ladies, I'm joining you all, my attentive due date is April 19th, 2020 puts me at 6 weeks today. I will be calling the doctor today to get an "official" ultrasound at 8 weeks or so, since I'm irregular they may want to see me earlier but who knows

Hi ladies, can I join you here please?

I didn’t realise there were due date groups on here, how exciting that I’ve found you all!

I’m due 5th April but waiting to confirm that at the 12 week scan. I’m 8 weeks today, and just sent away my sneakpeek test. Has anybody else here that’s done it from the UK? How long did it take to receive your results? I have 2 boys already, so would be delighted to hear girl this time, though I’m sure we only make boys

Hope you’re all doing well

Congrats! Will add you! I’m not in the UK, but I did a sneak peek. It said girl which I’m not believing until my NIPT results come back through my OB.

Lovely thank you! I just went back a few pages and saw your recent scan pics, I’m sure there is a girl nub first one I’ve looked at about 10,000 nub shots recently so would like to think I’m not bad at guessing!

Oh thank you! Yeah the pics were quite bad, but what can you do. I do hope it’s a girl. I’m a strong believer that kids should have a same sex sibling. Didn’t happen for me lol. Or my mother haha. Hoping to break tradition. Plus I want another girl. DD is very involved in dance and in their training dance team (for those too young for the proper teams) so would be nice to have another girl who can do that too. Though if it’s a boy it will be too lol. The boys dance numbers are always the best! And DD and the baby will be sharing a room so it’s easiest if it’s another girl. I have SO MUCH girl clothes!! I’d need like 12 more girls to get use of it all lol.

Haha i would be the same if I had a girl! I wouldn’t be able to stop buying clothes!! FX for you, when will you get your nipt results?

I can’t wait for my first scan to know everything is ok. We’re not telling anyone until then because we want to tell our kids first and I really want to know it’s ok before we tell them.

Until then, I’m passing the time by obsessing over whether we’re having a boy or a girl. I’ll be checking my emails 100 times a day now until the SneakPeek email comes back!

Hopefully sometime this week. They got my blood over a week ago. Their website says a week, my OB said a week, nurse who drew my blood said 2 weeks. I emailed them last night so hopefully they’ll give me an idea when to expect results. I’ve seen some people saying they’re backed up due to short staffing because of Covid. Hoping they can at least respond with a more accurate time frame.

I told my mom because I work with her. But no one else. Then after my NT scan I told DD and let her tell my dad and my grandparents. Worked out well for me lol.

When’s your first scan? I felt everything was slow until then now it’s gone by faster.

@KitteyKat2010 and @StarryEyes. Welcome to you both

I've been feeling terrible in the mornings. Not sick yet, but hungover... I've been sleeping terribly. Im a front sleeper and boobs are so sore at the moment, every time i roll over I wake up. Any tips for that? Cut them off? .

 

[MrsKatie]

@KitteyKat2010 and @StarryEyes. omg congratulations and welcome!!!

@Nixnax I always get horrible insomnia during pregnancy, I have no advice! I never got sore boobs with my last 5 (!) pregnancies (Probably cause I was/am still nursing) but with my first the breast pain was absolute AGONY. It started at like 3 weeks too. It was crazy.

i have awful food aversions in the morning and have a hard time eating enough breakfast. I’m starving in the morning (and in the middle of the night, which adds to the insomnia) but everything sounds just disgusting. I managed the vanilla Greek yogurt and some tea with heavy cream so I could get some calories in but i am dreading the moment I get hungry again!

One major bonus of camping was not smelling any kitchen/ house smells. That’s bugging me again.

Mostly I’m just so weepy and irritable, short with DH and the kids Everything feels overwhelming and I feel so guilty for expecting another baby when I feel like I’m not doing what I need to do for the family I already have. It’s a Horrible, horrible feeling. I’m also dead exhausted by like 8pm and DH has to clean up and take over bedtime and I just hate feeling so useless and crabby.

@Reiko_ctu so sorry lovely sending you massive hugs xx

Sorry you’re feeling so unwell. Do you normally have bad sickness?

THE SMELLS!!!! I was just coming on here to ask if anyone else is dealing with sense of smell in overdrive. Mine goes BERSERK in pregnancy and I am standing in our utility room (laundry room) shouting “what is that smell?!” Every two seconds. My husband is continually answering “there is no smell”. Which is pretty much every convo we have in first tri

Try not to feel bad about feeling unwell. This is temporary. Yes it’s maybe a strain on your dh and maybe your kids see you a bit more irritable. But it won’t last. They won’t be irreparably damaged. And what they (and you!) get out of it is so worth it. You’re doing you best. I know from experience how shitty it feels not to even feel like you can properly care for them as you’re so unwell in pregnancy. But it will pass.

 

[MrsKatie]

@doggylover thanks so much honey. The horrible guilt is hormonal too I just hate feeling like I’m one more strain on the family instead of a help. I’m the mom!!

omg yes I keep smelling phantom cat pee and rotten broccoli. The fridge smells awful, everything smells awful!!!

you’re the mum, but a family is made up of lots of people, and sometimes one person needs a little more looking after than usual.

everything does smell awful

did you say you are still breastfeeding your youngest? How is that going? Usually around 7/8 weeks I start getting really bad nursing aversion and have to stop feeding. It was ok with my older ones as I had already day and night weaned then, it was just feeds before nap and bed. But my current nursling is still naps, bedtime and allll night. I managed to cut out day feeds last week, but I’m dreading night weaning her as she is so stubborn and will be a nightmare. I’m feeding her for bed now and she has a bad cold and can’t feed and breathe and she just said “other boobie, mummy. This boobie broken” not sure if it’s because she’s stuffed up or my supply has dropped?

 

[Nixnax]

I havent had the joy of smells yet... im not looking forward to that one.

Ah bless you hun. There is only so much you can do. They'll all be so pleased when baby is here. Im glad this is my first as my DH is useless. He doesn't do anything unless he's asked. I'll be writing him lists soon im sure.

[MrsKatie]

Thanks ladies DH is the most selfless and helpful person ever and I am grateful for him every day, I just feel terrible taking advantage of him. I know he’s tired too at the end of the day though he’d never say it.

my symptoms are crazy today, I am so hungry but just can’t stomach much of anything, and I am so SO weepy and irritable and just EVERYTHING smells awful everywhere!

@alex_22 oooh are you having a boy or a girl?! So exciting!

I feel exactly the same! Ive had to strip all of my sofa down and wash it today because it’s the only thing I haven’t cleaned and Im sick of whatever smell I can constantly smell in my living room, I’m constantly hungry but feel sick at the thought of food, we’re having a little girl (I hope haha)
