A set of twins in this group would be awesome.

Had my dr appt. He was SO much nicer, I am so glad I swapped. All blood test results came back great. He has told me to wait til 8 weeks to book my scan in. Going to see if I can do a weekend scan and I’ll book it tomorrow so I have something to count down to.

That's great Buffy that your husband watches the kids while you work out. Can't remember who said their gym had a daycare but that's nice too! My son hates daycare of any kind so that limits my options a lot.

Anyone else feeling extremely cold? This happened in my other two pregnancies too. I always thought I was going to be overly warm, but no. When I'm pregnant I'm freezing constantly. Also I had a terrible nose bleed this morning for no apparent reason. I never get nose bleeds

I’ve been very cold, but also diagnosed hypothyroid so it could be that. My last pregnancy I didn’t have that symptom but it was also June/July and the middle of summer, now it’s November and cold here!

 

[Buffyx]

At this stage I'm neither hot or cold. And I honestly dont remember in my last pregnancies being overly hot or cold either! We are coming in to Summer now, so I imagine I'll be hot soon enough

Today was a long and draining day for me. Definitely feeling the fatigue. DS goes to bed in half an hour and DH is home in 45mins from work. Counting down the minutes..

Starry - I am so glad you've found a much nicer Doctor.

 

[StarryEyed88]

Thanks Buffy. I hope your counting down went quickly.

Livvy definitely not feeling the cold over here. I live in Brisbane and it’s warm all year round mostly. Plus we’re moving into summer. I’m definitely glad I’ll be heavily pregnant in winter and not summer!
I have been having extremely vivid dreams though. All types of crazy dreams. It’s the weirdest thing.

I really suffered with my first pregnancy in the summer. On the plus side we don’t have to hide our lovely bumps under layers of jumpers and a coat

 

[TexMel]

Livvy - I am constantly cold, which is not normal for me! I live in Texas, so it being in the 50s lately is "cold" to me and I end up with many layers of clothes on every day!

Does anyone else think it’s going super slow? Bad thing about finding out 5 days before AF was due lol I literally cannot wait until the 5th to make it more official

 

[ameeann]

Hey all, expecting baby number 3,i think July 16th but that'll probably change tbh, either way I'll be having an early c section!

Baby 3 was a whoopsie, we were planning on trying next year for another but I guess it was taken out of our hands... We have a severely disabled 9 month old little boy and a 5 year old lb, currently really overwhelmed tbh, happy and not taking it for granted but kinda like... AHHHHHHH internally xD

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Aww, congratulations

 

[ToriTami]

Congrats to all the newcomers!

Unique, you are not the only one! I didn't even test until 14 dpiui, and it's crawling along for me. I can't believe it's only been 2 weeks since my bfp! I swear I'm in a time warp.

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Once the 12 week scan comes by it’s a breeze

 

[Buffyx]

Yep. It is DRAGGING. I have my dating scan Friday. I just want it over with. I absolutely hate first tri (even though I know that at no point are you "safe" during pregnancy) and I just want it done with. I want the scan, but at the same time I am terrified.

Hi Ameeann Welcome!

 

[Alligator]

Oh yes time is dragging by!! Everyday seems like a week. It’s crazy!

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Definitely

 

[ameeann]

I don't even know how far I am really! I'm so eager to know haha think I'll be booking a private scan for what I think is 8 weeks!

 

[StarryEyed88]

I feel like it’s dragging as well! I found out well before AF was due. Each week ticks over on a Saturday so it makes the work week drag too

 

[Buffyx]

Mine ticks over on a Thursday. I found at at 9dpo. Uuuugh.

 

[eppgirl]

I feel like mine is flying by, but slow at the same time. Possibly because I didn’t find out until I was 5 weeks, and I was working, so the weeks were going by fast then.
My boss and I decided it would be best if I left now for multiple reasons, since I haven’t been with the company for a year, in the event that I was put on bed rest I wouldn’t be guaranteed a job when I could come back, I also wouldn’t be guaranteed a job after the maternity leave was over as well. Plus I’m “allergic” to the lights and it was all just becoming to much and it was putting me and baby in danger.
Hoping I can find a job somewhere else that would be more lenient but it’s not looking great at this point.

 

[Matherese]

Totally dragging for me too! I found out really early this time so I'm only 4.5. Seems like it's taking forever. I joked to my husband we could have twins because I beat the control line on my test 2 days after AF was due! I'm going to guess girl. My last was a boy and I knew it right away. I'm feeling a bit different this time and based on when I ovulated I think a girl is a good possibility.
