@katbaby we’ve DTD twice since finding out. Little bit of bleeding the first time but we didn’t penetrate so am not worried...

Had nice long walk this morning - we’re in the cotswolds and it’s so beautiful this time of year.

Rnic1x · 02/05/2020 14:08

@Katbaby aww good, we've just been on a massive walk I'm knackered now 😂 I'm sure it will be fine try and keep busy lovely x

Katbaby · 02/05/2020 14:20

@notalwaysalondoner suppose at some point he will want sex aha can't keep him waiting til 2021 🤣 oh I'd love to visit the cotswolds, we've talked about getting an Airbnb and taking the dog sometime. We are north Yorkshire so some nice walks near me but most are 10-15 drive away so can't go to many at the moment!

@Rnic1x I know I need to get myself a hobby. Might teach myself to knit and make baby cardies and booties haha.

How are people feeling this afternoon? Group seems quieter today x

djmbaker · 02/05/2020 14:25

Thanks for replying girls ❤️
I've messaged my midwife. Feel so awkward messaging her as she's my neighbour and friend but also because I don't want to sound like I'm being dramatic. I'll see what she says.

It's not agony or anything so I'm not that worried, I have endometriosis and I read last night (on my late night google search) that in some cases pregnancy can make it worse so I'm hoping that's not the case either.

Weirdly, I have never wanted to DTD with Jordan as much 😂😂 he thinks it's bloody Christmas!! Must be hormones 🙈🙈

I LOVE Scotland! We got engaged in the highlands 18 months ago.. @Bumble84 it's the most special place to us.

How many are there of us?? This WhatsApp group is going to be huge come 12 weeks 😂

I had the stabbing in my left side in my last pregnancy. Turned out I had a cyst on my ovary which is quite common apparently. Went away on it's own.

The nausea has full on hit me. The only way to get rid of it is to eat but don't feel like eating 😩

Emz15 · 02/05/2020 14:40

@Bumble84 I’m from Scotland too!

Rnic1x · 02/05/2020 15:45

@djmbaker I bet there will be loads more in then next 6 weeks too! Can't wait.

I'm shattered this afternoon, haven't moved off the sofa since my walk watching old Inbetweeners 😂

SettyBuarez · 02/05/2020 16:07

Afternoon all. I'm at the point where some symptoms seem to have disappeared and now I'm doubting if I'm even pregnant and then in about 2 hours my boobs will randomly hurt again or I'll feel sick. It's weird and strange and annoying and worrying.

@djmbaker and @dixiedo I live about 25 miles from Chester too! Small world.

PocoyoandEllie · 02/05/2020 16:10

I am in the north west, also not far from Chester! Small world!

Snapper81 · 02/05/2020 16:16

Hi ladies,
I've been a bit of a lurker. Commented a few days ago but feel I should properly introduce myself. I'm an older mum- turned 39 this week and have a gorgeous 2 year old daughter. I'm 7 weeks pregnant today and due around the 20th December.

I've got a private scan booked for next Sunday. Will have to go alone cos hubby will need to look after my daughter. I'm really scared. I had a mmc in February and found out at the 8 week scan so my anxiety is going through the roof as I get closer to next Sunday but at the same time, I'm desperate to know if things are ok.
Nausea also kicked in at week 6 and today (after a bike ride), I actually vomited for the first time...followed by a much needed 2 hour nap!
I've really enjoyed reading this thread. It keeps me sane, knowing I'm not the only one feeling all these emotions and symptoms at the moment. We haven't told anyone except our two best friends at the moment. Considering telling if (fingers tightly crossed) all goes well next Sunday!

GeeHO98 · 02/05/2020 16:24

@DontStandSoClose sorry for late reply, I'm fine thank you I am miscarrying had it confirmed today & just wanted to check how you are before leaving thread?x

Nic2908 · 02/05/2020 16:30

Hi folks. I have been feeling great today. Enjoyed doing a bit of gardening and getting some much needed air. Hunny is also off today so that's an added bonus.

@Natt99 hope everything went ok today at your scan!! Been thinking of you.

How is everyone else doing??

