Fantastic! DH will work on the banner for our group tomorrow

Momma - That's so nice that your parents know! Nothing worse than trying to hide how terrible you feel.

Because my LO is only 4 months old, I doubt anyone will suspect that I'm pregnant again.

AW how lush to have close age gap!

 

[campn]

Just- Awwww that's like the best thing anyone told me ever! I feel honored to join you awesome ladies! So happy that I'm finally pregnant and feel so much respect for the ladies who have been trying longer, TTC isn't something easy and every pregnancy is definitely a miracle!

Ciz- That is such a great second line and progression hun! I hope you get your early scan, last time they didn't do one until I was like 9 weeks which is just so long! I wanna get in and see a heartbeat ASAP!

 

[MummaMoo]

Welcome to the new ladies - fingers crossed for more sticky beans!

Got to say how inspired I am by some of your stories ladies, some of you having had multiple losses. Your strength is amazing and admirable... and the optimism too, I love it and you all without a doubt deserve your forever babies, and I'm glad we're on this journey together. It's going to be an awesome ride!

As with most mornings, I've woken up, lay in bed slightly concerned that I didn't feel sick. Then Sophie started shooting so up I get, change nappy (a stinker - BLEURGH!!) and now Mr Moo has taken her down for breakfast so I can spend a bit more time in bed.. however, the heaving has started ..... yuck - but reassuring!

I'll have my first 'fake drinking' session next weekend. It's my FIL birthday but there's only 4 of us at the meal so I'm thinking I'll say I'm doing dry January, or some diet! The other thing is my FIL is coming to help us decorate our hallway (it's a big job-high ceilings) at the end of Jan. I'm not going to help now as I'll only be 6 weeks +2 or something. Not sure what excuse to give them - prob say I'm ill or something! He's totally gona twig though!

Yes, can't wait for a siggy! I've been scared to update mine but IB has completely gone and I've had a stronger line since so I'm feeling less anxious.

I bought some baby sleepers yesterday - oh my days I loved it! Was trying to spot some maternity stuff in the sales but nothing. Can't wait though.

 

[Buffyx]

Mrs. Unicorn - I have a wedding next weekend that I'll have to "fake drink" at as well. Ugh. I'm so not good at lying. People are definitely going to ask why I'm not drinking. Hubby and I have our LO being looked after & we have booked a night of accommodation, so no excuse not to drink! Eek.

 

[mrs unicorn]

Oh buffys that's tricky! Maybe have fizzy water or something and say it's GnT?

Could you just get a coke and say it's vodka and come or something?

 

[Buffyx]

Yep I think I might have to do that & then pray I'm not feeling sick and exhausted and can pretend I'm a bit merry

Lat time I was at a conference where there is a lot of drinking usually I played the antibiotics cards, which is great because it covers the fatigue and ill feeling and nobody will question not drinking for your health.

Well,the days of not feeling pregnant are over! I have to eat every 2-3 hours or I feel ill. I bought some preggie pops which get me through the worst of it if I can't eat right away.

I also did some real medical research (bye bye doctor Google!) and this early there is no link between high hcg and downs, so I feel better. Dh is convinced it is twins, which I would love! We'll see on he 20th. Anyone have twins or know someone who does?

Oh my gosh- there is a girl in my mothers group who has twins, and she is just flat out. I kind of feel bad for her trying to constantly juggle the two.

I used to want twins before I had one baby. Now I'm glad I only had one. One at a time is more than enough Although people do it and manage!

From my August group that I met on here from my last pregnancy, there are quite a few ladies who had twins We have a Facebook group now and we all still chat. Most find it fine if they either live near family or have a helpful husband. They just struggle with the night wake ups - since they have to do it more than others.

I might try the antibiotic card. Thanks!

Hi all!
Just1more- CONGRATS on 6 weeks!!
Like Mumma said - I am inspired by everyone's strength on this board. Early pg after loss or losses is a scary time, and so nice to have this board to support each other. I have such a great feeling for everyone on here!

