Valentine's Day BFP! Any buddies?

[SoBlessedMama]

Hi ladies! I'd love to join you!! According to my last cycle, I am 5 weeks pregnant today with #2. (I got my BFP the day before Valentine's Day.) DH and I already have a 4 year old little boy.

Cutie--I am so very sorry for your loss. I had an early loss in December, and its devastating. Big hugs and FXd for you for next time you try!

So sorry for your loss cutie, sending you massive hugs. Try to stay strong sweetie, it'll happen for you. xxx

Hi soblessed! I got my bfp two days before valentines. How is everyone feeling today? I had a late night last night but still woke at 8am sharp to pangs of nausea. Its the first time that i felt close to hurling tho! Its funny that in relieved to feel nauseus aswell ha ha!

 

[LuLu1987]

Welcome SoBlessedMama! Congrats on your BFP!

Been and notified my doctor this morning and I'm now booked in with the midwife on 7th March, eeeeeek!

Still cramping and bloated, doctor said aches and pains are normal providing there's no bleeding or spotting. Just gotta sit tight and hope little bean hangs on in there!

 

[slowloris]

That's great lulu wish i had an appointment booked. I have to wait for them to gwt in touch around 8 weeks. Are you in the uk?

 

[LuLu1987]

Yeah I am, what about you?

 

[slowloris]

Yeah in in the south west. So is your first scan going to be 12 week one? Feels so far away to me!

 

[LuLu1987]

I guess so! I'll be 12 weeks on the 7th of April. Feels forever away! I'm assuming my midwife will arrange it all when I see her in two weeks! Gonna have have to have my blood taken too, really not looking forward to that part

 

[SoBlessedMama]

It makes me feel better to hear you ladies say you are having some cramps--every little pull and tug scares me!

I have had a couple of waves of nausea hit me, but mostly just when a certain smell gets to me. Like the other day, my husband brought home some seafood soup from a friend at church, and I almost lost it just smelling it heating up!

My most consistent symptom is sore boobs, so of course I poke around at them all the time to make sure they haven't gone away lol. My doctor wants me to come in for my first appointment the second week in March, but we haven't set a day yet. I hope after that first scan I can relax a little!!

 

[LuLu1987]

I've not really had the nausea yet, my nipples have been sore from the start and my boobs feel firmer and heavier. The cramps sort of come and go throughout the day in waves of like period-type-pains but stronger and more widespread, in the bottom of my back and in the tops of my thighs. Not nice at all!

 

[SoBlessedMama]

I guess we should look at the pains as a sign that all kinds of activity is happening down there! : )

Mine definitely aren't as strong as AF pains, its more a feeling of pulling and stretching. And I swear I feel my c-section scar pulling, even though I know logically that can't be happening yet. I think after my MC in December, I'm just super paranoid.

 

[LuLu1987]

I feel mega-parnoid too. The run up to 12 weeks is just so delicate. Fingers crossed for us though yeah?

 

[SoBlessedMama]

Absolutely!! : )

It was easier with #1, because I didn't find out until 6 weeks, and I didn't Google every little symptom and scare myself lol.

 

[slowloris]

last time was preg i only found out at 5 weeds 5 days! this time ive already known for over a week. but deffo more going on this time.
this morning was the orst sickness ive felt yet. plus i just dont have any energy! find myself wanting to nap alot!

 

[SoBlessedMama]

That's true for me, too--I am a teacher, and by the time school lets out at 3:10, I'm completely wiped out. I feel like I am noticing more things this time, but for me, I think its just because I'm aware. Last time I probably just thought I was getting sick or getting AF.

 

[SoBlessedMama]

This sounds silly, but I feel like my boobs hurt less today. Anyone else have the same thing? I have read symptoms can come and go, but I'm freaking out a bit over that. I'm still so nervous something will go wrong.

 

[Blackbarbie04]

My boobs hurt oh myyy they are so sore. I felt the pulling really at 4 weeks less now though more cramping. Tired a whole lot but can't fall asleep once I get in the bed. Very emotional just cried over bad grandpa. Go for my first appt on march 17 I'll be 8 weeks and a few days

 

[slowloris]

I feel like mine hurt less too. But not sure if its cos ive got used to it? They are more tender but nipples don't feel like their on fire! I have also been struggling with the emotions. At silly things. Watching telly and i list keep crying! I went to see the lion king musical and was so overwhelmed.by the start!!! Tears were running down my face lol!

 

[LuLu1987]

Oh my gosh, my nipples hurt a lot less today too! I can actually touch them without wincing in pain! How spooky.

Also I slept a lot more this morning, really struggled to drag my butt out of bed! Also had very little to no appetite. Even turned down a sausage and bacon sandwich from my OH, which is extremely unlike me!

 

[SoBlessedMama]

That makes me feel better, ladies!! : ) I have read so many times that symptoms can fluctuate. Yesterday my boobs barely hurt, which is what I was freaking out over. This morning, they're back to excruciating lol. So no worries!! I think everything is correct--symtoms really do fluctuate. And if we weren't so hyper aware right now, we probably wouldn't even notice. I know that AFM, I pick apart everything right now.
