Hey,
Anyone else out there due April 2022.
I got my BFP at 10DPO yesterday. I already have a 6 month old daughter and it's my 4th pregnancy 🌈❤️

@bollocksthemess I feel your pain. I had to take a nap in the work day as I'm constantly tired and I too can smell everything - not ideal given DH has no control over his 💨. Add to that by body cycles between be absolutely freezing or boiling hot. But the worse is when any of these symptoms stop for even a minute and I start to panic that it could be a bad sign.

This is my first pregnancy so I have no idea what is "normal" for me.

Guys I was just wondering if we could all make a group chat or something? It's very hard to keep up on here lol

@SlipperTripper

Hi everyone, joining if that's ok. Due April 23rd, absolutely petrified - it's my second pregnancy, lost my daughter last year at 21 weeks, so stressing out BIG TIME!

Only 4w5d, and not feeling much except a bit of cramping and slightly fizzy boobs, but I am knackered... 😴

Aw I'm so sorry! I lost my 24 weeker last month at 7 months old! I know how you feel sweet, I'm always here x
MamaSJ15 · 18/08/2021 20:51

So I'm not 100% convinced this is going to be a viable pregnancy. Today's tests were lighter than yesterday's. I've been bleeding since Sunday (when I though AF had arrived), but it's lighter than a period which of course can be normal in early pregnancy but I didn't have any bleeding with my DD. Going to test again tomorrow and see if it's gets darker or lighter!

MamaSJ15 · 18/08/2021 21:21

Okay so, the progression is going backwards, I think it's a chemical...
Top one was yesterday morning, middle was this morning and top was tonight...
May be leaving the thread soon, but good luck to you all!! ❤️❤️

Due April 2022

@Laurenxx94 best of luck tomorrow keep us posted when I miscarried I never really felt that pregnant at all so that’s a great sign you feel pregnant. I’m 6 weeks tomorrow and have been feeling pregnant for a few days now so hoping this is my sticky bean xx
@MamaSJ15 congrats xx

LittleMG · 18/08/2021 21:33

I’m really cold!! Shivering this afternoon!!

wannabeamummysobad · 18/08/2021 21:34

@MamaSJ15 I don't really have words- I'm so sorry for everything you are going through.

Laurenxx94 · 18/08/2021 22:23

@FinnsMammy thanks so much for thinking of me will let you know how I get on ❤️💜

[quote Namastay]@Nervyy hi, for what it's worth I think you're very brave to be honest about how you're feeling 💪💪 we all feel the need to present a picture of perfection to the world and yet that's not real life 😊I've had some very difficult mental health problems in the past and speaking about how we feel IS ALWAYS the best thing to do ❤️
I reckon we have to just ride the waves of hormones that are to come and never stop sharing. It's ok to not be ok and it's good to say when you're not ok. Take good care xx[/quote]
@Namastay thank you for your kind words and support ❤️ I am trying to pull myself out of this rut as I know it isn't healthy for me or baby but it is so difficult when everything feels heavy.
I'm not sure if it's all just compounded by the fact I'm on annual leave from work so have lost routine and focus.
Going to keep my chin up and hopefully there'll be an improvement soon! Xx hope you are doing well xx

Namastay · 19/08/2021 03:49

@Nervyy 💪👍👍 be strong, just let it pass..... it will 😊
I'm good, thanks :) x

FinnsMammy · 19/08/2021 07:43

@SlipperTripper and @chloehunt I’m so sorry to hear you both lost babies so far along that must of been so hard to go through hopefully you both never have to go through that again xx
@MamaSJ15 sorry it looks like a chemical it it just proves you can get pregnant so don’t give up hope xx

MamaSJ15 · 19/08/2021 08:42

@wannabeamummysobad @Nervyy @FinnsMammy thank you all for your kinda words. I'll head off this thread now, but wishing all the luck in the world to everyone here 😊

Anyone still recording their BBT? I had a mild panic this morning at 7 weeks, as my BBT had dropped from the stable 36.9-37.1 down to 36.5.
I got into a right panic thinking it's all over! Then looked at the time and it was 5am and I usually take my temp at 8am. Went back to sleep (that took a while!) woke back up and took temp again and it was 37.05. Phew!
All those months BBTing and I never realised how much timing can affect the numbers.

Lorbs10 · 19/08/2021 11:32

I have them on 24/7.
I’m not sure if they are helping as I still feel horrendously sick all day and night…willing to try anything at this point.

Has anyone been to their GP about nausea & if so what are they recommending?
I’ve literally spent the past week in bed living off crackers…feeling pretty low. 👎🏼

chloehunt · 19/08/2021 11:45

@Lalala1985 I'm in the same situation I've hardly been sick but I can't really stomach anything I have to spit it out before I am sick, even waters making me feel sick

chloehunt · 19/08/2021 11:45

@Lorbs10 I'm in the same situation I've hardly been sick but I can't really stomach anything I have to spit it out before I am sick, even waters making me feel sick (sorry tagged the wrong person)

Lorbs10 · 19/08/2021 11:50

Yea same…I’m losing so much weight & have zero energy.
Praying that this passes soon & for anyone else feeling similar!!

LittleMG · 19/08/2021 12:15

Sickness not hit me yet but last pregnancy I got dehydrated and my mum made me drink soda water and it helped me so much I got a soda stream got it up and running again now. @Lorbs10 @chloehunt try orange ice lollies it might give a moments relief. I’m very early in waiting for all this to hit me Confused

FinnsMammy · 19/08/2021 12:21

@Boredinthehouse12 I think you said you had a scan today. If so best of luck x

wannabeamummysobad · 19/08/2021 12:33

@Lalala1985 I never tracked bbt when TTC but can understand why what would give you a fright.

It's so hard knowing what "normal" is. This is our first pregnancy so everything feels odd. Can't wait for it to be April so we can see our little one in person. In the meantime, will be booking in a private early scan around 7/8 weeks. Stickiest of beans to us all 💕💕

wannabeamummysobad · 19/08/2021 12:38

Hi ladies, I'm 4 weeks pregnant and have a very active social life. I'm curious to know how you all are behaving in the first trimester? Staying away from people to avoid questions on drinking etc? Really not sure what to do for the best.

Basically shield myself socially until I'm 12 weeks in October or use a random excuse? Advice please

chloehunt · 19/08/2021 12:41

@LittleMG I've just had mash from kfc and was able to stomach it! I feel better for being able to eat now!
