[BabyG123]

Hi girls, I've set this up to move on over! 👶🏼

@Babyboom1990 £70 in window to the womb. Suppose it's worth it if I can find out everything is ok. I'm going to wait to later and if I'm still bleeding I will book it. Blood continues to be just brown atm

@ladiebirdie, to follow up on the below, had my scan today and everything was fine! Measuring behind LMP but spot on for ovulation - 9+1 (I thought I was 8+6, but still). Heartbeat of 173.

So changing / lessening symptoms are obviously not necessarily a bad thing! In fact this weekend I felt so normal on Saturday it was scary - could eat proper food and go for a long walk, no nausea whatsoever. I will stop stressing about that now!
Sincerely hope all goes well with your scan tomorrow x

@gb000 glad everything went well and it definitely make us feel better to know that lack of symptoms is ok. Even better to know that you are further along than u thought!

I can't wait till some of us start sharing their scan photos... so exciting to be sharing this journey with u all x

Hiya can i join? Im due 7th jan currently 8+5 days feeling less sick today thankfully but been having on off cramps for a few days im assuming its just stretching but who knows, I've seen baby heartbeat last week which was reassuring as I was bleeding but thats due to a hemorrhage in the womb, congratulations everyone 😊

Thank you girls!

@Babyboom1990, I actually did have some light cramping and pulling this weekend. Nothing too intense but definitely noticeable. Apparently it's very normal bc your ligaments are stretching etc!

Ladies who are suffering with sickness or nausea what have you turned too to help?

Oh gosh I’m feeling super nauseous since yesterday! I’ve completely gone off food. I’m finding fresh fruit makes me feel better for a bit.

@gb000 Amazing news! 😃 glad to hear everything is okay and it's reassuring to know these things can happen but not be harmful to baby ^^

@Sazzy312 welcome! And congrats! 😁 Ohh I wish I was a bit more advanced, can't wait for my scan now!!

@lilypad88My sickness started before I found out, I kept getting travel sick 🤮

@MayBug2020 I’m on anti sickness although they help some days and not others. Travel bands are helping with the severity of nausea. Other than that I found just lying down and doing nothing (other half is impressed...)

Ugh... I feel like a big bag of potatoes... Even though I'm only 5 weeks, I feel fat already!

Do any of you got cats? I read everywhere I shouldn't change the litter box myself... bit lets be honest, if I let dp do it, it will be hafl done... 😒 do you think I'm taking a big risk??

@Positivetime thank you, I have had apple but can’t face bananas.

@Sonny124 haha yes I have to work up to getting out of bed in the mornings haha luckily working from home.

@lilypad88 I am the same I think it’s all the bloating. I don’t have cats but I have read about the risk - I would try and get your over half to do it xx

@lilypad88 my OH has been dealing with the litter tray since I got my BFP. Lucky him tbf normally I change it a lot more often so it's just evening things out. Although it is my cat...

@babyboom1990 and @gb000 I had cramps at the weekend too...well, more like someone was gently squeezing my insides...I wouldn't call them painful, exactly. They've stopped now though and I haven't had any bleeding so I figure its probably just stretching going on - the growth rate does seem to pick up at 9/10 weeks, so hope that's all it is. I have a very high pain threshold though, so never sure whether to trust my lack of pain, ha.

@babyboom1990 - ah that’s probably it then, rather than anything sinister. I’m afraid I have no idea re: order of bleeding and cramping, but I’m speaking to my midwife (finally) on Wednesday so I might ask her then, just in case it starts again.

@MayBug2020, I find having a rich tea biscuit every time I get up in the night and when I wake up in the morning good. Also having food little and often helps. Last pregnancy, I ate a lot of chewy ginger sweets, but this time , I can’t stomach them.

@MayBug2020 today's the first full day of nausea (8+6) normally just morning and evening. Really struggling at work. I'm not a good sicky person anyway 🤪

Over the weekend my nausea pretty much completely went and it was great now I fear it has made a comeback It’s horrible. I’m barely eating

@StephS1984 yes I might get some rich tea or digestives as I am not sure on the ginger snaps I got. I am trying to eat little and often by then worry I am eating too much. Feel so bloated this evening I honestly look like 5 months pregnant! :/

@BabyG123 oh bless you! I am the same though really struggle with being sick or feeling sick so knew I would struggle with it lol

@Lollipop93 oh no - it’s horrible that it tricks you and you think it’s gone. How after along are you? I am nearing 7 weeks and feel it’s ramping up! X

Did you all started having morning sickness as soon as you knew you were pregnant? I still don't have much symptoms apart from my nipples getting huge 😂
