Anyone get sick in the two week wait and still get pregnant????

I’m honestly soooo upset right now! I was banking on this month being my month. I am 8 DPO and I woke up sick this morning. I was sort of feeling pregnancy symptoms and now I’m just so worried that this will affect implantation. Did anyone get sick and the two week wait I’m still end up pregnant? To make it worse I am in training for work this week so I have to be on my game and it’s causing me to be super run down.

Being sick should not affect implantation

do you think it’s okay to take prednisone or some kind of meds until i test positive? I’m gunna head to urgent care to get some meds now but just afraid of sounding stupid requesting meds ok for pregnancy since I’m currently not pregnant yet.

I had Covid during my first pregnancy right before I found out. I was taking meds

i mean that’s horrible but I’m glad it didn’t affect anything ! I’m waiting for my covid and flu tests to come back right now :/ i do have a fever tho so it’s clearly something!

Yea my little guy is in everything as we speak. So I wouldn’t be too worried. Babies inside and outside of the womb are pretty dang strong. This one tries to hurt himself daily now that he’s crawling lol

it came back negative but told me they are still suspecting covid based on how quick it came on and progressed (i only started feeling sick today and then it got so bad) and said it won’t be positive on the first day. They gave me a steroid shot so i hope it doesn’t affect implantation 🤞🏼

Absolutely

Ugh nope no luck. Got my period ughhhhhhhhhh

Ahhh sorry 😞

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
