Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 6

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

Thread 6 already. We are a bunch of ladies who are either

• humping (TTC)
• by humping yet (waiting to TTC)
• humped (preggers)

And everything in between!

We've had 7 BFPs in three months and we love a bit of lucky lube and a squinter on 9DPO - come and join the madness!

Dancing you are being so strong given the rollercoaster ride you've just been on xx

My weekend plans are very boring but nice. Relaxing at home with DD before she goes to her dad for easter. Yoga - hot, so I might tell them (?!). And sleeping!

DH is annoying me tonight, I feel like it hasn't sunk in for either of us but even less for him / or he's stressed about it but doesn't want to talk. Feel like he's ignoring me but he's probably tired after a long week. Really need him to talk to as no one else knows. Well I told my best friend but she lives in Canada. Our mums will be hopeless and tell all family within a minute of knowing.

I have been feeling relatively normal all day today except for backache and so I am feeling a bit better about the upcoming travel.. fx I can stay calm even with jet lag.

wiggly I wore Calvin klein paper knickers, they were the thinnest things ever, you could see everything else and no bra, dress didn't allow for it! Was very glad not to have to wear spanx! I was very comfortable!

Wiggley I just wore a teeny tiny white thong

I'll be testing tomorrow morning so fingers crossed! Otherwise shopping and a picnic in the park planned. If I read correctly, penguin and jb1983 are cycle buddies - any of you testing tomorrow?

Oh YES for a food tasting wiggley! No wedding spanx here either... my dress fit like an absolute glove, and i was in the shape of my life! Would totally need a pair to get into it now

Definitely have a word with your instructor before yoga grumpy !

I'm working until 2.30pm tomo then a mad dash to get euros & pack... up at 3.30am the next morning to head to Italy... ouch!

Been feeling way better today (although i did finish work at a much more reasonable time) Hope you're feeling better jupiter ?

Very much agree how fab it is to have you 'strangers' to chat to!

DH isn't going to be home until 10ish cos something has gone wrong at work so im on my lonesome!

Dancing you’re amazing!

I’m having a lazy day tomorrow pottering around, will try again to master some crochet (think I’m slowly getting the hang of it) and then off to see my new niece again on Sunday which will be lovely.

Wiggley I wore full on body shaper under my dress (my dress was very fitted around the waist and then floaty and grecian from there downwards) Switched it for something sexier later on. I just got mine from debenhams I think. Definitely worth trying to be a little bit comfortable. Have an amazing time food tasting?! Can’t wait to hear all about it.

grumpy my DH has only really started talking about it properly in the last week. I don’t think it has really sunk in for him.. or for me to be honest. Both of us keep forgetting I’m pregnant at all

Good luck for tomorrow otters, are you using a FRER? Will have everything crossed for you.

Hb wow your holiday feels like it’s come round so quickly. Hope you have a fabulous time. Enjoy the last minute organisation. I feel much better this evening thank you. Had a real dizzy spell earlier when at work which was weird - nowhere near fainting or anything but made me feel a bit sick. I read online that women who feel dizzy in early pregnancy should have “a decaffeinated drink and a healthy snack” so naturally I had a massive mug of tea and a biscuit. Oh dear, what a rebel :)

Penguin any sign of AF? Are you re-testing tomorrow?

Oo wiggley our food tasting was amazing! Definitely one of favourite wedding planning days. Erm... I didn't buy any special underwear. Totally only wore a tiny pair of pants and no bra!

Fingers crossed for you otters!

Hb Italy sounds lovely. Early start definitely sounds less so!

Dancing I'm here if you need to chat sadly, I have been through the same thing myself very recently so I understand how heartbreaking it is. You are very much in my thoughts.

Grumpy work is actually ok, thanks. A welcome distraction! Although saying that, SO pleased it's Friday as I'm exhaused. Love your mega clear positives

Grumpy make sure you try to speak to your DH about how you're feeling. Communication is so important, and especially now when you're getting ready to go through a massive change together.

No ring for me, so no advice on the dress/underwear situation I'm afraid wiggley. I'd say to try on a few options with your dress if you can and see what you feel most comfortable in? Enjoy your food tasting!

