Hi girls how are you all doing.

I GOT A BFP!!!!!!!!!!!

Last cycle I was two days late, so I used my last normal test and it came up BFN, so I only had one clearblue digital left. This cycle my temps were all over the place, my chart didn't even pick up my ovulation. However I was late again, but I didn't want to use my clearblu in case it was BFN again. When I was 5 days late I went to buy the cheapest I could find. It was the casette kind were you have to but droplets of pee on using a pipette. I also used a timer for 5 minutes and covered it with tissue so I couldn't see beforehand. After 5 minutes it was blank not even a control line, so I put a few drops more on it. I bought two so I took that one two and also put drops on it to make sure. That's when I saw the BFP's, I immediately took the clearblu digi as wel and it also gave me a BFP with 2-3 weeks. This was yesterday.
I didn't have any symptoms at all this cycle, I've had more symptoms during my BFN cycles. Since I took the test yesterday I have been feeling some cramps and the inside of my stomach feels warm. So now I'm worried. I'm going to call the doctors tomorrow to schedule an ultrasound, I know I'm going to drive myself insane the next few weeks.

I'm also thinking about telling at least one person at work, because I work with dangerous chemicals and I need everyone to be very careful from now on.

Omg omg omg yeay!!!!!!!!

Congrats sweetie you must be soooo thrilled!!

Don't worry about cramps unless you have serious pain and bleeding. I've read cramping is usually to be expected unless severe,

You won't be able to see much until about 7-7 and half weeks as the baby is too small to see the heartbeat. Try and hold out otherwise it'll be wasted.

What do you do for a living?? Xxxxx
Can you tell I'm excited for you?

 

[Tatemp]

Thanks, I'm so excited. I think the hospital will inform me of the best day to make an appointment.

I work in R&D on a chemical lab in the coatings department. I make resins which is a major component in coatings. My research is centered on trying to incorporate more bio-based ingredients in the resins. We have a young team no one has kids yet, plus I'm the only female. So this will be new for all of us. LOL. I know they'll support me when I tell them, but I want to wait till at least the first ultrasound before telling everyone.

Nanino looks like time to change the title of our convo

 

[Nanninoo]

Thanks jannah im feeling ok I have less than 6 weeks to go now which has flown by people/strangers keep asking me how long have I got left as I look massive when I say 6 weeks they always looked surprised I'm hoping he comes early as I think he is a bigger baby compared to my first....I had a growth scan at 32w4ds and they said he's already around the 5lb 8oz mark, I have another growth scan in a few weeks and to get my induction date as I'm being induced at term so he should be here by end of November...just sorting out the last bits and bobs, hospital bags all packed and ready just a waiting game now!
I've renamed the group jannah didn't know what to name it so is that ok?

[Jannah K]

Wow it feels like yday when we all were stressing over ttc...good luck Hun...I hope both u and baby are healthy and everything goes smoothly for u....
Perfect name of the group
What do u keep in hospital bag?diapers, baby clothes, baby blanket, swaddle, your clothes, pads, baby bottle, powder milk(I guess if u don't produce milk right away), baby wipes, breast pads,...lol..this is all new so most of this I got from reading on google....car seat!

 

[Nanninoo]

Thanks jannah I'm hoping the labour goes as easily as it can be as with my first I had a long and difficult labour I was violently sick throughout the whole process, I ended up having a crash team running in the room and they nearly rushed me into theatre they ended up doing fetal blood sampling as baby was distressed plus I had a 3rd degree tear and the pain was horrific but what you get at the end of it all is so worth it you forget all the drama you went through! Just hoping this time it's a lot easier fingers crossed!!
Yes all of those things you mentioned plus much more lol I have two hospital bags full to the brim one full of my stuff and the other babys stuff I always pack way too much but I like to be prepared incase I have a c-sec and stay in hospital for a longer than expected! There are lots of baby sites advising what to pack in your hospital bag which is very useful I used mothercare and boots check lists so have a look I recommended it x

 

[Phoenix82]

Nanninoo I'm panicking!!!

I've got a bad cold, blowing my nose a billion times a day but I went to the loo and had malty coloured cm (only one bit about 10p size) and I haven't seen anymore in the last hour or so but should I worry??? Xxx

 

[Jannah K]

U ok Phoenix?did u call your dr? Check baby heartbeat using Doppler
I hope nothing to worry about

It was the smallest amount of light brown cm once yesterday afternoon but boy did I panic

I'm ok - haven't slept thought as every slight sensation I'm checking if the cm is brown or normal

I spoke to the midwife at my local birth centre who said as it stands they are not concerned but if it gets heavier or changes to pink or red I'd have to go to A&E.

It just scares me that I'm half way on Monday and could still have probs. I thought the 12 week thing was the biggest fear but now being so attach to my Peanut I couldn't imagine if things did work out.

Dopler appeared normal

 

[Nanninoo]

Phoenix I wouldn't worry hun stay calm and relax in pregnancy it's common to have thick mucus yellow/browny coloured cm especially when you've had a cold sneezing, coughing and blowing your nose will put pressure down below and make more cm come away I had the same I have to wear a panty liner daily as I'm always wet with cm down below its common to have more than normal discharge/cm like you said as long as it's not red then don't worry everything will be ok x

Thanks sweetie

I've had loads of cm while pregnant, it's just the biscuit/beige bits I've had once yesterday and once today but I'm full of cold so like you said it must be that.

The annoying thing is the midwife said that wouldn't cause it! How can that be possible when I'm sure it must be especially as you say it happens. Xx

 

[Nanninoo]

It definatly cause pressure down below hun the littlest cough or sneeze makes me wee myself so I have to wear panty liners (tmi) I've had a few colds with this pregnancy and had snot colour mucus/cm when I've been to the toilet and wiped so it's very common and I've heard lots of ladies have it as long as it's not red don't worry x

Thanks sweetie, you really helped me to stop worrying, not like the midwife!!!! I don't know is not helpful lol


You are a star, how are you feeling now?? Not long

 

[Nanninoo]

No problem hun glad to be of some reassurance I agree midwives arnt always helpful mine told me off for using my doppler very early on at 12 weeks saying what I thought was the baby's heartbeat was proberly my own even though I knew my heartbeat wasn't 150bpm and it was the baby's they just don't like us being right they think they always know best!!
I'm ok just really tired I have no energy even walking up and down the stairs makes me out of breath and having to run around after a toddler is hard enough! Bad back and sleepless nights I just can't get comfortable aswell as the frequent toilet trips feels like I pee every 5mins I would be happy if he arrives any day now as I'm ready and done with being pregnant the 3rd tri is definatly the toughest about 4 weeks 6 days left to go now!
When's your scan is it the 28th? X
