July 2019 very early days

[edinburghlass1991]

Hi I thought I’d start one
This will be dc3 and I have dd6 and ds2 Edd 6 July 2019. Wish I was 12 weeks already!

Frazzlerock I am glad you have started getting symptoms, hope they arent too bad but keep about to ensure you find some sort of comfort from them (seems odd saying that lol!)

edidxb whenever DS is blocked up I make him eat prune puree with yoghurt. Might help you?

ratherbeshowjumping tbf it was after dinner too so might have made it look worse as it was a carby dinner. Glad I am not the only bloater though! Seems so bloody early to be this big though

Someone has started a July 2019 Facebook group?!

Sorry totally off topic, just noticed in the pregnancy board

Twins perhaps? 🤞🏼

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling bloated though.

I'm working from home today & DH is off sick with what I suspect is still a headache from a god awful hangover man flu & I can't help but look at him enviously sprawled out on the sofa.

Feeling so sick, then when I don't feel sick, I want to feel sick and worry why I'm not feeling sick, then when I am feeling sick, I wish I wasn't feeling sick 🙈

yeah i noticed that too, i think I would rather one be created by us lot though? Also super worried about ID coming out of it

@Laburna I have (before I joined MN) but I dont think you're allowed to promote them.

Uuurrgggh, I just had the most awful thought sweep over me.

I was looking through Instagram and looking at all the happy people (I know, I know its only an outside view). I suddenly got this horrid feeling because I've been so miserable for the 2.5 years following our MCs when DP refused to try again. I made everyone's life hell as I was so depressed, I was pretty much suicidal.
Looking at people on Instagram and seeing them with their healthy babies knowing full well they've never experienced babyloss (at least the ones I know) and they are so happy, and I just thought... I actually don't deserve to have a baby because of how miserable I was, and something awful is going to happen to this baby I feel like bursting into tears.

What is wrong with me!?

ratherbeshowjumping if he perks up make sure you remind him to do any chores as you cant touch the chemicals now you are pregnant (it is what I tell DH, in fairness to him though he flips if he sees me doing anything remotely dangerous now lol)

@Frazzlerock I haven't got one, but I couldn't wear it yet anyway - too many people I know from my son's nursery/church/old work get the same train!

@Laburna oh yeah, just had a look.

As @TwittleBee says, I'd rather have one just for us.
although last time I joined the 'Due in Sept 2016 one, I had to leave that was a double kick in the teeth. I'm reluctant to join one yet for that reason. I'm already freaing out about having to say goodbye to all you lot when (if) things go wrong. And then watching you all have happy healthy pregnancies. God I'm a right mess this morning . I need to get a massive grip. Monday morning blues maybe...

dont blame you Frazzlerock might be worth us waiting till we all had a 12 week scan at least? So that should be roughly mid Jan?

@frazzlerock I'm with you on all of that. I don't think you're correct in thinking you don't deserve the baby. It is horrible to go through all that, there's so much grief to deal with and no way to really cope with it when others are inadvertently shoving in your face their happiness. There's nothing wrong with being that sad and it certainly doesn't make you undeserving! Am also having a bit of a Monday morning blues of thinking it's just a waiting game until something goes wrong. I think it's unavoidable when you know the stakes and know it's happened before etc. Half the stuff going on I feel I didn't go through with DS either, or at least I don't remember it being such a big deal. Every twinge and pain, I keep logging and wondering if it's normal, and every little sign or symptoms I've had before I'm analysing to check if it's still there or going away. I even had to go out and buy some more aspirin yesterday because I have managed to convince myself that the ones I had just started which were a different brand are not working and I needed to swap back!

I am slightly weirded out that people start groups and then just ask people to join, guess it's something I'd never do myself so I find it odd others would. 🤔

@Frazzlerock I'm sorry you are having all these thoughts. It sounds like it is completely normal after everything you have been through.

To be honest, I have had similar thoughts but for the complete opposite reasons - it was very quick for us and so it's been hard to process without that monthly waiting game and wishing each month and then finally it happening... it was more like oh my goodness it's happened already how do I process this and now I have the guilt that I don't deserve it and something will go wrong because it has been 'easy' and I haven't been through everything that a lot of you have been.

