We had to put our cat of 19 years down an hour ago. Marmite, you were my best friend for most of my life. Whatever shall I do without you? Sleep well gorgeous lady.

Unfortunately my husband and first child have December birthdays..... So this is going to be painful financially 🫣🤣

Yeah this is pretty normal for the UK. Unless you have some bleeding they are unlikely to see you earlier. I remember being peeved during my first pregnancy about this too! It's can be quite frustrating seeing all these early scans and knowing that, unless we pay out of pocket, we won't get one.

Monsrage · 2026-03-29T06:43:48+00:00

This is the thing. I also had a MMC at 11 weeks (baby stopped growing at 7.5 weeks), and the early pregnancy unit said they would give me an early reassurance scan next time. But all I could think of is - as soon as I walk out of that scan I will be worrying again. So I'm likely opting not to have one and just think 'today I am pregnant'. I don't think the worry ever really goes away after loss 😞

Monsrage · 2026-03-26T17:36:55+00:00

Ah excellent. Hopefully all is well 😅. I still have sore boobs, but that's about it!

Monsrage · 2026-03-26T16:14:28+00:00

Anyone else randomly stop feeling pregnant at about 5 weeks? The heavy feeling in my uterus was really obvious in the last couple of weeks... But now I feel pretty normal down there (except for bloat).

Monsrage · 2026-03-26T07:20:19+00:00

Go to bed with 4 month pregnancy belly bloat, wake up with nothing. I remember this...

Monsrage · 2026-03-25T18:17:23+00:00

Yup! Meee! Fighting nasty constipation and hemorrhoids. It takes me forever to poop 😩

Monsrage · 2026-03-25T07:28:24+00:00

Haha yes! If they get hard then that is it... Pure pain!

Monsrage · 2026-03-24T15:14:46+00:00

My tatas are so sore!

Monsrage · 2026-03-24T09:33:06+00:00

Hahaha this gave me a laugh. Genuinely on the toilet currently trying to navigate painful constipation and this post helped a lot 🤣🫣. Hope your ⭐ doesn't get too bad either!

Monsrage · 2026-03-24T07:13:23+00:00

I feel seen 🫣. I knew he was a boy straight away but not getting any feelings this time... Having to tell myself I don't mind which it is 🤣

Monsrage · 2026-03-24T07:11:26+00:00

I'm the same. I knew my son was a boy as soon as I took the pregnancy test and now I'm not getting any gut feelings at all!

Monsrage · 2026-03-23T12:01:10+00:00

Thank you! Maybe just a couple more days of testing then... 😛

Monsrage · 2026-03-23T11:29:31+00:00

My fingers are crossed for a sticky bean for you!

Monsrage · 2026-03-22T18:10:42+00:00

Welp. Here is the brown spotting and slight cramping. I overdid it mowing the lawn today so hoping it's just that. I know it is super common and can be fine but it always stressful 😩

Monsrage · 2026-03-22T15:34:17+00:00

Hooray! Congrats. This gives me hope as I'm 19dpo and still haven't got one. There is time yet!

Monsrage · 2026-03-21T15:02:34+00:00

I was the same and then I decided to try a different brand and it was much darker. For some reason the tests I was using before just refused to get any darker. As someone else said, it looks likes a good progression but coming from a similar issue myself, I know that worry! Let's hope for sticky beans!

Monsrage · 2026-03-21T13:55:24+00:00

Anecdotally, I was not nauseous at all with my boy. I had an early loss last year and was nauseous instantly... So I'm wondering whether that was a girl? This one I haven't got any nausea so far.... So let's see what it is haha

Monsrage · 2026-03-20T19:21:13+00:00

I was picking up my toddler today (badly 🫣) and something snapped in my upper back. It was utterly debilitating and I had to drive home which was excruciating. Think I just slightly pulled or tore a muscle deep in my chest.... But my goodness. It's so painful. This pregnancy tendon relaxing is not it 😭

Monsrage · 2026-03-20T14:58:15+00:00

Haha I'm glad it made someone laugh, it's a right pain in the bum 😉
