Anyone else 5 weeks pregnant?

[babyboybluex]

I got a lovely dye stealer this morning and I am so chuffed! After a CP in July, seeing that beautiful first line so dark is giving me great hope.

Anyone else 5 weeks? How are you feeling?

Insomnia is awful isn’t it. I wake at 2:30am on the dot and can’t go back to sleep because I feel so sick. So I creep downstairs in my fleece robe and sit on the sofa drinking tea while the ondansetron and metaclopramide start working. By the time the sickness improves my son’s up and about wanting breakfast (used to be 5am, now he’s up at 4:30 for some reason!)

No idea why it’s a 2:30am start but it’s been that way since the start of this pregnancy!

Oh it is hideous isnt it?? 2am for me. Then I lay there for what feels like days!! This morning ds snuck in at some point, with his pillow and a tiny little cuddle turtle. Which then kept freaking out because turtle was gone..! I was grateful for the alarm at 6am lol x

@SkaterChick

So basically I have to go back in 48hrs and see what the hormone's have done. If they've stayed the same then there is prob eptopic that isn't growing but may need intervention. If they've dropped then it's just a miscarriage.

If by some miracle theyve increased then it may be viable but early. I felt like they were just saying this as they had to and because I don't have regular cycles.
I'm not banking on this though as although my boobs are still sore my nause has calmed right down and maybe just cause I'm anxious now.
Plus due to work and life we haven't dtd since 22nd October. Plus I got a fsint line on an opk the week before so we are loads that week to cover us. I ran out of opks so didn't bother tracking it further.

@SkaterChick that is such a horrible situation for you!! How are you doing? I'm so sorry it's a wait and see thing. Its not easy as 48 hours seems like an eternity doesnt it. Do you have time off work? Xx

[quote Blondiebrownie6]@SkaterChick so sorry to hear of your situation :( what a horrible limbo stage for you to be in. Be kind to yourself xx

Omg @Snoopy28x and no pain relief , I was sat here last night thinking I wonder if she pushed or c section lol! Thanks god for a quick labour! I’ve not even given labour too much thought, when I do think about it it it sends me into a state of panic haha. I’ve got a while yet 🤣

Sounds like emotional side is out in all of us lol! Although with good reason with something like that happening to you 😩 just an expense and inconvenience that’s not needed right now ! Hopefully Ds settles soon and your mornings become less stressful! My tiredness has really hit today, stepped away from laptop and sat down at 4 on the sofa for a second and woke up at 5.30…ooopsss! Feeling queasy again today so somethings going on in there!

Feel for you ladies with insomnia , I had it the first few weeks but it’s eased now , hoping it gets better for yous soon and the sickness gets better soon @FateHasRedesignedMost[/quote]
@Blondiebrownie6 haha yeah not even gas and air!!! They had me in some strange.. closet lol I asked for a water birth, which I had with dd. However it was in use. So they found a bath in this odd room, however 2mins in there I had to push. But he was getting distressed so had to climb out of there mid contraction lol then deliver on the floor leaning on a beanbag. But the room 2wasn't set up for birth so no gas and air etc in there. Very strange situation lol highly recommend a proper water birth though, again no pain relief and it was weirdly relaxing. Pretty lights, lovely warm water which helps with the pain. Much more relaxed experience.

Well managed to get hold of a fridge last night so all sorted until the other one gets fixed. Much to dd delight she has cheese again lol

Haha jealous of your nap! I went to bed at 8pm. I was wiped out, yet again 2am wake up. Then when I got up at 6am I felt so queasy! Xx

@snoopy28x I was the same last night- 2am woke up feeling queasy and then again at 6am. I've messaged my line manager at work and said I've got a bug so I'll be taking a day off today. Need to actually get some sleep and stop feeling sick!

Morning everyone, I'm doing okay today. Just absolutely exhausted. I'm off work still and I just want to sleep all the time.
Still bleeding, no change to that. The cramps have eased off though.
I'm really nauseas this morning, probably because I'm so anxious though. And my boobs are still getting sorer, hopefully they'll calm down soon cause it's doing my head in!

Just going to chill and watch trashy TV while the dude is at work today!

Hi Ladies,

I have been a little quiet on here the last week or two as been busy getting myself in a tiz that something wasn’t right with my pregnancy, symptoms etc.

I went for an early viability scan this evening and am pleased to advise all looked ok .. measuring at 7+3… but there was a bit of a shock, there were two of them! We are both absolutely shell shocked and don’t even know where to begin.

I hope everyone is ok xx

@AR21 glad all is well. But wow what a shock that must have been, maybe it explains your feeling that something wasnt right?

@AR21 oh my! Congratulations! How are you feeling about that?

@SkaterChick how are you feeling today?

@Lemonadee I just got back from having the bloods being taken so just gotta wait a few hours for them to call with the results which will determined what happens next.
My cramps had calmed down yesterday but they're back today, and the bleeding was a bit heavier this morning when I got up but it was like ewcm kinda consistency 🤷‍♀️
Ready for my boobs to stop feeling so full and sore now though.

