Continue here all!

@Lilothblos s thank you for the new thread!

@Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese ooo tell me all about your HB plans, have you thought much about it yet?

Heyyy thanks for the new thread @Lilothblos!!!

Errm to be fair @Kalodin I don't have a clue if I will or not. Part of me thinks it will be nice to do it, but the other part of me is like I want the medical intervention if needed, however I never needed it with ds, things went to fast, but that scares me because faster could be more risky 🤷‍♀️ it's something that's very conflicted in my head.

Also I don't fancy the risk of the mess of doing it at home 🤣

I think I'll need to do some research and really think about it. Are you considering a HB?

Thanks for starting @Lilothblos .
Marking my place to continue my pregnancy journey

Re the progesterone in the morning - as I'm up peeing some time in the early morning anyway (usually between 5 and 7) I try to put the AM one in then and slip back to bed.

Also trying to do the evening one a bit earlier if possible (either early bed or before watching something on TV) so as to spread them out in time a bit more.

@mummyme87 Pleased to hear your scan went well today! Must be such a relief! Mine is tomorrow and I’m so nervous.

Thank you @Lilothblos !

I definitely want to join the Facebook page at some point - just still quite anxious about people seeing it 🫣🤣

Not quite sure how I feel today, these emotions are a nightmare! One minute I'm really happy and excited then I totally flip to a nervous wreck! Still not really feeling very pregnant! Very few symptoms, main ones being strong sense of smell, I'm struggling with the toilet (TMI sorry!) And my boobs feel a bit bigger today but not sure if that's just wishful thinking! Feeling more and more anxious about lack of symptoms and I'm also not gaining any weight yet - not sure if that's normal for 10W. Sorry, didn't realise it'd be a long post, must've bottled more up than I thought! 🙈

@Lilothblos thanks for the new thread 😊

Thanks for the new thread @Lilothblos!

I had my scan today and happy to say it all went well ☺️ I’d been having a bit of spotting on and off, quite a bit this morning too which made me think the worst. But baby was there measuring slightly ahead at 9 weeks 5 days and no reason found for the bleeding, just need to continue to keep an eye on it. Such a relief!

@Kalodin my friend at work took them for the same reason as you and only did it on a night so I wouldn’t worry until you’ve got prescription lovely

@Hummusanddipdip Yeah I get you on that! It's what's making me in limbo about it. I planned a HB for DS2 and 3 but didn't end up having it with either

Ah yeah that does make sense @Outdamnspot23

I'm guessing no one has seen it when I joined @FirstT1meMum as my Mum and Nan would have definitely said something right away if they saw 😂 and they live on FB

Great news about the scan @youaremysunshine03 !

Thanks for the new thread @Lilothblos!

Another one on progesterone here. I've also tended to either do it in bed first thing if I've got time to lie/sit for 20-30 minutes, or on the train into work slightly later. Then I do the other one about 12 hours later when I'm sat on the sofa in the evening. They've been fine for me, a bit messy but otherwise ok 😊

@FirstT1meMum completely normal not to have put weight on yet. Baby is still tiny as is the placenta. I’m 10 weeks too and have lost half a stone cause of sickness but seem to have finally turned a corner.

so now naturally I’m worried about losing my symptoms 😂

Thanks for the new thread.

I am getting a call about my booking appointment tomorrow morning so all starting to feel real!

There really isn’t any winning. If I feel sick I’m like bleughhh I feel sick, and if I don’t I immediately start an internal check of myself and have a quiet panic.

So far symptoms have been mild compared to what most others have had. I had a lot of fatigue in week 6 but that has largely passed, I wouldn’t say I have normal energy levels, but I’m not dying for my bed at 8pm. I’m now 8w 3d and the nausea is still there, but today it’s been particularly light.

I’ve never been pregnant before, I had my first checking in appointment yesterday and have been classed low risk, and I know the likelihood of a MMC is low but I fear it. Bad as it is, I’d take a few days of symptoms being quite bad as some reassurance!

@Lilothblos thank you for the new thread!

@youaremysunshine03 glad your scan went well and was reassuring xx

@youaremysunshine03 Glad to hear your scan went well!

Thanks for the new thread.

@FirstT1meMum the FB group is a closed group so no one can see you joined. Also many women don’t start putting on weight until part way through 2nd trimester, previously I started putting on about 17-19weeks. This time put on almost immediately, the carb fest hasn’t helped so been trying to get my weight back down again.

I’m craving grapes and pineapple! Can’t get enough

What a lovely craving @Mummyme87 ! I’ve actually not had any cravings since about 5/6 weeks but I am drinking so much water and orange juice! Nothing can quench my thirst!

@lackingpatience I’ve felt quite similar. I think now I’m over 10 weeks I’m less anxious but I totally understand how you feel. I was speaking to a friend today and she was saying how sickness etc is all you see on tv is women being awfully sick and exhausted etc but in reality there’s a largeish percentage of women who won’t experience that! Although I’d totally love a touch of nausea just to say I have it at this point 😂

A scan at around 9 weeks, do we think that will be TV or TA? 🤔

@RootsHere Window to the Womb do TV until 10 weeks but I know other places do try an abdominal before TV x

@RootsHere i had mine today thinking I was just over 9 weeks and that was abdominally, saw everything perfectly! I went in with an empty bladder thinking it would be TV but it was still fine. The sonographer said it’s worth trying abdominally first at 9 weeks

Joining! Will join fb group after 12 week scan as don’t want to jinx it!

Marking my place here. Hit with Covid badly it’s been a grim 8 days. Temp finally down today. Very behind with the thread! X

Thank you @Lilothblos for the new thread

Thanks for new thread! Marking my place too!

@FirstT1meMum I'm panicking about not feeling as terrible as well, I've got a scan on Friday and I hope all is ok! 🤞🤞
