Me too!! I used to top my baths up with kettle water so they were so hot they turned my skin red. Now they feel cold and pointlessI miss bathing like a lobster
Okay body, approaching 19 weeks and apparently I'm suddenly back to throwing up at night?!
Also that awful leg cramp I had a couple of nights ago still hurts, feels like I've torn a muscle.
Might try and use all this to go down the sympathy route with Mr Brew to get that private gender scan this weekend ļæ¼ļæ¼ (even if it is less than two weeks til out 20 week NHS scan, ha!)

In hospital. The dull aches just havenāt subsided since Wednesday and now itās a bit crampy. Not like overly worried but rang up and they offered to see me so also not going to turn that down. Better to be safe than sorry as Iām going away for a few days on Monday so donāt want to be abroad and still worrying
We tried to be āgoodā and not have one, but then I had a NICU koala baby who I had to pump every couple of hours for, took me two months to get him latching. If someone was home it was fine, but if not I had him in the nest next to me on the settee so I could physically reassure him while I was hooked up. (Was using a hospital grade pump that plugs in the mains and heād howl in the bassinet
).So I found ours v useful and used it loads in the end. Only resorted to it after bub wouldnāt accept the safer options though, and never used it without me being sat there awake, or in the side sleeper or cot.
I didnāt get the main branded one, I got the Ickle Bubba version as it comes with 2x covers as standard so could always have a clean one on hand.

Last night was the first night in my whole pregnancy since about 6 weeks I havenāt been for a wee once through the night 
soon as I opened my eyes this morning though I needed to leg it the toilet, I felt like I was going to burst

Hey ladies, did any of you not ever get a dark line on your tests? I took the clear blue one and it was really dark yesterday morning, but all the cheapie strip tests have only ever been light lines, I'm worried about no progression of lines. Xx
I donāt know why, maybe I just donāt drink enough but I never need to pee as much as they say you do in pregnancy. I donāt wake up in the night but I am bursting in the morning.Last night was the first night in my whole pregnancy since about 6 weeks I havenāt been for a wee once through the night
How many DPO are you? It could be that they are different sensitivities? Your hcg is meant to double every 48 hours so I wouldnāt worry about it if itās been one day. I did test for line progression every other day for a week or so but if you can try not to test it would be better

Hope everything is okay!
I'm not sure I think I'm around 12-13dpo. I will try and not test but it's sooo hard not to! X
I was the same until a few days ago. I was peeing less in the day. I donāt wake up in the night to pee (yet) but I am desperate in the morning!

I know itās so much easier said than done.
Iāve had a look at my test pics from 12 DPO and for the normal easy at home strip it was still super faint. So if you can wait a couple of days it should show the progression then

I hope you're okay @Laughalong xx
How are you both doing @Laughalong and @watermelon sugar ?
Any sign of baby moving yet @raspberryjuice? Have you tried all the old wives tales yet?

So was I, was terrified it would stay or get worse but honestly there is such an improvement. I had mentioned it to my GP and at a midwifeās visit and they seemed to think it was there for the duration. I was worried it would go into my back as well, was terrified to move in case I made it worse. Couldnāt get an in person appointment with hospital physio so went privately. Expensive but well worth it and sheāll be invaluable after the baby as well for the old pelvic floor too. Hope you get some relief soon xxx

You do not know how jealous that makes meā¦Last night was the first night in my whole pregnancy since about 6 weeks I havenāt been for a wee once through the night
Thanks, I'm sorry if I'm annoying you girls by posting this kind of stuff but it's my first ever pregnancy so I'm still learning, this is the test I did this morning x
I feel a bit better! I felt so sick and dizzy yesterday but I donāt now and the pains have subsided. I felt baby move a few times too, so Iām hoping I get a bit more reassurance after the scan later. Thank you for asking
I say this every thread so people will be very bored of it, sorry, but testing canāt tell you anything about the progression of pregnancy. It can give major anxiety when the lines go up and down in intensity and even in sad outcomes lines can get darker, tests can be strong positive for weeks.
Only thing you can do is to watch for any spotting or really severe cramping and book a scan for 7 weeks.
Easier said than done I know but concentrate on keeping down stress and anxiety, taking your vit D and folic acid and quitting any unhealthy habits, those 3 weeks to a scan will fly x
Let us know how the scan goes later xI feel a bit better! I felt so sick and dizzy yesterday but I donāt now and the pains have subsided. I felt baby move a few times too, so Iām hoping I get a bit more reassurance after the scan later. Thank you for asking

100% agree with this @Elltee, itās so hard to keep calm, but I just had to tell myself āIām pregnant until proven otherwiseā x
