June 2019 - The Early Birds

[SassehMonsta]

Hello there,

A new thread for those who are due in June 2019. The Early bird catches the worm! Or, in my case, the sickness.

Feel free to introduce yourselves and make yourself at home.

I'm Sarah, 28, and currently super-early into my pregnancy at 3+1. This will be my second child, and I have in the past, and currently still do, suffer from HG (severe morning sickness).

So come one, come all, let us start our journey with sticky thoughts! Welcome, to the June 19 bus!

@Torsz glad you’re feeling ok (minus the sore throat!). I feel good, trying to stop squeezing my boobs every 2 minutes to check they’re still sore x

I’m so sorry, @OrcinusOrca. Will be thinking of you.

@SilverSister oh no that sounds awful! I had something pretty similar yesterday due to needing a stronger dose of folic acid than you can buy over the counter. GP receptionists seem to be very blasé about speaking quietly for privacy .

I thought symptom spotting would stop once I’d conceived - apparently not! Not sure if my boobs hurt because I’m constantly groping them or because of hormones! 😂. I’m definitely more gassy than usual but other than that I’m fairly symptomless. I am only 4+3 today, so hopefully everything’s going well. X

Anyone else still poas?! Have done every other day all week on IC to check the lines are getting darker 😂 I don’t want to wish myself sick but at least if I was I’d feel better that the hormones were doing their thing. My boobs are a little sore and my lower back is sore , I’m really tired. Asleep by 8 last 2 nights but I can’t help but worry. It’s far too early for me to book an early reassurance scan (4+6). I wanted to try aim for the 8 week mark just in case my dates are slightly off then we’ll see heartbeat ect and avoid having to go back as too early . That’s still 3 weeks away. Early pregnancy is such a worrying time, I’m worried I’m pushing my luck with number 3. We’ve got 2 healthy children, no losses and I’m scared, scared to believe this actually could be happening after trying for 10 months .

@Napssavelives ironic that you’d ask about POAS! I’ve just done two! A Poundland cheapy and a cb digital. I like watching the lines get darker and the weeks go up on the digital, makes me feel like I have some sort of control!

I feel you on early pregnancy being such a worrying time & wanting more symptoms!

@SassehMonsta sorry you are feeling so rough hope you are feeling better soon.

@orchinusorcha so sorry take care of yourself.

My arm is sore after the flu jab yesterday but glad I got that sorted as soon as possible as it takes 2-3 weeks before you are covered fully from it.

@OrcinusOrca I am so sorry to hear this. Please do look after yourself.

@Napssavelives Also with you in the pushing luck thing! Also have two healthy children and no losses. It makes no sense to feel something could be wrong the third time I know but I have all the same thoughts!

@Blondcat Yes to the sore arm! Also had flu jab yesterday.

Early pregnancy is so tough, it's hard not to wish the days away to scans/appointments etc but then again I know I'm not going to do this again so I really really want to enjoy all of it as much as possible (even if I'm in bed by 8 each night 😂)

Hi everyone - has anyone else been for their scan yet?

Went to the doc's yesterday, I've known I'm pregnant for 3 weeks but put off having the scan to have more chance of seeing the heartbeat.

I could see the embryo but there was nothing else. Doc said it's probably just that my dates are out and the embryo isn't as old as I think. But I'm paranoid that there's a problem!

I haven't really had any symptoms apart from tiredness, but I didn't with my last pregnancy either, so there's nothing to reassure me that everything's ok. My dates were a week out last time round as well so maybe my eggs just take a long time to implant?

Someone put my mind at rest please! Going back to the doctor in 10 days and I don't want to stress myself out worrying in the meantime!

And so sorry @OrcinusOrca, I hope you can get some rest over the weekend and look after yourself

Thanks for the well wishes - I had 4 bags of fluids yesterday and hoping to go home today. Just waiting on the ward to be discharged now, hopefully all ok. No scan or anything but private scan booked for next Friday (8+1) - I may get a scan before I leave, I may not! Nothings particularly fast moving here.

I hope the rest of you are doing ok - I have some nice meds to take home with me, and a note to my GP that he can prescribe more of the same. I can also add cyclzine to it if needed.

So I decided to go for the scan. Very happy I did. One baby seen (well one blob) One heartbeat seen. Happy mama 🙌🏻

Oh I’m so glad to hear that, @pollykins151.

@SassehMonsta are you home yet? One week till scan isn’t too bad. I can’t believe how much the last two weeks have dragged though.

I’m terrified because I already have sciatica and it’s so early on. I have a bad back and developed sciatica in my twenties, but have kept it at bay through yoga. For the past decade I’ve had back pain but not pain through my sciatic nerve. I’m scared of how much pain I might be in for the rest of my pregnancy now.

7 weeks today! So bloated I feel VERY FAT. Am also a bit fat though so probably doesn't help 🤣🐷

Yep I'm home - Well, out doing a food shop with DD but discharged!!! I'm hoping I left my meds in the car otherwise my lovely Sainsburys hamburger lunch may reappear..!!

I have known for 3 5 weeks and they have been the longest weeks ever, except maybe the week before DD was born

Oh @OrchinusOrca, I'm so sorry to hear that.

Thanks, @KateTheHuman! What's the name of the FB group?

@napssavelives, I have peed on four sticks so far. Initial BFP was fairly faint so did another to reassure myself it was real. Then bought a double pack Clear Blue normal test + digital test which I did this morning. Going to save my last stick for middle of next week before I talk to my boss (for various reasons I need to tell him early).

Weirdest thing I've noticed yesterday and today - until my BFP I was doing the 5:2 diet and generally calorie counting but have now stopped - and am also hungry every two hours - but I'm still losing weight! What's going on, body?! Never thought I'd worry at seeing those numbers go down...

Oh @OrcinusOrca you poor love, I'm so sorry. Please take care of yourself xx

So sorry to hear that @OrcinusOrca. Look after yourself xx

I’ve just had some bleeeing, bright red but not that much. Kind of like the beginning of a period. Never had this with my last pregnancy so really paranoid now, hopefully it won’t be any worse.

Evening all. I was due my period today, took a clear blue and got
Pregnant 1-2 weeks, wasn't FMU so I'm happy. No sign of AF, boobs are sore as hell and i am very hungry.

I use an ecig, quit smoking 4 years ago. This pregnancy was unplanned, so I swapped my ejuice to zero nicotine yesterday and plan of getting rid of the ecig altogether come
Monday. The mood swings are horrific, but I had a miscarriage 3 months ago and don't want to risk anything.

Hello everyone!
I’ve just got my BFP on a digital after a day and a half of tweaking real squinters. This will be DC3 and I’m waiting for DH to wake up so I can tell him.

Congratulations @TeePeeCee and @CollyWombles 😀

Congratulations and welcome newbies!

@Kimbishop86 how are you doing? Any more bleeding?
