sunshinela - I find it really hard to be positive. I have to defy logic and hope it will be ok but also keep reminding myself it probably won't be to stop me going crazy. I analyse every twinge, squeeze my boobs to check if they hurt and generally act like a maniac.

sunshinela · 28/09/2011 22:10

midget ahhh we are totally in the same boat. It's so hard but it's kind of good to hear we are going through the same motions.
I just keep trying to remind myself it's out of my control and just hope mother nature works foe me this time.
Have you told any of your family? or are you keeping it quiet like me?
I am just trying to do everything opposite to what I did last time just to try my luck :)

Midgetm · 28/09/2011 22:29

It is totally out of our control, that's what makes it so unbearable. I told my pilates teacher and my DH and that is it. I may tell family if we get a strong heartbeat at 6 weeks but only if very strong. Coming on this board is my outlet to stop me blabbing to the milkman. I know it is hard to relax but do try. 'They' do say 1 miscarriage is 'normal'. It is devastating but it really doesnt increase your odds of having another one. I know this logic probably doesnt help much but i thought i could give it a try. It is the longest wait when you are feeling every twitch or twinge. It is pregnancy madness that makes it so much bloody worse! Hang in there and let's both try not to go loony! X

Hi all, absolutely knackered today - felt like was awake all night worrying over the fact that I just don't feel pg any more.... I don't know what it is but I feel like it's gone wrong ....Sad
I don't know why, haven't had any large bleeds (a bit of spotting here and there but nothing much) it's just my boobs seem less sore, am not tired any more, haven't had any sickness at all etc etc ... Surely there should be SOME sign shouldn't there?!
Any reassurance gratefully received, have never done this before, so my instincts could be way off.
Got my booking in apt next wed so guess they'll be able to do tests and thing then.
Definitely second (or third) the others saying that this has got to be the longest 12 weeks in the world!
Thanks guys
Xx

Feeling ever so tired today. Slight cramping and nausea but I
Think this heat is contributing. I hate it, bring on the cold and snow!

Apart from previous pregnancy complications, how do you get an early scan?

Feeling a bit low today, worrying lots about dps accident case. Hate the heat once again.
And I just feel drained of mind,body and spirit! Need a nap! Will try and have one
When dd has hers.

Its difficult not letting slip to anyone, my best mate said yesterday "you're not pegnant
Again are you?!" (I asked for urine pot at drs!) I said no, just checking for uti!

And my other friend said "are you guys trying? And I said no!

My dad came round and said "oh you wore that top when you were pregnant with dd!"

So funny how things get mentioned?!

Hi Wommer - just wanted to say that I had pretty awful MS, sore boobs etc last time then when I was about 9 weeks I just woke up one morning and all of the symptoms had vanished. I didn't feel pregnant any more and was completely stressed that it had gone wrong but at the 12 weeks scan the bean was wiggling all over the place. DD arrived a little late but totally healthy. I know you're not quite that far along yet but just wanted to let you know that your symptoms can vanish and it doesn't have to be bad news.

I'm shattered! I've been going to bed at 9.30pm and sleeping right through but I still feel like a nap at lunchtime. I don't remember being this tired last time around. The MS has started too - it's still quite mild, just a bit queasy and lightheaded if I don't eat regularly and I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse.

lucy23110 · 29/09/2011 10:17

Hi, this is my first time on here but just needed to be able to talk about being pregnant!!!! Am 5 weeks due end of may and so scared that all is not well, just like wommer. No reason, apart from feeling very tired I feel OK. I have 1 DD who will be 4 in Nov and was't planning on anymore but now I am expecting I want ( well we want) this so much. I also was awake all last night convincing myself something as wrong. Haven't been to doctors as yet as my mum is a receptionist so won't be able to keep it from her and wanted to wait as long as poss. I don't remember feeling like this first time round, ahhhhh. L x

WidgetWB · 29/09/2011 11:02

I fell over. Badly on my bottom and hit my head so hard I couldn't breathe and then couldn't stop crying, proper sobbing. Entirely my own fault, was doing army fitness session and pushed myself very hard in competition and tripped and fell at full speed. Might have answered my own problem, although if not, then I think it has helped me make my mind up as my immediate thought was 'oh the baby'. So we will see what happens. What are the chances of falling to make it fall out?

alwaysanauntie · 29/09/2011 11:04

Morning all, lucy & wommer I haven't really had any symptoms either, and was wondering if it had all been a big joke (will be dc1 for me) too. However, woke up with cracking headache this morning & have been feeling quite rough (scoffing ginger nuts to stave off queasiness).

On the boobs front mine are now ok most of the time but were ridiculously sore when I got up to go to the loo in the night, so that does chop and change...

Dozey how have u managed to keep it so quiet?! I'm very impressed, I nearly blabbed to the sandwich man at work this morning!

alwaysanauntie · 29/09/2011 11:08

Widget hope all's ok, fingers crossed for you Xx

twittertotter · 29/09/2011 11:24

morning all, how are we all feeling today?

