@cakelaur I'm so relieved for you! What great news. I bet you're just on cloud nine at the moment.

@balalala I really hope things go OK today. I'll be thinking of you.

Anyone else still with no sickness or nausea and feeling anxious about it? I'm 7+5 today and still nothing. Just fatigue and slightly tender boobs. Do you ever get an early scan due to a near complete lack of symptoms? Probably not!

balalalala · 24/04/2018 08:21

Thanks guys, I will update later on.

Rachie1986 · 24/04/2018 08:38

Thinking of you today balalala.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. I seem to go from no symptoms at all (and worried!) to feeling exceptionally sick. No middle ground there!

Booked an early scan for tomorrow.

MagicalCreatures · 24/04/2018 08:40

@balalalala good luck. Thinking of you x

liane15 · 24/04/2018 08:57

Anyone else sick after taking folic acid? I was yesterday and worried the same will happen today and my body won't be getting enough of it 😬

Skittlelover · 24/04/2018 09:43

Good luck balalala, hope it goes ok.
Great news on your scan cakelaur.
I have my reassurance scan one week today, feels like such a slow week. Sickness and nausea now seem to be all day :(. Hoping it's a good sign tho. X

Cakelaur · 24/04/2018 10:13

Cue nausea. Bang on 6 weeks!!

Stargirl90 · 24/04/2018 10:15

I've got a private early scan today at 12.20 and i am terrified! I am around 8 weeks. I feel sick with nerves, really hope everything is okay :(

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 24/04/2018 10:20

Good luck @Stargirl90 fx everything goes well and you come back with a beautiful scan to take home!

@balalalala sending everything positive to you today!!

@Cakelaur hope you feel better as the day goes on :/ get some puppy cuddles!!

MagicalCreatures · 24/04/2018 10:47

Warning!!! TMI alert!!!
My nipples are huge!!!!
The baby isn’t even the size of a blueberry yet......but my nipples are.
I’ve always had small perky boobs and nipples and whilst I’m enjoying the slightly fuller breasts, my god my nipples look totally out of place 😂

Mamababynumber2 · 24/04/2018 10:54

Thinking of you today balala xx

Cakelaur · 24/04/2018 11:10

You could be one of the lucky ones @applesauce1. If you're feeling nervous then I'd book a private scan. But I bet little bean is just being good to you!

lrwe · 24/04/2018 11:20

@MagicalCreatures 😂😂😂 mine have never gone back to normal. This pregnancy is bound to finish mine off!

Cakelaur · 24/04/2018 11:26

@Stargirl90 good luck babe.
@balalalala thinking of you!!!
@liane15 try a different brand. My best friend was really sick on the 7 seas pregnancy pills, and switched to ASDAs own brand and it removed all her sickness

binkybunny · 24/04/2018 11:45

Good luck balalala hope it all goes well today!

I have succumbed to a day off work and the sofa today. I've only managed to eat an avocado so far and can't stomach food or drink. I'm dreading 2.45pm when j have to leave the sofa to pick DD up from old-school! Sad

liane15 · 24/04/2018 11:55

@Cakelaur thank you will pick up a different brand today, I have the Tesco home brand at the minute. So far i haven't been sick yet today but there's still plenty of time for that, I was reading last night how to help the sickness and apparently sniffing lemons helps amongst other things I'm willing to try anything even if I look like a crazy person!

Gemsie1984 · 24/04/2018 12:00

This is my third pregnancy. Pre pregnancy with my first my boobs were a pert 34B.. Now they're a 38F.. god only knows what they are now.. bigger as I'm spilling out my bras but they're so sore now I go bra less when I can. My nipples also resemble actual teacup saucers.. I really want to BF but I'm scared I'll suffocate the poor bubba!Blush

Stephisaur · 24/04/2018 12:01

@liane15 DH had a lemon sponge last night and the smell of lemon was so strong I almost threw up on it!

Lemon sniffing is perhaps not for me! Grin

Mountaindreamer · 24/04/2018 12:34

So nice to hear all of your symptoms haha!
I just feel like af is on her way...
I did a cb digital test this morning which said 'not pregnant' after I had a positive on early response on Friday Confused is it too early to show up or is it all over....? I'm so confused/depressed! Xx

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 24/04/2018 12:49

@Mountaindreamer how far are you? I'm 5+2 and I had a not pregnant on CB 2 weeks ago but all other tests have been positive. Did a cheapo this morning and it was extremely dark so that's a good sign. CB is usually slower to pick up a positive so try not to feel too disheartened. Also remember that hormones will be making you more likely to respond emotionally to things. I'm really trying to remember this when I feel forlorn, and then take another look at the good things and remember it's not that bad. Hope this helps and doesn't feel patronising 💗

Mountaindreamer · 24/04/2018 12:55

@GoldilocksTheGraceless thank you for you reply. I'm 5 weeks today but my cycles are around 35 days long so I might have ovulated later than the apps think I have if that makes sense?! So I might not be so far along.
I might try an ic tomorrow morning and go from there.... it's just all so worrying! Xx

@applesauce I'm quite similar to you 7+3 and mild symptoms. Nausea now and again but if passes if I eat. Thought I was gonna spu this morning in the car after I took my multi vit on an empty stomach. I had a scan at 6+4 though with a heartbeat so I think we are the lucky ones.....!

@mountaindreamer first response detect as little as 6mol of hcg whereas cv is 25. It doubles every 42-72 hours so you might not have enough for cb to detect. Try again with another frer you should get a darker line if pregnant.

Thinking of the scans today good luck xx

Stargirl90 · 24/04/2018 13:19

I saw the heartbeat!! It was so amazing it was flickering away😍 they dated me at 7+2 and all is looking well , oh my gosh cant believe it, i am so relieved. Thanks for listening Star

Pampl3m0usse · 24/04/2018 14:02

balalala I've been thinking of you lots today hope all is OK.

congratulations everyone else on the positive scans.

I'm not ashamed to say I had a proper freak out on Saturday night about my lack of symptoms and my lovely dh booked me a scan an hour and a bits drive away and all was well. I'm about 7 weeks now and feeling pretty exhausted running around after my other three and my nursery class.....

duffed · 24/04/2018 14:49

Hello everyone, can I join in?

Currently 7+3 (had early scan), still in shock to be honest as wasn'tplanned, but this is DC2, so feel I should know what i'm doing. Have been sick as a dog and struggling to eat for past few weeks.

Today I managed a bread roll and some grapes!

Have already had a flurry of appointments as complex medical history but hoping for a homebirth again.

Hope everyone else is feeling good
