God the dreams are weird aren't they. So vivid. My DP actually looks forward to hearing what's been going on in the morning. Obsessively thinking about hcg levels so took another digital this morning that thankfully said 3+ (I'm 6 weeks by lmp tomorrow but 5+2 by ov I think) so that's put my mind at rest.
Randomly felt sick at bedtime last night but all ok now. These early weeks go soooo slow. Love to all, and hope the sickness doesn't ruin your weekends xx

Morning girls !

I've got a dull ache in the bottom of my back today. Has anyone else had this ? Not sure if it's anything to worry about ! Also not sure if I've just over done it as I've got people visiting today so been scrubbing the house as well as putting the tree up 🙈

Hey Regina. I've had that with most of my pregnancies (although not this one!). I envy your ability to scrub and put trees up 😩 I haven't got out of bed yet and I'm currently crying into a cheese sandwich. I hate cheese normally...

I’m in bed too trying to decide if I can face food or housework. In fact I’m wondering if it might just be easier to torch the place & start again...

@birthdaykake that's reassuring thank you ! Haha oh I'm sure I'll be at that stage soon ! Nausea hasn't kicked in for me at all yet , I'll be 6 weeks on Monday so I'd bet it kicks in then ! Thought I'd better get the place sorted before I can't leave the bathroom lol

Hello all,

I'm just poking my head in the door as I need some help with a thread I'm going to start for all of us whose babies have left us.

I just spent over an hour going through all 4 of our threads and pasting the names into a Word doc but my laptop bloody shut down and I lost my work - fucking typical of my luck right now

Can you remember who I have left off this list? I am sure there are lots more of us:

Ratherbeshowjumping
BettySwoll0cks
Rose
TwittleBee
Frazzle

I feel terrible for not remembering

Also, I have been writing a blog since our first loss, little Emily, left us in 2016. I have written a new post if any of you want to read it (though I understand if you don't as you all must be on tenterhooks right now)

Anyway, it is here if you want to look:

I also just realised that when I started this thread I was so certain this would be our good luck thread

Good idea Regina. Sorry didn't realise you weren't quite at 6 weeks x

Oh Frazzle I've just read your blog. It's so sad :( I really hope you get answers this time x

Oh Frazzle that was such a heartbreaking read but also so relatable too.

Btw, our little bean has been sent off for testing too but it's only our 2nd miscarriage ? Is that unusual as I spotted in your blog they do it for #3.

@TwittleBee I think it depends on area. I think the usual is 3, someone told me their area is 4!

Thank you both for reading it. I find writing and sharing my words very cathartic. I've written quite a lot since 2016

I used to find the same Frazzlerock with the blogging. Really therapeutic.

Btw, just want to say, lovely to read through since I've last been on and see some positive scans and lost of symptoms! Xx

@Frazzle I just want to give you big cuddles. I’m impressed by your writing especially as it’s still all so new. 💕

A little update from me after my symptoms seemed to have lessened and feeling better than ever energy wise. Went for a reassurance scan today and saw a heartbeat and imeasuring 7+1 which is a day ahead.
For those who worry about symptoms it just shows every pregnancy is different x

That's super news, MrsC87! Also reassuring to hear, I've been poking my boobs almost hourly. 😂

Great news @MrsC87 I worry about my varying symptoms on a daily basis and keep changing my mind about going for an early scan or not. X

Great news @MrsC87 ! I'm doing a happy dance for you x

Good news, @MrsC87! So pleased for you x

Thankyou ladies 💕 how is everyone else feeling? x

😴🤢🤧

Yep. Sick sick sick. SO depressing. And this is our rainbow baby after losing one in October.

@frazzlerock beautifully written and completely heartbreaking. Good luck on the journey ahead, you're so incredibly strong. You'll have your rainbow baby x x x

Had weird stabby pain low down in my tummy on the right this morning when I sneezed. Then reoccurring but less painful throughout the day just randomly. Hope that's not anything to worry about?! I'm 9+4 today.
No exciting dreams for me, probably because I'm not actually getting any sleep!! So so tired but can't seem to drop off for more than an hour or two at a time. 😴

@TheScaredyKat Is it towards the groin and sometimes a dull pain? I'm 9+4 too.

My dreams are just more vivid then normal. Especially when I dreamt about giving birth to twins.

I'm zapped for my energy today. Been on the sofa all day with no energy.

I've also been very low on energy today, between bed and the sofa. Feeling seriously nauseous and (sorry tmi) gagging but no actual sick. No or little interest in food - even the left over doughnuts! Full of brain fog and simmering frustration at having been like this for over a month now. When I take a step back, of course I'm delighted and everything, but at the same time I also just want to cry sometimes.
