I had a nap every day this long weekend SOOO tired! But I'm so loving just being pg at the moment. It's awesome 9 sleeps to my first scan


***Oct MTB hanging out***

Hi Rainy. Glad you are not feeling too bad. My MS had been a bit better over the last few days but getting bad again now. I'm sleeping a lot just to have some time without feeling sick.

Can't wait for the MS to leave so I can actually do some stuff round the house lol

Hi Ladies, I'm going to join you on this journey. Here is my story so far.
I'm 33 years young. Married for 11 years and we have a 5 year old princess and 14 month old twin boys. It took us 5 years to conceive our little girl with the help of numerous fertility specialists and other non-traditional treatments. We had another 3 years of TTC for the twins and on our last attempt with the Fertility company we concieved. It truly has been an exhausting and emotional journey to not only get pregnant but also to stay pregnant. So that was us. 3 kids. We had talked to GP about contraception but she said look don't worry about it. Well next minute I'm feeling nausceous and really tired so I took a pregnancy test a week ago and it was positive. I nearly fell over. So we took another one the next day and same result. I always have said that if we got pregnant again then it was meant to be and so im looking at this little one as a total miracle as I was told from a very young age of 13 that if I wanted to have kids it would be very difficult due to alot of complications I have. So I booked in for a dating and number scan as I was terrified it was twins again. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my boys to bits. But hard work doesn't even begin to describe it. The pregnancy with the boys was terrible aswell and I was in hospital all the way through with Dr's even suspecting I was having a stroke. I came through at the other end with healthy boys who turned up a bit early at 33 wks but after a short stay in NICU of 2wks we were home.
I've been feeling very tired, bloated, and sick, hungry but not if you know what I mean and the thought of cooking food at the end of the day turns my stomach so I do all meal prep in the morn and leave it to hubby to cook at the end of the day cause the smell is just awful for me. My due date is 10 September and I've only got one little one on board.

Welcome Lenni.. Its nice to have another Sept MTB in here! Thats quite a journey you have there But fingers crossed this time its nice and boring for you!!!


MS.. Hmm, its turned into all day queasy tapering to nausea at about 4pm then utter exhaustion at about 9:30. Im lucky at the moment, its really not that bad! No worse then my normal nausea anyway My boobs are MEGA sensitive though and i have a heavy feeling down below.

I was trying to go to sleep last night when i had this sudden fear that i wasnt actually pregnant or that sticky bun had died So i said to DP: What if im not actually pregnant!!? He looked at me, and said: No honey, you seem VERY pregnant to me And anyway, at the end of the day what will happen, will happen and there is nothing you can do about it..

It helped to talk about it but its weird how these little fears just keep popping up out of the blue like that. My therapist assures me its not neurotic, its completely normal

My boobs are really sore too but it doesn't help that I'm still BF the twins either. Feels like I'm feeding newborns again.

What are you ladies using for MS. I'm on the ginger and MS spray from the chemist. Hoping this MS finishes up soon cause I can't stand to even go in the kitchen today. My poor boys are having very boring food today. We have all this fresh fish in the fridge but the thought of smelling it while I cook it is enough to make me gag.

At the moment? Nothing.. Im just keeping an eye on my cravings and when i want something, if I can have it, I have it and it seems to keep the full on nausea at bay.. I i cant have it, lying down helps.. Or sipping water, or lollies if my blood sugars arent too bad.

Nothing really works for me. I suck lollies if I can keep them down.
My DH is doing all the cooking at the moment - luckly he is good at it and likes it!

morning all.. Got awoken at 5am this morning by the young'n having a nightmare,poor kiddo.. It sparked what is turning out to be pretty nasty MS today though And its not like i can rest up today - gotta get the rest of the house packed up, have an interview with a recruiter this afternoon.. But all i wanna do is sit on the couch lol

O no OM. Hope the interview goes well though. Are you telling them you are pregnant? I was so tired last night and my father turned up for a cuppa tea at 8pm and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. At 9pm I started crying as I just couldn't cope and my father and DH just wouldn't stop talking. We are sleeping in the lounge at the moment as we are building our new house so renting a 2 beddy and the boys are in 1 room and Ella my DD is in the other room so we put mattresses out at night to sleep on the floor. Not going to be able to do that for too many months more though I think so the pressure is on to get things built.

IM hoping I can get a 6-8 months contract so am applying for more temps roles then anything that way I dont have to say anything. I wont mention it until I get to 12 weeks, and even then I probably wont jump right in with it..

Oo that sounds like a difficult way to live! Fingers crossed your place is finished soon. Hw much longer you reckon??

Well we are building some accomodation facilities on our land aswell to rent out so they are going up first so we may move into them and just leave some of the internal walls out to use as one big house. We may be pushing it to get into our place before our September arrival but hoping to be in the accomodation units by end of March. Fingers crossed. My brothers the builder on our project so I'm giving him the hurry along.

Hi,

I posted in Oct but i've just worked out my due date and its end of Sept so i thought i'd come over here and say HI!

Got a BFP today. Totally shocked, DH had said no more babies and we weren't trying (but weren't preventing), i've been doing alot of crying this morning and i feel sick from the shock and can't stop shaking.

The MW said i'm due in October (but i gave her the wrong date for LMP), it just doesn't seem real though.

Will be back later to read some more and get to know you all!

OMG RD!!!!!!
Totally stoked for you

How is DH coping?

Congrats RD on your BFP. Hope you are feeling a bit better now and over your initial shock.

Thanks Bekkaz and Lenni.

DH is very shocked but coping well!

Hi Owly, RainyDay, Lenni and shorty. Looks like a very small group!

OMG RD, just spied your name here so had a lurk, didn't actually expect to see this news though - congrats! Happy accident!!!

OMG RD, I too just saw your ticker on another post and couldn't believe your surprise BFP!!! Congratulations! It will probably take a wee while to sink in, but such fantastic news
