Hi guys,

if like me you’ve just got your BFP, then it’s likely you’re due in January too!
congratulations.

That sounds horrible! I didn't think of water with lemon and ginger will keep that in mind. I've heard crackers are good to have as a quick snack whenever you feel sick and anything ginger but sounds like you have that covered!

Hopefully the sudden bouts of nausea are not common for you. How far along are you?

It was awful. But seem to manage it by regular light snacking. I have just hit 6 weeks so I think this is about the time for it ramping up. I have a few errands to run today so hoping to keep it at bay 😣 I am sipping water with lemon and ginger throughout the day (sometimes cold, sometimes warm) and it does seem to help. I bought ginger chews too but they taste horrible so that doesn't help when already feeling squeamish lol

Im also sick all day long here!! The only time it lets up slightly is if I’m eating, if I feel hungry the nausea is worse. However I’m a teacher so cannot snack in the classroom 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve been managing to sneak out a bit so far.
Im only 6 weeks so fear it’ll get worse yet, last year before my miscarriage I couldn’t get out of bed and was medicated for it.
Also suffering with diarrhoea every morning which is great 😂

Aww bless you!! My snacks have been rich tea or snack a jacks. I've already gained a few pounds with the extra snacking to try keep the feeling manageable!! I didn't realise you can get medication for nausea. If this gets worse i might need to ask for some. These sea bands seem to take the edge off or it could just be in the mind it's working haha x

Jadeypie · 17/05/2025 07:23

I feel like six weeks is the golden time for morning sickness to kick in. X

@TigerLily38 it could definitely be lack of caffeine. I've been having headaches every day and wonder if that's because I changed from two coffees a day to one. It usually gets better in the afternoon so I did wonder if that was because of my morning coffee. I'm going to slowly switch the morning coffee to decaf to try and avoid additional headaches! How much caffeine do you normally drink?

My symptoms so far have been pretty standard. Same with the insomnia and peeing. Can't believe they happen so fast. I'm getting hints of nausea and I hope that doesn't progress! I'm going on holiday next weekend so fingers crossed that holds off until I'm back. But today my boobs have started to really hurt. I wanted to buy a new bra and now I don't even know what size I'll want or how long it would last at this point!

Anyone further along had their cup size change yet? Mine normally change about 0.5 cup or so with pms symptoms so dreading to think what they will become soon.

@BettyBettyBoop I can't believe that taste changes so quickly that's going to be so strange! I've not noticed it yet. How far along are you?

@newbie1989 that's quite early for a scan, is that routine or because of your previous loss? I need to ring the epu back next week if I'm still pregnant so hoping I can get an early scan as I bled quite a lot earlier this week I think it was implantation though as everything seems to be progressing 🤞

Ahh sounds similar to me then! I usually have 2-3 cups of tea a day, sometimes 4 if I'm WFH 😅 and I'd completely gone cold turkey and switched to decaf so think I was in shock lol. Going to keep having my morning cuppa for a little caffeine kick to hopefully keep the headaches at bay and then wean myself off it. Crazy how reliant we become on it!

LoveaCaramelLatte · 17/05/2025 09:29

@Ivebeenthinkingtoomuch that sounds so tricky with your work. I hope the sickness doesn't get as bad as last year for you. Hope the diarrhoea eases as well 😂. Feeling very grateful i work from home most of the time but I'm away with work for a week when I'm about ten weeks so I dread to think what that'll be like. I'm already imagining having to make a run to the bathroom mid presentation! Although I guess it's probably the same worry for you mid lesson!

@lifebeginz good luck today! Have you tried the travel wrist bands? I've got some in my bag just in case although I've heard mixed reviews on them.

I'm glad I'm not feeling that sick at the moment. I'm going on a pub crawl today 😂 so already worried about people noticing I'm not drinking would not want to deal with nausea on top!

I get back from my holiday at 6 + 5 hoping the nausea stays mostly at bay until then!

@TigerLily38 I hope that works for you! And yes it is crazy how much it impacts us. I only have one shot of caffeine in my drinks as well so it's not even much of a change!

I'm also on a work trip at the end of week 6/start of week 7 & will be presenting to around 100 people - REALLY hoping any sickness doesn't kick in until I get home (or doesn't happen at all!!) 😬😬😬

SureLook · 17/05/2025 10:42

Morning all! I'm tentatively joining after getting my BFP this morning at 12dpo. I'm only 3+5 so super early still. I have one DD who is two and a half. I had an MMC in January with a D&C in February. This was cycle 3 TTC. Due date is the 26th of January. I'm trying not to let the anxiety take over after the loss!

I actually ordered the wrist bands which are due to arrive today. I had the same bout of nausea round about the same time today as yesterday (min to late Morning) but it had passed by lunchtime..... if it stays that way I can manage it.... fingers crossed it doesn't get worse because I don't do well with sickness

Ooh I might order some too...I'm exactly the same, it's the only symptom I'm really worried about 😬😬

Fullofconfusion · 17/05/2025 20:29

6 weeks and the nausea has hit me this afternoon. Hoping it doesn’t hang around for long

7+2 and have avoided nausea so far. I know I should feel grateful, but I also want some sort of symptom that would make it all feel more real!

LoveaCaramelLatte · 18/05/2025 07:11

@TigerLily38 that's very scary! Really hope you can get through your presentation and trip ok! @ForCalmRobin is giving me hope on the nausea front!

@SureLook congratulations! That must be very scary for you and sorry for your previous loss. Hoping this pregnancy is better x

@lifebeginz hope the wristbands work for you! So strange that it's the same time of day. I wonder if that's common.

@louise2019x congratulations! According to Flo my due date should be 22nd Jan so close! Agree with the thirst it's constant! My boobs have been getting more sore each day. Hoping they just settle at some point so I can get used to it!

SureLook · 18/05/2025 07:13

Thanks for the kind words @LoveaCaramelLatte all the best for your pregnancy too.

Hot flushes & light headed this morning anyone else experiencing this

BettyBettyBoop · 18/05/2025 12:21

Hi all, im sad to say that I think my journey has ended at 5+2, unfortunately this morning I started bleeding quite heavily, with quite bad cramping. The cramping has subsided but the bleeding hasn't. I did ring 111 and they said that unfortunately it sounds like ive had a chemical pregnancy. I'm to ring my GP in the morning, but it's unlikely that the EPU would get me in for a scan as it's before 6 weeks. They told me to re do a pregnancy test in 2-3 weeks as apparently the pregnancy hormone can remain in your system for sometime after. This was my first ever pregnancy. We are both very sad and just trying to process.
Wishing you all love and good luck on the rest of your pregnancy journeys xx

Sorry I missed this post - before my bfp I had one afternoon where I suddenly went really hot and almost fainted which came out of nowhere, wondering now if it was linked! Since my bfp I wake up most nights sweating/having a hot flush which isn't like me even in this hot weather, so think it's related to the hormones.

How many weeks are you? X

SureLook · 18/05/2025 22:10

@BettyBettyBoop I'm very sorry to hear that. Give yourself time and be kind to yourself. Sending hugs ❤️

newbie1989 · 18/05/2025 22:35

@TigerLily38 yea I’m usually freezing regardless of weather so not used to being hot 😂, my app says 6 weeks this Tuesday what about u?
