Due July 24

Anyone want to join me? I'm likely jumping the gun as I have a history of reoccurring loss but it always helps me to chat as if it really will work out this time 🤞🏼❤️

Fun new thing started last night. When brushing my teeth I get near my back teeth, gag and am sick. Add in the realisation I can’t have pate at Christmas, the crying over silly videos online of military coming home or grandads singing at weddings and I’m an absolute mess. Now to pull myself together for a day of pretending I’m completely fine to attend a late lunch then onto a birthday party.

How is everyone else doing?

Had a private scan yesterday for reassurance and measuring at 8+4(today) which is exactly what I thought. Got to see the heartbeat and baby moving. Definitely feels real now especially as all my symptoms seem to have gone except feeling tired.

@MummyBear2519 oh the brushing teeth doesn't sound pleasant! I am a moody so and so today 😂 but not feeling too bad other than that. Hope you managed to enjoy lunch and party

@NphysT congratulations on your scan! You must be really happy! I have a reassurance scan on 15th December it feels sooo long away!!

Got my booking appointment! 13 Dec, and I'd already booked a private ~8wk scan for 14 Dec. We go away for Christmas on the 16th so will be a big week!

Yes I’m experiencing a bit of this when brushing my teeth, but only gagging 😔 it’s rough I’m so sorry you’re experiencing it too!!
I honestly feel so so rough. It’s only nausea for me but it’s constant throughout the day and even wakes me at night. Nothing is settling it and everything is disgusting 🫣😆

@NphysT congrats on the scan 🥳

@Jess725 I'm the same with nausea all day every day wakes me up in the night it's horrific I lay there think will I be sick won't I 🙈

I'm getting some wicked cramps tonight hopefully that's just because tomorrow we're turning from a blueberry to a raspberry 😂

Those of you with nausea when did it start?

@missmoosh mine started about 6+2/3

@bringmearainbow so I may have another week or so of freedom yet then 😂 although a huge part of me can't wait to actually feel pregnant with nausea and all the symptoms!! Even though it sounds awful!!!

@missmoosh it's one of those things you wish for but when it's here you think why did I wish for this again 😂

@bringmearainbow haha oh I can defo believe that! 😂 Probably be eating my words in a couple weeks!!

@missmoosh I think we have similar dates and I'm also sort of excited to feel it! Even though I'm a massive baby about any pain/discomfort and I'll definitely not enjoy it once here! I think there's just something about nausea as the "ultimate pregnancy symptom"... Those of you further ahead or who have had previous pregnancies are probably laughing your heads off haha but let me enjoy my naivety for one more week 😂

@trebuvie yeah we defo have similar dates I think! And clearly our brains are working in the exact same way!!!

Oh the nausea is horrendous.....been out for the day trying to sort birthday presents for my DD birthday....ended up running off to be sick in the car park in a pile of leaves I found. People were around and I am absolutely mortified.....I bet they thought I was drunk!

I can't stop thinking about it I'm so ashamed!! We are out for DD's birthday tomorrow too so I'm already panicking about being sick again.

I've tried eating nothing, then little and often but nothing helps, when it comes it comes 🤢

My chin has broken out in lots of tiny spots today. I look like I’ve got the skin of a teenager 😂 still struggling with fatigue, a bit of heartburn and not that fussed by any food. Just over a week until my booking appointment, I hope this week goes quickly! Hoping I’ll get booked in for a scan then too. I’m losing hope that I’ll squeeze one in before Christmas now!

@bringmearainbow

It’s horrific isn’t it 😭 ginger biscuits are actually helping today if you haven’t tried. I’m sure you’ve tried everything like me!!
Me too! Last night I was awake half the night due to nausea and also cramps. I’m trying not to be anxious about it and agree it’s the growth 👍❤️ we’ve got this!!! (Although at times I really am a blubbering mess☹️)😆

Sorry for everyone else feeling rough, try rest up!

Is anyone else super constipated and is anything helping? It’s actually making me feel grim and lightheaded.

I have zero symptoms today, making me stressed tbh!

@missmoosh I find that my symptoms come and go - hopefully they'll be back tomorrow for you. I've had spotting all weekend so feeling the stress too so at least you're not alone in that. Small consolation I know!

@Savvy21 i hope so, I would like my trapped wind back just so I had something 😅 oh I'm sorry to hear about the spotting, have you been able to reach out to anyone about it?

@missmoosh typically started on Friday night. I have a scan tomorrow anyway with EPU because of previous losses so just thought I'd wait until then. They'd only say monitor so thought I'd save myself the phone call!

@Savvy21 good luck for tomorrow! How many weeks are you now?

@missmoosh About 7.5 weeks. This first bit is a long hard slog isn't it? How many weeks are you?

I'm only 5 weeks! Yeah it really is tough, it's the mental side of not knowing if everything is going okay that's getting to me. I have anxiety anyway and it's through the roof atm. I think the fact we were literally days aways from starting Ivf is making it worse, such a long journey to get here and I'm petrified of it not working out.
Only one more day until you get to see your little bean, hopefully you can relax a little bit after that 😊

I feel like the nausea sometimes feels worse when I close my eyes and try to sleep, like I'm on some in the dark roller coaster..urgh

My first pregnancy was great, I was working out like a crazy woman but this one is sooooo taxing and making me feel exhausted for not.doing much. Dh is tired of the whinging.
