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?

@MKe21 yup, I’m hungry but there’s nothing I really fancy and I feel really full anyway. Plus my belly already looks a bit fat, which is a likely combination of lockdown lard and bloating...

@Rmd123 I've been having some cravings. I don't think I did with my last pregnancy so this is different. I actually really really craved an apple the other day and it felt like the best thing I ever ate. Yesterday I ate a bunch of nice biscuits and they were so good. Unfortunately then threw up not long after.

Is anyone's sickness worse in the evening! I feel exhausted by then and it often feels like I have a lump or something stuck in my throat and that makes me feel sick. I guess at least I'm at home in the evening. I still feel queasy all day and gag all the time but the evenings are so much worse.

@LikeSomeKindOfMadness I'm the opposite - I'm sick most of the day (it varies between days, sometimes can't hold any food down, sometimes just dry retching) but I usually feel the best in the evenings. It's the only time I can eat anything really!

@Rmd123
No cravings here but also didn't get any in my last pregnancy either but I did go off chocolate which was dreadful! 😂

@Rmd123 I was desperate for salt and vinegar crisps yesterday. DH got some and they weren’t salt and vinegary enough.
@KS88 I can’t drink tea! I’ve been drinking decaf for a year so it’s not that just can’t stomach it. Keeping making cups out of habit and then being so sad that I only have a few sips.

Haven’t been sick yet. I’m only 5 weeks today thought I was going to be yesterday. Spend my mornings quite nauseated and then starving in the afternoon/evening.

I think there were lots of 4am posts a while back from people with pregnancy insomnia - does the fact that there aren’t so many now mean it’s eased off for some people? Woke up at 2am and couldn’t get back to sleep at all. Exhausted!

No I was awake I just didn’t post about it! 😂

@missdaniB so odd how it's so different for everyone! I wonder whether mine gets worse as I am so tired by then? Who knows.

Yes I was up at 5am like most days for no reason!

I have just felt like, from about 5 weeks, I have a constant hangover, nausea, tiredness, irritable, little bit of a sore head and craving carbs. I napped about 3 times yesterday! This really is no fun but we will all get there. X

@ronniemipperton ha the insomnia is real 😴 I'm 4+4 and wake-up all through the night. Then an early wake up call at 6am...for no reason at all 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Also...and I know people will hate me for this but I am really craving fruit and vegetables. The thought of eating bread or cheese or crisps (my usual go to) makes me feel queezy. Anyone else 🤔

@HLMx I had the most delicious carrot yesterday and half a cucumber!

I was definitely up in the night wide awake, no easing for me!

My cravings are all over the place Can’t help but wonder is it just me being me or is it the pregnancy haha!! Definitely more savoury than sweet though.

Oh no sorry to hear the insomnias still bad for others! Also sad because I was hoping it might get better once I was a bit further along 😆 I don’t remember it being this bad last time but maybe I’ve just blocked it out...

@ronniemipperton it's eased off for me, thankfully. But also concerning as it's only that and sore boobs I have as symptoms atm. 😞

@DizSquiz I have no symptoms! Had cramps the last week but they've eased off. Boobs are fine. I'm only 4+2 so maybe they haven't kicked in yet.

@Rmd123 I was the same at 4 weeks, am 6 weeks today and just a bit worried 😅

HLM I am eating a lot of apples, satsumas etc because I can eat them before I change my mind about them . Lots of other things seem ok, then I start cooking them and change my mind.

kty I had a good-ish week but was up at 3am this morning. Sorry you’re still in the thick of it too.

Please don’t worry about symptoms everyone! I’ve spoken to both my mum and sister about this who both had very mild/no symptoms and went on to have many healthy children :)

I still feel really sick if I did misscarry on Thurs how long after will I still feel sick for

@Ttc2017 have you stopped bleeding? My miscarriage in November lasted about 5/6 days, but I didn’t feel sick with it, just constant cramps.

I'm starving constantly. Mood swings are starting too - sobbing at nothing. I got 2-3 weeks on a digital this morning which is right on track so that's reassuring :) I swear my boobs are bigger...weird as I would've thought it was too early for any change. Anyone else?

Mine are genuinely over a cup size larger, it’s a thing apparently!

@AlackAlasAlackaday mine are too! And it's very noticeable as I'm only a small B cup, I'm not complaining 😂 also look like a roadmap, soooo veiny!

Feeling like I could eat everything and anything today, sickness seems to be giving me a break 🙌🏼 hope everyone's well x

I’m sick as a dog. Feeling awful. Although I’m hoping this a sign everything is good in there.

My boobs are close to the size I'd pay for in a boob job now! I'm enjoying it as they didn't change at all with ds.