I know I am a serial tester also but thanks to you lot i have just ordered clear blue digi... hoping to get my 3+ arrives tomorrow so fingers crossed!!

djmbaker · 02/05/2020 16:44

Wish they did a 4+ digi test 😂😂

I'm feeling a lot better now, typically. I think I just worried something bad was happening again, it's hard to explain but I actually feel really positive?? No idea why!

My midwife replied and said it sound like a cyst or the baby implanting into a side of the womb, she said she would expect me to be having weird cramps and pains this week but if I continue to feel pants then book a private scan as without bleeding they won't do anything at EPU right now.

How funny that there are so many of us who live in similar areas!!

Yes @Natt99 hope everything has gone ok! It was at 4pm her scan wasn't it??

@Snapper81 welcome!! Fingers crossed for your scan next week!! 🤍

Oh fab! touch wood everything goes to plan and we can have a nice chester meet up with the little babies !

I need to get out and go for a walk or something. I've cleaned like a mad woman today. Feel surprisingly energetic.

Hope you're all okay. It's so exciting how many of us there is ! Happy to share this with you all. Awww feel emotional now and I thought I had no symptoms today 😂

Bigcheesey · 02/05/2020 18:11

Today was not a good day for me. Knackered and vommy 🤢 fingers crossed it eases off tomorrow.

@djmbaker @dixiedo I’m Chester too! And totally agree about the distinct lack of decent Chinese takeaways!

Katbaby · 02/05/2020 18:18

@GeeHO98 I'm so sorry to hear that I hope you are holding up ❤️

As if there's loads of you in Chester I feel well out the loop!

Natt99 · 02/05/2020 18:18

Hey guys thanks for remembering xx Pleased to report that everything is fine 😃 really glad I had the scan as feel so relieved now. The receptionist and everyone there were really kind, I think they could tell I was super nervous. I did have to have it internally but it was fine, could hardly feel it.
A few seconds after they put it in they were like "all is fine" and switched on the big screen so you can see it! They said heartbeat was regular and strong. However, they said I'm measuring at 6w+2 not 6w+4 which makes the due date Christmas Eve!!!
Also, really cool the lady could tell me that it came from the right ovary as it was larger and corpus luteum was near there apparently. I'd really recommend it to anyone considering it. Hope you're all having a nice weekend and not struggling with symptoms too much. Here is the pic

Rnic1x · 02/05/2020 18:19

@bigcheesey aww no I hope you feel better soon :(
I'm from Cumbria and luckily our Chinese takeaways are amazing 🙈 I've only had one since lockdown but I fancy another now x

notalwaysalondoner · 02/05/2020 18:27

@Natt99 that’s amazing! I was going to book mine for 8 weeks to be sure it was really clear but tempted to do it for 7 weeks now!

I’ve also found designing a nursery on this site a bit addictive - reminds me of the sims when I was a kid! I have a blue and yellow Moroccan theme one and a more neutral grey one so far! designwithfriends.com/

djmbaker · 02/05/2020 18:29

@Natt99 awwww that's amazing!!! So happy for you. And you heard a heartbeat, that's so lovely. 😍😍😍😍

Katbaby · 02/05/2020 18:35

So happy all went well @Nat99! Can't wait to see this thread flooded with scan pics ❤️ so glad heartbeat was there and strong and a lovely Christmas eve due date.

When did you get your first BFP? Trying to guess my dates too!

dixiedo · 02/05/2020 18:44

@GeeHO98 sorry to hear this. Thinking of you x

PocoyoandEllie · 02/05/2020 18:47

Sending love @GeeHO98 ❤️

Love the scan pic!

My private scan is next Tuesday, I will either be 8 weeks +1 from conception of 9+ from LMP!

From LMP my due date is 10/12 but from conception it is 20/12

lc86 · 02/05/2020 19:26

I live 20 mins from Chester that's mad there are a few of us 😊😊.

Feeling a bit mixed today. Tired, bad back... sicky. Fizzy drink definitely is my best friend.

Just tried to defrost some beef mince saw the blood and nearly puked 🤢

Just counting down until my first phone call appointment. I keep wanting to do pregnancy tests to check stuff.

I really want an early scan but we will see xxx
