxx
