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 🤞🏼❤️

I feel like the nausea and tiredness have kicked in properly this weekend. I was at a Christmas get together with friends today and was sick before I went and didn’t eat anything in case I was sick again. I’m absolutely exhausted following two hours of socialising 😂

Another friend just messaged me asking to arrange a boozy Christmas day out. She knows I’ve been TTC and said we may as well squeeze it in now in case I’m pregnant next Christmas 😅 any advice on whether to arrange something and have an excuse for not drinking? Or just try and put it off until I tell her following the 12 week scan in January?!

@missmoosh I had a day like that in week 5, I cried and worried a lot that I felt too normal. I’m in week 7 now and everything has come back. I think hormone levels just fluctuate a lot! It’s a rollercoaster isn’t it? Look after yourself 💕

@MrsHousePlant thank you for the reassurance! It really is a rollercoaster, time just seems to have slown down as well, I just want to see my little bean and know they are doing alright!

@Oatmilktea ooo that's a really tricky one! Could you go and drink alcohol free stuff without them noticing maybe?

@missmoosh I know just how you feel. The weeks are so long. Are going to go for an early scan or are you waiting for 12 weeks? I’m trying to wait but I’m getting less patient 😂

@Vittoriosa I'm eating prunes as a bedtime snack right now to try and make sure I don't suffer this mornings constipation again tomorrow 🤣

Welcome all the newbies.

I am 6 weeks today. Nausea all day and dizziness worse as I can't really rat with my toddler. Having the good pregnancy naps. Crackers not kicking it at all. I am up at 1am feeling sick and hot and uncomfortable.
Boobs hurt so can't even lay on my tummy.
Heart burn still coming and going.

@Oatmilktea my midwife said any pain worse then Period cramps then to go to see them. With or without bleeding.

@Vittoriosa the only thing I know that works a charm is Prunes try 3/4 and see how that works you might need more/less.
I use them with my toddler works quickly.

I have the opposite here as I have IBS so don't have constipation in pregnancy.

@Vittoriosa Chia pudding worked for me today, about 3 hours from eating till the required result!

Thanks @TooHappyToday and @MixedCouple. Still no joy for me yet and getting increasingly painful! Will see if I can get some prunes/chia seeds

@MrsHousePlant I have an early scan booked in for 15th, when I will be 7+5. No way could I make it to 12 weeks lol.

Also in terms of constipation, I don't currently have it, got the opposite problem lol. But after I had my thyroidectomy and also a lap & dye, make sure you have some suppositories on hand. You can get them from supermarket. If it gets too bad use them, they are a life saver. Just make sure they are pregnancy safe (I'm pretty sure they are)

Yesterday was just spent either napping or crying over the silliest things. I usually pride myself on being very even-keeled but apparently not when pregnant...!

I’ve been napping pretty much every day for the last week. At work this morning and I cannot stop yawning, not quite sure how I’m going to survive the day!

@FigandHoney @bringmearainbow
Thank you both so much for your messages, I seen them Friday, but only just getting round to replying now.
You both completely put my mind at ease, I've felt so much more chilled over the weekend 🥰

Hope everyone is getting on OK! Week 7 day 1 for me, booked a private scan for the Saturday afternoon so i'm hoping for the best! I've been told that week 7 is a crucial week for genetics being developed...i'm trying not to get too anxious about it!

I am 6+1 and starting to feel very grim. Been nauseous for about a week and the vomiting started today. Luckily I was working from home and my boss was off today so nobody noticed me disappear for a while 🫣 I had to nap at lunchtime too.

I’ve got a scan booked for Tuesday next week - I’ll be 7+2.

Oh, I hope it's not been too awful for you today @soscarlet

I'm 6 weeks today I think but due to my age my cycles have been all over the shop in length : 24 days, 32 days and anywhere in between. I just plumped for average 28 day cycle. Also my last "period" in October was 1 day of bleeding and 4 days of spotting/brown blood so never know, may need to be on the June bus 😄

I was absolutely exhausted yesterday. Could barely keep my eyes open. Today tired but not burning eyes tired. Only other symptoms are tender breasts and aversion to coffee which I usually love (ordered 3kgs in pre-black Friday sale and now I hate it!)

5+4 and feeling quite off today, a little dizziness and cramping. Get so scared anytime I feel anything in the tummy area! No bleeding though. Anyone else getting cramps?

Just had my scan and thought I'd update. Everything looks fine - thank goodness despite the spotting over the weekend. Now just the long wait until the 12 week one 😂

That's great news @Savvy21

Hi Everyone - just joining this group. I'm 6 weeks + 1 today. Feeling pretty good but I am tired a lot. Got my first midwife appt tomorrow which is exciting. The wait for the scan is killing me but I do really want to be patient and wait. How is everyone else coping with it?

Hey ladies, I'm 7weeks1day today and my main symptoms continue to be food aversion (wanting to eat but nothing much feeling appealing), absolute exhaustion and thirst at all times. I've now received my first midwife appointment for the 12th Dec and first scan for the 18th Dec. I think I'll stick to my original plan and not do any scan before that date (just cos it can be such a hole and I'm scared of hearing good news there and possibly bad news later I guess). Oh and exercising is a myth right now 🥲

Hi all, finally the two week wait between my unsatisfactory early scan at 6+4 and my repeat scan at 8+4 was over this morning. It has been a miserable time, with me trying to accept that it's most likely over, while not extinguishing all hope.

I'm happy to report all looks good! I saw a heartbeat, and the measurements match my dates!

3.5 more weeks of ivf meds to go before weaning off them. My clinic has me on everything and the kitchen sink. (Oestrogen tablets, progesterone pessaries and injections, corticosteroids, blood thinner injections, calcium + vit d, pregnancy multivitamin, and my usual thyroid meds) They suspect immune issues, so we also did a series of blood tests today for that. I'll find out at my next appointment what their recommendations are.

@Bluebonnet3 Glad your scan went well!

@Bluebonnet3 oh that's amazing! You must be thrilled. Crossing everything for you that the next few weeks keep going well!
