    Me too :-)
    Still can't quite believe it and in a daze, but sooooo super happy!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 blocktober


    Is this your first? We took a break from trying, only started back in Jan and we got lucky. I kinda suspected for the last week, lots of diff symptoms, but held out to do the test till I was late. I think I'm in shock, a bit of disbelief and of course, the fear. Staying positive though x


  • Registered Users Posts: 111 ✭✭Wooha


    Btw big congrats blocktober!
    This will be our first - how about you?

    We had been trying for a good while and started seeing specialists in January, but then it happened without any help :-)

    What were your symptoms? Do you still have them?
    I don't have any, so curious.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 blocktober


    Congrats to you too!! That sounds like a little miracle, just as you were about to see the specialists, it happens for you, obv meant to be xx.
    I had a MC over the summer so its my second pregnancy.
    I have so far had nausea from severe to mild, sore back esp first thing in the morn, I had lots of twinges in my sides last week which is unusual for me, I have gone right off milk and my sense of smell has gone real sensitive. Its mad how quickly our bodies change. I'm loving it though :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 135 ✭✭Quins5


    Me too! Yay! So excited but still slightly afraid to get too excited as so early
    Congrats to us all!

    So so happy, this will b our 2nd *big big cheesy grin :-) *

    I must say i got a shock last week because No. 3 is due In October. :) . Ill have 2 under 2.
    Absolutely no symptoms but its early days.

    I got my positive test this day last week. I was stunned it happened so quickly. It's my second pregnancy and it happened on the first cycle.

    I'm hoping all goes well, but I'm very aware of how early it is in the game. I had crushing morning sickness last time from the very beginning, none so far this time. I'm moody though and my boobs hurt. Neither of which were the case last time.

    Hi

    I am due in October also, but afraid to get excited as it is very early.

    I had a previous miscarriage (ectopic) and am waiting to go back to the EPU to have a scan next week.. This will hopefully confirm this pregnancy is viable and in my uterus! Fingers crossed :)

    My sense of smell is through the roof!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 blocktober


    How is everyone doing? Last week I felt like I had lots of different symptoms but this week, I just feel tired/wrecked... I feel physically tired rather than mentally tired if that makes sense.

    I was trying to play it cool with this pregnancy and not tell anyone but I cracked. The last time, we didn't tell anyone and then we just had bad news to tell which sucked. Now its all I can do to not randomly shout out "I'm pregnant". No matter what happens I want to enjoy this time and hopefully it works out xx. The power of positive thinking ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,626 ✭✭✭rockonollie


    My wife and I are expecting our first in october.....after 14 months of trying, we pretty much gave up and then it happened.....typical :rolleyes:

    I thought I was having no symptoms really, but I've started to feel a bit sick when I'm hungry. Oh noes. Hopefully it won't be as bad as last time.

    Good with your early scan annmarie.

    no major symptoms so far other then constantly shattered tired but hat could also be because i have had to cut my coffee habit and have barely slept since finding out :)

    Welcome trinz!

    I'm officially due the day after you. :)

    Still no morning sickness here but I'm craving salt this morning. Was on a hen night at the weekend and really enjoyed myself.

    How's everyone else feeling?


  • Registered Users Posts: 102 ✭✭trinz23

    I'm not great for sleeping either at the moment.

    Good long walks and a warm (not hot) bath might be a big help to get to sleep. Is it trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? (I'm still having my morning coffee btw.)

    Its definitely staying asleep, I cant stay awake past 9.30 or 10 but am awake again by 12 or 1am and awake for the night then.....finding it very hard to concentrate then during the day!!

    I'm the same. I'm not complaining though as my morning sickness last time was horrible and I think a little sleeplessness is a breeze by comparison. I also have been trained for the last 3+ years on how to survive on very little sleep!


  • Registered Users Posts: 102 ✭✭trinz23


    tats it....maybe its my body preparing me for the lack of sleep once the baby comes????


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭lolademmers


    Can I join?? Just got a bfp today hope to go to the doctor this week to get the ball rolling on appointments and stuff. So terrified I have to be honest!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 345 ✭✭freudiangirl


    Regarding tiredness, I am wrecked during the day but then when i lie down at night, i feel dizzy and sick like motion sickness
    Driving me mad as it is not helping with sleeping.
    If i wake during the night, its impossible to go back to sleep.

    Last time I had nausea up to about 15 weeks, cannot remember it starting this early on my first .

    Congratulations hun xx


    Hi freudiangirl
    I am the same as yourself, wrecked in the day and cant keep my eyes open, but wide awake at night, I have rewatched the first 2 series of Sex and the City since Saturday...

    Im feeling dizzy now and like my ears will pop at any minute!!

    Hows everyone feeling?
    I am hoping for an early scan maybe 6+5, dont think I can wait until week 8... so nervous...


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 17,231 Mod ✭✭✭✭Das Kitty


    Welcome lassies!

    Started to feel a bit blerg now. Only when I'm really tired or hungry. I also want all the salty things, craving chips like a mad thing.

    Told our best mates last night. They've been told they can't have any more kids, so I was nervous in telling them, but it was grand. Got a big hug and pancakes. :)

    Probably going to try to keep it to myself at work until the new fiscal year and see if my contract will be extended.

    Mmmm salt.... Walkers ready salted crisps... Yum....

    I told my friend as I cant keep anything from her....

    She cried, i cried.... My due date is her birthday even though that most defnitely wont happen, shes doubly excited...

    Other than that, its just both sets of parents that know... Very apprehensive about OH mother knowing.... But hopefully she will prove me wrong...


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭lolademmers
