Feel better for sleep, hope I have an easier weekend, I'm missing out on so much sun

Good morning all,

Sorry i went off the radar again for a little bit, I found myself really worried and out of sorts with all that spotting I was having, but luckily it never developed into anything bigger or more intense and now has completely disappeared.I have not had any spotting at all for the last 2 days, so am starting to feel excited again bit by bit, especially since I got the letter from the hospital this morning with my first midwife appointment and nuchal scan appointment in it, whoo hoo Makes it all feel just that bit more real

.Massive congratulations on all the new bfs's girls !!! Happy and healthy 9 months to you all, its all getting really exciting here in our December thread

As for conversation about worrying in 1st trimester. It is absolutely true girls, that it is impossible not to feel this way. Very fragile time and also such a precious thing. And I have to agree, this worrying does not end when the 1st trimester finishes. I have 2 children already and if I were honest, the worrying only get worse and worse. As they grow you constantly worry about their health , and later the worry about the way they are treated by other children/teachers, fears about their future and happiness take over your life. With parenthood comes permanent anxiety and when I say permanent , I really do mean it. You become obsessed with SIDS, possibilities of accidents, child cancer and many many other scary things you have never thought about, you literally become obsessed. It sounds horrible but thus is how we are programmed as mums, we just love those little beautiful creatures so much. Just as long as you realise you are not alone and all mums are the same , it makes it a little easier perhaps. The explanation is simple. These little monkeys are so ridiculously precious and amazing, that of course you spend the rest of your life worrying out of your mind, so prepare yourselves girls, its only gonna get worse In a meantime, for the moment, lets just stay put and stay positive as much as we can. The days are ticking by ( even though so bloody slowly ), and soon we will all be able to see our little ones on the scan. Who else has got their scan appointments already? I am in Kingston and our maternity unit is amazing here, love them so much...

Hey honey, bloody men... they really do not have a clue how all this feels. It is hard for them to imagine, and its not rare that they can be insensitive and even irritated during their wife's pregnancy.. Yeah I know its weird and ridiculous, and very ironic considering that when they have a bloody cold, they act as if they are on the death bed. Don't have any words of wisdom, but just wanted to cheer you up and repost what someone has posted on Facebook the other day..

DURING LABOUR THE PAIN IS SO GREAT, THAT A WOMAN CAN ALMOST IMAGINE WHAT A MAN FEELS WHEN HE HAS A FEVER.

Ha ha ha ..Hope you guys make up and have a nice weekend WolfMamma xx

So far so good thanks. Nausea is starting to kick in. For some reason I am not that nervous this time I just feel like worrying won't change anything so what will be will be and I'm just enjoying being pregnant for now. How r u

Hi girls had my scan this morning. Went well and we saw a clear, strong heartbeat which was our main reason for wanting a scan. The sonographer said I was measuring a week behind so am 6+6 instead of 7+6.. bit frustrating as I'm now behind but was so happy to see heartbeat. Literally couldn't see anything exciting on the picture so not putting one on.

Been throwing up quite a bit today.. feel awful have just purchased some bands to reduce sickness so hoping they work.

I'm also not nearly as anxious as I thought I'd be. I'm not really an anxious sort but after all we went through, I really thought I was going to be a nightmare. I'm obviously just not wired that way. Taking each day as it comes and happy to have my usual positive self back. TTC was a real drag as we both know.

I found eating basically anything helped stop the nausea for me and it never became any more than that. Even though I've not managed as much as I normally do, I'm glad I've been able to keep up regular meals and been able to eat most things I normally do. The exhaustion has been terrible and my sleep has been awful. Actually slept through the night last night and felt like a new woman this morning. I really hope I'm starting to come out the other side now. Hope the nausea doesn't get any worse for you. Are you having an early scan?

Aww moomin I hope the tiredness passes soon for u it is so hard especially with a full time job. It should settle soon for u as it mustnt be long until tri 2 now?

I was a nervous wreck last time, Googling chances of miscarriage and everything but this time I just feel different. Nothing I do will change the outcome so there is no point in worrying too much about something that may or may not happen. I may feel different and more anxious just before my scan but I will cross that bridge when I come to it. Yes I will have an early scan at 8 weeks and hopefully see a lovely wee heartbeat.

When is ur 12 week scan

When is ur 12 week scan

It has been tough. Literally work, eat, shower, sleep. My OH has been so good and I've felt totally looked after so I'm very lucky. I thought I'd be really anxious before the scan but I really felt ok about it. My 12 week one is 10th May. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you that your scan goes well. It will be like a weight lifted for you.

I am the opposite of most women, I’m only nauseated after I eat, and it lasts 20-60 minutes at a time. So not bad, but it’s hit me early this time. I have also been weepy. I cried just now cause the air blowing on me in the car smells bad. Actually everything smells bad.

 

[AllyBally]

5+1 today! Feeling overwhelmed with exhaustion, barely have any energy to do anything. Also been pretty constipated and hyper-sensitive to smells! Just waiting on the nausea now...

 

[BB_26]

Hi ladies, I got my BFP a few days ago but today I'm 5 weeks today so thought I'd join you all. My due date should be 22nd December. Congrats to everyone here

BB xx
