Due October 2023 -Thread 2

[Needtobuildabridge]

Hi all,

We finished the last thread pretty quickly! Here's a new one 😊

@firstlittlefrazzleontheway
I also got an early scan booked for Monday when I'll also be 7 weeks :) I had planned to just wait until the 12 week one but I'm having to tell work much earlier than I expected so wanted to make sure everything looks all right before doing so. I have no problem telling my close family but the word is spreading outside that inner circle and I'm feeling a bit of a fraud, like what if nothing's there?! 😅

This week I've started having some slight nausea, now I can't have an empty stomach so trying to keep eating regularly. Boobs still sore but other than that not much to report.

I’m sitting up awake as I have crippling heartburn yet again 😩 I’ll be ringing the doctors first thing on Monday

@VictoriaBlossom Rushden Lakes is my local shopping place too and I did exactly the same as you there on Thursday! M&S has some lovely comfy bras, back section has lots of wireless and also post-surgery bras. It’s at the very back corner next to the kids’ stuff. 😊

@LaVitesse2022 how exciting what time is your scan? Mine isn't until 340pm so I think it's going to be a long day!

I'm also having to tell work quite early which is why I wanted to be sure things were okay

@overgrowngrass I never even gave M&S a thought. And I went in the food hall to buy chocolate hot cross buns as well.
Will you be going to nene park for your midwife meeting? Is this your first?

@VictoriaBlossom I bought a pack of 3 nursing/mastering bras on Amazon with my first pregnancy and they lasted me a year pp. Very comfy.

I got my 3+ on the CB this morning 😁 needed that after yesterday

@MeganC104 congratulations on your 3+ 😄 although last night I prodded my boob and it didn't feel sensitive. Freaked out inside a little but I know this happens with fluctuations of hormones 😂😂😂

Morning! 7.5 weeks here! I’ve mentioned it a few times before but is anyone getting not so nice very vivid dreams? I’ve had them from the start, they eased last few weeks but seem to of started again. I wake up so terrified and then they make me feel rubbish all day, i never got them with my daughter :-(

So got a 2-3 weeks on a CB this morning, I wasn't really sure it it was going to say that or 3+. Having not had a period since my January MC, I'm at a loss with dates. Had a dye stealer earlier in the week but was hoping for 3 weeks today. Maybe I'll try again next weekend.
Has anyone else literally no idea how to date anything before going for an appointment!!

@MeganC104 Welcome to the 3+ club 🤍🤍 it’s such a relief, I got mine yesterday after holding out testing since Thursday because I was too scared. I showed my partner it and he couldn’t really understand what the hype was 😂😂😂💜 I’ve not read your full story; however I hope this gives you some reassurance ✨

@CB23CB do you have any idea when you might have ovulated? That might help? For your reference I think I ovulated between 03/04 feb which puts me 20/21 dpo yesterday when I got my 3+ - hopefully this can put your mind at ease? X

Thanks @NSx
Maybe I ovulated a week later then. I haven't had a period since last November and it was much easier to track my last pregnancy. This time I'm confused to put it mildly!

I’m having vivid dreams @LWestYorks! Mine are often about smoking (I quit years ago) and I wake up really upset and feeling guilty.

I’ve also started having minor nose bleeds 😩

@firstlittlefrazzleontheway my scan is at 1pm and I'll have to cut a work meeting short to get there on time, will be a bit of a stressful morning!

This is my first pregnancy so not sure what to expect from a scan at 7 weeks. I've seen some pics people have shared here, hope I can at least see it's in the right place and hear the heartbeat. Good luck for us both, will be thinking of you! 🍀🍀

@Chanteuse how far are you? I feel so rubbish all day with them, they eased last week but the last 2 nights come back again - they wake me in the night as feel so real then can’t get back off. I’m hoping it’s just hormones….

@CB23CB yes maybe, did you track ovulation when trying to conceive or did it just happen?

@LWestYorks I’m 7+6 today! I don’t always have bad dreams but they’re always vivid. Had a good laugh last week at a dram about me and DH making ‘ant’ leather belts 😂

ahh the days are dragging! I’m away at the moment with hubby which has been a welcome distraction from counting the days. I couldn’t resist and took a CB digital in spanish because I needed to pee on SOMETHING 😂 grateful to have got my 3+ but no idea what I’ll do now to get through the weeks

10dpo - CB digital 1-2 weeks
15dpo - CB digital 2-3 weeks
20dpo - CB digital 3+ weeks

@DSP21 congratulations ✨ u must be due roughly when I am, I got my 3+ yesterday after avoiding it for a few days 😂😂😂😂

Enhorabuena por tu resultado positivo en la prueba @DSP21 😄😄😁

@DSP21 well your 3+ anyway. You had a positive test weeks ago 😄

My GP prescribed me Omeprazole and it's made a big difference even just after 3 days

That's good to know @iloveeggs . I've been on omeprazole a few years back when I was constantly nauseated and it was a massive help. I'm thinking of asking my GP to prescribe me that again as I'm currently feeling much like I did then. Gaviscon also helped then, I'm wondering if I should just try that first. Has anyone tried Gaviscon for pregnancy heartburn/nausea and did it help?

@LaVitesse2022 I tried Gaviscon before the Omeprazole and it did absolutely nothing for me unfortunately 😔

@iloveeggs @LaVitesse2022 can I ask how far along you girls are? What week are you on, as I have none of these symptoms 🫣

@NSx I'm about 6+3, I've been like this for nearly 2 weeks though. I seem to have had a lot of symptoms early 🙈I wouldn't worry too much, some people have no symptoms at all and others loads!
