@Babylove94x my mum and sis in law tell me they were the same as you. Sailed through pregnancy, no horrible symptoms. I'm the complete opposite unfortunately but certainly wish I was symptom free. Either way, gorgeous little babies arrive at the end Grin
You're really close to me with EDD. I'm 27th Dec. Feel like I've been 7 weeks pregnant forever- had an early scan and they put me back 5 days.

@showmethegin I understand your worries. I was also put back with dates and I was really concerned because I knew exactly when my LH surge was but after looking into it, you can ovulate uo to 36 hours after a LH surge and it can take 12 days to implant so that can really add on the days. Do you know how many DPO you were when you got your BFP? I was (what I thought was) 11 DPO but it could easily have actually been 8 DPO and I ovulated later than I thought.
Are you planning any more early scans or will you wait for the 12 week one now?

I can't even watch the Saturday cooking shows 🤢 have to go food shopping aswell but there's no chance of that any time soon!

Elmlee · 16/05/2020 10:35

@Snapper81 my early scan was the same it put me back a week so I've felt the same. Walked in to the scan thinking I was 7+4 and left 6+4 now I'm actually 7+1 it's been a long week lol 😂

@showmethegin my early scan was fairly similar, I was faced with being out back a week and it worries me. I think all we can do is pray for the 12 week mark and hopefully see someone who gives us more time. I imagine the equipment would be a lot better also!

We going to make a 3rd thread soon? As I think this one will be full soon? 😘

calipoppy · 16/05/2020 11:01

My early scan also put me back 5 days but I've decided to just ignore it and assume they're wrong until 12 weeks because I couldn't face another week of waiting for sickness to pass right now 😂

@ElectricTonight oh I'm the same with cooking shows! I've been doing Sainsbury's click and collect for food shops so I don't have to actually go in, normally they have slots available for the next day round here so maybe it might be worth looking into? X

Rnic1x · 16/05/2020 12:05

Afternoon girls, hope everyone is ok. I don't want to jinx myself here but I've managed a whole morning without wanting to vomit! First day in ages I've managed to eat without feeling sick too 🙌 hopefully this is the way forward 8+1 so I might be wishful thinking but I'll take it 😂

I'm still shattered though and boobs are still just as sore and big 🙈 ordered some stretch mark cream today I think I'm getting them on my boobs already!

Hope everyone has a good weekend xx

ElectricTonight · 16/05/2020 13:05

@calipoppy I managed to get my shit together and walk to the corner shop, picked up a packet of those super noodles they literally saved me 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I managed to get a delivery slot on amazon fresh too so I'm super happy now!

december2020 · 16/05/2020 13:20

Would it be terrible if I went for a 30min nap? 🧐
I'm exhausted, even though I had a good nights sleep last night.

I should be doing some bits around the house and some chores (place feels like a tip and the husband is at work).

calipoppy · 16/05/2020 15:18

Haha nice work @ElectricTonight it's the little things these days isn't it!! Also super noodles I could totally eat right now. This really is like a permanent hangover isn't it?!

@december2020 I honestly nap most days so I say do it, you're building a human after all!

Katbaby · 16/05/2020 16:18

Anyone else feel 10x worse after a nap? Fell asleep after a walk just woke up and was violently sick. Now shaking under a blanket 😴😴 so tired still as well!

december2020 · 16/05/2020 17:12

Oh god @calipoppy I ended up falling asleep at 2.45 and only woke up at 4.30 😐
I feel like this day has become a bit of a nothing lazy day. Damn! But at least I'm well rested ready for bedtime tonight! 😂

notalwaysalondoner · 16/05/2020 17:32

@december2020 I’ve been off work this week and have had an hour or hour and a half nap after lunch almost every day. It’s bliss! I’m always a bit groggy after waking up but it’s worth it. That’s also on top of sleeping solidly 11pm-9am every night! Tiredness is pretty much my only symptom right now!

dixiedo · 16/05/2020 17:55

Hey guys.
I love reading through this as feel so much more normal.
I haven't been sick today. At all. Surprisingly feel good, and my constipation (2 weeks) has ended... tmi but I lost 3lb.
A bit concerned that I have gone from one extreme to another so DP booked me in for a scan tomorrow. The only one with space have said no partners but will send the whole scan to my phone. So I'm in tomorrow and then again next Sunday too.
I am dreading them putting me back any more I would be gutted at this point. I'm hoping everything is okay I'm becoming really anxious that it's not ! Does anyone else feel glass half empty??

I felt the same as down thread about partners not getting it. I've barely done any housework for two weeks as I've been so ill with the UTI and sickness and I think DP is getting fed up of it now as usually I do the lions share of housework and all cooking. I now gag when I open the fridge, we've barely had sex and the thought of kissing makes me heave.

