2/3/4dpo and going crazy already?!?!

[laurarebecca1]

Oh those that it beyond cute!! Does it feel weird to think that tiny little baby is inside you?

 

[sprite30]

Yes, I'm constantly reminding myself that I am pregnant. Sometimes I forget or think oh no I can't do that I'm pregnant lol. Baby is finally the size of a green olive which is still very small.

 

[laurarebecca1]

Massive difference in 4 weeks though poppyseed to olive!!

Must be amazing to hear the heartbeat; I cannot wait!!!

 

[sprite30]

It's amazing isn't it? That's a pretty big difference. Dh and I are debating whether to start telling ppl or not? We were originally planning to wait until after this appointment to tell but I guess technically your not supposed to tell until after your first trimester but I dont think I can wait that long but I am still nervous to start telling.

Dh should be home shortly so I want to talk to him about it again

 

[laurarebecca1]

I read somewhere that after seeing heartbeat at 8 weeks, there's a 98% chance of a successful pregnancy so I think it would be an okay to tell people. I think I will tell people after my 8 week scan; not everyone but parents and maybe my best friend. Then wait to tell everyone else after 12 week scan.

 

[sprite30]

That's what I was thinking too like I just feel like I'm lying to people who are very close to us right now and it's killing me. And I think it makes it worse that my sil did miscarry at 9 weeks. She ruined it for me lol I'm kidding obviously but my other sil told everyone at 9 weeks and everything worked out for her and no one even batted an eye that she told "early" they were nothing but excited for her so I just feel like now we have this stigma attached it.

Am I worrying about this too much?? I would really like to just tell everyone and stop worrying

 

[laurarebecca1]

I think it's a good time, is dh home yet? Talk to him if you feel comfortable about it then I vote go ahead!!!

I've only got 1 more test left, the clearblue digital; I feel I need to go buy more lol, I need something to do in the mornings!! Help me! (I'm still temping too cos I'm only 16dpo tomorrow!)

 

[sprite30]

He just got home, were gonna wait a couple days. I'm still nervous about it. But I really do just want to get it over with. Lol

I stopped testing at 14 dpiui but that's only bc I had bloodwork done so I completely understand your need to keep testing. You can start spreading them out every couple of days now but don't waste those weeks indicator ones they really aren't very accurate. I'd almost save that until your 100% sure you'll get a 2-3

 

[laurarebecca1]

Aww that's a good idea!!

I know but I can't help it, it's sat on it's own in the bathroom; I think I'll stop testing after tomorrow (for at least a few days!) I might order another pack of clear blue digital and another double pack of frer but we'll see

I'm going to ring the doctors tomorrow and ask their advice about when to book appointment etc so we'll see what they say

 

[sprite30]

Omg I'm going to ring my dh's neck. He's so indecisive. One minute he's like yeah let's start telling and then next minute he's like oh no let's wait until we get tell everyone together.

Then he's like oh we need to start thinking of names and I said we have plenty of time for that we need to find out what were having first and his response was "it's going to come quick. He's like a cross between scared and excited it's driving me crazy. Lol

Well if you end up testing everyday I completely understand. But I think you can get alittle settled in now. I'm so excited for you !!!!

 

[laurarebecca1]

Lol he sounds like an excited child; it's cute!! Don't make a decision if you're both not comfortable, maybe wait a few extra day then?!

We started talking about names last night; when we got into bed, OH touched my tummy and said how's my baby today lol bless him, I said don't worry I'm looking after him lol

I feel I can relax a small amount but I know a lot of things can happen up to 6 weeks, so trying to prepare for the worst as well!

EDIT: got a 1-2 again this morning but lines are much darker inside! have you got your tests still, did you open them up? if so, can you take a photo so i can see the darkness of the lines!

I've booked my first appointment with the midwives (we book straight with them and don't see a doctor ) for next friday so ill be 5+5!

 

[sprite30]

I do still have my tests, I haven't opened them up but I will for you. You'll have to give me some time though I am so hammered at work today but I wanted to check in with you and make sure all was well.

