I'm 4w5d and wondered if anyone else fancied joining me on the amazing journey to come?
First, second, third or fourth (or more!!) timers welcome!

This will be #1 after a long 18 months of miscarriages, infertility and heartache but i'm feeling super positive about this one and ready to enjoy the next few months!

@summerblush1982
Mine started about week 6 however my boob soreness has died down. My friend who is around 17 weeks said she had no symptoms other than tiredness. Has had no sickness/food aversions and it wasn't until her scans did she feel pregnant.
I was worried about my symptoms coming and going but the MW said this is pretty normal and some people don't experience any of the 'normal' symptoms at all x

Summerblush1982 · 27/07/2017 21:23

Thankyou ladies @1sttime84 @lauralou031986 it's reassuring. It's got me worried today as someone said that sickness is a sign that all is good and in order. I know every pregnancy is different but just got me thinking 'what if'.

1sttime84 · 27/07/2017 21:34

Ahh I've been thinking 'what if' since I found out 🙈 It's hard especially with google at your fingertips. Even now I still moan to DH that I don't have x symptom or this symptom has disappeared and he just says was I the only one listening to the MW 🙄

Summerblush1982 · 27/07/2017 21:50

@1sttime84 lol, so very true! I haven't ever googled as much as I have done now!! First time so don't know what to expect, curiosity always gets the better of you doesn't it!! X

@CL1982 the pregnancy pillow is for when bump starts to get heavy in bed, it supports it. Or if you have sore hips it goes between your legs to support them. Iv got sore hips already maybe because it's my third. They are super comfy. Sciatica started tonight 😳😳

@CL1982 last time I just used a couple of cheap pillows from asda....then took them into hospital with me as hospitals never have enough pillows (they went in the bin when we got home!!!)
You do feel the benefit of something later on in pregnancy in bed.

Lovely wee scan @CL1982

Just dropping in. First time pregnant - 14+5 today!! Feeling extremely tired.

Congratulations girls hope your all doing well ❤️

CL1982 · 28/07/2017 12:28

Thanks - good to hear from you :)

Yes all going well. Still freaking out (had a teeny spot of blood the size of a pin head to day and trying to be calm about everything) but other than that good! Trying to ask midwife if she can book in my 12 week scan as it's getting tricky with work now.

Actually anyone else have this currently? Especially now i can't lift i'm struggling a little....

@CL1982 I've been lucky as I can WFH however the last 2 weeks I've taken the piss a bit and have been home more than in the office. My hardest bit is the not ordering a drink when we have had a team lunch or dinner. I'm usually the first with a glass of wine 🙈

mummyGof2boys · 28/07/2017 12:51

@CL1982 I'm a childminder and I also work on a care home. For both I have had to contact people to do risk assessments as with the care home I work with heavy equipment to move people and they are long 12 hour shifts. I'm self employed with the childminding so has to do my own risk assessment but had to contact the governing body to let them know

CL1982 · 28/07/2017 13:21

Thanks everyone and awesome on the pillow advice. I did have a sore hip the other day so hoping that was a one off for a while :)

Actually can we get a timeline of what everyone's dd are and where they are?? Maybe people can copy the list as people add themselves and hopefully we'll have a complete list at the end?!

Ok, i'll start:

CL1982 (Claire) - DD 02/03/2018 - 9 weeks today!

KerryLeanne84 · 28/07/2017 15:41

Good idea!

I'm Kerry - DD 4/03/2018 - 8 weeks and one day (odd that our due dates are so close Claire but I had IUI so that's what the nurse told me - shrugs) - who ever knows when a baby will arrive!

Lauralou031986 · 28/07/2017 15:45

@kerryleanne84 That is weird! It does depend heavily i guess on when you ovulated. I was temping so know when i did and so far according to scans it seems to be bang on. If not i'd always been a week on (so i'd think i was 10 weeks right now) and then be worried when we were a week behind. They are a bit all over the place with dating from what i can see!!

Congratulations Linz and welcome! How are you feeling?

LinzLinz · 29/07/2017 16:07

Thank you @KerryLeanne84 I feel great, I feel completely normal so it's crazy to imagine what is going on in there! It's my first, only trying since May, feeling excited and nervous all at once which I'm hoping is completely normal?!
