I'm now 15 weeks, considering moving the gender scan to Friday where I'll be 15+6, but it's currently booked for next Monday.

Currently feeling well with respect to pregnancy but have had the worst cold for the past 8 days 😭. I feel like I've been chronically ill for 10 weeks or so now (first morning sickness/first trimester horribleness and now this cold as soon as the sickness and exhaustion started to lift).

Hope you're all well?

@NewbieB thanks lovely. Im just gone 8 weeks now. My first too!

@mackjm20 only told my sisters and my boss atm. Waiting till 12 week scan before telling anyone else!

@Curiosity101 thank you yes defo has helped a bit! Wow 15 weeks thats really flown by!! When did ur morning sickness start improving? I feel so miserable lol

@CookieMonster3001 I'd say it started improving at 11 weeks but hadn't full stopped until sometime in the past week. So probably 14-15 weeks maybe. I was similar with my son but it varies massively from person to person. I'll keep everything crossed for you.

@CookieMonster3001 Just to add that the second trimester is great though. You're not too big and you start feeling little kicks/movements. Hang on in there!

Wasn't sure whether to post this here or not, and please let me know if this upsets anyone as I can make sure I don't post anything bump related again... But I did a little comparison of my pre pregnancy/post weight loss picture and my 15 week tummy.

@NewbieB ah so exciting :)

@Curiosity101 thank you so much :) So exciting about the gender scan! Do you have any gut feeling on the gender :)? Oh bless you I hope you are feeling better soon bless you! Omgosh your bump pic that’s so lovely :) you have such a lovely little bump :)

@CookieMonster3001 that makes total sense I would do exactly the same :) ah I’m wishing the 12 week scan here for you and that time goes quickly :)

@sunflowersaremyfav93 how are you doing? Where are you in your cycle?

I am currently 6dpo and honestly not hating on the tww as much as I usually do! After having not ovulated last month I’m just so relieved to have a tww lol! I’ve tried to not put any pressure on this cycle and keep thinking to myself atleast I can have a drink on the 12th April if it doesn’t happen this month- every cloud lol :) x

Aw so lovely reading about all your updates!! I had stopped reading after I didn't get my BFP last month but just got this this morning! I had thrown it in the bin because I thought it was negative- thought i could see a faint line but nothing major. Had a shower and took it out the bin about 3 mins later and it was positive! Was worried about an evap but it was within 5 mins and it's pink so that's a good sign right?xxx

I'm 10 DPO

Sorry and it's a lot pinker in real life. I'm sure it's not an evap it's only cos I threw it then got it back out that I'm worried but it was no longer than a few mins

@Arrierttyclock that looks definitely positive to me!! Congratulations!!!

@NewbieB oh thank god thanks! I work in a hospital and am on my way to get more tests just in case. I just want to see it again! It's such a nerve wracking time!

I tested at 10 DPO and had to get 2 more tests just so it was blatantly saying ‘Pregnant’. Go go go

@Arrierttyclock Congratulations! Definitely positive.

@mackjm20 Thanks ☺️. I don't know anymore, I was sure it was a girl because this pregnancy has been so different. Everyone else thinks boy. 🤷😅

Guess we'll find out soon enough. 6 days now.

Glad to hear you're finding the TWW ok 😊. You definitely sound a lot more relaxed.

@Arrierttyclock ah that defo looks like a positive to me :) congratulations :) xx

@Curiosity101 eeek that’s so exciting :) I feel like finding that out but be like waiting for Christmas Eve as a kid :) like all nervous and excitement rolled into one :) can’t wait to find out what you are having :) xx

Omg phew thank you everyone! I took a CB and the line was supppppppper faint but I am only 10 days and it was mid morning so that's to be expected!

@Arrierttyclock eeek amazing that it still had a faint line mid morning and 10dpo :) all sounds really positive to me :) how are you feeling? Xx

Okay that's good to know cos I don't know if I was imagining it or not so good but I've gotta give my head a wobble and remember I am only 10DPO. I've been feeling absolutely normal except for these banging headaches- my doctor thinks it's sometbing sinister so I'm in the eye hospital undergoing a load of tests but I'm sure it's pregnancy related! I was so so sure I wasn't pregnant because I've got no symptoms at all!

