8 WEEKS PREGNANT // BLEEDING UPDATE, SYMPTOMS, DO I THINK IT'S A BOY OR A GIRL?

[@thepowelltribe4718]

I’m so happy you’re doing better! The fatigue is beyond crazy!! So fun you’re waiting until baby is born to know gender! Looking forward to your next bumpdate.😊

[@MeetTheWildes]

Thank you so much! 10 weeks today - can't wait to film and upload an update at the weekend!

[@lucierivers]

Super glad to watch this update, and hear that bleeding has stopped plus symptoms have begun! My heart was in my mouth when I watched your last update - I, too, had bleeding at seven weeks, and watching you talk brought back the memories of those horrid two days - which I'd totally suppressed. But now I type one-handed holding my seven week old boy and feel so lucky, and relieved to hear things are currently on track for you. Also big fan of being team green and highly recommend it. Frederic was a surprise (well, to everyone else - I was always sure he was a boy). I'm so excited to hear what you name number five! Sending best wishes and love for the rest of your pregnancy.

[@MeetTheWildes]

Oh, Lucie, I hope it wasn't too emotionally triggering for you. The unexplained bleeding is just awful, isn't it. I'm so glad that Frederic came through safely and is in your arms now, that gives me hope. I think a surprise will be SO much fun this time round, though I already feel sooo impatient to know what it is! Sending love, thank you for leaving such a lovely note. x

So lovely to see you amber, hope the exhaustion soon wears off. Xx

[@MeetTheWildes]

Thank you so much! How are you doing now? xx

[@Sueradiohead]

Meet The Wildes Still pretty much incapacitated, although I am enjoying catching up on my ‘to read’ book pile :) xx

Well Harry has had cold after cold and doesn't sleep well when he's like that,so last night I got 2 hours 😩. But compared to you it's nothing lol. Your voice is so relaxing. Harry is having a quick nap now,so jobs to be done in the house. It's going to be so strange as bump grows it will be half the size your use too. It's so nice when IVF works for people,I had 3 failed so I know everything you have gone through to get your children. But thanks to my friend being a surrogate I'm now knackered 24/7 😂😂. Xx

[@MeetTheWildes]

Hi Sharon, I can't imagine the pain of three unsuccessful cycles. You are a STRONG human! I'd love to hear your surrogacy story one day. xx

[@madelovinglycrochet]

So glad to hear things have settled down xx

[@MeetTheWildes]

Thank you! How are you, my lovely? xx

[@leishagreenleaf833]

So happy everything is going well. Such a traumatic bleed on the train , such a relief all is good with you and baby !

[@MeetTheWildes]

Thank you so much! It was so scary; I feel SO lucky and so grateful that everything seems to be ok. x

[@DearBeautiful]

Beige, salty foods definitely end up being pregnancy staples for me; especially in the first trimester. I always have the same attitude; the pregnancy vitamins will just have to pick up the slack. It’s so exciting you’re thinking of having a surprise, I’ve loved surprises so much. Although I do suddenly get very impatient in the last couple of months and end up wishing I’d found out. x

[@MeetTheWildes]

I'm DYING to know what you are having, Luce. ;) Thank you for always being so supportive, it's good to know that yours grow appropriately on a beige diet too! x

[@emmamitchell6818]

I'm glad everything seems to be going well. I'm 10.5 weeks now and have similar symptoms including scattiness and just not being my usual self. I'm normally great at remembering when people ask me to do things now I'm the reminder queen. I'm convinced mine is a boy and as far as I have seen if you have a strong feeling either way chances are it'll be that gender. Stay green! We're going grey and waiting until the day to know which team we will be on. My sister has 3 girls and my husband's family has 4 boys so it's going to be really exciting. I hope your pregnancy carries on progressing well. I just need to call lister and find out whether I'm supposed to just stop progesterone at 12 weeks or cut down and stop gradually. Any idea? x

[@MeetTheWildes]

I tend to cut down gradually - usually way before twelve weeks, to be honest (I bloody hate those things!!). I've read that by seven weeks, your body should be producing enough progesterone in a healthy pregnancy. I tend to reduce down to one/day for a few days, then one/every other day for a few days, then just stop. You should probably check with the Lister though because I am in no way medically qualified! I'm so excited to read that you are planning a surprise too... I've never waited to find out before, but I think it will be super fun. x

[@sharonjohnson5670]

Thanks Amber. You have no choice but to accept your not going to be a mum. Don't get me wrong the were times I cried and thought why me as I'm so maternal. And then after 20years of waiting a little miracle came to me. When I was going through my IVF there were no blogs or KZbin then,so glad no one to talk to about it really. Yes one day I should write about it. Thanks for your lovely comment. Xx

[@WeMadeThisLife]

Ah I'm so glad things are going well now! What a scary time you had. x

[@MeetTheWildes]

Thank you so much! It was truly horrendous - but everything seems wonderfully, boringly normal now x

[@Ohsojpx]

Aw this is so reassuring x

[@MeetTheWildes]

Miss your beautiful face. Hope you're well. xx

[@Ohsojpx]

Aw and you. Are you going to the Insta thing? I'm waiting to hear if there is space!x

[@MeetTheWildes]

I'm going! Would LOVE to see you there. xx

[@laurenshard5496]

This is so exciting fingers and everything still crossed!! Would be so exciting to be team green od love to do that but i think I'm far to impatient! Do you have a scan date lovely? Xx

[@MeetTheWildes]

I do - but I don't remember when it is!! April some time, I must ask Kirsty to find the letter for me..! Loving your recent updates and isn't your insta looking bloody lovely these days!! Can't wait to hear what Rupert's little sister will be called - I love your taste in names! xx

[@Unfilteredmummymakeup]

Yay this is fab news ! I went off crisps when I was pregnant with my 2nd boy and loved vinegar and mayonnaise when I was pregnant with my 1st boy ! Cravings are so funny. That would be so cool if u waited to find out the sex when baby is born I would love to think I would be able to wait too 😊 x x x x

[@MeetTheWildes]

Isn't it strange how cravings can vary so much even when you're carrying the same sex?! Human bodies are odd. How are you, lovely? xx

[@Unfilteredmummymakeup]

Meet The Wildes I know it's so weird 😊 yes very well thanku loving my new boobs 😊 x x x

[@sharonjohnson5670]

I'm sure baby is just fine. I think not finding out the gender till baby is born is very exciting,as you say you have two of each and will of kept all your baby clothes. Hope the tiredness wears off soon,it's a long day at work isn't it. Amber I can't imagine you ever being thick 😂😂,made me laugh when you said that. Take care. Xx

[@MeetTheWildes]

Oh Sharon, I'm SO stupid at the moment..! I'm so glad that my colleagues know why, else they'd probably be seriously worried for my cognitive health! How are you doing? I love reading your comments; I feel like I 'know' you a little bit on here and always look out for you. xx
