So this is the other strange thing on 11/11/20 I had this really weird period like not heavy or anything which is not like me but that’s the last one I logged. Having irregular periods is just confusing and I have been put forward for investigation as I was told I have pcos. I really do feel sad for anyone who struggles and has painful periods / long cycles it’s so hard to know anything which is why I started logging everything. X3+ weeks means you conceived over 3 weeks ago, so by “official dates” you would be 5+ weeks pregnant. My periods are also totally irregular, so I feel your pain with the difficulties of that. The only way to know for sure without having a solid date for last period, or for ovulation, is a scan. The good news is if you give them the date of your last period and your cycles are long, they’ll automatically assume you are further on (as they use the 28 day cycle model for everyone) so you should get a scan sooner rather than later. What was the date of your last period?

The cycle I got pregnant on this time I didn’t ovulate until day 54 (I think), the cycle before that had only been 35 days in total. It’s horrendously difficult to know what’s going on when your body is being so idiotic like that.
If you take 11/11 as your LMP you are now technically 7 weeks pregnant so should be able to get a scan in 4-5 weeks which would give more accurate dates. With my first my dates meant I got a scan at “12” weeks but I was only actually 9.
Ooh I love Caelan! Only thing with Saoirse is our surname is Quirke. Don’t know if it’s too rhymey? That’s with saying it like Ser-sha like Saoirse Ronan.
thank you for telling me all this my mum is so funny she says they didn’t even have tests with weeks when she had me so she has no clue
I am just really nervous worries and now I understand why I am sooo tired I could sleep constantly x
I don’t think it is, but it depends on how you feel? It also sounds different in different accents, and you have to feel comfortable with it!
I loved Struan but our eldest is Ruariadh, and we call him Ru. The prospect of Ru and Stru was too rhyming for me
Phew! I was going to make a list on my phone over the next few weeks then go to the supermarket and blitz their maternity pads and nappy sections
will start my bag when I start my perineal massage at 35/40 - oh the glamour!!It’s very normal to be nervous and anxious, although I know that doesn’t help stop those feelings. But I would imagine everyone on this thread would say they’ve felt the same in those first weeks, and even beyond. Pregnancy is a scary time. And yes, that first trimester tiredness is absolutely the worst tiredness ever.Bone aching exhaustion. Hopefully it passes for you soon.thank you for telling me all this my mum is so funny she says they didn’t even have tests with weeks when she had me so she has no clue
I do the same (the blitz, not the massage, never could bring myself to, and in hindsight it may have helped me not rip bow to sternPhew! I was going to make a list on my phone over the next few weeks then go to the supermarket and blitz their maternity pads and nappy sections
) I just whizz round and grab all the mum bits and a pack of newborn nappies and throw it all in my bag with my all important snacks!Ive had three preemies, so by the last one, mine was pretty much packed after my 20 weeks scan
Planned section will be a lot nicer for, well, planning!
Do you think perineal massages help? I started them with my first at 30 weeks and ended up with a 3rd degree tearPhew! I was going to make a list on my phone over the next few weeks then go to the supermarket and blitz their maternity pads and nappy sections
Didn't bother with my second and it was only a small tear
No wonder! See my kids like it in there too much, they don’t have any desire to leave, even when they are being forcefully vacuumed, or forceped, outIve had three preemies, so by the last one, mine was pretty much packed after my 20 weeks scan
My last was a section as well and they kept saying “don’t worry if you go in to labour before the date” and I kept saying “I really am not worried about that at all” It’s mad how some babies want out ASAP and some want to stay in forever.
Don’t know (FTM) but it sounds fun and can get the husband involvedDo you think perineal massages help? I started them with my first at 30 weeks and ended up with a 3rd degree tear

Yes it was 12 years ago!That latter advice is not true although have heard it before so not surprised if your friend was told that in the past (unless she was telling a white lie to make her smoking more socially acceptable) Plenty of good quality nicotine replacement products on the market. Smoking in pregnancy is always a Bad Thing.
How many weeks are people when they do their hospital bags? I’m 29/40 but moving house soon and probably not going to be properly in the new house until mid Feb - due 19th March eek!
I can't even remember when I did my bag last time round. In fact i can't remember much about anything last time round
sooner the better!Yeah I’ve seen it, it looks bloody awfulSounds like fun ... you must not have seen the diagram my husband's friend showed him from the pregnancy book they are both reading
Literally two thumbs in there trying to make it as wide as possible!
but worth a bash if it might help!anyone else have insomnia? Went to bed at half 10 and still wide awake
I’m struggling to sleep so badly. Last few nights have been 5amYeah I’ve seen it, it looks bloody awful

Baby’s always moved most after midnight but she goes until about 3am now, then my bump goes rock hard for hours, it’s like trying to sleep on a watermelon. I’ve got what look like bruises on the outside where she pushes out so hard, even when it softens my stomach is so tender it’s painful to lay sideways so I just lay googling all sorts of random crap until the tiredness outweighs the discomfort. I know I should put my phone down really
re:the massage, I intend to too. From what I’ve read, This study says it’s only mildly effective and it’s no more benefit doing it everyday over once or twice a week but anything that saves me stitches is worth a shot imo!
I think my husband keeps forgetting I’m pregnant. Yesterday he got all giddy and grabbed me playfully for a rough hug dancey thing and his arms grabbed round my chest and it hurt so badly! I had to yell him to stop and let go a few times before he realised. Then today I was sitting in the floor with the dog and he walked by and kicked me in the back! Obviously an accident but I’m still sore from it now. I’ve had to have a word and remind him to be gentle and remind him to be careful.
Can someone just reassure me that things like that are ok? I’m only 5 weeks so still worrying that anything could cause mc.

Baby is pretty well protected especially at the minute, your uterus is still hidden in your pelvis. I have 2 kids climbing over me constantly
Totally forgot how much your emotions can make you dislike your partner so much in pregnancy I had this last time and if he breaths or coughs in the wrong way I’m like a bat out of hell. Anyone else?

I have a horse and was worried about riding but the mw said the baby is really well protected nestled where it is it. The way she described it was put an egg in a plastic box with water and try and break it- virtually impossible and that's what it's like with our wee beans! It's so hard not too worry so I totally get where your coming from but that analogy definite helped me. Also I was so reassured by getting an early scan (I had to go for one for bleeding on the NHS which turned out to be nothing) but you can get one from 6 weeks at the private scan clinics up here so that might help alleviate your fears a bit too
Omg yes. I couldn’t sleep the other night and when my partner asked why in the morning I said ‘because you were breathing’Totally forgot how much your emotions can make you dislike your partner so much in pregnancy
