    My migraine finally went and I went to work.
    Sounds stupid but the clarity I feel after a migraine is wonderful. Its so lovely to be able to see and not to feel like my eyes are going to fall out.
    Nausea is hanging around but I can live with that.
    This pregnancy feels different to the last.
    I didnt get any nausea last time so Im embracing feeling rubbish.
    But this baby is already grounded for making me feel pants. Hahaha.
    Have a good weekend all x

    I totally understand! I don't want to take them either. Luckily haven't needed to so far. I'm paranoid about taking anything at all.

    I've seen a lot of other people using 'for-head' or whatever that stuff is you put onto your forehead, which I believe is safe for use too. But again, check with the pharmacist! And it might not do much for a migraine anyway. Still, something else to try, maybe. :)

    I use tiger balm which is similar, just a menthol and a headache balm but I guess I will have to ride them out. I will speak to the midwife when I see her. Thanks for everyones suggestions x

    Hello ladies!

    It doesn't seem long since I was on here last (DD is almost 11 months), but we found out yesterday that number two is on it's way! Excited, but it was a bit of shock that it happened so quickly. I calculate to be 4+6 today, with a due date of 19th January (mind you, DD was induced at 42 weeks, so hoping this one doesn't want to be an Xmas baby!!).

    Is anyone still managing the lists?

    Good evening all.
    I am gently dipping my toes into the group as we revived our BFP on a clearblue digital this morning. We are 4weeks and 2 days. I shall be ringing the doctors tomorrow just to let them know. It!!!8217;s all so surreal. It has not sunk in yet.

    I have been so tired this past week and I can now blame it on this haha. But other than feeling tired, I have been cramping and I was sick on Saturday but felt fine afterwards - that is when I knew something was up. First time pregnancy so everything is brand new and worrying to me. I had a little amount of pink blood when I wiped this morning so my head went in to overdrive but I have calmed myself down.

    I had to take another test this morning just to prove to myself that their is a little seed growing nicely in my tummy. and of course there is. I'm trying to remain calm, cool and collect but i cannot help worrying.

    I.m the same.
    I have taken loads of tests.
    Have my booking in appointment Thursday and am debating booking an early scan.
    Had a MC at ten weeks last time but baby had stopped growing at six.
    My back is killing me today but I may have slept funny.
    Still feeling sick and got sore boobs so i.m taking that as good at the minute.

    Thank fully i have no more in the house or each morning i'd be taking another. I feel like that is all I have for reassurance this early on. I have a pain in my Left Boob today, and tummy cramps with a sickly feeling. i'm happy to feel these things as it lets me know that everything is ok.
    I have to ring the doctors next Friday (i'll be 6 weeks) to book in for my 8 week appointment.
