I am googling everything and the internet keeps telling me it is “probably normal” but I’m so stressed (which also isn’t good for baby!). I’m getting weird little cramps all over my tummy - some of which feel like wind but some of them feel just bizarre. The bottom of my tummy feels heavy. I had sex with my husband and after orgasm I had period like pain for about 5 minutes afterwards which really stressed me out!

I keep worrying that I don’t “feel” pregnant - I have had a little bit of nausea but it’s just low level feeling queasy and I think I have a bit of hypernosmia which is funny and I am so so thirsty. But then also some of the day I feel totally normal which I hate because I’m worried the pregnancy has just gone away.

I know worry isn’t good for baby either but I suppose I’m just looking for experiences that this is all normal and nothing to worry about - especially the period like pain after sex!

I’m going to tell my husband when he gets home from work but I’m a bit nervous. He obviously knew we were trying lol but neither of us expected to get pregnant on the first cycle as we are in our 30s. We thought we would try now and hope to get pregnant by the summer to give us more time to align it with our house move.

But it looks like we are having a Christmas baby! I am delighted and will be excited after I get over the initial shock of getting pregnant so quickly.

I’m a yapper so there’s a big part of me that wants to tell our parents and siblings immediately. Is that weird? Everyone else can wait until after the 12 week scan but if something happened I wouldn’t keep it from my mum…so why would I not tell her I’m pregnant?

My house has only been on the market just over a week and I’m already kind of over it. We have had 2 viewings and another one later this week.

The first viewing I cleaned the house top to bottom, sprayed stuff to make it smell nice, put everything away including towels in the bathroom to really make it as tidy as possible.

Second viewing I had a quick run round but we were on our way out to a wedding so I didn’t have time to do all the titivating I did before.

Now we have another one and I just CANNOT BE BOTHERED. My house is generally clean and tidy - I clean the bathroom and hoover twice a week, clean the kitchen daily, the sofa is always arranged properly and I always make the bed.

I absolutely cannot be running around in a frenzy tidying up like I did the first time for every single potential buyer and I’m thinking the most I will do from now is empty the bathroom bin, put the towels away and make sure there are no dishes on the side waiting to be washed.

Do you go overboard or do you just make sure it is generally presentable?
