@Onestep2 just feeling slightly in denial. Trying to be positive but keep thinking well I was pregnant last week I wonder if I am now. Just very hard! X

ohmybaby · 08/11/2018 11:36

@delilah7 I had a down day yesterday, today fine.... suspect hormones! Do all you can to be kind to yourself today Flowers

Ladies, thank goodness I’m not the only one with the hot cold thing! Can we talk symptoms?? I can’t stop eating and TMI but I can’t stop peeing either and the dreaded constipation has already struck 🤦🏻‍♀️

Can I also ask... as this my first DC (c is child, right?) I’m scared to have sex. There I said it 😂 any advice? I’m still cramping intermittently although it’s calmed down since the 4th week and BFP on Sunday (5weeks that day). Just makes me nervous!

Onestep2 · 08/11/2018 11:36

@delilah7 aw hun Flowers its completley understandable after what you went through recently and all those memories and feelings will all still be raw and playing over and over in your head!

have you anything you can do to distract you? maybe make a list of things to do each day to try and keep you focused? Get out for a bit for a walk and fresh air? Just try take it one day at a time and think of all the positive things!! do you have a midwife appointment or scan booked? (i cant remember if you said you did)

Onestep2 · 08/11/2018 11:39

@ohmybaby whats the sex thing again???? Grin

to be fair we have done it a few times but not in the last week, poor DH i think is getting a bit frustrated. im too busy spewing and feeling sick and tired to be getting my freak on. hahaha

Delilah7 · 08/11/2018 11:52

@ohmybaby I'm trying. I just don't wanna be all down because of what happened before! I can relate to sex thing. We haven't had sex since I found out incase it makes me bleed 😂😂 thanks for your advice lovely.

@Onestep2 I'm just finding it hard to separate these pregnancies you know... that's such a good idea. I do the housework and cooking etc but it doesn't distract me enough. I have a midwife appointment on 30th and scan next Thursday! Xx

Hi folks, I was in another thread but realised I wasn't in this one! According to my app I'm 5+3, due 8th July. Meeting my GP tomorrow and looking into the possibility of booking an early scan on 26th which will be 8 weeks and my dads birthday, have already planned on telling my parents that night, I bought a "Happy birthday Granda" card for him. It'll be the first grandchild in the family so we're ridiculously excited. I know it's early to tell people but I figure anyone that I would want support from if it doesn't go well should know. If I last until the 26th without saying something I'll be doing well!

Onestep2 · 08/11/2018 12:13

@delilah7 its completley understandable that your feeling a bit anxious and emotional about everything. Hopefully once your passed the point that it happened you can maybe start relaxing and im sure that your scan next week will reasure you that everything is as it should be!

@cathyj87 welcome! that is such an amazing idea about the happy birthday card! i love it! its my mums birthday at end of November.... now considering stealing your idea coz i love it so much!

Delilah7 · 08/11/2018 12:14

@Onestep2 I am passed that point I was early last time. Very early. And I found out this time I was pregnant the same time I miscarried last time x x

HchyScott · 08/11/2018 12:31

@ohmybaby oh god I’m exactly the same with symptoms!! Can’t stop eating I’ve already put on 3lbs so I’ve got to rein it in! It could be in my head but I’m sure if feel queasy if I haven’t eaten in a while. Also too scared to have sex...DH must be too because he hasn’t so much as touched me since we found out, I’m too worried!!

Frazzlerock · 08/11/2018 12:44

So much to catch up on properly!

To the ones going to the gym I'm jealous! I'm too terrified to do anything let alone gym work. I'm a keen runner and have stopped. My rational head knows that exercise is actually beneficial in pregnancy but try telling that to my irrational side!

Re sex, that is another thing that worries me but I have read up on it and apparently it is totally fine unless you have been told otherwise by a medical professional or if it is a multiple pregnancy (not sure why). I was worried an orgasm would be too much for baby's heart but apparently it actually makes them feel happy - which I feel slightly awkward about!

Symptoms wise, I am very jealous! Although I need to learn to get a grip as I think my boobs have started hurting again. I just went to the shop and picked up some bread but I nearly dropped it and caught it against my chest and yup, the bruised pain was deffo there!

I just wouldn't mind some nausea to put my mind at rest.

Re weight, I have kind of lost a bit of weight but my belly is HUGE. My digestive system is fucked. I was very constipated until yesterday when I had the biggest poo that anyone has ever done (my dignity on this thread has now died), and today I have a very er 'loose' belly plus feeling a bit sick. But still hungry and still bloated despite not much left inside me...

Isn't this a joyous time guys! I can't wait to update DP on my bowel movements Grin

cathyj87 · 08/11/2018 12:44

Haha @onestep2 work away! He may end up getting it early if I can't hold out!

