New thread 😊

Also loving all the scan photos ❤️ mines not for another 10 days

@Crazytoddlermum it sounds likely to be an irritated cervix lovely. But 100% speak to a professional, they’ll be able to put your mind at ease x

@Crazytoddlermum bleeding after dtd is quite common it's actually how I guessed I was pregnant but I would probably phone up to get checked just for reassurance

@J2023xx @krissy12 I called Maternity Triage this morning and they told me to keep an eye on it and call back if it gets worse or if I have pain. Still have some brown bleeding but hopefully it will go away soon.

These babies keep us on our toes! 😅

@Lily124 perfect thanks i hall invest in these x
went shopping today for maternity clothes and literally could see nothing - where is everyone getting their bits from x

@Ruthsoph I ordered leggings from love leggings or lovall as its now called. they were recommended by loads of people in my 1st pregnancy but they're quite expensive so I didn't bother but I just went for it this time. they arrived today and are so thick and comfy

@Ruthsoph in my last pregnancy I bought most things from Vinted and am going to do the same this time round!

@Ruthsoph - ASOS (including Topshop), New Look, Uniqlo, River Island, H&M, Mango, Nike, Nobody’s Child, M&S, John Lewis all have maternity ranges. But probably best looking online.

I‘be been browsing and looking at Vinted too, but waiting until I start getting a bump and seeing what will last me from my normal wardrobe.

Ive bought a band for jeans from Jojo Maman Bebe that attaches to them. One friend just used that on normal jeans the whole way through pregnancy!

@Crazytoddlermum i had bleeding early on after DTD and was told the cervix is very “vascular” so can easily bleed after DTD during pregnancy. Brown is usually an ok sign!!

@Ruthsoph @krissy12 I want to get another pair of Lovall leggings this time too! I went shopping last weekend and only H&M had a maternity collection in store. Every other shop said it was online - even M&S and John Lewis! I mostly ended up buying oversized clothes with a nice pair of maternity jeans from H&M.

It's such a pain not trying clothes in store. I still have clothes from last time, ASOS is usually good and Seraphine or JoJo Maman Bebe on sale / from Vinted 😉

@Crazytoddlermum Morning! How are you feeling today? Blood is so stressful but sounds like it was definitely caused by DTD. Hope it's all stopped!

@Ruthsoph and @LeopardLover I also signed up to the lovall newsletter and got 10% off

I'm happy that when I'm heavily pregnant its going to be winter.

This weather omg.

@krissy12 Great idea! I was thinking of getting the winter ones but it's hard to think about cool weather right now. I'm with you @BBno4 🥵

I've just put this 14 week fetus down for a nursery placement starting feb 2025 😂 the waiting lists here are crazy!

@WAC1 I’m visiting a nursery on Thursday to do the same!! It’s mad isn’t it?

Has anyone hit 12 weeks and felt awful? I’ve been lucky not to have morning sickness- didn’t with my first either. Yesterday I felt a bit tired but today I just feel terrible. I tried going for a shower and gone straight back to bed. I feel nauseous, my head is thumping and I have no energy, which isn’t great with a toddler around. Not sure if I’ve caught a bug or if it’s pregnancy related?

I’m about 5-6 weeks pregnant and have been getting really severe cramps (like period cramps) at night and have to go to the toilet. It’s often diarrhoea but then I feel fine afterwards. Has anyone else had this? It’s been happening for about a week now. We’ve had 2 failed IVF attempts then fell pregnant naturally so I’m beyond worried that something is going to go wrong. 😞

So I had really bad cramps for about 3 weeks from 3-6 weeks. I also had diarrhoea every morning for about 2 and a half weeks. I’m now over 13 weeks pregnant.

@Sarah25984 I know the pain is scary but I totally had this! And diarrhoea for weeks. It's quite common, must be all the hormones and the stretching / implanting etc.

@Hiddenvoice I'm 14 weeks and still being 🤮 🙈 I do remember a bad headache phase a few weeks ago! I hope you feel better soon. It is tough being ill with a toddler around 😫x

Thank you, I can’t concentrate on anything, I’m just worrying all the time.

Thank you, hopefully they’ll ease off soon!

@Sarah25984 I don't think you stop worrying until you have that first scan! Are you considering an early one?x

@LeopardLover Yes I’m booked in on Wednesday so fingers crossed! How many weeks were you when the cramps and diarrhoea stopped?
