****December 2014 mums to be! Christmas babies!!*****

Congrats on all the new tri 2 ladies!! All updated! Let me know if I've missed anyone or anything.

Hope you're all feeling ok? I've felt headachey today but we've just had a new front door installed which has taken all day and the whole house has been freezing and weve just been watching tv all day to keep my daughter entertained! Hate days like this!xxx

I've been really headachy the last few days too and been drinking tonnes of water.
 
How did you guys book your 20 week scan? I've not had a letter or anything to tell me or do I phone the hospital myself?
 
Yay! Congrats Baker_Baby!! And i hate these pregnancy headaches, there's so little you can take to get rid of them.

Cazzie, I was asked to book my 20 week scan at reception directly after my 12 week scan. Could you check with your midwife to see if she is meant to book it? I know my midwife is the one who booked my consultant appointment at 16 weeks and my GTT when Im 27 weeks.

And thanks ladies regarding the front page! This is what happens when you're in bed most of the day and have nothing better to do. I much prefer doing this than anything related to work though!!
 
They didn't say that to me, I'll give them a ring tomorrow. Have my 16 wk one sorted though! X
 
I was told to book mine at the reception as I was leaving.
 
Why are toddlers up so early?!

I'm 15 weeks today! Eeek
 
I've been wide awake since 5am Goat must be excitement from my scan yesterday! Today's going to be a long day at work :-(
 
I must remember to check this when I'm up early, see who else is awake. Headaches and lack of sleep is the norm for me at the mo - but I'm 14 weeks today - I thought I'd be feeling great and 'blossoming' at this stage! Hurry up placenta!
 
Hey ladies how we all doing today?

I'm feeling a bit meh, we had a lovely family day yesterday where to took little man swimming & done some shopping for his 1st birthday. We really needed it, but today I feel a bit lonesome! It's difficult when all you have to talk to is an 11 month all day everyday & I'm often finding myself just counting down til when OH gets home. We try & get out & do things as much as we can buy money (and my energy levels!) mean we often end up just staying in. Anyway not really a point to this, just have a moan lol! I know I'm soo soo lucky to be able to be a stay at home mum, but I didn't realise how isolating it could be!

Anyway, on a very very bright note, I woke up this morning feeling fine! As in, no horrible trapped wind, no nausea, no cramps or pain. Just 'fine'. And of course, my first thought is to worry haha! But I know placenta is taking over now so that's good :) x
 
I'm about to have a rant now too. Been in work all day with a bad headache and then was getting out early for my sons nursery visit. He starts in September!! It was brilliant. And my din was fabulous! He has been so shy since his broken leg but he just entered into it! It was brilliant!!!! Then had arranged for a hair appointment for him as its been really hard to wash his hair with the cast and me being pregnant. I was five mins late and the receptiinist refused to take him. They were like would u like to rearrange!!! I turned and said NO you are totally awful at customer service I've already waited over a week and everytime I phone for an appt it's as if its a hassle for you so I won't be back! Not like me. The only reason why I have stayed is cos the girl who does kids hair is sooo good with him!

Then i went to the car and couldnt stop crying lol. I'm just exhausted and could do with someone having a little understanding. In the end I have phoned my own hairdressers to get it done tomorrow!

Sorry just ranting!
 
Hey girls! Still feeling a bit sick, I've developed a phobia of raw chicken, I had to tell hubby to hide it as I ran to the bathroom! How weird?! A few cramps, still tired but ok I think! Agree with you SaraLouise, come on placenta!

So happy that everyone knows now, not putting it on fb as we're just telling everyone we want to know. Also booked my 20wk scan, it's on the 17th July! Xx
 
Hi ladies! Saralouise I totally get what you mean about feeling lonesome, I used to feel that sometimes when I was on mat leave. Don't feel bad though, there are ups and downs in all situations even if we really want to be in those situations!! After I've had this one I'm going to be a stay at home mum too, I can't wait but I know there will be days where I feel like you do, days where I want to be doing something different but overall I know I'm going to enjoy it the most!
As for nausea etc mines pretty much all gone too, just have a few headaches!

Littlebean, the hairdressers were so rude, you had the perfect reaction! How can they say that when they know you're pregnant and have a little son with a cast on his leg? And 5 mins!?? Even the doctors surgery gives you more leeway than that!!

Cazzie, awesome news about your scan, I'll update that a bit later on. And so funny about your aversion to are chicken!!

I've been at my mums house all day and randomly craved pickled pears, low and behold she had some!! For Christmas were all going to my mums for lunch and in the evening we always serve honey roast ham and pickles. This year my husbands making the ham and I'm making the pickles, so today I've been making a list of all the pickles I'm planning to make and will do it in August when I go on mat leave! It got me so excited about Christmas! It's only June!!!

Hi Ladies,

I am 14 weeks today, so am being brave and moving over to trimester 2!

I have had my 12 week scan here, but am booked in for one in the UK on the 18th of June, after that I will be more in line with everyone in the UK!

I seem to have a bad cold that I cant seem to shift just now, but for me it has been good. I suffer badly from nosebleeds and usually as soon as my nose becomes a little sniffy, it will start to bleed. So far, no nose bleeds!

I hope everyone else is keeping well.

Lozza
 
Morning ladies - sorry to hear some of you had a crappy day yesterday. It's extra difficult when our emotions are all over the place too - I keep crying at random things! My oh is away at the moment which makes me more emotional (even if I do get more sleep when he's away because of his snoring!).

It's Friday today - yeah! Weekend soon and mid day naps to look forward to. Hope everyone has a lovely symptom free day X
 
Is it bad that I'm starting to lurk in this thread? Soon. Soon...
 
Going to treat myself today by buying something for baby! Have stayed well clear up until now (didn't want to jinx anything!) but now I've had my scan, I'm going for it! What do you think would be a sensible but meaningful purchase? What have you guys bought? This is my first so I don't have anything!!! X
 
Morning ladies!

Lozza, let me know your due date and I'll add it!

Cazzie, definitely go for it!! We haven't made any purchases as we have everything we need from our daughter. Actually that's a lie, I've bought the attachment that makes the buggy a double and a buggy board as my brother was working for John Lewis and we got a good discount.
Last time I think our first purchase was a neutral little Winnie the Pooh baby grow my hubby found in Tesco and loved! It was her going home outfit from the hospital! After that we didn't buy anything until 29 weeks and after that we went way too ott!!

Tri hopping...I've had a phobia of raw chicken since week 5! It totally freaks me out and makes me feel sick the moment I see it! Must be some weird 'safety feature' our bodies have built in to us to avoid poisoning! X
 
That makes sense rose, was so strange! Even telling people at work the story made me feel sick!

Congrats everyone on tri 2! Seems so real now! Xx
 
Hello ladies ;)

I am making the big move & coming to join you in tri 2

*****due date December 12th*****

*****20 week scan on 24th July*****

I hadn't even peaked at this thread until today so i have been enjoying reading all your posts and seeing how you are getting on. Sounds like already there's been highs & lows... Emotions seem like they are running high but I'm pleased to hear on the first few pages a few of you mentioned feeling better & less sickness etc... Really hoping my sickness starts to ease off (I know I seem to say this every few weeks lol) but the last 24 hours have been horrific again & can't hold anything down. I've just got a feeling I am going to be one of those people that has it throughout the whole of the pregnancy :s

Looking forward to seeing more & more of us make it over to this thread :) xx
