I just want to sit and cry I feel so god damn awfully sick my friend who was a few weeks ahead of me, we loved chatting and moaning about sickness to eachtoher as you do lol well she lost her baby Saturday night 6th miscarriage, I'm so gutted for her, I feel like I can't talk to her about my pregnancy now as I don't want to rub salt in the wound, I'm just trying to be there for her at the moment x

Oh that's terrible I'm so sorry xxxxx your not running salt in her wounds. Just being a good friend should be enough xxxxx

I've also had crazy round ligament pain too. I am sure it didn't come this early last time. That makes me wonder if it's maybe to do with my c-section scarring. Sometimes when i'm not pregnant I sneeze or move funny and i get a sharp pain.

I was at a funeral this morning. A friend of mine committed suicide a couple of weeks ago - awful, awful thing. She was SO intelligent and had such a bright future - was getting married in August. She was only 31. Depression is an awful disease.

I am so sorry about your friend! Depression is hard. I've struggled with it in the past and you can have everything good going on in your life and it's still hard to be happy. It's awful.

I've booked a private scan through Babybond at Mothercare in York. It will cost £99, but it's worth it. I go two weeks today. I CANNOT WAIT!!!

I wish I could get an early scan.. But we can't even do them privately here unless you're already under doctor or midwife care. So I'm going to have to just wait until 12 weeks, if they even do that U/S on me.
FI and I have decided that we will be paying for a private gender scan though. More then likely the week before our wedding, when I'll be 18 weeks. Finding out the gender, then getting married, then going away on our honeymoon. I can't wait.

I saw a cute gender reveal the other day where they cut into their wedding cake the the color inside told them what they were having.

I've seen pictures of that before. It's cute, but I think we want to keep the pregnancy and wedding as separate events.

Hey everyone, I'm kinda freaking out. For the past several hours I've been cramping something awful. It started as lower back pain on the right side, and now I just have this persistent numb/tearing/pulling pain in my lower abdomen. There haven't been any signs of blood yet thankfully and my nausea is hanging in there with a vengeance, but as you can tell I'm pretty worried. It took us 3 years to get this first BFP and I dread anything going wrong.

Doctor appointment is tomorrow, so I guess we'll know then for sure, but right now I'm having a hard time calming down and going to bed. My eyelids are literally drooping from fatigue, but this persistent feeling has me tossing and turning in bed. I really hope there's nothing wrong but I can't help but worry...

 

[pinkpassion]

I'm so sick today and my headaches have come on strong just like when I was pregnant with dd... also my dr called and said my urine culture came back with group B strep so they want me on clindamycin , so I just took my first one... I'm hoping that's not a bad thing, anyone know??? I was GBS + with dd and I knew I'd be this time too just didn't expect it in my urine, no symptoms of uti or anything !!!!! Anyone have any experience ?

 

[anti]

So sorry sausages. I've had 3 of my friends commit suicide. It's just dreadful. I wish people spoke more about depression so that they didn't think that was the only way out.

 

[rollachick]

The Facebook group has gone secret, so if anyone wants the link or an add, send me a PM or add me to Facebook, Brandi Nunes...it's my son as a newborn. Also, let me know if you've sent me a request cuz I don't usually add people I don't know. My ex likes to send his friends or make fake accounts to gain access to mine, so I'm a bit cautious

I added you, sandy goodall, was thinking you myt not add randoms so was waiting till it went secret to ask you to accept me

Thats so sad it will be a hard thing for her to get use to especilly wen you bub was born. I know it was hard for my soster wen she lost a bub and i got preg shortly after but she bounced back and got preg again shortly after. Hope she is ok

 

[FLArmyWife]

Tasha- i'm sorry about your friend. Give it some time and you'll be able to talk to her but for now I think you're doing the right thing just trying to be a good friend.. Hope you feel better soon

 

[dustergrl]

So sorry sausages and tasha. How sad.

Anyone else craving healthy food? My most recent craving is hummus. Thankfully a great source of protein for me; I'm a vegetarian!

Haha that's a good craving.
I've been craving bad foods- today it's been pizza and a BLT sandwich with lots of bacon.
I just opened up some cheese though that I need for dinner and started snacking on some, and now I can't stop. I rarely eat cheese. But this is just so good.

