Pregnancy #59

[Keera]

Anyone else have absolutely no appetite? Not nauseous, just not hungry. Have to force myself to eat something.

I get hungry and start eating then after two bites I’m like yuck I don’t want this. Not sick or anything just feel full.

I had my reassurance scan today - measuring 6 weeks 3 days and heartbeat even visible on an abdominal scan! Cried in the room as it’s the first scan I’ve ever had where everything’s been as it should

We've just picked up babys snuzpod, if the neighbours didn't know I was pregnant I'm sure they'll know now seeing us carry that in the house
Collecting the perfect prep day and night machine tomorrow too, it's all started to feel a lot more real 🥹

I feel horrible today I’m absolutely exhausted and feel like I could sleep for two weeks. I also feel so huge but I’m at the stage where there still isn’t a proper bump. And I’m going to a birthday party tonight which is an hour drive away and no clue what to wear. It’s such a nice day too which makes me feel worse as usually I’d be making the most of it. Sorry for the moan!

I am sooooo hungry all the time, anyone else?

Going to pick my pram up in a minute! I am SO anxious about it and I dunno why we've just hoovered the car so the boxes don't get dog hair on.....I think we've lost our minds

Ahh this is so exciting, which one have you gone for? I did chuckle at hoovering the car bit

This is lovely news, I’m so happy for you

We did it and I was like why have we just done this please?
We've got the Egg 3 in Celestial, so it's a nice navy colour, we just loved how the hood came all the way down cos he's a summer baby.
We've opted to not have them show us how to assemble it so I'm sure I can update everyone on how well that goes at a later date

I’ve been buying flowers at the same flower lady at the market for over 8 years, she can be a bit eccentric at times but she’s very nice. Today I chose peonies and she asks me if I am a mother already. I said No… but I will be soon. 🥹 She picks up the flower and caresses my cheek with it and says “Nothing is softer than this except the touch of a baby. Remember me when you have it. “ She proceeds making a bouquet and turns to me “So are you pregnant?” and I said yes but no one knows about it yet. She gave us a blessing and told my husband to take care of me. She also gave me a bouquet so big I could barely carry it home. 🥹 It’s so much easier to tell someone who doesn’t know you tho? So now 2 days after BFP the people who know I’m pregnant are my best friend, my mum and my florist. Life is funny sometimes.

Oh lord. Mine’s getting delivered next week, didn’t even think about the assembly part
Just about managed to put the Tripp trapp together during the week

I just found out I'm pregnant (4w6d) after my first IVF (I have had four IUI's before). This is my second pregnancy, but my first ended in an MMC last August. I've been trying for a couple of years now, and I should be happy, but I'm not.

I am terrified. I cannot stop thinking about having another MMC. I have way more symptoms this time around: nausea, heartburn, sore and itchy breasts/nipples, and insomnia (I normally sleep from 10/11 PM to 6 AM each night, but I've been waking up between 2 and 4 AM since Wednesday cause I have to pee and have trouble getting back to sleep).

Last time, I only had sore breasts and nothing else, and I knew something was wrong, yet it still broke me when I went to my first ultrasound, and there was no heartbeat. I need to find a way to de-stress (as a highly stressed person at all times). I know I'm going to drive myself insane with worry waiting for my first ultrasound, and I'm scared of getting too excited to be let down again

Exciting!! We don’t get ours for ages. OH pushed the delivery date because he said about making most of warranty blah blah I just want it now! Although he’s right ultimately. Due date is 4th Sept and we agreed on 16th July as I said I want it absolutely done for August just in case he did come early. Same date for the car seat too.

I was the exact same cried there and then and in the car park. The relief was immense

First and foremost, congratulations the first trimester especially is going to be hard and anxiety inducing but please just know that your symptoms will come and go, they won’t be the same every day and that is completely normal and not at all an indicator of anything. Take it a day at a time, and time WILL go slow and it will be hard, but in a few weeks time you’ll be looking back and realise how far you’ve come. Sending you so much love. Do you have an early scan booked in with the IVF clinic? x

I collected my Bbhugme pillow earlier, currently using it to prop me up better on the sofa with the added bonus of it being an arm rest either side. Current verdict 10/10 why didn't I splurge sooner. Thank you so much for the recommendation!

Yes! It's a recent development for me (nearly 27 weeks) but I'm having like 4 meals a day plus snacks...

Ah so exciting! This is 9 boxes! I'm just gonna lie down and pretend it doesn't exist for now hahaha

Congrats from a fellow IVF mama, like someone said above, just take it one day at a time. Today you are pregnant and that’s incredible. Does your clinic book in an early scan? If not, or if it’s not for a few weeks, and funds allow, maybe book in a private scan? Sending lots of love, we were successful on our third attempt (surrogacy - I’m carrying the babies) and we had one loss and one unsuccessful attempt before this so I know some of what you’re going through xx

Fellow IVF mum here. I thought the TWW would be the most agonising part, how wrong I was. Try not to symptom watch, as mine definitely came and went, instead I went for A LOT of private scans to reassure myself. I know it’s easier said than done, but try and keep busy. When is your clinic scan?
