Left side yesterday, right today

Definitely a lot darker than the previous tests!

 

[tdog]

@MrsKatie they are definitely darker xx

 

[MrsKatie]

Thanks ladies! I took my last test today, I had one pregmate (IC) left, and saw a little more progression. 4 weeks today. Feels like second tri is forever away but I know how fast it goes.

How is everyone feeling? I'm having way more gagging and food aversions than any other pregnancy. and so early, too. Then the second half of the day I am absolutely ravenous and could eat everything in the house.

One thing that's awesome is I always get STRONG nesting urges immediately, like the day I get a BFP. I am cleaning everything. It'll taper off soon then return with a vengeance at the end, if it follows the trend of my others. But for now I'm happy to ride that wave.

DH has been waiting on me hand and foot, very attentive and doting. Taking over for the kids all day every day. It can't last forever but it's making these scary early days much more enjoyable

 

[doggylover]

@MrsKatie thats so nice that dh is being so attentive! Sorry to hear the mornings are tough for you.

I’m worried and nervous, but also trying to appreciate these days of feeling ok. My sense of smell goes berserk around 6 weeks (last time I couldn’t make the kids packed lunches for school, and couldn’t hug them in the morning!) and my sickness started at 5 weeks last time so I’m just trying to take deep breathes of fresh air while I can, and drink lots of tea as I go off it during pregnancy!

Hey ladies how arw we all feeling? I've been super sick I manage to eat something then feel so sick before and after on the plus side I've just heard babies heartbeat on my doppler I have another scan tomorrow still waiting on midwife to call for my booking in haven't had that yet my 12 week scan should be in the next 3 weeks so I hope she calls soon xx

 

[MrsKatie]

Awww I can’t wait to hear baby’s heartbeat!!! It’s the best thing! My intake phone appointment is at 9ish weeks and I’ll see the midwife in person when I’m 10+6. Feels so far away!

 

[KylasBaby]

Aww that’s great! I’ve caught mine a few times, but even after a quickie bedside ultrasound on Friday where we saw the heart beating and baby being up by my belly button, my OBs doppler couldn’t pick up the heartbeat. So I don’t try much. 12 week ultrasound on Friday!

I was pretty nauseous this AM, but it’s bc i didn’t eat. I ate and it’s gone away. Other than that same old same old. Exhausted, skin sucks, allergies suck lol.

I got an email from the NIPT place today saying they got my sample and I’ll have results in a week! Praying for a healthy baby and that the sneak peek was right and baby is a girl!

@tdog yay for baby’s heartbeat!! It’s always so cool hearing it whenever you want to.

@KylasBaby your scan is so soon!! And can’t wait to hear the news from your NIPT

Afm: not much to report at all. You ladies are making me scared for the crappy parts of the first tri though, and I’m wondering if I thought this through before we got pregnant! But late now though

I always wonder why I thought having a baby was a good idea while I’m in first tri I promised myself I’d enjoy every second of this pregnancy with it being my last but honestly can’t wait to see the back of it and be in second tri

Saaame! First tri just blows.

Hi ladies, I'm tentatively joining here. I got my BFP today at 11DPO. Going by LMP I will be due 28th April. I'm extremely nervous.... i thought I'd be excited. Such a bizarre feeling.

 

[MrsKatie]

Oh @Nixnax so wonderful to see you here!!! I know, I have always hyper focused on getting that bfp, finally gotten the bfp, been over the moon for 8 minutes... and then the panic sets in. It’s so hard. I have found focusing on an intention helps me immensely. The one that resonates for me the most is this:

“I have made my decision, I will go forward with courage.”

This has helped me so much, focusing on sending love to my baby. Every time I start to drown in panic and negativity I think: my baby deserves better than this. My baby deserves to feel all the joy and excitement and good energy in the world. And yours does, too! As do you.

Yay! So happy to see you here! Congratulations again, it’s just wonderful news! Did you tell dh?

Nervousness is absolutely understandable. I’m nervous as well. As we’ve just been saying, the first tri is a strange, and sometimes sucky, time in pregnancy. But it does pass, and the nervousness will ease.

Thank you. That's a really good idea, I will try that. I've woken up all excited today. So I feel that today will be a good day.

I did tell DH, he was very blasé about it. I don't think he believes this is real at the moment. I've only got + on an 10miu IC at the the moment. My other tests are 25 and a digital. My line is a lot darker on the 25 this morning. So he won't have much choice but to believe it later when I show him

What is it with men? My husband was like “oh Ok. That was quick” and hasn’t mentioned it since

show us some more of your tests! I love seeing them!

I took another this morning and it’s now getting quite dark I never did buy any digis or other tests in the end. I still have 12 more ICs to use!

Today’s test and my progression (isn’t it gross to keep sticks with wee on them?!)

@doggylover my DH is the same, he didnt mention it at all yesterday. Men are funny creatures. I sent him the pic of todays tests and I got a smiley face and thumbs up back in reply . I guess I should be happy that it wasn't a crying face .

You asked for it, here are todays tests.... i have a digital for tomorrow, then about 20 ICs . Im not done testing just yet.
