[London Kiwi]

Morning ladies,

Laura how are you feeling today? Bet you're much more relaxed!

Weirdly the one step IC is showing basically no line... If you were only using those to test you'd seriously doubt the result.
But used my FRER this morning, tried so hard to hold out all night but had to pee at 3am, the line is Defo there!

Lucy, I have my fingers crossed for you this cycle!

 

[lucy_smith]

Congratulations!!!! I would def say it's a bfp!!! Omg!!!!
Well I'm away on holiday at the weekend and due back the day before af! So hoping getting some relaxing time in the sun is just what I need
Bd on days 11,12 14 . Didn't test till day 14 when I got a positive opk, so think I stayed my surge on 13/14 so hoping that is enough. ?

Nursern do we have an update for you too?

[London Kiwi]

5 days late now!
I've had one moment of about 10mins in Sainsburys when I felt bloody awful, apart from tender boobs I'm ok! I'm worried about my boobs they are already huge, they don't need any encouragement to grow lol.

I calculated my Due date To be 8th Jan.

Absolutely, Lucy is next!

 

[lucy_smith]

hope morning sickness isnt too bad for you both!

feeling hopefull this month. but i guess i always start out hopefull! :/

 

[laura109]

Mines around the 26th-28th december.

I felt bluddy awful for one day the day after i tested too. Felt crampy etc. it does settle after your period week. Dont be suprised if you get af pains totally normal xx

 

[London Kiwi]

Morning ladies, hope you're well!

All is good here. I'm getting normal AF type cramps like you described Laura... Sore boobs but apart from that feel fine.

Had people over for dinner and drinks, managed to get away with drinking non alcoholic beer and cider without anyone noticing which was great!

We have a wedding in a few weeks, that I'm not going to get away with I don't think.... Will worry about that closer to the time!

My husband is very excited as well as a little paranoid. I feel his paranoid mind is getting in the way of the excitement so I too booked an early scan like you Laura just so he can hear the heartbeat (hopefully it's beating by then!) and maybe make him feel a bit better. We are going on the 17th so I'll be 6 weeks, 2 days then.

Crappy weather again in London today, so think it's a weekend of inside activities, sounds really boring but need to sort our wardrobes out... They are out of control! Ha.

Have a good weekend girls

 

[laura109]

Hi kiwi. The first trimester is always abit scary and hard to relax in. You cant feel anything much other than stretching pains maybe. You feel like you have to hide it as its early days but you often feel you want to talk about your anxiety and worries. I think after the time it has taken you both you are both going to have that extra fear of it being taken away. There is absolutely no reason it wont be ok so just tell your oh everyday the baby is getting a little stronger.

I totally understand after spotting that your body can scare you.

Im on and off queasy and we are still doing our room up. I just want it done now but the wardrobes are a much bigger job than expected and we have no childcare and i cant lift!! We will also be at home this weekend. I cant wait to get the next few weeks out the way and get into the part of pregnancy where you feel good again lol.

Hope you are ok Lucy! We are still here to help you on your journey. You will soon join us i am sure xx

 

[laura109]

P.s great idea to have a scan kiwi it will be a lovely treat for you both to get a glimpse xx

 

[London Kiwi]

Ah no Laura, hope the morning sickness stops soon!! X
I'm in the same position as you, we have a fair bit to do on the house, I have my husband doing all sorts for me today, he's less than impressed haha.

I've had no spotting or sickness (apart from a twenty min dizzy spell in Sainsburys on Monday) so feeling ok so far.

Just cramps and sore boobs... They are a bit veiny today which isn't pretty ha.

Def think I'll feel more relaxed after the scan on 17th.

In the meantime it's a lot of chilling at home. I'm normally always out about and all over the show so this is a huge change! Steak and movie night tonight and no wine....

 

[laura109]

Bless you!!! You might feel abit yucky in a week or so. Id recommend some cheap sickness bands of amazon and get some mints etc in. Ive got allsorts in to ease it abit. Got aromatherapy oil for my wrist a lipbalm to combat morning sickness too lol. With dd i felt queasy till 10-11 weeks then it eased off. Im quite depressed that im only just starting with it lol!!!

Enjoy your steak and have you git any prenatals yet? I recommend boots own in a green box. They contain ginger too. Some good reviews in the website.

