May Emeralds 2014! :)

My bump is also huge for 6 weeks. I feel like I'm going to have to bust out the maternity pants pretty soon as I'm not allowed to wear sweats at work. My DH has poked my belly and said there is no way that's baby. Nope just super, super bloated.

We have only told my best friend (who guessed when she asked if I wanted a glass of wine at dinner), his best friend and my boss who I am very close with

I can't keep track of everyone but to comment on the bump posts...I literally JUST lost 75 lbs...and it's so noticeable that I'm bloated. To top it off I'm eating EVERYTHING all day long...I disgust myself lol. I'm on a pool league and I don't know how I'm gonna play off not drinking a few beers like I usually do :-/

Not sure how to hide it for much longer!! OH thinks its twins

I just lost weight too Phoenix -- not as much though, go girl! But I literally gained half of it back with water weight. Ugh.

Also super tired of this brown spotting.. I went 3 days without it then it ruined another pair of undies! That's the biggest perk of pregnancy! No bleeding!! Sad.

So glad I am not the only one already experiencing the bump/bloat. I am 6 weeks and 1 day and I already have a rounded shape in my lower belly that wont go away.

No actual morning sickness but by god is the heartburn and nausea bad today

 

[Mimi85]

Leah, great bump-bloat! im having intense bloating too, I just want to unbutton my pants at work sorry the spotting came back, im sure everything will be fine though

SweetV, it can be hard to refuse alcohol and not look suspicious, just say, no thanks I have a crazy headache lol

MrsHousewife, sorry about the nausea and heartburn, hope it eases up soon!

as for me, got some baby stuff from my friend today!! OH went to pick it up and it was there when I walked in, so exciting!

Is anyone else freaking out over what they shouldnt eat?

The list of no no foods for pregnant women is pretty long.

Not to mention worrying about if food has been washed properly, cooked properly etc.

Its doing my head in as i ate almost everything on the list when i was around 3 weeks pregnant at a show!

It is quite a list of things we shouldn't be near. I was really worried during my first pregnancy with some things I had done before I found out I was pregnant and when I brought it up to the Dr. she told me not to worry about it at all. There were other things on the list that I was surprised about. I didn't find out until well in to my second trimester with my first that I was not allowed to be using the face wash for acne that I had been using twice a day (MAJOR panic set in!) again everything turned out fine. I also had very bad food poisoning in my third trimester with my DS. OB was concerned with dehydration but other than that had no issues.

Is it normal to be worried...well since i got my positives already im a bit scared for my AF to arrive tomorrow.....

 

[LeahLou]

Jalanis: I was really nervous too, but just test in the morning to calm your nerves! You're pregnant! (coming from the POAS addict )

It's normal with your first pregnancy to be more worried about food. This pregnancy, I'm pretty chill about it. But then again, I don't like lunch meat to begin with and hot dogs have been one of my aversions

The bleeding did start again, but it's so spotty and really brown, so I'm really calm about it. Just need to get my proof of insurance letter to get into the doctors office!!!!! Ugh

This due date calculator on the NHS website is the most accurate one I can find, it uses your average cycle length aswell as first day of last period.

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/due-date-calculator.aspx

The baby center one says I'm due May 15th, but the NHS one says I'm due May 19th (which makes more sense since I ovulated 4 days later than an average cycle).

Thank you for posting the link to that one! My cycle averages only 23 days so according to that one my DD is May 16th, not the 21st!!

Test in the morning !
That way you know you're still pregnant

My AF is due Friday and trust me, I will def test that morning!! Actually I've tested everyday so far since my bfp (3 days). And I'll continue to test until a day after AF is due I think. It makes me feel better lol

 

[Jalanis22]

I know its gone quick but slow Tomorrow is D day with the scan at 2.30!!! I have had some brown/pink spotting too hun Thats why i decided to pop to epu to have a check up. Wish we didnt get this horrid stuff xx

I worry all the time! I check every time I go to the loo to see if AF has arrived. I have slightly irregular cycles. Last month was our first month using opks, so I never got to find out how long my luteal phase is - because of thankfully falling pregnant. But it means I don't know when to expect my AF. My longest cycle ever was 40 days, so I'm relaxing once I have passed that! I'm also going to buy one more pregnancy test to do, just to put my mind at ease! Today is cycle day 36 for me and around 17/18 dpo (I got my bfp on 11dpo - cycle day 29). I'm hoping I will be able to relax in 4 days time!
