@Marie1990xyep the first trimester is the worst!! 🤣 and no one knows either so you’re keeping it all a secret! My scan is on fri 11th, my MIL & my brothers birthday and my sons original due date 🤣

Marie1990x · 28/03/2025 20:53

@Daniki literally! Me and my husband have only just really started talking about it properly too, so doesn’t feel real at all. Think once it’s out the bag on Sunday it’ll start feeling more real.

Hahaha that’s a busy day for birthdays! Nice not too long to go then, and everything is absolutely fine at the moment so it’s all very very positive 🥰🥰

@Marie1990xoh defo once you can start talking about it for sure! 🥰 I was in bed for half 9 last night the tiredness is unreal! Are you sick today?

Marie1990x · 29/03/2025 15:12

@Daniki nothing wrong with an early night 😊 make the most of the sleep 😅.

sickness hasn’t been too bad today, just a bit nauseous earlier but not physically sick. I did my digital this morning and got my 3+, sooner than I expected to be honest, so will try stop doing any testing now 😅.

@Marie1990xbrilliant! 🤩 defo make the most of it, im hoping my husband doesn’t go to the pub tonight as il defo end up having to get up with my son in the morning 🙄🤣

Marie1990x · 30/03/2025 09:12

@Daniki haha did he go to the pub in the end?

was lovely to have a lie in this morning and not have to get up with my daughter 😂

OP posts:
Daniki · 30/03/2025 09:15

@Marie1990xhe didn’t actually! And typically I was awake at half 6, and no one else was. I was getting up at ten to 8 to make toast before I got sick and my husband woke up and made it then 🤣 my son didn’t get up to 8! Unheard of but not surprising seeing as it wasn’t my turn to get up 🤣 going to go have a nose round the shops by myself to a while now as we’re going for dinner with my parents in law later. Let me know how it goes telling your mam 🙌🏻

Marie1990x · 30/03/2025 09:42

@Daniki oh that’s so typical!!! To be honest I completely forgot the clocks changed so thinking about it I didn’t get a lie in at all 😂. Only clicked now when I saw the time on the oven and confused myself.

That sounds like a perfect morning to me! Enjoy 😊.

I will do eek 😁 xx

@Marie1990xhow did your Mother’s Day go? Did your mam get a big shock? I had a lovely day and we went out for a nice dinner, was spoilt! And typically my son was up at 3.30am this morning, I just knew that would happen 🤣

Marie1990x · 31/03/2025 11:34

@Daniki aww it went really well thanks. She was SO shocked, never seen her that speechless 😂.

Sounds like a lovely day 😊. On god 3:30!!! That is torture 😅😅

OP posts:
Daniki · 31/03/2025 11:38

@Marie1990xaw lovely! I’d imagine so especially after talking about your hycosy 🤣 I know, I feckn knew it would happen as he got up later on Mother’s Day 🤣

Marie1990x · 31/03/2025 20:51

@Daniki haha yeah she was shocked I’d managed to keep it to myself 😂.

hopefully he’s gone to bed nice and early tonight?

I’m absolutely exhausted. Can’t keep my eyes open. I went to bed last night at like 8:30 slept solid and still shattered today. I’m thinking it might be my iron. Happened in my last pregnancy and then with my
bloods a few months ago saying I was low in it I’m guessing it’s that

OP posts:
Daniki · 31/03/2025 21:02

@Marie1990xoh probably, can to get your bloods done? I quite liked spatone iron there I was taking it to get mine up! Yea he has thank god I hope he’s not going to get up really early again. Going to hit the hay now myself and hope for a long night 🤣🤞🏻

Marie1990x · 01/04/2025 08:49

@Daniki I’ve started taking an extra iron tablet so I’ll see how I get on with that. They’ll check my levels at my booking appt on 17th anyway 😊. I might have a look at the liquid iron you mentioned!
I got some of those tests that say how far you are up to 6 weeks. According to my OPK’s I should be like 5+3, from LMP I’m 6 weeks exactly, and the test has shown 6+. So I don’t know if I just have high hcg or I ovulated earlier than I thought 😂.

