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...

@Bundaberg84 it's a really strange feeling isn't it, hopefully it's all a positive sign though 😊 x

@OliviaGrace15 yes, hopefully 🙂🤞

Hi @cyclogoose. I did eat something, but seemed to take ages to take effect. I had to have a lay down in the end, which resulted in a nap! Was quite scary but felt better for it.

Agree with everyone saying appetite has gone. Not like me at all, love my food! Wanting to drink lots though which I suppose is good!

@Foxy1303 I'm the same, no appetite but always thirsty, got a feeling sickness is around the corner 😬 hoping it doesn't get too bad, I had hg with my first baby x

I really feel like the odd one out here! Every other pregnancy I've felt rotten basically from conception and exactly like all of you guys but if anything my appetite has increased 😬

@foxy1303 and are you feeling all better this morning?

@minthumbugs I am sure that every pregnancy is different lovely. Everything crossed for you.

I've already had 3 pints of drink this morning and dry as Gandhi's flip flop.

My allergy snivels have gone away though so I am starting to worry a little.

Have a good day one and all!

@minthumbugs I've heard increased appetite is a symptom too, it can go either way 😊 xx

Last night before I went to sleep I had red spotting. I almost cried. There was nothing over night though and also nothing so far, just the usual brownish spotting. Hopefully it was because of the internal ultrasound yesterday noon. No cramps or anything.
I don't have any pregnancy symptoms so far, I hope that still doesn't mean anything is wrong. Just tired and boobs hurt a bit when I touch them. I think they are a bit bigger than last week, but maybe it's wishful thinking ;)
I googled way too much yesterday night. Each time I read something about brown spotting and a positive outcome, I found another that didn't have a positive outcome. Drove me mad! I won't google anymore. Or at least I'll try.

5 weeks and 4 days and nausea hit with a vengeance yesterday! I had it bad last time to the extent I was put on tablets, I don't remember it starting this early though.

Morning girls 5w today! I don't feel pregnant at all, think I would feel better if I had some symptoms just a constant worry! I have got my first app for July the 5th so that's something :)

@Bundaberg84 aww I hope you feel ok, I bet it is the internal I had one not that long ago and it bloody hurt my insides. Definitely stay off google all the outcomes on their are the worst xx

@Bundaberg84 hopefully just some disturbance from the scan and it will settle down soon for you. It's a good sign you have no cramps! I'm remaining very hopeful for you.

Oh @mummyh2016, it's awful. I think a lot of us are envious of you at this point 😅

@1ogansmum yay for booking appointment! Something to look forward to.

So I'm either getting nauseous or (a lot more likely) I'm making myself sick with worry as I've spent my entire morning reading old threads and getting upset 😭 all over taking a CB digi last night and only getting 2-3 when I think I should have moved to 3+ by Tuesday. I know the only solution is to stop testing and wait for the scan but I just feel absolutely awful about it, I need to calm myself down to a frenzy ☹️

@minthumbugs same. I think my not existent appetite and the latent nausea is more stress related than anything else. I don't take tests anymore and I also won't wear my fitbit watch for at least this weekend so I can't check my heart rate or temperature which isn't really accurate anyways. Maybe that will help a bit.

@minthumbugs try not to stress about clear blue ive read loads where people never got their 3+ and had a healthy baby, early pregnancy is such a rollercoaster, ive gone from last night felling nauseas and confident this baby could actually stick to waking up to cramps / burning sensations, taking the kids out for lunch soon and so worried the cramps are gonna get worse or turn into bleeding, feels like period cramps x

Hi ladies 👋

Just checking in. Today is the 5 week mark for me, so feeling pleased that I have made it this far.

Symptoms wise I am feeling tired, and my boobs are really swollen and painful. But no nausea or anything like that.

Just trying to be grateful for each day further I get and not drive myself crazy worrying too much.

Yeah @Bundaberg84 you end up making yourself feel unwell with worry ☹️ I stopped with my Fitbit too! I kept it on but deleted the app. It was the only thing I was tracking during my last cycle so didn't want to become obsessed.