Aww your dh sounds so cute. I wouldn't worry too much. And please please please do not get on bnb and read all the horror stories I made that mistake thinking I would feel comfort in knowing what to expect but it is sooooo not worth it. Please just be naive and in bliss and if something happens you can process it then I think I let all the horror stories rob me of some of my happiness. Enjoy today and enjoy that is is one more step in the right direction.

And honestly I think my dh is letting his sisters situation rob him of his excitement. I can sense the hesitant like if you put it out there you can't take it back. It's funny tho bc we have told a couple people and they are going crazy they knew our appointment was yesterday so I was texting with my sil and she well can I tell yet and I said oh no not yet dh wants to wait until were all together and she said "your killing me" and he called our friend who's wife is on hospice and he said um, your gonna have to make that announcement soon because ppl are asking me if I hear anything yet and I'm not gonna be able to keep this secret much longer lol we went to a bday party with their family on Saturday and I felt like a cow so I'm sure most of them are wondering now lol

 

[laurarebecca1]

thank you and no worries on the time frame!!

GUESS WHAT...i've booked my first scan (see my ticker ) on 1st April at 8+1...in 4 weeks; i cannot wait!!!! :happy dance:

I'm keeping away from the first trimester forum for a little while, if i can just make it to next fridays appointment, all these small milestones are going to help me get through the first semester! The scan place I'm going to is quite cheap so i can see myself having a lot more lol and defo a 4D scan!

awww its sounds like the right time to tell. Remember telling people isn't going to change anything; people say it jinxes it but it doesn't. I go by the phrase whatever will be will be.

I still can't believe i am pregnant...OMG

 

[sprite30]

Yay we have a scan on the same day. I'll have one with the high risk specialist next Monday but my next appt with the regular obgyn won't be until apr 1, yay we can be all excited together. Yay!!

Yes, I totally agree small milestones will make it go quicker. The longer updates are spaced out tends to make the time drag on. But I kinda try to look at it like a cycle. My cycles went crazy fast so why doesn't 4 weeks in pregnancy? It's all about your mindset.

Haha yeah I still feel like that sometimes, it's alittle surreal but it makes it much more exciting that we are pg together. We have been chatting on here for over a year!! Can you believe it?

 

[laurarebecca1]

a whole year wow and now we're bump buddies together its worked out perfectly!!

its so good we've got a scan on the same day, i hope mine is good news! youll be 13 weeks by then; thats scary!! Make sure you post your next scan on here aswell for me to nosey at!!

i took a 4 week bloat picture yesterday because i am going to create a pregnancy diary including photos and scans etc and eventually baby

i know what you mean, each cycle has gone so quickly and now this past week (ive known a whole week now!) has gone by so quickly; i do have a busy week next week though and then its my appointment next friday afternoon!

hows work? i say just do the test pictures after work!! dont disrupt your work for it lol!

 

[sprite30]

Work sucks. They are getting ridiculous with the amount of work they have for us and they won't hire anyone else it's insanity.

I guess I only kept the one that showed 2-3 weeks, wow that test was hard to get apart lol

 

[laurarebecca1]

Top one is Sundays 1-2 and bottom one is today's 1-2; I think I'm so close to 2-3! Might have to go shopping lol and buy some more for Friday and do one again!

Edit: stupid picture, left = Sunday!

Also yeah defo they are ao hard, I cut myself this morning doing it!!

 

[sprite30]

Oh yes, it looks like your very close. I took a bump pic but I had to crop my face out bc I don't think dh would appreciate me putting full pics on the internet so here is the first one. I think I'm slightly bigger than normal but I have always had "a gut" I actually carry most of my weight in my tummy.

 

[sprite30]

Here is a pic from the summer time, a before pic so you can see the difference

Edit: I guess you can't really see much, dh was trying to take a pic of my hair, I had just had it cut at that time.

 

[laurarebecca1]

It is hard to tell when they aren't next to each other, I think by 12 weeks you'll see a big difference! I think you're going to have a lovely baby bump, it'll really suit you lol (weird compliment lol!)

Edit: it's so weird to put a face to a name (well body lol)

I'm not posting mine until after scan but I will keep taking them each week and post them all in one go at week 8!

I don't seem to have any symptoms, apart from on and off cramping, did you have cramping?
