Anxious

6 weeks 2 days today and anxious as hell. Had symptoms like hungry, food aversions, needing a wee constantly, skin isn’t great. Did have sore boobs/nipples but not as bad now.

Still testing but the line on the right hand side was getting faint (dye stealer) last week and now a bit darker. Would that be a cause for concern?

Have a scan in 2 days can’t wait to put my mind at ease!

I’ve been testing all the time worried about the same things and I think stop taking tests and wait for your scan, tests can be so inaccurate for so many reasons, wishing all the best for you and your baby! X

Thank you, I know this is what I should do but so used to testing as had 2 MC in June/July so this is my 3rd pregnancy in 4 months ☹️ arghh can’t wait for weds hopefully can see a heartbeat 🤞🏻✨

Thank you. I think I’m going to have to stop testing for my own sanity. I keep telling myself I’m pregnant right now and have no reason to believe I’m not 🤞🏻☹️✨ everything crossed for weds x

If you look up the hook effect - it’s when your hcg is getting so high that the tests start to become fainter - if you dilute your wee with water it might go back to the test line being darker. I know it’s hard but try to look at it as a good thing - as you said you’re pregnant and there’s no reason to believe you’re not, try and enjoy it! Congratulations ❤️

where has the time gone!!!

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!
