So sorry NDH

I feel pretty symptomless at the minute and I'm not sure whether or not I should worry. Maybe not, I'm sure they'll all come back with a vengeance. I feel good. Suspiciously good.

 

[Serenjay]

I had mainly fatigue at 4 weeks.. but all symptoms come and go.. they go and come back stronger.. then go...then come back stronger....

today boobs are hot n sore.. massive fatigue and feel so sick I was hardly able to swallow my pills...

 

[Charmed86]

Has anyone else had a mini freak out? I swear, every evening, I get so freaked out about being pregnant and having a baby! Worried that I can't cope with it all. I'm sure my hormones aren't helping!

My symptoms seem to be coming & going too. I'm tired and hungry more than normal! And so gassy! The worst is the nausea & it's not even bad yet. I'm scared for if it does get bad!

 

[Aliop]

Sorry to read your news NDH xx

AFM, bloating seems to be easing a bit here too. Sickness in waves still but really not too bad at all (which is worrying), dating scan booked for the 19th. I keep thinking I should change it to be sooner!

Who have you all told?

I've only told my best friend and husband so far which is weird as I usually tell my mum, sister and other close friends straight away but this time I'm not actually keen to tell.

 

[apreslaube]

I'm so sorry NDH.


I have had a rough week so far. Yesterday and today I just couldn't get any work done at work. I have so much to do that is basically overdue and it's stressing me out. I'm so tired and I'm just angry and depressed today. I almost cried at work and didn't know why.

I've told Oh and kids obviously , my immediate family (mum,dad,2 bros and 2sisters). My boss and some work colleagues. It's not a massive secret or anything. I'll tell my friends as I see them in person.

With the girls I kept till 12 weeks but I'm so much more relaxed this time. And shit at keeping secrets.

 

[GingerPanda]

Charmed, I totally get the freak out. After all the money, time, blood, sweat, and tears we've put into TTC, now that I think I've finally got a sticky one I'm terrified that I'll be a bad mom! Why can't we just be happy?!



As for who I've told, my husband, obviously. lol Also told my parents, one friend, and my tae kwon do instructors (so they know why I can't do crazy maneuvers or jumping all over the place).

 

[Cariad_x]

I'm so sorry NDH xxx

I've told my OH and my son (not that he understood any). We told A friend from work last night as he asked us to attend something around the due date and was suspicious when we made excuses. He's been sworn to secrecy.

I told my mum straight away with my son but I'm bricking it this time. I think between how quick it's been in to the relationship and how desperate she was for me to get the implant I know she won't take it well. Plus with my losses each time she told me it was "just as well" and I was with FOB for 3 years at that point.. She Seend very set on me never having any more kids despite the fact that I'm nearly 26 and in a steady and secure Job.

 

[GingerPanda]

Cariad, how rude of your mom! I wonder why she feels that way!



I made spaghetti for dinner. It was good, but... It was like I couldn't shovel it into my face fast enough. And at the same time, it was like I wasn't going to keep any of it down.

 

[cheree89]

I've told my DH and my Facebook group from my last pregnancy. We've all become such good friends and I've even gotten together irl with a few of them. Not telling anyone else until I see a hb.

 

[GingerPanda]

Just lost my entire dinner... It was so violent, I had to clean puke off the walls. And my feet. And the bath mat. And my pants...

If this kid is not okay, I am going to be extra upset!

 

[shelby1090]

So sorry NDH

GingerPanda maybe some ginger tea? I use loose leaf ginger and it's spicy and warm and helps naturally with nausea. Hope you feel better soon! I'm scared of wen MS really hits me...

I've only told My DH immediate family and a couple close friends. We will announce more publicly once we feel comfortable.

 

[cheree89]

Oh my GingerPanda...I hope it doesn't get any worse for you.

 

[Dandi]

We've told immediate families, closest friends, and a close aunt. I always said I wouldn't tell a soul when I got pregnant, but we were just so excited after trying for do long that we couldn't contain it.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Gp I'm really sorry. But that did make me chuckle

I've somehow told loads of people our parents, my sisters, Carl's brothers, my boss and my 2 best friends. And now after Friday night three of my colleagues should definitely have stayed home lol

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I haven't told anyone besides my husband. its getting awkward. suddenly everyone wants to have a drink with me! I don't like to say anything to anyone though. My husband told his work colleague though; She knew we were trying though, as she is aswell. So it seemed rude to outright lie to her (she asked how we were "getting on")

I don't have any desire to tell anyone; I'm very private and loath the idea of having to "untell" people . Some people say it's nicer because then you have support. but for me i would hate it! x

 

[tallybee]

Omg cariad that's so rude of your mum! surely she will come round and be happy to be a gran again.

Gp I hope your sickness doesn't get any worse.

I'm not sick at all. Bloating and a bit of nausea yes but no actual sickness. I'm not worried though as I never had sickness with dd. My boobs and belly bloat plus tiredness are all the symptoms I need here lol.

As for telling people we haven't yet. BnB and another close group of Internet friends are the only ones who know so far. Oh is happy for me to take the lead and I'd like to see the 12w scan then announce. It's so hard to keep secret though particularly when friends see me avoiding alcohol and coffee lol. And cigarettes I had to cut short a visit to friends the other day as they were smoking in the house and it made me feel ill.

Eta: my baby development picture thingy on that askbaby site went from the weird tube vagina looking thing to the tadpole looking thing overnight!!!

 

[tallybee]

Thinking about it I'm slightly apprehensive about how my family will take the news, my dad in particular was rather nasty about me being a mum a few years ago, I was struggling after being left high and dry by both fobs and his response was basically I should have been more careful.

I had been so adamant for years that I was done having babies but things change when you meet the right person

My family have all met oh and like him. We'll have been together a year next month. I hope everyone can be happy for us.
