@PracticallySpeaking I got the flu jab yesterday!

It’s safe! There’s no evidence that it causes miscarriage x

I just keep feeling anxious because my symptoms really come and go. Like this morning, I've woken up and I don't feel desperate to pee and I don't feel sick or 'pregnant'. Is this normal with a first pregnancy lol!? I had loads of cramps last night! Xx

bubblesqueek · 31/10/2019 07:34

@bellebox19 yeah it's normal, you'll be fine you might just not have drank a lot yesterday ha.. some people don't feel sick at all durning pregnancy.. craps are apparently normal around this time aswell xx

I like how there isn't much activity on this thread in the evening as we're all so knackered and probably asleep! 😴

@Longtimelurker01
Congratulations to you too. I had a sore throat that lasted ages between weeks 4-5. I'm not sure if it was pregnancy related as the whole family had something similar but mine was definitely the worst.

@PracticallySpeaking I'll probably get the flu jab as I love a vaccine but maybe after the 12 week mark and once I know everything is ok

@pollysproggle we went to a Halloween scare night got home at 8 and in bed by 8.30 ha.. I'm so hungry but I feel so full as soon as I eat one thing.. Iv had to unbutton my pants at work ha. I'm not being sick as much so maybe that's why I feel fuller who knows x

I had a big temperature drop this morning so I think I will be out :( Can I even call this a chemical pregnancy if I didn't get a positive test?! Best of luck to you all xx

bubblesqueek · 31/10/2019 11:15

@wholemeal121 I can't help you there Iv never traced temperature or anything like that I don't understand it. Fingers crossed your still in tho xx

@bubblesqueek im the exact same dodgy tummy past few days and barely any appetite ive lost weight tho so im goin to try and force myself to eat more today..how was ur halloween night? We went to a halloween night aswell it was brill but i fell asleep in the car on the way home at half8 lol

bubblesqueek · 31/10/2019 11:44

@2fingers22018 Iv been sick for 3-4 month now obv not pregnancy related but I do have pregnancy nausea aswell mad how I can tell the difference between them but my normal sickness touch wood is down to only once a day so feel like that's getting better. I was like that the other week no appetite at all but when you know your pregnant it's hard because you want to eat what you can I suppose. Ahh it was brill for the little one, she loved it. we went to the adult one the day before which was good aswell. How was yours? Haha I could literally sleep on a washing line I'm so tired xx

@bubblesqueek i think ours was aimed at kids but we couldnt take my niece last min she had a bug, we still enjoyed it tho we re big kids lol and fx we can take ours nxt yr x

Ok I take back my no symptoms complaint. After 3 days of no symptoms and worrying I’ve now felt horribly nauseous all day 😣 not actually being sick and don’t think I will be, but woozy, dizzy, sicky feeling. I am at least reassured that something’s definitely going on in there but it’s not conducive to a great working day!

BuffaloCauliflower · 31/10/2019 15:07

@bellebox19 see my post above! Literally nothing for 3 days and getting worried (after likely implantation symptoms on Monday) today I feel awful!

2fingers22018 · 31/10/2019 15:25

@BuffaloCauliflower sorry u dnt feel great that sux at least as u say it reassures you everythings progressing but its hard to work when u feel like crap. I honestly dnt know how women hold it for 3months the wait is torture and the 1st thing i want when im not well is tea and sympathy!

bubblesqueek · 31/10/2019 15:38

@BuffaloCauliflower wooo that's a good sign, sorry yah feel shorty tho ha. All worth it x

I know! Definitely a careful what you wish for Sad

bellebox19 · 31/10/2019 18:34

@BuffaloCauliflower hugs to you!
I swear I'm starting to feel terrible after feeling almost normal when I just went shopping. Must just have been distracted!

I might be crazy but none of my bras now fit me and my boobs are very sore, so I stopped at M&S and got a two pack of maternity bras, I have one on now and it's so comfy! Should last me a while & I was kinda looking for one to sleep in too so it's good that there's two Smile x

BuffaloCauliflower · 31/10/2019 18:39

@bellebox19 not helped by crap journey home. London trains are the worst. But I hear you on the bras, I’m a bit religious about my bras and suddenly everything hurts. Though they don’t actually look bigger. I’m thinking of finally investing in a Molke bra

bubblesqueek · 31/10/2019 19:27

@BuffaloCauliflower @bellebox19 I swear by the Victoria secret t shirt bra the wireless one.. no bones no nothing they are so soft!! I feel like shit tonight also vomited twice and nausea isn't settling any time soon xx

I hear you @BuffaloCauliflower !
Working today has been hard when all I want to do is sit still. I work from home at least but what should have taken me 3 hours took about 6 as I have zero 'get up and go'.

I've found a place near me that does private scans, going to talk to DH tonight and see what he thinks and maybe get one around 8 weeks. This will be my last baby and I've never had one before so why not!

BuffaloCauliflower · 31/10/2019 19:34

@bubblesqueek VS don’t go up to my (very normal when you measure properly) size so I don’t trust them.

bubblesqueek · 31/10/2019 19:38

@BuffaloCauliflower yeah they do measure weird, I find them the most comfortable tho, I hate bras they are horrible things anyway ha xx

Some spotting again this evening though 😣 the tiniest bit and I know it’s probably nothing and it’s normal but I do worry

bubblesqueek · 31/10/2019 22:09

@BuffaloCauliflower like you say it's normal but we wouldn't be human if we didn't worry. Lots of love I'm sure you'll be fine ❤️
