February 2019 part 3

[Bluebeee]

Part 3 already! And there is a split in the group. Hopefully everyone joins on this one. Shall we try and get a list of due dates going? I'm also interested to know where people live if they'd like to share. Not sure what other info would be needed. Also if anyone wants to join the fb group let me know.

Bluebeee EDD 10th Feb/ dc2 / Swindon

I've always had a big tummy even when I was slim so I already look pregnant but I did before I was :/
I'm nine weeks today which feels like an achievement. I def feel happier on wednesdays when I know I can tick off another week before the 12wk scan!
I didn't really have any symptoms yesterday apart from falling asleep on the sofa at nine but I'd had a busy day! I'm almost hoping for some today but I've got loads to do so maybe not!

Got my 2nd scan this morning I am super nervous!

Reckon I'm
Around 7 weeks. Last time 2 weeks ago we managed to see that heart beat so FX all
Is ok today tooo

Just worrying about symptoms and that but I know they do come and go so got
To put that out of my mind

So jeleous of you ladies that are showing already. Ive already lost 3kg. I keep looking at my stomach willing it on to grow to give me the reassurance.

Im starting steroid treatment next week so hoping that helps. 🤞

Feel a bit werid stroking a concaved stomach 😂😂😂 want something there to feel.

Ah, all the bumps look amazing! I feel so bloated and only 7+3 today! I feel like everyone can tell just by looking at me!

I had a strange thing happen during the night, I woke up absolutely freezing and shivering so much, wrapped myself up in the duvet, still shivering like mad. Woke up a few hours later dripping with sweat but still shivering! So strange, this morning I feel normal again (well with the MS), but apparently it can be a sign of low bp? Anyone ever experienced this?
It did make me panic but I've had no pain or spotting.

Was worrying a bit yesterday as after a few days of feeling terrible and a tiny bit of spotting I felt ok yesterday but this morning the nausea & wretching is back in full force.

Is anyone else struggling with drinks? It seems drinks make my nausea so much worse, particularly in the morning. I can just about sip a glass of water but it need to be ice cold. At least I'm not actually vomiting so at least whatever I get down me stays down.

How funny, love the bump photos! This is me last year at 39 weeks (sexy outfit also includes pair of husband's jeans...). I didn't show til about 5 months last time, feel like that is definitely going to change this time around

Feel like I have a UTI. GP offered me a telephone appointment - because THAT'S helpful! Why can't I just leave my wee somewhere and then they fill in a prescription if I need one?! Probably going to go to Guy's walk-in centre and hopefully be on my way with some antibiotics. It's hard to know with all the various pains whether it is just 'normal' pregnancy stuff or other things but the pain has been there for a few days now.

I also started getting super sharp stabbing pains in my left knee yesterday! I was wondering if it was gout... FFS, as if I didn't have enough going on!

AND uni keep hassling me about some form and I just wanted to cry. I basically got in a massive muddle and was totally wrong and now feel stupid. I keep making really stupid mistakes/errors/omissions. Did something very similar at work yesterday, managed to really put my foot in it by not thinking something through and ended up really pissing someone off :( I just want to scream I'M PREGNANT LEAVE ME ALONEEEEEEEEE!

@dragonflew I've had shivering/cold since about 3 weeks I thought I was ill before I got a positive test. It comes and goes but is worse in the evenings when I'm tired and had a busy day. I have low BP midwife said it was linked nothing to worry about. I try to avoid exerting myself too much as its not very nice but is an easier symptom of low BP to deal with then the dizzyness and fainting!
Small regular snacks will help keep it a bit more stable.

Scan all went well.
Baby is 8w exactly and heart beating. Just hope this is the 3rd time lucky charm

Congrats @Alicejj8x. Glad it all went well x

@Alicejj8x that's amazing!

@twiglet thank you, I was so worried. I was over tired as worked late last night. But with my other 2 pregnancies I suffered from high bp so never had this issue before! I'll have to wait until my first mw appt to check bp but I have severe white coat syndrome so no doubt it'll be a false reading anyway ha!
But good to know it's nothing to do with baby!

@powkin unsure if you can get to a pharmacy. But they can dip your wee and perscribe anti biotics for you there. Unsure if they will when you are pregnant but worth a shot before waiting for ever in a walk in centre.

Thank you ladies. Just goes to show that even if symptoms do die down doesn't mean bad news.
Thank you loves xx

Great news @Alicejj8x

@MrsY87 thank you was a ball of nerves at first
Never made it past 8 weeks so here's to hoping

@Alicejj8x do you mind me asking if you had scans previously and then had a bleed etc.

Not being nosey just being paranoid!!!

@Baby160P ask away my lovely

So my last 2 MMC cause I'm under the fertility clinic they like to scan you every 2 weeks

I never got past the 6/7 week mark
I never had any bleeding at all.
The last MMC I lost all my symptoms and I just knew something was wrong it was a feeling I just couldn't shake off and i was right. I found out I was preg like when the clear blue said 1-2 weeks!

My first MMc didn't know I was preg till I was 10 weeks. But we lost the baby at 6 weeks.

So glad to hear about your scan @Alicejj8x. Everything crossed for you that it carries on smoothly.

Trying but failing to stay positive here. I caved and booked another early scan this afternoon at 5.30, just couldn't bear the idea of waiting until Monday to find out if something is wrong.

@MamaSarai thank you so so much

Ahh hun maybe that's for the best thou to cam your nerves I think.
I have everything crossed for you and keep us updated. Xx

@Alicejj8x thank you. I have everything crossed for you xx

@Baby160P thank you
How are things going
For you? X

Thanks @Alicejj8x will do x

@Alicejj8x all fine this end. Symptoms come and go except the breast sensitivity which is constant! Nausea on and off but today's it's been all day.

We had a early scan Monday which was private just for reassurance and saw the babies heart beat. ❤️We were 7 weeks exactly.

I've just been really nervous Incase anything's goes wrong as a friend recently miscarried so I think it's worried me! 🤞🏼

Also ladies I'm a bit stuck about a hen do I'm on next weekend. Not only am I going to have to come up with an excuse for not drinking we are also doing an "it's a knockout" style competition and there's a hot tub at the place we are staying! It's like a gauntlet of terror for a pregnant lady! Though I could say I had a water infection which would get me out of drinking and the hot tub but not sure about the knockout! I only know 2 of the girls going and o will (hopefully!) be 11 weeks by then so thinking of just coming clean! Any ideas?!!

Oh my days! I literally cannot stop peeing!!
