Oh I have just seen this. Thank you for tagging me! I'm just going to have a little read through and give you my update :) xx

SullyWifey · 10/12/2018 12:58

So happy you made this thread @MrsC87 really good to keep in touch with you all and seeing how you doing.

I am 6 weeks tomorrow and have felt sick for over a week already. It's getting me so down. I keep thinking I'm so glad it's happening because it reminds me I'm growing a little bean, but it's still super hard.

Feeling so emotional today too, not helping!!

I have a early scan booked for the 30th and I will be 8+5 then. Praying for good news.

My friend found out Saturday she is also PG and is exactly a week behind me. Absolutely mad it's happened this way. Fingers crossed it goes well for us both.

I told my parents and a couple of friends so far and it does make it so much more real when you share. I have booking appointment on the 18th. All moving forward. Just got to try and stop worrying and enjoy it like you all said, there's nothing we can do if the worst does happen so might as well enjoy the ride.

Desperate to get my work do out the way this week!

Love to you all. So good seeing you all here xxx

Crossfitgirl · 10/12/2018 13:07

Just tagging the others that I think missed the first tags :-) @delilah7 @mrsof20118

Hey @sullywifey! Sorry to hear you are so sick! Are you sure it's not twins?? Good luck for your booking appt! Mines the week after yours, I'm 5+1.

I've stopped worrying now.
Tbh, not reading the other pregnancy thread and just staying on here has helped me relax. Its so much nicer with people who I know, and in the nicest way possible, actually give a crap about 😂 god there's so many I don't know in the Aug 19 thread and they all keep piling in and I've lost track and the will to live! Is that shit of me? Lol!

Have a chilled Monday everyone :-) xxxx

sunshine1987 · 10/12/2018 13:15

@crossfitgirl same, same and more of the same. I’ve stopped reading it all as it’s stressing me out. Still not heard from my midwife about booking in appointment, should I chase? I’m 6 weeks today xx

Delilah7 · 10/12/2018 13:20

Hi ladies.
I'm still here ❤️thankful!
I'm 10 weeks tomorrow. Sickness seems to be subsiding but I've got that hyperemis shit so it's been awful! Skinnier than ever which I hate.
Not enjoying pregnancy much due to that and excess hair growth!!! 😂 so glad you're all ok. 12 week scan is when I'll be nearly 13 weeks! New Year's Eve. X x

FlapJackered · 10/12/2018 14:13

Just popped onto the pregnancy boards to see how you girls are all getting on and so happy to see you all in one place! So glad you're all doing well!
Hopefully I will be able to join you all on here soon too. Good luck with your pregnancies you lovely ladies! 😘😘 xxx

SullyWifey · 10/12/2018 14:20

@Crossfitgirl literally not shit of you at all. I feel exactly the same. Felt like I was bit lost in there, you girls are exactly what I need and all that I need!!

@Delilah7 10 weeks wow that's amazing! I can't wait to get that far. Iv only known for two weeks and it's been the longest two weeks of my life haha! Well done you, can't wait to hear about your scan xx

@FlapJackered yay so good to hear from you, I have everything crossed you will be joining us ASAP xx

SullyWifey · 10/12/2018 14:22

@Crossfitgirl also, yes I'm convinced it's twins 😂 even my friends mum who is a midwife says she thinks it's twins!! Haha well we will find out in 3 weeks!!!

I can't even imagine!!

Delilah7 · 10/12/2018 14:28

@SullyWifey it goes quicker when you get past 7 weeks or so hun. I've had a scan earlier at 8 weeks or so and saw heartbeat and it was a really strong heartbeat.
Just get worried I'll get to 12 weeks and somethings wrong but fingers crossed ❤️ xx

LuckyKitty13 · 10/12/2018 15:21

Hello - I was on the thread I think but left quickly as a was pregnant the first month! I'm now 26 weeks with a little girl! Can't believe how fast the time has gone. Congratulations to all of you ladies!

Crossfitgirl · 10/12/2018 16:12

@sunshine1987 I would chase it, my appointment is at 7 weeks. It's strange how they don't just book it when you ring?
@delilah7 for some reason I thought you were more than 10! Not long to go then, you have done so well! Hope the sickness continues to subside so you can enjoy the pregnancy a bit more. And I agree these 2 initial weeks have dragged... can't even wait to get to 6!

@flapjackered omg!!! It's so weird I was literally thinking about you earlier and wondering if you'd stayed off the threads... thought about messaging you but didn't want to drag you back on! How you getting on? LOVE that you came off one thread... but have clearly just secretly joined another instead 😂😂😂
You've GOT to be joining us soon with your BFP, you've got to! Are you still doing SMEP or are you chilling?

@sullywifey oh my!! Are you having an early scan then? How will you feel if it is twins?

Hey @luckykitty13 yay have you thought of any names? Xxx

CrystalBlaze · 10/12/2018 16:58

I know exactly what you mean @Crossfitgirl, the pregnancy threads are really hard to keep up with and there's so many people. Also weird for me as I'm due right at the end of April and expect I'll go into May so have been sort of straddling two. So thrilled you are all here Smile

Can't believe 20 week scan is tomorrow. Sorry for all those having sickness and other crap symptoms. It does get better I promise.

Delilah7 · 10/12/2018 17:10

@Crossfitgirl unfortunately not I'm just glad I'm at 10 weeks. Although the sickness is driving me insane aswell as the smell adversions. My god. 😂

CookieWaffle · 10/12/2018 18:00

Hey ladies, just taking a moment out to say hi and omg @CrystalBlaze and @ChaosMoon are here too, yay!