I am 5+3 weeks and knackered all the time. bed at 9pm last night and slept through to 7am...

Still no sore boobs which I had with DD but maybe I am too early ?

Am also coming down with a nasty cold ... win win!

Did manage to drag myself to docs this morning and was told it would take 4 week before I'd hear from a midwife about getting booked in - which is SUCH a long wait. Not sure if that's a London thing or if everyone else has t to wait until 8/9 weeks before seeing a midwife?

on the upside No MS .... yet...

leaky · 29/09/2011 12:36

Hi all, hi bigboobsatlast saw you asking after me last week. Yes, I eventually got my AF which was a relief in the end. I do love being pg but we weren't planning more so it's all good.

Just thought I'd post the list for you all with my name removed & wow there's a lot of you on here now Smile

Happy pregnancies to you all & congratulations, oh & enjoy!

Keep forgetting to ask - why can't we drink coffee? Last four times it has made me feel gross at the smell but not this time - can I or can't i drink it an why not please? You would think I would know.

Also, for all those first time mothers getting their knickers in a twist (totally understandably) about the fact that they don't feel ill - just wait. You are still so early. Often it doesn't kick in at all till 7/8 weeks and sometimes not at all. Trust me as one who is now on number 5 pregnancy - 4th baby - lost twins - I haven't felt anything serious till then. There is so much to worry about, try not to worry about feeling ill, coz you will wish you didn't when you do! xx

iowmum88 · 29/09/2011 13:40

So hot today had to resort to wearing shorts with my reflective White legs on show!!

Am in the process of moving in the next few weeks so am having to change GPs hopefully they can get me an appointment soon as poss so can get booking appointment in. 1st DS was born prematurely so do you think they will give me an early scan?? As am sooooo worried it will happen again and need a bit of reassurance as know one told me anything and gave me no reason as to why it happened.

Only symptoms I an having so far are sore boobs, tired and feeling bloated!!!

Wommer · 29/09/2011 13:49

Thanks all.
Widget it's so good to have reassurance from someone who's been there and done it! Keep trying to remind myself that it's only 6 weeks (+2) which isn't very long.

Re coffee I think we can but only 200 mg of caffeine per day, which is 2ish mugs (depending on which website you look at). More than that can cause problems I think.
Hope you're feeling ok after your fall?
Xxx

WidgetWB · 29/09/2011 15:05

Thanks wommer - most helpful. Have been drinking decaf after lunch, just the one, but having posted just before lunch, really didn't like it! Perhaps the hate is kicking in! Was so weird how the fall just made me cry. Proper heart rendering sobs. Uncontrollable. No emotion as in, there was nothing making me cry, just my body. Have a headache now but think that might be more pregnancy than having banged it.

Food now starting to have gross taste, everything tastes just slightly odd or different.

School run, see you soon.

Dozeyland · 29/09/2011 15:40

alwaysanauntie I know, we told our family the day after we found out with dd!
We just think that waiting until the scan, giving them all a picture with dd wearing her "I'm going to
Be a big sister top" will be fab!

I am 6+3weeks. Tired (heat isn't helping) memory is pants (lack of quality sleep I think)
Had a short nap with dd earlier which I think helped.

Just feel hungry!

If I remember I had no symptoms with dd, had a fab pregnancy, only bad thing was
At week 7/8 I had like 3days where I had a migrane. Other than that it was bliss!
(Oh and when she was 5days over I would have to army roll out of bed where
My bump was like a solid football on my small frame!

How old is everyone again? I'm 22

Enfyshedd · 29/09/2011 21:01

Evening all. 6 weeks today, and had to leave work due to MS and headache from not sleeping properly all week. Managers and my closest friends (who aren't in the same dept) are the only ones who know in the office. Hormones also being a pain today - one of my mates saw me as I was about to go and was starting to get all teary because I felt such a mess having to leave mid morning, so he walked me out and gave me a hug to help me feel better.

Am hoping a cool pad on my head will help with sleeping tonight and have taken things easy since getting home. Just hope I don't start tomorrow morning head down in the loo again!! Blush

Dozeyland · 30/09/2011 08:09

enfyshedd that must be horrid. I can't handle being sick anyway let alone MS. Luckily
Not had any yet (and didn't with dd) but had a spell of a 3day migraine with her pregnancy.
I just keep need and wanting naps, but just need to try and do so when dd has hers.

There is always something to do though, or a place to go to. Tut

Hope your MS and Mgrane eases offx

Russki · 30/09/2011 09:04

Have been feeling very nauseous and very tired (am 7w today) but have in the last two days have experienced almost no symptoms (although still do feel tired). I know i shouldn't grumble (and i'm encouraged by earlier posts), but i'm a little worried that the morning sickness seems to have just vanished, and now fretting that all might not be well.
anyway, i guess i should be thankful i'm not feeling rotten anymore, but entirely agree with others that a bit of sickness etc is encouraging..

Tell me more right?

Hopefully get a scan date soon.