My nausea isn't really around again today and last night OH went out to get me what I was craving- a turkey club with fries (never eat that). I told him not to get anything since he could eat most of mine. Well, once I started eating I was starving and inhaled the entire thing. He was in awe how fast I ate it. Felt good to have an appetite as I haven't, and last pg'cy. I couldnt really eat a thing those first 9 weeks.
Just had more brown spotting, which I read is very common at 5 wks but with some lack of symptoms now (and my age) am now thinking can't be good.

Anyway, keeping the faith. What is meant to be, will be. Wishing everyone a great Sunday!

 

[xanzaba]

Hopie the hunger is a fabulous sign, and I'm sure soon you'll have so many symptoms you won't know what to do with them

 

[mari35racz36]

Amantilia - we are appt buddies Can't wait!!

Hope2015 - oh yes, my nausea is in full force now. Lol I feel sick from the second I wake up and all day long. I am starting to not enjoy food anymore. My taste buds are off too. Nothing tastes as it should. But it is all for a good cause in the end spotting can be very normal in early pregnant. I has implantation bleeding around 4.5 weeks with my first pregnancy. When I was pregnant with DS1, I actually had a bleed at 10 weeks. Turns out it was an old pocket of blood just outside the uterus. How is the spotting today?
Sorry you are feeling nauseous too. I haven't found much that helps. I've been drinking chammomile tea and it does help a tiny bit. If/when my nausea gets really bad, I will fill the prescription my doc gave me. The mess help so I don't throu up as much.
I totally feel the same about Jan!! Lol It feels like the month is going by so slow already. I need to start thinking more positive too How is the Nausea today?

Just1more2 - Congrats on 6 weeks yesterday!!

ASM - I woke up feeling sick today, but I am still able to drink my coffee yay! Lol Yesterday I felt incredibly tired. My BB's are very sore now. My husband made me a lovely omlette yesterday and I could barely take two bites. How is everyone today?

Hope, my symptoms did really start full force until 2 days ago. That would have made me 5+3. brown spotting could be implantation bleeding. And brown blood is old blood. We are still very early. Some women get no symptoms ever! Fingers crossed for you
Too funny about the club sandwich!! eventhough I am feeling sick I am so incredibly hungry too. The one food I really want is a meatball sub!! I think I may send my man out for one later today

 

[Just1more2]

Good morning my lovelies! You are all so positive and sweet. I love this group!
Good on the symptoms everyone!
Hopie - I know a ton of women on bnb who spot almost their whole first tri. I wouldn't worry to much unless it is heavy, clotty or bright red. Keep up the positivity!
I was on another thread when ttc called pregnant until proven otherwise (pupo) and I try to think about that everyday!

Well ladies... I have some nausea this morning!! Real honest to goodness nausea! I really hope it sticks around! (Member thought I would say that!

 

[hopie2015]

Hi Mari! wow- your nausea has hit full force already! i know what you mean by taste buds being off -- nothing tastes as it should. Last time my nausea lasted 24 hrs a day and I could barely drink water. i usually hate coconut water, but it was the only thing I could drink last time. So nice DH made you an omelette! I'm feeling an omelette craving but we have nothing in the apartment and are having a massive rainstorm in NY, so hate to send DF out now like i did yesterday morning (for cake!)

Good to know about chamomile tea. Peppermint and spearmint tea I hear can help. I never found any help with ginger.

My nausea feels gone today and bbs less sore and I feel more crampy, like before AF arrives. Just taking it easy.. I had a 3 hour nap yesterday! With the brown spotting again today (thank you though for the reassurance bleeding can be totally nothing) and my history of loss, i am not feeling very 'hopie' today.

 

[hopie2015]

haha Just1! That is great! I wish I was more welcoming to the nausea. I get so miserable by it that I really need to get a grip. Well, it is gone today!

I love this group too. Thank you again for starting it and i am so thrilled for you! It is so nice to be surrounded by people so excited and so positive and supportive. Last year's pregnancy I first got on a board at another web-site..the girls were saying nasty things to each other and criticizing 'stupid questions', and I dropped off. Just couldn't believe females could treat each other that way. I mean it is tough enough being a woman but being in early pregnancy and putting each other down? Just couldn't believe it.

So thank you for all you are and all of you on here.

 

[InVivoVeritas]

Hope I can join you all -- I got my BFP this morning with a due date of 21st September.

Not much in the way of symptoms except some strong cramping and not really fancying my coffee.
