Due September 2024 PART 2 💛🧡💚💙💜

[HoneyandSunshine]

I couldn’t see a part 2?? So I’ve created one. Hope its not a duplicate 🥲😂

@HRP1990
heartburt is linked to hair?? Wow! I’ve never heard this one before.
@rupertbear91 love the doggo scarf! 😍Wouldn’t work on my parents, cos they can’t read English 😂 and they would not notice!

@Kate543 That’s so interesting you were like that with your DD as mine was sooo similar! I felt really hungover for the first weeks then started throwing up weeks 10 - 17. I have a feeling it’s going to be the same again this time 😵‍💫

Place marking…I’m 6 weeks today but I had a misscarriage in October and hesitant to get excited too early this time.

@HRP1990 i read the heartburn hair thing too! I didn’t have any heartburn and my poor girl was basically bald until she was nearly 18 months 😂😂

@Xur yes lol there are so many myths lol.

@Kate543 it was true for you and your little girl then! 😂😂 to be fair my girl has SO MUCH hair and won’t let me do a thing to it. It would be easier if she were bald lol

@HRP1990
have you seen the video with the two twin toddler girls that had to have their hair shaved off because they were pulling each others hair ? 😂

I also barely had any heartburn with my daughter and she had SO much hair!
I also felt pretty nauseous with her but was never sick, same as now really!

Wonder if those of this that have lost symptoms today will get them back tomorrow! Never thought I'd will feeling nauseous...

Well done @Fik88 for making the call!

@Xur just watched it now haha toddlers are so naughty. Love that they still both try and have a go, despite having skin fades 😂

How long did it take everyone to get their first appointment through? I’m 5+2 - only found out Monday morning this week! Spoke to GP and self referred. Just want an appointment to make it feel real 😂

@Swift1602 I’ve got my 1st appointment on Monday i will be 7 +2weeks. I found out at 4 weeks and self referred then xx

@Swift1602 I self refered at 4 weeks and got my appointment though for my booking appointment and 12 week scan a week later

Hello…just joining the thread. I’m 5-6 weeks I think…based on my last period the due date is 24th Sept - anyone else?

Though this is baby 3 and with dc1 and 2 the due date was moved earlier by about a week at the first scan - I think I just grow big babies!

I haven’t had any symptoms yet though it’s still so early. Had no morning sickness with my son and loads with my daughter so the old wives tales were true for me. We are not going to find out the sex so I hope my symptoms don’t give it away too much!

@Ifyouknowyouknowyouknow I'm due the same as you 24th September which was also my grans birthday so hoping my dates don't get adjusted 💕

Anyone else already getting annoyed at how unfair it is their partner can just carry on as normal? He is the most supportive guy ever and makes me what ever I fancy to eat, sorts the dogs and the house work but he's out with friends this afternoon/this evening and all I managed was a few hours out before ending up back on the sofa feeling like death

😍😍❤️❤️😭 amazing. So glad they had a lovely reaction to your news!!

I told my parents today (3rd pregnancy) and had to do it via FaceTime as they had my 2 children with them for a sleepover, and both of them know so I didn’t want them to drop us in it by accident…

My parents faces: 😶😶

Then a rather delayed “congratulations!”

Yay! I look forward to telling nobody else ever again 🥲🥲🥲😂

Hiya everyone, just catching up as I've had a day up north meeting my new neice, 2 weeks old and soooo cute! Was so hard not mentioning anything in front of all the fam!

Another day of no symptoms for me at all. Have eaten soooo much food today it's unreal!

@HoneyandSunshine ah hope you're okay, did you feel a bit deflated by their reaction? Do you think it's just general shock for the delayed congrats?

@rupertbear91 how cute is your pooch in their bandana ?? 🥰🥰 loved this.

