My maternity/nursing bra came today. It's just for around the house and overnight, to see if it helps a little with the soreness. They tend to hurt most when I take my bra off, and when I get up after lying down for a long time, so I'm hoping the bra will stabilize things a bit without being too uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep on my stomach for the first time last night (I'm usually a side sleeper, but I have stomach nights now and then), so the timing is good. I'll report back on whether it helps.

Ooooh that's so exciting! Mine don't hurt that much - just the actual nipples; they're a little more red/purple. But overall the bbs are okay right now. Not even THAT much bigger, which I was kinda looking forward too, but maybe it's still too early? My mom said she'd buy me a maternity bra once I needed one, and I was hoping maybe I'd need one by now, but alas! I think getting to buy pregnancy stuff sounds so fun! I ordered some prenatal DVDs, Tracy Anderson: The Pregnancy Project, I hope they're good. I had started POP Pilates (Blogilates) two weeks before BFP, and the workouts are too intense now.

Yay for the bra I actually been thinkin about clothing a lot lately as most of my pants only just fit me before I put on any weight lol so I'm gonna need some maternity clothes, dnt know if il need a bra didn't for #1 lol

By coincidence, I had an appointment scheduled with a fertility doctor today, and I got a scan! Baby is measuring at 5w5d, which is spot on if you go by my o date, instead of my LMP. I guess I need to update my ticker, I'm not quite a sweet pea yet!

 

[hanni]

My OH is too cute!
He asked if I wanted anything and I said some dairylea cheese on toast. He replied "you can't have that, you're not allowed soft cheese"
Err that's not quite what it means love!
Although I could kill for some feta right now. 😍😍
I think cheese is definitely becoming a craving of mine.

Okay seriously I NEED some feta cheese. 😓

Anyone else having any cravings?

 

[MamaTex]

Happenstance: Good luck with your doctor's appointment. Hopefully you can get a scan to see what is going on.

Millhaven: Sounds like a very nice appointment !!! sounds like a very helpful practioner!!

MrsKChicago: Woo hoo for comfortable bras. I have some simple cotton ones for when/if mine start hurting .Last time my nipples put me through the ringer. hot showers helped as did massage, but man did they burn!!!

madtowngirl: Wonderful news about the scan!!

hanni: I don't have any major cravings yet. I do love cheese!!

sooooo names names....For a girl, I am thinking Melody, Willow, Sofie. For a boy, I am thinking Duke Lee, Austin (named after one of my favorite cities in Texas), and Denny so far...

Today for me has been pretty good. I was hit with light headedness right before I went in for my blood draw. It continued through the afternoon. We went to eat after the blood draw and it was hard to enjoy my burger because I was dizzy. I feel better now that I am at home, but the light headedness starts up all over again when I move around too much. It's weird because yesterday I was fine, for the most part. Can't wait for my doctor appointment this Thursday. It will be the first.

This thread moves so fast its hard to keep up.. My Boobs are so sore more then ever I've had dizzy spells all day and got a slight headache I was sick once a few days ago but nothing since so I don't know when I will get sickness. Got my booking appointment with the midwife on 23rd July ( day before my birthday)

 

[kgriffin]

Hanni you can have feta as long as the milk is pasteurized

 

[Mas1118]

Im also very very constipated!! Im on high doses of progesterone though because of the FET. I take 2 promethium 3x day and 3 suppositories a day I drink a medium size glass of prune juice every morning and before bed. It helps somewhat but holy gas!!! Im like a balloon slowy letting air out - toot, toot, toot!

Ive also been lightheaded on and off - it makes you feel so weird, off balance and shaky. Sometimes I feel better after eating, or should I say stuffing my face! Im starving a lot!! I have nausea here and there - mostly after dinner and in the middle of the night . My back hurts every morning, I pee every hr or so, and I am TIRED! Loving every minute of it though

Names - DH and I finally agreed on a girl name - Keira Danielle or Keira Ann(we have an 11 yr old son already, so a girl would be lovely - but a healthy baby either way is all that matters) and for a boy.....we haven't agreed, lol! I like Sam (Samuel) and he doesn't. We have lots of boys in our family so boy names are hard. Dominic is nice and we both kind of like that.

I was very sorry to hear of those who left the thread

Yeah, she was very kind and funny. I think we'll get along just fine.

Sorry to hear about the dizziness! It can be quite scary, especially if it lasts for a while. I can get extremely dizzy when I get a migraine. The only thing that keeps me from almost fainting is to lay down with a wet towel on my head. And drink water. Hope it doesn't last long!

+1 So sorry to hear that. FX that the next try will bring a BFP again.

Hanni - why can't you have feta? I work in a dairy as QA and do all the lab testing on our cheese and milk. Feta is a fairly low pH and shouldn't be considered high risk for pathogens. If you like Goat Feta Cheese - Woolwich Dairy Goat's Milk Feta in Brine is excellent! and a product in a brine is safer as it is a natural preservative. Brie and other ripened soft cheeses are higher risks.

I just read on the NHS website that you couldn't? It didn't really go into any specifics though. Ooo this is good news, thank you!

 

[hanni]

Just went back and checked and it totally read it wrong!! This makes me so happy.
And here's me laughing at my OH 😳 blaming it on baby brain.

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Oh wow this ls totally crazy n freaky what iv just realised. My sister is currently pregnant expecting #2 2days after my dds bday so what was the likelyhood that I would get preg expecting #2 also but get this, I'm due on her dds bday

 

[MrsKChicago]

That's so funny, mummy smurf!

Feta is totally fine. I believe any pasteurized cheese is safe, but some doctors advise against veiny cheese because the mold might be dangerous. In the US, at least, just about any cheese you buy in a supermarket will be pasteurized. Our laws are very strict about pasteurization. I'm not being terribly strict about some of the food poisoning risks. I'll still eat coldcuts, and soft serve ice cream, and soft cheese, and stuff like that, as long as it came from a trustworthy source and hasn't been sitting out in the sun or something. I've never had food poisoning in my life, I have a very strong stomach, so I'm not too concerned about all of a sudden being super sensitive.

This is the bra I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002K6F79Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I can't wear it outside or anything, it's not very supportive, but I haven't actually grown in size much (thank god, they're big enough already), so my normal bras are fine, and I lost a lot of weight over the last couple years, so I still have a couple in bigger sizes I can use in a pinch. I just took a nap in it and felt fine getting back up, so I'm really hoping it'll help overnight. I toss and turn a lot, and it's only a matter of time til any big shift starts to hurt. Oddly enough, my actual nipples are just fine. I can't wait to buy real maternity clothes, too. For now, I've only gained maybe 2 or 3 pounds (the inevitable result of quitting Weight Watchers), and it's been so hot, I've mostly been wearing skirts with stretchy waistbands.

 

[missfrick]

Anyone gain any weight yet? I got BFPS at 4+1, and I think I've put on a lb or two already, in less than 2 weeks? And I have serious bloat I think I'm looking 4 months along already! And this is my first.... Maybe twins? Lol!

 

[madtowngirl]

I've actually lost a little weight, which is probably due to the fact that I'm eating things like salads and not drinking soda or alcohol, lol.

I'm a diet coke addict! I have 2 a day at most, but I know I need to stop. I'm also drinking at LEAST 8 glasses of water a day. But we've been eating horribly since we've been moving, so I am not eating like I usually do... ugh!