I'm not too queasy yet thankfully. I started the I Quit sugar program literally 2 weeks ago in an effort to kick start my PCOS body to get pregnant haha so trying to stick with it for now in an effort to be more healthy but so far I've lost 3 or 4 lbs, despite the amount of cheese and bread I've been eating to compensate lol

MrsC87 · 08/11/2018 12:44

Hey ladies, got my BFP Tuesday with AF due tomorrow/Saturday. Line on frer is getting darker by the day.
According to app due 20th July next year!
@Onestep2 Thankyou for inviting me from another thread to join!
@Delilah7 hello again 😜💕

Frazzlerock · 08/11/2018 12:55

@cathyj87 there is definitely something to be said for watching diet with PCOS. I fell pregnant after cutting down hugely on dairy, sugar, and gluten. It was tirelessly dull but I knew it wouldn't be forever and boom, pregnant after 4 months. The DC took me 2.5 years for one and 11 months for the other.

edidxb · 08/11/2018 13:09

Hi all. The thread is a very active one! Just caught up from last night and today!
I am sooooooooooo tired today. I could have fallen asleep at the traffic lights when I was driving home. But unfortunately I have to go back to work tonight for a function/event and I am not up for it at all!
@Frazzlerock - loving the TMI. I was the same - terrible constipation for about 5 days and now I have also had a massive bowel movement a couple more smaller ones and I feel a lot lighter!
@ohmybaby and @hchyscott I have also not had sex since the BFP and am slightly scared too. I have also been really unwell the last week with bronchitis so it would have been impossible but I don't want to jinx the pregnancy. Last time we didn't have sex but then we did and then I miscarried and my logical brain does tell me there is no correlation but I can't get past it. However, I don't want to say that to DH either so once I am better I will just have to get over it!

cathyj87 · 08/11/2018 13:11

@frazzlerock 4 months is great! I heard good things about gluten and dairy free too so that was next up after I got to grips with sugar. This was my first month tracking CM and just started BBT after this months ovulation. I think that's why it's not sinking in that I'm pregnant, we were so ready for it to be a long journey and a fight for it to work essentially the first time just seemed too good to be true

Onestep2 · 08/11/2018 13:19

@frazzlerock OMG i am dying with the orgasm thing!! well to be fair am pretty sure we all want happy babies eh??? hahahaha

my diet is also all over the place, i lost 3 n half stone to squueze into my wedding dress and now im like fuck it. baby wants carbs. im scared to even go near the scales after honeymoon and after eating shit for the last week. meh.

Delilah7 · 08/11/2018 13:25

My mums a coeliac ( gluten free ) it took her a year each with my brother and sister as she didn't know she was one and with me it took her a couple of months on her gluten free diet!

Frazzlerock · 08/11/2018 13:27

@Delilah7 that's really interesting!

Delilah7 · 08/11/2018 13:28

@Frazzlerock they thought I was one but I've got pregnant twice in 6 months so! I doubt I am!

TwittleBee · 08/11/2018 13:35

Haha I actually got scared about having sex this morning Frazzlerock I keep thinking what if the sperm start nibbling away at the baby because they wanted to fertilize an egg. Crazy right? Needless to say I was too distracted by that very odd thinking to orgasm hahaha!!!

Delilah7 · 08/11/2018 13:37

I'm so worried about bleeding and miscarrying after sex it's awful

TwittleBee · 08/11/2018 13:39

Regarding the diet talk... I actually was severely ill over the summer, recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and lost so so so much weight. Thankfully I am currently just over the borderline of having a normal BMI. But cycle before I fell pregnant was when I started my meds for it and adjusted my diet a little to help my condition. Cycle I conceived I put on weight and got out of being classed as underweight. Think there is certainly sonething to be said about diet and conceiving on both ends!

Laburna · 08/11/2018 13:40

@frazzlerock I've been the same things have definitely settled in the digestive track the last 24 hours following some, errrrrr, mighty deposits 😂🤣

I started my progesterone last night, not sure if that's helped at all 🤔 my sickness doesn't seem too bad today, although I had indegestio after a sandwich.

Everything seems to be settling, which obviously means my brains gone into overdrive as to whether that's a bad sign or not 🙄

TwittleBee · 08/11/2018 13:46

Btw... on TMI... anyone else been having a stupid amount of EWCM? I'm kinda worried about it actually

Frazzlerock · 08/11/2018 13:46

@Laburna 've been taking progesterone since our BFP. I've only got enough to last until reach 12 weeks though. How much did you get? Fingers crossed it's our magic er... 'bullet' to a healthy baby Grin

@TwittleBee that sounds horrendous! Yes I agree diet helps on both sides
