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? Flowers

@babyboybluex beautiful scan pictures!! Nice to meet you little person! 🥰😍 how exciting, does it seem real now?? Xx

Aw lovely @babyboybluex x

charlotte0808 · 05/11/2021 20:44

Had a pretty rough day today felt absolutely awful. Exhausted, cramping legs, bottom of my back couldn't stand for long as it's painful and my stomach feels sore and tender like a pulling sensation. Anyone else had this? I did phone epu been reading all sorts after the bleed I had aswell I was reading and thought I had a placenta abruption and incompetent cervix 🙈 think I'm going crazy x

Snoopy28x · 05/11/2021 21:02

@charlotte0808 with you on the exhaustion and restless legs! Its horrendous. I've had a weird sort of stitch feeling in my side the last few days and my SPD has started to kick in.. so I feel your pain!

When is your scan? Xx

charlotte0808 · 05/11/2021 21:07

It is horrendous woke me up early hours. Maybe a silly question but what's spd ? My 12 week is Tuesday they said I can have one Monday if still feeling like this but pretty pointless for one day. I did have a scan Monday just gone after my bleed she said I'll be about 12+4 Tuesday for the dating scan. When is yours? X

Snoopy28x · 05/11/2021 22:51

@charlotte0808 mine is weds I'll be 12+6 then.

Spd is really painful pelvic pain. It gets worse the bigger baby gets and more pressure on your pelvis. With ds I could barely walk for more than a few mins without being in excruciating pain! It's hideous. I'm already getting those familiar pangs if I walk alot or sit crossed legged x

Snoopy28x · 06/11/2021 16:28

My SPD has kicked in 😒 feeling fed up. Got that all to familiar stabbing pain in my pelvis when I walk. Its gonna be a long 28 weeks if I've already got the pains x

Hey lovely scan pictures so nice to see 😊❤️ mine is Tuesday. Spotting dark brown today still so it's making me more nervous for the scan I am hoping baby is still ok but there's nothing I can do atm. Apart from wish the minutes away till Tuesday lol x

Snoopy28x · 07/11/2021 18:53

@Blondiebrownie6 😍 lovely scan picture!

I'm feeling nervous as mine is fast approaching on weds. Also then it will feel real and dh wants to shout it from the rooftops ! Then it feels real.. I'm sure everyone will be super excited. I think my sister will be like omg how will you cope with another one lol she absolutely adores my 2 and spoils them rotten and kept saying away cant you have 1 more ha she doesnt have kids x

Blondiebrownie6 · 07/11/2021 19:52

Thanks ladies ❤️ Starting to feel very now!

@charlotte0808 well the fact it’s brown is a good thing, but I can understand how your be nervous! Your scan is so close now, is it morning so you haven’t got the wait all day? Mine was at 2pm and felt like torture!

@Snoopy28x it will soon be here! Aw that’s so lovely re DH, love hearing how the men are to :) lol I’m sure there may be the initial shock from your sis but it will soon turn to excitement and she’ll have another to spoil. My best friend has just had a 3rd and whilst it’s a juggle she is just loving being in that bubble again, it’s really sweet.

Any of you ladies any good at these nub predictions? 🤣 I’ve been staring at these pics and have no clue what to think or what it could be! I have absolutely no preference but I hate not knowing lol x

LFmumof4 · 07/11/2021 20:24

Hi everyone. First time i have ever posted on here. Hello everyone. I have 4 children already and was surprised to find out that I am 5+4 pregnant. The nausea has hit me hard the last few days and the headaches are awful. Anyone else experiencing this? I don’t know how I’m going to carry on working when I’m feeling like this from the moment I wake up! Any tips?

charlotte0808 · 08/11/2021 08:37

I have totally given up today. Still spotting been 8 days again after the big bleed. I'm sick of being told that "everything is fine" "normal to bleed" when it's a lie. I'm in the whatever mood now and can't be positive anymore. My midwife well she may aswell not exist because I've never spoken to her and can never get through to her. I mean just over 12 weeks pregnant and still wearing pads, constantly waiting to have cramps and more blood it's mentally draining and I'll never be excited just done.