I've been having a dull ache radiating from my right lower pelvic region out to my hip for the last 24 hours. Given that I've had 2 losses in the last 9 months I'm a little apprehensive. I had cramping with all of my other pregnancies but nothing so localised like this. I'm positive that I ovulated from my right ovary as it woke me during the night. I'm just hoping it's a cyst and nothing more sinister. I've made an appointment with my OB for tomorrow to get it checked out. I was hoping to hold off until next week because I'll only be 5 weeks 3 days tomorrow but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

Hope you get some reassurance from your OB!

God I'm struggling with this nausea and sickness. All I want to do is curl up and sleep.
No food appeals to me

Oh God the nausea. Tiredness. Yes. I'm barely staying awake after my kids party day at school - pancake breakfast, magic show, sports day. Whew.

I'm a bit late joining the party I think?
I'm expecting our 8th baby around 10th Feb 😊
Been feeling pretty rubbish with Hyperemedis Gravidarum, but the sickness tablets from Dr are helping. Hoping for an uneventful few months for us all x

Welcome and Congratulations!!

Thank you for adding me to that hun!

Just a quick question ..... How are you ladies getting early scans???? Are you I'm the UK?

I'm 7w0d today and feeling very very very unwell. I would like a scan to see if I'm further or whatnot and just some general reassurance from it

So sorry for your friend. It's a devastating disease indeed.

We are engaged as well, but I don't want to be married until after the baby is born. Keep it separate and go when baby is old enough to stay with grandparents for a bit

I was. Until yesterday. I had to have a donut! But they gave me the wrong kind so I only ate half of it lol. I craved sugar in both my previous pregnancies.

 

[Jaxvipe]

So sorry sausage and Tasha

Ugh my nausea has really set in today and I have this horrible taste in my mouth. Just waiting for DD to go to bed so I can curl up on the couch and watch a movie.

 

[ajarvis]

A couple of super busy days this week. Crampy a bit at the end of both. But only after sitting and resting finally lol. Also I'm employed again! Yay lol. 1 week of summer break off with my kiddos next week then back to the old grind. Good timing so I can build up my maternity hours

Iv been cramping something awfull, way worse than with my daughter.

I was GBS+ with my first and all it ment for me was a round of antibiotics as soon as I got to the hospital when I went into labor! All was good

Nausea was the worst so far for me today too, and I've also got a bad taste in my mouth. Bleh.

Is anyone else grateful we can all gripe to each other about our symptoms because husbands just think we're wusses?

 

[anti]

Brandi I added you on Facebook. I'm Antoinette.

I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow!!! Yay!! Also, my mother is coming to stay for the weekend and I'm hoping we can keep it from her. I'm scared my 3 year old will say something! My mother was so horrible to me with my last pregnancy I'd rather not tell her until after we have a scan/get out of the first tri.

 

[Harleyy]

19th please!!! - Will probs change when I go for a scan

Has anyone pointed out is a leap year next year?!?! That is freaking me out tbh.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Exhaustion, nausea...I hear you ladies there! I have a unquenchable thirst too. Man, I'm just thirsty ALL THE TIME.

I was so exhausted last night that I crashed at 9pm, about 3 hours earlier than normal and feel more tired than usual this morning. Can't wait to have some energy back. I've been craving healthy, but when I eat it, it makes me feel sick, but smelling junk food and fast food makes my nausea disappear. I don't want to eat it though.

Got my next ultrasound date...July 29 for the IPS Screening, and my first OB appointment will be August 19, which seems REALLY far out. I'll be 15 weeks. Doesn't make sense to me to be nearly halfway through my pregnancy before I see an OB, when my first two OB pregnancies were seen by 8 weeks. They were 7 and 9 years ago though, so maybe things changed at that office.

Anyway, have a busy day ahead of me. Won't be on much (if at all) today.

It should be 29th February 2016 so I think you get to pick 28th February or 1st March that's what I've always been told or they might do it by time like first half day 28th second half 1st ..

I could get that day which in fairness would be pretty awesome
