Sorry been mia the rental I’m in flooded ankles deep last night (I repel houses now car drove in ours, hotel we are staying in gets burgled and now the rental we stayed in got flooded (over a metre of water outside so surprised it wasn’t worse!) but while rushing to grab anything electrical to move up to higher ground I fell down the stairs. Got an early scan today and thankfully baby was fine could see the heartbeat. Husband couldn’t come in and they wouldn’t give a picture but least all is good.

Ugh that’s not fun. Glad baby is okay! I fell right on my belly early 30 something weeks and DD was fine. They’re well protected. Rest up today!!

11 weeks today! First appointment with my OB tomorrow with a bedside ultrasound. Hoping she’ll let me record it. I’ve caught baby a few times on Doppler, but she’s s good hider. HR is usually in the 160s.

Oh no what a scary time so glad all is well with baby but oh no with the flooding and stuff xx

Hi ladies! I am due April 24! Just got my bfp yesterday night. I was nervous cause my line on the frer is significantly lighter today but the IC line is significantly darker so I just have to step away from the tests and send love to this baby. Congratulations everyone!

Hi ladies! Just got my bfp an hour ago due date calculator puts my due date at April 26th, but I’ll be having a section so will be April 19th or thereabouts.

this will be baby no4, and it is only cycle 1 of ttc so I’m in total shock. DD1 and DD2 took 6 months each, but DS was a sneaky surprise so I’m assuming already this one is a boy! I had bad sickness in my 3rd pregnancy so I’m enjoying the next week or so just in case I get it again.

I hope you’re all keeping well, I can’t wait to join you on the journey (although I feel so far behind you all!)

Congrats!! I’ll put down the 26th then until you get a date? Or do you want me to put the 19th?

26th is good Thanks! Even though I know it’ll be here earlier it will still be the real due date. Plus will feel like I’m cheating and getting them out early

Yey congratulations lovely so so happy for you, I'd be delivering early aswell xx

 

[MrsKatie]

I am not on Facebook so I hope we can stay on here too!

i just gave all the rest of my HPTs to DH to hide them, I can’t keep obsessing over lines. Just sending baby love and grateful for lots of symptoms.

i made my first 2 appointments, a nurse intake (phone) September 21 and in-person with the midwife who delivered my older son on October 2. Feels so far away but I know time will fly.

I can’t wait to join you on the journey (although I feel so far behind you all!)

gosh I get that I joined in right when I found out at 3.5 weeks (like 9dpo?) things inch along at that point! People were posting about sickness and early scans and my period wasn’t even due for days (I scheduled my first scan for 8w over a month ago- finally less than a week away! Haha)


But this pregnancy has been weird for me. Everything seems to be happening waaaaay sooner. Clothes are super uncomfortable and weight is ballooning (I know bloat and slow digestion, but it’s absurd), so much sicker than before, lots of RLP, I actually felt something uncomfortable when lifting that I didn’t get till midway through previous pregnancies... I’m still in my early 30s but I hope this isn’t going to be the theme for being pregnant in my 30s instead of my 20s! It’s tough! (My last was just over 4 years ago)

 

[doggylover]

Thanks @tdog!

@MrsKatie that’s so exciting!! Getting the ball rolling makes it all seem so real.

@SCgirl ub oh don’t say that! Now I’m worried I’m gonna start all the bad bits of pregnancy ASAP! I had bad sickness last time, and I get quite bad sciatica as well around 16 weeks so hopefully no earlier! This will be my last and I just turned 34 so hoping it won’t be too bad!

I’m going to phone the dr today as I need to be on high dose folic acid due to a family history of spina bifida. I’m assuming they’ll then refer me to hospital as well for my 12 week scan. Seems forever away though!

 

[TTCBean]

I still don't even have my midwife appointment scheduled. I've been in contact with her but she hasn't said anything about scheduling. Hmm! I don't remember when I saw her for my boys.

 

[sunnydee]

3rd pregnancy definitely already seems harder, maybe it is being older! This week has been difficult and I'm going camping tomorrow for a week I have no idea how I will get through it without everyone finding out.
I don't enjoy any food at the moment, the only thing I want to eat is cheese and crackers / bread. And I'm so bloated and uncomfortable. Probably from all the bread haha
Any tips to get through camping?

 

[MrsKatie]

@doggylover, be sure to take the active form of folic acid (folate/methylfolate)!! Thorne brand has a great high-dose option.

4 weeks tomorrow, sooooo early. I talked to the nurse today about getting beta hcg tests, and she said there's no need unless I'm bleeding or having severe cramps, and otherwise they just "assume everything is going well". I'll have to follow her lead. These early days are so hard!!! The BFP is so exciting and then it's on to the next worry. So glad DH hid my HPTs. I might take another next week just to make sure it's super dark.

How is everyone feeling? I'm getting waves of gagging and some nausea, and starving but nothing sounds good. Very early for those, but I'll take it.

 

[MrsKatie]

@sunnydee, we are going camping on Friday! so excited!! I'll just bring lots of food options. I think you'll have a great time, it's easier to be camping than to be at home, no laundry or housework to do haha. Bring tons of water. Cream cheese and bagels. You'll have a great time.

I'm 38 and this is my 6th pregnancy (4 living kids) so I'm right there with you.

How old is everyone? and how many kids at home?

 

[doggylover]

@sunnydee we are going camping next weekend. I would say make sure you have lots of whatever food is making you feel ok at the minute for sure. Who all are you going with? Will there be an expectation of drinking alcohol? If not, hopefully people may not notice. Try and mention a few times you had a bad night of sleep and aren’t feeling good because of it and hopefully that’ll throw them off the scent we are going camping next weekend.

@MrsKatie thanks for the info on the folate. I’ll have to check that with my dr. Annoyingly I missed their call today (only phone appointments because of covid) and they never got back to me. So have to sort it on Monday instead. I’m so glad you’re at the army point with me, I’m not 4 weeks until Monday and these early days are long and difficult!

I may have said before but I’m 34 and have 3 kids already (7, 4.5 and 22months).
