So midwife said to get an ultrasound lol likely new but best to confirm i . Quickest way to confirm is go to a walk-in for a requisitio . So off I go tomorro .

AFTG; Fingers crossed! Mostly I want a healthy baby ( always feel like you have to say it don't ya ? haha) but secondly I would love a little girl All these boys are stinking out my bathroom! and I need a shopping buddy. A boy would be easier though, in terms of room arrangements and clothing etc. Who cares about easy though.. I want to buy some bloody dresses!

I agree with you, I am greatly out numbered, and yes sure it would be easier and less money...... But buying something girly sure would be nice.

Rhi, I'm glad you've decided to stay positive! Hopefully those lines will darken up for you!

Ajarvis, let us know how the scan goes!

Here's to hoping all our beans are digging in deep!



I'm 5 weeks today, and think I've started getting round ligament pain? It seems early, but it only happens if I make a quick movement or after BD. It's a quick, tight, stretching pain, then it goes away. This is earlier than I got it with my other pregnancies.

Awwe xxx yea I feel hugely lucky having one of each already, I really want to find out the gender at the first opportunity this time. I didn't with the others, waited till they were born! I want to be able to buy cute stuff either way. October Halloween stuff ftw lol but I won't be able to wait that long lol. In terms of room arrangements whatever happens i will need to finish the loft conversion, it's been floored etc but needs heating and proper stairs as opposed tothe Ramsey ladder which is there now. Baby will have cot in my room to start with anyway so there's time to think about it and the previous owners did the flooring etc which is hugely helpful!

rhi I hope you get a stronger line soon!

pinching and pulling is good ladies! The little bean is snuggling right in

I'm in a house of boys too! With 4 nephews and 1 niece ha. Another boy would be easy, but buying girly stuff for a change could be nice too

AFM this morning no AF Thanks for the well wishes. I'll have to go to walkin and then book the scan. So hopefully it doesn't take too long, but I guess if it does then there will be more to see. They usually like dating scans to happen around 8 weeks though as they're more accurate, but midwife agrees that for my peace of mind we should just get it right away. hopefully the walk-in isn't busy. I hate going where sick people are lol. Don't want to catch anything.

Hi im 42 and 1mc 6 chemicals, we only done the deed once this time and BFP as I had lost in December and didnt want to try again.

sore boobs tired and stopped testing at 15dpo with strong test.. im now 23dpo 4 weeks 6 days due on October 4th

Im on 5mg folic acid and 75mg Aspirin as requested by consultant. I have my 1st scan on Feb 9th at the EPAU on advice from my consultant.xx

 

[Serenjay]

I keep getting cramping down there and not sure its baby or constipation!! suffering with constipation so badly. Is anyone else having that problem?

 

[GingerPanda]

Definitely having constipation issues here!

I'm making chili for dinner tonight, and tostadas for dinner tomorrow night, so hopefully that will help.



As for the pain sensations, I guess I'm already having round ligament pain!

 

[ajarvis]

no constipation, but I drink a TON of water lol. Also find a morning tea helps get things moving.

 

[Serenjay]

Oh gosh yes... I cant stop drinking... I have drank around 4 pints of Ribena and water today already....

Here are some of my tests.. top left 9DPO top right 11DPO bottom left 13DPO and bottom right 15DPO I stopped at that point I thought there is no way I am playing with anymore tests...

My breast pain comes and goes.. worryingly.. and I get an odd metal taste every so often.. no MS and I have had really bad MS on all my grown up kids but cant remember how far gone. I've not really had any aversions and I have tried to eat richer foods to help with constipation, the Channa Dhansak helped 4 days ago but nothing since Maybe I need to have that again

I got to what I thought was 6 weeks on the 1st mc with my partner, I have 3 grown up kids 24-21-15 and we have none together.. I had Never had never worried about pregnancy when I was having them.. I started losing around 6 weeks and scan showed nothing there and rest came away over 3 days.. the other 6 were chemicals on or within a day or 2 after af was due. My losses were heavy and painful.. my last one was Christmas just gone I even had retained products they thought and put me on antibiotics so I was on them and only a few days away from bleeding and pain when we done the deed.. as I was bleeding from start to finish around 9 days. I really never thought it would get me pregnant as I was adamant no more and just wanted to see how my body recovered after the last one.. I just happened to ovulate a few days before normal too.. that was to this day the only time we BD as we tried around 7dpo and I found my cervix was way too painful and stopped.. in fact the thought of it is bringing back the pain I felt.. maybe that was something to do with pregnancy?

