How is everyone today? I could not sleep last night between the heat, the toilet trips and the fact I had a 2 hour nap in the afternoon lol so I'm very tired today, determined to power through so that I'm so tired I have to sleep tonight haha 🤣

Kam610 · 17/07/2019 11:02

@Mrskcam I'm tired too today. Couldn't get to sleep until around 1:30am, normally I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. My legs were sooo hot and restless. I normally suffer from restless leg syndrome anyway which is usually resolved by going to bed, so if it's now going to be an issue in bed then I'm in real trouble!

I think the nausea is starting to hit me today, have had some waves of it so trying to eat regularly 🤢 if it stays like this I can cope with it. Hopefully doesn't get way worse!!! Luckily I'm not too tired yet beyond the normal exhaustion from work and being busy 😁

Mrskcam · 17/07/2019 12:47

@SLT90 I've got nausea too but think I've left it too long to eat and also it's so hot I always feel quite sick when I'm too hot

Keyboard91 · 17/07/2019 13:53

Last night I peed THREE times in an hour 🙈 slept playing. We’ve been out this morning and DP is now asleep on the sofa beside me because of ‘how tired’ he is .... I just want to beat him for sleeping when I want hugs 🤦‍♀️

Wanted to go out this afternoon to look at maternity bras as I’m finding this underwriting REALLY uncomfortable but we can’t because A) he is asleep, and B) his bike is in the garage so can’t go out until they ring and we pick it up otherwise I have to get up at 6:30 tomorrow to take him to work.

So I’m short, I’m grumpy.

SLT90 · 17/07/2019 14:54

@Mrskcam It's not pleasant! Eating definitely seems to help, and mine has gone for now. Just don't like not knowing how bad it is potentially going to get! I can deal with nausea no problem but really don't want to be one of those who ends up vomiting regularly 😣

Lea89 · 17/07/2019 15:59

I’m just so exhausted alllll the time and my boobs constantly hurt.

I also need some maternity bras but I want to wait until after my scan so I know all is okay xx

Keyboard91 · 17/07/2019 16:05

@Lea89 I’m actually about to go and buy some more maternity bras! I’ve gone up a cup size and it’s either that or. It more normal ones but if I’m honest I’m struggling with underwire causing discomfort on my sore boobies.

MiniEdwards · 17/07/2019 16:10

I'm 5 weeks + 1, I found out 2 days ago!
First baby for me and hubby, we have been married for 7 months!
Boobs feel a little achey and today I cannot stop yawning!
Feeling a little overwhelmed but excited.
xx

Lea89 · 17/07/2019 16:17

@Keyboard91 I bought maternity clothes last time because I showed really quickly! I’m 5 week tomorrow and already really bloated.

After I bought the clothes I had a miscarriage so I’m very skeptical about buying again at the moment xx

Kalflo · 17/07/2019 16:25

Hi all - huge congratulations to all due March 2020. Please can you help...threw away instructions for Tesco own brand pack of 2 digital testers (bought 2 weeks ago). I have a line in circle window and a line in rectangle window..does this mean I’m pregnant??? Would upload a pic but no paper clip available...thanks in advance!!

Kam610 · 17/07/2019 18:00

@kalflo that does sound like a positive pregnancy test! Generally tests only come up with one line if negative and two if positive. Did it come up straight away?

Lea89 · 17/07/2019 19:30

Any of you ladies getting period cramps? I’m 5 weeks tomorrow and had them this evening xx

Keyboard91 · 17/07/2019 19:39

@Lea89 I got some 2 maternity bras and a top before my MC last time so have been using the bras but needed a couple more to keep me going. I was gonna hold off until we’ve had a private scan at 8 weeks but I’d rather be comfortable now whether or not we lose this one (although signs are positive so far 🤞). I’m terribly bloated too so I look bloody pregnant already and it’s the size of a poppy seed!

I’m getting the odd period type cramp on and off but I’m trying not to worry until they are A) very painful or B) come along with bleeding. Although I’ve just been grumpy all the way home (40 mins) because I felt something wet ‘leave’ down there but couldn’t check as on the motorway and worried myself silly for the whole drive with my DP was not impressed by - but just discharge.

