So heres a thread. Hope you all find it!

Congrats we've made it this far Wine

My worry at 5 weeks is I just feel apathetic and numb. Not excited, not looking forward. Not even fear. Just.... nothing. Constant knicker watch.

Plus wondering whether to push for an early scan and if so when? Losses were 9 and 11 weeks.

Hmm. Now I'm pretty sure it's illegal for them to do that? I'd hold off. You deserve this Job X

I had a job interview this week and I told them. My current boss is really lovely and supportive and the way I saw it, I wanted to give them the choice to reject me because if they did, they are not the type of people I want to work for anyway. But I didn't NEED the job so I guess I went in a bit cocky.

Amyyy27 · 14/03/2015 20:21

Aww thanks ladies. Yeah thats what im thinking guy but in the other hand i feel really cheeky saying i want your job but you will have to give me mat leave in 6 months!!

Good evening all. I was beginning to think you'd all left!

I've no idea amyyy, sorry.

Fx for job offers ladies. My OH has told me to stop applying for new jobs for now coz have a reasonable maternity package currently and would completely lose it if I got into the company I want to.

Anyone else feeling as nauseous yet?

Not nauseous yet but my eczema is really playing up.

Itch itch itch

Amyyy27 · 14/03/2015 21:01

I checked and cant find anything worrying so thats good!

Boooo to the nausea and eczema! :(

No nausea here for the moment! Im thinking it will kick in next week. Exhaustion is kicking my butt though. Ive had a nap earlier and could nod off again im so tired!

chasingtherainbow · 14/03/2015 21:16

If my sickness could hold off till I'm home from holiday at the end of the month I'd be very grateful.

Not least because the last time I was that far along I was also there. . And spent 4 days in hospital very very poorly thanks to dd taking me for all I had!

Amyyy27 · 15/03/2015 07:37

Aww chasing fingers crossed!

Morning everyone!

Can i tentatively whisper happy mothers day everybody! Smile

chasingtherainbow · 15/03/2015 07:40

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

None of us know what our lives will look like a year from now... but today we are mothers with precious babies growing inside us. Today we are pregnant. Today we are mummy's.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 15/03/2015 07:47

I'm still in bed while dh and dd make pancakes.
I dread to think what my kitchen looks like right now.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 15/03/2015 07:47

Yep, Happy Mothers day!

My son has done loads of cards and stories for me and we've already had our daily wrestle (still can't believe mw said its ok).

Now breakfasting on pancakes and maple syrup. And trying to ignore the background nausea.

Happy Mothers Day all,

I have a lovely card from "the bun in the oven"

Lets hope this time next year we will all be woken up at the crack of dawn by little squishy babies

chasingtherainbow · 15/03/2015 10:01

I'm soooo excited to be sharing this experience with you all.

What's everyone's current edd?

MsJupiter · 15/03/2015 10:02

That's lovely Chasing. Happy Mother's Day to all of you. Like a fool I did a test this morning as I had been feeling wobbly about whether it was real or not - if it had been anything other than a v dark line that would have ruined my day! Fortunately a line appeared straight away, darker than the control. Phew! So yes, today we are pregnant.

DS made a nice card at nursery and gave me a book for me to read to him Grin as well as some flowers and chocs. Feel very lucky and happy. Hope the future holds more happiness for us all.

I'm not writing my edd until I have proof of a viable pregnancy. It is however the date I started spotting with the miscarriage last year. Is that irony?

Happy Mother' Day everyone. Today we are pregnant - hurrah!
It is exactly one year since my last miscarriage - I'm trying not to dwell too much on that. I did another test this morning (thank goodness they are mega cheap internet ones, otherwise I would be spending a fortune!) - a lovely reassuringly dark line appeared. I compared it to the one I did a week ago and it is amazing how different it is. Last weekend I wasn't even sure if there WAS a line! Still early days though, I'm approx 5 weeks gone, like Gr33dy I am not working out exact dates until I am further down the line and have made it as far as a successful scan.
I still haven't told my dh. We are due to run in a 10k race next weekend and I know he would say I shouldn't do it. I took up running after my miscarriage as a way of getting fit and taking my mind off things. It is a great stress reliever. I do intend to run next weekend, just slower than I normally would and I won't be breaking any records. I might tell him afterwards though Smile

chasingtherainbow · 15/03/2015 13:47

Blimey Office! How are you keeping so quiet? I told the post lady this morning! only kidding but I totally wanted to

EDD is 16 Nov here. . . Our very first scan falls on the same day I first felt dd kick. I dug out her pregnancy diary the other night and i had written it down. I hope it's a good omen. I had some uncomfortable pain on my ectopic side this morning but it passed (i sleep on my tum and needed a wee?) and I've had an amazing time with dd just me and her. DH had to work. Again. . Really missing his company.

fififolle · 15/03/2015 14:19

officelady that's superb news, congratulations. Welcome to the 5 week club Smile Flowers

chasingtherainbow · 15/03/2015 14:55

Moment of weakness. Haha. Peed on every last one in the house. My lines were really faint this time last time.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 15/03/2015 15:17

Yey chasing!
I'm not feeling confident. I am going to be some serious nausea like I had with dd in the next couple of weeks it I just know this one is going to fail like last time. I did get nausea last time, just not as bad.
Just can't see it working out. I'm consoling myself with the knowledge that there is fuck all I can do about it. Just wait.

chasingtherainbow · 15/03/2015 15:19

Oh guy. I'm so sorry you feel such a sense of doom about it. Is there really anything in particular that's making you feel this way or a feeling? I once read a thread on MN about impending doom feelings and reality and loads of people posted saying they had felt the pregnancy wouldn't work out even though they were fairly far along and they were all unfounded xx
