First babies due in April

[donna474]

Hi all, so I've only just found out I'm pregnant! 3.5 weeks so still early on but looking for others in the same stages as me. Marginally terrified, apprehensive and anxious but majorly excited for my journey with little bean!

Loads of bloating which seems to have calmed a bit, really sore boobs and constantly knackered. No feeling sick as yet. Praying it stays away!

You?

Holy crap I feel like death!!!!!! Someone hit me with your tips for morning sickness please. I’m knackered, I’m sick, if I don’t eat for a few hours I’m even more sick, but I can’t stomach food either. I need help!!

Congratulations @purplestar9 !! Xx

@vicki6356 I feel your pain. Feeling sick most of the day as well as completely exhausted and a lovely headache today. My boobs are also like rocks and are sore. Even driving over speed bumps hurts atm! 😂 I genuinely feel like I have some kind of stomach bug or something. No actual sickness yet though

🤢🤢🤢

@CrystalBlaze not much at the moment (and hoping it stays that way!) I'm very achey, my back and all down the back of my legs are really bad, gonna need to do yoga frequently to keep them stretched out! And feeling a little tired but not majorly (but I am off work this week - might hit me hard when i go back next week).
Have you told anyone yet?

Thanks @Chivari hope you're doing well!

Yes good thank you @purplestar9 😀 it's lovely to see you over in this group now!

I am 6+3 now 😀😀

What's the deal with maternity bras? When do we need to get them? I read somewhere that when your boobs start changing (bigger, Fuller, changing shape) that you need to ditch the underwire and go for a maternity bra as you can end up with issues if you don't. I don't really want to go to one right now as they all look a tad frumpy and I'm still rather small breasted so don't feel like I need one.

@Chivari it's good to be moving over with some names I recognise :) so you're just over a week ahead of me then. Have you booked an appointment with a midwife yet?

@donna474 I honestly would never have thought of that. My boobs hadn't really hurt but just in the shower then I could feel they're getting a little tender... I suppose I may think about it if they get bigger (I already have fairly large boobs for my size!).

@chivari yes it’s horrible! I just want the morning sickness to end. I work with all men too which makes it worse as I can’t say anything. 😩😩

@purplestar we've told a couple of people and telling families this weekend I think.

@donna I'm already wearing sports bras as my boobs are so sore and massive. They're not normally massive at all!

I am in bed already because I've been tired from the moment I woke up today.

So sorry to all those suffering with sickness. Did you feel nauseous before or did it just hit you?

@CrystalBlaze I felt nauseous literally the day I found out I was pregnant, but it’s got worse since last week. I fainted at the weekend and bust my nose open!! I’ll try anything to make this stop

Oh @vicki you poor thing. That's awful! Can you get anything from the GP?

Ahhhh so lovely @purplestar9 😀😀 wonder what bubbas we will have? Yes I have an appt oh 20th September with the midwife. We also booked a private early reassurance scan for 15th sept. Have you got your midwife appt yet?

I am also in bed already. Have been since 8.30pm! Lol I'm finding the tiredness hard this week. Feel bad for my DH as I am just shattered all the time. Also finding it is making me feel slightly low.

Random TMI question but is anyone else still DTD now they know they are pg? If so, how much and are you finding it a bit weird? We are def finding it strange! Sure we will get used to it...

@Chivari yes I'm booked in for the 12th September.

I wanted to fall asleep on the sofa earlier today but I stopped myself, I want to sleep tonight, I struggled so much last night! Just having a read while DH plays xbox.

We haven't yet DTD since finding out (but we only found out today!) but I did think about it earlier, was thinking it might be a little strange, but I'm sure we'll give it a go in the next few days!

Vicki I would go to the go you might have hypermesis :(

We have @Chivari and it was a bit weird but fine. I asked DP how he felt about it after and he said "I just didn't think too hard about it"

@Chivari @CrystalBlaze @purplestar9
We haven't done it much since finding out as I've been feeling so sick and don't want DP to play with my sore boobs 😳😳
He cooked tea tonight, looked after me when I felt sick and we had just lovely sex because we wanted to, not to make a baby it was really sweet (soppy alert 😂l

Afterwards he laughed and said 'No legs against the wall tonight then'

I’ve totally gone off the thought of sex with this nausea, have dye once and it was fine but felt like I had a nagging thought and couldn’t entirely relax, I’d read something about first trimester sec and potential bleeding and it totally has put me off. Poor DH hopefully the libido with return in the 2nd trimester.

I just can’t sleep, I remember feeling exhausted last time, maybe it’s still early days and the exhaustion will come in a few weeks. I just want a scan!

@CrystalBlaze we have the same due date 👍

Anyone else on this thread pregnant after miscarriage? I miscarried in January so I'm anxious but trying to stay calm/positive. We've passed the point where the spotting started the first time so that's one milestone done - next one for us is a private scan we've booked for 8+1 Just trying to take it a day at a time.

Never thought I'd say it but I've been feeling so sick for days and I'm really glad!! I didn't with our first pregnancy so it's reassuring. Sore nips, so I've gone over to M&S wireless bras 👌🏻 Bit of a Madonna cone shape haha, but comfy! So tired too and not sleeping well because the mild cramps keep waking me up 💤

Due date buddies Llondbol

Are you having an early scan?

I’m gonna make an apt with a GP cause I cannot stand this sickness anymore. It’s a challenge to keep water down which surely isn’t right!

That doesn't sound right @vicki6356 - trust your gut and see the GP. Let us know what happens.

@CrystalBlaze We've booked one for 8+1 - ummed and ahhhd but I think it'll give us reassurance and another milestone to aim towards. How about you?

@chivari we've DTD a couple times but it depends on if I'm feeling too tired/sick or sometimes I've got a strange pressure or cramps happening as everything is stretching. SO has been really good though and not mentioned our lack of DTD but I know it must be killing him, but I really can't be arsed to make the effort right now either!

I'd like one @Llondbol but DP isn't too bothered. I guess there's no reason to panic at the moment so trying to be calm. Easier said than done though!

How is everyone feeling this morning? I am so so tired. And bloated. And my boobs are huge. DP finds it very amusing.

Hello! I am 8 weeks, first pregnancy :) Anyone else from Oxfordshire? x
