July 2019 Part 3 - Still in the 1st Trimester!

[TwittleBee]

Starting a new thread as we near the 1000 comment mark on the Part 2 one!

It is nearly December and I am sure all we want for Xmas are healthy pregnancies and babies

Good luck to everyone still here and so sorry for how many we have already lost on the way

Here is a new, editable, link for the google Doc Register:

Going to be exciting when the 12 week scan photos start rolling in!

I'm tempted to buy some second hand from eBay this Time. Although gonna wait til boxing day sales and see if I get anything then

ReginaPhalange89 I never bloody found much in sales last time! Its like they know us pregnant ladies need it!

I am an emotional wreck atm, cried on way to work (happy tears btw) over a song! But now crying sad tears because a women in our ante-natal group (from DS) so doesn't like me and it is becoming more and more obvious in the group chats.

I ordered some from ASOS, but they're quite short in the leg, and I don't have long legs! I ordered some from gap in the end (with a 30% off code as they expensive!) And they're cut big, I ordered a size 8 and can't believe I'd need smaller!

I tried next, but most of the sizes are on a 3-4 week delivery, which is annoying because I like next jeans generally.

I also tried Mothercare, but they didn't have anything smaller than a 10 in stock.

H&M they only did over bump and I wanted under bump, but had some last time and they were great!

Most days im in a long t-shirts / shift dress / skater style dress so i pretty much LIVE in leggings. Im hoping that Leggings will give me a bit of grace..... at least up until Christmas!!

for those on here who already have kids.... when did your bump start showing?

Ah I definitely won't discount h&m then.
I live miles away from any h&m so can't pop in and try on either. It is really frustrating that they don't have any maternity sections in any shops.
I'm quite short @Laburna so they may be ideal for me.... I can't believe I'm 7+3 but already looking at these types of things... is it normal to need mat clothes so early?

@TwittleBee - poor you - what's her issue? She sounds horrid.

Onestep2 at 17 weeks I could still fit into my normal clothes but there was certainly something there beyond bloat. But I didnt pop out properly till about 20 weeks

ratherbeshowjumping not sure, I only first noticed it when she removed me from her social media. I assumed her previous sarky comments were just jokey. But she has become more blunt in the group's whatsapp and is like Ice when we meet up now. She also arranges a lot of meet ups without me. I havent the guts to ask her outright. I have such shit anxiety anyway, this is just making it worse. Today she tried to rearrange our Christmas drinks to a date I have previously said I couldnt do, i am sure it isnt coincidence.

@onestep2 with my first I didn't show really til 19/20 weeks and even then it could have been mistaken for too much xmas dinner lol. With my second I was in my mat jeans pretty early, had a proper bump at 14 weeks!
#3 I'm probably gonna end up a whale by 12 week 🙈😂

I loved Seraphine ones last time, they're not cheap but they are comfy and a really flattering fit on the leg. I'm going to dig mine out of retirement shortly ... I've already gone into bamboo pregnancy leggings over the weekend!!

Oh TwittleBee that's rotten. A big hug from all of us here, who love you already x

@twittlebee she sounds like a right witch. I just wouldn't acknowledge her when you all meet up. Don't even say hi ! Probably piss her off 😂

That's awful @TwittleBee -it doesn't sound like you need a friend like her anyway....!x

Thanks @bettyswoll0cks I will check them out :)

@TwittleBee says more about her than it does you lovely 💕

I'm fed up in work today so tired/nauseous and just want to go home and sleep.

Thank you ladies, means a lot to hear that all. DH just keeps telling me she is jealous but people arent really driven by that are they? I think I must have annoyed her somehow, not sure how though.

SnailorSwift oh bless you, long left at work? Any chances you could head off early?

Sorry @ratherbeshowjumping I was typing quickly. None of the normal trousers I own were comfy this morning, so I've ordered some from h&m!

Boohoo have 25% off everything today (not sure if it's just today) if anyone is interested, they have a decent amount of maternity stuff ! Haven't tried it yet but I do quite like their normal range

So sorry to hear of more loses. Looking after yourselves

I have been quiet but still following. Find it hard to keep up with all the messages! I am definitely in the few symptoms club and find I can’t relax at all!! I have sensitive boobs and a bit more tired but that’s all really.

Sorry that should say look after yourselves. Typing on phone!

Massively clutching at straws here but does anyone know if the bleeding stops, is that a glimmer of hope ?

Hope all those suffering with losses are doing ok thinking of you all

@5fivestar I had an early miscarriage in August (I was about 5 and a bit weeks) and once the bleeding started it didn’t stop for 5/6 days so based purely on my experience I’d say that stopping bleeding should be a positive ((hugs)) fingers crossed

I need maternity clothes too! I’m so bloated and I’m so short that both previous pregnancies I’ve looked full term at 6months! Never really found any maternity clothes I like hence why I need more

5fivestar how many weeks are you again? Could it be implantation bleeding? I had bleeding at 5 weeks which lasted a couple days. When i had my scan to check all was okay I was told that implantation bleeding can occur as late as 7 weeks. My sister even had it that late with her 1st pregnancy actually, she was really freaking out about how much she bled.

I’m 6 weeks, it’s definitely subsiding

Am seriously considering going to bed with my legs clamped shut. I hadn’t considered for a moment there was a chance if survival but the midwife phoned and said she’d test again in a week and I thought what for and she said it’s not out the question even with clots 😣
My head is frazzled now

Fingers crossed for you fivestar!
