Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Thread 8

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

Here comes the thread, you know what to do!

parsnips with DS my sickness started at 6weeks until 24wks 😖 It will be harder to hide this time as I was working in community then so not a lot of people around, on delivery suite it will be very obvious!!!

AF was due today. I'm going to do a FRER this morning, my last one 😊

mummy I'm so pleased for you.
I am also on instagram if anyone else is xx

Oooh I love boursin Hb not thought to have it on crumpets. Mind you it doesn't last long in this house. I don't mind what's on them but they have to be properly toasted. Hate them when they're just a bit warm. I like a bit of crunch. Raspberry jam is also goooooooooood.

Yes I think ov must have been Thursday as my OPK on Friday was nearly there and then they've faded back to white which means AF due on 16th but I'll test on the 18th if she doesn't show up.

We have stopped doing the keto diet as was missing food too much and it's amazing. Like rediscoving lovely lovely food. Had my first sandwich in months yesterday and it was like heaven. Hoping to keep weight off just by limiting the amount I eat and drink!

Good luck at your appointment confused xxx

Definitely darker today 😊

Yeah mummy definitely darker! Happy days!

Nice progression is lines there mummy. Does it feel real yet?

I am scared of the sickness parsnips, really hoping I'm one of those jammy gits that doesn't get it at all but have felt a bit queasy a couple of times in the last couple of days so don't know if that is a sign of what's to come 🙈

seven enjoy real food! I once did a juice diet and on about day 3 gave up because I missed chewing 😂

buzz and jupiter is it your scans this week?

dancing hope your doing ok today ❤

Thanks for the luck guys! Its not till 10.40 so i'll let you know how it goes.

Good luck with telling your boss Jupiter

Mummy those lines are progressing really well!

Orange have you retested today hun?

Wiggley being really dizzy is such a good strong symptom! Are you not tempted to test before Thursday?

Seven what is Keto Diet? DH was Paleo for a long time but i could never do it!

All this talk of husbands sounds like my DH... I endearingly nicknamed him Half Job Bob... because I can always guarentee if i ask him to do something at some point he'll attempt it and it'll be half a job done 😂 But I wouldn't change him for the world ❤

Keto is high fat, low carbs (under 20g a day) which gets you into a state called ketosis which burns fat and basically your liver coverts fat into energy rather than carbs. I've done it for a couple of months but really only lost 5lbs because I can't live without wine and chocolate at the weekend 😂

DH lost a stone and it's meant to be good for sorting out hormones but I'm just gonna stick to proper food and not much processed from now on.

Morning all. Here's my digi... Pregnant with a capital P!

Good luck with your appointment today confused!

Hope you have a better day, dancing

Tigger those dizzy spells are encouraging! Fx for your test on Thursday.

Mummy your lines are lovely and clear. When's your EDD?

Glad the decision to tell your boss is helping you to feel more relaxed jupiter. Hope it goes well!

Morning!

Good looking tests Mummy & Penguin

Good luck for the scan Buzz & the appointment confused, good you're taking your Mum!

Dizzy sounds good Wiggley, not too much longer to wait! Is it your hen do soon?

Yes to crispy crumpets seven I'd be gutted if someone handed me a flacid one😂

Hope you're feeling better today Jupiter?

Jb I've had queasey moments but feel fairly sure I've got away lightly... only takes a quick cruise of the preggo boards to see so much about HG... sounds absolutely horrendous and debilitating, feel so sorry for anyone that's suffering with this.

Good luck this morning buzz, so excited for you. When you have a moment come and tell us all about it 💜

Penguin excellent! Love a digital confirmation. It's really happening!!

confused, good luck for your appointment too. What else would a cvs show? Keep us posted lovely.

JB that's such a brilliant idea! We're just in the process of having a conservatory/lean to added to the house to use as a utility room. It's finally nearly done and we love it. Can't wait to get a tumble dryer. Good luck with yours! Oh and my scan is this Friday afternoon :)

mummy that is reassuring. I had lots of milky cm at the beginning. It's got much thicker now..yay for your test this morning!

Dancing that must have been hard.. all the significant dates. Hope you're okay today x

Hope everyone slept better (I did! Phew!) and Hb and grumpy you've recovered from your mad busy days.

parsnips my nausea kicked in at 7 weeks but fortunately no vomiting. Count myself pretty lucky that didn't miss any work for it.

Wiggley sounds promising... fx for Thursday :)

Yay penguin! So reassuring to see it on a digital. Saves the old eyes too! 👀

Good luck for appt confused!

Oh and you too buzz!

I can't keep up these days! 😬

Omg you have no idea how desperate for the toilet I am!!! 😱😱😱

Ohhh buzz not much longer!!!xx

Hb haha at 'flaccid crumpet' that sounds unbearable!

So it's another BFN for me this morning with a FRER. I think the 'symptoms' I had must have been a bunch of red herrings and wishful thinking. I'm not going to test again now unless in the unlikely event AF doesn't show. Can't bear to get my hopes up for that!

Good luck for this morning buzz and confused.

Oh buzz I've been worried about this full bladder thing since my letter came through! Hopefully it's almost done now and you can have a big wee!

Sorry for BFN orange

Good luck buzz! At least it's an abdominal scan (although the holding a full bladder must be torture!). Mine will be transvaginal apparently - so no full bladder required - but pretty uncomfortable 😣
Looking forward to your update!

orange so sorry for the BFN, how frustrating. The symptoms you are experiencing might be an indicator of something happening (i.e. fertilisation but not implantation on this occasion.) You're not out until AF shows but hope you aren't feeling too disappointed

Hb before my private scan they recommended that you empty your bladder and then drink a pint of water approx one hour before the scan. It was uncomfortable but not completely unbearable. It was better for me to have that in mind than try and guess when I should last have a wee etc and estimate how much water to drink and when. I'm going to do this again on Friday.

grumpy why do you have to have a transvaginal scan lovely?

I think I can refuse but they seem to be standard at my local antenatal unit - mummy will know better as she works there!

Meet Keith! Due 24th November :)
