[razorhips]

Morning ladies! Welcome to leesa73, pumpkim,Danuta, Lady-K, Awww and congratulations on your BFP's - it's exciting isn't it! I am still taking tests as I still find it unbelievable and get worried something's wrong but each day that passes I get a little more relaxed and more excited! Hope everyone has a good day today

Morning ladies!

Hearttree, I was awoke last night by dull cramping in my back, very low down, almost like the back of my pelvis, is that what you had? It was quite a comfort to see you had it too as I was freaked out that something was wrong, I also see we're at the same stage, so perhaps it's normal?!

For the girls that feel they 'know' something is wrong, Natty and AQ, I had that in my last pregnancy, I used to wake in the middle of the night and sob because I 'knew' I was losing beanie, infact I had terrible anxiety throughout the whole pg was even prescribed medication to help me sleep from Dr because I would wake having panic attacks. But despite that DS Josh was born perfectly healthy. The mind is a powerful thing but as in my case just because you're convinced something's going to happen, doesn't mean it will! I'm going to keep reminding myself of that this pregnancy so I don't drive myself nuts like I did last time!

That turned into a bit of an essay- sorry!

Right gonna go and attempt a bit of brekkie, have no appetite though this morning! Catch up with you lovelies later!

Morning march mummies!
I'm in a much more positive mood today. I hardly slept last night, so scared as to what I was going to wake up to. Anyway, after knicker check!! I have decided to TRY to enjoy my pregnancy. Otherwise I'll just ruin it for myself. Considering I have three children. DD 13, DD 12 and DS 9, this will probably be it for me!!
Just wanted to thank everyone for their support. This site is an absolute god send xx

 

[Embo78]

Oh yes and I took another tesco test this am and it was darker than two days ago so that's helped too!!

 

[africaqueen]

Thank you Blessed. I just feel i owe it to my beanie to be positive unless proven otherwise. This negativity has been exhausting to be honest ;-)

Completely off topic question Blessed, but notice u live in kansas and wondered if u have a tornado problem where u live? I have always been fascinated with them for some reason!

yes aq we do. there are usually a few starting in spring to summer. a few mos ago we had one that was right up the road from us. its not too scary to me cuz i grew up here, but i proly should be. my oh kinda freaks out but not sure if its cuz he mostly grew up in indiana or if he is just being protective.

we have a basement though and that makes it safer. plus my lil sis lives next door and my brother too, so they come over and hang out when sirens go off. sounds stupid but its kinda fun

I was actually thinking that it would be quite exciting too! lol.
I have always been into watching Docu's about them. Think its amazing that nature can be so fierce xxx

Good morning ladies

Welcome to any newbies and beanies!

Hope we are all doing ok.
Well my cramps have subsided since i have taken 3 of my tabs now, thank god
I am starting to get a few spots on my face which is unusual as i am blessed with a very clear complexion and the best thing is...my nipples are sooooo sore!! This has really made me feel better weirdly enough!! haha. Today i am going to do a few chores and then go and vist my dad and see how he is doing today. I might do a roast dinner later i think. Really fancy a roast today

For the women who are worried about not having MS, i read that it is most likely to kick in from around wk7 and if your mum never suffered from it, there is high chance that u wont either as it tends to(not always) follow suit ;-)
I will be glad not to get it, but if i do, hey ho. I have had a few spells of nausea and funnily enough was sick a few days BEFORE my bfp but not since... weird! lol

For the ladies still not regular on the throne, i have found that having a bowl of branflakes each morning with some fruit has really helped me ;-)

Wow this thread moves fast! It's taken me ages to catch up and I'm sure I can't remember all your names and stories. Thanks for all the lovely welcomes!

It's comforting to read people are having similar feelings to me, the mild cramps have me convinced AF is coming so I'm an obsessed knicker checker, The only thing for me is that I have no nausea at all and I have a huge appetitie right now

I'll be calling the Doctor tomorrow to see if I need to see the GP or just get an appointment for the midwife and when that should be etc... God I'm clueless

 

[Twinminator]

Morning All! AND B.F.CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWBIES!!!
You really really have made the most amazingly wonderful decision of your life (joining this thread that is, LMAO!!)

I've been keeping up ladeez, but haven't posted, I figured if I didn't have anything positive to say.....

However, after a long, angry, loving, sad, excited, conversation with DH yesterday, we decided it'd help us if EVERYONE knew. So my beanie is now common knowledge

It's really taken so much weight off my shoulders tbh. Am listening to the fantastic Sheryl Crow's "Wildflower" album and chilling (and trying not to cry, with happiness of course).

Seeing doc tomoro (ex-gyny) to see if he'll sort an early scan to check if it's one or two beanies << and to ask about possibility of getting round strep B with waterbirth.

 

[africaqueen]

Pumpkim- My name is Sarah and i am a knicker checker! haha. I just feel so "damp" down there that i panic every time i go the loo! i wish we could fast forward to 2nd tri i really do!

[Shrimpy]

...has anyone located the whine on/off switch on their children yet? If so please let me know!

 

[Embo78]

So glad to see I'm not the only obsessive knicker checker !!!!!!!

 

[Aunty E]

Morning! I found a superdrug test in a drawer last night and peed on it to see how quickly and darkly the line would come up - WOW. It was there in seconds and is practically black it's so dark teehee.

Super exhausted and my ten month old does not have an off switch. Added to which I'm doing an amdram show at the end of this month, and I really really should have listened to my friend last year when she said not to do a show when you're pregnant with a toddler at home. She was so right. I'm so tired I want to cry most of the time and I have to make the costumes yet!

 

[africaqueen]

Ooh I used to do Amdram too! Years ago, but i loved it.
What production are u doing? Sounds like u have your hands well and truly full! lol xxx

 

[reversal]

hi please could i join you march mummies im due on 17th of march exactly a year to the day my dh had his vasectomy raversed

 

[Tasha]

Congratulations to all the new bfp's

I didnt manage to write yesterday because my aunt is dying and by the time I got home I was physically and emotionally drained, we live hundreds of miles away from her and so I am managing to get there around twice a week but the journey and seeing her so ill really takes it out of me at the moment.

Today I am convinced that it is all over, I am trying to tell myself that it is normal for me to feel this way and that this whole journey will feel like this because of my six early losses and Honey growing her wings one day before induction.

Sorry for the downer girls.

 

[Tasha]

Oh and I have my appointment and scan on Tuesday too, lots this week. Good luck girls x

 

[africaqueen]

Welcome and congrats Reversal

Tasha- ((hugs)) I am terrified and pessimistic myself most of the time and i have had one loss(altho very traumatic ectopic and loss of tube) so i cnt imagine how scared you are after what has happened to you. I am truly praying for us and i wish u all the luck at your scan on tuesday. This wk is scans galore isnt it?! hoping we all come back and post our wonderful news ;0) xxx

 

[Twinminator]

Reversal - what a wonderful story to be able to tell your LO in years to come!

The biggest to to those with other emotionally challenging issues on top of pgncy, you are all inspirational xx

 

[MumtoJ]

...has anyone located the whine on/off switch on their children yet? If so please let me know!

Sorry no - but if you do find it share ! mine hasn't stopped this morning and I am feeling so tired and sick today.

Tasha sorry to hear you are so down today, hope everything picks up for you soon.

AQ hope you have a more relaxed day today with no repeat performances!

Hope everyone else is doing well
