Any February mummies-to-be here? :D

[SaraPlusOne]

Tell me about it! I've got a bump now and everything! It's pretty scary really because we're so not sorted at all. We're in a rented house, trying to re-start my partner's business and I was intending to get a job but I think it's getting a bit late in the pregnancy now to get away with claiming 'I didn't know' so I may temp at some point if I feel up to it, otherwise I'll focus on our business. Because we've been out of the country for almost 2 years we've been told we won't get a mortgage for at least a year and we're even struggling getting mobile phone contracts would you believe! I'm on PAYG at the moment and it's driving me mad because I keep running out of bloody credit like a 13 year old!!

 

[Mummybexee]

Oh god sounds like a nightmare lol!

phone contracts are a rip off anyway- your better off with PAYG on a good deal - with when you too up say 10er you get 'x' amount of free minutes Etc

[SaraPlusOne]

The midwife called me today. I have an appointment next Tuesday. very exciting!

 

[Toria111]

Woo hoo! Is she booking you a scan too?

 

[Mummybexee]

Yippee!

 

[SaraPlusOne]

She said she'll put in for an urgent scan but the scan dept is in a right mess at the moment so it could take a while! She wants to do it asap to check for downs.

 

[Toria111]

They've got till 14+3 I think it is before they can't see the nuchal fold. Sure they will get you in. Sounds like your midwife is on the ball.

 

[Shell99]

That's good! At least your mw sounds in the ball!

Ladies- I'm signed off this week with morning sickness n since yesterday it seems the anti sickness pills are working!!! Yay! I'm still nauseas but hey ill live with that!

Since yesterday I have been eating like a horse! I know I've not been eating much but jeez! I'm trying to not eat too much but I mean look at this...

Breakfast co co pops (trying to get some milk n cheese etc into my diet)
Snack crisps
Lunch be good to yourself mucrowave noodle meal 319 cals
Dinner big serving if spag Bol
Afters. Cheese cake (naughty)
Evening packet of crisps n 4 squares of chocolate

WTF! That's far too much right?! But I'm physically hungry every cpl hours! N stomach grumbling n headaches as if I've not eaten at all lol! :-/

My OH is always munching junk n is a nice slim size grrrr! My BMI is already 36 I need to watch what I eat

Few weeks back I was craving fruit all the time but now it's just too sweet! Think I need to incorporate more veg then. I've just kinda wrote past cpl days off as its a relief to be able to eat n feel a bit better

Opinions?

 

[Toria111]

Probably your body trying to catch up. Your body craving all the things it's missed.

I got an email earlier "your pregnancy:week 10", and it was saying baby has now completed the most critical part of its development. I feel quite guilty as I've hardly eaten anything over the last 2 weeks other than fruit. I can't wait to get some proper food down.

 

[Shell99]

Just realised, we are only 1 day apart!

I think as of tomorrow I need to make a real effort food wise.

I mean the sickness n nausea is still dominating me n there's not much I fancy but ill just have to try harder.

Don't feel guilty as long as you're drinking n resting baby will get all that it needs from you n it'll be you that suffers so main thing is to look after yourself!

 

[Alwaystrying]

I have had an easy ride so far, however the last few days I am suffering with migranes, hart palpitations and severe tiredness, getting me back for worrying about the lack of symptons I had been having lol

Uh oh! The joys eh?! Hopefully it'll be a brief stint n as you'll be feeling good again soon!

My MS didnt peak until 8 or 9 weeks so I thought I'd escaped that WRONG! Lol but on the up now

Take it easy n rest up whenever you can x

 

[Kaede351]

Just ugh! I feel so SO sick right now I was in bed before 7pm with a pounding headache and nausea, and asleep before my 17 month old son! I yoke up about 45 minutes ago and feel so pukey I thought the sickness was supposed to get better? Why don't seem to be the only one I know that not only actually throws up when pregnant, but who throws up the entire pregnancy >.< I was the same with my son (this time round it's definitely worse though).

Glad you had a safe journey and are settling in Sara! and welcome back to the wonderful NHS haha.

XxX

 

[SaraPlusOne]

I felt awful earlier so went to bed at about 7.30 then woke up a little while ago and am now having some food because I skipped dinner. Oh well, at least we're all feeling hideous together!!

 

[Kaede351]

Haha, yep! We can all suffer together

XxX

 

[Kaede351]

Anybody got any cravings? I've been craving homemade soups lol. It's 11.30pm and I just stood and made onion, mushroom, garlic and hot sauce soup lol. Yummy!!!

XxX

 

[Pumpkin9]

I keep craving hot stuff like jalapeno's and chilli peppers in oil. Also hot peppers and soft cheese (I'm still eating some soft cheese- I can't give it up I love it too much)!! Such a rebel lol