Isnt doing houses up a nightmare. Im currently on the sofa whilst oh puts wardrobes up. Dd is in bed too. My sister very kindly had her for the day to give us a break which is rare! Its definitely going to be a challenge looking after a toddler and feeling off. Oh is going to work from home as much as he can which is reassuring for me. Xx

 

[London Kiwi]

Thanks for the tips Laura 😊
I've got pregnacare that I've been taking... Do you think I should take anything additional?

5weeks tomorrow. Still slightly worried something is going to happen but I've decided there is nothing I can do about it so just think positively!

I'm away for work for a night tomorrow so looking forward to having an early night and a huge bed to myself! ... It's the small things! 😉
How are you Lucy?! Officially in the TWW yet?

 

[laura109]

Hi hun sorry for the slow replies!!! Erm i take spatone for extra iron.

How are you feeling?

My goodness i thought i had ms mild but it really reared yesterday and oh had to look after dd whilst i rested!!! I phoned the dr hoping for some medication for nausea but unluckily i got a grumpy female who said she would only prescribe me anything if i got dehydrated!!! Not helpful with a toddler needing me!!!

 

[London Kiwi]

Ah no Laura, hope the nausea settles soon. That's not good that you got someone grumpy when you called the doctor. Why don't you just pop into Boots and chat with a Pharmacist there, they might be able to give you some ideas on what you could take.

I have only had one moment of dizziness this week, so far so good. But I probably shouldn't speak too soon, it might hit me next week.

A friend of mine found out yesterday that she's had a miscarriage, She was around 10weeks - went for a scan and nothing in the sac. I feel terrible for her. Shes ever so positive which is great, but must be hard.
We have our early scan on Weds so fingers crossed we see something. Little anxious now.

I think Lucy is on holiday now... hopefully she's chilling out in the sun and gets that BFP!!

 

[laura109]

Oh no your poor friend! Was it her first? Was it a molar pregnancy? Did she have sickness etc? I cant think of anything more devastating after 10 weeks. Even at 7 weeks ive spent 4 weeks knowing im pregnant.

Time feels like its going slow now but im telling myself i will be soon at 9-10 weeks now just another week and half to go! I think i felt better by then. Unfortunately the chemist only have wrist bands etc a dr needs to give anti nausea medication never mind i will manage im sure. The nausea is with me all day and gets stronger at teatime. Soon be out this icky bit now though i hope.

How many weeks and days are you now hun? I am so excited for you and your scan. Have u had bloods taken to confirm? I am sure you will get to see something with it being private. I think they have the best technology. When i read up on abdominal scans at 6 weeks they said only vaginal scans would work but his machine worked fine. I bet you feel so excited now. Xx

 

[London Kiwi]

Terrible isn't it. I only spoke to her briefly yesterday so don't know all of the details. She said she went for her scan and there was nothing in the sac. The nurse said to her that either the baby stopped growing weeks ago OR she is only just pregnant and its not showing yet. She knows her own cycles and said that she's really regular so no chance of her dates being wrong.

Its got me feeling very paranoid in all honesty. I really don't feel pregnant (I am only 5 weeks 4 days) and I just feel that I'm going to be disappointed at the scan. I haven't been relaxing much either, lots of cleaning and doing bits... I just need to chill out this weekend I think! I imagine if I was getting ms then it would be slightly more reassuring but I don't want that either!! Guess i'll just have to wait until Wednesday to find out.

 

[laura109]

Its usually around 6 weeks. Unfortunately thats an emotion we all go through your not alone but you are pregnant!! Its hard to believe you because you have waited so long. No sickness means nothing. My friend never had it and my other only got in on the evenings. You are not bleeding so you have no reasons to worry dont worry about cleaning do it while you can. I cant face much now and it's driving me mad because theres not enough hours in the day for oh to do it on top of his job. I feel lazy and its awful lol!!! I know ill be back out of it soon though. You will be 6 weeks then for your scan. I bet it feels so exciting because you have wanted this for so long, if theres no heartbet yet its nothing to worry about but the scanning dr will explain it all and out you right at ease enjoy your weekend xx

 

[laura109]

Hard for you to believe you are thats meant to say xxx
