Thinking of you @balalala 💐

I’ve been a grumpy mess today. We got the train to London for DH Birthday treat. It has been SO WARM 😩 my feet are swollen, I feel sick, and I’ve barely managed to stay awake on the train back. My stomach has also bloated past it’s usual fat stage so I look about 5 months rather than 5 weeks 😩

Hi, I've already joined the Facebook group but haven't said hello on here yet. Had an early scan today at 7 wks and all ok. Due 6th December. I'm 41 and we have an 18 month old.

@Cakelaur I'm out of stock so definitely no more POAS for me. Or... PIARV (piss in a random vessel). I showed my husband my 3+ week digital this morning and he just groaned, "I know you're pregnant! Why are you still doing these?"

Yeah. I don't know. It's an obsession.

Cleozeta · 21/04/2018 20:41

How do I join the fb group?

Kit17 · 21/04/2018 21:52

Well I finally have a symptom - trapped wind!! Confused

Cakelaur · 21/04/2018 22:00

@applesauce1 mine was like.... um I've seen this! I was like no it says 3+.. his response... what does that mean?! Haha bless him. He did get there in the end. Once I explained. Haha

Cakelaur · 21/04/2018 22:01

@JoJoyorker hi!!!
@balalalala how are you babe? Has the bleeding all stopped?

smorgasborgen · 21/04/2018 23:40

Hope your ok balalala.x
The days are going agonisingly slowly. It's like the days leading up to payday very and over again! (I've only been pregnant for five weeks!)

Maggi85 · 21/04/2018 23:40

Hi all, got some more symptoms now - sore boobs yay so starting to feel more real.
For everyone that is worrying and wanting to have a early scan I would say it’s nice to check that everything is ok but once that scan is done you will start worrying again and be counting down the days until the 12 week scan..all I can advise is what will be will be, trust your body and just wait and see. I have had 3x miscarriages and i understand how upsetting it is and how excited you get when you get the positive line and start planning for your baby and then things don’t work out - my last miscarriage was in December I was 16 weeks it was heartbreaking and very difficult to deal with - but I’m here and pregnant again and I have to be excited and positive and look forward and trust that things will be ok otherwise I would be a miserable nervous wreck and that would achieve nothing. Words are easy and believe me I worry and I have my down days but Everything will be ok in the end and if it’s not ok - it’s not the end xxx love to all of u going on this rollercoaster journey xx

Hi Cleo 👋 I messaged 0lgaDaPolga to be added. I think there was a problem sending messages. I couldn't message from inbox but I clicked on her name in the thread below and it worked.

Blondiemama · 22/04/2018 07:35

Hello all,

I've been lurking for a week or so since I got my BFP not brave enough to join in but I'm saying hello! I'm 5 weeks and due 24/12/18 2nd baby :-)

balalalala · 22/04/2018 07:41

@cakelaur thanks for checking in on me! Doing OK. The bleeding stopped during the day yesterday but started up again yesterday evening. Glad I've got the scan booked but Tuesday still feels so long away!

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 07:55

@balalalala oh babe. I really do have everything crossed for you. I bet it's dragging! So glad they'll scan you. Xx

JustCallMeTheOven · 22/04/2018 09:18

Morning girls, feeling a bit cranky this morning, boobs sore too, how is everyone?

@0lgaDaPolga can I be added to the fb group too please?

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 09:44

Well I've had pink/brown tinged cm on wiping today. I had this last time when I had mmc 😭 totally freaking out

balalalala · 22/04/2018 09:48

@cakelaur oh no! Handholding for you! Fingers crossed it's nothing to worry about.

Stephisaur · 22/04/2018 10:00

@cakelaur oh no that must be very stressful for you :(

Fx it’s nothing. Can you contact a midwife or anything? Xx

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 10:02

Thanks ladies. I've got a scan on Friday with Epu anyway due to previous loss. There's nothing that anyone can do until then anyway. I knew it was too good to be true.

Skittlelover · 22/04/2018 10:26

*cakelaur don't give up. I've had two missed miscarriages and I had spotting with only one, but I also had spotting with my son so I think it isn't conclusive. But it's so stressful. Hopefully will be good news Friday. Keep distracted.
Thinking of you and *balalala lots of positive vibes. Xx

ArranRose · 22/04/2018 11:23

Hey There,
I am 21 found out a few days ago that I am 5 weeks pregnant with our first baby. Pretty big surprise but I am happy about it. Was a bit worried yesterday because I had a bit of craming and bleeding but the doctor said just to wait and see, and come back in if it gets worse but seems to be settling down. I guess it's now just a waiting game until the first appointment with the midwife.

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 11:28

Thanks @Skittlelover I just have. Gut feeling it's over again. But we'll see. Even more harsh, I've just started feeling sick today!! 🙈

JustCallMeTheOven · 22/04/2018 11:42

Cramping and a bit of bleeding can be normal at this stage but listen to your body & congratulations :-)

applesauce1 · 22/04/2018 11:58

@Cakelaur I agree with PP who have said that it's normal at this stage - has it turned bright red or still brown?

I've just finished up another baby painting commission and cannot wait to make one of these for my very own baby. Every time I made one of these, my heart would sigh for its own baby to paint for. So hoping and praying that the little bean sticks so I can make that dream come true...

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 12:11

It's stopped for now. But this was my first sign something could have been wrong last time.

@applesauce1 that is the cutest!! Do you hand draw them?

applesauce1 · 22/04/2018 12:32

@Cakelaur I'm really crossing my fingers for you. If it's stopped then that's a good sign.
Yeah, I draw and paint them by hand. Terrible business model as they take ages and I don't know how to make prints.
Will def be sticking to the day job!
