@Mercuryfreddie I would think too much of it! One day I'm fine the next day I'm not! When I was spotting the only symptoms I had was sore boobs and I wasn't even hungry but the day of my scan i was almost being sick for a whole morning

Mandy133 · 19/08/2020 17:47

@Mercuryfreddie hey!!

I’m in exactly the same situation as you!!! Around 6.3 weeks I had nausea, sore and heavy breasts I actually felt pregnant... I’m 7 weeks today and for the last 3 days I have felt perfectly fine, nausea has completely gone! I’ve been stupidly doing pregnancy tests everyday for the last few days I’m still getting strong lines but it’s an accurate guarantee all is ok.

Only thing keeping me slightly sane is my heavy breasts, bloated tummy and veins on every inch of my body! Just really worried my nausea has dropped I had a chemical last month and really freaking out could this be a MMC.

I have read loads all over the place and sounds like it could just be normal ... symptoms can come and go... just hoping that’s the case here!

Wishing you all the best hope your scan goes well, keep us posted! Xxx

Mercuryfreddie · 19/08/2020 18:11

@Mandy133 @chloxhunt thank you both. I'm having mild cramps too which I think is making my anxiety worse. I've had no bleeding and no severe pains, so trying to stay positive. I do seem to remember feeling the same with my DD but that was 5 years ago... counting down the hours till Sunday!

Oldermum80 · 19/08/2020 18:15

@Mercuryfreddie I feel like my very mild ones have gone again. I’m making food that’s made me feel sick at the thought for the last few weeks which is adding to my worries. I had colour when I wiped and cramps but now it’s like tightening of my tummy. Trying to stay calm and positive. I’ve read lots about symptoms coming and going so hoping it’s that.

bobloblawlawblog · 19/08/2020 18:24

I'm feeling pretty ghastly constantly too! And I look like a whale already. Pregnancy glow is lies from my experience tbf. Didn't get it last time either. More pregnancy green from nausea and fatigue!

My shein maternity order came today. Surprised how decent the quality is.

chloxhunt · 19/08/2020 18:59

@Mercuryfreddie I was having cramps too! I spotted the other day and everything is fine! Mild cramping is normal! It's just everything stretching

Babyyno2 · 19/08/2020 19:15

Hi everyone

How is everyone feeling?

I'm 9 + 1 and for the past few days I have had in 1 leg the feeling like my circulation is being cut off. Then it goes numb and have pins and needles run up and down my leg.
Has anyone else had anything like this?

JTB123 · 19/08/2020 19:21

Can someone take my bank card off me please! ?
I keep buying subway because it's the only think I can think of eating that doesn't make me feel sick 🤣🤣

chloxhunt · 19/08/2020 19:22

@Babyyno2 aye I'm 9 weeks! No I haven't got that unfortunately but I do get a pain in my pelvic which is annoying

Babyyno2 · 19/08/2020 19:31

How have you been feeling? Have you had your scan date through yet?
This is the only pain I've had so far and it's so uncomfortable! Hopefully it passes

Taylortyler · 19/08/2020 19:54

@JTB123 I looked up how close the nearest subway to my work is earlier - 22 minutes - bit too far to go for lunch which made me really sad!

chloxhunt · 19/08/2020 19:59

@Babyyno2 besides food aversions and the thought of certain foods and my migraine I've been fine lol, no I haven't got my scan date through yet! Yeah it'll stop eventually!

[quote Anonymom31]@Mrs1989 it is helpful to know others feel the same way i do. It doesn't make me feel so alone. Im so sorry to hear about your miscarriage and with your first pregnancy as well it must have been so hard for you and your husband.

We told a lot if people too. My nan, mom, best friends. We were overjoyed. We didn't think about the worst. This time we havnt told a soul. Not even my boss. Luckily all my appointment have fallen on my days off work.

I obsess over the lack of symptoms daily and I dream about bleeding and wake up shaken and rush to the toilet. I even did a pregnancy test this morning to see if it was still positive. It was. But then i kept telling myself that means nothing at all. My body still produced the hormones for weeks after my previous pregnancy had stopped growing. It just didn't get the memo at all.

I'm glad you have a private scan booked. My partner hasn't been able to come to any of our scans and the hospital rang to confirm my appointment today and told me no partners allowed still. Hopefully all will be well and we can book a private gender scan for 17 weeks like we did with my little boy.

I hope all goes well for you and your anxiety eases too. The waiting is the worst part isnt it for the scans. I have always had early scans so I honestly have no idea how people go for the full 12 weeks without going to one. I would drive myself mad.[/quote]
@Anonymom31 thank you, yes it was very hard with it being my first pregnancy. I am quite an anxious person anyway so of course it’s set me up for being in a bit of a state now, but I’m trying to just take it easy and one day at a time. I will actually be 9+5 when I have my private scan but hoping I’ve left it long enough to see more and also in line with the statistics suggesting a much lower chance of something going wrong. NHS scan is a little over two weeks later so at least there are two things now I can focus on to break up the weeks. I also have no idea how anybody waits until 12 weeks and sometimes longer! It feels like I’ve been hanging on for months and months but I found out I was pregnant on 23 July!

How far along are you and when is your scan? Hopefully it’s not much longer to go now until we can feel a bit better about everything xxx

Phie04 · 19/08/2020 22:02

Does anyone else keep forgetting to take their antenatal tablets? I'm taking pregnacare and just keep forgetting to take them with my meal! Will it be ok to take them with toast or does it need to be with a big fat meal?

OP posts:
IWantAPetUnicorn · 19/08/2020 22:05

Yes just take them.

JTB123 · 19/08/2020 22:22

@Phie04 I take mine after breakfast as I used to take them on an empty stomach but can't figure out why that isn't ok! But now I seem to throw up after most meals so unsure if I'm even Getting them!! Might have to start taking before bed !

Sophielou8 · 19/08/2020 23:13

I’m due March 27th 2021 :)

ChilternsHan · 19/08/2020 23:21

I never remember to take with my meal, so usually have it just before bed - keep them on my bedside table to remind me. I think it's just better on a full stomach, which I still have then.

ValidUser · 19/08/2020 23:26

I graduated from the IVF clinic today! Subchorionic haematoma healed. Baby moving around and all. Delighted.

Thack · 20/08/2020 02:46

@Sophielou8 fantastic! Welcome in!

@ValidUser that's brilliant news!

I had the 2nd part of my booking appointment today. The 1st was over the phone, so I now have my paperwork and had bloods taken. It sounds foolish with hindsight, but they didn't mention that they'd want a urine sample. I was not prepared and just had no pee to give! Back I go tomorrow (/today, damn insomnia)

chloxhunt · 20/08/2020 03:24

@ValidUser that's amazing!!!

Sussexbysea · 20/08/2020 06:48

@ValidUser amazing news! You must feel so relieved.

@bobloblawlawblog I was looking at their clothes last night. They look relatively cheap too. I find that maternity jeans are really uncomfortable and super expensive from next. So shein May be my place to shop. I need everything, with my already big boobs and thick thighs I struggle with just going up a size in clothes

Anonymom31 · 20/08/2020 07:16

@Mrs1989 im actually 12 weeks today and have my scan at 10.1p this morning.

I haven't slept a wink so im pretty tired right now just sitting worrying.

Thats good though 2 scans in 2 and a bit weeks. It breaks it all up. Last scan I had was at 8 weeks so feels like a lifetime right now

Mrs1989 · 20/08/2020 07:52

@Anonymom31, all the best with your scan today, I hope it goes well Smile xxx
