Loving all the scan photo's ladies
I’m not feeling great this week, I’m so emotional and my anxiety is through the roof. Constantly worrying that the baby isn’t growing. I have my first appointment next Thursday with the midwife so hopefully it won’t be too long before I get my can date. Everything is putting me on edge today too, my DD is testing my patience and I’m finding that I’m getting snappy at her which makes her cry and then I start crying. I have absolutely no energy so my house is a mess, I just want to lay in bed all day. I’m so bloated that I’ve had to start wearing my old maternity jeans already my cravings are all over the place too, one minute I want fruit, lots of juicy grapes or strawberries and the next minute I want anything cheesy/creamy, especially cheese toasties! My nausea only seems to stop when I’m eating
Hope everyone else is feeling good. My DD is napping in my bed right now and I’m so tempted to join her

Your symptoms sound reassuringly like baby is growing but totally get your anxiety hopefully midwufe can reassure you next week and wont be that long to wait for you scan then...should be around 12 weeks x

Welcome baby.3, I think it's normal for the symptoms to start to ease slightly around 9 weeks as the placenta takes over, it's different for everyone so try not to worry.

On topic of clothes not fitting, I got the sewing machine out yesterday and turned some old jeans into a denim maternity skirt ... ooo how I love an elastic waistband.

Very creative! Maybe you could start up a new fashion line in recycled clothes into maternity clothes?! I wish i could sew! Have a sewing machine but rarely use ut unless i need to sew something in a long straight line haha!

Welcome baby.3

Oh wow rainbow, wish I was that clever! Would certain save a small fortune in I’ll-fitting maternity clothes.

I just had a lovely accidental two hour nap while my daughter slept! I sat on the sofa to have 5 mins before cracking on with the housework, next thing I know, it’s gone half 12 :O
While I was asleep, I had a really vivid dream that I was having twins.....not the first time I’ve dreamt or thought about it either, eeeek!!

Jenni...i dreamt i was having a girl this week! You never know! Xx

Hi everyone, hoping I can join in, Melly kindly invited me over to join the thread. Some of you may recognise me from my melt down post at the weekend from the control line getting darker on FRER and feeling like my symptoms are going (not like I have many major ones anyway) I was convinced it was over sick with worry having to force myself to eat. i am 6w 4 days today, went for a scan this morning and saw the heartbeat, she said everything is on track for how it should be for now. I had a MMC in September went for a scan at 9.5 weeks and there was no heartbeat baby had stopped growing at 8.5 weeks, it was cutting, I am usually a very string minded confident person but it really has tore me apart, I was also in hospital for a week due to being over stimulated with IVF. I am hoping and praying this time is our time, from now I am going to do my best to be positive for my families sake.

I have read all through this thread and I see some of you writing about not many symptoms / symptoms coming and going, I am exactly the same, the nurse told me today some people are lucky or some people it dont hit until the placenta takes over about 8 weeks xxx

I’m usually right when I have such vivid dreams like that. I dreamt by SIL was pregnant a few years ago, I was absolutely convinced. OH told his mum, she struggled to keep a straight face so we knew straight away! Turns out she’d only just found out herself.
I keep feeling like it is twins, I don’t know why, just something is telling me that there might be more that one in there. Although I know I could be very wrong!! I just knew that I was pregnant every time, days before any tests picked it up (especially this time when it took so long to get a positive!!). I also knew my eldest was a boy and my youngest was a girl, right from the beginning. I also knew I’d miscarried before I’d had any bleeding or symptoms, so maybe this is another of those times when I ‘know’....guess we’ll have to wait and see xxx

 

[Melly41]

Yayyy! Hopefulmum....welcome! Hopefully youll find the support helpful. Think there are a couple of us that have had either mmc or mc so have been worrying about symptons. We are all on this together xx

Hi, nice to see more of us appearing now
Fab news on the scan, it’s so reassuring to see that heartbeat isn’t it.
Sorry for your loss, I hope this is a sticky bean for you xxx

Welcome welcome welcome newbies How're you all feeling?

