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?

[Pearl327]

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

[TiffSal]

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. ...

[Ashforblue]

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!

[Ashforblue]

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!!

[Pearl327]

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.
