January 2021 Babies!

[Popcat120]

Hi!
Just got my BFP this weekend.
I got my first faint positive Friday morning with an frer, and today it's much darker (11dpo)!

Leading up to my bfp, I've had icky feeling, tiredness, dizzy spells, headaches, cramps.
Not feeling as icky as with my last pregnancy yet though!
Provisional due date of 7th January using the NHS calculator.

Come and join once you've got your bfp for January 2021, for a few pregnancy pals!

Cumbria here :)

@ilovetrees30 hey! I got my urine pot, which is also a temperature reader on it too from zoom-baby.co.uk. it is £1. They have lots of other useful things etc you can get from there too xx

South Lakes in Cumbria here!

I’m from West Sussex 👋

Omg I'm bawling!!
I love all of jj heller songs, found them during my last pregnancy, listened to them during pregnancy and when he was born, I Sang them to DS, and throughout his life so far.
Just put her on YouTube,
He's transfixed, he must remember.

But this song, gonna send it to my mum!

I'm from London!

@Popcat120 thats a lovely song.

Ive just finished my workout and now cant work out if im hungry or feeling a bit queasy. Luckily dinner is cooking.

Going back to the pram chat I'll be looking for a good off roader so I can walk the dog round the woods still. I'm trying not to get ahead of myself though.

I’m from South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@ilovetrees30 you'll have to let us know if you find one with good reviews for off road.

@Jonesbabynumber1 snap! Nice to see a fellow Welshie.

@ilovetrees30 well done for working out!! It's been raining here all day so didn't get out for my daily walk 😢

I'd also be interested in a be great for dog walks. So definitely share if you find anything!

Trying to resist the urge to look. Not going to buy anything until at least 12/13 weeks.

I've felt really ill today, had a small fry up which tastes brilliant but made me so tired.

Had a nap for over an hour, I've found sipping fizzy stuff has really settled my stomach.

I'm trying to keep up with the workouts @whatsthecraic91 i missed a month because of my laparoscopy and then three weeks later the lockdown hit. Especially as I am fully expecting awful morning sickness to hit as both my mum and sister had horrendous morning sickness.

@Elmlee I must have missed your BFP post! I recognise you 🙂 congratulations! I have the sorest nipples ever too, when I touch them it makes my eyes water 🤣 ooo lovely a fry up sounds great I might ask DP to make me some bacon 😂

@ilovetrees30 do you find exercising helps? I haven't exercised since I found out, previously had been working out a few days a week using max 5kg. But have been going on daily walks.

@whatsthecraic91 yum! Bacon sounds good to me!

@Cat028 its definitely helping with the tiredness. I go to a ladies only gym and they are very much supportive of still working out when pregnant just dont go mad or start anything new. Its also helping me not lose my mind. Its such a lovely community of women who support everyone. Zoom workouts are strange though.

We had beef stir fry but kind of regretting it now.

I’ve been exercising too, feel like I can’t possibly be pregnant if I’m still working out! 😂. I felt a bit nauseous before today’s workout so took it easy and the sickness subsided! I find it helps with cramps too!

I want to keep healthy during the pregnancy!

I'm from Cambridgeshire!

A private scan is a great idea, hadn't thought of that so will investigate for around 8 weeks so me and DH can go for the first time together.

Had some light brown spotting today so hoping that isnt a bad sign! I guess time will tell.

@whatsthecraic91 it's lovely to see your name in this thread. When are you due?

My stomach has been so bad my toilet situation is all over the shop. Just had a rather nice steak take away. Had to have well done instead of my normal blue 😔

@ilovetrees30 I wanted to start doing some body weight exercises, squats that sort of thing too alongside my walking. But am I mad to start them when I haven't been doing them? I want to get fitter for the birth and try to control the weight gain!

@Cat028 I had my bacon, a fried egg & some toast it was amazing 😆

@Elmlee one app says 2nd Jan the other the 5th! What about you? Sames I had the runs this morning but yesterday I was constipated 😂 so strange! Oh hope it was nice, a well done steak isn't the best 😅

@whatsthecraic91 you should be okay if its something slow and steady. Just dont go too crazy. Is this when I admit I only eat medium well to well done steaks haha!!

@whatsthecraic91 if you search for pregnancy workouts on youtube there's loads on there that you can do 👍🏼

This steak I had was really good considering! Very well seasoned.
I hadn't had a well done steak in over 13 years!

The midwife I spoke to earlier estimated based on my last period Christmas Day!!!!! Which isn't ideal but another I spoke to who I'll be under though my GP said the date won't be accurate until scan.

I'm going to try walking round the block and getting a routine. I've been so lazy.

@ilovetrees30 have you told someone at the gym you are pregnant for them to guide you or just continuing what they did before?

@whatsthecraic91 sounds fab! I shall be having a bacon sarnie tomorrow morning.

Haha all this talk of food... ive been ditching all the "bad" foods like bolognese, pizza and bread etc and had two days of eating leafy greens and fish and veg etc. Hahaa definitely cant keep this up forever. i was trying to feed "it" healthy stuff 🤣🤭

@ilovetrees30 okay gonna start at the weekend and see how I get on! Well you're lucky you can still have your steak the way you like it! I'm a medium - rare girl 🙂

@Lakes10 ah yes I never thought of YouTube! Thank you I will have a look!

@Elmlee do you have long cycles? Maybe it will change when you get a scan!

@Cat028 do it! You won't regret it 😂
