@applesauce1 that's such a lovely outlet. I did a painting in memory of my mmc. And I loved being able to just paint and be creative.

Very random.. anyone had any cravings yet? I've been suffering with morning sickness however I woke up this morning with a craving for raw white onion.. had a salad for lunch and had half a white onion in it.. goodness knows what nutritional value in that I'm needing?!

@applesauce1 thats beautiful. I’ve just finished designing my own pregnancy journal and so chuffed to bits with it. I couldn’t find any I liked in the shops. And it’s a great thing to keep your mind busy during these long weeks.

@Cakelaur I’m thinking of you but spotting it so normal at this stage. My sister had it and had a perfect little girl. My friend also had a lot of bleeding and is having a perfect little boy. It’s not over yet. Just take it easy x x x

AaronPurrSir · 22/04/2018 15:27

@cakelaur everything crossed for you that this is just normal spotting and nothing to worry about Flowers

Had an early scan this weekend, super strong little heartbeat and baby measuring exactly right for my dates. So pleasedSmile

Rumblein · 22/04/2018 15:43

Hi can I join? I think I'm due around 3rd December and it'll be my first. Feeling sick most of the time but eating way too much! X

MagicalCreatures · 22/04/2018 15:49

Hi girls. I was going to book an early scan at 8 weeks but not sure if I can wait that long.

What was the earliest that you had a scan and heard the heartbeat?

I don’t want to book it too early that there’s nothing to see x

BobbySD345 · 22/04/2018 15:56

@Magicalcreagurss I think most advise 8 weeks as being the earliest although I had mine at 7 + 3 last time as we messed up on dates and we could see a little flutter.

BobbySD345 · 22/04/2018 15:57

@MagicalCreatures sorry I tried to tag you but apparently can't spell !

MagicalCreatures · 22/04/2018 16:01

Haha thanks Bobby.
I think that has abit more of a ring to it TBH.

Mountaindreamer · 22/04/2018 16:04

Hi, can I join? I got a positive test on Friday and am 4 weeks +2 (?) calculator says I'm due 24th of December.
I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in Feb this year, so pretty terrified this one will go the same way! I am getting period like cramps....which I had last time so who knows.... xx

lrwe · 22/04/2018 16:33

Hello - I’m cautiously popping my head in after my BFP this weekend. Nervous as it will be our third babba and I’m older these days.

@cakelaur keeping everything crossed for you - I had brown spotting with both my boys that made me nervy.

@magicalcreatures I had a dating scan with my first as I conceived just after I came off the pill and saw a heartbeat at just before 6 weeks. Same with my second son. But all that was expected the second time was a gestational sac. The longer you can wait the better.

Also with my first we had a scan at 8 weeks and the difference was incredible to the one I had to date 2 weeks before!

SpongeBobGrannyPants · 22/04/2018 18:17

How worrying @Cakelaur. I had spotting (well, actually had brown and red blood!) with my dd through entire first trimester and all was ok. Incidentally, I had not one drop with my second trimester loss. Stay positive. The nausea is a good sign!

Sending love @balalalala too. How are things today? x

balalalala · 22/04/2018 19:08

Thanks @spongebobgrannypants pretty much the same here tbh. Still just light red blood on wiping. A little more crampy this evening so who knows!

Buenavista · 22/04/2018 19:43

Balalala and cakelaur big hand holds. Seeing any colour of blood, even small amounts is just terrifying. I had a big brown bleed at 5 wks with my son and a huge red bleed at 23 wks too, utterly terrifying. Distract yourself as much as possible and fingers crossed the scans will give good news. Hello and welcome to the newbies. Lovely painting applesauce.

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 21:08

Dunno about you @balalalala I just feel awful!! Like my body is failing me. I can't figure out whether I feel sick with nerves or with baby. And the cramps I've been having since I got my bfp I can't figure out if they're stronger, or I'm just more aware. 😭 I hate this!! I was doing ok being kinda calm until this today.

balalalala · 22/04/2018 21:18

@cakelaur 100% there with you! It's so horrible. I've finally stopped properly for the first time since the bleeding started and I'm surprised at how hard it's all hit me. I just feel so sad and 'wrong'.

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 22:15

Mines just started up again now. And it's pink now. Guessing eventually it'll turn to red and then it'll be over!! 😭

MagicalCreatures · 23/04/2018 07:09

balalalala Cakelaur stay strong girls. I’m thinking of you both all the time 💐

liane15 · 23/04/2018 08:07

Sickness has kicked in for me and it's horrible 🤢 hoping not every day will be like the previous two!
Praying you ladies have your happy endings, stay strong 💕

lolli18 · 23/04/2018 08:10

@balalalala @Cakelaur
I hope everything's ok il keep you in my prayers !
❤️❤️

Cakelaur · 23/04/2018 08:12

Thanks ladies. Just trying to get through to Epu now. But guessing they're not open until 9.

lolli18 · 23/04/2018 08:14

Hopefully they'll see you today! Let us all no if u need anything xx

Stephisaur · 23/04/2018 08:43

@cakelaur @balalalala

thinking of you both this morning.

MIL bled throughout her pregnancy with DH (after several miscarriages) and he came out ok, so I think it can be nothing to worry about

MamaBerg · 23/04/2018 09:44

Morning everyone. I was up before 5am with my 2yo playing silly buggers so I'm soo tired now. Also when I was getting ready for work I started throwing up luminous yellow acid. I wasn't even feeling sick at that particular moment. I seem to be swinging between feeling really nauseous like I might throw up to that "I'm so hungry I feel sick" feeling Sad.
I'm still suffering this awful cough/cold/laryngitis so the coughing with that is churning my stomach too.

I generally feel shit and I'm sure my boss is going to have a go at me later because I've had I think 5 or 6 sick days so far this year plus other days -working from home- off when 2yo has been ill. I've only had like 2 sick days in the past 5 years working here but he won't care about that. I've not told him about the pregnancy just yet but to say he won't exactly be jumping for joy to congratulate me is an understatement.

balalalala · 23/04/2018 10:03

Sorry to hear you feel so awful mamaberg

@cakelaur how are you getting on? Did you get through to the epu? I've told my boss this morning who is being very supportive and told me to take it as it comes and update him as needed.
