**** April 2019 mummies ****

Wow april is going to be full of babies! Have updated due date list. If ive missed someone out or havent updated yours then let me know.
10 weeks today! Its going so slow! 2 weeks and 2 days until 12 week scan. Gutted hubby is going to miss the scan as he works away. Nausea has come back to pay a visit again. Feel myself reaching but nothing comes up.. i feel drained. Roll on second trimester when hopefully we can start enjoying being pregnant!
 
Back to work today and dry crackers are seeing me through the day :wall2:

I said to the oh i dont fancy or want fruit but i know me and my little bean need it, so hes going to make me some shakes up in the evenings. The beige diet is not for me :roll:

Other than a bit sicky, i dont feel too bad - the gym is a no go atm, more so after work as i just cant face it with this sick feeling, so i am hoping this weekend i can get a good work out in on saturday and sunday. The oh and me will start doing yoga as well soon. We stretch before bed when we can be bothered, so will properly get into the habit of this alongside my pelvic floor exercises.

Are you ladies all doing your pelvic floor now? or will you do it later on in the pregnancy?

I’m really struggling with fruit at the moment, vegetables are a complete no-no even the thought of them has me retching, ate some fruit yesterday which made me vomit! I do worry about my lack of nutrition at the moment,

I’m going to start pregnancy yoga at 12 weeks I think, i haven’t been going running or doing any other exercise since bfp so it would be nice to get out there and do something, ooh I’ve never exercised my pelvic floor before I wonder if they go through that with you in pregnancy yoga?

Does anyone know if there’s still things like birthing classes and stuff? X
 
Hi girls I am so fed up today :(
I went to the doctors last night over the spotting starting again. Just had little bits of light pink discharge when I wipe.a few times since Saturday. I have had some pain though. She had sent urine off to check for infections and she is waiting on result of that so she can do an internal and have a look at my cervix. She won't do it until incase there is infection and it's pushed higher up. Which I completely understand. However I am just left in discomfort with spotting in the mean while and she said it could take up to 2 weeks to get the results back.
I wasn't happy this morning as pain was worse so phoned EPU but they can't see me until I am referred back to them by a doctor. She was lovely so the nurse there told me to rest for the next couple of days and phone them back for advice if needed.
I feel up the wall :(
I feel stressed, tired, only slightly nauseous, pelvic pain, anxious.
I feel like I am in a glass case of emotion Haha!!! I could just cry for nothing!!!
I just want things to settle, sorry for moaning bit it has helped to have a little whine...feeling fed up!!! Xxx

Aww MM sorry you are having this stress, I can only imagine how worrying it is, i honestly don’t know how anyone copes with this awful wait to the 12 week scan, it’s such a nerve racking time especially when you’ve had previous losses, the only thing I can say is to focus on how great your scans have gone, the baby is in their growing exactly as it should with a heartbeat, and that’s without having had much nausea so far so it just goes to show you don’t need nausea for things to be going perfectly fine, do you have another private scan booked or did I imagine that? And don’t apologise for coming on here to vent that’s what we are all here for sometimes it’s what you need to do! Xx
 
Thank you night owl!!
I know and I keep reminding myself that my scans have been great! I am hating these early weeks I still haven't been back to work yet. And I don't think I will be back this week now (I am a nurse and stand all day on my feet) so feel like I have lived in this little early pregnancy bubble that hardly anyone knows about.
Yes I do have another scan its a week today was originally tomorrow but they let me shift it because I had one on Saturday. Part of me wishes I had kept it but really there's no reason to they told me baby was fine. It's such an anxious time. Just fed up of spotting and discomfort! I know lack of nausea isn't too bad but I am putting on weight with increased appetite!!!
Just having a good old moan aren't I xxx

Im ok with veg, its just the real sweetness of fruit, which is annoying as i love fruit - typical :roll:

Are you taking any extra vitamins? Im taking fold acid, calcium and i think its vitamin d, but i might get some more as well. Its more worrying when, like yourself you arent keeping food down.

I was chatting to my sister in law and her sister and they both suffered really bad with sickness and lost alot of weight because of it, they just couldnt keep anything down, it must be awful :(

I think since i got my bfp i have been maybe 3 times to the gym, i usually go that many times a week :wall2: spinning is a no go. Hopefully we get our energy back soon enough.

When you had your first midwife appointment, did she not mention pelvic floor exercises? Mine fed the seed early, so i thought i will start straight away to avoid any kind of tear!
The oh and me you tubed loads of videos as i just wasnt getting it at first, then found a movement that worked for me, in that i can actually feel something happening, as it isnt very obvious. I can imagine yoga does help, in maybe an indirect way.

We all love a good old moan and its better out than in :oooo:

My sister is a neonatal nurse and also had to take time off work, the heat and constant running around is bound to make you feel extra awful.

Hopefully it all gets better for you <3

I completely understand I’ve moaned non-stop about how horrible this wait to the 12 week scan is!! You are having a crappy day Hun I don’t blame you for having a good rant, I hope this next week goes fast for you it will be lovely seeing how much the baby has grown at the next scan :)

No she didn’t mention anything about pelvic floor! They didn’t at my booking appointment for my last pregnancy either, guess I’ll just have to do my own research on this one xx
 
Someone recommended taking pregnacare vitamins as they help reduce symptoms... And I've had no sickness at all!! Might just be a coincidence but worth a try?!
I've been dying to start exercising again but I'm too scared until I'm 12 weeks, just incase. I was on week 4 of 6 of a bootcamp when I got my BFP. So I've gone from doing a lot quite intense to nothing!! I've contacted someone about yoga too, I'm joining a 8 week class in November which I'm looking forward to!
 
Sorry you’re having a troublesome time MM, wishing you all the best xx

I’ve done a little bit of pregnancy yoga, there’s this YouTube channel I use called Yoga With Adrienne, and she has a video all about yoga that’s safe for all trimesters, and she demonstrates with her pregnant friend. It’s very relaxing and it’s all about connecting with your baby and bonding with it! It’s great! Would highly recommend :) xx

Had a craving for carbonara today, so the oh said he would make it tomorrow, but when i was checking the recipe it soon dawned on me, this might be a pregnancy no no :-(

I think if its with cream its ok, but the typical recipe is with eggs, but i have also read that because you heat the eggs up into a sauce its 'ok'.

Whats your thoughts ladies? would you eat it....?

I am sure it will be fine! But your talking to an already mum of 4 so I eat anything to be honest :) I would eat a bit of pate or a medium steak so I am probably not the best to answer haha xxx

The nhs has changed its guidance now on pregnant women eating undercooked eggs to say there is virtually no risk if the eggs are in date, from a British farm with the lion stamp x
