@Charlotte1256 Same! 7w2, not at work due to nausea, suddenly got me at the weekend.

It’s been a bit better today though as I’ve been eating something small every 20 mins (boring, but it seems to hold off the nausea etc). Grapes, strawberries and wotsits are life at the moment!

MamaSJ15 · 30/11/2022 12:52

I feel very worn out today, I'm shattered! And I started feeling off. My noodles lunch has not been finished, I thought eating would make me feel better but so far it hasn't. Might go for a little walk on my lunch break to get some fresh air. How's everyone feeling today?

leanneb94 · 30/11/2022 13:21

@MamaSJ15 Awwh thats awful you're not feeling good today, I've found eating small and often has been helping me as well as oranges for some reason.

Today is the first day in two weeks I feel relatively okay. Have managed to eat more than I have in a while so taking it as a good day! Only thing is the tiredness but will be having a quick nap when I'm home from work for sure

s14a · 30/11/2022 13:21

@MamaSJ15 I'm absolutely exhausted too. My nausea is making me not want to eat at all either.

I've got a scan at half 3 and I'm just praying go or a heartbeat. I'm between 6+1 and 6+6 dependingon ovulation date

99pctpractice · 30/11/2022 13:25

I'm also 7w2d! Just had my "discharge" scan from my ivf clinic and measuring 7w3d...such a relief - still a long way to go, but good to know everything is on track now! A colleague at work told me she is 10 weeks pregnant yesterday so I was dreading today in case it was bad news - fingers crossed it works out for both of us 🤞

You poor thing <hugs> I hope fresh air will help. I had really bad 2 days recently, but (touch wood) today isn't so bad. Let's not jinx it, who knows what sort of shit might happen tomorrow 🤐I am snacking on ginger biscuits, and sipping ginger and lemon tea (I could never understand who on Earth buys it, but now I know- pregnant ladies do 😂). Hopefully I can start cleaning house today, because it's a right tip. I don't want to throw too much on DH, he's busy enough with work&studying that I feel guilty when I ask him to do the dishes.

candycrush789 · 30/11/2022 16:34

@s14a how did your scan go lovely?

@MamaSJ15 I'm sorry your not feeling well today I hope you feel better soon x

candycrush789 · 30/11/2022 16:34

I'm not sure why that big space happened 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

MamaSJ15 · 30/11/2022 16:38

@leanneb94 thank you, I feel like I'm constantly eating but it just randomly hit me before lunch, felt a bit crap but the fresh air did help, been okay again this afternoon. Oh I would love to have a nap but I don't think my DD would appreciate it 😂

@s14a how has the scan gone?

@99pctpractice that's great news!! Bet you're thrilled 😊

@xogossipgirlxo thank you, I'm feeling better this afternoon, eaten quavers haha. I think my DH bought me ginger tea last time but I couldn't stand it 😂 really don't like ginger.

I am dealing with quite bad bloating which is actually making me look pregnant 🙈 I usually take Rennie's deflatine because I know they're good for pregnancy but everywhere is sold out!! I've got my whole family checking when they go to shops but they're all telling me they're sold out everywhere!

MamaSJ15 · 30/11/2022 16:39

@candycrush789 haha thank you, feeling better this afternoon thankfully. How are you doing today?

s14a · 30/11/2022 16:41

All OK.

My dates are very out. They put me at 5+3 (I thought I should be between 6+1 and 6+5) by ovulation. But from being 5+3 that means I'd have found out at 5dpo which isn't possible.

But they saw a heartbeat so I'm not too worried!

I do have a haemorrhage though which was a bit of a surprise. They said it's not likely to cause me any problems as should be reabsorbed but I might get some spotting.

I'm booking another scan for the 17th/18th December to be doubly sure before telling everyone at christmas

candycrush789 · 30/11/2022 16:52

@MamaSJ15 im alright thank you, I've had a dodgy belly since last night so not sure what's wrong can't eat without anything going through me 😔😔

@s14a that's good I'm very pleased for you. I got put back with all of mine and then put forward at the 12 week scan, try not to worry too much it's only a rough estimate and at this stages there still so teeny tiny. I had a hemorrhage with my 1st and by the 20 week scan it had all cleared up, really happy for you with good news 😁

MamaSJ15 · 30/11/2022 19:29

@s14a that's lovely news. Was it a private scan?

