Yeah don't stress over those Clearblue digis. I took one a couple weeks ago because my HCG should have been over 200, and the manufacturer says if it's over 200 the test should say 2-3. Well it said 1-2 and I was freaking out all day. Got my blood results later that day from that morning and my HCG was 267.

Augh, I still have no symptoms, and it's making me uneasy, even though my betas were good. I'm going to be a wreck this whole first trimester.

Hi everyone! Congrats to all.

I am brand new here so still figuring my way around and figuring out the lingo etc.

According to the calculator I am due March 6th, no doctor's appointment yet, but 2 positive tests. Haven't told anyone, not even hubby. We weren't exactly trying, but not NOT trying either.

Okay, hope everyone has a great day!

I'm also checking for blood a lot. I've still been getting cramping, though it is only mild, and no blood so far, so really, I have no reason to worry. I'm also telling myself there is nothing more I can do, and that if all things go well, I will be worrying the rest of the child's life.

Hi everyone

I'd love to join the March Mallows! I got so much support from this forum while pregnant with DD and now, here I am, with a surprise BFP! I just told hubby today and he's still in shock. I don't know if anyone else is having number two and has any feelings of guilt? I just feel like DD (21 months) is still so little and I worry so much about time being taken away from her. Plus, I suffered really badly last time with SPD and was in crutches the last month of my pregnancy. I'm terrified of how I'll cope with an energetic toddler if that happens again. But I also can't help feeling like this was meant to be and I'm excited but really nervous.

Congratulations to you all on your BFPs. Oh, should've said, no doctor appt yet but calculator predicts March 1st. Also, I haven't read all the posts but I've seen a few on spotting. I'm spotting too but I'm not fretting too much as spotted for first 8-10 weeks of my last pregnancy so hoping all is okay this time too. Looking forward to sharing this amazing journey with all you lovely ladies

Welcome punky and Happenstance! Congratulations on your BFPs!
I have had such a hard day today. I have been absolutely exhausted, despite a good night's sleep last night. I had a very hard time getting out of bed this morning, and work was horrible. Now I'm sitting here, too tired to even bother to get supper. Thankfully I have some leftovers for LO, OH can sort himself out, and I'm just gonna relax until OH gets home and I can go to bed. I've also had a lot of MS today. Nothing tasted right, and everything set my tummy off. Despite that, I've been craving all sorts of things. I just can't eat more than one or two bites of whatever it is before it turns my tummy. Not fun!

Congratulations and welcome happenstance and punkybrewster!

Loozle I have that 'I don't know what to eat, but whatever it is I really want to eat it' problem too! I usually resort to eating a few dates or raisins, as that the only thing which doesn't seem to give me any nausea, but it doesn't fulfil the craving!

Can anyone else taste oil really badly? I can taste it in absolutely everything at the mo, really overpowering!

Sorry it's been so rough



I was about to lament you working today, and then I saw your location

Missbx: If only there was a fast forward button. Then again, looking back you will wonder how you got to 40+/- weeks

Loozle: I always check for blood. Just a habit that won't leave me.

punkybrewster: I love your username. Welcome!! Your situation sounds similar to ours. We weren't actively trying but there were no precautions to prevent. I wanted to give going with the flow a try instead of the more rigorous TTc'ing I did for this last pregnancy.

Happenstance: Welcome back!!

Baby brain attack! I was trying to figure out why you would say that about me working today, and then I realized its the 4th! It's okay, this week was a short one, as we had the 1st (Tuesday) off for Canada day. It feels like it should only be Wednesday today, but here it is Friday!!
I just had a bowl of chicken noodle soup for supper. I know I'm not sick with a cold or flu, but it always seems to help settle my tummy anyway. The placebo effect, I'm guessing. It worked....until I went outside to see OH and caught a whiff of the wax he was using to polish the boat. Upset tummy again.

Guys something happened and Google isn't helping so maybe one of you know.
Me and my SO moved today and we just brought over our cat, but he doesn't go in a carrier. In the car ride over he peed in my lap (like his urine touched my vagina). As soon as we got to the house I showered and washed with soap three times to get it all off. I know pregnant women aren't supposed to be around cat stuff... He's an indoor car though, so I don't think he would have contracted a parasite, I should be okay, right?

Hope I do this reply thing right! Thanks, I feel very lucky but also not really prepared. It's not exactly perfect timing....but when is? Congrats to you!

I think you'll be fine. The parasite they worry about that causes toxoplasmosis infection is in the cat feces. Urine is usually sterile, unless the cat had a urinary tract infection. I wouldn't worry too much.

Yep, what she said. Cat pee is gross, but there's nothing in it that's particularly dangerous as long as you had a good wash when you got to the new house. The danger in cats is specifically in their feces, and only if you manage to actually ingest it, and most people who have owned cats in the past have already contracted it and have immunity, and thus it still poses no danger to the baby. Still a nice excuse to make DH clean the litter boxes for 9 months, though

Just did my clear blue digital. Got my 3+ I know it doesn't mean much but these early weeks seem to be going so slowly. It's nice to see the word pregnant too! :-D

 

[dan-o]

Congrats on the 3+ hun!

 

[Missbx]

Just been sick twice this morning I'm 5wks 1 day I guess the sickness is a good sign but it might be a one off not risking going out today so I will stay in and watch the tv x

 

[dan-o]

Ohh I'd love a lazy day like that today! I've got backache this morning, not sure why but it's so annoying. Just wanna lie down, but my kids are super irritable and whingy and not letting me get anything done lol!!

 

[dan-o]

Wonder if we will get some ladies in the second half of March soon? Everyone seem to be in the first week!
