Hi,

I can’t believe i’m saying this but I got my BFP. This is my 3rd child. Only been trying for a month. According to Ovia app and my dates. Clear blue was 1 - 2 weeks so i’m about 4 weeks according to first day of cycle. Can you put me down for May 8th. This is when i’m due. Roughly. Xx

 

[ABC237]

Congratulations lollipop!

 

[firstfreakout]

Added you. Congratulations

 

[CockerMum]

Hey ladies,

Thank you for asking. He was actually quite nice! So i am to carry on with my vitamins and folic acid and once I have been for my early scan make an appointment with him again and he will refer to midwife etc. He said he would do it after a few weeks but I said I was happy to wait until after the scan.

Nope no anger, still got poops though

 

[ABC237]

First freak out I have been a bit grumpy too so you’re not alone! �� I also cried the other day because I broke something. Very unlike me, I should have known I was pregnant there and then!

Glad it went ok cockermum. What dates are your early scans ladies? I’m hoping GP will refer me for one because I took some leftover Clomid from my previous visit to the fertility clinic. It gives me a higher risk of multiples so last time I was told I should be scanned early. If they aren’t keen I’ve decided I’ll probably just book one.

 

[CockerMum]

I have booked for 19th sept which makes me 7w1d - I was told around 7w is better on the scan. It’s cost £70 but we’ll worth it.

Ooo do you want twins?

 

[ABC237]

I don’t really want twins, I’m scared enough of having 3!!

Not long until your scan really, although it will probably seem like a long time to you. I find pregnancy weeks seem to take forever, I only found out this weekend I’m pregnant but it seems like forever already!!

 

[CockerMum]

Yeh I get that! Twins would scare the crap out of me.

It’s so long away! I found out a week tomorrow and it’s dragging. I know I shouldn’t wish time away but I really want to have the scan and relax a little

 

[firstfreakout]

My scan is the 8th sept when I’ll be about 6+3 weeks. I booked it just to confirm it’s a viable pregnancy before we told the grandparents on the 9th. But today I told my mum because I’m finding it hard with no one to talk to about it all.

I’ve been really struggling and panicking so I’m hoping this scan might shock me into being calmer hah

 

[CockerMum]

Aww what your mum say?

You guys looking at baby stuff?

 

[ClaireM198989]

Can I join? Got my BFP today. Can you put me down as May 10th please

 

[CockerMum]

Congrats xx

 

[firstfreakout]

Congrats Claire! Got you on the list

My mum was a bit confused tbh. At the beginning of August I told her that me and OH were planning on trying for number 2, so when I told her I was 5 weeks along she was like WHAAAT. I told her I wanted to tell her with the rest of the families at DS's birthing gathering but I couldn't keep it in anymore because I feel so angry. She cried and gave me a hug and we started laughing because it took 2 weeks between deciding to start trying to conceiving. wtf.

How's everyone feeling this morning?

 

[ABC237]

Congratulations Claire, is this your first?

Firstfreakout, glad it went well with your mum. It’s nice to have people to talk to about it. My hubby is great but he doesn’t want to talk about it all the time.

I’m feeling quite tired today. Going to an aqua aerobics class today so hoping that will give me some energy. I’m at work again tomorrow for a long day 14.5 hours. Not sure if I’ll be able to sustain that for long. Does anyone else do long shifts/ hours?

 

[firstfreakout]

Ah enjoy aqua aerobics!
Does being a SAHM count?

I'm a police officer so when I was working during my pregnancy it was awful. I switched to a desk role but still had to investigate crimes and deal with victims so it became very long shifts. Part of why I got signed off at 25 weeks, along with travel issues!

If your shifts are/end up having an impact on your health/pregnancy though make sure you voice them with your employer because by law they have to accommodate for your pregnancy and make sure you're safe! (for example, I wasn't allowed do deal with custody, some people aren't allowed to move heavy objects, etc)

 

[ClaireM198989]

My second! It’s taken over 2 years of TTC so I’m just in school. I work long hours shift work n night shift so I’m definitely going to need a change of hours!

 

[ABC237]

I’m back and survived aqua aerobics, really enjoyed it actually. I’m still exhausted. Just had a nap on the sofa whilst my daughter watched a film and my youngest napped. I know this is a pregnancy symptom, I remember it well from last time. ��

Yeah I will have to see how work goes with the shifts. I work one long shift a week so I can only work 4 days. I really don’t want to give up my extra day off by dropping my long day. ��

 

[CockerMum]

Thankfully currently doing a desk job that’s flexi hours but I was operational in a prison with shifts. Defo say something if they start taking their toll. Losing one of your days off will only be temporary.

I love swimming and water etc.

I am exhausted and my lower back hurts. Think it will be bed early for me lmao! That’s if OH doesn’t get arsey x

 

[Meggiiiii]

Hey everyone! Congrats to you all! I think I’m due may 11th going by my last period xx

 

[CockerMum]

Congrats xx