@candycrush789 ah that's a bit crap isn't it. I find that my bowels are a bit all over the place, but I do suffer with mild ibs anyway. Are you working at the moment or off?

LiquidGlee · 30/11/2022 20:19

Hi Everyone. I’m tagging on. Had a shock BFP yesterday, making me 5+6 if my calculations are correct. It’s my first and me and DH only decided to venture into TTC 2 months ago. Am feeling very shocked, overwhelmed and totally clueless! No symptoms at all so far, just a late period! Am pleased I’ve found this thread for support :)

xogossipgirlxo · 29/11/2022 16:04

Did your GP surgery ring you to book the appointment? I just got a text from mine, that my appointment is on XXX at XXX, and I'm wondering if this is mistake, or they just do it like this 😂I will ring them to confirm, but just wondering.

I had my first midwife appointment this week (she says I’m around 9 weeks). She booked my scan and it’s right before Christmas Eve :)

candycrush789 · 30/11/2022 20:32

@MamaSJ15 no I've been at work today which doesn't help 🤦🏻‍♀️ its not too bad though probably cos I haven't eaten anything 😅 also I don't know why it keeps going bold stupid thing!

Pink Pamplemousse · 30/11/2022 21:46

Has anyone else had an upset tummy?

I had constipation last week and the last two days have had diarrhoea on and off, the joys! 5+5 currently xx

candycrush789 · 30/11/2022 21:53

@Pink Pamplemousse

Yes all day everyday for the past 2 days 😫😫 I've also had diarrhoea aswell and bad bowel cramps. I have IBS so I wonder if this plays a part in it who knows! Just bloody painful! The joys of pregnancy lol x

Ahh I've been so paranoid about it, don't remember having it at all with my daughter (4) or previous pregnancy (MMC). Was kindly woken up at 4.30am with another bout!! Sorry tmi Confused

Rutennotou · 01/12/2022 07:18

Morning ladies!

I had the worst day of morning sickness yesterday, was relentless for hours. Started getting a sore throat last night and gave up trying to sleep at 4:30am due to a blocked nose and headache on top. 19mo DD woke up 3 times as well and has been up since 6am. So I guess she is under the weather as well. She usually sleeps until 9am so this is a travesty 😂

heartbroken22 · 01/12/2022 09:54

@Rutennotou aww I hope you feel better soon. My 1 year old was awake last night too with a cold. I know it's hard. Honestly sometimes I just don't know how we do it.

Aww, that's great, are you planning to tell your family at Christmas? 😊I have my first visit on 14th of December.

Your midwife will probably book your scan whilst you’re at the appointment. Exciting! I’m not sure when to tell my parents. I’m a bit nervous to tell them because they (and I) thought I was infertile because of what the doctors said. I’ve also recently started my job so I’m worried about telling them too even though it seems like a supportive organisation! I’m in my mid 20s but feel so unprepared (but still excited)!

MamaSJ15 · 01/12/2022 12:43

@Rutennotou @heartbroken22 my DD too, she started with a cough then had the flu spray vaccine on Tuesday and has been a mess ever since! Poor thing! My problem was trying to wake her up for school this morning 🙈

My booking appointment is on Monday 12th but it's a telephone appt. Bit put out by that to be honest, it's not as personal as it used to be. And private scan Sunday, thinking of taking DD with us so we can then explain to her about baby 😊

Rutennotou · 01/12/2022 15:15

@MamaSJ15 @heartbroken22 I hope your little ones are feeling better soon! She went back to bed at midday and has had 3 hours of broken sleep. Gonna wake her up soon with food and more medicine. I'm feeling worse as the day goes on, have a concert tomorrow night so I'm really hoping a good sleep tonight might fix me! 🙈
