Babee_Bugs - yup strong and painful. Mine often feel like I'll snap something if I move too fast! Ooh that's a pretty test! Makes me wanna take another one!!

I think the most unsettling thing so far is that everything just FEELS so much like my period.. just without the blood. I keep expecting it every time I run to the loo!

i keep expecting af anytime now!! i will run to the bathroom every 30 minutes to "check." i totally agree. does that feeling ever stop??

I found it stopped around 12/13 weeks and then comes back at the very end of 3rd trimester

 

[jtink28]

i've been constipated too
no fun.

Lili24 I'm so sorry for your loss I really hope you get your sticky bean soon xxx


Babee- that test looks lovely and dark
I've done lots of internet cheapies and one superdrug early one, but I've got three more of them. I will keep testing until they get nice and dark and then probrably check with one of those conception digital ones when i'm 6-7 weeks to see if I've gone up.
Don't worry about lack of nausea, honestly you are still so early, most women don't find out as early as we have so they wouldn't even know they were pregnant. My morning sickness started about 6 weeks with both boys. Everyones different though. I was really pleased with my first when i got my first wave of sickness (I was like yay I'm really pregnant) but when I ended up in hospital 2 weeks later with dehydration and not being able to swallow my own saliva I soon wished I had none and just wanted to have the baby there and then it was awful. But I think lack of symptoms must feel really scary too. You just can't win in this baby game, you never stop worrying, even when they are delivered into your arms

I will prob try and see my doctor about 6-7 weeks if no period by then and stronger tests. I hate going though as she just looks at me over the top of her glasses, tells me it's too early to go and see her and complains about the paperwork shes got to do for the midwife. It always takes her ages. Last time I didn't get my first scan until I was 15 weeks Really don't want to wait that long this time, I'm going to offer to do the darn paperwork myself and take it round to the midwife as I know her well lol

 

[kezziek]

Yeah I keep feeling like af coming too, feels so convincing. Yeah lots of yucky stuff at the end of the pregnancy too!!

Lots of knicker checking going on here! lol

 

[jtink28]

so sharp little twinges are normal, right?
i feel really bloated, and have the occasional sharp twinge. makes me a little nervous..

YES! Scared me nearly to death the first time. Course if you have A LOT definitely speak to the doc. I honestly don't remember how long the period feeling lasts because I was so caught up in being sick!! lol it was an all day every day kind of thing. Didn't need to worry about extra tests either when I felt so rubbish! Throw up. Check. Baby is still there.

kezziek - I miss my UK doc this time! I saw her the day I got my firm positive last time and she immediately booked me in to see the midwife a couple days later. Then at 8 weeks the midwife came out to my house to do my booking in and blood work! when I tell Americans they just about faint.

 

[Babee_Bugs]

kezzie if you do a digital at 6-7 weeks it will only come up with 3+...

im gonna take my last one on sunday/monday and i should get 3+ as ill be nearly 5 weeks then

 

[kezziek]

Babee- yeah your right, I think i just want to check it has gone up to 3+ but havn't added up very well so if I try it 5-6 weeks I should hopefully see the 3+

BeccaMichelle- WOW! I wish mine was that efficient. I know she could be if she wanted too. I'm a nurse myself so I know it's just her putting the paperwork on the right desk. But wow a midwife to your house that is gold service!

I do like my GP though she is very dippy but kind and she won't give me too much off a hard time as she knows me well now. She did tell me to have a bigger break though and I think I've kinda achieved it? 17 months between the first two and then 26 months between 2 and 3 if this one sticks.......scary stuff

jtink24- yeah definately normal! Well I hope so lol as am having lots of those too and I remember them with my last two too. I think they are perhaps worse with your first though as lots of stretching and hormonal changes to occur xxx

Hi everyone!!! After 4 miscarriages since December and being diagnosed with hypothyroidism I am happy to say this pregnancy looks very promising!!! My first HCG was 52 at 12 dpo and my second at 15 dpo was 282!!!! I am over the moon happy. I am due May 2nd, so I was wondering if I could join you ladies?

 

[kezziek]

BeccaMichelle- Really hear you on the sickness front bleurgh Quite dreading it...really praying it doesn't happen like it did first time. Although my second baby was so much easier than my first, just normal morning sickness. He is such a different baby too and a different labour. I have already ordered in my anti-emetics though just in case. Want to be prepared this time and stay home with my boys. Would rather not take them but I think it's better then getting really sick. I know it's more than worth it though and I will hold on to that thought when I have my head down the toilet all day and all night, lol! xxx

Congrats! I'm hypothyroid too! (well not on the thyroid but the baby The trickiest part for me was working out when to take my pills that I wouldn't immediately throw them up! I started setting my alarm for an hour before I needed to get up just to take them and then go back to sleep. I'm sure they've told you, but it's super important to take them while pregnant!

 

[waiting2012]

Welcome Courtney!! Congrats on your BFP!!!

A few twinges that are sharp, but then they go as quick as they come on..
A little nauseas this afternoon but no hailing the porcelin throne yet.. Not looking forward to that either!

I have been trying to catch up so sorry if I missed anything!
