I hope not its not really enjoyable and the fatigue 😣
I must be weird - I can't stop eating food! I was only on the LE diet for 11weeks, but man I missed my normal foods! :) Also, I am still not letting myself think I am pregnant yet as I have not told my husband. Was waiting for him to be in a happy mood - but today was not the day.... Maybe tomorrow... or the next day... or after my 10wk blood test..... *sigh*
Lol Immi! I can't believe you haven't told him!
Hi all. Crazy few days DS has had fifth disease/slapped cheek. I don't know if I have ever had it and it can be really bad for the baby if it gets it in the uterus. I am hoping that bubs is still living off the yolk sac at 5 weeks and we are not sharing blood yet ? Will ring my OB later.
I've never heard of that pearl!! Is it highly contagious? Let us know what your doc says!
Still pretty miserable here... Super, super tired & sick feeling... Also really really bloated... Pretty crazy! All my clothes are tight already! :( how's everyone else feeling?
Most people 50-80% of people will have had it already so it is fairly contagious. But the contagious period is before the rash appears. The only people it causes problems for are unborn babies in early pregnancy. It can cause severe anaemia which can result in miscarriage, stillbirth and may be treated by a in utero blood transfusion. So it a bit scary. But I am not showing any symptoms so fingers crossed I am in the clear.
I am really tired all day and bloated in the evening too Ash. I cannot wait to take my work trousers off the past few evenings and get into stretchy pants
Scary pearl! Have you seen the doctor?
Same jere fatigue hits around 4ish and cant be bothered cooking diner. Sleeps are hard and going to the toilet often. ...
That is really scary pearl!! Glad your not showing symptoms & hope you don't catch it!!
Poor us! I was expecting my last pregnancy to be magical! Lol!
Ok so I need some advice ladies! We go in vacation in a couple weeks to see family.... I really don't want to tell anyone till 12 weeks.... But they would probably know something is up if I don't drink.... What should I do??? This is my last one so I want to do something creative to let the family know!!
If ,god forbid, anything went wrong would you tell them. Because if they are close enough to know that then share the good news with them. It will be less stress for you then hiding the pregnancy and everyone will be happy and looking after you. We told the families at 6 weeks last time due to a whole family weekend get together for DHs mum. So we told mine then a few days after. I will be telling my mum next week as she will be staying with us for the week. I am going to a concert with my sisters at 8 weeks so will tell them then. And everyone else (except work)after my 1st scan.
That's very true.... My husbands ready to tell Everyone!! Also , we are bringing my oldest nephew home & my bro in law... I just feel nervous telling people without seeing my baby first... I have told one of my sisters already & my sis in law knows we were trying....hmmmm, this will be tough!! I really would like to tell my mom!
We qill offcially announce it at 12weeks but we told our families and few of our friends few days after we knew. You can always try to be creative
Anyone else exhausted? Oh my goodness. I just wanna sleep.
I'm not telling anyone! Lol... Still have not told DH..... Had my first blood test today, so will see how the numbers look. I go back for another on Tues ;)
I am a little tired of an afternoon, but that could also be because my youngest had decided that sleeping through the night is overrated..... meh.... :sigh:
Immi you still havent told dh!!?? Lol
Why are youbgoing back for another blood test?
Mommy is was tired mainly arpund 4pm but the last cpuple days it has been an all day thing and cant sleep at night already 😠 the joy of pregancy
Tiff, I think they like to see the numbers doubling or going up? Got my first hCG number - 1457 - does anyone know if this is 'good'? Dr's receptionist just said 'all good, have another test on Monday'....
I did my first one at 17dpo and i was out of range with 581 when it should of been at least 1000 for 4-5weeks. So i got another one done to see if it doubled (every second day) and got one done at 23dpo. It did increased but i was still a bit out....just waiting for a 7weeks dor a dating scan
I was hoping to go back on Tues, but if you say every 2nd day, then maybe I should try for Monday (although it is the last day of school holidays and I will have all the boys - that is a bit tricky...). But if you went from 17 to 23 dpo, I might be ok?
