Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Thread 7

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

We are a bunch of ladies who are either

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

And everything in between!

We've had 8 BFPs since January (and counting!) and we love a bit of lucky lube and a squinter on 9DPO - come and join the madness!

Oh grumpy just wanted to say I'm awake and saw your message. Hope all is ok x

Thank you
I'm so tired

Me too. I'm thinking of you. I'm sure everything will be ok with little bean it'll be you going through the wringer but I know you must be scared x

Oh grumpy! Hope you're feeling ok. Best of luck for EPU. Let us all know how it goes. Will be thinking of you ❤️

Hey Grumpy i hope everything goes ok today... i'm pretty sure Bean should be ok... i read somewhere Salmonella isn't actually a risk to baby and only to making you too ill to provide to it but it will still be using the Yolk Sac so i hope you'll be ok!

Oooh no Grumpy lots of love xxx hopefully you've gotten some sleep xxx

Thanks all for the reassurance... got 4hrs sleep finally and feeling a bit better although tummy is still not right. DH is taking me to the EPU when it opens at 8.

Grumpy sounds so horrible and scary. Hope it has mostly passed now and you managed to snatch some sleep. Hope all is well at EPU. ❤

Tigger I'm sorry you didn't sleep well. I hope you're doing ok and not too nervous about today. Will be thinking of you.

Cross post. So glad you got a little sleep. Hope you don't have to wait too long.

Oh Grumpy hope things have improved from earlier hun, good luck with EPU, hope you can get there nice & early & get the reassurance you need... I'm sure the seedling is tougher than we expect!

Oh grumpy hope you're feeling a bit better this morning. Keeping everything crossed for you ❤️

grumpy sorry to hear about your terrible night. Hope you're feeling better now and good luck at EPU. Little bean is strong. Will be thinking of you.

Also thinking of you today tigger hope it goes as well as it can given the circumstance.

Hope everyone else has a good day

Tigger and grumpy so sorry you've had bad nights. Sending you lots of thoughts today. Keep us posted when you can xx

Good luck today tigger I'll be thinking of you and thanks for your support in the small hours x

So tired. Hope they can reassure me about food poisoning, or check what kind it is. At least the D&V has stopped. Probably won't go to work today depends what they say.

Tigger. Hope you're OK and today goes as well as it can do. Take care my lovely xx

Tigger thinking of you today, hope it goes as well as it can do and that you are home quickly.

Grumpy sorry to hear you had a bad night. I'm sure the EPU will be able to give you the reassurance you need.

Grumpy sounds like you might need the day to recover and catch up on sleep lovely. Be kind to yourself.

Hope all goes ok for you today confused.

grumpy id definitely take the day off. Just in case it wasn't what you ate and a bug- it's contagious for 48 hours I think so you shouldn't go in. You should also deffo rest ❤️

Hope you're okay today tigger

Yeah take the day off grumpy it may be norovirus. I had it a few weeks ago, knocked me for six. I wouldn't worry about d&v either at any gestation really unless you are unable to hold fluids down. Hope you're feeling better today. Did you say you lived in south London? My trust epu opens at 8am.. I always wonder if people I talk to on here come to my workplace.

I'm in on a study day today but knackered as DD was awake at 5.50am 😤

My nipples are intermittently sore like pins today and still have tender boobs, like bruised..but this could be pre AF boobs!!

And tigger I'm thinking about you a lot today ❤️

tigger my thoughts will be with you today. No wonder you have had trouble sleeping.

grumpy hope you recover quickly and EPU can put your mind at rest. Lots of fluids x

mummy when are you testing again? Promising symptoms!

DH and I are away from home staying with relatives this week and stupidly didn't bring OPKs. I'm worried that if I have a normal cycle this month (on CD10 today) that we might miss the boat if we assume I won't ovulate until CD19/20 like most months. Bit awkward trying to fit in some 'cosy' time when staying with relatives 🙈

Good luck for today Grumpy!

Sorry I've been a bit AWOL recently, I think I'm going to take a bit of a back seat and just check in occasionally. I have been thinking really carefully about out ttc plans and I think we should start trying on our honeymoon. As much as it kills me to wait even longer, I know I'm going to be ridden with anxiety and if anything happens that makes me worry I won't be able to pop to the local EPU and I'll just have to sit tight. I can imagine it ruining our time and consuming all my thoughts.
I'd still like to stay and keep up with all of you though, I love hearing how you're all getting on.

OHhh Grumpy let us know how you are, i was catching up, getting excited that you are having an early scan!

Hb i bet you are excited now you have a book appointment confirmed AND the reception lady was nice! Result!

Hope you get a better nights sleep tonight Tigger

Thanks all, EPU opened at 8:30 (so I don't think it's your trust mummy) but there was a queue so I only just got seen. They said not to worry about the food poisoning/ bug just get lots of fluids and rest.

They did a trans vaginal scan (a new experience I must say!) and saw a sac and a yolk. So the pregnancy is confirmed and they said there was some bruising where the placenta is implanting into uterus wall so I could get some spotting / bleeding. They've booked me another scan for 3wks time for reassurance which is nice. Spot on for 5+2 but just looked like a black blob to me. And there is only 1 (phew).

Going home now to rest.
I swear my boss thinks I'm skiving we are really busy at the moment
