@Grendelle don't worry, neither am I! I'm sure when it gets closer I'll be excited but at the moment I'm just kind of 'Oh yeah, I'm pregnant, meh'. We're pretty unusual but we're not the only ones! I felt the same last time, so I've had an extra chance to get used to not feeling guilty about how I feel - after all, I can't help it!

PopTheRainbowdrops · 15/04/2018 20:30

I'm flicking between excited and meh and why am I doing this (again). I think it's pretty normal - it's a big change and we have lots of ridiculous hormones flying around!

Mum0918 · 15/04/2018 21:50

im 5 weeks and i still dont feel like im pregnant maybe ive just not believing it yet

Cakelaur · 16/04/2018 07:55

So my biggest symptom at the mo is being mega hungry and I'm crying at everything!!! 'Say yes to the dress' is the new one!! Haha! There are very few tv programs I don't cry at!! Haha

PickettBowtruckles · 16/04/2018 08:07

Hi, can I join? Just had my BFP this morning (after a couple days of shadows on internet cheapies!). It’s the weirdest feeling, surreal and I don’t really believe it yet! X

I don’t have a lot at the moment. My boobs hurt a tiny bit more each day but nothing like before.
And last time where as I felt nauseous all the time but was never sick, this time I only feel nauseous when I eat and I actually have a moment where I think I’m going to throw up 🤢

Gemsie1984 · 16/04/2018 09:50

I feel so sick today! Eurghhhh.. Sad

Stephisaur · 16/04/2018 10:48

Same Gemsie :(

Doesn’t help that everyone at work keeps talking about food! I’m fussy enough but all this talk about foods I don’t eat is making me gag 🤢

Snowflake9 · 16/04/2018 11:36

Today is my first day of Nausuea. Woke me up at 2am and have been the same since. Really tender boobs today. Have had to buy a bigger bra already and i’m only 6 weeks.

Part of me is scared that if I get too excited it will get taken away from me. Just hoping and wishing it doesn’t.

Cakelaur · 16/04/2018 11:43

@Snowflake9 I feel the same about getting excited! I won't let anyone talk about it or suggest that we might make it this time.

I'm slightly jealous of all your nausea ladies. I quite wanna 'feel' pregnant. But I'm only 5 weeks and last time it hit me at 6.

Snowflake9 · 16/04/2018 11:56

My nephew is also having a baby with his new wife. She’s 14 weeks now. It’s so hard not to tell people, but I don’t want them to feel bad if anything were to happen with me.

I was jealous of nausea too, until I got it ! Hahaha.

applesauce1 · 16/04/2018 13:11

@Calkelaur

Also feeling envious of those with nausea. I think that will make it feel really real. Feeling a bit tight chested and breathless today, which is a new one.

applesauce1 · 16/04/2018 13:18

@MagicalCreatures

How are you feeling being off the medication? I think you're so brave and strong to come off it for baby creature. There aren't many studies proving the meds I'm on (Concerta) to be harmful, or safe for a baby, but like you, I don't want to take the risk.
Don't suppress things into your little box, make sure that you're talking to the people who love you all the way through this. If you ever want to offload, I'll be on the other end of a private message.
I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I can't imagine how much that pushed you emotionally. Sending you lots of love and hugs. Like you say, you've got great support around you so lean on it and don't try to struggle on alone.

A side effect of me coming off Ritalin is always depressive thoughts. My mind races and goes to the darkest places of my mind. It makes me very hard and unforgiving on myself and I often end up hating myself for my ridiculous inadequacies in just keeping up with normal life.

First day back at work today and feel like it's been pretty much OK. I'm buying a lanyard with a notebook and a pen so that I can record ANYTHING that I need to do straight away before it all falls out of my head the next second.

Tashaa123 · 16/04/2018 14:17

Hey everyone!

I’ve had nausea, sore boobs, belly ache and felt exhausted for the last few weeks but it’s all suddenly stopped this morning Confused is this something to be concerned about? Freaking out a little bit!

December2018 · 16/04/2018 14:22

Hi everyone :) I’m gonna jump in, me and my partner got our bfp on the 11th April and we where trying for nearly 7 years, we where told that we needed IVF and couldn’t conceive naturally (well we proved them wrong)
I’m due December 13th... this is my first pregnancy and I’m a little scared... checking my undies every 5 mins lol
I’m looking forward to chatting to all you lovelies xxxxSmile

Tashaa123 · 16/04/2018 14:27

@December2018 Welcome and congratulations!

Cakelaur · 16/04/2018 14:31

@applesauce1 yeah. It's not quite real until you feel sick. But I have MEGA tiredness!! Can think about anything but sleep! Haha. I'm supposed to be looking after my puppy. Just woke up to him crying by the back doe and a puddle on the floor! #naughtymummy 🙈

December2018 · 16/04/2018 14:38

I'm feeling pretty sick too... I had a cup of tea with my mum this morning and as soon as she went into the bathroom... of course I needed to spew when she was in there... so I was sick in her plant pots in the back garden, she was less than impressed lol
Also might be a little tmi but, is yellowish CM normal in pregnancy?
I'm 5 weeks + 4 days xxxWinkGrin

PickettBowtruckles · 16/04/2018 14:39

Is anyone else anxious at every cramp? I know cramping is normally but it makes me so nervous and running to the toilet every 15 minutes to check!

December2018 · 16/04/2018 14:41

Yep! I still keep thinking I'm gonna come on lol it's really scary isn't it xx

PickettBowtruckles · 16/04/2018 14:47

Yep terrifying! I can’t help being super anxious though :(

Lynds4536 · 16/04/2018 14:53

Hi Everyone, and congratulations to you all.

I am due around the 14th Dec (according to an app). Have took 3 tests last week and were all positive so made a doctors appointment. To be told that doctors don't do anything any more and I need to make an appointment with a midwife, cant get an appointment with midwife until the 25th :(. This is my first pregnancy, I am so nervous / excited / scared / worried. Fingers crossed everything goes well for everyone and for me :).

December2018 · 16/04/2018 14:59

Hi lovely
Yeah I had to ring the hospital today and the midwife is sending me a letter and then a date for my first scan (or something along those lines)
I don't have a clue what I'm doing to be honest lol
.... I'm finding it strange that I haven't had my bloods done tho, Dosent the doctor usually wanna check HCG levels and stuff??

PickettBowtruckles · 16/04/2018 15:28

Just back from the doctors also - I have a booking in appointment on the 8th May and have to wait to hear from the hospital in regards to 12wk scan.

lolli18 · 16/04/2018 15:44

@December2018 I have the discharge too it must be normal
