Starting to worry I didn't have enough symptoms at 6+4 but right on cue, the vomiting has arrived🤢

RiverMeadow · 29/09/2018 07:09

@Bettyhop oh no!! I'm dreading it.

WoogleCone · 29/09/2018 07:20

Great news @lovewinemorethanhusband!

I'm 6+3 today, not feeling sick but sometimes feeling off food. It was the same with DC1 though so more than likely be the same.

Visiting DM and DSF next weekend, will tell them then even though it's early. Won't get a chance to see them until Xmas otherwise so I'm taking my chance while it's here. Also seeing DF today but not telling him, he can't keep his trap shut! 😂😂

Mummytoboyxx · 29/09/2018 08:21

@lovewinemorethanhusband! Great news 😁

Brownie12 · 29/09/2018 08:37

@Bettyhop I'm 6 weeks today. Still feel relatively fine apart from sore boobs and light headedness! Let's see what the next week brings!

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 29/09/2018 08:40

Thanks girls really please with the reaults, praying for a good scan

jackio2205 · 29/09/2018 08:45

Im 6 weeks now and due may 26th. Started feeling sick which I hope doesnt continue. In my first pregnancy I was sick for 7 months!
Good luck ladies! X

SafariGirl100 · 29/09/2018 10:31

@jackio2205 I am due 24th May. No sickness (yet). Fingers crossed!

If anyone is interested here is blip on ultrasound at 5.5weeks. Measured just over 1cm😍 There was a flickering which could be the heart. I have another scan booked next Weds to monitor the cyst I have (which is the large dark blob on other picture (that was 5cm lol).

Excited to see blip again at 7weeks!

Just got Very first BFP!! Due May 2019 anyone else??
Bouncer4me · 29/09/2018 12:24

It’s so exciting I’m 7 weeks now 😀😀 only 33 left lol.
How many weeks were any of you ladies when you had your booking in appointment? I’m wondering when I’ll get my appointment 😀😀 so hyper
Also is anyone else really bloated? I’m like majorly bloated to the point loads of my colleagues have guessed already

Floofsquidge · 29/09/2018 13:25

@Bouncer4me I'm 6+2 and so bloated I've had to order maternity gym leggings and jeans up a few inch sizes.

Lilbear14 · 29/09/2018 14:11

I've been feeling very very bloated and I'm 5 +2 weeks. Just on the edge of May with a due date of 31st atm so I may end up going into June.
I've felt that rough, horrible and just generally low I measured myself today and I've only bloated out and inch around my belly which isn't as bad as I feel.
I found out before my missed period, and it's already going so slow.

RiverMeadow · 29/09/2018 15:50

I'm also really bloated I've ordered 2 pairs of maternity jeans and one pair of maternity gym leggings!

P.s my booking appointment with MW is on the day I will be 7weeks exactly.

isbellrose · 29/09/2018 16:14

Hello. Never posted on here before. Just found out I'm five weeks pregnant. I'd had years of cysts, operations and severe period pain so I thought we might struggle to get pregnant. But to my surprise it happened after the first go. Delighted and absolutely terrified!!! Was not quite prepared for a positive test! I'm getting a lot of cramping which has waves of being relatively painful is this normal?! No other symptoms other than crazy hard nipples all the time Blush.
I have no friends who have been pregnant so no one to ask these questions to. Any help would be much appreciated!

user1467718508 · 29/09/2018 16:23

Congrats @isbellrose ☺️

I'm also 5 weeks, also first BFP and first try! It's a shock to the system seeing that positive when you've geared yourself up for a longer wait, isn't it!

My only symptom for the last week has been a dull ache/cramps.
From what I've read this is normal, unless they're severe or accompanied with bleeding.

It's times like this I wish I didn't have Google though 😶

isbellrose · 29/09/2018 16:28

@plantingandpotting congrats to you too!
Have you booked on your maternity services? I'm trying to decide between my local hospital which has bad reviews or one 20mins away technically outside my brorough so all my care would be quite far away.

user1467718508 · 29/09/2018 16:42

@isbellrose Yeah, my local didn't fill me with confidence either, when I compared the options side by side. As much as I tried to tune it out, I'd also heard a fair few negative things from people in the local community about this particular hospital.

I've asked my doctor to refer me to one in the next borough over, about a 25 minute car ride in day-time traffic.
The best one on the list was UCLH, but at 35 mins, it felt just a nudge too far.

Is your preferred choice easy to get to?

isbellrose · 29/09/2018 21:20

@plantingandpotting
Oh you’re London too. Which one did you pick? I’m trying to decide between Croydon and Orpington hospitals. Orpington is a 17 min car ride away so it’s doable (my husband has not passed his driving test yet though!!). Rating wise there is not much in it. Sort of feels like I’m choosing between a one star hotel and a two star hotel. I don’t particularly want to stay in either!

buntingandstarcharts · 29/09/2018 22:17

@isbellrose small world - I was born in Orpington hospital! Is go there! I'm not living nearby anymore but my family still use it and like it. My local is St George's and it's pretty great - anyone else? X

buntingandstarcharts · 30/09/2018 10:12

Anyone feeling like an elephant? I literally feel like I've put on 15 stone over a week! Feel awful, boobs hurt. No sickness but could just burst into tears any second! Wahhhh

Brownie12 · 30/09/2018 11:03

@buntingandstarcharts how far gone are you? We went for a meal with friends last night and I had to secretly undo my jeans, I was so bloated! I'm only 6+1 too! 🙈 no sickness either but boobs are horrendously sore!

Lilbear14 · 30/09/2018 16:27

Has anyone lost their appetite? Nausua has gone and so has the urge to stuff my face with anything I see. Almost like most of my symptoms apart from sore boobs have just stopped.

Mummytoboyxx · 30/09/2018 17:08

I’m 6+4 and the nausea and overwhelming tiredness have kicked in. I’ll orova go to bed at the same time as my 3 year old tonight! @Lilbear14 I wouldn’t worry about disappearing symptoms. With my DS they came and went throughout the first trimester x

Mummytoboyxx · 30/09/2018 17:08

*probably

buntingandstarcharts · 30/09/2018 17:09

@Brownie12 I am 6 weeks tomorrow - feeling vile! But obviously delighted all at the same time. My boobs are enormous and painful as hell!

WoogleCone · 30/09/2018 18:22

Hi ladies!

I've felt rough this weekend, bit cold like. Probably because my 2 yr old sneezed IN my mouth Envy