Hey everyone, Heard from the hospital, hormones have dropped from 41 to 36 so they're classing it as a miscarriage not eptopic but I've got to take a preg test in 3 weeks to check everything has gone back to "normal" and bleeding should hopefully stop somewhen in the next week.
I'll have to drag myself back to work at some point but they did say I maybe very tired until the bleeding subsides.

@SkaterChick I'm so sorry 😞 I hope you feel better soon x

@SkaterChick sorry to hear this.. how are you doing? Life can be so cruel xxx

@ar21 wow.. lol that must have been a shock! Congratulations! I'm sure once it sinks in you'll be super excited! Xx

I'm feeling really stressed with life right now! Got my exam next week which I dont feel ready for, booking app tomorrow. Dh has been in a and e all day with chest pains and back pains. He thinks chest infection it's been there a week, the back pains. However they are doing all sorts of blood tests, heart tests, x Ray's. I'm really worried and hate not being there with him. Trying to just act normal for the kids, they think daddys waiting to see the dr and it's just taking a while. I just want to get home and be ok 😔 xx

@skaterchick so sorry to hear this. I hope your work can give you as much time as you need to heal, physically and emotionally x

@Lemonadee It’s taken about 24 hours to sink in but now, really positive! Super overwhelming of course as of al the things I thought could be said at the scan, that wasn’t one of them, however it’s very exciting and just got to work extra hard to keep them both safe and healthy. How are you doing? Xx

@SkaterChick I am really sorry to hear your news and like everyone else says, now is the time to look after you xx

So I've been feeling not so queasy today, my boobs are still sore. Still seeing in the night and odd dreams and exhausted. Just makes me nervous when I feel more.. normal!? Anyone else?? X

@snoopy28x yeah! It's rubbish, you think we'd welcome a few hours of peace away from the cramps and quease, but then we just worry about where it's gone!

Hey ladies, how are you all doing?

So I had my booking app yesterday. A few vials of blood taken. The midwife said I will be consultant led as I'm old 😂 (40) and that they usually like to try and deliver 38-39 weeks due to the placenta not working as great after that time. They are putting me on aspirin daily to. I'll have extra scans to keep an eye on the growth and the gestational diabetes test incase that was why ds was so big! She said my scan will be anytime between 2nov and middle of nov. So I'll get that date through soon.

Feeling a bit... stressed, emotional and snappy the last few days. Biting everyone's head off. I'm exhausted but the sickness has gone away, boobs still super sore and my nipples are always hot!?

Hope your all doing ok xx

Snoopy28x

Glad your appointment went well and you’re feeling less sick. How long did the booking appointment take?

I haven’t booked mine yet because a) I can’t find the number and the GP doesn’t know it b) I’m worried about getting through the appointment without vomiting!

I’ve had to reduce my ondansetron dose as I forgot to order the repeat prescription on time, already feeling the effects (up at 2am vomiting constantly instead of being up at 2am with insomnia)!

Also keep getting that milk let down feeling in my boobs, like when you’re breastfeeding. Wasn’t expecting to feel that until later. My breasts have tripled in size (hello stretchmarks) and very sore but not hot (yet).

Also feeling snappy, solidarity! Xx

@FateHasRedesignedMost I had to register online, my gp practice had the link on their website. Then the midwife contacts you to strange booking app. She said I was the first face to face booking app shes had! It's been over the phone since covid. However if your suffering with bad sickness maybe they could still offer that to you?

The app was 90mins. Including urine sample and blood tests. Alot of form filling, previous pregnancy history, health questions, about you and your partner and extended family. They check your weight and height.

Sorry to hear your feeling so sick! That must be awful! Xx

Hello ladies , how are you all?

That’s amazing @AR21, congrats on your news! I can only but imagine the feeling of seeing 2 bubba’s on the screen! How are you feeling now?

@Snoopy28x glad to hear booking appt went ok and that they’ve advised of the aspirin to, are you feeling ok about it all? How’s your hubby doing now? Sorry to hear he’s poorly, what an unsettling time/week you’ve had! Hot nipples is a weird one lol! Symptoms are on and off here to, felt okish past 3 days which has freaked me out but just gagged/wretched my way round a food shop so they seem To be back today :/ it’s strange. Midwife said at booking appt it can happen as reaching 10wks now and placenta starts to take over. I have the sore boobs still and sorry for the details but a lot of milky discharge downstairs , it’s actually quite messy!! She said their common symptoms so I guess that’s something to. I’ve my scan through for 4th November but likely to book a private next week to put my mind at rest!

@FateHasRedesignedMost thats strange your GP doesn’t know the number :/ I swear some GPS are just the most unhelpful places at times! I had to speak to a local ‘midwife hub’ and they assigned me someone from there. Could you maybe have a hunt on Google for a midwife hub or support function in your area? Sorry to hear of your sickness , sounds rotten! How far along are you now? My booking appt was done in 2 parts , 30 mins on the phone to start then 20 mins or so in person for height/weight , bloods etc and a few more questions. I had a few of questions for them and forgot to ask any of them 🤦🏼‍♀️ X
