Congrats and welcome mrsstrezy!

Chibi - sorry the nausea has already hit you. Yikes at the thought it might be twins! How do you feel about that prospect? Perhaps it's just a different gender to the previous pg?

Huggles, both a girl or twins would be fine with me, actually. I've always wanted twins...if they're calm, easy-going babies, which my DS is not, haha.

 

[ChibiLena]

Progression from yesterday and today. I think Im going to wait until tuesday to take another. Hopefully it'll be a bit darker

Defo darker Rach

How many dpo?

Approx 11 dpo today. So i know still early for a super dark line. Im not worried yet. And seeing a decent amount of progression within 1 day is reassuring.



Chibi I also worry about twins with my dd i had 3 days of nausea in week 6 and that was it. Ive already had mild nausea for the last 3 days. Im hoping and praying that just means its a boy. But my grandma had twins so its not completely out of the question. Yours sounds a little worse than mine, i hope it eases up for you soon!!

Rach, there is no history of twins in both of our families, so chances are pretty low. I can report the nausea gets a little better after I eat but does not go away entirely. Had to force myself to eat lunch just now. *sigh*

Welcome mrstrezzy!!

I've not really had nausea yet but my appetite has reduced ( good might lose a few pounds lol) and I don't fancy much to eat and there's been mars ice cream in my freezer all weekend and I haven't wanted it!!

Twins has crossed my mind too because I keep getting twinges on both sides of my uterus! Tbo I'd prefer just one lol as we have 5 already but if it was then we would take it in our stride I hope lol!!

Hello everyone.

DH and I decided to start NTNP last month and in the past two weeks he has been joking about knocking me up. Last Friday, I decided to take an almost expired pregnancy test on DH's birthday, just to prove him wrong. Well, the joke's on me!

Blood test on Friday confirmed pregnancy.

I'm a little concerned since I had a total thyroidectomy, I rely on supplement for my thyroid hormones. The dosage need to go up as soon as I am pregnant, but since i didn't think we would be, I didn't test earlier. We will see how things goes. According to online calculator, due date is May 17.

PS May Marvels sounds great. May Miracles is good too.

Hi new ladies, welcome!!

[Huggles]

Congrats CA!

Welcome Mrstrezzy & CAx3

Cax3 < my EDD is also the 17th

For the ladies battling nausea, what helped me in my last pregnancy was black tea with freshly squeezed lemon juice. I've had 2 cups a day one in the am and one in the pm. It worked wonders for me. This time I just replaced my coffee with it (same routine) and so far I've not been nauseated once hth

I made it and still have electricity! It turned a bit east and Tampa didn't get nearly as bad as they thought!

So my cramping seems to have calmed but now my uterus seems sensitive/sore. Anyone else?

I don't have much cramping yesterday and less today...oddly, that make me worry! I like the pain and knowing something is still inside and growing, lol.

I hope my first OB appointment tomorrow is still on (my dr's office had a bigger hit with lots of electricity out, so who knows).

My husband made me stop testing, lol. The stupid line was stressing me out. Trying to just relax and enjoy this ride.

 

[Huggles]

So glad you're safe cheluzal

 

[Gray001]

Welcome new ladies!

I'm glad all is ok cheluzal.

I was weak and went out and got another cb digi today ... I am desperate to see that 3+ as I never got to with DS.

Going to phone the doctors this week and book in my midwife appt for around 8 weeks hopefully.

Has anyone else booked theirs in yet?

 

[Rach87]

Glad youre safe cheluzal!! How exciting for your first appt! Is it just for betas or a full prenatal appt?

I know its funny we dont necessarily like our pregnancy symptoms (i mean, really who likes cramps, sore boobs and nausea?!) but they give us some reassurance everythings still moving in the right direction. Oy.

Gray im calling today to book. I'll probably be scanned around 7/8 weeks then have my first official prenatal appt around 10-12 weeks. They scan me early because Im considered high risk having Lupus. My last pregnancy was basically flawless (had complete placenta previa at 19 weeks but it moved totally out of the way by 28 weeks) But Im scanned regulary to make sure fetal growth and development is progressing on track. Last pregnancy I had about 10 scans. (Which I LOVED) but also had to do weekly nst testing the last 2 months and twice weekly the last couple weeks which sucked.

Im so glad I temp'd and paid attention to my cm this time around so I know when I O'd and know how far I am. Last time I didnt so when i finally got my bfp i was already 10 days late. Just figured it was a late shower, had read its not uncommon. So called ob and had a scan at '7' weeks. Meanwhile stressing to no end about miscarriage(higher rate w/ lupus) get scanned and ends up I was only 5 weeks! Such torture I was so devastated I had to go through that 2 weeks allllll over again. Ugh.

Sorry rambling.... hehe

I bought a cb digi yesterday wanting to see 3+ figuring it would show no problem as hcg was over 900 on Thursday. I got a 2-3 so now I'm totally stressed that things aren't progressing!! I go for betas later but won't have results until tomorrow am.
Cheluzal I'm glad you are safe!

I booked my 8 week scan last Wednesday already (at just 4+2 ). Decided to just go for it and have booked my 13wk FA as well!

Had a second HCG test today so will pick up results after work. Really hoping for good news! I still feel definitely pg, just got the second draw cos first was quite a lot lower than I expected

 

[Huggles]

It's been so long since I was last pg, please remind me what I'm not allowed to eat?

I know soft/mouldy cheese like brie/camembert, raw meat, undercooked eggs (and obviously alcohol). Anything else?

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Anything unpasteurized, fish high in mercury, processed meats (deli), limit caffeine.

 

[Huggles]

I feel so unprepared for this pg. Before my son I'd been reading pregnancy and birth stuff for literally years beforehand. But once he was born I stopped and focussed first on baby, then toddler, and now he's almost 6! Now I'm pg again and feel so uninformed and like I don't know anything.
