I yam what i yam graduates

Any ladies over here in the pregnancy boards from the ttc yammer board want to join Me?

I'm 4 weeks and just got my bfp yesterday and have my fx for a sticky bean x

Yay Sooz I'm glad you found your way here!

Thanks. I can't believe it! I just keep going and looking at my CB digital to check!

Thanks, All!

So, dish the goss. Once someone gets their bfp on the Yammers threads they often don't post about their pregnancy (thoughtfully), so help me out on how far along you all are etc.

I am due 28th Dec! I really didn't want a December baby, such sod's law! There are four December birthdays in my immediate family, including DH. He was talking with a friend today about the birth being "the best birthday present ever", bless him, so maybe a December baby isn't so bad!

Anyone else who's had a mc before this bfp - do you have a moment of fear every time you go to the toilet?! Every time I wipe I am literally steeling myself for blood. I'm hoping that doesn't last this whole pregnancy.

Congratulations Sooz!! Lovely to see you here.
I'm currently 30w. Had 2 previous miscarriages and can honestly say I didn't stop checking for blood on the loo roll until I was about 14 weeks this time! The anxiety has settled though.

@SoozC I'm 13wks today, I've got my dating scan Wednesday but lmp makes my EDD 28th October. I'm a nervous wreck, keep bursting into tears or having fits of rage. I'm still on pants watch and hate going to the loo as I'm struck with the "fear". Hopefully as long as everything is ok on Wednesday I'll calm down.

I'm 7wks with EDD 7th December.

I had a bit of brown spotting last week and have been in knicker watch since then. I'll hopefully relax a bit more once I know everything's ok at the 12 week scan (I'm not having an early scan).

I'm still fucking knicker checking Sooz 🙄it's a joke but I guess to be expected.

EDD 24th November for me. Epu did 3 scans, and we had a private one yesterday. Dp is in the US for work, it's less than a fortnight til we get married, and the extreme worrying was crappy, so we thought sod it. Next one dating a week after wedding.

I'm so glad we're all sensitive about bfp pix etc over there but it's nice to have here too. I'm so invested in so many yammers and don't want to piss anyone off.

Sooz, my dd is December, a couple of days before Christmas. Her elder siblings (twins) are a week before her, my dearest friend in the middle and her Dd too. So over the years it's worked out at a lot of gifts. But thus far my dd adores it. She gets so excited when the decs start appearing, thrilled by cheesy Christmas music and actively asks for Christmas themed party / activities. So not everyone hates it!

STILL checking my pants at 27 weeks.

Not sure it ever stops. Welcome!

Freaking out today, carried home a heavy bag of marking, then had some sharp pains this evening. I am so worried I'll miscarry - before all I was thinking about was getting pregnant but now all I'm thinking about is miscarriage! I'm second-guessing every twinge and keep reassessing my breasts to see if they're still hurting!

God, I can't wait until I'm 12 weeks and at least have got past last time and have had a dating scan and actually seen a baby rather than an empty sac. I know it doesn't guarantee anything but it'll make me feel a bit better.

Thanks, Milk. I guess I'm just fretting about every pain. Saw the GP today and she reassured me somewhat, she's ordered my 12-week scan and then I booked my first midwife appointment. I just hope I can get to them this time around! Last time our 12-week scan was on DH's birthday, not a nice reminder when the day came around.

How's everyone doing? I've been having cramps, breasts are sore on the sides especially when I take my bra off and I've been having mild nausea in the mornings. I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow!

Honestly? My sciatica is so bad I've had no feeling in my big toe since February. The heartburn is constant. Putting on my socks takes 20 mins.

Pregnancy is the absolute pits. But unlike the mental torture that is ttc - at least this has an end date

Oh, and I had HG. So whilst the puking has eased, it hasn't gone away.

Nothing about having a baby is fun

10 weeks tomorrow. Fairly constant nausea from 5 to 9 weeks, quite sore enlarged boobs. I've been so shattered, sleeping by 9 but up 7 times to pee. So difficult, I welcome the symptoms in one way but keeping things quiet is increasingly difficult when I'm yawning, avoiding anything that might make me sick and going down to the loos every 17 minutes. I'll be glad when the next scan is done and I can be honest.

Sorry you had HG, Nimble, I'm glad it's mostly gone. There is so much to grumble about when preggers, even though I feel I shouldn't as I know what the struggle of ttc is like! But it's human nature I guess.

Limp, I'm so pleased all is ticking along for you, still got everything crossed! I know what you mean about waiting for the 12-week scan. Mine's ages away and I'm keeping this pregnancy under my hat until then; I haven't told my best friends and cousin like I did last time. Just holding on until things are a bit more likely.

Yeah, I felt huge guilt about not being happy all the time, because ttc was so awful.

But now I accept both can be awful!

Ahh! Names I recognise from the other threads!! Congrats all! I'm now 18 weeks and still feeling sick...and also on knicker watch still, after a previous loss.

I'm due end of Sept, and as much as I love that I'm finally pregnant, I can't wait for this kid to be safely here :)

For the first time in my life, I want summer to pass quickly..!

Hi, Sense!

I know what you mean about wishing away time. I'm really wishing I was further along. I cannot relax! Felt really worried last night/today as had some vague af-type cramps. Not much and not consistent like af, but enough for me to worry.

I wasn't going to have an early scan but think I changed my mind. I'd like to see an embryo and the heartbeat! I don't want to tempt fate though, how ridiculous is that?! Might book for my 8-week date as that'll be past last time and also good chance of seeing something.

If I can wait 3 weeks, that is!!!

Thanks, Milk, I booked one for 2 weeks on Tuesday at 'Baby Moments' near-ish to where we live. Like you, I just want to see that heartbeat. I'll feel much reassured.

I'm only 5 weeks! I'd be 5 1/2 according to lmp but I'm 90% certain I ov'd on cd18 so calling it 5 weeks. I've been having more cramps this evening, makes me so distracted and worried, I hate feeling this way!

How are you doing? I've been busy looking for a house today; we'd really like to be moved into our own place before the baby comes but our lettings agents might not let us stay beyond July unless we sign another year rental! Just another thing to stress over.

We had a private scan at 8w this time, it was wonderful. Nearly didn't go for it after my mmc being picked up on an early scan and all the uncertainty around it but I couldn't wait for my dating scan at 13+3.
At 8w+3 We saw a tiny jelly baby looking foetus with a heart beat x

I defo feel better for the private scan at 9+1. Next one will be at 12 +4 which feels ages away, but I feel much less panicked. Still nauseous and starting to get a weeny bump already which is reassuring. I have had odd, not cramps, but heavy uterus, a bit like pre fp cramps, right since the start. Midwife adamant that is just a uterus swollen with blood. Also lots of twanging but I remember that from DD so trying to just ignore.

Sooz I work where I think Baby Moments is once a week, if it is near you we must be fairly close. Maybe we can meet up and compare bumps later on. We can carry Yams for recognition haha.
