There's no mistaking this one

It's it okay to post this here? I don't want to be insensitive.

That's a pretty dark line, isn't it? My period was due yesterday.

I don't know why I'm posting. I'm in shock and I'm not ready to talk to anyone in real life yet.

Yep, that’s a strong line How are you feeling about it?

Looks convincingly positive to me. Hope that’s what you were hoping for

I don't even know what to say. I'm married. I have a four year old. My husband has already wanted three at least one more. I didn't have a great pregnancy so I've been too scared to try again. And I was content with my one.

We had decided once last month. Once. I didn't feel pregnant. I don't feel pregnant. With my son I just knew from the second we conceived (okay, slight exaggeration but you know what I mean).

It is a good thing but I'm in shock right now and my head is all over the place.

Take your time to get your head together OP and think about what you want. Either way, you’ll be absolutely fine

If it helps, I’m pregnant with my second and having a totally different pregnancy to my first.

I want a baby but not the pregnancy 🤣

My husband is "pumped". He's almost forty-fucking-two and he talks like a teenager.

I want this. I'm just scared. I don't want anyone to think I don't.

Oh lovely, it’s totally okay to be scared! And you’ll get your head around it in due course. It must be a shock when it happens so quickly (tbf though we tried for 10 months with DD and it was still a shock! But I can imagine month 1 it would be even more so).

As PP have said, every pregnancy is different and there’s no guarantee you’ll have a similar one. And even if you do you’ll know it finishes and you get your awesome tiny baby at the end of it have you discussed your nerves with your husband?

We only have one at the moment and I had a pretty tough first few months with her (Pandemic didn’t help!). We’re planning on #2 at some point and I’m terrified about how I’d manage with 2, but I keep reminding myself that lots of women do it. And having a sibling is so rewarding (most of the time...) - my sister is genuinely my best mate.

Don’t worry that your head’s spinning, I’d imagine it’s completely normal! Is there anything specific worrying you?

Hi @Alreadyinmypyjamas , we have lots of similarities! My DS is 3, and I had a terrible first pregnancy, starting in hyperemesis and ending in eclampsia. I've had a faint positive yesterday and a clear positive FRER this morning and now I'm worrying.
Worrying it's early days, and worrying about the pregnancy, but very much want the baby. Sending my thoughts your way x

@Annie1290 you're my new best friend whether you like it or not.

I'm scared about the pandemic and the care I'll receive if I'm as poorly as I was last time. Will people thing I'm fucking stupid for getting pregnant now?

I'm scared because I've only been in my job a year and I don't want to let them down. My boss is amazing and will be so lovely about it. But I don't want to disappoint the team.

I don't want my son to feel pushed out.

I'm hopefully a bridesmaid in September. I don't want her to feel let down.

We are meant to decorating my sons "big boy" bedroom. Do I move him to the bigger room and leave the nursery as it is? Do we wait until I'm further along?

I know these are silly reasons. I know. But this is all going on in my head right now.

Thank you all for being so lovely. Getting a bit teary! Thank

My gosh - my writing is atrocious today. I hope everyone gets the gist.

I apologise.

Hi, congratulations! Hopefully my story will make you feel better, we have an 8 month old boy and my pregnancy was horrendous, I had SPD from 16 weeks to the point I was using a Zimmer frame at the end. I also had a lower back problem that was crippling.

4 weeks ago I did a pregnancy test as I'd been gaining weight which I thought was due to medication I'm on but my tummy was really hard, I was 18 weeks pregnant! Now 22 weeks, no spd, no back problems and feel sooooo much better than last time. Every pregnancy is different so you may be fine this time 🤞what we're u poorly with last time?

You really are me!! We have a wedding in October where my son is a page boy and husband an usher...it's also a 5 hour drive away 🙈

I'm also worried about work as due to be moving into a promotion in May time and a pregnancy will make it impossible due to the job. I'm hoping the job will keep me on a waiting list for the post (as I am now) and not just boot me out of the waiting list without giving too much away what it is! Such a headache.

How are you feeling, any different at all?

My stomach hurts. But I don't know if that's just in my head. Not cramps, more aching around the top.

I'm also bloated but I've hardly eaten anything. Is that normal?

I really hope it's different this time. I had HG from 8 weeks until about 20 weeks. I had SPD from 16 weeks, that was hell. And then my labour was 40 odd horrific hours because my contractions were all over the place and my epidural didn't work. Though, at least that bit was exciting!

How do you feel @Annie1290 ?

How do you feel @Annie1290 ?

I'm feeling absolutely normal. Which I'm not sure is good or not good?!

Last time HG kicked in at week 6, hospitalised at week 8 and 11, and became manageable at week 16ish but continued until EMCS at 30 weeks for eclampsia.

Oh my gosh - the tiredness. I don't remember this from last time. And I'm not sure if I'm really tired or if I think I should be so I am.

Apart from that and not feeling hungry, I don't feel any different.

I've got no symptoms. Just tired. If I stretch thinking about it, I think I'm urinating more but that's about it. I don't remember much about last time other than the HG though tbh.
