Minsters Sidecar Bumping Along - ttc graduates thread 4

[lucyrp]

Hey girls! I've gone ahead and created a follow up thread for us all. Let's hope we have some more ladies joining us from over on the other thread! ❤️

@DKDK123 whatever it takes to get you through sending hugs

@Juno231 boom look at that! And nap time too it's there!

@DKDK123 we've got you ❤️ sending love

@Juno231 oooh yessss 🥳 lovely dye stealer! Me too was up at 6:30 and had to come back to bed for a rest 😆

@Juno231 that is a beautiful looking dye stealer!! Can I suggest twins back at you just incase 🥺🤞🏻🌈😘

I'm the same @DKDK123 I've been following but not posting. Partly because I've been busy and partly because I mentally need time out. But I keep checking in that everyone is OK!
@Juno231 Hilarious about the waitress though. Jeez. 🙄 And good dye stealer!

Hello everyone didn't really want to join you on here because I sort of feel that doing anything to make it 'real' will jinx it but equally know that the question I posted last night on the TTC bus was insensitive so I better just slide on over here.

Head very much in sand, trying to just focus on 6weeks as the first milestone!

@Minster2012 oh god I can imagine thst being horrible!! Isn't it an awful feeling!!

@Juno231 ohh okay well that makes sense!! I won't be taking anymore tests though, need to lock away the frer and digi I have🤣 yessss look at that dye stealer!! Little bean is definitely getting snuggly!!

@Crazydoglady123 oh I know, I feel okay this morning, had a really good sleep, still a bit dizzy and got a little headache but otherwise feel okay! How're you??

@DKDK123 completely understandable!' We're here❤️

@larrythelizard heyyyy!

Just read back a bit as I'm still childfree and doing nothing (it's glorious!)

@Juno231 LOVE that dye stealer!

@Vil10 Edinburgh looks lovely!

I keep comparing every little thing to the previous 3 BFPs I've had (1 DS) and also then wondering if I'm imagining the nausea, I asked DH earlier if he could make himself feel sick if he thought about it hard enough, he was slightly annoyed I asked him in the middle of breakfast 🤣. My logical brain knows that every pregnancy is different but it's hard to remember!

Lovely dye stealer @Juno231 !

Welcome @larrythelizard 😊

Feeling a bit anxious here, had some fresh blood (like a dribble) after having a poo this am. 😬 Ran EPU, they said just to monitor and ring back if continues. Have got a private scan tomorrow. Poor OH is trying to be nice but there's nothing he can say to make me feel better, and we were planning on a fun afternoon so I'm just going to try and ignore it, 'n' hope for the best.

Constipation is back with vengeance!!!

I couldn't find my new bottle of lactulose and actually cried - spent 20 minute on the loo this morning for a painful nugget! And cried... then found my bottle of lactulose, and you guessed it - I cried...

Today is a painful hormonal day! Just sitting hurts due to pressure. And there's so much trapped wind it's unreal - FML

I now have a box in the toilet for my feet to try and help as I heard that position eases it out - I'm desperate I will try anything!!!

I'm sorry I've been crap these last few days. Had bits going on so not found the time to post but do try and read when I can. I'm glad everyone is ok on the whole 😘
I'm 29+5 today and had what I think is braxton hicks today and yesterday. Very odd feeling as with it being my first pregnancy I didn't realise you got it around now. I always thought it was closer to your due date but my mates told me yesterday it's around now. Constantly learning everyday! Have Antenatel classes next week, thank god too as I'm clearly clueless on a lot of things! 🤦🏾‍♀️

I am so sorry I am AWOL!

LO is very poorly. Had a temp of 38.9 - 41.2 over night. Resp rate of 74. Coughing - PCR's here we come...

OH is a 👮‍♂️ and was crewed with a covid + case on Thursday.

Zero sleep.

Also have acquired a large bleeding cyst which is causing a rather large amount of pain.

Zero sleep. Pain. Poorly LO & pregnancy doesn't mate a fun human.

Hey @larrythelizard 👋 I don't think you can make yourself feel sick if you think about it hard enough 😆

@feliznavidad2 could it have been from the other end if after 💩? Good you have the scan booked for tomorrow!

@clolo glad all was good yesterday 🥰😊

@SWAttempting sorry to hear about DS, fingers crossed for negative results!

Just got back from beauty and the beast at the theatre. Lasted 15 mins before we had to leave as DD was hysterical 😩 £70 on a family day out and have only come away with a Gregg's sausage roll to show for it 🤦🏼‍♀️

@larrythelizard it was so nice Thankyou!! Hahaha that's hilarious you asking DH🤣 I know what you mean though, I thought I was imagining it last night and thought maybe I'm retching because I'm imagining I feel sick, but my head is dizzy and got a headache again today and felt sick making OH's breakfast!

@feliznavidad2 I second @bez91 and thinking could it be from constipation? Glad you have the scan booked though lovely x

@Lexber sorry you have so much pressure and trapped wind!! I was the same in the night, so much trapped wind but I had orange juice with my breakfast and had another glass earlier and i don't seem constipated today, 🤞🏼 it lasts and rubs off on you!!

@becarefuloutthere wow it's going so quickly!! I'm the same as you, I thought I knew quite a lot with having lots of friends having babies etc but I feel like I'm bloody clueless!! Hope the classes are good and offer some useful info!!

@SWAttempting oh doesn't sound like you're having a good time of it!! Really hope you're okay with the cyst and LO is negative!!

@bez91 awww!! Was it the beast? Was he scary?? Tell you what though, love a good greggs sausage roll!!

So I'm weak, I was rooting in the drawer for some ribbon for wrapping presents and I grabbed the weeks digi, OH was saying "I reckon we just do it, I haven't been there for any of the tests you've taken and want to for at least the last one", so I collected my piss in the lucky pot and used a cheapie first, I said if the cheapie was lighter I wasn't using the digi, but it wasn't it was strong, so OH suggested "we might as well use that pink one too, use them up" 🤣 so used the frer and got another dye stealer and then got my 3+ on my digi!! My idea of staying strong and not using them lasted 1 day, but it was OH's fault🤣 he definitely has a lot of trust in this little cashew and now I do too🥺

@vil10 aw yay for the 3+!!! I'm glad you got it!

@kaylsd haha no way on twins - you do realise yours was that strong a week ago already? 😁

@bez91 oh noooo, what made her that upset?? I'm sorry, what a waste of money!

@becarefuloutthere good to know, I had no idea Braxton Hicks would start so early!

@SWAttempting holy moly poor DS! Hope you're all okay and recover quickly. What's gonna happen with the cyst?

@clolo I'm glad all went well yesterday, no wonder you had a bit of a panic - @feliznavidad2 fingers crossed it's nothing for you either!

@Lexber squatty potties are meant to be good! Has the lactulose kicked in yet?

@clolo so glad all was fine!! I definitely would've done the same thing!! My OH also thinks it's crazy how many tests I've taken and in the first week actually kept making jokes about it🤣 I said to him I was actually quite glad how blind he was to what can happen in the early weeks of pregnancy, but I did agree that the box of piss takes I am collecting is getting ridiculous, I'm done now though🤣

@Juno231 are you going to do one to get a 3+ or leave it? Like I was supposed to🙄

Yessssss @Vil10 that's it now you can stop 😊 I do like a Gregg's sausage roll, £70 a bit steep though 😆

@Juno231 it was the enchantress who did the spell on the beast at the beginning. Doesn't feature in the Disney film but she basically narrated the panto show 🤦🏼‍♀️ bit annoying as it didn't have an age warning with it but there were a few kids who left bawling 😩

@Vil10 yay for your 3+ how far are you officially for this moment hehe? At least you've got no more to tinkle on and you've got what you wanted to see 🥺😘🙈
@Juno231 you never know sweet! My boobs are horrendous at the moment like someone's dragging them to the ground... must invest in softer bras! Im gonna sway away from testing incase of hook effect things although it's very hard to stop as I've got so many left to use in the draws 🤣

@kaylsd you're too early for hook effect no? I gave in and ordered soft bras a week ago already 🤣

@vil10 I'm planning on doing another digi this week for the 3+. I want to do it on Tuesday but have a feeling I'm best off waiting until Wednesday.

