Ouch!! What do you do to relieve the pain? Xx

Ouch!! What do you do to relieve the pain? Xx

Can only take paracetamol. Normally find a nice warm bath eases the pain but nothing completely gets rid of it. Try not to be on your feet too long if you can help it. And avoid sitting in one position for a long period too. X

 

[JomoMama]

Yeah I took paracetamol and had a bath yesterday when it was really bad - it did ease it up a bit. Unfortunately I work in a busy cafe kictchen so I’m on my feet for about 8 or 9 hours a day! I do sneak a little sit down when I can though. xx

Aw that must be really tough jomo I feel for you, make sure you take breaks when you need them!

Last 3 days for me have been terrible I’m vomiting and retching non stop, I was nearly in tears yesterday, I’m such a wimp! I’m 8+4 today, when does the sickness truely start to get better? Funnily enough though my sore boobs are easing off a lot, that had me worried a little bit, you can’t win can you eh the symptoms are horrible but when they go for a bit you worry

 

[JomoMama]

Aw bless you, feel better soon! To be honest I haven’t had much sickness so I can’t really offer any advice, but I think ginger is meant to help
Everything is such a worry isn’t it! Looking forward to the second trimester - I think we’ll all relax a bit!
When does everyone consider themselves in the second trimester? Is it at the beginnng of the 12th week or the begging of the 13th week? Or even 14th? I’m a little unsure! Xx

 

[Laura butchers]

I think its 13 weeks. But some apps and websites say different. Im 10+5 today. Feeling exhausted, emotional and nauseous now and again. Starting to worry as symptoms seem to be dying down a bit. Although it could be normal i cant help but worry especially as i havent had a scan yet. 11 days until my 12 week scan and it cant come any sooner!

 

[Ash_b]

I have my early scan tomorrow. I am equal parts super excited and anxious. That's normal right?!

I think it’s totally normal for symptoms to start easing off now Laura, the placenta now starts to take over some of the work, everything I’ve read says symptoms start to ease between 9-13 weeks, I’ve still got three weeks until my scan 😩 this has been the longest wait of my life for anything! Even though I’m so grateful to be pregnant the first trimester really is not enjoyable at all x

Oh totally normal ash! Good luck for it,how many weeks will you be? X

8 weeks night owl. I just decided to pay to get one because I'm so impatient! I don't even have my booking appointment until the 11th week so God only knows when my nhs scan will be!

 

[IVW]

Time is definitely going very slow this month

Managed to get in to the gym yesterday and it felt really good to get back into my old routine, although today I just cba which is also quite normal.

ahhh nightowl you are definitely feeling the sickness more than most of us have you tried eating some ginger biscuits? I bought some but have barely touched them as I don't particularly like them anyway, so crackers are seeing off my sickness temporarily.

Also I have no appetite at all? As in, I could literally not eat and be fine with it, which is unlike me as I love my food - is anyone else like that?x

Wow thats really late

Is this your first pregnancy? If I were you I would maybe question the timings of your appointments.

A fair few of us in here have had a early scan and its sooooooo worth it

I done the same and got a private scan at 7+5, it was well worth it for the reassurance that everything was going well, it’s such a long time from finding out to the first scan, it’s crap the way we all seem to be having different experiences of the booking appointment and scan and stuff depending on where we live, I had my booking appointment and scan date through at 6 weeks! Good luck for tomorrow I bet you come out of there on cloud 9 x

I’ve had 2 episodes of vomiting already today

I have to be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to drive from Liverpool to Manchester for a meeting which is going to last all day I’ve a feeling I’m going to turn up looking like the walking dead then run off to be sick at some crucial moment, dreading it, will need to take a plastic bag with me in the car

I am actually starting to consider just eating a knob of ginger IVW just out of desperation

I’ve completely lost my appetite, the idea of most foods makes me heave, I’m hoping I’m
at the peak of it now or baby is just having a big growth spurt as I’ve been getting lots of cramps and niggles last few days too

You’re doing so well to be getting to the gym IVW I’m definitely hoping to do something active in second tri x

Oh god its must be awful

All day meetings are THE worst at the best of times never mind when you are feeling as rough as you do. Just make sure you get the chair nearest the door for that quick escape hopefully you will be fine though and the meeting will be sooo interesting that it takes your mind off of how bad you are actually feeling, heres hoping

It sounds like you are in the same boat as my sister with regards to the way you are feeling, she said it was awful and the whole normality of life just went out the window

My sister did say the second trimester does get better x

 

[Ash_b]

Oh I hope you feel better soon night owl.
I know my booking appointment is very late but its just the way it worked out. They only do it on a Monday and the week before is the September weekend, so they are closed! I've had a ten minute appointment with the midwife this week, and she was happy with how things were going, and she knows about the scan tomorrow. So maybe she's taking a more relaxed approach because of that.

Sorry if tmi.. but is anyone else experiencing small pimples around their nipples? Is it normal?

Yes! Me too!
I read in my app that it’s completely normal and just your breasts getting ready for producing milk.
