2 week wait

[NinaPS]

So I thought I would start a thread and see who else has started the dreaded TWW, I'm currently 2DPO and finding it impossible to wait to find out the outcome, so I need some ladies to share my insanity with.

@NinaPS similar circumstances my first born - when we went to tell my MIL she told me (at 20+ weeks) that we "had options". My mum was furious and within a week was buying baby outfits. If they weren't expecting it then it may have just come as a huge shock to her and she may have suffered a case of verbal diarrhoea.

Enjoy your pregnancy and don't let the little people get you down :)

@DramaLama2019 as horrible as someone saying that to you is I'm glad there is someone who has been in a similar situation and can relate. I just think it's such an awful thing to say to someone especially when your family but I guess they can be the worst sometimes. I guess I was more shocked as I didn't think she was going to have a problem but I was wrong. Oh well I'll try and relax and forget about her for now as she isn't my number one priority

@NinaPS I should add that my mum is number one nana and my OH mum absolutely adores little one and couldn't do enough for them now. Was just a really terrible shock to their system. They were the first ones to come rushing through those doors and my mum supported me in labour and was their to witness her get her first grandchild from me 😉 I get your step mum a week before a teddy arrives or something similar 🙈

@NinaPS also.... should add I'm from an Islamic household and unmarried 😮😂 my mum was similar but says she "wanted more for me" though I suspect it was more about keeping face. To solve the problem she tells people I'm married (which I don't mind - we still aren't though 😂) whichever way she dealt with it she managed it pretty rapidly. We were 23 when I found out I was expecting and I think it threw her for some reason though we'd been together since I was 17 :) xx

@NinaPS anyone who thinks badly or speaks of you (as in 'what will people say') isn't worth anything. She'll be paranoid if she thinks people she knows will judge but at the end of the day your happiness it was matters 💕 I hope she will get over that fear of 'other people' and be happy for your happiness 💕

You can't choose your family but she will change her time once there's a little bundle of joy here 😁

@DramaLama2019 omg so simila! my dad and step mum are Islamic too! I had my Nikah done but because they haven't given me away she finds it unacceptable 🙄

@NinaPS If nikahs done then you are married in Islam or am I mistaken ?! Either way - you really aren't bringing shame on anyone so I wouldn't worry too much. My mums a revert and I tend to find most who are reverts are much more strict in terms of their attitudes towards raising children. Honestly she gave me the birds and the bees talk when I was 8 months gone 😂 she'll either come around and realise much worse things could happen or she'll miss out on a grandchild. My step dad said something to my mum in private about my unborn and it's something I have never forgiven nor will I ever. I made peace just so that my mum would make peace with him as she threw him out 😮

Why do people feel the need to be so rude and judgemental esp in happy times really baffles me!! Having a baby is nothing but a time of joy esp when its your first as its all new!! So soak every second up ladies!! I wouldnt let her words get too you @NinaPS im sure as soon as baby is here it will be a different story

Hey girls 👋 no sign of AF this morning apart from cramps but I've had them all week so hopefully she won't turn up for 9/10 months

@Markygirl1995 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻😁

Another BFN from house FredMyl I am afraid. I am trying to remain positive though and is now searching on Google the chances of getting a negative 3 days before period and still being pregnant haha.

I have also took up the hobby of changing what BFN stands for and putting my own slant on it.

Big Fat Nein, Big Fat Nadda, Big Fat Not-a-chance haha

@FredMyl some don't get their bfp until after af is due so try not to get too disheartened you're not out yet🤞🏻

Has anyone else had a negative 3 days before period but still been pregnant?

@FredMyl 🤞🏻 for you. What tests are you using?

@Abi58 I am using clear blue early detection but now I am looking online they haven't got the best reviews

@FredMyl can you get a first response early response? They are really good

@DramaLama2019 well that's what my dad was trying to tell her. He said she's had her. Nikah she is married but again she's too focused on what people will say as I have not had a walima nor do I intend to. I can think of better things to spend my money on tbh 😂 I guess some people find it difficult to be happy for you and that's just the way of life, if you can't put your 'daughter' before anyone else's opinion then I'm sorry but I don't have time for you. Everyone else has been supportive but my emotions are like sky high at the moment and I could cry at the drop of a hat 😂

@tiredmoma thank you, I try not to let what people say get to me but when this person is supposed to love you unconditionally and they can't be happy for you it hurts. I guess I just have to forget about the negative people and concentrate on the life that's growing inside me

Sorry girls but just had the worst CM 😳 literally looked how my mucus plug looked 🤢

@abi58 I have ordered some early response kits from Amazon that are coming today so I will see how they are tomorrow morning but fingers crossed

@Markygirl1995 I have no idea what a mucus plug looks like and that emoji had made me too scared to google it 😂
🤞🏻

@FredMyl 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻might be better to try evening on a hold that's when mine is stronger

@NinaPS, @DramaLama2019 - I'm absolutely dreading telling my DM. She will not be impressed. Not helped by the fact that the situation between me and DP is 'complicated' so it will definitely come as a shock. But she's so judgemental about relationships and sex that she's never needed to know up to now. I still remember the lecture I got as an 11yo when my mother found out my 21yo sister was sleeping with her boyfriend!!!!!!!

She also told me years ago that I was lucky, because if I fell pregnant I could just have an abortion. That's most certainly not going to happen and she'll be told this. But she really won't be happy with me being pregnant at all.

Ladies, I think I've just convinced DH to go for an early scan... eek! Has anyone got any experience with a 6week? Is it worth it that early?xx

@JenDaw if you look back to tuesdays messages @Markygirl1995 shared her 6/7 week scan 😁 I want to go for one! Where are you going to go for it??

Ahh @Abi58 @Markygirl1995 I thought that was just at 7 weeks 😍. I've had one at 7 weeks in the past so know that's a definite- but wondered if that extra week makes much of a difference.

Apparently (according to the company I emailed) they can usually see enough on a belly scan at 6 weeks which makes me think it's not too early- but they offer a TV scan if not... and a rescan if it's way too early!!

It's a place in Loughborough called miracle in progress, but may look for one closer to home!

Where about la are you looking @Abi58?x