Hi all just checking in 😊 sorry I've been quiet just absolutely shattered and feeling sick morning noon and night, plus had a sickness bug Friday and into the weekend 🤢 never felt so rough! Anyway I'm 8 weeks today, I'm booked in with the midwife and had my bloods done yesterday so it's all go. I've got my first scan April 20th 3 days before my eldest's 6th birthday so hoping to surprise him and his brother with the news of a new sibling the evening of his birthday 🥰
Hope everyone is doing ok?
@Potterurotter congratulations 🎉😊 I had some horrible cramps to begin with. How are you now?
Thank you @mackjm20 😊 it's going well albeit very slowly lol. How are you doing? How's your weightloss going?
@CookieMonster3001 Aw lovely news about the scan 🙂 glad all is going well.
@Curiosity101 Oh no hope you're better soon. Having a cold when pregnant is miserable as you just can't take much to make you better 😩 you have my sympathy! Lovely to see your progression pics 😊 that's a nice tidy bump. I feel like I'm showing already 😬 3rd baby problems 😂
@Arrierttyclock Yay congratulations 🎉 definitely positive! 😃 Horrible headaches were one of my first symptoms!

@Kayeyeem bless you I hope you are feeling better soon! Ah that’s so exciting and so lush to be able to surprise them :) remind me is this your third? I’m okay thank you got in my head abit but feeling much better now :) on the plus I’m down over 2 stone since January :) healthy bmi seems so much more achievable now and already just in the overweight not obese category now :) super chuffed it’s been my one positive focus to be honest :) keep trying to think if it doesn’t happen atleast I can enjoy a summer ‘glow up’ lol :) xx

@mackjm20 yes this is my 3rd 😬 keep having dreams it's twins and was never this sick with the other 2, kind of praying it's not 🤣
Glad you're doing ok. Being in your head is never a good idea. We do talk down to ourselves like no body else ever would! We're our own worst enemy! Wow 2 stone is a brilliant achievement, definitely something to be proud of and like you say, if nothing else think how fantastic you will feel in the summer! Then when you do get your BFP hopefully you will be much healthier with it 😃 my bmi is high and my midwife was saying I'll need to take aspirin and be tested for gestational diabetes as well as other stuff and as happy as I am that I'm pregnant, I do regret not trying harder to lose weight first so a huge well done you 😊

Hi all, just wanted to check in! I switched off mumsnet for a while as it was just giving me more reasons to be anxious! 16 weeks today and all is well. I have a lot of reading back to do 🤣 I hope you are all well!

@Kayeyeem Omgosh imagine! Hopefully it’s just a dream :) I know you are so right I we would never speak to anyone else how we speak to ourselves. Thank you so much :) yea that’s what I am hoping :) it’s good that they pick up on these things so that you will be well looked after :) x

@wrensandrobins thanks for checking in so lovely to hear from you! Omgosh 16 weeks how’s it all going :)? Are you going to find out little ones gender :) bless you sorry to hear you have been anxious sometimes good to take a step back :) sending lots of love your way :) x

Morning :) How’s everyone getting on? I’m 9dpo today quite sure that I’m out (bfn- I know it’s early I can’t help myself) but feeling surprisingly positive :) so excited to get to see people next week and to have a few drinks to belated celebrate my birthday so every cloud :)

I tried to not think about it much this month so next month I’m going to try and be super healthy food wise again and see if that helps. The end of the weight loss journey is in sight which is another positive :)

To be Totally honest I have ended up down abit of a google rabbit hole about pcos... I feel like a lot of the symptoms could be true to me. Not sure if I’m just going over kill on dr google after looking up why am I not pregnant yet 1000 times lol but might book in and get tested just in case... anyone have any experience of this and know much about the process?

Hope everyone is having a good Friday and has a lovely weekend :) xxx

Following last post have just booked a dr appointment to get tested for pcos- face my fear and find out feel like it’s better to know what I’m dealing with- if I have it will be good to get guidance on how best to improve conception chances & if I don’t can cross that off the list and soon will be able to cross being overweight off the list when I finally hit healthy bmi :) trying to focus on things within my sphere of control as my impatience increases x

Morning :) AF arrived this morning. I’m doing as okay as I can be :) Really glad I have booked the dr appointment for pcos test now and if not can try and establish what’s going on with my cycle. Good luck to everyone else for this cycle :) I’ll be back in a few days for cycle 8 xxx
