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

Oh @Snoopy28x what a rough time for you 😩😩 how did DS get on last night ? Omg men are just the worst when they have the cold, you’d think the world was ending! Not what you need just now! So many nasty bugs just now, hope the cough and general rough was eases soon, and the fact we can’t take much doesn’t help!

@AR21 totally lol! A lifetime of worry ahead of us I think 🤣 I can only but imagine it gets worse , I was thinking last night about weening and eventually moving to foods and what if something bad happens 🙈🙈 honestly , I don’t think we’ll ever be free from here on in! Glad your midwife has said ok all you can do is keep an eye and see how things go. Easier said than done I know!

@LadyoftheWoods that’s good you managed to avoid it if it was in your household! I’m
Hoping he was far enough away not to have caught it but it was indoors so who knows. We’ll both do a PCR to see what’s what. I’m seriously debating the vaccine , I just feel so torn either way! Meh! X

@Blondiebrownie6 well ds slept 6.30pm to 1.30am called out for me so went and snuggled him back up and sat there a minute. He fell asleep so snuck back to bed, he cried again. So went back in and gave him 1 of my tops I'd been wearing, told him time to go to sleep and he said ok and slept until dd woke him up just after 7am! I call that a win. So hes in there again tonight!! I slept awful. My nose was so blocked I couldn't breathe when I laid down and then had such bad sinus pressure 5thought my eyes were gonna pop out lol still not feeling great today. Honey and lemon isnt cutting it! X

LadyoftheWoods · 22/11/2021 16:22

@Blondiebrownie6 I'm double jabbed and I do feel safer out and about. It didn't really occur to me to not get it tbh, I weighed up known risks of covid v potential unknown risks of the vaccine. Plus there's plenty of babies who have been born after mums were jabbed, but it's such a personal decision, absolutely no judgement either way from me!!

I've got my scan on Thursday, so excited!! And nervous!

Are you all feeling any better @Snoopy28x? It's a rubbish time of year for bugs and there's some nasty ones going around at the moment!

Snoopy28x · 22/11/2021 16:38

@LadyoftheWoods still feeling awful 😔 I'm on day 5 and thought yesterday was the worst day.. then today I feel worse! It's a horrible bug. The kids have had it 10 or 11 days now and just about over it, still got the coughs. Xx

AppleT · 22/11/2021 16:56

Congrats! Smile

LadyoftheWoods · 22/11/2021 17:48

@Snoopy28x oh gosh! That's really unfair! I really hope you all feel better soon. I've managed to avoid bugs so far but I'm not sleeping well and I'm super tired so I'm hoping that continues! I can't imagine feeling like this and also being unwell! Enjoy your binge watching! I remember once when DS had a tummy bug and was really ill the doctor actually prescribed chain watching Disney films!

Blondiebrownie6 · 22/11/2021 19:42

Well here that’s some result then @Snoopy28x although you were still up but here’s hoping tonight is a better one! Meh I always find Lemon honey is ok but never quite the real thing we need lol. I hate a blocked nose too 😩

@LadyoftheWoods that’s exciting for you’re scan but oh my you must be feeling there nerves! Such an anxious time waiting for that scan! Thursday will be here soon enough 🥰 oh totally that’s ok, I’m not anti vax I just had my worries due to MC before and already long delayed cycles blan blah then falling pregnant worried something would happen ….I am more swayed to get it recently. I just worry for the baby/pregnancy but it’s the same if I don’t get it, risks of course with that to. I’m gonna chat with my midwife at next appt xx

babyboybluex · 24/11/2021 15:33

We had a scan today for some reassurance. Baby is active and happy - saw the hands and feet 🥺 Measuring 4 days ahead so growth is no issue. The Sonographer said my Hematoma is no longer as big and it’s turning grey meaning there is no active blood present (resolving Hematoma)! It’s a relief and I would pay all the money in the world for that ❤️

@babyboybluex amazing! So pleased for you xx

Blondiebrownie6 · 24/11/2021 20:21

Oh how wonderful @babyboybluex so pleased to hear all is ok 🥰 lovely picture to! I’ve ended up booking another scan for Saturday morning, my anxiety got the better of me today lol! I just don’t feel pregnant and it’s on my mind constantly so I thought sod it and I booked!

Best of luck at your scan tomorrow @LadyoftheWoods

Hope everyone is well xx

babyboybluex · 25/11/2021 09:53

Thank you so much @charlotte0808 x

I know it's a huge relief @Blondiebrownie6! You just need that reassurance kick at times don't you. What time is your scan? It will be lovely seeing baby again Flowers xx

Blondiebrownie6 · 26/11/2021 12:22

It’s tomorrow morning @babyboybluex god I feel nervous 😩 I don’t think I’m gonna relax at all! The thoughts that go through my mind are not good! I can’t afford to keep getting them every 2 wks from 20wks to 40wks lol so I’m going to need to get a grip! How are you feeling in general? I feel quite normal (which is part of the issue) apart from
Itchy boobs and nipples lol! Have you felt any more movement at all? Xx

babyboybluex · 26/11/2021 12:27

@Blondiebrownie6 You are going to be absolutely fine lovely. The nerves will always be there but they are good nerves Smile Keep us posted!

