Hey everyone,

Hoping there will be some people moving over here from conception like me who just got their BFPs.

I’m currently 3 weeks and 5 days - feeling the bloat already and tiredness! Scared but excited :)

Could only see an Aug/sept bus and I’m a little later as my EDD is 18/09/2020

Did try and join the September bus that’s already on there but was lost in translation or something šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø As nobody wanted to chat, feeling a little lonely as the girls on the conception boards were so lovely and wish I had someone to move here with!

Anyway I’ll try and start a new one here and see how it goes :)

@B0220s Oh ok so you're a bit further along than I am (4+3), which would explain my lack of nausea! :)
I've read online that nausea is a sign of a healthy pregnancy when it shows up between week 6-8! So that's a silver lining I guess hah...
How are you coping at work?? I'm a bit worried about throwing up during my working day in a couple of weeks...

I'm also getting more spots (mostly on my chin) - so far a new one every day as well (hence I've got 2 atm lol). But they're actually big nasty white ones as well! Confused

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 15/01/2020 07:01

Definitely getting the spots. I got spots anyway but mine are appearing in places I don’t normally get them like my hairline. Very annoying.

I’m getting nausea but nowhere near as bad as with DD but I didn’t know I was pregnant until much later. I’m expecting it to just keep getting worse between now and about 12-15 weeks. I am looking forward to it in a weird way because I’ll feel pregnant then.

I’m 4+6. I’m going to ring my doctor tomorrow to make an appointment with the midwife.

@mimmi91 I have heard they say that however my last pregnancy my sickness was really really bad from before I even found out I was pregnant and sadly resulted in a miscarriage at nearly 12 weeks, my sickness only subsided a couple of days before the bleeding began, however I'm hoping in a good thing that I've not felt as bad this time until two days ago! I work for my partners company so mainly at home so I'm lucky in that sense, but I do have horses and seeing to them is really hard work how I've been feeling!
@BeingATwatItsABingThing
The spot thing isn't a usual thing for me, I mean sometimes maybe every few periods I will get like one spot sometimes two but my face is covered lol I have 9 spots from forehead to chin in different places lol šŸ˜‚ my partner joked yesterday saying I could start doing a dot to dot haha he is not wrong lol!
I'm glad other people are feeling the same symptoms to a degree, I'm really desperate for this pregnancy to stick, it's taken so long to conceive again I was starting to give up hope lol!
I'm hoping the next couple of weeks go smoothly for you both and the sickness doesn't hit too bad because it's an awful feeling!
Xx

Morning all- I'm also getting spots when I usually wouldn't, what happened to the glow eh??? I've really not felt nice at all in myself. Not any nausea but just feeling really heavy and bloated. I think my boobs getting much bigger is contributing to that! But even my trousers are feeling tighter which surely can't be possible yet... 🄓 (I'm 5+3).

Has anyone else's work really kicked off this January? It's mayhem and all I want to do is curl up at home on the sofa watching series šŸ˜‚.

Trying so hard to be positive but also feeling anxious everyday that something bad will happen. Time is going so slowly!!!!!!

K8113 · 15/01/2020 10:28

@Flossie333 reading your post is literally exactly how would explain how I'm currently feeling. Time seems to be going so slowly.

I'm getting spots and I am sooooo grumpy, my poor other half I'm really being so snappy, not helped by getting in the car this morning to find the puppy had been sick last night and I hadn't realised and needed to clean it up ... the joys! If I didn't have morning sickness before I sure do now!

Anyways happy Wednesday! Another day closer :) xx

Flossie333 · 15/01/2020 10:37

@K8113 ah I'm exactly the same. I am not a crier and found myself in floods in front of my boss last week.... the emotions are definitely running high lol!

Are you going to do any early scans at all? Xxx

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 15/01/2020 12:33

@Flossie333

I’m a teacher and my class seem to be on some sort of high at the minute. I might have to tell my TA sooner than I’d like as I’m getting waves of nausea. She might need to take over while I throw up!

