Morning ladies so exciting it's getting close to scan time for everyone. Mine is on Monday four days and counting hope everyone is feeling well x

 

[Loula]

A week today.
I just want food full stop apart from meat
Very partial to a sandwich and I never used to eat bread

 

[CDx]

No cravings here, its a struggle to try force myself to eat because of the nausea the past few days and the smell of food is turning my stomach - but I know eating gives some light relief.

I never had any cravings with A either.

I have a whole new level of tiredness. I'm currently at my desk at work and all I can think of is going home and crawling into bed. I've never known fatigue / tiredness like it...

Hi I've been a bit worried about joining a group on here in case I jinxed something (silly I know)
I got my bfp on 5th August after over 2 years of trying. I'll am 35 and this is my first baby
We had an early scan at just over 7 weeks and it showed a a little bean and heartbeat which was fab but also a rather large cyst on one of my overies. Yesterday I had to go to a&e in absolute agony turns out the 8cm cyst burst today we had an emergency scan to check all ok and here is my pic they have dated me around 11 weeks due date 12th April which may change at my actual dating scan on 4th Oct.
It was so lovely to see our lil pickle wriggling around.
I have been reading all your posts and such a lovely group of ladies here in the April group. Hope you are all well x

Welcome nilka! So pleased everything is going well for you. I totally understand your hesitation about joining but we have a wonderful group of ladies here who are incredibly supportive and I genuinely don’t know what I do without them! We’re really pleased to have you here! I’ll add you to the front page now

On a slightly more gross and tmi note, is anyone else like ridiculously constipated? I know the topic has been brought up before but I’m really struggling and it’s causing a lot of discomfort higher up in my abdomen. And on top of that and the severe nausea (that people at work don’t seem to understand) I’m also now suffering with headaches, joint ache and extremely sore boobs and nipples that feel like they’ve had stinging nettles dragged across them!

How are we all doing today? It’s the weekend after today and then the start of our 12 week scans!! super exciting!

 

[Loula]

Welcome Nika look at your baby. I can't wait for my scan x
Yes cossie I have had really bad constipation I didn't go for a week nearly and even then it was pathetic haha.
My boobs are not sore anymore but out spillingmy bra however my niples are sensitive like you say.
Thankfully the sickness and nausea is fading which I'm not sure if is a good sign or not but have read it's normal. So tired though at the moment.
I guess all will be revealed Thursday x

Morning ladies.thanks for the lovely messages. Yesterday was hard so glad it is over. It was helpful to discuss a plan. I feel surprisingly ok at the moment. I think now i have the D & C booked for Friday we can get some closure. Weve talked about ttc once more and perhaps give it till early 2018. The though of ttc again is helping to get us through.Not looking forward to fri but at least we can then move forwards. Hope everyone else doing ok. Will miss being a part of this lovely group x

Thinking of you today melly xxxx

 

[Lander]

[Lander]

Have felt a lot more queasy today. No actual sick but much more intense nausea. Had planned a different dinner tonight but went to Asda and felt awful at the thought of dealing with raw chicken

Actually just want DH to offer pizza.... it is Friday and DsS is with us unexpectedly.

I'm glad today went as well as possible for you, and that you can start to again straight away! That's amazing, I so hope it's not long until you get another positive test, I'll keep a look out and keep everything crossed x

I had some pain earlier today felt like period cramps, they were annoying and quite painful decided to have a lie down which helped ease the pain, but as soon as I moved again the pains came back even worse now I cannot seem to budge them, it's like a constant stabbing pain, am so worried something's going wrong, have decided that as soon as my partner is home I'll be going back to bed to lay down, and of the pain is there or continues tomorrow I'll be going to a&e am not feeling sick this evening either and I've not had a day where I haven't felt sick yet so I'm getting a little concerned

 

[cossie13]

Try not to worry Kerryjo. I have had 2 possibly 3 days in the last week or two where I haven’t felt sick and I’ve panicked but then I start to feel sick again and I wish I’d made the most of not feeling queasy! If you’re concerned give the midwives a call. Having said that if your cramps don’t go I’d make a trip up to a&e and perhaps they’ll be able to scan you? Not sure how it works at a weekend really

Hope youre ok kerryjo. Take care x

 

[Loula]

Are u under an epu. Ours is open 7 days a week. Give them a call.
A&e isn't really the place to go unless you are cramping and bleeding.
Are u nearly at a new week e.g. 10 11 etc. I find just before my new week I get a little crampy and achy.

 

[cossie13]

I've always been lucky enough that any issues have always come mid week when I can call the epu or the midwives as over the weekend I don't think they're there in our area. I'm not sure. I know they close at 4pm though so I'd imagine they're not there at a weekend

 

[Loula]

Very lucky here. 8 to 6 6 days a week at the hospital I work at. 9 to 7 Monday to Friday and 9 to 5 weekends at the hospital I am under. I've not known a service like it x

 

[Kerryjo]

I do have a direct number for the ward I was scanned in a couple of weeks ago, and the lady who scanned did say if I get any persistent pain, worse pain or bleeding not to hesitate to call, but I don't want to jump the gun, I'm hoping it's just where everything is stretching and growing, I'll be 9 weeks on Monday so really not sure much would be stretching at this point though I've been prescribed co-codamol for the pain I was in anyway so I've resulted to taking two of them and laying in bed again, still getting the pains though I'm hoping a whole nights rest will help and I'll feel like a new person in the morning (that's if I can sleep through the pain
