Thought it was easier to start a new thread as lots of messages on that one? Hope that's ok?

@LaurenSl @HayzCo how are you both now girls?!

Any changes?!

This first 12 weeks is so bloody scary!

But to be fair none of us have had any major major symptoms. Other than sore boobs. Cramping. And me being sick once!

So it's all good that we are having similar symptoms. Makes me feel a little more normal.

I've had cramping and my midwife said that same about it being uterus growing. Also my bleeding was that too. As it was old dark blood.

They said any cramping is fine as L said if it's bright red blood wth it then we should go to get checked.

I guess everyone has diff symptoms and we've all been very lucky with nausea etc rather than full on throwing up daily xxx

@HayzCo @Bella5757

Yeh I'm all good!!! Though I need to stop eating!! Lol gaining weight and it's not Baby - it's carbs!! Bread bread bread!!

Gonna struggle with this weight thing over this 9 months! Confused

Bella5757 · 21/02/2019 19:13

@LaurenSl oh no!! I know what you mean though. It's so easy to gain. How are you getting on with slimming world? Or was that not great? Xxxx

LaurenSl · 21/02/2019 19:18

@Bella5757 I just have not stuck to it!! Need to get back on wagon tho - I've just craved bread all week as it helps the acid - but that seems to be easing up so think I'll go back to class Saturday and try again :/

Bella5757 · 21/02/2019 19:23

@LaurenSl I know what you mean

At the moment I'm preferring salty foods to healthy ConfusedConfused

I'm loving chips at the moment!xxx

Hey gals! @Bella5757 @HayzCo
I'm ok! Think I just did far too much with one of my patients in terms of moving handling them - I work with dementia patients! Back is killing and now in panic mode a little!

So just sitting doing notes now and then gonna go off ward! No one except my boss knows I'm pregnant is problem! Gonna have to tell folk I think at work at least x

Bella5757 · 22/02/2019 14:35

@LaurenSl hey Hun
I know what you mean. Your job can be physical so it's hard for you. Maybe speak to your boss again? And ask for advice or if there is anything they can put in place for you

I went for a nice walk today in the park and then went to do a food shop.

Also had my chiropractic appointment today. Had to tell her my midwife told me I had to tell her.

Received my letter today from hosp with all my appointments GrinGrin

So exciting xxx

Hello ladies! Sorry been quiet, had v busy few days at work. I’m feeling a lot better generally. No spotting but cramps have carried on. I’m just trying to keep perspective. I have had terrible tummy though. I think it might be same as you guys, because I am eating all the carbs to keep sickness at bay.

All the symptoms you describe sound same here, so think we are definitely all in the same boat!

Yes, bring on October! Or at least the summer when everyone will know, bumps will be visible and It might just feel real by then!

I have three weddings this year, two abroad! Anyone else got holiday or trips planned?

Bella5757 · 23/02/2019 08:52

@HayzCo hey Hun
I'm the same. I had cramping this morning. No spotting. Nothing. Just cramping. Which my pregnancy app says is normal. So not panicking.

Roll on march when we can tell people! Haha! And scans can show our beautiful babies!!

We had plans to go to Italy in the summer to visit my family

However I will be 8 months by then as I'm due sept

So it's a no go!

We are thinking of going somewhere at Easter now for a mini moon before baby comes yay!

How do you girls feel about finding out the sex of baby?!

I've always said I want a surprise

But now it's real I'm not sure haha xxx

Hello everyone can I join?
I am 4 weeks 1 day according to my Ovia app, got terrible heartburn today and had some cramps when I stand on the right ovary area.
Anyone else around the same due date? I am due 2nd November.
:)

LaurenSl · 24/02/2019 21:52

Hey folks!!! @Bella5757 @HayzCo

Sorry I've been quiet - slept most the weekend again! Shattered!!

Soooo bloated - farting like a trooper - and need to clamp my jaw shut!!

But overall all good - not gonna complain!

We don't have a babymoon planned - except a night away for our 1st wedding anniversary in May!

We are not gonna find out sex of baby - wee surprise!

Anyone new welcome! Congrats!! Yeh cramping has been coming and going since the start and always seems to be more right sided for me too!!