I'm going to be truly honest and say I'm having a bit of worry at present girls, thinking all things practical if I do go full term. I can't believe we've wanted this baby for so long and now I'm panicking about support (or lack of) work and shit like that! Anyone else? 🙏🏼 xx

@MudandMoet I think it's totally normal to have a panic. We have had this baby planned for over a year and been so desperate for it to happen but it's still a huge life changing event so I get waves of anxiety over the reality of it all too.
I just focus each day at a time at the minute hoping we get to full term 🤞 I will deal with the rest of the issues then 😂

@MudandMoet its natural to worry, having a baby literally changes your life! But you really do just make things work 🫶🏼

I have the same worries too, but also feeling abit of guilt from cutting the 1-1 time with my daughter short. How will we adjust as a family of 4, what will their relationship be like, etc!

We’ve got this 💪🏻

I'm with you @MudandMoet I'm finding it super strange that I'm stressing more about going from 1-2 kids than I did having my first! The thought of trying to still be a good mum to my daughter whilst juggling a newborn and trying to function with life in general scares me 🤣
But then I think of when they get to grow up and have a best friend for life and that makes all the hard times worth it!

Thanks @rupertbear91 @ForeverHopeful67 I'm feeling a little sad that I feel like this but like you say it's such a massive life changing event, I'm actually a bit scared. Plenty of time to process it I guess and work out what will work best for us as parents.

@HRP1990 you're right - we have 💪🏼

🥰🥰🥰

@MudandMoet I've had a huge panic today. Financial, work, practicalities, (this is first baby. I presume I'm going to need to sell my car and get something more practical, and we will need to make a nursery what stuff do we need, will our parents help with childcare so I can work. I'm sure it will all work itself out. But the excitement and nervousness is turning into worry.

Hi ladies, congratulations to everybody that posted their scan photos since I last messaged, they're just lovely!

It's comforting to read that our symptoms are all over the place for many of us. I really don't have many symptoms, besides extreme thirst, very sensitive nipples and pure exhaustion a couple times a week (which could be non-pregnancy!) and I'm just about starting to get used to even those symptoms coming and going.

To those feeling overwhelmed/scared.... me too! I think it's totally normal, but there's plenty of time to get a good plan in place throughout pregnancy. Xxxx

@MudandMoet I don’t know tbh! They live nearby and are both self-employed and very hands-on with the kids and LOVE having them, so they’re a huge support to us, so I guess having a third means more “falls” on them?? Not that we really ask for the help, they literally insist on helping out and eagerly want to spend time with them. We’re lucky to have such a great support network of both our families, even my own nan who is very active and comes to visit us once a month as she loves spending time with them, and we take them to her. So, I’m not sure.

I kind of got the impression people that were making the wrong decision? Like, disappointment. It felt a bit like an “oh 😬” + some shock.

I was enjoying keeping it to ourselves, kinda wish I had just done it for longer now. With their current support and love for our kids, I feel a bit sad about the response but they are entitled to it. I know we’re not making the wrong decision, we don’t have the biggest home or much money but, of course we’ll make it work, and have a lot of love to give and I’m excited. Just feels like it’s been pissed on a bit. Determined to prove everyone wrong and confirm that 3 is indeed a magic number. I don’t want this baby to ever feel like an after thought so I’m only spouting positive energy and words ✨ 💫

Sorry for the word vom 😂😂 seems like I needed that.

What’s troubling you the most right now? What are your current thoughts about everything? Do feel free to spill! ❤️

Whenever I've been sick over the last few months I think I've strained so much that the vessels around my eyes and temple break and I get purple dots all over my face. I've been sick tonight and done the same so I'm really hoping this isn't bad morning sickness coming in or I'm going to look a mess

Sorry @MudandMoet re-reading that last part, by the “spill” I meant more as, feel free to offload and vent. It came across as though I wanted you to gossip which isn’t what I meant. If you wanna chat, I’m all ears ✨

@ForeverHopeful67 Thanks, just got to wait for my booking appointment now 😬 Still haven't really had any symptoms today.
Not sure how or when we will break the news to family, not sure what their reactions will be either as I think they thought we were done having babies, we already have a girl 11 and a boy 8
