Fantastic! Summertime! I've had 2 scans so far, it's very different how they do things here but my 12 week scan will be on 5th September (nearing 13 weeks) to be honest there's not much to see before then! My little thing looks a bit like a blob at the moment although hearing the heartbeat was amazing!

I totally get it - a hangover that won't go away is definatley the right way to describe how I feel - my poor husband doesn't know whether he's coming and going because I'm snapping and then after feeling so guilty. Does anyone else feel moody as hell!!?

I know it would be too hot for me in Dubai, but a bit more consistency would be nice! Yep, Haworth is about 6 miles away

Ah lovley part of the country! I miss it x

Hey ladies. Hope everyone's doing ok.
Have any of you ladies gone off sex since conceiving? I haven't been up for it since getting my bfp. My OH has tried on numerous occasions but I just couldn't be bothered to be honest. The thought of it alone makes me tired.

Hi guys, I'm new to the section, found out Friday I have a smuggler on board, have had bloods (all rising as they should) and a scan yesterday which puts my EDD as 31st March, back in 2 weeks for a repeat scan so adjustments may happen then. Have decided that instead of being scared due to past experiences I am just going to jump in with both feet and enjoy it! Looking forward to sharing this with you all x

 

[Haylian]

I'm the same sk8, really not fancied it and my boobs are just too sore to be jiggled right now ha!

Welcome Fairycake, it looks like you've been on quite a journey! Congratulations on your pregnancy x

 

[Loveandpeace]

I've found I actually want more sex since being pregnant! And my DH too,it has brought a heightened sense of intimacy for us. Orgasms are way more intense too.
Congratulations fairycake xx

Wow see my sex drive is at an all time low ok it's slowly creeping back up but I'm worried at the same time .. I'm waiting for the doctors appointment where they tell me if they have concerns over my short cervix and being intimate! Being newly single has helped eliminate that aspect but still would be nice to know think I'm one of those if I can't do something I want to do it more. Lol xx

 

[Summertime]

Welcome fairycake I have added your date to the first page. Definitely right to enjoy it, first trivia anxious time but nothing good can come from worrying.

With regard to DTD I'm in the sore boobs/can't be bothered camp! Know I need to start putting out as definitely won't want to when get a big bump and have a newborn!x

Oh yes that's the camp I'm in too lol is anyone else starving at night? Sorry to be random but every night I'm so hungry, to the point my stomach feels empty and growling at me when I have eaten very well ! Xxx

 

[Haylian]

I think I'm getting waves of nausea in the evening and not really wanting to eat much at the minute. I'm starting to really worry my sickness will be as bad as last time , I was sick every day at least once from 7 weeks until the day she was born!

 

[Merry]

I'm definitely in the no thanks, not tonight camp! Have dtd a couple of times despite feeling completely uninterested, but it actually felt very weird down there...hoping this is a temporary thing as poor husband is already starting to feel sorry for himself!

I really feel like time is dragging at the moment, think it's partly because I haven't had any 'official' pregnancy things yet - my booking appointment is on Monday, so hoping that will help! I didn't even find out I was pregnant until almost 6 weeks, it must be even worse for those of you who found out really early!

Hey ladies

I really need some advice

I'm 26, live with my boyfriend (we've been together 7 years). I have my own business and he works in London. I found out on Sunday I'm pregnant and went to the doctors Monday and we worked out I'm about 6 Weeks. I'm in a lot of shock as I was on the pill and also suffer with endometriosis, so to find out I was pregnant was very shocking.

Part of me is really happy and excited and the the other half worries, am I ready? Have we got enough money to live comfortably?This wasn't the plan yet? We was meant to be getting married first? I know a baby is the biggest gift ever, especially for myself as I didn't know I would be able to have one.

I'm just finding it really hard to digest and come to terms with, is this normal? Does anyone else ever feel like this?

Also my sister in law found out she was pregnant a week before me and did the test with me, she's been trying for a while and is super excited, I worry that I'm not as excited as she is. Is this something which will come once I've gotten over the chock? Is it normal to have reservations and feel confused?

Would really appreciate some advice

Thank you and congrats to you all xx

Hi! I honestly think that no matter where you are in life, whether it's planned or not, pregnancy is something that comes as a shock.

I had been off the pill for 6 months and actively trying for most of that time, and when I got my positive test it completely floored me! Excited? Honestly not sure if I'm there yet! I think partly because I'd had no symptoms (even now, I seem to have got off very lightly - fingers crossed!) it just didn't feel real. Don't get me wrong, I'm not regretting it or feeling down about it, but I'm not bouncing off the walls either!

Don't feel bad about feeling like you do - I can't imagine the shock if it was unplanned! Re timing, money etc - the saying goes that there's never a right time. This is my first pregnancy so I'm sure other ladies who already have kids will have more of an insight, but I reckon it's going to massively change your life whenever you have them! We have waited and waited (been married 9 years) to try and find 'the right time', but I can't say we're in a particularly amazing position financially even now. It will work out!

Anyway - welcome, and congratulations!

Hi Slockwood and welcome.

When you're trying for a baby and you get a positive test it is very exciting! You instantly feel joy and excitement and nerves and worry and pretty much every emotion going haha.
You weren't trying and so it's totally understandable that you wouldn't be as excited as your sister in law, you're in shock and that's probably what every woman in your position would feel.

How does your boyfriend feel about it?

What I will say is that everything you just said runs through the mind of a pregnant woman wether they tried for the baby or not

 

[Slockwood]

Thank you ladies, that makes me feel a bit more at ease.

My boyfriend was happy and then had a bit of a melt down yesterday worrying about money and being able to afford things as he was saving for an engagement ring and wanted to get married first.

Now it's my turn to have a bit of a wobble today. All day I've been worrying, is this the right time? Am I ready for this? I'm just finding it hard to come to terms with right now. Does going for an early scan help put your mind at ease?

 

[Merry]

It might - I haven't had one, but I know I'm starting to get impatient for my 12 week scan and see some evidence that it's not my imagination!

 

[Haylian]

I had an early scan with my first pregnancy and it certainly eased my mind, I've booked one today for this pregnancy too. 21st Aug can't come fast enough!

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is well

I'm really struggling with all day nausea and vomiting. I feel so exhausted and wish I could just stay in bed all day but obvs with a child it's not an option. I know that lots of us are going through the same thing so hope you don't mind me just having a moan!!

Oh and the thought of having sex is not appealing to me at the mo unfortunately. I would be worried I would vomit on him

 

[Haylian]

Oh Dee I was like that last time, it's so tiring! Fingers crossed it passes for you soon x

 

[Dee83]

Oh Dee I was like that last time, it's so tiring! Fingers crossed it passes for you soon x

I read what you said about having it for the whole of your last pregnancy, that must have been awful. I had daily vomiting until I was 18 weeks with my son, just hoping it's not going to last so long this time.
Are you not having any sickness in this pregnancy yet? X
