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!

Ugh I'm so torn between telling my best friends. What should I do? I figured I could wait till my scan but now it's over 6 weeks away and only 1 week before my hen do, I don't know if I can keep it a secret! I'm seeing one of them tonight, do you think I should tell her? mrs so exciting I'm only a week behind you!

Buzz I would wait and announce it at the hen do! We will distract you for a week!

Currently sitting in foils 🤞🏼😬🙈

Sorry .. the scan is 1 week before your hen do? That's tough!!

Yeah! Not even! Scan on the 9th, hen on the 13th!! I feel like I can't do anything social between now and then and them not know something is off!

Eeeek! So excited for this hair!!

buzz you could say that you are dieting and not going to drink until the hen, that u set yourself a challenge or something??? And then well obviously not actually drink on the hen but all will be revealed then anyway?

Yes!! Good idea mrsC i did two teetotal months before my wedding (bar two hen do days) and no one questioned it!

Not tried it on again yet (too scared) but I'm going to pour myself into it anyway. I've got a lovely fascinator to match and bought new shoes tonight and had mani/pedi so I'm all set! Will see if i can can post a pic tomorrow!! Hope you're all having lovely weekends x

buzz that’s so interesting that we have the same symptoms! Keep waiting for the nausea to hit, do you? I second the idea that you tell your friends that you’re pre-wedding detoxing and things and then you can tell them all your baby news at the hen do! So excited for you that you’ve already got your scan date - your NHS trust is very on the ball. I assume I won’t get my appointment until after my booking in appointment which isn’t for another 4 weeks..or have other humped ladies had theirs before booking in?

Fingers crossed for you penguin, really hope the next week goes quickly.

Thanks seven, I just had some tomatoes and actually my throat does feel a bit better! I don’t dare take any paracetamol or anything so tomatoes it will have to be.

MrsC hope you’re managing to force down a slice of pizza :) Wish that was my problem!

Parsnips you will look fab, sounds gorgeous.

grumpy how is the hair???

Jupiter I got mine through before booking (thankfully, as still haven't had that yet!) but I do think it's more common for it to be arranged after booking.

Before and after.. what do you reckon girls??
I need to adjust my make up routine I think! Not quite as light blonde as I had hoped but I do like it (I think)

Love your hair grumpy!!

Love the hair!

Beautiful!!!

Perfect spring hair!

Thank you.. almost home to take more selfies haha xx

Oh wow what gorgeous hair!! Looks fab grumpy!! X

Love it Grumpy you babe x (what I can see of you lol!)

Haha thanks guys you are making me smile 😁

Hey everyone!

Just checking in, love catching up on your messages!

Seven V-j is so much better! Phew, I think all your wonderful tips about hot flannels worked and it's shrunk so quickly so hopefully clear up on its own.

Wilde congratulations on your BFP

Grumpy love the hair! Looks gorgeous, you're also doing a really good job of not symptom spotting. It must be so hard!

I've watched Beauty and the Beast tonight! Absolutely loved it.

Well, that was lovely! He arrived home not too late, and huge smile and kiss when I told him! We're cautiously excited!!!

Just took an IC and I think the line is a little more obvious than the first one I took...do they ever get really dark on an IC?

Wilde That's absolutely lovely, you must have made his year! The line on the ICs I've got definitely get darker. I did one yesterday and it was darker and a bit thicker than the control line even :) So happy for you both!

Wiggles glad all is well down there :) phew!

Hb any sign of AB? Am still willing it away here.. what DPO are you technically today? I know AB due tomorrow.

buzz literally cannot wait to hear about your midwife appt! Is the house looking stunning?

parsnips enjoy the races and grumpy enjoy the gorge hair!!

Caught sight of my nipples in the mirror this morning - I was not at all prepared! Swear they are already much bigger and darker. This little 'dot snail' (size of it according to Ovia) is already taking over my body!

What's AB??? I'm guessing AF, but why?!
