August 2019

[Chocolate89]

Hello!! Anyone else just find out that they are expecting in August?? 🤗🤗

Me too @Belle2008 ! Why do we will these symptoms on ourselves
I'm ultra tired and nauseous today. I had an awful nights sleep because every time I moved I'd feel as if I was going to throw up. 6 weeks has definitely hit here!

Hello newbies. Lots of august babies!
Feeling sick for me is very reassuring, the drs and midwives told me in my last pregnancy that sickness is a good sign, means everything is going strong.
So I’m waiting for the sickness to hit. I have felt a little nauseous but I’m still not sure if it’s because of this horrible cold I have. When I cough and phlegm comes up it makes me gag! (Sorry). Boobs are feeling a little tender today as well. I think I’m 5+1.

I know ninu what are we like😂

I've not been sick once with my previous 2 pregnancys so fingers crossed this one will be the same roll on Wednesday 😊 xx

Hi Ladies, can I join?!

GOT MY FIRST BFP YESTERDAY🌟
After 14 cycles!!!!!
Followed by 2 more this morning (with stronger lines!
GP appointment this afternoon to get the ball rolling!

Approx 4+1
💜💗

Congratulations xlauraa
Wow that's quick for a doctors appt had to wait 2 weeks for mine!
Hope it goes well xx

@Belle2008 thankyou 😍
I know right! I usually get appointments fast I'm quite lucky! X

Hey newbies! Congrats!💕

Anyone wanting an update on the crazy "friend" here goes, woke up to a text about how I'm not supportive and how I'm an awful person because I didn't comment on her scan photo and she dragged my dh into it by trying to comment on our actually very happy marriage 😂 told me there was no excuse for me not messaging the group because being tired isn't a valid reason apparently. Ah well I'm blocking her because I don't need that crazy in my life...just waiting for her to sign us up to Jeremy Kyle next for ignoring her 😂😂

Also told my other two friends and they are so excited and we're absolutely lovely which has cheered me up!!

How's everyone doing today? Feeling sick still and tired 😴😴💕💕

You definitely don’t need that sorta “friend” @avacadooo!
I’m feeling like crap today sickness kicked in yesterday and today I’ve felt nauseous all day long. I’m so exhausted Aswell & period pain cramps so keep checking to see if I’m bleeding 😔. I’m a beautician and this is obviously our extremely busy period in work with Christmas but I am so drained! Don’t know how I’m going to do the 70 hour week next week 😩 6w3d today x

@avacadooo sounds like a good idea. You don't need that stress! I still haven't told anyone yet. We like it being our little secret. And I guess because I haven't had a doctors apt yet I'm just partly waiting for the official confirmation. (Even though I'm 99% sure it's definitely real!!)

I have zero symptoms today! It's so strange! Nausea has gone for now, bloating calmed down, just really tired. I've heard it perks up again at 6 weeks though (which is what I will be on Monday!)

How is everyone else doing on symptoms? Do they come and go for you all!?

Hi guys -- I got a positive on a test three days ago and haven't told a soul. This is a surprise but will be a very welcome one for my partner, who's desperate for another. No symptoms yet but I think I'd only be four weeks. I've been thinking of giving my other half the positive test as a Christmas present but can't decide if it's tempting fate. Also going to be trying to keep this hidden over Christmas from family, who will be much less thrilled than my partner is going to be.

@Kileah18 oh god a 70 hour week is a struggle normally, is there any way you could do a couple less hours??

@KMic yeah she's just bored and trying to entertain herself, ignored everything about me being signed off sick and continued with her you didn't blow smoke up my arse chat. So tempted to thumbs up her last message to wind her up then block 😂 got too much going on already.

I felt fine enough to order a kfc and when it came I tried to eat it and gagged so I had to spit it out💔💔 but the nausea has gone for now until I eat or see something gross online, earlier i just about threw up reading a story about someone who ate chalk😂

So I'm five weeks today and finally had a call from the GP to book me in with the midwife. They said I would get an appointment through the post... how long did this take for everyone else to gets there's and when was the midwife appointment booked in for?

@Birdtale I think between 8 and 10 weeks is normal for a booking in appointment. At least it is here. Mine will be at 9+5.

Hi lovely August mums !
Woke up and Jesus my boobs are so sore ! No sickness just nausea. And sorry if TMI but farts galore

@JenMumma hahaha I am totally the same! No sore boobs but trumping like a good'n

@JenMumma got to love the farting!
I feel like I'm falling asleep at my desk. Bored/can't be arsed but soooooo much to do.

I think my mood swings are coming!! I'm getting SO annoyed at my colleagues!! About ready to punch Pete!!!

@KMic do you work in the same place as me? I want to do the same.

@ScotsBaby2 what punch Pete!? Hahaha!
Seriously though ... so glad it's the weekend!!

I'm definitly feeling moody, I keep being snappy with my ds and I hate it. I'm determined to do better this weekend. He's at a frustrating stage of not really listening and being a bit silly all the time, but it's really nothing bad at all so I need to be a bit easier on him!!

Ha ha omg I'm so glad it's not just me ! My arse is rancid !!! oh the joys eh lol. I'd swap the boobs for the tiredness any day, it's like carrying two angry boulders around. I'm thinking sports / maternity bra but don't know where to get a decent one and hate ordering offline as they're always shite and sent back. Hope you're all managing as best as you can, I'm planning on early pyjama night and my body weight in junk food. Partner being an angel today and cleaned our boys room so I didn't have to so that's good.
It's really weird though, he was happy and over the moon and ecstatic on the pregnancy test day (5 days ago) but just seems to have gone back to normal, part of me thinks he's just handling it in a practical way ( shop runs and cleaning) but over sensitive me wants him to sit down with me and coo over other people's alien looking scan pics on google. God knows

@KMic yes. Exactly that!!

I have a first aid meeting and drinks tonight so no chance of an early night :-(

@JenMumma my dh is the same. I think it's too early for him to get excited. After the 12 week scan I think he'll perk up a bit. It's also hard because we can't say anything in front of our 5 year old. It's also such a long time for them before the baby arrives and it really becomes real!!

Whoopsies thanks for your insight, I never thought of it like that.
I think you're right re 12 week scan....... can't come fast enough.... also we can't mention it to our 11 year old so kind of in the same boat. IM JUST TII EXCIIIITED ! Kind of wish I hadn't tested so early ha ha.

@JenMumma I know, it's s9 hard keeping it all quiet early on! These first 12 weeks drag! I also think Dh is worried about me, it's hard to imagine the baby for him yet so his priority is worrying about me and how I'll cope being pregnant and giving birth again etc. Its definitly a different mix of feelings for them!