@Kalflo I would say yes and with the usual non-digi ones it’s a line in both is a positive :)

Mrskcam · 17/07/2019 20:29

@Lea89 I'm 4+2 and I got cramps, honestly just feels like af is gonna come it's weird, first pregnancy so I'm just trying to be chill unless something comes up that I can't "ignore" lol

Lea89 · 17/07/2019 21:02

@Keyboard91 ahh glad it was only CM. I’m full of spots on my face too!!!! My boobs are incredibly sore today and my nipples are SO sensitive to touch and they’ve gone dark now too!

I definitely feel different from last time. This time I’ve got more symptoms xx

Mrskcam · 18/07/2019 00:04

Cannot believe it, my skin has never looked better and neither has my hair 😍 seems like every bad symptom I'm getting a good one to counter it 🙌🏻

Dawnclark · 18/07/2019 00:47

Hi,
Found out a few days ago that I'm having my first and have worked out the EDD to about March. Very excited and nervous. Any advice for a newbie? Also I hope everyone is well x

Keyboard91 · 18/07/2019 07:44

Welcome @Dawnclark - no advice, just join us on this journey!

@Lea89 I’ve definitely got more symptoms this time too. Got up at 3am and felt so nauseous for an hour and then barely slept again. Am so tired. Don’t want my usual toast for breakfast so I resorted to a pack of hula hoops to see if food makes me feel better. Have opticians at 8:15 but I’m going to cancel as don’t really want to be doing that feeling like this.

Is everyone having cramping? Like mild - medium period pain? Tummy and back, doesn’t last for long but am definitely aware. Oh and one boob has had a growth spurt overnight 😂🙈🤦‍♀️ I only hit 4 weeks today (milestone 1 🤞 )

Mrskcam · 18/07/2019 10:03

@Keyboard91 exhaustion is hitting me so hard lately, find l only get nausea if I don't eat little and often, peeing every half hour and yes I get cramps honestly feels like af is gonna come

Hananah · 18/07/2019 10:27

Cramps here too! Like mild period pain in my back. Don't remember this with DC1 but I guess every pregnancy is different.

Have been so nauseous! 🤢 Went to the GP yesterday, as lost lots of weight due to sickness last pregnancy and was prescribed anti sickness tablets. Which have REALLY helped, but make you feel a bit wobbly! 😳

Eating little and often is really good to help with sickness I remember from last time, but difficult to do when you feel rough!

Hope everyone is doing ok! 👍👍👍 When are people contacting midwives btw?

Keyboard91 · 18/07/2019 10:36

@Mrskcam I’m gonna have to take food to bed if nighttime nausea is gonna be a thing!

@hananah honestly I’m putting off calling the GP as not long after I phoned last time I started to bleed ... it’s anxiety I know. Just scared just in case. Going to do a 4 hour hold (if I can) later and do a digital and if I get a 2-3 then I’ll call (as last time I never got past 1-2)

Lea89 · 18/07/2019 10:58

@Hananah I called my doctors the day I found out and got a midwife appointment made that day.

My first midwife appointment is on Monday next week x

Crumble2020 · 18/07/2019 12:15

Hello! If all goes well (fingers crossed) due mid March. Would love to have some people going through same thing to talk to. My husband is great but all he can really say is “poor you”.
First baby and of course overly paranoid. I seem to switch between ‘this is fine, I’m going to be amazing at pregnancy’ to ‘I’m never felt this terrible ever before - this can’t be normal’ many times over the course of a day! Currently sat on bench outside office as was worried I was about to vomit everywhere...

Keyboard91 · 18/07/2019 13:53

I did a digital and got my 2-3 ... so I did the big girl thing and nervously registered my pregnancy at the GP. Referral will go across to midwife tomorrow and then need to wait for her to contact me. The receptionist recorded my MCs and that I’ll need consultant care for other reasons and wrote urgent on the top, and that I was very nervous due to my history this year, so it’ll be on top for the midwife so 🤞 she will make contact soon.

In other news, cheese and onion pasties and orange Rennie tablets are my new best friends 😂🤦‍♀️
