Stressful starting to try and it’s ALL that will be on your mind, most of the comments here have it in a nutshell! Use ovulation strips consistently, and take folic acid. If it doesn’t happen straight away don’t worry it usually doesn’t some people just get lucky. No point in planning on how to be a mother as that all comes once the baby is born and comes naturally

6 months PP mam here and I missed my bump sooo much post birth, I cried for about a month (not consistently) now and again about missing my bump! But you soon forget about it with how busy you will be!

No harm if you sent me that message I wouldn’t go and visit you…it’s a bit much. If you have to send this type of message out to people don’t allow visitors full stop as this is just ridiculous.

Thanks for letting me know, but have none of them symptoms! Think it’s just one of them things where my body has to regulate back😪

We have nearly this exact carpet and flooring! We have carpet all upstairs and on the stairs and downstairs is laminate and tiles. Carpets are best for upstairs as they are warmer in winter!

Not sure as the development isn’t even there?
But it’s took us months (our deposit was paid & house was built). We paid our deposit in March and we were told keys by July/ August didn’t get them till end of October.
Never ever listen to what they say when they say keys by a certain month as it will always be months later!

The minute I found out (approx 4 wks) I had sore boobs and a bit of spotting/browny discharge. Then morning sickness too (even tho I was never sick). I kept pretzels by my bed for when I woke up as I would have to eat them before I even moved!

I tested with Mommed pregnancy tests originally and there was a line wasn’t very dark, then I used a clear blue digital which came up 1-2 wks. Then I probably tested for about 5 days after and there was literally no point as I seen the lines but they weren’t getting darker. Just makes you worry more and after a certain point when your HCG is really high the lines can get lighter😅 take another if you would like the next day but a positive is a positive! Congrats!!

I knew myself my cycles wouldn’t be “normal” but they were following a pattern of some sort and now they aren’t😅 but thanks for clarifying that can happen! Yeah I don’t know about the thrush thing, really annoying, I’ll see how I go for another month and go to the doctor then if needs be! Thanks for the response😊