Glad you're feeling better, Hb. Italy sounds amazing!

No AF for me yet, so I think I'm going to test again in the morning. I have my family coming to stay this weekend with my gorgeous baby nephew, so I'm really excited about that!

Awk dancing I am so sorry to hear your news love! I hope you are doing ok. Sorry I've not been around much. My parents are visiting at the moment and I've not had a minute. You sound like an amazingly strong woman! Please let us know if you need to chat xxx

Evening all ❤️

I'm going to finalise the details with our tipi company that are doing our wedding! They're having an open day and I can't wait to see it in real life! Only seen pics so far so hope it lives up to my expectations!!

I bought my wedding underwear a few weeks ago, so hope my boobs done become ginormous by then!!

Jane the Virgin is like a telenovela which is like a Spanish soap opera, it's really tongue and cheek taking the piss out of how dramatic they are and it's just so good! I'd highly recommend it! :)

Thanks penguin I will. Good luck for your test in the morning! I'll be checking the thread impatiently

I am so so so tired. DH was making risotto but it took too long so I'm in bed, I feel like I've run a marathon today! Night all x

Evening ladies.

Buzz that's gorgeous. Looks similar to mine but I got mine from Ultimo. £135 nearly made me die when I saw the price of it. However...my bra is now on the small side because my boobs are bigger as I've put on weight since I bought it 9 months ago and the stocking belt thingy is nearly cutting my waist in half 😂 but apart from that I'm all good underwear wise.

Hopefully yours will fit still 🤞🏼

I wish I had a pic of my dress but I don't because mum banned me from having any on phone just incase oh saw it by accident. I will upload one tho once the big day has finally arrived.. (shitting my pants now!)

I'm going into central for the day tomorrow.. we are doing mothers day this weekend for my mum and DH thought it might be good bonding time for me so told me to go with her... not sure about about walking all day (i have already got a bit of a waddle somehow!?!?) will go down but i'm trying for DH's sake because he's worried about me

Wiggley my dress was a very unforgiving sking tight mermaid and had a full corset inside the zip and buttons which when done up left a little bit of love handles poking out (i am very hourglass!) so i had very thin small lace pants and a waist trainer pulled down over my hips under my dress to make my silhouette seamless! However when i got changed into Dress 2 which was a french lace dress shaped like a japanese dress i just ditched the waist trainer and wore the tiny pants!

This was my main dress (you can see how unforgiving it is!)

What an amazing dress confused, am sure you looked beautiful? How are you lovely? Is the anxiety still there?

Penguin how exciting!! Can't wait to see your update tomorrow morning.

buzz have an amazing time! Fab underwear choice :)

Wow! Thanks for all the advice ladies will have a little look and see, I imagine I will go for something comfortable most importantly! My seamstress is going to be sewing the bra in for more support.
Confused that is a very unforgiving dress! I bet you looked fabulous!
Buzz lovely lingerie set!

Hope your day tomorrow goes ok confused. Hopefully it doesn't make you more anxious. 💐 The dress looks amazing, I could not pull off that in a million years!

Hope the tipi lives up to all your hopes buzz!

That dress is incredible confused! I bet you looked amazing.

I hope it goes well with the tipi people tomorrow buzz... that's such a cool idea for a wedding!

Night all! X

Wow fab dress confused,I love seeing wedding dresses! I vote everyone posts theirs, or future dresses! it'll be like say yes to the dress mumsnet edition!

I'm crashing, but just wanted to pop on and wish penguin & the other testers good luck for the morning

Good luck testing this morning penguin and otters. I'm only just starting af AF makes an appearance otters so no testing for me till next month.

Wiggley tasting the food for you wedding is one of the best parts. I just had lacey white underwear on my wedding day. confused your dress is amazing!!

Ooh loving the wedding dress idea - here's me in mine! I wore big sexy spanks as it was very form fitting. Probably wouldn't get a leg into it now 🙈🙈

Right girls, get them posted!!!

This is mind (except I didn't wear a veil)

Mine, even!
