Due November 2021 - anyone?

[AlackAlasAlackaday]

Anyone else with veeery early November positives who wants to hop on a thread and keep one another company?

I’ll start - I’m a MN regular posting under a new name. Took a test this morning and got a BFP! I already have DD(3) and last year we sadly lost her sibling to miscarriage - so I’m expecting a nervous nine months ahead. Sorest boobs ever and odd dreams the past few days but otherwise feeling ok (I know it’s very early though!). Oh, and DD gave me a hug yesterday and announced that there was a baby in my belly 🤦‍♀️

How are others getting on?

On and off and no bleeding so trying to push it to the back of my mind! I think it probably is stretching?
Glad I have somewhere to write my worries or I reckon early pregnancy unit will have blocked my number haha x

@Nov21 I am also getting the odd cramps feeling, hope too it’s uterus moving about and doing it’s thing!

@jennytogether sorry about your loss - I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed you get a positive when you do test!

I’m going to try and get an early night and hopefully avoid the 4am club again... but we’ll see! Might see a few of you online going cuckoo in the early hours 🙈

@Strawberry0998 Good luck... I'll pop on here at 4am if I end up in the club again... here's hoping I don't! Although obviously if I wake up at a normal time I'll panic that my symptoms are disappearing 😂

Ordered myself a blackout eye mask in the hope I can sleep in longer than 4:30 tomorrow morning, really needed an early night tonight but also REALLY needed to watch the Oprah interview 😅 hope you sleep well xx

Nah, Oprah can do one, I’m watching Masterchef!
It’s a bit chilly here and I really want to hug my heated pillow but I’m having to make do with warming my feet on it

I have an early start at work tomorrow, can guess what time I’ll be awake . I need to get into Master chef sun, I always really enjoy them even though the first rounds seem to last years. Currently watching Married at First Sight Oz and it’s totally not my thing but after a year of lockdown the bar is very low in this house!

Oh which series Alack? I watched 5 & 6, it was bonkers!

One of my friends recommended Married at First sight, I think I might start watching that at night if I can't sleep.

Just did another clear blue test and obviously not FMU. Says 3+ even at this time of the day. The NHS calculator seems to suggest I'm not even 5 weeks yet but this seems to say otherwise. I hope it's right and I'm a week further on somehow.

Well 3:15 was a new one for me tried just going back to sleep but I have a cat trying to us me as a pillow and hubby snoring his head off! I’m going to see what’s on this headspace App for sleep to see if it helps me go back.

Have heard good things about the married at first sight Oz? Meant to be quite entertaining? X

Aaaand here we are are... didn't even make it to 4am this time! 😥

Hello 4am club - up worrying as usual!

@squidlady me either?! I wonder why so early today!!

@sheslikebutter oh no I’m sorry you are worrying - it’s so hard once your mind gets going to switch back off!

Hello! Little bit late this morning, but here all the same

@Sunbird24 good morning to you too! Oh I hope this 4am club is only temporary!

So do I!

I'm awake too. So ridiculous

What does everyone do when awake? I’m having to stay in bed as we had a 9 month old lab downstairs and I don’t want her to get into a bad routine if I get up and she thinks this is it for the day 😂

In my first pregnancy I often had a bath around 5am, a nice start to the day. Watch TV. Read. Nothing really.

Now I'm mostly angry that the toddler is finally starting to sleep better (one wake up tonight) but I am wide awake

I'd be hiding from the puppy too! She sounds sweet.

Oh bath is a good idea, but I know it would probs wake up pup & hubby - oh we need a bigger house and pronto!

It’s always the way isn’t it, typical life that your toddler is fast asleep and your wide awake!

Oh she is sweet for a lab she’s good as gold, sleeps from 9:30-10 through to 7! Not a peep - hoping this baby will be the same (probably no chance!)

I mainly just lie here wi seeing if a) I can kill my other half for sleeping so soundly or b) if I'll ever sleep again

I have a stinking cold (and what I think is a chest infection) that my body is struggling to fight, I think it's energy is being used else where 🥰- any tips?

I join you in the sentiment of a! If I have to kick OH one more time he’s going to give my foot a bruise 😂

Sorry you aren’t well - that’s the icing on the cake when you can’t sleep either. No tips other than lots of fluids and stay wrapped up - lots of rest too! (Even if it’s not sleeping!) x

I'd like to order a baby that sleep as well as your puppy too please! Fingers crossed for both of us.

@MissDaniB a cold is awful when pregnant as you can take so little. Sorry to hear you're unwell. Definitely steam in the shower. Hot flannels on sinuses if necessary, tea, fruit juice. And go see your GP if necessary, I'm sure there would be something you can take if it is a chest infection.

I feel really nauseous this morning. And my super sense of smell is definitely arriving. Everything smells weird

@Strawberry0998 @LikeSomeKindOfMadness Thanks both - I guess what I should be doing is taking a couple of days off work to let my body recover and try and fight it whilst also trying to grow a tiny baby!

Also up early here, though was trying to lie in bed without my phone in case it helped (spoiler: it didn't). Gah. Yawn. Feel like a zombie.

Wishing you well miss, no need for a cold on top of everything else!