Sunflower2019 · 15/01/2020 12:40

Girls just a quick one, will catch up later but things must be progressing well as got this on clearblue today šŸ’œ

Hi all - for some reason notifications got switched off on here for a while so only just catching up. I'm feeling very similar @Flossie333 and @K8113 - boobs so sore, bloated and feel like some of my leggings are getting tight around the waist already. I've also been having nausea on and off for about a week. It was pretty bad yesterday and day before but today not so bad, no idea why but I'm just going with it. I think it's natural for it to come and go. I'm sometimes super hungry, other times all foods repulse me. But I am also getting cravings. I find if I nibble on something the nausea will go away temporarily :)

Flossie333 · 15/01/2020 13:32

@Sunflower2019 that's great! 🄰

mimmi91 · 15/01/2020 13:41

@Sunflower2019 that's great! How far along are you?
I'm a bit nervous about taking a digital, seeing that my cheapies aren't yet as dark as the control line (probs normal as I'm only 15dpo or 4+3)
Do you take a digital every 2 weeks then?

K8113 · 15/01/2020 14:18

@Sunflower2019 eeeeeek that's so exciting! I might go get one this afternoon and have a try! Xxx

K8113 · 15/01/2020 14:54

@Sunflower2019 I just ran out to Tesco after seeing your post GrinšŸ’• I'm sooooo happy to see progression!!!!! Thanks for the idea!!! Wow amazing what this can do mentally mind a little more at rest Xxxx

Flossie333 · 15/01/2020 18:15

@BeingATwatItsABingThing gosh that's tough - hang in there!!! How far along are you?

@IslayBrigid sounds like you're managing it really well. I could do with being repulsed by food for a few days haha- I honestly want to eat everything under the sun.

Is anyone needing to sleep in a bra? Mine are so sore I'm sleeping in a very soft sports bra. I just bought a new Sloggi one for nights which is meant to feel supportive but like you have nothing on. Annoyingly none of my day bras fit and I look ridiculous. Annoyed to have to be shelling out Ā£ for new bras already. Does anyone know if your boobs continue to grow throughout pregnancy or is they taper off? šŸ˜‚ xxx

K8113 · 15/01/2020 18:21

@Flossie333 hahaha your comment about boobs is so accurate and also Jesus bras get expenny! I hope they don't keep growing otherwise I'm going to need a portable contraption to get around hahaha! I'm boobs ache like nothing else but have been easing off! Xxx

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 15/01/2020 18:31

@Flossie333

I’ll be 5 weeks tomorrow. I’m going to ring up and make my first appointment tomorrow. I keep waiting for AF to appear. šŸ˜•

Sunflower2019 · 15/01/2020 18:56

@IslayBrigid I’m the same! Symptoms are weird atm.

Thanks @Flossie333 :)

@mimmi91 I’m 4 weeks and 5 days :) have spoken to drs and should have midwife app in the next 3 weeks :) xx you?

@K8113 yay!!! Such a nice feeling isn’t it ā¤ļø

Sparkle0920 · 15/01/2020 19:06

@Flossie333 I hear you! I didn’t really have any symptoms other than peeing a lot until a couple of days ago and I can definitely feel my boobs are sore now! I slept in a sports bra last night and it was so much more comfortable- it’s still weird because part of me thinks am I making them out to be worse than they are so that I’m comforted by having a symptom, yet they definitely are sore! 🤪

I should be 5 weeks tomorrow too @BeingATwatItsABingThing! Do you have any symptoms yet?

mimmi91 · 15/01/2020 19:10

@Flossie333 my boobs are a bit sore and heavy too. But it's mostly the nipples!! They have become HUGE!! I look like a cow šŸ˜‚ The worst moment is in the shower, because the water pressure makes them sooo sensitive!!

@Sunflower2019 I'm 4+3 today! So that means I could also do a digital soon and get a 2-3 weeks reading??

@BeingATwatItsABingThing my first appointment is on 12/02 :( aaaages away!!! Don't know how I'll handle the wait...!

K8113 · 15/01/2020 19:15

@mimmi91 my midwife appointment is on the 11th and I literally feels like it's an age away!!!!

Yeah I did a test today I'm 5 weeks today and it came up 2-3 my other half can't get his head about how it says 2-3 weeks but really it's 5 🤣 he doesn't get the whole first day of last AF situation haha!

Xxx

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 15/01/2020 19:59

@Sparkle0920
Nausea, spots, slightly sore boobs, going to the loo a lot and feeling bloated. AF was only due last Monday so I’m still early days.

@mimmi91 I know mine won’t be until about 7 weeks because that’s when they offered me last year before I had my EMC. I’ve been putting off ringing this time because I don’t want to jinx anything.

This is my progression with fr tests