We have gone from bunnies to nun & monk. but until I know for sure what is happening im not doing a thing.

I have a scan 9th Feb and I feel sick to stomach.. as I wont even test anymore and im thinking what if I go there and there is nothing there??????xx

 

[Serenjay]

I've just read through all of the thread.. 3boys I hope you were wrong and all is well..

Good luck to us all with BFP's Im trying not to get excited.. in fact im more neutral than excited...

Today was my stay in bed day.. I am up from 6.45am and in work and not home till 5pm mon-friday so I deserve my stay in bed and do bugger all..

 

[apreslaube]

I'm October 1st.

 

[tallybee]

Hi Serenjay.

I'm getting constipation as well which isn't usually an issue for me, usually the other end of the scale lol. Good luck with scan hun.xx

 

[Serenjay]

Thank you Tally... hope it sorts itself out for you.. I went out for an Indian meal tonight hope that helps haha! xx

 

[tallybee]

Thanks xx I eat a ton of fresh salad so by rights I should not be constipated lol. I hope the curry sorts you out

 

[allforthegirl]

I have the worst gas. I feel like I could be a tank gas for ballons at a birthday party. This is horribly embarraing. I look like ADD cause I am always getting up from seat to either pee or fluff.

 

[tallybee]

I'm bad with gas too. Thankfully all my salad seems to have paid off and I got some relief from the constipation

 

[Serenjay]

Hi girls... My stomach is massive.. its been 6 days since loo I feel so sluggish and slow. Im back in work tomorrow so I need some of this to go before then!!!

I have tried a hot curry!! Fruit, pune juice, Raisins, sultanas, bran, wholemeal bread. I think the thing that may work is a McDonalds Milkshake as I just remembered that sometimes helps me to go.. the Banana one... I will try that later and let you know if it works lol

Today I am 5 weeks.. I have been debating putting a Ticker up.. but just thought I may just go ahead and show people that my little one is around.. it's still a secret (apart from OH telling his flaming Hairdresser!!!! I thought only women gossiped and confided in the hairdresser.. not men!

My boobs are definitely there this morning in my Bra... im having to go and buy new ones. Im no longer able to wear my trousers or jeans as the bloat has taken control.. So I have had to buy a pile of dresses for work! They knew I had a Mc in dec but are starting to look at me with my pot belly. There are 5 pregnant girls in our office out of around 40 people and they are all due around the times I was due my babies.. as I was pregnant a lot last yr. I lost 7 in 18 months.

It was hard listening to them talking about the babies but now this one is still sticking around it's made it a bit easier if you know what I mean. I won't be telling them until im around 18 weeks as I need to renew my contract.

How are you all?? x

 

[allforthegirl]

Good morning ladies.....my baby has been getting up before 6am for the last couple weeks. The further and further I get into this pg the more I am ready to fall asleep at 6pm. Yesterday I had to go for a nap at 5pm just so I could watch a movie with dh.

As for the bloating it has been worse for me in the past but it is still early....I am sure by the end of next week I will look 4 months pg. It always seems to be that way....though I should mention I still look three months pg from my nearly one yr old

No constipation here.....don't usually have that during pg. I usually have good movements.....I have IBS so I am glad to have regular movements

Going to call the Dr tomorrow. I really wanted to wait for the weekend to go past cause my lines just are so pale in comparison to my last pg. So I didn't want to show up to my GP and they test and say that there is no line....

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I feel fine.... I never really feel anything this early on i.e gas etc. Have a slight stitch. Confused about how edd works.... i know when i go to see the midwife she will ask me me my lmp dates... that puts me at 5 weeks today. However my period was only due today! and i know when I got pregnant... (only dtd once) Do these dates make any difference long term? I always go two weeks over. Now I'm wondering if it's cos my dates are always ruined my basing it on lmp. I know the scan can change your dates but mine never have lol..... am i confused?! ahah
