Thanks @HugeAgeGap xx

I'm new here! First time mum and had an early scan today. Measuring 7 weeks exactly and due on the 25th September.

I dont really have any symptoms other than fatigue and the odd pang of nausea. Sends my mind in to overdrive!!

ShiningStarz · 07/02/2020 20:13

@MGF91 congrats!! Most of us have hardly any symptoms! Welcome to the club 😊

ShiningStarz · 07/02/2020 21:31

Hi everyone!
I’m panicking a little as I’m bridesmaid 3rd week march!! Final dress fitting is 1st week March.
I’m super bloated!
I’m hungry though but I think I’m just eating too much! I’m drinking lots of water. I’m size 10 but struggling to button my jeans now ☹️

For those of you that are eating normally!! What’s everyone eating in a day?!

ChipsAreLife · 08/02/2020 09:03

I'm really bloated too. Can't really be in my jeans past 3pm as it get worse over the day. Bought a lovely floaty dress which is my new best friend so going to get some more.

Still feeling sick and absolutely exhausted all the time. Just praying I get some energy back soon as being a crap mum!

Can't wait to get my 12 week scan date through and have something to look forward to and hopefully see everything is ok.

Oh forgot to say average day I'm eating cereal for breakfast, sandwich of jacket potato for lunch and then something really plain for dinner like chips. Really unhealthy but it's all I fancy. Drinking loads of water but gone off tea, coffee, squash etc

Thanks @ChipsAreLife
I had a yoghurt with some ground seeds this morning.
No bread!!!
Think I’ll do jacket potato with salad for lunch and bowl of soup for dinner. Carbs are the enemy 🙈

Sunshinexx95 · 08/02/2020 13:56

Oh wow guys I am so craving jacket potato now thanks to you hehehe I will go home and make myself a really delicious one Wink

ShiningStarz · 08/02/2020 21:25

ChipsAreLife · 08/02/2020 22:13

Hi can i join? Im 7 weeks and due on September 23rd. Im tired all the time and started getting nausea all day long since week 6. Ive gone off so many foods but not a jacket potato! I cant wait to have my first scan, ive booked a private for when im 10 weeks.
Has anyone started telling the big news to other people?

Roxy8203 · 09/02/2020 09:09

Hi @Lilice and congratulations.
I'm 10+2. Told a couple people but not many, not even my brother knows yet

Sunshinexx95 · 09/02/2020 10:34

Hi everyone
How r you guys feeling today?
I am feeling a bit tired... and I am wondering
Is there anyone waking up in the middle of the night due to cramps? It feels like period cramps.. I have been waking up for the last few days with a lot of cramping .. I guess it is normal.. but why in the middle of the night hehe

ShiningStarz · 09/02/2020 11:07

Congrats @lilice
Welcome to the group. Iv only told obviously my partner and a very close friend! I think I’ll break the news to my family in mums Mother’s Day card, I’ll be 15 weeks then :)

It’s quiet on here! Everyone must be chittering on the Facebook group.

@ChipsAreLife I had cheese on it 😋 In the side baked beans, beetroot, peppers, red onions, cherry tomatoes and avocado 😋 my plate had all the colours of the rainbow! Almost!

Morning @Sunshinexx95 iv had on off period like cramps past few days but think today I’m ok. Don’t worry it’s all the growing and pulling that’s going on!!

pangolin84 · 09/02/2020 17:47

Hi everyone - I’m new too! I think I’m 6+6 today, EDD September 28th. Suffered early loss around 6 weeks last year so am hugely anxious this time around. Attempting to rationalise and tell myself it’s out of my hands. Have booked an early scan for next week when I’ll be 7+6, just to know whether everything is ok in there. Have had tender boobs but it’s quite on and off. Occasional cramps but they seem to have disappeared now. Past few days have felt a bit queasy but not sure if it’s true MS or my mind playing tricks! Just praying for good news at the scan...

ShiningStarz · 09/02/2020 20:50

Hi @pangolin84 and congrats.
I too had a MC last year, a few of us on here have.
It’s hard not to be anxious but try and stay positive. You have good signs. My boob soreness comes and goes too, the scan will definitely put your mind at rest x

ChipsAreLife · 10/02/2020 10:22

Welcome @pangolin and @lilice!

How was everyone's weekends?

I feel so tired and starving today. All I want to do is watch Netflix in bed but doing company finance stuff 😪

I just want all the food today. Not meat or veg still. Just saw a pop ad for dominoes and now want that 🤭

Have had to move my scan back 9 days as DH is away for work so have bloody ages to wait now!!! Luckily Feb is carnage as DH away most of it so being on my own with the a 3 and 5 year old will keep me busy!

How's everyone else doing? X

@ChipsAreLife Will it be your 12 weeks scan? I cant wait to have mine, ive booked a private one (with the harmony test) and have 2.5 more weeks to wait but I cant wait anymore im so impatient! Id like to break the news to my parents but im worried of their reaction.

Sunshinexx95 · 10/02/2020 15:08

Hi everyone
How r you feeling? :)
@ChipsAreLife I am also feeling hungry all the time but I don't feel like eating anything 😭.
I am having my 12-13 weeks scan on 6th of March so in 25 days.
I can't wait but same time I am nervous.

ShiningStarz · 10/02/2020 15:22

Hi everyone,

I’m feeling very hungry too!

My next scan is 3rd March, I’ll be exactly 12 weeks. I’m nervous and excited too!!

@Sunshinexx95 I’m excited and nervous too! So long still to wait!! 3 weeks 😩

MrsRL · 10/02/2020 15:31

Hi all, can I join.

Just had my early scan today. A good heartbeat and measuring at 6w5d. General nausea and rubbish appetite, but not feeling too bad other than that.

ShiningStarz · 10/02/2020 18:04

Congrats @MrsRL 🥂

pangolin84 · 10/02/2020 22:12

My appetite has completely disappeared! I’m having to force myself to take a lunch break at work. My DH had to finish off my dinner last night because I could only eat half of it - this is unheard of! Still, at least this means I won’t be the only one piling on the pounds over the next few months Smile

Lorna198 · 11/02/2020 08:47

Hi everyone. Been reading this for a few weeks. Awesome following your stories! This is my first time and due to OH being chronic with worry I got an early scan on Saturday. Showed a healthy heartbeat and it calmed him down! Currently at 9+4 weeks and 12 weeks scan is on 26th.

Hope everyone is feeling ok. I’m one of the lucky ones and haven’t had a hint of sickness. Feel like I’m eating food all of those that aren’t haha

ShiningStarz · 11/02/2020 12:12

Congrats to all the ones who have just joined.

I’m feeling a little crampy since yesterday, they’ve been coming and going.
I’m 9 weeks today! Scan last week was great.
Next scan 3 weeks today... I think I’ll go mad before then! Seems a lifetime away ☹️