Snoopy28x · 08/11/2021 18:50

@charlotte0808 oh I'm so sorry your going through this worry! Try and stay positive. A friend of mine spotted/bled the whole time she was pregnant so it can happen. Although I know how scary that must be! I'm glad you have a scan tomorrow hopefully they can give you more answers. The being in limbo is awful xxx

Snoopy28x · 08/11/2021 18:52

@LFmumof4 welcome! Congratulations on your surprise baby! I'm on surprise baby #3. So with you on the shock factor lol yes I felt very nauseous this time round, never had that with the others. I found ready salted pringles to be a lifesaver! Anything else made me feel more queasy. It subsided about 10 weeks. To give you a bit of hope!! Make sure you drink loads that can help the headaches xx

Snoopy28x · 08/11/2021 18:58

@blondiebrownie6 I am no good at the nub thing! We never found out with the previous 2 was a nice surprise, but I did predict right both times! So I'll see if I can get a hat trick lol x

LFmumof4 · 08/11/2021 19:34

Thankyou @Snoopy28x I have currently got sickness bands on each wrist. I bloody hope they help. Not really that sly though! yes. Pringles sounds good. I have craved crisps. It’s the constant headaches that’s making me feel awful. I just want to hide all day. How far along are you! Are you going to find out the sex? I haven’t with any of mine and want with this one. Secretly would love a girl. I have BGBB. X

Snoopy28x · 08/11/2021 19:54

@LFmumof4 I'm 12 +4 I have my scan on weds. Feeling nervous! How is it with 3 kids??? Will I completely loose my mind? 😂🤣

We wont find out again, it's a nice surprise. Everyone hates that we don't find out but it's a tradition now! I've got dd4 and ds2. Dd was such an easy baby dh is convinced this is a girl. Ds had awful colic, allergies and reflux. Was a rough road. It's hard to tell yet what it is.

Yes I bet the headaches are awful. Is it like a tension headache? You could try stuff called 4head. It's like a menthol balm you put on your head it's amazing for headaches! Works way better than paracetamol for me xx

LFmumof4 · 09/11/2021 08:42

@Snoopy28x I have 4 already and the eldest has special needs so 3 will be a breeZe don’t worry. Everyone will think I’m mad having another but hey ho. You just adapt don’t you. Good shout with 5head. Hasn’t thought of that. Paracetamol isn’t cutting it. I’ve got sickness bands on each wrist 😷. Never felt so sick before. When’s your due date? Just can’t wait for this trimester to be over. Not finding out is hard but worth it when your in labour! It’s so hard people not knowing when I have to cancel plans cuz I feel like death. Today is my day off and housework day. Feel like crawling back into bed. I’m rubbish the the abbreviations. What does DS etc stand for? Not really down with the words on here 🤔. X

LFmumof4 · 09/11/2021 08:44

@Snoopy28x sack tomorrow. How exciting. Can’t wait for mine. Not until 22/12. X

Snoopy28x · 09/11/2021 12:24

@LFmumof4 ok you make me feel better lol I know it will take some adjustment but as you say you just cope! The closer the scan time comes the more nervous I feel! It's like 24 hours from now! 😳 19th May is my estimated due date so far.

I had long night. My little man decided 5am was a good time to wake up and keep poking me, elbowing me, stealing my pillow, shouting at me for laying on HIS pillow then poking me in the eye. He was at pre school this morning so hes chilled out a bit now.

Ds - son dd- daughter. So I have a daughter who is 4 going on 24 and son who is 2. How old are yours? Hows the sickness did the bands help? X

Snoopy28x · 09/11/2021 12:25

@charlotte0808 how are you doing today? How did the scan go? I hope you got some answers xx
