[Emma 33]

I finally feel like the sheer exhaustion of tri 1 has taken hold and I'm back to work today after annual leave 😒

 

[JWard]

Welcome cathlou congratulations. My scan is booked for 25th September, I've booked another private one though 16th September as I go away that evening and want to check all is okay x

Morning. I feel like I belong in here now after everything that's happened.
I was only up twice last night but still so tired and nausea is still about.
I'm not sure if I'm bloat or bumpy literally squeezing into work trousers st the moment.
12 week scan 4 weeks today on 28th. 29th is our 4 year anniversary.

Hi everyone!
Just been told about the April mummies thread and thought I'd drop a message to say hi to everyone
Had my bfp 3 weeks ago and I was 17 days late for my period before I got my positive! Had an early scan due to a miscarriage I had in April. I'm now 7 weeks and 1 day. A fetal pole was seen and heartbeat so I'm over the moon. First midwife appointment booked for 13th September. Only symptoms atm is tiredness, feel like I need atleast one nap in the day. I also have sore breasts. No sickness or nausea like I had with my other two boys. I also suffered quite early on in my second pregnancy with pubic dysfunction syndrome that got worse further into pregnancy that I was given crutches, but so far I've had no pain down there as yet. Wanting to eat salad and drink fizzy drink alot which isn't normally like me! Gone off meat, especially sausages. Hope this helps others
Congratulations on all your bfps!!

Welcome Cathlou! It seems we have a bit in common. I also had a miscarriage in April and therefore had an early scan for this one, on Tuesday, and she could see the heartbeat.

Fortunately the hospital I'm going to is doing some research at the moment at the Early Pregnancy Unit, and have offered me scans every 2 weeks in Tri 1! So I'll have scans at 8 weeks, 10 weeks and then the normal 12 weeks. Next one is 13th Sept, same day as you!

I don't feel sick either, in fact the opposite. I want to eat everything!! I feel constantly hungry. I'm worried about how fat I'm going to get at this rate!

Hope it's a happy and healthy 9 months for you xx

This morning ive had a few dull aches on left side. Feel a bit like af pain. Also a bit of back ache on left side too. Not too worried....probably need the loo! Haha Has anyone else had that?

 

[Rach beattie]

Yes melly I had that the other day and put i down to constipation haha!

Well I have morning sickness now which I never had with dd, finding it hard to hide it in work as I keep running to the loo. I'm taking it as a good sign tho x

 

[Meg86]

Thought it could be that. Its settled a bit but not fully gone x

 

[Lander]

Haven't felt so depressed the last two days thankfully. DH bought home roses for me last night which was lovely. A lot more hungry and nauseous today especially. Nasty headache today as well which is often a sign of strong hormones for me.

Have my repeat early scan on 13th at 8+5w. Booking is on the 8th at 8w and 12wk scan is 6th Oct, two days before mine and DH's 4th anniversary of meeting. Our two year wedding anniversary is October 25th this year.

Also, asked for the maternity exemption form at the GP last week, got the card in the post this morning. My one for DS runs out at the end of next week lol

 

[Melly41]

Lander hopefully in next 2-3 weeks youll feel better once body adapted to hormones. Roses! Thats lovely! Flowers always seem to cheer me up too x

 

[Lander]

Irony was he'd bought them in case I'd had another down day but if actually felt a bit better. Still love that he got them though xx

 

[Melly41]

Such a lovely thought x

 

[cossie13]

Congratulations cathlou! Let me know your due date and I'll add you to our list of amazing April mummies!

I can't believe how well we all seem to be doing! It's fab! roll on the 12 week scans now ladies! With exception of the lucky few who have more early ones to come

I'm getting so excited now! I can't believe that in a months time we'll all be starting to move across to tri 2!

 

[Melly41]

Im feeling more excited today. Think as im approaching 9 weeks its starting to feel it might be possible to get to the 12 week stage after all! My boobs are not hurting anymore as from today too....hooray! Still up loads overnight tho but getting used to this x

 

[cossie13]

My boobs are incredibly sore this pregnancy I keep catching them on things and it bloody hurts! They've grown so much too. I never had any issues with my boobs until after I had DS!

 

[Melly41]

I cant recall my boobs hurting last time either until the milk came in and my god my nipples felt like theyd been cut with a razor blade everytime DS latched on. Didnt get sore nipples with DD prob because it was only 20mths later do probably hardened to it....hope i dont get sore nipples like i did with DS...i used to cry with the pain...had to squeeze DH hand when DS was trying to latch on.....ouch! X

 

[StephLo]

Need a bit of advice. A few weeks back I had some brown discharge the odd spot and little when I wiped o told the midwife and she told me it was nothing to worry about. There was no red blood or pain or anything, anyway it stopped but then the past 2 days I've had some again mainly in the morning when I first have a wee and I wipe I notice it like really dark brown colour. Sounds sillly but I would have been due on my period now could this cause it? I had a miscarriage earlier in the year and I'm just paranoid about anything, I was going to try and hold off having an early scan but do you think I should ring the early pregnancy unit and ask, I am just on 8 weeks now I think x

 

[holli]

Hey ladies I'm jumping bewteen April to May as I'm not entirely sure when I'm due, got 4 bfp yesterday and did another 2 today just to make sure I know crazy I'm just at that surreal moment! Any ways last night while I was working ( I work nights in a care home) I had really bad af style cramps and back ache I've still got the back ache and the cramps come and go so I phoneed my GP just to put my mind at rest she's sending me to early pregnancy assessment unit in the morning for an internal scan just to rule out ectopic, I have nausea and really hot sore nips at moment so that's also reassuring, my last proper period was June 28th so GP said I'm either 8-9 weeks or 5 weeks- I personally think I'm 5 weeks as I've got 2 clear blue digis with 2-3 weeks on them, don't think they will see much tomorrow which will probably add to the stress - sorry for the essay and congratulations to all you mummies xx