@RanchoRelaxo what an amazing picture!

MrsC87 · 10/12/2018 19:03

Hey all, so I made the thread then buggered off for days 🤦‍♀️ sorry ladies, just struggling with the tiredness.
Also does anyone have really itchy nipples? Driving me insane!
Glad the house move is going well @CookieWaffle
I'm the same @Delilah7, saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks and was measuring just right. But petrified I'll get to 12 and the heartbeat will have stopped- so tempted to book another scan but I worry I'm just overthinking it all.
I've stopped reading other pregnancy threads too @Crossfitgirl, it's nice we are all here in one place, it's like we've known each other agree 💕

mrsof20118 · 10/12/2018 19:59

Hey ladies great to see you all here. Will have a read through and catch up. Had a quick scan and can't believe how far some of you are already!! So amazing.
I had an early scan at 6 weeks by lmp and they dated me 5 +3 and saw a heartbeat. Not sure whether to stick with my lmp due date or go with the new one? I'm not sure how accurate they can be so early on.

I have a private scan booked in for 22nd. Had a group intro midwife appointment last week and my booking in on 28th. Also booked in for harmony test mid Jan.
Not finding out the sex either, I'm rubbish at waiting for surprises but I really want to just have that suspense of not knowing until the day and hopefully it will give me some last minute motivation if it gets hard to keep pushing. X

LuckyKitty13 · 10/12/2018 20:02

@Crossfitgirl thought of a few, mainly family names. Think Elizabeth is the front runner at the moment. What about everyone else?

CrystalBlaze · 10/12/2018 21:59

@mrs when I had an early scan at 7 weeks for shoulder pain they put me four days behind what I thought. My actual EDD from the 12 week scan is two days behind what i estimated from LMP.

@Crossfitgirl how was your gym session?!

And wave to @Cookie and @MrsC. How are you both?

RanchoRelaxo · 10/12/2018 22:33

I agree it's nice to have this thread rather than trying to keep up with the July ones!
@MrsC87 they are a bit itchy but just mainly really sore! It's so painful to stand up first thing in a morning 😂 and I haven't even god big boobs!
@CookieWaffle glad the house move is going well!
Hi @FlapJackered really hope you will be able to join us on here soon!

CrystalBlaze · 11/12/2018 17:58

Hello lovelies. How is everyone doing? Had the 20 week scan today and all is well. Smile

Didn't find out the sex but got the sonographer to write it down and we are keeping it in a sealed envelope that can only be opened by mutual agreement. The temptation to just look at it is so so huge though.

RanchoRelaxo · 11/12/2018 18:44

Oh wow @CrystalBlaze that is too tempting, I honestly wouldn't be able to resist looking haha, what are you thinking of doing? You could open it on Christmas morning?

MrsC87 · 11/12/2018 18:53

@CrystalBlaze I'm okay thanks, just so tired and itchy sore nipples lol.
Worrying a little about the 12 week scan even though I've had an early scan but hoping Xmas will keep me busy!
20 weeks, wow! How are you feeling?
How long do you think you'll last until you both want to open the envelope lol! x

CaptainUnderpants96 · 11/12/2018 19:04

Hi all! I remember reading the TTC threads but can't remember if I ever posted.

So, a bit of backstory Grin

I have PCOS and was told four years ago at 18 that it would be very difficult for me to conceive naturally. I almost resigned myself to the fact that I would never have biological children. So imagine my shock and delight in February 2018 when I fell pregnant naturally, first time trying!

Sadly, that pregnancy ended in a missed miscarriage and subsequent ERPC at 12 weeks. I was heartbroken but not surprised. My partner and I decided to TTC again but I wasn't hopeful.

Much to our shock and delight (tempered with terror) I fell pregnant naturally again in June, just eight weeks after my MMC and ERPC. I didn't allow myself to become attached to the pregnancy as I was convinced I'd lose this one too.

Well, I'm now 27 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl Smile Aside from horrible SPD this pregnancy has been a relative breeze! I feel so so lucky and have to pinch myself every day ❤

Crossfitgirl · 11/12/2018 20:54

@crystalblaze glad the scan went well! My gym session felt really good! I told the coach before the class as they've coached a few all the way through their pregnancies, he was great and just said anything I don't feel comfortable with just don't do it, or they will scale it for me. I felt really pleased afterwards :-) I feel far more confident than I did a week ago when I was still cramping loads.
@delilah7 aw it must be awful! How far on were you when it started? just think of the end goal... :-)
@cookiewaffle that was us 3 weeks ago! I feel your pain, and the sea of boxes here is only slightly better! You'll definitely be busy, hope you love your new home and can soon start thinking about a nursery 😍
@mrsc87 my nipples aren't itchy, but they are constantly hard like bullets!! Haha! Sorry you're feeling so tired - I'm also very tired today but I think it's just been one of those days.
@mrsof20118 aww glad you saw the little heartbeat:-) I'm seriously debating a scan on the 23rd at 7 weeks!
@luckykitty13 that's a lovely name, DH likes Jessica but other than that we haven't discussed it. I know we'll never agree on anything haha.
@ranchorelaxo mine are tiny too and I can't stand anything touching my nips at the mo! Lol.

How's the hormones for everyone? I feel so sensitive and irritable! Poor DH has been so lovely and made tea and properly looked after me and he's not letting me do the cat litter tray etc... And I've been so narky with him! Felt like crying for no reason earlier! Properly feeling hormonal!

Crossfitgirl · 11/12/2018 20:55

@captainunderpants96 hey, so lovely to hear you're so far along and having a healthy little girl! Xx
