March 2019

[BunLovinCriminal]

Hello all! I got my BFP this morning at 10dpo and am apparently due 1st March with my third baby. Now feeling that familiar paranoia about what might go wrong, but hopeful all will be well. Is anyone else due in March yet? 😬

Oh @BeautifulSlang I'm so sorry! Feelgutted for you. You stuff your face with pizza and wine and do whatever you need. Thinking of you xxxx

@BeautifulSlang So sorry ☹️ life is so cruel sometimes. I agree that you should keep testing. The internet cheapies I get say they are the same the NHS are supplied with and I get negatives on those when CB and FRER are positive. Don't want to give you false hope but it is still worth checking. Take time to grieve and enjoy that pizza and wine and then keep going. Thinking of you xx

Thanks @MurphyRocks. No, it was a urine sample, she didn't even mention having a blood test.

Thanks @SuperSharpShooter82 & @RedRobin7 xx

I will continue to test each morning until I get a negative x

Oh Beautiful I'm so, so sorry! Can't imagine how you must be feeling. You look after yourself and eat all the Domino's you need to! Sending huge unmumsnetty hugs to you xxx

So sorry to hear it. Dominos sounds like an excellent idea. I know it doesn't make it any better, but these early days are so uncertain for everyone, especially with the ability to test so early. Very tough. Sending hugs and hope you have success soon

BeautifulSlang I'm so sorry nothing any of us say will take the pain away but give yourself some time and I found talking about it helped a lot.

Sorry to hear that BeautifulSlang this ttc business is such a rollercoaster. Hope you get a sticky one soon x

Morning all.

Hope you are OK @Beautiful - still thinking of you.

I have had some tiny spotting this morning. Enough to bring back all the old feelings when bleeds happened in my last pregnancy and make me cry in the toilets at work. So hard to concentrate at work and now I'm on knicker watch. I also feel weird and sicky - kind of nauseous, like I have to burp if that makes sense?!

I hope everyone else is doing better than me!

Sorry to hear that @SuperSharpShooter82, hopefully just a little bit of spotting and I thing to worry about. Have you called the GP?

Super hopefully the sickness is a good sign and the spotting is normal - can imagine it must be playing on your mind constantly though!

How is everyone doing in this heat?! It's 29 degrees here and I'm melting! I actually cried last night to DH because I was so tired but just couldn't get to sleep, our bedroom was like an oven in my defence . He's just text me to say he's been to Homebase during his break to pick up an air cooling unit, bless him!

I have a GP app tomorrow morning to get me referred to the antenatal ward so if it persists I can speak to them then, so far nothing more and hoping it stays that way!

Ahhh good DH you have there @First! I am OK with the heat as my office is air con but the tube at the end of the day is hellish!

@thefirsttimer bless your dh isn't he sweet?! Touch wood I've actually been sleeping OK so far, just glad it's not 3rd trimester! I was 12 days overdue in the heatwave of June 2016 and all kinds of miserable!

Glad there's nothing else @SuperSharpShooter82, hopefully just a bit of implantation spotting.

@BeautifulSlang I'm so so sorry, I experienced the same once and it's heartbreaking. Thinking of you.

Glad there's been nothing more Super - worth mentioning when you're seen if it does persist though.

Murphy that sounds tough! Definitely going to be counting my blessings that it will be winter by the time that stage comes around, that's for sure!

My DH is certainly in the good books today! Looking forward to a cooler night's sleep tonight 🤞🏼.

Hi @Bun! Been wondering where you had gone! How are you getting on?

@thefirsttimer yeah I'm definitely grateful that I'll be doing 3rd trimester in winter this time, although harder for maternity wear!

I'm doing the "6am wake up thing". Much less nausea today. Phew. Sorry to hear it @Super.

Whoops. So much for waiting. Just told the parents but denying this to hubby so in laws don't get told yet.....oops

@SuperSharpShooter82 aw that's nice :)
I've been exhausted and getting a bit overly paranoid about things not working out so trying not to obsess too much on the boards. Have booked a scan for 7 weeks to try and stave off the worst of the worry. Agh.

How's your nausea tonight? I get the same thing, but at really random times through the day.

Hello everyone who's arrived since I was last here and sorry to have been MIA! X

@BunLovinCriminal I can understand that, it can be very all-consuming! I've been getting some exhaustion and nausea too, but mostly at night which I'm grateful for since at least ds is asleep!

@frankiefumbles yeah I told my best friend today and will be telling my parents when they come to stay on Monday! Dh thinks I'm jumping the gun telling anyone but for me the people I'm close to are the ones I'd lean on if I suffered a mc at this point so don't see a problem with telling a select few. Very personal choice though.

@frankiefumbles @Murphyrocks I told my best friend today - first person we have told and several hours later she text me to say she'd just got a positive on a FRER! She's had 3 miscarriages and I've had 1. It's nice we are pregnant together this time and go through it together. Just really hope it works for us both otherwise it's going to be hard for the other. I do feel bad I've told a friend before family though!

@RedRobin7 wow congratulations! Its lovely having someone close to go through it with, a good friend if mine sent me her 13 weeks scan photo on the day I'd got my bfp for DS! Our kids are now 24 and 26 months and it was lovely comparing notes! Don't think there's any need to feel guilty, I'm close to family but it's not the same peer relationship which is what you need in these early crazy days I think!

Wow Red what amazing timing for you both! Don't feel bad about telling her before family, it will be such a lovely thing for you to share together!

I've also told one of my best friends who is also pregnant! She's 16 weeks so quite a bit further along but it's still been lovely having her to chat to the last few days. I think I said the other day too that we've told my parents already, but not the in laws yet. Think the plan is to wait another couple of weeks if we can!

@Murphyrocks Aww that's nice when they're close in age! I was pregnant at the same time as my sister, we were only 3 months apart... she's due tomorrow so that's been hard but so happy for her and hopefully if my second pregnancy sticks there will only be 8 months between my nephew and this one. Finger crossed! Will also be so lovely if my friend and I have children growing up together. We have another friend about to start IVF so we hope she will be joining us soon too!

@thefirsttimer Aww that's lovely too! There's not that much of a gap if you think about it in terms of once your babies are here growing up!

I'm thinking of telling my family this weekend but really don't care about the in laws lol. I know my DH will insist everyone finds out on the same day 🙄 Just means some people will have to find out over the phone!
