Due February 2019...

[Kilkers]

I’ve just had my BFP after 3 years of trying, will be DC2 (touches wood). The NHS due date calculator has my due date around the 2nd Feb. Anyone else ready to jump on board?

Hi 👋

Can I join? TTC for one year with a 6 week miscarriage and 7 week MMC at 12 week scan. Feeling a little anxious that this will be the same but naturally I am excited too.

3rd time lucky and I am due 18th Feb 19 👶🏼

Wow, talk about nauseous! It really kicked in yesterday, felt sick pretty much all day (and in the night). Haven't actually been sick though.

Welcome to all newcomers xx

@Frowningflamingo Hi! It’s so lovely to have some friendly names here! How are you getting on? X

Hi to all newcomers, and congratulations!

Woken up today with my hips and back aching, OH is reassuring me that it's just ligaments stretching, just hoping he's right! 🤞

@Leonora94 just have lemonade so it still has the bubbles with a slice of lemon/lime!

I feel the worst in the evenings just before bed, horrendous nausea but only been sick once so far!
First time pregnant so all a new experience, 5 weeks now so just hoping everything stays good... can't wait until everyone can know, so hard keeping it a secret!

@ronniemipperton fab work on avoiding detection!
I'm trying to come up with a plan of action for a mini BYOD festival next weekend which usually involves copious amounts of prosecco and wine and all sorts from 1-11sat and 12-8sun 🙈 if I claim antibiotics they will see right through it. I think I'm going to have to accept a glass and then subtly ditch it (I'm sorry prosecco!) and then move on to 'gin' (tonic water) hoping everyone will get drunk quickly so they don't notice?!

@Leonora94 mums are tricky, I gave in and told mine as she’s too hard to deceive!

Though I reckon generally if you’re wandering around with a half empty glass no-one pays too much attention, especially if they’re drinking as well.

Gosh my nausea has kicked in now. Am 6+1 and felt so sick all night. This morning I have been sick although just liquid. Not sure if pregnancy related or bug as didn't have any sicknsss with DS. Urgh....

@maxiflump1 - that was me last night! Felt so rough all evening and then in the night. I still felt rough when I got to but feel much better after having some toast. Not really sure what's best for nausea? X

Does anyone else feel nausea when driving? My daily commute is now awful! It's not long but I feel like crap!

When I had my dd, I couldn't drive so this is totally new to me.

@MrsSnootyPants2018 I had that with my DS. Was driving home from work and threw up all over my steering wheel! Wasn't pleasant

@craftymum01 that's what I'm afraid of!!

@MrsSnootyPants2018 I kept a carrier bag to hand after that

@Leonora94 I'm worse for nausea on an evening, then can't get to sleep!

@Bluelagoon25 I find the best thing for it is eating.

I haven't vomited at all but feel sick most the day, though this morning don't feel as awful, maybe because I got to sleep at a reasonable hour last night, thankfully!

Does anyone have any tips for nausea? I really think I just need to eat little and often but what to eat? I don't want to be the size of a house if I can help it lol x

I find I feel worse if I don't eat, but also if I eat too much! I've got rich tea biscuits to nibble on as dry stuff seems to work better than fruit or vegetable.

@Wellthisunexpected - Yeah fruit and veg just doesn't cut it! If happily snack on biscuits all day but after my first pregnancy I really want to avoid gaining so much 😩 lol x

I've found eating little and often is defo the trick. I've been having sliced apple, frozen grapes, crackers with little bit of Philadelphia, cuppa soup, crisps, ginger biscuits

I've not been sick but have nausea waves I've found corn cakes to be pretty good at helping Sainsbury's do multi packs including chocolate covered ones.

Welcome to all the newcomers. I went for a private scan last night and there were 2 heartbeats. I am totally shocked as I really really don't want twins. I need to go back in 2 weeks time to see whether they both stay or one twin vanishes. One was smaller than the other but the heartbeat was stronger. We shall see. I am 7weeks already, due on 1st February.

@ronniemipperton - brilliantly done!

@Karigan198 - I hope it all goes well for you

@FH14 Welcome and congratulations :)

I'm relying on cut up fruit and rice cakes for nausea, so jealous of all you ladies eating cakes and biscuits! I lost just over 3 and a half stone before falling pregnant and my bmi is 29 so I can't afford to gain weight especially so early on, I'm hoping to continue losing through first tri - nausea again really helping if I ignore my craving for cake, chips and cheese!

Wow @Lily311 what a shock for you! Is there a history of twins in either of you families? Do u mind me asking how old you are?

No history in either families. I'm 38 turning 39 in a couple of months and I have a DD who is nearly 6.

Wow! I know the chances of twins increase as you get older. I'm 37 nearly 38 and it's something I worry about. for you x

Wow twins...not sure how I’d feel about that!! Just waiting for my scan at the ivf clinic. 6+2 and v anxious!
