[bloominbroody]

Hello ladies & more newbies!!
My cold is deffo on the way out woohoo! My skin is calming down too so i don't feel like a right minger so much lol!
Im really into apple juice atm, also cramps aren't as bad as yesterday.

So glad some of u ladies are realising that testing won't make a difference but make u worry x

I've figured how im gonna break the news now.
Once I've had my 12wk scan mid January I'll post it up on Facebook with the rhyme "roses are red, violets are blue, we're having a baby, its due in # months!"
Or something like that lol x

 

[Crystal5483]

Bloomin ---- why don't you end with "we're having a baby, in August we're due!"

Then it still rhymes? I'm a sucker for rhyme! lol

 

[lolpants]

Yes it needs to rhyme! I'm a stickler for that too

I cried my eyes out at Charlie winning I'm a celeb last night and being reunited with her daughter - and we had friends here (embarrassing!)

Have work now and then bowling after - my OH was all 'don't pick up heavy balls' etc!

Have a great day Ladies!

Lol xx

 

[JenzyKY]

My face is getting better too! I felt like a 12 year old. I feel a lot better the last few days.

 

[bloominbroody]

So I've got a whirlwind of stress going on in my life right now (mainly family members being utter *******s). Anyway, everytime something happens I get so pissed off, then try & calm down because I don't want my stress to affect the pregnancy. Thing is, everyday there's a new thing that makes it even worse, I keep thinking they can't do worse but they clearly can.
Anyway, my point is, what do you ladies do to keep calm? Breathing exercises? Herbs? Meditation? Any suggestions welcome, I need them! X

@Bloomin, that is a really cute way to announce your pregnancy!!! I like it!!

@Ready, thanks for updating the first page with my info hun!!

@Cord, sorry about all of the stress in your life right now hun!! I hope things get better. Big hugs to you!! My #1 stress reliver is to go for a nice long walk, i love hiking in the woods. I always feel somuch calmer after going for a nice walk!!

AFM, I am still testing daily right now because I am still in my early days. I got my first ever dark pink second line on a FRER this morning in the 3 years I have been TTC!! I literally started crying tears of joy. I did a FRER 2 days ago and the line was super faint, but today it was nice and dark so that was a nice progression!!! I felt like this is finally the real thing and it is official I am pregnant, no more doubting and no way it could be the trigger shot in my system anymore!! I added the new tests to my journal if anyone wants to peek at my tests. The link is in my siggy!!

My face looks good too, not a pimple, so redness, doesn't feel dry at the same time. And I as well drink a lot of apple juice.

This morning I was trying to swallow a vitamin, but just couldn't. So I had to cut it in tiny little pieces and that was still hard to swallow.

How sore are your breasts? Mine are bad if I wear a bra, and right after I take it off. But after a long time without it they just feel full and just a tiny bit sore. I also don't think they grew much, just became fuller.

Sorry girls that I am testing. I know that I shouldn't, and that if something goes wrong there is nothing I can do. But the first time around my tests we never consistently darker (I miscarried), the second time it was a chemical, so it was super-light all the time. So this time, after getting a good progression, I cannot stop testing, because I am too scared that it will go away.

Are consistently light lines something to be worried about then? I just assumed it was normal....mine are still faint...

Just took a nice shower and now I feel nauseous/queasy

 

[bloominbroody]

come on show ur bloat pics!

Xxx

 

[JenzyKY]

I'm going to take one in front of the tree today! You can obviously see it in my photo booth pics from the wedding last night too. My juice instead of a drink worked! I guess they just thought I gained weight...

 

[charlie00134]

I think everyone's tests are different so some people might get a nice progression whilst others just have positive

 

[bloominbroody]

That's good jenzy, we're at the stage of 'oh she's gained weight!' & ppl don't wanna ask questions incase they're wrong. Yeah show us a pic !

 

[Sooz]

Err, yesterday my MIL pulled my DH aside and asked if I was pregnant as I apparently have 'a bit of a tum on me'.

He said no but Im mortified at the implication! I dont even think Im that bloated and I always measured small with DD.

I wont do pics until 12 weeks like last time.

 

[wannabeprego]

@Bloomin, cute bump pics!! I think I might wait until I am at 5 weeks to take my first bloat/bump pic. Although my belly is already bloated now!!! LOL. In my case it might be because my ovaries are still swollen from my IVF cycle though.

I have also been having alot of cramping and my breasts have been tender on and off.

Quick Question... When do you girls go in for your first OB appointments? Is it normally at 8 weeks?

My blood work is this Wednesday to look at my HCG numbers and after that is done I am going to make an appointment with an OB. I was just curious about when I would get seen the first time.

 

[JenzyKY]

I am going for a screening appt on Tuesday. They didn't ask how far along I was. I think I go in with the OB around 8 weeks to get an ultrasound. A friend on Facebook with the same insurance/doctor group just put pics up of that time frame.

 

[borr.dg.baby]

I will be taking a bloat picture later on today and put it up I am going for my first scan at 5+6, next friday!

 

[JenzyKY]

Sooz that is so rude of her!! None of her business no matter if you gain a few pounds or if you are pregnant!