I've had a good day today, got out, not felt too bad - feel rubbish now I'm back home, maybe something in the air?

As for bloating I'm huuuuuge, popped straight out, but number three hear so maybe my body just wants to get the room ready for the babe, haha Xx

 

[Melly41]

Ive felt a bit better today...not so queasy. Had busy day so tired now! Finish work tomorrow for a week....half term so hoping to go to cairngorms. Its number 3 for me so expecting to show a bit earlier this time. Bloating just in the evenings thankfully so no one raising any eyebrows yet haha! X

 

[rainbow.23]

Welcome hopefulmum, I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage and the OHSS, that sounds horrible. Congrats on that strong heartbeat though! Is it another IVF pregnancy?

Quite a lot of us in this group are (nervously) expecting our rainbow babies, so you're in with a good bunch!

 

[hopefulmum2014]

Thanks ladies its good to have a place to talk as nobody really understands unless they are going through it do they.

This is IVF but its a natural no drugs frozen embryo transfer so (incase you dont know) they put the fertalised 5 day old embryo back in 7 days after ovulation which is approx the right time for implantation if you was trying normally. So I am not on any drugs or anything its like a normal pregnancy. i think that may have been why I was freaking out so much, because when I was preg last time I was tired and boobs hurt a lot more sooner but then I was taking progesterone supplements 3 times a day and injecting blood thinners where I had been so ill.

Sorry for all the loses you ladies have had also, its such a hard thing to deal with, I really dont think there is enough awareness for miscarriage. Here's hoping a positive and healthy pregnancy for us all this time xxxxxx

Welcome to the newcomers and lovely scans ladies. I have been lurking around but not posting much as I've not been wanting to get too excited. I'm 7 weeks today and right on cue started with the actual vomiting so I'm starting to feel more positive. I've been feeling nauseous the last couple of weeks but convinced myself that I could just be making it up. I've got a scan on Saturday (i'm not in the UK) so fingers crossed I'll be able to relax a little (and stop poking my boobs constantly to see if they still hurt!). How are all your symptoms progressing?

Also, how do we upload photos? I will try to upload on Saturday

Hi! I'm 7 weeks today exactly and also not in the uk
Vomiting sounds awful but good signs. Fingers crossed your scan goes well, hun xxx

I feel perfectly fine other than sore boobs. So I've no idea what to think really. Who knows when I'm getting my scan. Ive so much paperwork to get thru and it will be at least two more weeks before I can go to the dr.

As for photos there's a little add attachment button where u can add files I think. X

Of you go to post reply rather than quick reply there is a little paperclip. If you click this and upload photo you can either take photo there and the or upload one from your gallery.

I feel ok other than sore boobs and being tired. Had a distressing dream last night that i was bleeding. Felt quite real....i guess its the increase in hormones. How is everyone else? Xx

 

[Keeponhoping]

Oh my goodness melly, I had the exact same dream that when I woke up, I thought it was over that's how vivid it was! It was horrible! X x

 

[Melly41]

Im pretty sure its bevause there is a progesterone surge around this time....its not nice but i was relieved (as im sire you were) thqt it was just a horrible dream.i guess if anything its a good sign that hormones are increasing? x

 

[Keeponhoping]

I hope so!!! X x

Hi ladies and welcome newbies!!

My sickness and nausea is a bit random! Some days I feel fine then others I’m awful. It deffo helps when I eat but it’s so hard when you feel like you’re going to puke! I’ve gone off so much food too! I can’t cope with meat at all even just the smell!! I’m living on fruit, sweets, ice lollies and ready salted crisps!

My bbs are still sore and have been since before my bfp and I get the odd cramps here and there too. Also my tummy has deffo started to change which is so exciting! I’m 10 weeks today.

We are off to tell my gf’s parents this weekend which may or may not go too well! Oh and I have a lovely sore throat too!

Hope everyone’s ok xx

Oh my word! My list of foods I can still eat is identical to yours, everything is just so unappealing. Good luck with the in-laws, it's always good when you get to bring people to tears (of happiness).