There is so much waiting isn't there.... first waiting for the attempt, then waiting for the +opk, then the 2ww, then the dpo/poas wait...dating scan wait..... 12wk scan wait... lol!!!
I never had to do all this for my other 2s....im pretty sure it is every 2nd day. I could of done it earlier but i had the week end in between so waited until monday to re do it. I was still out of range but maybe my dates are not 100% since i might have a late implementation...i was worries but they look at your increase and it was fine. No im waiting to hear this heartbeat....waitingggg
As long as the Drs aren't worried, your probably fine!! I've been tired as well.... Also my hips hurt & my legs get really tired fast... So achy it's hard to work out! I really don't remember it being like this last pregnancy this early... Of course that was so long ago.... Are you ladies sore?
I'm wanting my boobs to get sore! Lol! The life has been sucked out of them by the previous 4 that now there is nothing left and I am excited to see some 'growth' there..... hopefully..... I haven't noticed anything yet, I have stopped the cardio work outs, just done a couple of little walks and starting some squats :)
How did you add that little elephant pregnancy timeline ruler thingy Ash?
My hips are not sore. Just the boobs, I have to shelter them from the water when in the shower. I am really tired but I can keep going. I have been going for a 30-40 min walk almost every day. I missed last night as I was baking a cake for DS 2nd birthday which is today. I cannot believe my 1st sway baby is 2 already. I put so much effort and preperation into his sway compared to this one.
Immi you can get a tracker on the ticker factory and then paste the link into your signature. Good luck with your bloods.
Well I guess I'm just weird then, lol!
Immi I got mine off lillypie... You to thier site and they'll guide you through how to do it!! It's pretty cool :)
Hello everyone!!! (And thanks for the invite, Ash!). Got my BFP today at 11 dpo, hurrah!! Need to read back over this thread and see what is going on with everyone, but just wanted to say hello!
So happy your joining us foxcub!! So when will you tell your family if I may ask??
So I've been doing the prenatal workouts on YouTube & they are really good!! Anyone else try them? Since I've been having so many body aches, I thought I'd switch over to prenatal workouts early..... Anyone have any cute ideas of ways to share the news with my in laws that live far from us?
Congrats foxcub! When would ypur due date be?
Ash i cant think of exercising at the moment being so tired and constantly doing things with my boys but ill check it out. We couldnt see my in laws face to face and we wanted to share the news. I made this coupon (inspired from pinterest) and sent them as a picture message... but they took a while to understand 😯
Haven't even worked out due date yet! End of March, I think.
Not sure when we will tell family, depends how sick I get! I was super sick with both girls so we had to tell people very early as I basically went out of action for 3 months!
Ash, what about buying a tiny pair of baby booties and lining them up for a photo next to a pair of each big sister's shoes, then sending that to in laws with a little message?
I was going to look at pinterest too TiffSal! They have some cute ideas :)
Foxcub, I was thinking of doing that & saying our family is growing by two feet! Or something like that.... I was also thinking of getting some shirts & writing on then big sisters for both my girls & sending that to them...
Like those ideas, Ash! When are you planning to tell them?
How is everyone doing sickness-wise? I am terrified of it starting!
There are heaps of ideas on pinterest. ☺
So far im not as sick as i thought i would be but im only 6 weeks...just very tired!
I'm going to tell them in a couple weeks only b/c we are going on vacation to see some family and they'll guess since I'm not drinking and so I want my parents & my in laws to know first....makes me nervous telling so early though...
I feel sick off & on but usually super tired... Granted, I'm starting this pregnancy heavier then my last b/c if the he diet... Still having the cramping but hoping that goes away soon! Do you have any symptoms yet foxcub?
Fox, I am thinking of doing the photo of booties too! Lol... I am hoping that I can put all of the boys dirty soccer shoes in a row and then a pretty pink pair of booties :) Fingers crossed!Quote:

I bet you are! :) I will be 10 wks (seems like forever away) I could not wait for 20wks this time... Or even 17wks - that's when I had a private scan done with my 4th to find out.Quote:
