May 2019 (or late April 2019) due date

[ByThePond]

Anyone else?

I have quite long cycles but using OPKs, I have a rough idea of when I ovulated and have just got the faintest of lines. So 30 April or 1 May for me! Eek.

Preggers not prefers !

@Shazafied she sounds like a negative Nelly! What a douche

I'm just amazed I hadn't received a follow up apology message !! Weird. Husband says maybe jealous but she has one child and only ever wanted one.

Ah well, I'm off to eat a vat of pasta before the baby wakes up !

People are funny, you never know whats going on in someone else's head. Sounds like she might be jealous though, can't see why else she would be so negative. Pay no attention anyway. It actually has a heartbeat very early, well according to the apps I've downloaded which are showing me what 5 weeks looks like. Have a look at 'Sprout' and 'Pregnancy+' - these are the two free ones I downloaded anyway, making it feel quite real and amazing and exciting, you'll forget about her negativity.

Enjoy that pasta, I think you've helped me decide whats for lunch!!!

Thanks @fadgadget I'll take a look xx

@shazafied sounds like jealousy to me!

Anyone else feeling super emotional?? Can't stop crying all the time. ☹️ I mean my little dude is starting reception tomorrow and I do feel sad but this is ridiculous does anyone think pregnancy could he causing this? Feel totally ridiculous!

@minnierose3 yup, feeling very tearful even though I'm generally not sad !!

Hello and congratulations @earlybirdhasanap and @Gsygoddess544! In interests of full disclosure @earlybirdhasanap and I have just found out we're on round 2 of being pg buddies - we met on a MN antenatal thread when pregnant with our DDs! They were both shite sleepers as babies so I think we must both be mad doing it all again.

My DD is 2 today - waaaahhh where has my little baby gone?! Feeling a bit bad I'm feeling sick on her birthday but she's had a good day so far at the play park and having a birthday lunch out with me and her grandma.

@fadgadget I'm 6+5 and the sickness just started to hit a few days ago. My cousin is in her third trimester and had zero symptoms throughout the first so try not to worry if they don't kick in!

@Shazafied, wow - not exactly sensitive comments to a pregnant woman! Does she have a history of putting her foot in it?

@Penny04 sympathies, it really is grim isn't it? It's only really eating that helps for me. Last time I ate a lot of breadsticks and ginger nuts! I remember drinking a lot of ginger beer as well but I don't really know if that helped, all I know is I haven't been able to drink it since as it now makes me feel nauseous due to the association!

Wow interesting formatting given I didn't bold anything while typing that!!

I'm 6 weeks today. I also am just getting the sick feeling if I let myself get hungry, so my plan is to eat small amounts but often to always keep something in my stomach. I try to eat right before bed because I do keep waking in the night due to hunger (and needing to pee!) but I might start keeping some crackers next to the bed or something from now on!
@fadgadget how far along are you? I've heard from a few ladies about not getting sickness at all through their pregnancy so I wouldn't worry, maybe you're one of the lucky ones :) (my positivity tells me I'm going to have one of those pregnancies!)

Here's to another two years of comparing shit sleep patterns @seeingdots.
And hi to everyone else. Exactly 4 weeks here, already feeling sick and very tired. Although this could be because I'm going through a full caffeine withdrawal?

@purplestar9 only around 5 weeks (I think) so plenty of time yet....!

@kiltedsheep well done! Glad to be of help 😆

@fadgadget I'm 5 weeks tomorrow. No nausea yet really but my new fave food is tinned spaghetti and sausages 😆

I've had a migraine come and go over last 3 days. I'm prone to the anyway but this one seems particularly persistent 😡 really can't be missing work lots

Hi everyone - how exciting!!!!

Hey hope you don’t mind me joining. I’m 5 weeks today with my 2nd. DS has just turned 12 months, took a year to fall pregnant with him so we figured it would take a while this time round but it happened as soon as I came off the pill. Still on mat leave so a bit nervous about the reaction when I go back to work & tell them I’m pregnant again. I’d like to go for an early scan before I go back to work to put my mind at rest.
I’m feeling massively bloated & very sensitive in my tummy. Think the sickness might be starting too. I look pregnant already, think my tummy muscles have just given up already 🙈

@starmist I'm also 5 weeks and on mat leave with a 9 month old !! Also bloated and also tried for DD1 for 3yr, but conceived this time on the first cycle !!! Also nervous of telling work lol. Welcome x

Hello everyone, how are we all? I am absolutely exhausted. Could fall asleep at my desk by the time I get to 2pm every day.

@fadgadget I am 6+4 and haven't felt sick at all so don't worry too much. Hoping it stays away.

Shaza hi due date buddy . It’s funny how it’s happened so quickly the 2nd time isn’t it. I reckon not being stressed with TTC & work must have had a massive impact. How have you found people’s reactions to you saying ur having a 2nd? PIL were so not bothered by the news, it’s really upset me. FIL said congratulations but it was very flat. MIL asked if we’d had the scan & if it was common knowledge (she’s always paranoid she’s the last to know things). Then she started moaning about how tesco have stopped stocking her favourite butter. That was literally it

@kiltedsheep I guess I am a bit concerned people will suspect but I’ve made it really clear to everyone that I’m on mirena coil so can’t get pregnant. No one will suspect I’ve been mad enough to take it out haha.
@Shazafied what a rude and wholly nasty thing to say to someone-
Let alone a friend, someone you are trusting with your special news. Some folk can be plain insensitive - our babies may only be small but they are our babies, whether that is a collection of cells or not!

Welcome 👋 to all the new ladies with their BFP.
I’m some where between 6-7 weeks as my dates are a bit squiffy due to my mirena removal and no subsequent period or bleed.

I’m seeing the midwife tomorrow that will make it very real, managed to get a cancellation x

@Starmist I’m sorry your PIL weren’t more excited for your news! There is no pleasing some folk. I’m sure they will show more enthusiasm as time goes on. Chin up!

Not sure what to expect from my in-laws- they can be a bit odd with their outlook on things! Also worried MIL will tell loads of people as she can't keep her mouth shut. But can't exactly tell DH we aren't telling his family yet as I've already told mine

DH didn't react well even tho we were ttc. He hoped it would take longer ☹️ he seems to be coming round to it tho, but his reaction really put a dampener on it

@MrsReader that’s really tough... try not to be disappointed that he is not jumping around. Men can be funny and it can be a big shock for them even if you are trying. It’s like Yay all the sex and then boom - going to be a dad! In that instant everything has changed.
Also had the same issue with my DH family. MIL can’t hold her water for shit and tells everyone everyone else’s news like the town crier. We have made the decision to keep this pregnancy on the down low for as long as possible. In regards to your in laws do what feels right for you x

Thanks @UntilTheVeryEnd 🙂 I think I'll have to tell them unfortunately! I will personally tell her to not tell a soul, and hope she listens to me!!

I can't wait to tell my friends, I doubt I'll last till the 12 week mark haha!
