@Buchananbaby oooh that's exactly what I wanted the other day! I ordered myself a pizza as my husband was out for dinner and wanted BBQ and was really disappointed that they didn't have BBQ bases 😩 you're wise to eat it all now though, I didn't want it the next day!!

embob993 · 14/04/2022 18:05

Hi ladies! I am soooooo exhausted today 😴😴 sick of being tired! God forbid the sleepless nights to come 🤣

I am obsessed with my nipples. Theyre sooo big and bumpy and im sure my boobs are filling out a teeny bit! This is my favourite symptom 🤭

BuchananBaby · 14/04/2022 18:16

@lovesT that's a shame you didn't want it the next day I'm just going with it I hardly ate for 2 days because of the aversions but still avoiding 'wet' food 🤢

@embob993 totally get you I have pepperoni nips when I'm pregnant 😂

LolaJ87 · 14/04/2022 18:31

I’m finding it hard to plan meals at the moment, by the time dinner or something comes around I have gone off what I planned and want something else. I wish my husband got home from work a bit earlier too, I feel like an earlier dinner would help. I start to feel groggy and a bit crap later in the evenings!

LolaJ87 · 14/04/2022 18:32

Sorry that sounded really moany! Just especially tired today and gone right off what I have cooking for dinner! Hope everyone is having a lovely evening.

BuchananBaby · 14/04/2022 18:36

@LolaJ87 doesn't sound moany at all if you can't moan to us who can you moan to really 😂? I can't imagine having to cook dinner while pregnant luckily DP cooks and I clean. Can you make dinner earlier and stick it in the oven for him coming home? Makes your life a bit easier or use the slow cooker and just take your portion and your husband can grab his when he gets in?

HayleyBean · 14/04/2022 18:55

I'm also obsessed with my boobs/nipples too 😂 my boobs have definitely gotten bigger and so have my nipples. The exhaustion has been real this week. I've been asleep most nights between 8-9pm and then back up at 5am! Total killer!

Nejnej · 14/04/2022 18:58

@embob993 @BuchananBaby @HayleyBean

Same here! My nipples are like little wotsits, 😂 not sure my boobs themselves are any bigger

Nutella99 · 14/04/2022 18:59

Hi all. My food choices have not been the healthiest lately but it's hard to find things I actually want to eat. I get what you mean @LolaJ87, it is hard to plan meals in advance as I don't know how I'll feel when it actually comes to cook/eat.

I'm still having horrible cramps. They come and go all day and paracetamol does nothing to touch it. I know lots of people get cramps but is this really normal to be so painful? It's so much worse than any period cramps I've had. I've thought about contacting the GP or local pregnancy unit, but I don't have any bleeding so from what I can see online they wouldn't scan me or anything.

Saza185 · 14/04/2022 19:50

Anyone with no major symptoms yet feel like ba bit of a fraud? My boobs are sore, and I'm really tired, but I just feel like it's not real yet🙈
I'm going for an early scan on Tuesday, I'll be 6+3 and I'm really anxious about it!

MrsCrumbtious · 14/04/2022 19:56

@Saza185 yep hardly any symptoms here too. My boobs are huuuge but not that sore and didn’t have any cramping like I did with my DD (just assuming my uterus has been stretched already lol) it’s such a worry but just trying to stay positive

Tofu35 · 14/04/2022 20:04

@saza185 I was feeling really nauseous at the start of the week but had a zero symptom day today, keep telling myself that at 5+5 it's okay for symptoms to come and go. Unless having double portion at dinner is a symptom? Probably all the food chat in here 😂

Thanks @BuchananBaby @Nutella99
I’ve been working from home a lot so like sitting down and eating with my husband as a nice way to catch up but I’ll have a think about doing things differently if I’m not feeling better next week. I usually love cooking so this is all new to me!

I’m sure a lot of you can relate to how weird it is to just not really feel like yourself!

My boobs have been funny for nearly 2 weeks, had to buy some emergency seamless bras the weekend before last! Mine are about a half size bigger and my nipples are different too. I honestly never know it could happen so early on!

Blendedfamily7 · 14/04/2022 20:20

Hi all....I am 5+4 this one is a BIG surprise....my 'baby' is 14 this summer.....so still in shock really but we are pleased. Feeling very very sick 😫 which I'm sure didn't happen with my older boys hoping it's shortlived!

FlowerJ · 14/04/2022 20:24

@Mommabear20 Im super skinny so was worried about showing early (its baby number 3 for me) but so far I'm only really badly bloated in the evenings. Rest of the day I'm OK but by evening time I look about 20 weeks pregnant 😂

Meowcat89 · 14/04/2022 21:17

I've gone off chocolate 😭😭 it doesn't taste right haha. Nooo!!

Mommabear20 · 14/04/2022 21:31

@FlowerJ that's not too bad then! I'm just worried my mum will notice when we're swimming as she's got the biggest mouth in the family!!!
I did buy a maternity swimsuit today though so I've got that ready to go as soon as I need it! 😂

Sdoubleyou · 14/04/2022 22:07

@Meowcat89, I understand!! It's been giving me terrible heartburn, and I never get heartburn normally. My DP is very happy to eat all the chocolate himself 😂.

Jj19 · 14/04/2022 22:21

Hi lovely people. I’ve just had my BFP yesterday at about 10dpo. I always get slightly confused by due dates as my cycles are very irregular and I ovulate late (CD22 this time) but I think we are due on 24th December! Baby number for 2 for us. Hope everyone else is feeling ok! I’m getting nervous for the symptoms that week 6 tends to bring for me.

Has anyone started a Facebook group yet?

Blendedfamily7 · 14/04/2022 22:46

Jj19 - congratulations! This pregnancy is appearing totally different to my others so far, I've been so sick and bloated, it's rubbish! Are you feeling okay so far?

Jj19 · 14/04/2022 23:10

Thank you! Yes it’s still very early days for me but I’ve got my typical symptom which has been my tell tale sign every time - constipation 😂🥴 I’m also ridiculously bloated. So worried I’m going to show quickly this time!
Hopefully your sickness doesn’t last too long!

CP22 · 14/04/2022 23:19

Hi all,

Have been lurking for a few days before joining in! I had a BFP 10 days ago, first baby and very anxious/excited/wishing the days away so I can have my first scan! I think my due date is around 15th Dec but not entirely sure.

Look forward to hopefully sharing this journey with you all Smile

Noodle87 · 14/04/2022 23:23

Same, and just before Easter too....I keep really wanting some, but then it tastes a bit like soap 😥
Blendedfamily7 · 14/04/2022 23:40

Yeah what is that with the bloating?!?! I am so windy and it hurts 😫 never had that before!!

Blendedfamily7 · 14/04/2022 23:42

Congratulations! I am due 11/12 so only a few days ahead! I'm really nervous too even though this is baby number 3....its been almost 15 years since I was last expecting. Also wishing days away so I can see little bean is okay x
