I think I am due around October 8th. I’m very nervous due to previous miscarriages and hypermesis in my last pregnancy. I’m already feeling pretty sick and only around 5 weeks but I’m definitely pleased. Just hope the baby sticks.

I'm so sorry @VillageFete all here to support you through this horrible time xxx

Hi congrats to all, I've just found out I'm 5weeks 6days after an early scan today following some bleeding, was a complete shock as we went planning for number 3, but happy now I know everything is ok, I must admit though I've never felt to rough and sick, never had it with my other two.

Markygirl1995 · 22/02/2018 17:59

@Heir0703 glad to hear all is okay and congrats xx

Hey everyone, I am around 5 weeks. I have some mornings I feel quite sick other days I'm all round feeling pretty well. I get a bit of back pain but that's generally it. I eat well everything that is gpps fpr the baby I dont drink caffeine at all either. Sound all good to everyone? Tia Lauren xx

Markygirl1995 · 23/02/2018 07:07

I drink caffeine but only the recommended amount if I didn't I don't know how I'd stay awake lol @laurenluke2017

Markygirl1995 · 23/02/2018 08:24

Don't know if this is a symptom but recently I've been so moody and snappy is anyone else getting like this or is it just me 😂🙈

Laney79 · 23/02/2018 08:35

Random question but is it ok to cook with booze whilst preggers? I was just doing my weekly shopping list and was going to do a chicken bacon cider casserole on Sunday-but then started worrying about the cider! Thoughts?

laurenluke2017 · 23/02/2018 09:02

@Markygirl1995 funny lol I just dont drink it i love fruit berries non caffeine tea Its lovely. !! Xx

Markygirl1995 · 23/02/2018 10:40

Think my nausea is kicking in does it feel like eating something you know you don't like that makes you feel like you're gagging 😂

Seeinglines · 23/02/2018 11:55

How’s everyone getting on. I’m due 28th October, so I’m 4 weeks 5 days today. My boobs are so sore already, I can’t bear my bra even touching them at the minute! I felt a bit nauseous yesterday in work, but none today on my day off Grin
I’ve booked a private scan for in two weeks for reassurance that everything is ok

RhiBee29 · 23/02/2018 13:41

@Seeinglines my EDD is 28th October too. I'm tempted by a private scan after mc last year. Thinking I might do it around 8wks.

Called gp to tell them I had a positive test and they've booked me in to see Midwife on 22nd March. Should I be seen earlier?

Markygirl1995 · 23/02/2018 15:44

I've eaten crap every day 🙈🙈 I need to stop I have a bag of chocolate buttons a day literally

Seeinglines · 23/02/2018 16:01

I’m waiting for my appointment, it should be in the post. I think it will be 19th March when I’ll be 8 weeks. Think that’s about right to see the midwife for the first time. I had a miscarriage last month so I’m super anxious about this pregnancy, that’s why we booked for private scan RhiBee29 I’m so worried about everything, and still doing a pregnancy test every other day. But they are getting darker so all good.

I’m trying my best to eat healthy, but I am feeling hungry a lot of the time. But I’m overweight so I need to cut down really.

I've had my Early Pregnancy Unit appointment and scan today. They said there is definitely a yolk sac there but it looks like I'm not yet 6 weeks so they couldn't quite see an embryo. I've got another scan on the 7th to check if things are progressing as they should. They couldn't see an obvious reason for the bleeding. The nurse said something along the lines of sometimes the lining is almost too thick and so a bit sheds off and pools causing some bleeding.

Feeling reassured but not totally at ease yet. Wish this brown spotting would stop now.

RhiBee29 · 23/02/2018 16:57

@Seeinglines I mc last June so I get where you're coming from. It's taken 6mths of TTC to fall pg again. I'm trying to be positive and calm. I've done 3 tests so far this week and all getting darker so fingers crossed 🤞

I'm feeling the hunger too but only for rubbish food! I'll be 30 foot wide at the end if I carry on like this!

RhiBee29 · 23/02/2018 16:57

@KnitKitty sounds positive, hope all goes well on the 7th!

Laney79 · 27/02/2018 10:26

Had my booking appointment letter through today-it's at 7pm!!! Do they normally do them this late? Wondering if they'll still take bloods? I'm petrified of needles so need to prepare myself!

Laney79 · 27/02/2018 10:27

7pm on 21st March that is!!!

Markygirl1995 · 27/02/2018 15:01

Probably depends on what hospital you go to, yeah I think they still do bloods @Laney79 dreading mine and doing a diabetes test because of the amount crap I eat

SLR1906 · 27/02/2018 16:47

@Laney79 bless you. I still have it all to come too. My docs dont see anyone until 10 weeks! Im super scared, my first appt is on thurs, (no bloods) but i have to make my bloods appt with midwife afterwards, my stomach and mind are both like washing machines just thinking about it!!

Laney79 · 27/02/2018 20:14

@SLR1906 fingers crossed all goes ok for you. X

Seeinglines · 27/02/2018 20:52

I’m still waiting for my first midwife appointment. I think I should get it in the post this week. Mine is at the gp surgery not the hospital, so I’m not sure if I’ll have bloods or not. Hopefully it will say on the letter.

Is anyone else having insomnia? I’m so tired all the time, but I wake up at stupid o clock every night and I’m awake for at least an hour. I’m not sure if it’s just worry (I am super worried) or if this is normal.

Markygirl1995 · 27/02/2018 21:06

@Seeinglines I wake up in the night quite frequently but for a drink or the loo lol

SJP164 · 27/02/2018 21:10

Hey. I’m due 6th October. In week 9 now and got midwife appointment next week. First baby and not planned but we are delighted. :)

RhiBee29 · 28/02/2018 13:20

@Seeinglines I've not slept properly since last Thursday, I'm exhausted and have a terrible headache 🤕 which I'm reluctant to take anything for. I know it's all anxiety related.
