Due October 2023 - thread 4

[Soda123x]

Hi all another new thread as the last one filled up fast again.
8wks3 here according to early scan. This may change at the 12 weeks scan xx

@DmcinT I bet that was a massive shock!! How exciting for you all! 💕

I’m feeling really sorry for myself today as my nausea is back with a bloody vengeance 🤢 worst it’s been for weeks!

Butterscotch, of course - any other option is unacceptable in my opinion!

I've already finished my sausage sarnie and I'm having the Angel Delight now... I can confirm it's as good as we all remember 🤤

Oh my goodness!!! Wow wow wow! Congratulations

When you come back on here to 22 new messages and a third of them are @VictoriaBlossom 😂

@DmcinT oh wow, congratulations! That must have been such a shock (and probably still is!). How are you feeling? Have you had strong symptoms? Xx

I'm with all you girls who can't stop eating. Honestly, I feel huge and literally can't stop eating! Anyone else feeling like jeans are now a no-go? I have to go in to work this week (usually work from home) and I have no idea what to wear as nothing feels comfortable. I'm only 10 weeks and living in my joggers 🙈
Anyone feel like they have a bump yet? I feel like my belly really sticks out but it just looks like bloat 🫣

@SillyOldBear3 My jeans haven't fit for weeks! I think I have the beginning of a bump, it feels low and firm - the bloat/fat is usually a bit squishier! I'm coming up to 13 weeks, so it's feasible to be a bump beginning 😮

Mine has got a bit worse, 12 weeks today. Haven't been sick but feeling more nausea in the evenings.

@DmcinT triplets OMG!!!

Our fetal harmony came back all good and we're having another little girl 🥰 delighted

Sorry for ignorance - but what does a fetal harmony tell you that the NHS doesn’t?

Omg wow, what a shock! Congratulations @DmcinT ♥️

@Needtobuildabridge definitely could be a bump starting at 13 weeks! I think mine is just weight gain..oops.. really need to slow down on the eating. I keep telling myself that breastfeeding will shed the baby weight quickly but I'm not sure how true this will be!

to say we are in shook is the biggest understatement. There’s twins everywhere in my family so I feel I had myself well prepared it could be twins but when she said 3, I was floored.

my symptoms have been so intense, sleeping 15 hrs a night the last 2-3 weeks, so nauseous, can’t even brush past my boobs, they are so tender. Trousers haven’t fit in 2-3 weeks and I deff have a substantial bump now at not even 10 weeks 🙉🙈
really don’t think I’ll be able to hide it in work any longer, I already think they are so suspicious.

@DmcinT congratulations that's amazing, if slightly overwhelming!

When we had our early scan, they said they'd check for number of babies and DH went white, I don't think he'd considered the possibility there could be more than one 😂

@Needtobuildabridge I have a definite bump now at 12 weeks. Popped out pretty much overnight!

I'm in Ireland so not on NHS, it's an nipt test so screening for chromosomal abnormalities that can be done from 10 weeks with a blood test. You can also find out the sex if you choose to.

@DmcinT wow! Congratulations! Could you tell from your symptoms that you may have twins/triplets?

@Mldn NHS does the nipt test only if the combined test comes back as high probability. The nipt is more accurate than the combined test done through NHS at 12 weeks and you have the option to find out baby's sex.

@DmcinT oh wow congratulations!!

@PeopleAreToads my DH is slightly terrified this time round as my sister's 3rd pregnancy was twins and they're a pair of little terrors - he's very much hoping for just one in there when we have an early scan tomorrow 😂

@DmcinT holy cow! That must have been quite a shock! Congratulations!!! 👶👶👶

Just catching up after a busy weekend.

@DmcinT oh my goodness!! Congratulations! That's crazy! DH has kept teasing me that it's triplets - not sure what he'd do if it actually was! I can't even imagine how surprising it must be to go in to a scan and come out with that news! Do you mind me asking, were they conceived naturally or through fertility treatment?

Another one constantly ravenous here. I'm just enjoying it while I can 😆

@DmcinT wowzer what a surprise that must be! How lovely although can totally imagine your feeling overwhelmed at the moment.

I’m 12 weeks and think I have the beginnings of a low bump although I have definitely also just gained weight from the constant eating 😂

my Nipt results are due in the next day or two and my patience is starting to wear thin now, just want to know everything is okay and then we will start telling people.

I’ve started waking up to vomit now, someone save me 🥺

Anxiety-induced insomnia is in full swing tonight, private scan this afternoon and all my dreams end in me having a scan where's there's no baby and them questioning how I can read a pregnancy test wrong 🥲

Always been my biggest worry because I've never had many symptoms so it doesn't feel real until I've seen an actual baby and my brain knows this and is torturing me! Thankfully a busy morning of some lesson planning and a toddler group ahead of the scan so will hopefully keep my mind busy, but rn it's 4.41am and I'd like to sleep without waking up thinking I'm an idiot please! 😂

@iloveeggs ow you poor thing, this happened to me but thankfully only the one night but it’s so miserable. Hope the sickness passes quickly for you and you managed to get a bit of rest.

@DancingNancies pregnancy insomnia is the worst - how is it that despite being quite rational beings during the day at night time we manage to convince ourselves of every catastrophe out there. Wishing you a lovely, healthy scan and hopefully your sleep will improve with the peace of mind too.

So after a stressful Saturday, Sunday wasn't much better and I feel like I have a complete loss of symptoms.
I don't feel pregnant anymore and that's a familiar feeling from a few months ago.
I'm going to call the hospital today and go from there.
I'm just done with this sad anxious feeling now, I need to know if I'm right. I really hope I'm not.

@CB23CB I hope you can get some answers today - it could very well just be symptoms fluctuating as I have had a similar thing and they came back a few days later, so you never know. Sending lots of positive vibes your way xx
