Hello mummies!

I'm so sorry I haven't posted in aaaaaggggeeeesss. I've been very naughty and have been reading but not posting.

I'm way too far behind to do persies but just wanted to say firstly congratulations to everyone that has recently joined. There seems to be quite a few of us in the first trimester which is fantastic. Hopefully we'll all be here a 6-9 months yet! And belly rubs to all of you other ladies, hope you are all okay.

I'm doing well, m/s has eased off. It has been so reassuring to have strong symptoms this time. I've even got blotchy skin (which I don't like but DH assures me no one else can see) and skin tags (so weird).

I've just been to a dr appointment today and she got me on the u/s machine so we got to see little bambino again. "He" is going great guns, measuring spot on and was wiggling around like crazy. Was the most amazing thing to see him moving, made it really real. I'm starting, albeit hesitantly, to breath a little easier now.

I just can' t wait for the first trimester to be over. I feel as though I've been stuck in first trimester since May because even though we waited a cycle between the miscarriage and trying I still felt like I had all the symptoms during that time even though HCG had left my system. It was like my mind was making my body act pregnant. I guess my emotional state was a bit all over the show as well during that time. Consequently though, 6 months is a long time to be in the first trimester! Only 2 weeks left though.

For those that have had bubs before, is the first trimester the worst? Does it get easier from here, emotionally and physically? I mean do you become less anxious? I know it is normal to be anxious but I've been beside myself for a lot of the past couple of months. And physically, do you really get less tired and "blah" in second trimester. I'm exhausted and I only have me to worry about, no toddlers or kids. Don't know how ladies do it with other kids but I guess you just do.


I'm going to try to post more often ladies from now on! Hope you're all keeping well and growing big strong babies.
