okay, i have a kinda gross question...

has anybody else had loads of CM??? i am having to bring an extra set of panties in my purse at work, plus pantiliners. i keep thinking AF has started..(even though she's way overdue!)
doesn't smell funny, but all of a sudden there's a TON of it.

i don't have any other symptoms other than slightly sore breasts, a little cramping and being a tad tired. i know 4w3d is early for symptoms, though.

Not something I have noticed yet but apparently it's quite common (I've just read it somewhere).

Incidentally ladies, for those of you with an iphone/ipad, download the Baby Centre Pregnancy app. It allows you to put in your due date and you can follow a weekly timeline in terms of what is happening to the baby and your body each week (plus some really cool video animations of what's happening). Definitely worth it (and where I think I read about the CM!).

Yeah I have lots, I keep running to check too. I think it's the mucous plug forming?

Congratulations and welcome to all the new ladies.

Apart from being super tired I havn't been as nauseous as I was last week when I found out. Pleased about that but worried at the same time. I'm so early too though so I know I should just chill out a little- I never found out this early with my last two babies so it feels like a long wait til Can't stop weeing though!

Hopeful H so sorry to hear about your scare I am glad you are getting checked out soon.

Hope you are all ok. The housework is mounting up around me which is depressing but I just don't have the energy to work all day, look after my boys and then clean the house I need to get motivated!

Mucus plug in very early pregnancy (but think that would be just after implantation to keep it protected) and then a bit after from increasing oestrogen and blood flow to the area. x

Jinbean: did your midwife organise your scan??? i rang mine and she said oh ill get you a scan booked in blah blah... but so far i havent heard bugger all??

No sweetie! I rang the EPU directly as the lady there who was dealing with me back in February said, (after our last loss and me having to sit in her office chatting about options for at least an hour while my OH made his way from work to collect me as he hadn't attended that appointment) to just ring her next time I got a and she would arrange an early scan for me to confirm viable pregnancy.

But I know most EPU's will only book scans in if they have received a referral from your GP. Maybe ring your GP's surgery to see if they have sent a referral yet, as your GP advised they were doing this, and it will either give them a kick up the backside to refer you or if they already have referred you then maybe they can advise if you can contact EPU directly to make an appointment?? xxx

jtink - In response to your question... I have noticed an increase in CM but not quite to the scale you are describing sweetie! Bet it's weird to always think "could it be AF?" and having to run check! xxx

 

[jtink28]

thanks for the article! so interesting!

always good to know why we're having these crazy symptoms. at least i know it's a good sign

 

[julesjules100]

Oo will check that one out too! Those Baby Centre videos are very handy when I'm lying in bed at 4am, wide awake from another trip to pee (!).

This started yesterday for me!!!... This is gonna sound gross, so i apologise in advance!.

I went to the toilet for a wee, and i just felt something fall out (last time i had this feeling i was miscarrying) it just felt soo alike to tissue that i passed previously. I started crying, scared and just a cold shiver to what i just experienced!!! I wiped and it was just lots and i mean LOTS of just Off white coloured CM. I looked into the toilet and there was a clump of it at the bottom... Well that was that i started crying allover again!!! Ive had this with my other pregnancies also, so apparently its normal, but not nice

My midwife said she would be doing it (i cant self refer to the EPU, ive tried before)... Just hoping she hasnt forgotten!!.. ill give it till monday then pester her, i only have a number for the midwife general board, then you get referred to the midwife in your area, i dont have her personal number, so i will have to ring, leave a message and then hopefully she gets back to me!!.. Grrrrrrrrr i hate having to rely on other people, id much rather do it myself

I know what you mean sweetie! I hate having to rely on others and would rather do things myself. I'm just lucky the lady at my local EPU was so nice to me last time... and that she actually remembered me when I rang her today! xx

Yay! Made it to 5 weeks! Anyone else feeling super bloated? My pants are already getting snug! And the CM Omg I thought I was midcarrying bc its been so moist, lol.

 

[Sass827]

I am so bloated! And gassier than I have ever been. It's really embarrassing!
So I have a question to throw out there - how are you all not telling people? I feel like I want to hide for the next 2 months til it's safe to tell anyone. My DH and I are big social drinkers. We frequently host and attend parties. If I go and don't drink, I'm sure everyone will know right away. I know they will ask, and should I just lie to their face? This seems like it is going to be so hard. How are you all doing it?

 

[luluamcr]

Am I the only one who wishes they didn't find out so early 12pdo it seems like the wait is forever for a doctors appointment worse than the 2week wait lol... just excited for the upcoming journey

Was just talking about this with DH!! We knew very early on last time and the 9 months seemed to go by so slowly, hopefully this time it'll seem quicker seeing as we have a teen and a toddler to take our minds off the wait!

 

[Courtney917]

We told my family and a couple of friends. I'm just worried since Im already popping out of my pants that I will have to tell people sooner then later lol. Luckily I live 2 states away from the people ww usually hang out with so its easy to keep a secret lol

I ended up just letting my closest friends & family know after my first appointment. I told my Mom who couldn't contain her excitement.... Then my DH & I are also social butterflies & had a birthday party last Saturday at the local dance hall (we go to frequently). Well we walked in the front door & the bartender had our drinks ready for us. The second I told her I wasn't drinking she immediately jumped over the bar, hugged me & screamed "CONGRATULATIONS"... Well it took 30 seconds for everyone to know...

I have been thinking about the same thing - how will I hide this!! We are social drinkers too - with family and friends. the minute I refuse a drink everyone will know. I was thinking of telling just a few close family members and friends but my family can never hold anything in! I dont want everyone knowing just yet so Im going to try to cover it up as long as i can! I figure I will hold a glass of wine or whatever and spill some out each trip to the bathroom.
(even though I hate to waste), or have my dh drink some from my glass when no one is paying attention. Not sure if I can pull it off but im going to give it a try. I just hope no one asks me bc thenI wouldnt know what to do - lie or give in!! haha.

 

[TonyaG]

I am also a social drinker, I have been telling people that I am on a no beer diet!! I have recently lost 30 pounds so people believe it.....or at least they pretend to!
