I have had this from the very start
It was the one symptom that made my oh think I was pregnant as I had it with dd too. It is really painful and has woken me up at night a couple of times this week.
 
We always said we wouldn't Co-sleep but dd had horrible colic and reflux and it was the only way we got any sleep in the first 6 weeks. We also put her on a pillow between us so she was up
higher. We then got a nature's nest hammock and she adored it! On the first night she slept 4 hours straight which was unheard of :) She stayes in there until nearly 7 months when she went in her own room.
 
Hey ladies
After then only seeing a sac and a yolk at my last ultrasound, when we worked out I was 6+3 by ovulation, I have booked a private scan for this coming Thursday. I should be 7+5 by then and am hoping and praying that there has been some progression and we can see a heartbeat.
Please send good wishes for me and Squishy. I feel like my symptoms have ramped up a lot in the last few days, so that is comforting. I hope that the reason I feel so tired is that Squishy is having a growth spurt!
I have hope in the fact that they said it could just be too early. It is in the right place, and there was a yolk and yolk usually = baby. I just hope little squishy continues to develop and gives us a good show on Thursday so that my DP and I can stop worrying ourselves stupid!
 
I'm not planning to co-sleep as well. Baby's crib can be rolled into every room so will be used during the day for nap times so baby gets used to sleeping in it at night.

However, my mum who will be spending the first few months with us to help with the baby loves to co-sleep and has done that for all her kids and grandchildren. I'm fine with her doing that as well.

I believe to co-sleep or not co-sleep is a personal choice for each family (what works best) and is not a measure of how much you love your kids or your spouse.
 
Good luck for Thursday Laura. Has there been any more bleeding since. I think the increase in symptoms must be a good sign and is what I am clinging to as well right now. My scan is on Tuesday so fingers crossed for both of us xxx
 
I had another tiny little bit of spotting after a BM, but it was just such a small amount. Apart from that nothing. Good luck on Tuesday!
 
Hatethewait85 and Laura, sending lots of positive vibes your way.

I'm past the day on which I miscarried in my previous pregnancy :). Threw up for the first time today, yay. Love pregnancy symptoms, hoping for the best.

Laura, good luck to you! I'm sure everything is just fine :)

Chimama, well said.

Maisie- Thank you for that hammock idea! It looks so amazing and comfy. I'm totally going to show this to DH.
 
We don't plan on cosleeping. DS slept in his crib since his first day home, and we just kept the crib in our room until he was about 6 months. Then he got his own room. We've been lucky because he's alway been a really good sleeper- his dad's genes I guess. ;)
 
I've been reading lots of home birth stories lately. I found this page which has really interesting statistics on it:

https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/home-natural-birthing/255340-home-birthers-hopefuls-53.html

And I know someone here mentioned my situation would be perfect for a home birth because I live 3 min from the hospital. Now I'm wondering if I'd have to ask my landlord. It's not like there's a clause in the rental agreement that says "not allowed to give birth in the apartment" hahaha... and I fully believe I'd be able to clean up the mess completely... hmm. Anyway I'm sharing this doc with my hubby and mom to get their opinions. I'm one of those who initially is scared of the idea, but then again, I am not well educated on the subject yet.
 
Home birth sounds so wonderful! Honestly i don't think I'd ask the landlord... I'd just make sure i cleaned up. It's not like it's illegal like running a business in an apartment. I think of you ask, you might just get an answer based on the landlord's fear or unfamiliarity on the subject. I've read with the right preparation it's not too bad of a mess :)

I'm not a candidate for home birth due to being high risk but after giving birth in the hospital, i can imagine what a relief and comfort it would be to birth at home. Keep us updated on what you decide!
 
Best of luck to you Laura. All sounds very promising. I have my scan tomorrow morning. Nervous isnt the word! All they had with me was a sac and a dot when I thought I was 7 weeks. :/
 
Thanks xx I won't be getting much sleep tonight

sorry I haven't been too chatty today, I was crazy busy!

Bridget: I have to set a daily reminder on my phone to remember to take my vitamin, otherwise I won't remember at all.

On the subject of co-sleeping, I never thought I would do it and when I was pregnant with my daughter I got a beautiful crib... and she never used it :haha: then when I had my son (my daughters previous crib was turned into a toddler bed), we bought a bassinet for him knowing he would be moved into our bed after a while.... and he used it only once. This baby most likely wont want to be in a crib/bassinet either. Everyone I know tells me that what I do is extremely dangerous and I do get very scared hearing all the horror stories... but both my children were absolutely MISERABLE in a crib/bassinet and wouldn't sleep for any longer than 20 minutes (and their crib/bassinet were RIGHT next to my bed, literally up against it) unless they were skin to skin with me. Both my deliveries at the hospital, I got NO sleep at all for the 2 nights straight because hospital policy does NOT allow co-sleeping (because the beds aren't made for it) and my babies would scream miserably if I put them in that little glass crib thing... that and I refused to let them take them to the baby nursery lol. Not that I don't trust them or anything... it's just when you spend 9 months literally connected to your child, it's scary and sad to let them out of your site.
