Well, aren't we a chatty lot?

@beansprout55 Yes, still had pink spotting after my last scan. Maybe it really has to do with the pessaries, especially if you and @Prema112 are taking them too.

@EarlGreywithLemon Dresses are great as well. I will probably order some after my next scan. I usually buy tights one or two sizes up, cause I find it more comfortable. Maybe try that. Calzedonia have good ones.

@PeeAche Hope you feel better soon.

Well, I thought that 3 weeks ago so I stopped using them vaginally and started using them, the other way 🙄 - didn't make a difference to my bleeding though! Especially now it's started again!x - unless there's another link to them causing bleeding other than irritating the cervix?

@Annabell1@Prema112

I’ve got bad indigestion which is making me feel unwell after eating 😬 13+1. Hoping things get better soon.

@beansprout55 That's a good point. Well, I'm not exactly sure how they affect the whole area down there.
But it's also possible that there is still a tiny haematoma, which is just too difficult to see on a scan.
Hopefully things will get better as we go. Xx

@CurryandSnuggle Happy second trimester for yesterday!!

@beansprout55 Yeah I ended up doing them the other way too and I still bled for a week, I wonder whether just fluctuating hormones is to blame. I've finished progesterone now so will be interesting to see if I have any more

Did anyone else get tricked into thinking their nausea was getting better and then suddenly get hit twice as hard? I'm supposed to be going to a friend's for dinner today and I just don't know if I can stomach it. Fed up of feeling like this now

@Annabell1 @beansprout55 @Prema112 I’m not on progesterone pessaries though so no explanation for mine. Some women are just “bleedy” for no reason I think.

Thanks Prema, I’d like to say that second trimester is treating me well but I’m still a bloated, burpy, nauseous mess 😂

@Turniptracker yup, that’s me. No nausea for / weeks then bam. I’m pretty sure mine is indigestion as it happens after every meal for about 2 hours and I’m super burpy and gurgly. It’s unpleasant. Fingers crossed this too shall pass!!

Also @Prema112 how are you feeling? Hopefully still ok? Glad you’ve not been badly hit with the covid this time xx

@Turniptracker yup!! This weekend it's crept back in. I thought I had it all under control - eat little and often, nothing too rich. I feel asleep yesterday afternoon watching a film by the fire, missed "snack time" and I'm feeling nauseous and gagging since! Feeding the dog this morning was just too much 🤢

@Turniptracker Yes!! It's seems to be getting better again but I'm wary...

@CurryandSnuggle Yesterday I had a moment where I wasn't feeling sick, didn't have cramps, wasn't bleeding and didn't have a headache and I thought 'Wow this is what it's like to feel normal!!' Only lasted about half an hour of course. I'm doing ok but I've had bad headaches the last 2 days

Congrats @curruyandsnuggle and anyone else who has made it to trimester 2!

Still bleeding here, too, although anti nausea meds are finally kicking in which I'm very very glad of.

Hey @InvisibleDragon I'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling good at the moment.

I think there are a few things to unpick here... firstly on the physical side - I go through cycles with my boobs too. Try draping them with very cold flannels before bed. It's a bit weird but it really takes the edge off for a little while and it might help you get to sleep.

Re: your fight with your DH - I hope you feel safe at home and not unduly / overly criticised. I think men on Mumsnet get a bad rep but also I wouldn't want you to feel like you can't talk about it here. It is normal to fight - even over your own "behaviours" - I hope the fights are normal and you don't feel that he's trying to control how you behave.

My DH and I have fought this weekend too. He's made me so angry I could scream. We made up but I'm still seething under the surface so I know we'll end up fighting again. I feel so childish holding onto this "unfinished business" but sometimes, the steam just has to escape....

Why are you such a procrastinator, Dragon? Does the anxiety come from the thought of making the call or does it build up afterwards, when you haven't done it and know you should have done?

12+3 and I've hit the emotional stage. I do have a lot of stress on though so hard to tell if it's a normal reaction or not!

I'm 13+2 today. Finally started feeling better a couple of days ago, so 🤞🏻 there's hope for everyone else! I'm so glad because we flew to fuerteventura early yesterday, don't think I would've handled the flight well if I was feeling nauseous! I'm panicking a bit about the new covid rules for re entering the UK though 😬

In other news, I'm 99% sure I'm actually pregnant with an elephant

@Brightsmoke wow that’s a sizeable bump! 🙂 very exciting 😁

That was supposed to be a smiley:

Has anyone had the conversation re booster jabs with their GP? I want to get it (I want ALL the vaccines ) but I don't know whether it's considered safe in pregnancy and at what stage of pregnancy. Any thoughts?

@GabsK92 I had my booster last Tuesday (13 weeks). I told them I was pregnant and they said it was fine. No side effects, except a sore arm the day after

I’m not eligible yet for the booster, pregnant women can only have it if they’re on the eligible list.

I reckon it’s only a matter of time though that the list gets extended to everyone!

@Pandamama88 oh great, I shall eagerly await my call then!

@GabsK92 If it has been 180 days since your last vaccine you can organise it yourself. Some pharmacies and vaccination centres do them. We went to one a few miles away. Just do a Google, as long as enough time has elapsed since your last dose you should be able to just book it.

They were very clear at my booking appt that they advised all pregnant women to get the booster, so I'll be jumping for it the minute I'm eligible.

Mine is booked for a couple weeks time - a friend of mine was refused it before 12 weeks but I haven't heard anything about that.
I booked mine for after 12 weeks just in case that was still the information at my local vaccine centre.

I'm having my booster on Wednesday! I have been offered it for a few months but was reluctant to seeing as I was starting my first round of letrozole and was worried it would interfere. And then when I got my BFP I was certain I wouldn't for the first trimester, but now with cases on the rise and this new variant I thought I better book it ASAP. I'm so anxious though, especially with all this bleeding already. I know the latest studies suggest the vaccines have had no effect on babies born to vaccinated mothers, so going with that!x

Anyone got any cramping at 11 weeks? I’ve had a bit of cramping this afternoon, I’m 11 weeks 4 days and thought my cramping days were over 😫. No bleeding or anything just seems a bit of light cramping, hoping it’s just everything stretching and nothing bad xxx
