Hey all, mind if I join? I've been trying to reserve too much excitement- this is my 3rd pregnancy though I lost the first 2. Finally got my BFP on thanksgiving though and things still seem to be going strong this far so I'm cautiously optimistic! I have my first U/S scheduled on 12/17 and will hopefully have something to show close family by Christmas. I'm waiting to tell most people though until 14 weeks... Explaining another M/C is not something I want to do.
I'm about 5 weeks today and almost threw up when my husband ate a cheeseburger next to me. Sucks to feel sick, but I'm happier about it than not. Means things should be going well! Lol

No ms for me (yet) but my poor boobies are sore now even when I walk quickly and they bouce. When do they get bigger? Hubby is convinced already but I was DD to start with. Plus what actually is a maternity bra?

They can start getting bigger any time now!!! Mine grew hugely and are still pretty huge...
A maternity bra is a bra for breastfeeding in; it has a second wee clip on it to open a flap on the front of the bra so your boob can poke out, but keeps your bra on so you're not actually hanging out!! Lol. They also have no underwire and generally go to big sizes more than regular bras.

Thanks! I just got confused as Marks and Spencers have Maternity Bras and Nursing Bras THe only thing I can find different is maternity bras aren't underwired, but I need the support, especially if they keep growing!

I had a friend work in a lingerie shop and she said back extenders will keep you going for a while. Must ask her for advice.

Both are the same thing I think. And you want to avoid underwires now, as the wire tends to create a pressure point and can lead to blocked ducts etc!!

Hey PeachDaisy, I hope you don't mind but I noticed in your siggy you had to put ttc on hold. We had to wait a year while I was on the Mirena coil as my hysteroscopy showed type 3 (abnormal) cells from my womb lining. Thankfully I got the all clear in August. I just wanted to share as I could never find anyone in the same situation and I wanted to say I'm so glad it worked out for us both.

I trying not to think about it too much but my symptoms seem to be going away. My bbs used to me sore when i walked lol but now they are only slightly sore when i touch them. And i didn't have any nausea this morning. Im also having a lot of TMI discharge. Keep going the bathroom yo check AF hasn't come. Maybe i am just thinking about it too much :/

Welcome Sheffie! I got my bfp on thanksgiving too and based on my o date am due August 10!

I'm sorry you've lost two pregnancies already. I miscarried last spring and know how difficult it is. Morning sickness has been hitting me hard too, but I'm very grateful that it's going as it should be. With my other pregnancy, I miscarried at about six weeks but never had any morning sickness. I'm positive we'll both be getting our rainbows next August!

I'm feeling the same with all you girls... I was driving myself nuts about all the 'what ifs' that I ran out to our local Wal-Mart and got another test... I expecting to get a 2-3weeks but instead I saw this!

What do you girls make of this?

It wasn't FMU either...
First time we tested we had the 1-2 weeks show up on 11/29/13, it's just a week later and now we're getting the 3+!!

DH is dancing around thinking it's multiples, I don't want to get my hopes up but this test really has me wondering now lol

I think it's quite normal for you to have a 3+ seeing as you're over 5 weeks. A week ago you may have been just on the border of 1-2 and 2-3, but it came up on the 1-2 end. The day after it may have been 2-3, lasted for nearly a week and then up to 3+. With my son I got my 3+ at 5+1.

Maybe try a lose sports bra? I bought maternity bras last time. Tbh they're a waste of money. Sooooo expensive!!

I'm going to just buy bigger sized clothes and maybe 1 pair of maternity trousers this time.

I do! I haven't felt a huge change in my boobs, they're just slightly more tender and fuller than usual I guess, but nothing at all like they were my pms weeks while on the pill!

Hi ladies, congratulations to all the new members.

I've got friends staying this weekend and have now done two days (full) of entertaining and socialising without a drink. It's been fun but quite hard to lie so much. I'm sure some of them know as they started talking about babies a lot earlier.

Got a text from my friend telling be she's 13 weeks pregnant. Desperately wanted to tell her but it was her day for news and I didn't want to try and steal her thunder (not to mention I'm so early on at the moment).

Severe nausea hit this morning. I felt like I had a massive hangover and was actually gagging at one point. I think either constantly eating or drinking seems to help.

Hello, is it ok if I join? I am due on 8-14. My husband and I have been TTC for 2 years now and with the help of clomid, we were finally able to get a bfp in July this year but had a mc late August. We got another bfp last week. We have another dr appointment on Monday for more lab work and a ultrasound scheduled on the 23rd. I think once we have the ultrasound on the 23rd things will finally sink in, right now I am hesitant to get too excited.

Congrats to all new ladies with BFPs and welcome over!!!

I'm planning to breastfeed again. I managed to 14 months with my son before my supply ran out. It was also preventing him from sleeping through the night as he would wake for comfort. He had tongue tie when he was born and the first four weeks were pure and utter hell in terms of pain! I would howl and cry every time he latched on and the damage was just hideous! This time I'm getting baby checked by a peadiatrician before we leave hospital. After he had his tongue tie clipped, breastfeeding was a wonderful experience, but I never want a repeat of those first few weeks!

Good for you for sticking with it!!! When feeding my 2nd dd, she cut me open so bad she would spit up blood. Was horrible! Hoping things start out better the 3rd time!!
