So today I found out I’m pregnant with #1 ! & I honestly haven’t stopped crying with happiness all morning. Although I know it’s early days, I just wanted to see if there were any other early Oct babies due so that we can share the journey! I’m over the moon ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We've done practically nothing all weekend, but I'm still exhausted. I think I'm going to take myself off to bed early tonight. I've been struggling at work recently with staying motivated and awake.

@Quiffy get yourself to the doctor to see what they suggest, not worth suffering if they can help.

LexiM · 16/02/2020 22:21

That’s me too - barely done anything but always tired! The bad weather for the last two weekends has been a good excuse for me to stay in and do nothing! 😄

Hi is it okay to join here? I found out I was pregnant on Valentine's Day I'm doing ok but a bit moody and nauseous already

This will be my third baby I have two gorgeous girls they are amazing im a little nervous but looking forWard to having a 3 (almost 4)and newborn in October!

The wait upto 12 weeks I always find hard as I have health anxiety so worry a lot about things but I'm trying to be confident this time around

I'm expecting to get gestational diabetes in the next few weeks (had it twice) I'm ok so far so enjoying stuffing my face

butterflylove81 · 16/02/2020 23:25

Forgot to mention my 17 month old haha

Anyone struggling with pregnacare max . I am not taking it anymore I was getting lots of acid reflux and stomach pains - I switched it up to a basic boots folic acid and I feel so much better no more feeling quesy

Lucylou37 · 17/02/2020 07:45

@Zaalfruit my doctor specifically said to just take the basic pregnacare! It's been fine with me, though I did take it after only eating a light breakfast and felt really sick, so I imagine the max one would be even worse x

Spark27 · 17/02/2020 08:02

Hi @butterflylove81, great to see you move over from the TTC threads. I'm with you on the nausea. Not really moody, but really tired and fed up. Finding it really difficult to sleep properly. Cant get comfortable as I usually sleep on my front, but the bloat isn't allowing that now. Even the joy of my pregnancy pillow is starting to wear off. I feel like it takes forever to fall asleep and I'm constantly waking to wee. Then if I am asleep either DD wakes me or husband starts snoring or the cat attacks me. And then the dreams.....they are so weird and vivid

Quiffy · 17/02/2020 08:02

@Zaalfruit I’m taking the Pregnacare max, wonder if I should switch.

butterflylove81 · 17/02/2020 08:09

@Spark27 thanks I was awake most of last night I'd forgotten how early pregnancy insomnia starts for me! I guess it's a good sign I have symptoms I've been worrying a bit about something going wrong but trying to just have faith that all will be okay.

So nice to have somewhere to chat I find the first 12 weeks a bit hard think I'm going to book an early scan at 8 weeks again like I have done previously don't know why I'd just feel better if I knew there was a hb x

SkyBlue20 · 17/02/2020 08:28

Oh god the nausea is real today. About to get on the train to work but not sure I can face it as we’re usually packed in like sardines 😫 Am armed with dry toast, water and a carrier bag just in case. Pregnancy takes your dignity right away, doesn’t it?! 😂🙈

3isthemagicnumber3 · 17/02/2020 08:39

5 weeks 2 days today and no sickness yet here, but if the last 2 pregnancies are anything to go by I should brace myself as it will be here soon (week 6 on the dot previously)! Good luck to all those dealing with the sickness and nausea today and congratulations to everyone!

Prettylittlelady · 17/02/2020 08:46

@Lucylou37 @Zaalfruit I’m taking the pregnacare max because that’s what my doctor told me to get! I had the normal one and she said to get Max because it’s good for baby’s brain development? I haven’t had any side effects yet...I think you need to make sure you’re always taking it on a full stomach.

BooMamaBear · 17/02/2020 08:50

I traveled an hour in the car yesterday morning had to have a paper bag in my hand the whole way I kept gipping but luckily wasn't actually sick!! Yesterday and the day before I've felt better by around half twelve but my last two pregnancies i had sickness all day and my first I had none at all!! So I guess il see how it goes!! I'm 5 weeks and 4 days today and have my booking in appointment at 9,45am xxx

Spark27 · 17/02/2020 08:51

I feel for you @SkyBlue20. I only work part time and I've already emailed my boss to warn her that my hours may be erratic this week

Zaalfruit · 17/02/2020 09:33

@Prettylittlelady I been trying it with a full stomach - but the acid reflux was so bad :( my doctors are not that great there advice was just take some folic acid.

@Quiffy this weekend I did an experiment I came off it and my nausea and acid reflux became so much better .

@Lucylou37 I think I might switch it up to the basic pregnancare just scared the nausea might kick in again .

Ellabella234 · 17/02/2020 09:55

Hi ladies! I've been a bitquiet sorry! I can't keep up tehe! How are you all feeling this morning? The nausea is REAL today. I've had it on and off every day but this morning I have just got to Uni and I feel like I'm on the verge of wrenching! It seems like I feel it if I'm too hungry (hungry all the time like actually starving no matter what I eat) and then once I eat something I feel sick after wards too. I only feel ok whilst I'm eating🙈 Out of curiosity at what point would you tell your employer/lecturer that you are pregnant? I am doing an Art degree working with ceramic, glass, jewellery and other materials and I'm not sure at what point to tell them - guess it's a little early? 5+6 today x

MrsC105 · 17/02/2020 10:16

Has anyone had a scan yet?
I'm 6+3 days and am being sent for a scan at 1 o'clock today due to some very light spotting Thursday & Friday.
Just wondering if I will see much x

SkyBlue20 · 17/02/2020 11:22

Nausea has eased off a bit now - have only had it really badly twice but it does seem to be when I wake up, if I keep eating then I’m ok. Bought some ginger biscuits to try and help.

@MrsC105 I haven’t had one yet (though I have booked an early one for Fri at 7 weeks) but the Pregnancy+ app shows you what it’d look like at each week - I’ve attached weeks 6 and 7 for you so you can get an idea ☺️ hope all goes well!

@MrsC105 I was meant this weekend but they cancelled because of the storm - I need to rearrange for this weekend which would make 6+4 or 7+4 I think it’s maybe better that it’s been delayed .

Zaalfruit · 17/02/2020 12:37

@SkyBlue20 on the train - the rocking and the smells Of the train make me feel so unwell stood the whole journey and was pushed and shoved tfl sucks .

Indigogirl88 · 17/02/2020 12:54

Hi all, can I join? I was on the ttc thread, but I've changed name, as wasnt expecting to get preggers this month! I'm just 6 weeks and got a doctor app today due to cramps Confused bit nervous about it. Has anyone else been getting cramps? Due date 12th October

Lucylou37 · 17/02/2020 13:33

Had to get off the tube today as felt like I was going to faint and felt sick! Has anyone else felt like they were going to faint too? X

MrsC105 · 17/02/2020 15:26

Just been for my scan, had to have an internal as my bladder was too full and everything is fine!!! Measuring roughly 6 weeks and its got a strong little heartbeat already ❤

Treacle81 · 17/02/2020 15:47

Guys I had to stop PMax due to the iron giving me terrible constipation. Only stopped Fri and already notice big difference and normal toilet habit again 🙌🏻 Doc advised that some people just can’t handle it so I have been taking ‘Healthy start’ vitamins which MW provided x

Treacle81 · 17/02/2020 15:48

@MrsC105 Great news ❤️
