WE ARE PREGNANT!
The week before we are due to go and sort out IVF treatment we get a miracle BFP! And boy is it a miracle, all of our tests say this is not possible... :)
I feel bad saying "pregnant" out loud, because its still really early, and i am oober superstitious, i am 5 weeks 5 days today... i am petrified and elated all at once. Every twinge and niggle i feel worries me to death and i swear my panic attacks are going to come back real soon! I am so worried that it will be an ectopic, as i have started to get a few sharp twinges in my right side today.... other than this though i had a few AF like pains during the first week which seem to have all but gone now. I get the odd dull ache or twinge if i stand up too quickly sometimes too.
Oddly my bowels aren't blocked up as all the books say, more the other way! Can someone reassure me please!!!!
I don't feel too bad at the moment apart from worrying about pains etc. I have had some nausea but it soon goes away after a little food. If i eat a big meal however i pay for it after!! Seems small and regular is the way to go! I have heard that the 6 week mark is when nausea really kicks in so we will wait and see on that one!
I had complete insomnia the week before BFP and a few days after but am settling back into sleep now. I have awful lower back pain at times, but have started to do the exercises mentioned in all the books, in a bid to strengthen my back and combat this pain! Warm baths are a god send!
The boobies are swelling and veiny and starting to darken ever so slightly!
I have booked a private scan on the 2nd Nov to check the dates are correct, and hopefully to put my mind at rest about this little pea inside of me... I AM HOPING AND PRAYING THIS IS GONNA BE OK.... Here in the UK you don't get to have a scan until 12-14 weeks which i think is awful!!! I have been to the doc who referred me straight to the midwife, but i haven't heard from her either, so i am kinda on my own for the next few weeks :(
I am over the moon but being cautiously optimistic (contradiction or what) - pray for us please x

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you left that clinic. HAHAHAha.
Congratulations!
Ok, I didn't get sick until 8 weeks. As far as bowels go, I've never been more regular than I was when i first got pregnant, not everyone gets constipated! I always had pains on one side or the other, I had "menstrual" cramping for several weeks, spotting from weeks 8-12, and back pain as well. The back pain comes and goes still but not as much as it did in first trimester.
If you start to get horrible morning sickness, eat first thing in the morning before getting out of bed, and wait at least 10 minutes after eating to get up, unless you're getting up to run to the toilet to avoid puking on your plate.
I can't wait to hear about your first scan!!! wohoo!
Can you believe it? I still dont think i can lol!
