happy 5 weeks to my EDD buddies: hopefulfor1st, VivianJean, Damita, DenyseGiguere!

 

[KirinM]

Thanks Pink. My doctor has told me they won't refer me until I'm 5 weeks which is really annoying. I undetsrand they won't be able to scan me for a while but they could do blood tests now. I'm going to call the EPU myself tomorrow morning.

 

[silverbell]

That sounds like a good plan, Kirin

Happy 5 weeks to those concerned

I'm feeling very nauseous some days. I feel nauseous most days all the time anyway (due to an IBD), but this is definitely increased so must be Bobble and/or the various hormones I'm on due to the IVF.

My bloated belly is getting bad. Pretty sure this is Bobble and not the hormones, as it's only come on the past week really and worse the past few days. My trousers are a bit tighter.

Biggest symptom for me is struggling to eat the meals I normally do - it's like my tummy isn't as big any more. Just feel really full, really quickly. It's taking a bit of getting used to.

Still can't believe I'm actually pregnant after so long TTC ... I feel so grateful and so happy and so blessed

Lovely to see so many of you here and can't wait to share things here as time goes on.

i dont feel anything sore boobs only.
maybe maybe i feel a little more sticky-out after a meal, but maybe i should be eating "better" foods instead of Thanksgiving feasts for 4 days

 

[Damita]

Thank you

Happy 5 weeks to the others

We are going to tell our parents and siblings on Christmas morning. I'll be about 7 weeks by then, which is when we told them last time (Facebook not until after the 12 week scan!).

Yesterday, I bought a 6-12m t-shirt for our son yesterday. It's got the attached slogan on it. We'll wrap it and leave it til last on Christmas Day, then get our parents to 'help' our son open it.

Aw that sounds like a cute idea

I wanted to do something similar... buttttttt my mother went ahead and told EVERYONE I know -_- I told her because I of losing my father recently, I couldn't stand the thought of losing her and her not knowing, but I strictly told her to wait until our scan to tell anyone else... well within the same day... (probably the same hour) she called and texted every family member and told them -_- even my father's parents who I haven't spoken to since my father's passing... I was actually kind of excited about just showing up during their 4th July party big belly and all as a big surprise since that's the only time we travel to see them, ugh, now they'll be expecting it lol


Well, I guess I get to join you ladies with the MS... I thought, like my other PG, that there would be no MS... well I get out of bed this morning, felt fine, then all of sudden the feeling just came and I went running to the bathroom...

Going to try and make it through the day as I promised DD I'd take her and her brother to go see the movie Frozen as a late birthday gift

We plan on waiting til after the new year at least. I'd like to be closer to 12 wks at least. Plus, I just don't really want to deal with all the raised eyebrows and opinions that we're having #5.

 

[silverbell]

Oh and I meant to say we'll be finding out gender for sure. We've always planned to and I feel it will personally help us both (particularly DH) to bond more, given our situation.

Can't wait until we all start having our scans.

Evening ladies,

Happy 5 weeks to everyone hitting that milestone today; I feel so far behind in these early days ha, it won't matter as much soon when we're talking the different between 32 and 33 weeks, but right not it feels like a marathon!

We went on a school trip today and I am beyond exhausted now! It's going to be hard keeping this pregnancy a secret at work. I want to hold out till 12 weeks, but I reckon people will guess. Particularly as we have our work Christmas do next Friday. People will definitely smell a rat if I'm not drinking wine!

We want to wait till 12 weeks with everyone, but will probably tell our close family at Christmas as they're all round ours for Christmas day. I'll be 7+1 then and hopefully will have had a private scan to confirm a viable pregnancy. If we've seen the heartbeat we'll tell people I reckon.

How's everyone's symptoms today?

I haven't got any really, but it's early days. I didn't have any with my son either, so if I don't get any I won't be concerned. I am more tired than normal and had really flushed cheeks all day!

[hopefulfor1st]

It's 5am my LB screamed til 2am and I just woke up with real bad constipation cramps. I went number 2 then had a little blood on my tp when I wiped the front. Last night the theush was bleeding a little dont know if its still that. Now I can hear Jace crying again :/

 

[LittleMinx]

Evening all x

squirrel .. Yeah the difference between the weeks feels huge at the moment, but i found out at 3+4 and the 2 weeks since then has flown by! Cant quite get my head round the fact that i'm 6 weeks this week ... Still have moments of not believing i'm pregnant, but until a HB is heard or scan i think that's how it will be..

Hopeful how are you now hun? Hope the cm was just the thrush xx

 

[MummyJade]

[KirinM]

Evening ladies,

Managed to get my gp to agree to take some bloods tomorrow but she'll only repeat them in a week but if I have any ectopic symptoms in the meantime I will get a referral to the EPU. Better than nothing I suppose!

I was walking home from work thinking how very not pregnant I'm feeling. It's so strange. Except now I'm home the thought of cooking supper is too much and I'm sat on the sofa feeling shattered!

 

[squirrel.]

Sorry to hear you've got some bleeding Hopeful, how are you now?

[mrsswaffer]

So, the gender prediction test at countdowntopregnancy was right for my son, and is predicting a girl this time, so I hope it's right.

I'm 4 weeks along today! AF didn't show, so it's official! I'm pregnant! Haha! I told management at work today because I'm a nurse, and am expected to participate in the moving and handling of patients and working with some toxic drugs. So now I'm off the hook.

I am also having the heavy feeling in my uterus. It just feels full! I'm getting twinges and pains in my sides above my hips too. Just growing pains, I'm sure.

I made my doctor's appointment today. I go on Wednesday.

 

[squirrel.]

Is anyone else still testing? I wish I could stop!!!! I've got a digital left that I'm going to try to save till Saturday to see if it's gone up to 2-3 weeks, but I have dozens of cheapies that I can't stop using and comparing, which is madness, as this is a rubbish way of trying to gauge the health of a pregnancy!

I'm particularly annoyed at muself this evening, as I took a test this evening after going to the loo loads of times this afternoon (frequent urination has hit!). I'd only been to the loo 45 minutes before, but I still tested! Silly! It's a little fainter than last night's test, I don't know why I do it! Of course it's going to be faint, I just went to the toilet 45 minutes before and I'm only 13dpo. Silly!

Stop testing! Agh!

[KirinM]

Mrs Waffer - pleased (??) to hear you're having similar hip twinges. I have no idea what I'm supposed to feel so just hearing that someone else feels the same is reassuring.

Squirrel - I tested yesterday and have one test left which I'll probably do this week but step away from them. They are just anxiety ridden things!

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Yeah no more spotting now. I've just had a awful night my LB has slept through the night for about 7 months and last night was awful. He screamed until 2-230 having 30min max sleeps, after that I heard him crying but just didn't get up I think he was like "you want a newborn? Ill show u newborn!" Lol
The thrush is just killing me! At least my doc app is in 4 hours.

 

[clynn11]

I had a spot of pink 12 and 14dpo. Happy 5 weeks and 4 weeks to those who swing today!!

I honestly wish I'd get ms. It would be a bit reassuring.

 

[mrsswaffer]

squirrel., I'm testing every morning! I've only got ICs left now, but debating getting a CBD... but they're so expensive!
