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!

here** not hear 🙄

I echo what others have said. We're here if you need us. We are so shocked and saddened but you are the priority and if you need us just say. This thread was always going to be a journey and we're all in it together whatever happens xx

tigger you're so right it is properly shit, and like the girls have said we are hear for whatever you need, just do what's right for you xx

I'm so sorry Tigger sending lots of love to you and your oh xxx

Jupiter your last comment made me cry! I love that we all have each other.

So my friends stayed over last night. One of which moved back to this country recently after having a mc last year. We had a proper heart to heart about ttc (drunkenly!!) it was so weird talking to people in real life about it all but good that my best friends know. And it's crazy to think we are ttc at the same time.

Oh no Tigger I am so so sorry to read this. Sending you lots of love jupiter and everyone who has commented is quite right - we do all have each other.

We absolutely do all have each other orange and seven So lovely too seven that you could have a good chat with your friend about ttc. Just saying it all out loud feels great :)

How are you today Dancing? Thinking of you x

Hey ladies, hope you're all enjoying this beautiful sunshine! Seven that sounds like a lovely chat with your friends last night

Thanks Jupiter. I'm not really ok, but I know that I will be. It's been a really tough week. Work were kind enough to let me go home after a few hours yesterday. I'm hoping next week will be easier.

Wow dancing I can't believe you've been back to work! I don't think I'd be able to even think about work, but I suppose it's a bit of a distraction. Are you up to much this weekend? Thinking of you and tigger and para ❤️

I'm sure you're not okay dancing, but glad work are being supportive. Can't imagine what you, Tigger and para must be feeling. Hope you can have some peaceful time in the sunshine today.

I'm sitting in the garden looking at the tulips my friend planted. I love spring.

tigger take all the time you need and as others have said we are all here for you ❤❤❤
Hope everyone else is enjoying the lovely weather today. Any exciting plans? We are going to have our first BBQ of the year. Happy weekend all x

Hope you've had a lovely bbq otters, that sounds gorgeous. I've been sitting in the sunshine all afternoon - might not need my vit D supplement tonight! Hope everyone else is having a nice day x

This sun is beautiful!! It doesnt take much to please us Brits!!

Worked this morning, then went to an art exhibition at the exhibition space we had our wedding reception in, drink at a pub on the canal & just picked up my new car!! Busy but good! Just waiting for DH to get back from work to see if he wants to BBQ!

What are you folks up to?

Has anyone else had a pregnancy 'lull' around 6 weeks? Dont feel as hideously drained, back not as bad, no nausea yet... is it bad that i want some of these to happen to remind me it's still going on?! Is it the calm before the storm?

❤ Tigger & Dancing

Hb and otters glad you are enjoying the sun. I'm waiting with DD to board our plane back to London. Looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow.

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow and the tiredness has hit me like a ton of bricks. Hope to recover in time for my work trip and not get nausea, I don't think I could handle it while travelling.

Jupiter there was a bit of sun here earlier and I immediately ran outside to feel some rays on my face! So light deprived & skin is terrible - can't wait for a bit more sun

Ah bless you grumpy - I'm sure you're exhausted. Hope it all went well. I've had a nice weekend showing our friend round Dubai. He is a photography geek like me so I've been hunting out all the best spots. My instagram is on point this weekend.

Mummy/Buzz/Confused perfect thanks for clearing that one. So I need to get Zinc and Folic acid inside of me then? I struggle taking Folic it make me so sick..was taking some hair supplements and you wouldn't even believe the symptoms. Also can't have B12 because it speeds up my metabolism and makes me shed weight like you'd not believe!

Are you supposed to take Folic acid and Zinc in the morn or can I get away with taking it in the eve? (Maybe a full stomach may help with the sickness perhaps?)

Thanks parsnips it's been emotionally and physically tiring but was a beautiful service and glad I could be there for my mum.
That sounds like an amazing weekend! Would love to share insta details via PM if you are comfortable with that, I'm addicted!

Laura a lot of people had recommended taking it all in the evenings to avoid nausea.

I was wondering, my b complex also has folic acid in, so I avoided taking them together. Does having a little more folic acid cause any issues? I started taking everything again today, after a week of rebellion!

I had a day of shopping. Probably went a bit ott, but screw it. Feel sorry for my credit card! Also feeling completely wiped out today, so now napping on the sofa!

Glad so many people have been out and about enjoying the sunshine.

Fx the nausea holds off for you grumpy. Hope the flight back is ok!

Hb I was the same about a week ago (I'm 7 weeks today) but the last few days I've felt really rough. Nausea really not bad but just feel run down, grotty, low energy and blah. Boobs very sore and skin quite bad. Horrible but can't complain. Hope you continue to feel pretty good.

Glad you've all had lovely days too! :)

grumpy loads of sympathy for the exhaustion. Saw this today and thought of us all..

You're all so lovely ❤

Tigger been thinking of you lots today. Hope you are ok.

Hope you have all been able to enjoy some of this beautiful sunshine today. HeyJupiter I know what you mean about the vitamin D, I thought the same thing!

Hi all! Been in the garden all day after taking my mum for her endoscopy appointment, I didn't realise that's another thing we have to go through!

grumpy and parnsips also an insta addict over here 🙋🏽 PM me yours if you want! 😊 I started 100 happy days yesterday parsnips, it's such a good idea! Think I might struggle everyday but I suppose that's the point, find happiness in the small things!

Sorry you're feeling rough jupiter :( hope it eases for us soon. I had a bath earlier and was so worried about the temperature, I hope Keith's not overheated.

laura I was taking it either in the morning or evening, I'm not sure if it makes a difference. The packet does say to have it with a meal.

Did anyone win on the national today??

Buzz I will but I need to go on the web version as I don't think we can PM on the app? I know what you mean about the bath worries I really want one but Luke warm just ain't worth it! And I want a big Campari with prosecco and ice!

Thanks Jupiter and dancing I'm almost home now thankfully, DH picked us up from airport. Feet up and in bed asap! 😴

Glad you're almost home Grumpy hope you get straight to sleep! I would also love a bath! I was told to wait a fortnight... Definitely going to indulge before I start trying again!