I want him to get back to work so I can mope around without feeling guilty and watch kids films with my youngest in bed all day. Xx

djmbaker · 16/05/2020 18:41

Hi girls, I had my midwife appointment this morning which was lovely my midwife is really nice. It doesn't really get me excited though as I was told I was low risk last time but it's still nice to feel like the journey has started.

I've been suffering with palpitations recently, they aren't sure if it's anaemia or the anti biotics so I've had my bloods done this morning with the midwife so hopefully that will explain if it is.

How's everyone? I've managed to eat pizza tonight which just feels amazing!! To just enjoy food again.. 🙌🏼 even if it's just for today 😂😂

We are going to need a new thread aren't we? Getting a bit close to 1k

Please send me your love today Im feeling so down been throwing up bile all day today and I'm so fed up 😭😭

@djmbaker yes getting very close to 1000. Glad you are able to eat today 😊 I've felt awful since my nap and keep puking feeling Verrryyyyyy sorry for myself haha

@dixiedo I'm completely off the idea of sex too, we've only had sex once since my bfp and that felt slightly uncomfortable think because I was tense and didn't relax into it. My house is turning into a shit tip too as im usually the one who does most the cleaning!

ew1990 · 16/05/2020 19:47

Hi ladies. Glad to hear peoples nausea is subsiding a bit.

Im worrying myself as all nausea has gone and my boobs aren't the slightest bit sore. I'm sure I worried all the way through with DD but I never had symptoms so never worried about losing them.

calipoppy · 16/05/2020 20:25

Ah @katbaby so sorry to hear you've had such a rough day that really sounds horrendous Sad hope you're being well looked after! Maybe try to get an early night, at least if you're asleep you can't feel bad!

Have you spoken to your midwife or dr about your sickness? They might be able to give you something to help x

dixiedo · 16/05/2020 20:30

@ew1990 I posted earlier about panicking about sickness disappearing DP booked a scan but I've been sat here for the last twenty mins with the waves of nausea creeping slowly !!! I'm hoping they do just come and go.

@Katbaby bile sounds awful bless you ! I feel for you.
I'm one of those that doesn't really like to be touched when I'm not feeling great anyway so it's not going great. I'm hoping this pregnancy doesn't kill off my relationship

For my third pregnancy would really have thought it's my first. I know mine where a while ago but I have no idea what I'm expecting what's normal and what's not. Really anxious !!! I've been crampy too

Is anyone else huge ? X

ew1990 · 16/05/2020 20:36

Ahh @dixiedo I mustve missed it. There's loads to catch up on. Just trying not to worry. Hope your scan goes well 😊

december2020 · 16/05/2020 20:47

@notalwaysalondoner that sounds absolutely dreamy! I have 2 days off before the bank holiday weekend so really looking forward to a good lunchtime nap!

@ew1990 I feel the same! That apart from tiredness my symptoms aren't as strong anymore. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. I think I'm going loopy as now tempted to book a second reassurance scan 😐

I'm currently dreaming of what the next holiday would be! We always had plans to do a baby moon somewhere relaxing and with the current situation that's definitely out the door. Been busy googling "baby friendly" holiday destinations.

Rnic1x · 16/05/2020 20:51

Hi girls, so I thought I'd share this with you all incase you fancy them too.

I'd ordered announcement cards but when they arrived felt they were a little lacking colour... So I've been in touch with a girl from Etsy and she's designed this today (just been added), they are digital so you add scan picture name and due date yourself and print them all, they are really cheap so I'm buying some nice gloss paper to print them off and I love it. You can edit for 90 days from purchase too so I will just add scan picture by photo and due date on the day of scan... www.etsy.com/uk/listing/796361236/december-due-date-calendar-card?ref=related-3&pro=1. Saves having to get a load of scan copies as we have a lot of family to give out too xx

ew1990 · 16/05/2020 20:58

@December2020 well I've not had a reassurance scan. But the weeks are flying by it seems to me so only 2 and half weeks till my 12 week scan so I'm gonna try and hold out.

december2020 · 16/05/2020 21:02

@ew1990 I had one early reassurance scan (mainly as I was diagnosed with mild PCOS and was supposed to be referred to a fertility clinic, so it all felt a little too good to be real)! Ah! My 12 week scan is in 2.5 weeks as well - 3rd June.

ew1990 · 16/05/2020 21:08

Ahh mines the 4th! Not to long now. When I got the letter it was 5 week away and that's gone pretty fast. But I do have work and a 2 year old to keep me busy. 😂

calipoppy · 16/05/2020 21:30

Ill be 10 weeks on Monday and I still don't have a date for my 12 week scan!! So I'm guessing it's going to be really late!

YahBasic · 16/05/2020 21:36

I’m 10 weeks today @calipoppy and I’ve not had my date either.

My midwife said that they are averaging at 12-13 weeks so hope the letter arrives this week! Otherwise it’s quite last minute to rearrange with work.
