Tentatively starting a thread for those due in March 2020! I got my BFP yesterday and EDD is 3rd March next year. I got my BFP really early so nervously waiting for the days to go by until I feel a bit more ‘pregnant’. This is number 2 for me. Anyone else out there in the same boat?

@hopefulowl good luck with the move! Be very careful with lifting anything heavy!! 😮 x

hopefulowl · 26/07/2019 23:18

@barnyb Thank you! Will try to be careful, OH has thankfully devised a plan where I'll mostly be involved in cleaning at the new place, so everyone else will do more of the heavy lifting. At least it's not due to be as hot as earlier this week!

I've just noticed girls were almost at 1000 comments does anyone know how to set up a new thread when this one is up?

Dinosauraddict · 27/07/2019 09:25

Welcome @Disney1010 and @Jesskir89 yes I did it when we hit 1000 on our clomid thread.

Jesskir89 · 27/07/2019 09:42

Oh yeah! Thank you @Dinosauraddict I forgot that was you lol

Jampot36 · 27/07/2019 10:17

Morning ladies...good luck with the move @hopefulowl maybe you could be in charge of drinks and snacks so when you need a break make cuppas and stuff?

Im in the gym for first time in 20 days, sweating way more than i should be and my boobs are bursting out of my bra they're so big already! X

Disney1010 · 27/07/2019 14:17

Eek just booked in for a private dating scan! I'm unsure on my dates - my LMP puts me at 7+4, however I did a ClearBlue test on Wednesday which put me at 4-5 weeks so I'm really curious to find out when my due date actually is! It could be anywhen from 10th - 31st March.

I've only had one period since my DD was born, which is why I'm not sure if my LMP date is accurate.

My scan isn't until the 17th though, as if they say I need to be 7 weeks for it, so I'll be 7-10 weeks by my scan.

Dinosauraddict · 27/07/2019 15:18

Now I've had scan and seen heartbeat, I'm going for excited rather than anxious. Just had a fun morning shopping for nursery art and eternity rings with DH!

Jampot36 · 28/07/2019 09:35

Morning. I've woken up feeling awful today, zero energy, i just want to go back to bed! Is this the fatigue I've heard about or is it normal tired? Can it just strike out of the blue? Its so weird, analysing every little thing at the moment and wondering what is pregnancy and what is just me! X

hopefulowl · 28/07/2019 09:54

@Jampot36 Thanks! The move went well, I actually did the whole thing of being in charge of drinks and food, which actually is usually my role in the group so that worked out!
Well, it generally went fine other than a friend finding a pregnancy test box while helping us unpack - I had gone to the effort of hiding the pregnancy vitamins but forgot about the actual test box lying around! 🙄

I know what you mean about analysing every little thing, I've been feeling super tired on and off, yesterday at one point it just hit me and that was that, I just sat down and didn't do any more! Im no expert but I think the main thing is to follow what your body tells you, I think as women we are far more tuned into our bodies than men are! X

Disney1010 · 28/07/2019 10:13

Glad the move went well @hopefulowl other than the friend finding your test! Assume you had to tell them after that?

Jampot36 · 28/07/2019 10:16

Glad it went well @hopefulowl there's always something isnt there!!!! Did you manage to come up with a story or fess up?! Can you have a restful day today?

I had hoped to go for a nice walk and do some food prep today after I'd done the big shop but i can't move off the sofa. I might send hubs to the shops with a list while i binge watch bad tv. I'm normally one for being on the go all the time but you're totally right, my body is saying no so i need to listen to it and rest. X

Dinosauraddict · 28/07/2019 11:28

@Jampot36 I stupidly chose today to blitz the house. I'm ashamed to say I've really neglected it the last few week and it is an absolute state. It's only 11.30am but I'm not totally exhausted. DH is currently painting the nursery as we've got carpenter coming in to give quotes for new wardrobe and toy cupboard doors, electrician coming in to change the lighting, fabric man coming in to do blinds etc this week. My DH is a big fan of 'front loading' the work, so our house is currently chaos!! I just want a nap...

Jesskir89 · 28/07/2019 12:40

Well ladies DH gave me a surprise 30th party last night! Loved it but I had to announce my pregnancy as everyone wanted to buy me drinks and shots lol. He even had some becks blue behind the bar for me bless him. Glad the move went well! X

hopefulowl · 28/07/2019 13:08

@Jampot36 @Disney1010 I know I just couldn't believe it! No I still didn't tell them. It's pretty obvious though (at least to me!) but we have decided to tell our close bunch as soon as we have told family, once they're back from their holiday. When she found it I just said oops, thanks! And then hid the box and it was passed over quickly as it was so busy. Typical though. Never mind.

Hope you're all having a relaxing Sunday :)
@Dinosauraddict Sounds like a hectic house today! Bit like our new place today, though it sounds like you're ahead with organising the nursery room?

@Jesskir89 thanks! And Happy 30th Birthday! That sounds like a happy event / time to announce to your friends at least!? I cannot wait to announce to our close friends..

Jampot36 · 28/07/2019 13:18

@dinosauraddict you sound so productive and organised! It'll be so nice to relax later knowing youve done so much!

@Jesskir89 happy birthday! How thoughtful and what a fab way to announce!

@hopefulowl are you relaxing today? X

Dinosauraddict · 28/07/2019 13:24

Happy birthday @Jesskir89. @hopefulowl I'm amazed you were able to gloss over that! And @Jampot36 yep chaos, but hopefully organised chaos. Also just booked tickets to the baby expo in Oct - anyone else going?

Jampot36 · 28/07/2019 13:32

@Dinosauraddict whats the baby expo?

Jesskir89 · 28/07/2019 13:40

Thanks ladies :) it was nice to announce it like that. @Dinosauraddict there's one at media city in Manchester in September I'm thinking of going to if it's the same thing x

Disney1010 · 28/07/2019 14:07

@dinosauraddict I went to the Baby & Toddler Show while pregnant with my first baby, it was really good with loads of great freebies and deals.

Dinosauraddict · 28/07/2019 14:12

@Disney1010 fab thanks. It's my PFB, so I have a lot of shopping to do, and I do love a discount!!

Jampot36 · 28/07/2019 14:54

That sounds really interesting, I'm in newcastle so dont have anything like that scheduled up here at the mo. X

oksim · 28/07/2019 15:51

The baby expo looks good!!
I have managed to get tonsillitis 🙄 so I'm on antibiotics, and thankfully the doctor has also prescribed cyclizine 🙌🏻 this makes me hopeful for a return of appetite!!!

@Disney1010 congratulations and welcome to the group!

Dinosauraddict · 28/07/2019 17:16

Oh bless you @oksim hope you feel better soon. I was on antibiotics last week for UTI. Apparently pregnancy cocks up our immune system!
