April 2021 Mummies!

[Aurora84]

Welcome I've added your name to the first post Aurora. I'm in London too but North

Hope everyone is well. The weather is crazy here! Building work was due to start at our house today but it's been postponed until next week. It'll take 8 weeks to complete, if everything runs smoothly! Getting our loft done which will eventually be my son and this baby's bedroom

Sickness is still here like an absolute b*tch. I still get odd twinges where the baby is nestled. Tonight I've been freaking out about going from 1 child to 2. I've calmed down now and what will be, will be.

I'm 9 weeks today, 3 weeks to go!!! I've also been counting the days for the older kids to go back to school. Bring on next week

I need to buy some new leggings and stretchy trousers. I hate the thought of wearing jeans when I'm pregnant.

I've also lost 10lbs in weight since finding out I'm pregnant due to sickness and not eating much.

Awww thank you!

I’ve had the odd day of feeling queasy but I’ve really struggled with retching when brushing my tongue (as part of cleaning my teeth)! Bizarre.

Also, I’ve had like a pulling/stretching muscle type feel on the right hand side of my abdomen. I’m trying not to worry as it sort of feels where my Fallopian tube is - waiting three months before a scan is brutal! Xxx

Right there with you on the sickness front! I don't remember it being this bad with my first at all?! Also knackered and basically want to go to bed at like 3pm
I've been having a freak out about going from 1 to 2 as well. Hoping it won't be as chaotic as I think it might be. Hopefully we both get good sleepers my first was a bit of a nightmare!

 

[summerdaze]

Oh I have definitely not lost weight! Granted I never lost the last 15 lbs after baby 4 but at 6 weeks tomorrow it’s ridiculous, I need to break out the maternity wear seriously. Here I am sucking it in vs not!

Aww you look great. I definitely feel like I'm showing earlier this time as well. If I wasn't working from home cos of covid my team would probably have all guessed

 

[summerdaze]

extra scans and care from a consultant can only be a good thing right? Means anything untoward can be monitored closely, thank you x

Yeah I think it's a good thing. I reckon I'll be high risk as well this time due to age and I had IUGR with my first.

 

[Zoe_helen25]

Ooo I was sick today first time and diarrhoea was not nice at all xxx I guess my body is changing xx

 

[Olivia118]

Today I've felt soooooo tired. I went back to bed for 2 hours and let my toddler run riot upstairs! I managed to do some cooking today and tidied up kitchen. I wonder when this tiredness will ever leave.....

 

[Kholl]

It's funny, I seem to have true "morning" sickness, must be where the term came from in the first place! I have TERRIBLE smell aversions, gagging, on-and-off nausea (but that's mild), extreme irritability... and then it starts to get better around 1/2pm and by 3 or 4 I'm like 80% normal. Still super irritable (can't wait for that part would ease up!) but much less smell aversion. I'm still picky about what sounds ok to eat but nothing like the first half of the day!

Any one get tight feeling around there belly xxx

Apologies if this is TMI and we have those of a delicate nature but I had to share....


I’m not a gassy person but for the last few weeks I’ve been burping every now and again and I never really burp. This morning I did the biggest loudest fart I’ve ever heard in my life! Thankfully the husband was out getting breakfast. But honestly I was so shocked that I just started laughing my head off. Don’t feel bloated anymore!

I'm 9+3 and still am like this every morning and evening haha! It's part of the pregnancy package.


So in March I had a MC and i made it to 9+2. Today i am 9+3 so i feel like that's a milestone.

Been working all day today, my body is aching now so I'm having a quick bath to unwind then dinner and film with my partner.

I havent taken my anti sickness tablet since Saturday and I've had 2 ok days....I dont want to speak to soon but I think I've past the worst.....


How are we all?

Aww yeah it must feel good to reach that milestone

Hopefully the worst of the sickness is past for you. I can't really remember but I'm sure the sickness part only lasted a few weeks for me last time so I'm really hoping it's the same this time. Seen to recall the tiredness stuck around for the whole of T1 though!

Doing alright thanks. I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow. We're up in Scotland on holiday visiting family so it's been really nice to see everyone (and get some help looking after my son haha)

A wonderful milestone.

you’ve probably already tried it - but have you got ginger sweets? I get horrible sea sickness and got some for that on my honeymoon which have come in handy a couple of times now.

I feel like I’m on a boat at min got the ginger biscuits on my side xxx hopefully it all clears in 4/5 weeks

how’s everyone feeling xxx

Today was my roughest day, aversions and nausea that would not quit. 6+2 so may just be starting for real.

Aww must feel like a relief getting past that point .

I am only 5 + 3 so not feeling too bad atm apart from I get tired quite quickly, and then being awake for the rest of the day is hard. My boobs have started to feel a bit sore since yesterday. I also had cramps last night for about 10 minutes which felt like period pains, but I think it might have been trapped wind .

A bit of a personal question, but how do people feel about having sex? I haven’t had sex since I found out I was pregnant and I know they say sex throughout pregnancy is totally fine.
but I just feel like it’s all abit too fragile at the moment, and don’t wanna risk it. That probably sounds really silly .

I feel exactly the same way!

 

[Pemsy]

I feel exactly the same way!

I was huge by 14 weeks with my first and I remember buying maternity jeans at about 9 weeks just for a comfier waist band.

I’m not showing but all my trousers are getting uncomfortable so I’ve ordered lots of joggers and leggings to help out.

 

[Zoe_helen25]

I’m not really any different at mom no bump yet just symptoms and bloating xxx

 

[Kholl]

@JoJo19 pregnancy sex is THE best... I cannot wait until I feel a little less nervous. I am 6+3 and I know there’s no risk but I’m so scared to see blood! And I often bleed after sex when pregnant. I know it’s fine but I think I need to wait another week or so maybe? I don’t know! I wish I weren’t so nervous cause I sure miss it a lot and I know dh does too.
