[night owl]

Morning everyone and welcome to the new mummies!
Hope your ok crumble got everything crossed for you!
I was out last night with my sister's and sister in law and they know so wasn't too bad for me! I did miss a gin when they were having them woke up again today with still bits of bitty spotting. It's driving me insane. I hate going to the toilet everytime I see it my heart sinks! Feel like Thursday is ages away. I am 5+4 today, I still don't even feel pregnant no real symptoms here so far! Just praying hard that baby is still progressing. Hope your all ok xxx

I’m 5+6 today and not getting many major symptoms either, a bit of nausea on and off, sore boobs and lost my appetite a bit, but I’m not even that tired though and I’m usually permanently exhausted! I’m right there with you with the praying hard! I bet baby is progressing fine though mummymoreton, we will probably be moaning about all of our symptoms in a few weeks time

One thing which does seem to be a symptom for me is a runny irritated nose and lots of sneezing for hours every morning, I’ve had it everyday since my bfp , it’s driving me mad, Got my midwife appointment tomorrow so might ask her about it

Wish i could see midwife early. I was told at 6 weeks it was too soon to have my first appointment. So frustrating. I want to see them to put my mind at ease over a few things. I am wishing the next few weeks away so I can have my 12 week scan.

It seems unfair the way everywhere seems to do it differently jellybean, I think any woman should be able to see the midwife as early as they want to ask questions and get the necessary information to have a safe and healthy pregnancy, and how do they know you haven’t got any underlying conditions which make you high risk etc, hopefully you will get your appointment sooner rather then later x

It's driving me insane! I get worried by the slightest things- been like it all my life. So right now I'm absolutely at my height of anxiety over these early few weeks and want some reassurances. I am sure everything is fine but this is all so new. Glad there's a good support network on here

I felt a little queasy a couple of days ago but it came and went. I am tired but I am tired anyeay running round after 4 kids. I really hope so!
Aaah good luck with your appointment! I am sure it will all start to feel real for you. That's a strange symptom Haha! I am like that anyway with hayfever xxx

I don't know what I would do without the reasurrance on here and knowing there's other crazy pregnant people out there who find out before they are even due their period Haha! I am sure everything is fine for us all we are obviously a bunch of stress heads xxx

After having the weekend for the news to set in, I am now panicing about safely making it through the first trimester. Even worried we have somehow jinxed it by telling a few family members (who knew we were trying and pretty much knew my cycles lol). I am literally only 4 weeks tomorrow - no idea how I am going to hang in there until end of Oct scan xx

I just wanted to say again crumble that I am so sorry. This journey can be so hard xx

 

[JomoMama]

Sorry to hear this crumble, hope you get a bfp soon xx
I’m really struggling with stuff to eat, I’m not really super nauseous per say, but the thought of eating pretty much anything turns my stomach. All the foods I used to love I now can’t stand the thought of, I’m mostly resorting to junk food because I literally couldn’t bear to eat anything remotely healthy I’m managing to have fruit which is good, but mostly I’m craving junk food and for some reason super sour sweets? I’d give anything for one of those toxic waste sweets right now! I thought my body was meant to crave what was good for me?! If anyone knows anything healthy that’s easy to stomach, I’d love any suggestions! (Veggie) xxx

Hope you all had a good weekend?

So not drinking on Saturday was actually ok, i did tell my friend and her oh as they would have sussed it straight away, so i was on the non alcoholic cocktails, which were really nice and i actually lasted all afternoon while they whacked back the wine, beer, gin, you name it, i just sat there with my pint of water

Managed to coax the oh away at 7pm, which ended in a bickering match in waterloo lol as he said about going to meet our mate for one drink - but at this point, i was ready to go home and didnt want to lie in another friends face, who also wouldnt believe me, but the oh just didnt get it managed to get him on the train and dropped him off at the pub, so he was happy, and i went home - felt weird being the driver

First doctors appointment tomorrow - will they do a pregnancy test and / or a blood test?

Bl**dy oh wanted me to do a pregnancy test at the weekend he is just heightening my anxiety atm!!!!

Well done! It's so hard keeping it secret you want to tell the work but at the same time keep it just till you know all is well.
Haha why did he want you to do a test did he not believe you?
How many weeks are you? I can't quite remember from last time none of my doctors ever did a pregnancy test. They wanted to check I was happy to be pregnant, referred to the ante natal clinic and told me to take folic acid. It's always a bit different with me because I have a blood clotting disorder I am already taking aspirin and have a scan Thursday to see if there's a heartbeat and then then they can prescribe my blood thinning injections.
So never been straight forward for me. I think input areas your seen by 8 weeks by a midwife then 12 week scan xxx

Just to confirm i am 'still' pregnant he then asks, how do you know if you are losing a baby - i actually felt shocked that he didnt know this. I said 'the most obvious sign is a bleed' - i felt like sitting him down and educating him on the whole journey of a baby being made - but on the other hand i wanted to punch him in the face as if i am not anxious enough i dont need him wanting me to poas just to confirm to him our baby is still cooking away

When i first found out with a one stop strip, he believed me, but would only really believe it when he saw it in words and now the next thing is seeing the bump - i seriously want to strangle him!

Im 6 weeks and 5 days, so it sounds like i am seeing someone maybe earlier than usual?

With your bloody thinning scenario, does that mean they keep an extra eye on you? xx

 

[Niknaknoo]

Nausea is coming, I don’t feel great this morning. I’ve come to work armed with crackers to get me through.
I definitely craved junk last time, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for craving fruit this time but it’s unlikely!
Well done for getting through the weekend IVW. Men just don’t understand how exhausting it is being pregnant and trying to act normal around people that don’t know, especially in tri 1 when you are nervous/excited/feeling crap.
I saw midwife on Friday, took blood pressure, height, weight, filled in a form, asked about previous pregnancies, asked if I felt safe in my relationship and what hospital I wanted to go to and sent me on my way! Just waiting for letter from hospital as I’ll have full booking in and scan ion same day.

Was this your first appointment? Just wondering what to expect really, even though my sister did give me the low down, i can imagine all places are very different.
