**** April 2019 mummies ****

[pink79]

This is not my first but only my second! My daughter's 4, starting school next month. I am flatter in the morning but by the end of the day I am huge! I am only a size 6-8 with a flat stomach! It's not a case of keeping it hidden until the 12 week scan, that's not happening lol its just a matter of how long I can get away with loose clothing, I can't see me lasting until the end of the month

So im 6 weeks today and i literally feel like dog crap. Just put my son to bed and am now getting ready for bed myself. Have felt sick for half the day, im exhausted and to top it off i have a bad head again!

I will be so glad when the first trimester is over and done with! I would rather give birth every month for the first 12 weeks than feel like this. I feel like ive got the dirtiest hangover!

Is anyone else suffering or just me?

 

[night owl]

Oh no Laura that sounds dreadful! Especially with a little one to look after aswell!

Been having some on and off nausea but I’m only 4+1, I have been exhausted though just want to go to bed for a month, and I’m getting lower back ache on and off all day too which is freaking me out - pain worries me a lot

I’m kind of looking forward to seeing what the next few weeks brings!

Sorry to hear you’re feeling rubbish Laura! I’m really struggling with how to feel just now. I’m only 4 weeks and I’ve been to the doc and they’ve referred me to mw but I feel a bit anxious in this limbo. I’ve read so many people testing and retesting and I really don’t want to obsess but at the same time so many people have bad times and I don’t want to wait until 8 weeks and then realise something is wrong. Please tell me I’m not the only one feeling like this?! This is only my first pregnancy so totally new to all this!!

It’s totally normal to feel like this haylz, I’m struggling too, the first trimester is such limbo and uncertainty and all we can do is wait and see! But the odds are in all of our favours - most pregnancies are successful, I wouldn’t bother testing and retesting, at the end of the day it won’t chsnge the outcome and may lead to unnecessary anxiety, and only Mother Nature has the final say anyway, try not to worry

I’m with you laura, had to go for a lie down after work today!
The sore throat I thought was a cold coming on has developed into a throat infection so lucky me on antibiotics now too
It’s exhausting!

 

[Rubyredslipper]

Definitely normal Haylz. Once you get to 12 weeks it absolutely flies until you get to 8 months then it drags 😂 just enjoy every moment of it, I’m hoping second time round is just as magical!!

 

[HaylzDz]

Thanks Ruby and nightowl, at least I know I’m not a crazy lady! Haha! X

I had my bfp this morning! My app predicts April 11th

I have had really bad stomach ache on and off today. Feels like trapped wind

Is this normal

Yay congratulations jellybean! Yes aches and pains are definitely normal x

 

[violet13]

5 weeks today this is literally the earliest I’ve ever found out! I have been testing daily because I’m paranoid and the lines are still faint which I know is normal at this stage. I guess I’m just worried. Cxx

 

[Niknaknoo]

Welcome jellybean! Congratulations!

I’m feeling ridiculously hormonal today. OH has gone to work with my pushchair, I was going the park and to get some shopping. I’ve not got the energy to sling her AND shopping AND do the return journey up the hill. That’s pissed me off. Then he’s only left 2 slices of ham so there’s nothing in for lunch so I really need to go out but for the same reasons I can’t face it. So that’s pissed me off further. I’ve decided to order a subway in for us both but then I’m pissed off even more because that’s a tenner when I’m really trying not to waste money
I just want to sleep today 😭

I know the feeling. Im super hormonal lately. Since getting my bfp i have completely stopped smoking! (I cut down during ttc, i used to smoke 10-12 a day cut down to about 3 or 4 a day) and since ive completely stopped ive never been so hormonal haha!
My husband has been working away and phoned me to inform me he had dominos for dinner the other night. I literally balled my eyes out. Dominos is my absolute favourite, yet with it being fairly expensive we very rarely have it (maybe once or twice a year). I was so annoyed that he had it without me and rubbed it in my face!
I feel irritable constantly, i feel sorry for anyone i know having to tip toe around me at the moment haha!

 

[Rubyredslipper]

Ugh, it’s such a horrible feeling being so irritable!!! Going into work tomorrow and having to train someone is winding me up so much too. I just want to be left alone.
Well done on quitting, that’s a massive achievement!

Try not to read too much into how dark the test lines are violet different brands of tests put different amounts of dye in them anyway xx

 

[night owl]

Does anyone else have symptoms coming and going? I’m only 4+2 so probably too early for real symptoms anyway but have had nausea coming and going, today I have had none really

 

[Rubyredslipper]

No not yet, save for being really irritable!

 

[JomoMama]

Glad I’m not the only one feeling irritable today! I feel sorry for my colleagues having to work with me today, because I was in such a foul mood! And working in customer service doesn’t make things any easier haha. The worst part is that I can’t even explain to them why I’m so moody because no one at work knows I’m pregnant except for my boss! Ha! I hope everyone feels better soon! Xx

Ok cool thanks! Haven't had any other symptoms except stomach ache and severe tiredness. My boobs haven't changed at all but I guess it's still very early