Can't wait for my midwife appt weds - I know nothing will happen but start of the process he he he xxxx

Louise392 · 24/02/2019 21:58

Hi @LaurenSI Glad its not just me then, worried me earlier as it was a sharp pain as i stood up, actually hurt.

How many weeks are you? I have just emailed one to one midwives as they are in my area, see what they are all about and when i need to start to see them, still doesnt feel real yet, think once ive had the booking in meeting it will hit me. x

Bella5757 · 25/02/2019 00:40

@Louise392 Hey! Of course you can join! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I'm 9 and a half week. Have def had cramping too so don't panic. But maybe mention it when you have your midwife appointment.

@LaurenSl I love that you're having a surprise. We've always said we want a surprise too. But now it is all real fiancé is talking about wanting to find out xxxx

OP posts:
LaurenSl · 25/02/2019 06:21

@Louise392 I am 8+3 weeks.
Due around Oct 4th but will know more once I get scan.

Seeing midwife weds and then scan is 22nd when I'll be bang on 12 weeks according to dates so far.

I had early scan and if still doesn't seem real haha!

@Bella5757 I think if we had another I'd get sex but I just think this is only actual surprise everyone will get as no one will know! And I also means can't fight over names till he/she is here haha x

Bella5757 · 25/02/2019 06:28

@LaurenSl I totally agree. There aren't many surprises left in life. Plus will give me something to push harder for. Get baby out so I can see what it is haha

But it will def be hard esp when in the 20 week scan and they can tell us there and then xxxx

@LaurenSl @Louise392 @HayzCo
Hi Ladies!
Hope you're ok and had a good day. Today was my first day back after having half term week off. It was so hard today!
I couldn't pee when I wanted, didn't drink as much as I should have so had a massive headache by home time! Half term was so easy haha.
I definitely need to bring snacks with me to pick at during play time and lunch etc as I felt so hungry on my way home from work. With a 30 minute drive and a headache it wasn't fun!
So I've prepped better for tomorrow.

How are we feeling?

Does anyway feel like they are bloated or showing? Xxx

OP posts:
HayzCo · 26/02/2019 07:59

Morning everyone. Putting off leaving the house for work as I’ve been sick twice this morning and cannot face the tube! I am definitely so bloated, much worse by end of the day!

I can’t believe I’ve been surrounded by women at work all these years, going through early pregnancy, and not knowing how hard it must have been to keep it under wraps!

Bella5757 · 26/02/2019 09:49

Oh no!
That's horrible babe!
I know it's so hard trying to hide it. I'm
10 weeks today

Though by my dates I think I'm 9 weeks 2 days

So can't wait for my scan to get a more accurate date

Not that it matters really Coz I could be late early etc xxxx

Louise392 · 26/02/2019 17:25

Evening! Was the 2nd day back for my daughter today and on the way back from the school run i was feeling sick (heaving) all the way back in the car, think because i hadnt eaten but also think i have a little car sickness now due to baby as its a windy back lane i have to go down.

And my cm is that watery i am having to wear panty liners. I am only 4 weeks 3 days, god help me the other 8 months haha.

Bella5757 · 26/02/2019 17:43

Hey!
I left work straight away today. I was dry heaving all the way home. I get it when I'm starting to get hungry

Also have a headache today

So am currently chilling on the sofa with a decafe tea xx

OP posts:
Louise392 · 26/02/2019 19:26

Not just me then @bella5757, didn't get a headache though.
You feeling better now? X

Bella5757 · 26/02/2019 19:45

@Louise392 no I've had it since early stages. I'm 10 weeks today but I've had it since 3 weeks

Im feeling a little better. Still not great though
Haven't eaten dinner tonight coz everything makes me gag tonight
Xxxx

OP posts:
Louise392 · 26/02/2019 21:12

Oh goodness @bella5757 it hasnt worn off yet then?
I am awaiting my booking appointment still as i am only 4 weeks 3 days (as per first day of last period) I am using a service one to one midwives and she is calling me tomorrow to go over everything history etc with me.

Glad you are feeling better :) I know that this pregnancy is affecting my eating as i love all things sugary usually but i am turning down chocolate and pepsi which are my 2 big things i usually love, it is a good thing though in a way as less sugar = less weight gain haha.
