@tdog omg the INSOMNIA! It is so so so awful!!!

Definitely I feel tired now but can guarantee I'll go bed and nope and my boobs tonight wow so heavy and sore xx

 

[KylasBaby]

The insomnia is pretty typical for me during pregnancy. I had it nasty with DD. This time too. I take Benadryl every bight which does help me sleep. The last week or so has been knocking me out quicker, but I’ve been waking up between 3-5 unable to go back to sleep. So I’m sleepy all day lol. Though it’s not so bad since I’ve started taking b-12. It’s a water solvable vitamin do you can’t take too much. Hoping I won’t need it too much longer though.

@ tdog I had restless legs in the days before my BFP. It is the worst.

My tired is tired today, waking up tired is horrible. You feel it all day. I promised my friend I'd visit her tonight, all I want to do is sleep.

me!! I ordered it late Tuesday night and it arrived Thursday I did it and posted it the same day And had my results early hours Tuesday morning like 12:45am, i got my sample received email Monday night about 7pm, if you posted it today I’d expect results by Thursday

Oooh that’s quick! Thank you, I can’t wait to see what they say!! I’m convinced I’m having a girl, but I have no basis for that - so I’m fully expecting a boy

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!

Oh bless you! You’re not taking advantage of him, and he will know that. Sometimes the other one has to pull a bit more weight around the house / with the kids etc and it’s ok. Because when you’re feeling better you’ll be able to again, and I’m sure there’ll be times when you need to do more for him.

@doggylover no I have never suffered this bad with my other pregnancies so its all new to me, I have restless legs aswell so no matter where I sleep my legs are p'ing me off and insomnia wow never had it either but my this one is making it known ill have everything xx

Omg restless legs!! I have this so bad! Apparently drinking tonic water helps, I've tried it and sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. But I also recently read to take magnesium. So you’ve reminded me that I need to get some today!

Can't stand tonic water so that's me buggered lol, will have to have a look into magnesium xx

If you have restless legs try giving up bananas. My FIL (obviously not pregnant ) used to have really awful restless legs and as soon as he stopped eating bananas it stopped.

Sounds like some of you are really suffering in various ways. Hopefully these things ease off ASAP.

I just have a few hours of mild nausea every day. Which I am so thankful for atm. I’m waiting for it to hit badly like it did last time

Is this going to absolutely 100% be anyone’s last baby? My husband has sad absolutely no more, so one of the conditions of us ttc was that I get my tubes tied during my section. I feel happy enough with that, I think 4 is right for us.

I don't really eat bananas anyway I was supose to get my tubes tied in march but due to lockdown didn't go ahead then we decided one more, I'm going to see if can opt for a section to get tubes tied at same time this is our last baby xx

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

Welcome! I have the same EDD atm! Also waiting to confirm this at our first scan

@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? .

urgh I had this so bad. The only thing that helped was a sports bra type bra to keep them in place so they didn’t move as much. Weirdly they’re no where near as bad as they were from weeks 5-7 and it’s almost gone in week 8.


Sorry I’ve not messaged for a couple days. Been busy at work and been literally getting into bed with toast as soon as I get home. Had about 2 weeks of just not being able to stomach anything and all of a sudden today I feel so much better. I’ve still got heart burn but I’ll take that instead of the nausea and sore boobs.

Also, I had a call from the doctor today saying my routine urine sample showed that I have a bladder infection and they want me to take antibiotics. I’m really surprised as I have absolutely no symptoms and I know what it’s like as i get them regularly. I’ve asked for a phone call as I really don’t want to take the antibiotics unless I have to.... they always lead me on a vicious cycle of getting thrush and catching all sorts with a weakened immune system. Anyone had anything like this before?

 

[MrsKatie]

@WannaBMamma7 I would hesitate on the antibiotic for sure, especially since it seems to cause so many issues for you. I hear so often of pregnant women being treated for UTIs when they have literally zero symptoms and the whole thing makes me very suspicious. Obviously I’m not a doctor but why would women suddenly have no symptoms of utis while pregnant???

I ordered some cheapies, could not resist. This line makes me so happy!!!

 

[playgirl666]

Hi can i plz join, just found out yesterday im pregnant with baby 5, due around April 27th x

 

[playgirl666]

Heres my test, the line came up straight away x

 

[doggylover]

That’s a super strong line @MrsKatie! And glad to see I’m not the only one still testing!

welcome @playgirl666 im due 26th April so very close no denying you’re pregnant with that line!

 

[Nixnax]

@WannaBMamma7 thank you for the tip, I'll try that tonight. I wouldnt want the antibiotics either, not if you don't have symptoms. Thrush is the worst. Pregnancy is hard enough without thrush thrown in for good measure.

@MrsKatie yay dye stealer

@playgirl666 wonderful line, welcome

I'm finding that I have to have a nap after work, but last night when i went to bed properly I couldn't sleep until well past midnight.

Oh no I really feel for you - I get such bad sciatica in pregnancy. With my son I could hardly walk. And actually the wee sods have wrecked me so much that I now have sciatica on and off all the time, whereas I’d never had it before babies.

I've had sciatica for years but since about a week ago it's been so bad I don't no where to sit where to lay or what to do dreading when get bigger xx

 

[KylasBaby]

My OB has my NIPT results....my portal on the labs website says they sent them over an hour before the office closed yesterday. I’m gonna wait a bit, but if they haven’t called by this afternoon I’m calling. Results will be available in the labs page tomorrow.

Great news that baby is lovely and healthy, and delighted for you to be having another little girl! Congratulations!

Try an ice pack on your sciatica. I saw a physio in my second pregnancy who recommended it and it always helps me. She said it reduces the swelling round the nerve.

AFM: today is 5 weeks 2 Days. That’s when my sickness started with no3, and lasted until third tri. I’ve been dreading today, even though it’s unlikely that it would happen again on the same day.

I’ve felt sick all day