@clolo I saw you went public on insta with the pregnancy yday or did you have a reveal earlier than that? Did lots of people comment?

Poor you @Lexber sending difficulty pooping solidarity 👊

Oh no @bez91 - do love a Gregg's sausage roll though 🤷‍♀️ albeit that is a very expensive one. How old is your DD?

@Vil10 It's definitely from the err vagine end unfortunately. EPU said I had cervical erosion before when examined when I spotted at about 5 weeks so hoping it's just that. They said it means you bleed really easily as the cervix itself has cells on the outside which are liable to bleed/get irritated. 🤔

I'll update you post scan tomorrow ladies. Excited for a roast this eve, so hungry at the moment.

@larrythelizard head in the sand is a good place to be 😚we are here for you

@Vil10 well that didn't take long 🤪not even the will power to last before I'd had a chance to reply! but fantastic stuff that's great news 🤩🥳congratulations

@feliznavidad2 sending big hugs, hope the roast was good & massive luck tomorrow

@Lexber oh darling the 💩 crap is real. Is it a box to pull your knees up? Apparently that helps?

@becarefuloutthere I will be like you, no idea despite another child 🤪. Did you know you don't put them in the bath for 10 days? I was like 🤯

@SWAttempting oh goodness that sounds awful, hope LO gets better & you don't get it. I had a cyst & it wasn't funny. Huge hugs

@clolo loved your little Insta oh hey yep we're having a baby, lovely and pleased you got lots of love

@bez91 toddlers are twats. Fact. However my DS also gets upset at the beast

Just been to village Christmas party I helped to organise. My friend went "bloody hell your BOOBS ARE HUGE" just as a lull in the massively loud music came in. Queue the ppl styling staring at me (& no low cut top don't worry!) great stuff 🙈

@Juno231 I caved this morning and got my 3+ I have officially no more digitals in the house now so although I keep saying I won't test I bloody won't test 🤣🤣🤣😬 where's best place to buy soft bras? I was going to raid primark this weekend coming 🤔
@vil10 the pee on a stick addiction is so hard to break 🥺
@feliznavidad2 good luck with your scan today sweetheart 🤞🏻🌈🥺
@minster2012 friends are fabulous for being your number one fan for areas like that, you go girl 🤣🤣🤣🤔

Anyone having strange dreams at the moment, is this a thing? I had a dream that Ed sheeran fell in love with me and dumped his wife cherry and made me sing a song with him and biffy clyro 😳🙃

@feliznavidad2 she's 4 so kinda escapes toddler territory @Minster2012 😆 hope you enjoyed your roast and hope everything goes well for you today 😊

Wahoo to big boobs @Minster2012 my boobs are the same size but areolas massive 🤦🏼‍♀️

@kaylsd I got a 3 pack of underwired ones from matalan for pretty cheap and they're so comfy! Oh yes on the dreams, they've subsided now but the first 12 weeks they were as bizarre as yours.

Been up most of the night trying to talk DH down. He's had this lump on his neck for 3 years which is growing and it's been diagnosed on 2 separate occasions as an inflamed lymph node and also as a lipoma, the latest scan was inconclusive so they referred for an urgent biopsy before Christmas a few days ago. His mind has run away with him, thinks it's cancer and that he's going to die, leave me with a child and pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm sure it'll be fine but god I wish it was over with, we're a very gloomy house right now 🙈
