Late Jan - all of Feb 2022

[PoodleOodle]

Is there a group for us mamas to be? If not, join one and all, let's get this started...

[minthumbugs]

@OliviaGrace15 me too! I wish it was so easy. My first pregnancy was ectopic so when I had my LO it felt really tainted. Thought my next after that would be nice and easy so I didn't expect to miscarry at all, now tainted again 😩 I'll be testing as soon as the tests arrive 🙈 Amazon says any time in the next 3 hours, I am both thirsty and need to pee but I am neither drinking or going to the loo yet, hope it's sooner rather than later 🤣

[OliviaGrace15]

@1ogansmum I am not telling anyone for as long as possible I told everyone as soon as I found out last November so feel like I jinxed it, I know that's not the case at all but I think I'll wait until my 20 week scan tbh unless I get really sick and need help with the kids then my mum may get told earlier, my partner and best friend know but that's just incase I need support if the worst is to happen again, but it won't 🤞 xx

@minthumbugs awh I'm sorry to hear about your losses, it really does make the next pregnancy so much scarier like I literally feel like a mad person right now, my friend keeps saying ooh how exciting and I'm just like "well yeah if it happens" 😅 ah bless you I remember being like that, let me know how your test looks I bet it'll be amazing 😍

[minthumbugs]

I want to wait as long as possible too @OliviaGrace15. Don't know how well that will go! 12 weeks seems a bit meaningless now so think I'll be with you around the 20 week camp 🤞🏻 although to be fair I can't even think that far ahead yet. What age are your kids? X

[OliviaGrace15]

@minthumbugs I can't even see past 6 weeks yet a day at time is all I can manage, my daughter is 6 and my son is 4, they're birthdays are Feb and march so will 5&7 not long after baby is due, no idea where the time has gone, I feel like they're still babies, It will be nice though i think because they will be in full time school so be alot of one to one for baby, do you have any kids? Sorry I can't remember if you said so or not xx

[minthumbugs]

@OliviaGrace15 I said that to my partner last night - I can't see past more than one day at a time at the moment. Aww lovely! A nice age gap 🤗 I do, I have a 2 year old. X

[OliviaGrace15]

@minthumbugs yeah I think it will be a lovely age gap, they will be so protective of their baby brother / sister, I'm just abit afraid of twins because my mum is a twin and my partner's dad is a twin 😂 awh my niece is two I bet it's flown by hasn't it, that will also be a lovely age gap they will be so close x

[minthumbugs]

Twins really wow @OliviaGrace15 imagine!!

I'm a bit worried about the test, it hasn't reassured me at all 😩 I think I'm definitely more than 4 weeks based on my dates and the test is still too faint I think. X

[1ogansmum]

@minthumbugs do you use any tracking apps, some people are really weak maybe a clear blue would show better. I am sure it will be fine! X

[OliviaGrace15]

@minthumbugs don't read too much into the lines beaut, last year my test was super strong and there was nothing but an empty sac so I really don't think the tests are everything, a line is a line, maybe tell your Dr you don't know how far along you are you might get a free scan? 😍 Xx

[minthumbugs]

I was 1-2 weeks on a digi yesterday @1ogansmum, going to try the other FRER on Sunday and see if it's darkened and keep my other Cb until before my scan! 🤞🏻

@OliviaGrace15 yeah it's my app that says 4 weeks today! What are the chances that I decided LH and BBT were too stressful this month and stopped 🤦‍♀️ I have a scan booked in 2 weeks today at the EPAS. X

[OliviaGrace15]

@minthumbugs I'm sure all is perfect, that's great about your scan, i really want to message my dr for one but i know what she will say, it's so hard in these early days not knowing whats going on in there, i wish we could just take a peek x

[Lollipop25]

Hi all, hope it's ok to pop on this thread🤗 I had mc in 2009, DD 2010, DS 2012 and another mc in feb this year. Just got BFP this morning, due date should be 2nd feb if this little one sticks. Think I'm still in a daze. Have just bought digitals to confirm🤞

[OliviaGrace15]

@Lollipop25 Congratulations! you're due a similar time to me im 3rd feb :) sorry to hear abour you mcs, i had one last november so fingers crossed for us all this time, how are you feeling? x

[minthumbugs]

Congratulations @Lollipop25. Were you on a TTC after MC thread? I think I recognise your username! X

[Lollipop25]

@minthumbugs yes I was😂. I rem your username too🤗 🤞for happy healthy pregnancies .I took a digital, wasn't fmu so will do another one tomorrow morning but it's positive anyway so that's a good start

[minthumbugs]

I thought so @Lollipop25, I'm so happy for you 😘 I'm 1-2 on CB as well, trying to wait it out a few days to hopefully increase 🤞🏻 so nervous!

[PoodleOodle]

Oooh lots of us here now! I think I'm due around last week of Jan, got midwife booked in 3 weeks time and going to book an early scan. My boobs have started to get really sore, which is 2 weeks later than with my 1st pregnancy. No other symptoms except wind and cramps.

How are you all?

[OliviaGrace15]

ahhh so excited for us all! I'm ok @PoodleOodle feeling tired, slight bit of acid reflux and sharp pains if i move too fast, nothing major, how about you? x

[littlelionroars]

I am feeling rotten today! Terrible heartburn and absolutely exhausted. My throat is a bit sore too, not sure if that's a cold coming on or just part of the heartburn.

My boobs are also starting to hurt and swell up.

I suppose it's good that I'm feeling these symptoms but I had the day off with DS today and feel bad because I really didn't have the energy to play with him properly.

Goodness knows how I'll cope when I'm further along 😅

[Lollipop25]

Aw that's a rough start @littlelionroars. If I remember correctly hopefully that exhausted feeling should ease a bit. I'm waiting patiently for the boobs to become more tender 😆 they were worse on my other pregnancies. Don't have many symptoms really, few waves of nausea, a bit tired (I'm always tired anyway😂), I have noticed periods where I'm really warm, like if I had a temp but I actually don't 🤷🏼‍♀️

[1ogansmum]

I am on my first week off having to make up reasons for not having a drink, luckily I’m not a big drinker but it’s not the best 🙈 xxx

[Lollipop25]

😂totally know what your talking about @1ogansmum. It's my birthday today and my birthday present from my sister was alcohol and my MIL sent down a bottle n my husband bought me some😆 he's roaring laughing since he came home cos now he has to drink it🙈 since I popped the news to him. I'm a cocktail lover so I'm just goin to make the cocktails without the alcohol when anyones around , they'll nvr know 🥂🥂😜

[1ogansmum]

That's why my sister ended up telling me she was pregnant as I bought her a bottle of Prosecco for her birthday and it made her cry haha xxx

[Lollipop25]

😂the poor girl.

[OliviaGrace15]

Same here I've been invited for drinks tonight and I'm just gonna pretend the kids are playing up and I can't get away 🙈 and then my birthday is in 13 days and I know someone is bound to buy me a bottle of wine! Anyone got any symptoms today? X