how are you getting on? How’s the sickness? X

Daniki · 01/04/2025 08:55

@Marie1990xnever seen those tests before! I’d say ovulated earlier as you had two peaks didn’t you prob ovulated the first peak? Sometimes our bodies just have a mind of their own 🤣 iv an awful migraine today been up since 3 sick with it so iv rang in sick, and just waiting on the chemist to open to try and get something for it so i can go home and get back into bed 🫣 how’s yours? Xx

Marie1990x · 01/04/2025 09:19

@Daniki yeah but I’ve counted 5+3 from my first peak 😂 god knows, will see what they measure at our scan next week. It was the same with my daughter but at the nhs one they still stuck to the LMP date even though I know for sure it was later than that.

oh no bless you!! You’re having such a rough ride with it! Don’t blame you for calling in sick. Have you managed to get something? Get that taken and back into bed!

Mine isn’t too bad. Keep getting headaches and nausea but haven’t physically thrown up since that one time a few days ago. Seems to be when I can smell food it turns my stomach but when I eat it eases it

OP posts:
Daniki · 01/04/2025 11:34

@Marie1990xyes I got my usual migraine tablet found out it is safe to take thank god! I’m coming round now and the guilt is eating at me for not going in, always the way! Maybe it’s just high HCG but exactly you’ll know soon enough! Is it Sunday week then your scan is?! 🙌🏻 it’s strange how the food actually eases it aswell as making us sick 🤣 I couldn’t keep my dinner down last night 🤣

Marie1990x · 01/04/2025 15:09

@Daniki ah bless you, make the most of being at home and get better! Glad it’s helped though and at least you know you can take it when pregnant.

Yeah a week on Sunday, so the 13th. Hopefully it comes by quickly. Think as long as I hear a heartbeat I will chill out, then it won’t be too long until my nhs one.

When’s your next one?

Yeahhh I know! I’d said to my husband I don’t think I’ll be able to eat but it was fine! Think I’ll just be living off bland and beige food for a while 😂

OP posts:
Daniki · 01/04/2025 15:16

@Marie1990xyep the bland diet is the one! 🤣 feck it, if it gets us through! I have a scan Friday week the 11th, roll on! 🤣 iv started a new series on the couch but also doing laundry inbetween so I don’t feel as bad 😅

Marie1990x · 01/04/2025 19:13

@Daniki haha exactly! I’ll be sharing chicken nuggets with my daughter 😂.

ahh yeah that will make you feel more productive 😂 how are you feeling tonight?

OP posts:
Daniki · 01/04/2025 20:26

@Marie1990xnot too bad thankfully had a shower there and will hit bed whenever my son finally falls asleep! How are you? Haha the maccies cravings be unreal I think I’m really lacking in salt 🤣

Marie1990x · 01/04/2025 21:35

@Daniki oh good, glad you’re feeling better 😊. Back to
work tomorrow?

Yeah I’m not bad just constantly tired. Just come to bed now which is a late night for me recently 😅. Stomachs feeling all dodgy after starting my iron tablets again.

Hahah love a maccies! Take it while you can use baby wanting it as an excuse 😂

Marie1990x · 03/04/2025 15:05

@Daniki oh nooo! You’re having such a rough ride! Have you had the medication? That’s great timing that you’ve been working from home though!

I’m good, but my sickness today has been constant and quite awful. I haven’t physically been sick but the nausea isn’t giving up 😫

OP posts:
Daniki · 03/04/2025 15:47

@Marie1990xbloody hate the nausea! Is it going when you eat at all? No I didn’t get the medication iv a GP app next Thurs il mention to him but im hoping it will start to clear up soon anyway 🤞🏻🙏
