Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone is doing ok?

Aww Mexico, I’m sorry. I’m exactly the same and throwing up 2 or 3 times every day at the moment. I’m back to work tomorrow and I literally have no idea how I’m going to manage. Roll on 2nd trimester! Xx

 

[Mexico2014]

Yeah I’m back tomorrow too! Dreading it! Some plonker has booked me client appointments too!! First day back! Morons!!
I feel better now than I did either!! I’m 10 weeks tomorrow and hoping I haven’t got much longer of this! Sorry to hear your unwell too! Sounds like your worse than I am! I have been sick about 3 times tonight but in close succession! I’m generally not sick in the morning or daytime! I was evening sick last time but not this bad!! How many weeks are you Niv? Xx

 

[Nivetha28]

Aw that sucks that you have appointments too! I’m 9 weeks this week. I seem to read different things about when the sickness should ease off, some say 12 weeks others say 16 weeks! The thought of 8 more weeks of this seems pretty impossible right now! Fingers crossed we’ll be one of the luckier ones and it eases up sooner rather than later xx

I spent new years eve at the hospital with bronchitis feel like death atm. My partner had been sleeping on the sofa for the last few nights because my coughing keeps him awake.
Hope everyone one had a better new year than me.
Will be calling the midwife today if i can get through to my surgery.

 

[Juice]

Aww sorry you're feeling rough ladies
With my other pregnancies, the sickness has usually started to ease at around 12/13 weeks, so i hope it doesn't last much longer for you.

I'm feeling sick but not as bad as it usually is at this point. The food aversions are really bad though. I literally cannot eat anything! :/

Hi LuckyLaura, nice to have you join us! I’ve seen some of your other threads and it seems like you’re really having a tough time with sickness. Really sorry that you’ve been so poorly, I really hope you start to feel better soon xx

 

[Rowe4]

How's everyone feeling today? I hope those of you returning to work had a good day!

This nausea is driving me mad! My usual aversion, during pregnancy of tea and coffee has kicked in, so that'll help with avoiding caffeine!

Happy new year everyone, so I’m at the 7 week stage now and not been feeling as sick anymore just really struggling with sleep. One day I’ll be taking naps when I can and the next I can’t sleep at all. Booking appointment in 2 weeks and hopefully my scan date will come through soon. So excited for it all now. So sorry to hear some of you have morning sickness really bad I only had it for about a week and it was hell so feel your pain, stay strong

Hi ladies , happy new year to you all. Hope your all doing ok ! 8 weeks 4!days today and had my first physical morning sickness experience to go with it

On top of the sickness I have a rotten cold and sore throat. Had to leave work as it’s just really taking its toll on me. OH at work, all my family have gone on holiday so feeling pretty miserable and sorry for my self at the minute ! Roll on 12 weeks when this hopefully dies down ! X

Hi Ladies,
I work out from my own calculations that I'm due 8th August, which is our wedding anniversary!
Feeling absolutely horrendous, sick morning, day and night, literally threw up in the shower the last two mornings, and I'm struggling with tiredness - just hoping it's not twins again - 14 years later!
Good to see you all, and pleased I'm not alone in the sickness - desperately trying to remind myself how lucky I am after over a year of trying for this much wanted pregnancy!
As many of you have said - roll on 2nd trimester!

Congratulations Shinymac! Such great news, I wonder if you have been bitten by the twin gene again??

I know its pretty selfish, but i'm glad I am not the only one struggling. Feeling really useless and down at the moment... roll on second trimester

I had a private scan the other day and it really helped pick me up, watching the peanut move around really did make all the sickness feel worthwhile, I couldn't recommend it more!

 

[Mexico2014]

Well I am now over 10 weeks and I don’t want to jinx us but I am feeling a lot less sick! I wasn’t sick last night although I wasn’t sick this morning but only because I just my LG nappy and it’s was horrendous. Don’t feel sick tonight!! Fingers crossed I am coming out the other side! Xx

 

[Aurora_J]

Didn't phone midwife in the end because on top of my chest infection i also have laryngitis.

My morning sickness started at exactly 6 weeks with Ds2 so im starting to feel more positive about this pregnancy since im almost 8 weeks and haven't been sick yet.

 

[SarahTWD]

Hey everyone, I've been so I'll over the last few days.
Had my booking appointment with MW yesterday, it's finally starting to sink in now
I'm under consultant led care which is new for me. I should get my scan date through any day now

The sickness has got so bad though and already having a weak bladder is leading to some pretty embarrassing days at the moment - time to bulk buy leggings I think

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New year xx

 

[Wintergirl]

Hello Mammies!! Happy New year . I hope you all had a lovely Xmas

Hi Wintergirl, I had some pink discharge on New Year's Day and my OH panicked so I called the EPU, they told me that pink or brown discharge is perfectly normal. They advised me to wear a pad and monitor it over the next 24 hours but to call back if it got heavy. The following day it had gone. She did ask if I had DTD in the past 48hours, which I had done

 

[Wintergirl]

Thank Sarahtwd

I think it has gone now! FX it doesn't come back again! The first trimester is so hard! All the panicking over twinges and discharge! Bring on tri 2! hopefully the sickness and tiredness is gone by then!! xx

 

[Wintergirl]

Yeah I’m back tomorrow too! Dreading it! Some plonker has booked me client appointments too!! First day back! Morons!!

Hey Niv and Mexico

I was just wondering when you are going to tell your work? I`m sick too , just bad nausea and gagging but wondering how long I can actually hide it for .... we have a few work function's coming up so I have to pretend I'm drinking at those!!

Hey Wintergirl. First I’m glad that your discharge seems to have stopped, it is all so nerve wracking at this stage isn’t it.

Funnily enough I was literally just talking to my husband about the work situation. I was completing a risk assessment for a lady I supervise who is 20 weeks pregnant today. It seemed like a pretty standard form and it mentioned morning sickness on it and that adjustments to work might be needed to support this. I’ve been sick 2/3 times while at work this week and it’s getting really hard so I’ve decided I’m going to tell my manager next week. I’ll be 10 weeks but how far you are doesn’t matter, as soon as you reveal your pregnancy you’ll be protected and have rights with regards to any pregnancy related matters.

I get why people don’t want to tell too many people before the 12 weeks but I think work is a bit different. If something was wrong at my 12 week scan I might need time off so would have to tell work anyway. For me personally it just seems better to tell work earlier, although I’m scared to death at the thought of actually having to do it! Perhaps you’d be better telling earlier too if you’re struggling? Definitely go with what you think feels right xx