I suppose what I'm saying is that everyone will have their guilty feelings and their worries and torture themselves for their own reasons. I don't know why we do it but we do seem to for some reason whereas we should instead try and learn to be a lot kinder to ourselves somehow

Thank you all, it's comforting to know I'm not the only one.
Maybe its the apprehension of this Saturday's scan and knowing I still need to get past 9 weeks before I can even begin to think this might actually work out. I just wish I could fast forward past 9 weeks. Like in that film, Click. Just once, you know?

Three more weeks to go....

Morning gang!

Agree with Twittle, Frazzle and Laburna on FB groups.

Constipation - one of the MN articles says dairy helps (as long as it's pasturised). I've been guzzling a Actimel and it did help, as well as all the veg.

showjumping exactly the same as you on the nausea, that cycles just runs and runs with me. ☹️

First morning today when I haven't woken up with a start from a creepy vivid dream with my heart pounding. That must be a good thing. But the spiteful monkey in my head asks 'is that a decrease of symptoms? 🐒

Quite a few cramps today and more nausea. Also suddenly massively overgrown nails and eyebrows. Might just be that I haven't paid enough attention being unwell or maybe it's the supplements.

Frazzle you poor thing, completely understand and it can be hard to get out from underneath that sort of thing. I sometimes think of it as going through the darker colours of the rainbow, and that you need to do it do put together the whole thing. 🌈

I'm going to visit a friend and her one year old today, our children were meant to be only 6 months apart and although I adore her little one it sort of stings sometimes. The spiteful monkey in my head definitely has views on that! 🐒

I have just ordered my baby on board badge from TfL. Feeling both excited and like I might have tempted fate. Next up today - to work out what it is I need to do with kegels...

Hi, may I join please?

Due around the 12th of July which is my daughters birthday, but my last 2 was prems so really nervous this time around.

@StargazyDrifter your kind words brought tears to my eyes!
Good luck with your friend today, can totally understand how you feel I'm glad you've ordered your badge, though don't expect it much before 10 weeks! Until then you may have to just keep rubbing your tummy and looking faint when on the tube

Welcome @Beckanne90 there is a list somewhere, though no one seems to be adding themselves recently. If you can locate the last updated one and add yourself then that would be fab. I may look through later on and add the new people.

I think nausea is back again (its so elusive!). My mouth is soooo dry though, I'm starting to worry about GD which I have never had before in 5 pregnancies!

Hi mummys....

Not much to report about today, I had a nice Sunday lazing around with DP cuddles and an afternoon nap... Wouldn't mind one today too!!!!

No nausea yet for me just lower back pain and tiredness...

Tomorrow's my first doc appointment they do an early one here I'll be 5+2 so we'll see if beans in their sack and there's a very small possibility of hearing a heartbeat 🤗 or two 😯😵

Hope everyone's OK and feeling better and hello to our new members lots of Bubb as in the making

Thank you will add myself now :)

Beckanne90 welcome!

Isnt it odd to think that those that will be due end of July should have DTD that will get them that BFP but they will still be in their TWW!

Had an awful morning at work. And to sit in the team meeting wearing a massive jumper to hide the bloat bump trying to not gag and die of heat. I ended up focusing so hard on my breathing to stop me puking that I made myself look like an idiot when I missed my directors cue for me to talk.

Hope everyone else's mondays are going well

What are everyone's thoughts on alcohol...? Meeting up with friends tomorrow and really don't want them to know as one friend currently going through IVF. Do you reckon a one off wine spritzer is ok to throw them off the scent or could that cause any harm?

Just got my 12 week scan letter, 20th December - it’s made me so excited!!! And we’ll be able to tell people at Christmas with scan pics too 😁 🤞

@TwittleBee I know! They are probably agonising over symptoms right now!

@pancakes22 I wouldn't but only because of my experiences. I am too scared to even sniff caffeine! I understand that one small glass of wine might be acceptable but that was when I was pregnant 2.5 years ago and things change constantly.

@Brainfried1986 that is AWESOME news! I hope we all get ours before xmas! You're a week behind me so I'm hoping I will get mine before xmas...

Ugh. So jealous of all you people with scan dates.

I have to see my midwife and then she books all the scans.

At least it'll be a short wait. Although it's a week Friday I see her so not long now!

pancakes22 have a small wine spritzer, I dont think anything that small could do much? How far along are you again? Im pretty sure that our babies are self containing until something like 5 weeks anyway?

Brainfried1986 ah so exciting!!!! I should have mine come through soon then!

Frazzlerock is a funny thought! And look at us still agonising over symptoms too haha

Hope all goes well friday Laburna
