I also had HG with my last pregnancy and hoping to avoid that this time... I had bad MS with my previous 2 but third was way worse. Hoping to avoid that this time... and also, keep it to myself for a while. We always had to tell at 7 weeks because I was so sick. My sister has been trying for her first for a year... and we have a surprise pregnancy after we’re “done” so I’m not looking forward to telling her, I know it will hurt

@doggylover i am sure your friends are nothing but thrilled! The cramps are so normal. I am breastfeeding my 18-month-old too.

@Nixnax happy 4 weeks!

@KylasBaby happy 12 weeks!

@sunnydee glad you missed that storm.

i am scrambling to pack for camping and won’t be back until Sunday - I’ll check in then, have a great weekend!

 

[MrsKatie]

@Reiko_ctu congratulations and welcome! Hope the sickness is manageable for you this time!

 

[doggylover]

each time I announced a pregnancy my SIL said “me too”... it was annoying tbh but it would’ve been silly to not say anything. Then we would’ve found out when, a week later??? And thought why didn’t you just say something before?? I think it’s ok.

Thanks that’s sad about your sister trying for a baby, I’m sure it will be hard for her to hear, but I’m also sure she’ll be thrilled for you. It’s a strange time, I’ve been there myself, and while you are devastated for yourself you are still happy for the other person.

@Reiko_ctu congratulations lovely I no it maybe hard for your sister but I'm sure she will be happy for you xx

probably only a few more weeks of feeling yucky at least! Have you managed to keep the news under wraps so far??

The only thing that sort of makes me feel better is raspberry jelly can't just keep eating that as baby will look like a jelly oh I so hope your right about only a few more weeks of feeling like this, I have managed to keep it quiet for now but I've not been out the house lol xx

 

[Reiko_ctu]

Yes I guess Covid is a good time to keep baby news quiet!! I always look for 14-16 weeks for my sickness to quiet down.

Oh I hope so I've never been like this with my others so this is all new to me lol, I've only just gone back to work after maternity with my last baby I'm actually dreading telling them I'm preg again oh yea it does help but doesn't help my anxiety that's for sure plus I'm starting to show abit aswell xx

 

[Nixnax]

@Reiko_ctu yay you've moved over. Congratulations .

I've not had any sickness yet, but I've woken up feeling dog rough. Like I have a cold coming, foggy headed. Its blowing a gale outside and I just want to curl up in my bed and hide from the world.

My DH has told 2 of his friends and I've told my older brother and a friend. That's it, we arent telling anyone else.

 

[doggylover]

4+5 and my test line now slightly darker than control

apart from my friends (who I wasn’t planning on telling) we haven’t told anyone

It’s exciting when anything develops in the process haha.

I’ve just been for my bloods and urine sample. They were advising getting the flu jab and whooping cough vaccine... time to research!

I booked a private scan for 10 weeks on 12 September! So excited

 

[doggylover]

Very exciting ladies!

funny @WannaBMamma7 i was thinking yesterday about when I’ll be offered the flu vaccine. I haven’t had it my last two pregnancies as they were born in autumn so never pregnant in flu season. I don’t usually go in for flu vaccines (my kids don’t get them either) but wondering whether we should this year with the old corona on the rounds as well. They’re saying it’s being offered to more people to try and alleviate strain on hospitals.

I’ve never had whooping cough vaccine either, but again wondering if I should this time.

 

[tdog]

I always get flu one as I'm diabetic tbh never have a prob with it, the whooping cough I've never got that one but I may do this time xx

I’m not a fan of things like the flu vaccine but I can understand they more vulnerable people need it and I guess we are now more vulnerable! I still think I’m healthy enough to cope with it so might give that one a miss.

I might get the whooping cough one though because apparently it is to build up antibodies to help protect the baby in the first 8 weeks before they get the vaccine. Deffo ask about it

 

[KylasBaby]

I don’t get the flu shot except when pregnant. And I get the whooping cough vaccine prior to birth to protect baby. I also make every adult who will be around baby get it. Not even a little sorry.

Yes the whooping cough is more for baby, I think you get it after 28 weeks. But the incidence of whooping cough where I am is incredibly low, almost zero, so I have never thought it necessary.

But again at the minute I’m not sure whether those things are a way of me doubling down on making sure we stay safe and keep the pressure of the healthcare system. I’m not worried about us catching flu or WC at all, tbh.

Yeah you’re probably right. I might come round to the flu jab by the time I go for my 16 week appointment. That’s when she wants to give me the whooping cough vaccine which seems a little early so I’m confused... back to google! Haha