@oliviagrace15 I know, easier said than done 😩 seen lots of stories, lots of people commenting saying oh I had that and had a healthy pregnancy but I've seen so many of the OPs come back with a bad update. I had a good cry about it 😅 I'm back now to just what will be will be and I can't do anything about it. Remember nausea can come and go! Hope your cramps have improved a bit 🤞🏻

Hi @littlelionroars congrats on 5 weeks! Your symptoms sound good 🤞🏻

Finally reached the 5 week mark.. feels like it’s been forever already!😂 freaked myself out this morning as I noticed some light pink discharge when I wiped.. no pain but stomach feels “tight” for sure. Had this on and off over the last few days but it’s only when I wipe and pretty minimal. Makes my heart sink every time though! Symptoms all the same, sore boobs and generally exhausted. Anyone else experienced this?

@nursej28 not pink but brown, and it started pretty much the day AF was due, hence I thought, well, AF arrives. So I have this now since 7 days straight. Also only when wiping, rarely a bit in the underwear, but always when I come back from a walk with the dog for example, or folding laundry.

Can I please join?
Had my BFP on Saturday, not sure how far along I am though as my cycles have been all over the place.
Little background - I've got one son who's 20 months, and had a 13 week termination back in February as my baby had Edwards'. Pretty terrified at the moment about this baby, the doctors won't give me a booking appointment until I'm 6 weeks (understandable) but that makes me even more scared. Just wishing the next few weeks would hurry up so I can book the appointment and at least have something to look forward to.

@stripytiger09 so sorry you had to go through that, only natural you'd be terrified. 🤞all goes well for you this time

6 weeks today 😊I'm a little nauseous but not too bad. Just counting the days down. @minthumbugs Got 2-3 on the CB a few days ago too , really thought it should be 3+ by now so will try for the 3+ in a few days then stop testing🙈

Hope you get some answers soon @Bundaberg84 and don't spend the weekend worrying too much XXX

Hi @stripytiger09 I'm really sorry to hear about your loss at 13 weeks and am hopeful this is your time. Congratulations and welcome xxx

Hello everyone. Tentatively joining as got my BFP yesterday at 15DPO, a CB digital then confirmed 2-3 weeks today. In total shock tbh! Never did I expect this to happen first cycle off the Pill. As I don’t know exact dates I’m guessing due around 8 Feb. I already have a little girl so if this pregnancy goes to plan, I’ll have two under 2 for a little bit 🙈. My daughter came 5 weeks early though so wouldn’t be surprised if this one turned up in January 😂

Yay to five weeks @nursej28! Every day we get through just now is a blessing, a week a major milestone. Have you contacted your local EPAS? Most will see you for reassurance if you have any pain or bleeding. X

Hi @stripytiger09 I'm so sorry about your baby. Congrats though! Looking forward to getting booked in too, until then I think we can all just share the madness Xx

Oh @Lollipop25 I think we have been pretty much the same throughout our entire journeys this year?! Haha. We are definitely in this one together then. I've ordered more tests (ugggghhh) and will do one on Wednesday afternoon, scan on Thursday anyway so I suppose I can deal with it a bit more if it's still 2-3. Kinda don't want to know! Almost wish I'd just bought some cheapies instead.

Congrats @Sunshine8888. X

Thank you @minthumbugs and congrats to you too. I can’t believe I found out at 4 weeks again! Why can’t I be one of those women who discover they’re pregnant at 16 weeks! Ha! I find the first trimester so difficult, constant anxiety! In my last pregnancy I had bleeding throughout leading to about 5 scans 😬. Really hope I can be more relaxed this time but I’m already obsessing and wondering when I should take my other CB digital to look for the 3+ ... I’ll try and wait a week but it’s going to be so hard.

Oh my goodness @Sunshine8888 wouldn't that be good?! All my other pregnancies I've found out on the later side of things (not 16 weeks haha still first trimester) and I think I must have found out some point in week 3 this time... wtf? All this extra over thinking time, why did I bother POAS haha! Aww I was the same with bleeding and scans in my last one too, sadly not a good outcome so I'm really hoping things go smoother this time. Also in the same boat with the CB, good luck!!

@minthumbugs, I’m in a difficult position as have a meet up with friends this weekend where it’s going to be so obvious if I don’t drink and my first covid vaccine booked next week!! I think I’m going to have to tell friends already 😬 and cancel the vaccine