At least once you've had this scan you've got your 20 week scan after! I find after that you truly relax as you start to feel movement etc.

My boobs are itchy as well and massive, especially my nipples haha. I've had more flutters but no movement yet! From the private scan, baby is measuring ahead so I may start to feel things soon yay!!

Take it easy mama x

@babyboybluex aw it's so nice to have the reassurance!

We had our scan yesterday, all is well! Measuring 12+2, just as I thought! I'm so excited now! Just waiting for a bump and some movements now 😊

Snoopy28x · 27/11/2021 09:23

Morning ladies! How are you all? I've not been about much still trying to shift these germs! It's gone from cold, to sinus infection, now today I've woken up with conjunctivitis 😩 feel like I'm falling apart!!! On a plus note ds sleeps for 12-13 hours a night now!! Its bliss lol

I cant get through to the drs, the queue is always huge. I have my 16 week midwife app on Tuesday do you think she could prescribe me something for the sinus infection?

I've been feeling a few more flutters the last few days which is lovely 🥰 my boobs are massive and nipples are getting big and still sensitive! I've got a little bump now!

Lovely scan pics to xx

Snoopy28x · 01/12/2021 13:38

Hey ladies! Hows everyone doing? Hopefully its quiet on here because everyone's happy life had my 16 week midwife check yesterday, shes booked in all my extra scans and consultant app. She said they dont listen to the heartbeat now so will have to wait until feb when I have my next apt.

Still got my sinus infection, finally managed to get hold of the drs so waiting for a call back today x

babyboybluex · 01/12/2021 13:58

Hey @Snoopy28x! Glad you're on the mend, although the sinus pain sucks!! I had this not long ago and it was a killer... I lived in the shower. Hope you get rid of it soon Flowers Exciting about the midwife and you'll be feeling organised having the scans in place. Have the flutters increased?

I've got my midwife appointment on the 7th of December and she said we would listen into baby so fingers crossed. I think every trust are doing things differently these days! We have booked a private scan for the 14th of December as we are doing a gender reveal on Christmas Eve, sooooo excited x

@LadyoftheWoods Lovely scan picture! Glad all went well Star x

Hello ladies , I totally missed the updates as we were away for a few nights and things with life/work just feel busy at the moment! But all good here, private scan sat morning was perfect , baby kicking away and pushing up on my stomach (although couldn’t feel it obvs) and heard the wee heartbeat 🥰 they were so active and saw them do a little yawn to.

Lovely scan pic @LadyoftheWoods hope you are doing ok.

@Snoopy28x rubbish you’ve still got sinus infection , at least you got a GP appt and not fobbed off! How are the kiddies now? My 16wk was over the phone for like 5 mins lol, don’t see her face to face until 22wk appt which is 7th Jan but that’s fine I just asked her not to weigh me as I can’t cope knowing my weight a week after Xmas 🤣 I’ve already put on nearly half a stone!

@babyboybluex I’m feeling more relaxed after the scan, she said another 2/3 wks before I start to feel anything probably so that’s good. By that point I’ll be in for another scan lol so not too long to worry! My OH so wanted to know at the scan we just had, was hard to not find out but will make it more special when when we announce with family! We’re going to do it Boxing Day 🥰 not long to go now eeekkk! Been having lots of cramps recently but keep telling myself it’s everything growing and stretching! Xx

babyboybluex · 06/12/2021 14:24

Hey ladies! Did everyone have a good weekend?

I'm so glad all was grand at your scan @Blondiebrownie6 Flowers I bet you are super excited to find out what you're having! I am really looking forward to Christmas Eve at our end! I'm 99% sure it's a boy and my partner thinks it's a girl... time will tell!

Midwife tomorrow so looking forward to hearing that heartbeat! xx

Hey girls just wanted a bit of advice. @babyboybluex congratulations I hope everything goes well for you. I’m in a similar situation, I haven’t had a period since 13th Oct but the clearblue digital on the 27th Nov said 1-2weeks and was only a faint line a few weeks ago, I did another last week and the line was a lot darker but it was the left line which I thought was strange as it’s normally the other line is it not? I’m hanging on to do another clearblue and hoping it says 3+ (is that the most they say?) I’ve been feeling a bit nauseous, really tired and a few pains like toothache. I did get to 7 weeks last year, the clearblue said 2-3 then 2 weeks later said the same so I’m a bit scared if that happens again.
The main thing is the doctors will put me at 8 weeks when really I feel like I’m only 4 weeks. If that’s the case I’ll always measure small surely?

babyboybluex · 14/12/2021 10:45

Private gender scan today, although will find out on Christmas Eve!

My Hematoma has completely gone, she couldn't see a thing. On cloud nine ☁️

Hope everyone is keeping well xx

@babyboybluex 😍😍 what are you having????

@charlotte0808 congratulations on your little girl. How exciting 😍 sorry to hear your still bleeding. So pleased all is still well!

How are you both feeling?

Pregnancy wise I am all good, bump growing everyday and feeling lots of little kicks now which I love. My sinus infection has turned into chest infection, so been feeling pretty rotten but finally on the mend now. My dd woke up with chicken pox today 🤨 xx
