Due in September

[chattychar1990]

Oh man one of my cousins has just told us all she is expecting her second baby which is amazing but now I really want to tell her I’m pregnant too we were pregnant at the same time with our last two, she gave birth 10 weeks after I did and this time I’ll be due about 7 weeks after her! She lives in England (I’m in Scotland) so we don’t really see each other but still nice to have someone to share the journey with!

Oh wow that is amazing that you have shared every pregnancy together. Things like that really spook me out.
Could you not tell her? you sound like your both close xx

@Rose, Oh that is amazing uz get to share the journey again.
U must be shattered. Usually I'm in bed going to sleep by 11.30 after watching bit off Netflix.

@char I'm not as bad as the wrenching yet but I'm still feeling nauseous this morning couldn't wait get my breakfast just to get that feeling away.

Oh no not every pregnancy I meant two as in her baby and my baby (both in 2017). I was tempted to tell her but I think I’ll wait, I don’t think she would be able to not tell her mum and our mums are right gossips and wouldn’t want my mum finding out through them.

I am feeling so rough today, I’ve been super super nauseous and eaten so much to try to combat it that I feel disgusting

 

[AmyThomas]

That's great news @Rose83 you'll be able to share the journey.

I'm feeling nauseous on and off. Getting a few aches and pains on and off. Had a few painful twinges on my left hand side over the last few hours so have obviously convinced myself that means its ectopic. Frantic googling of symptoms occured.

Was so tired this afternoon, but could have been the post lunch lull. Was stuck in a boring course all day

 

[TTC no2]

Oh rose I feel exactly the same with the eating so much.

All good signs with the nausea Amy but hate the little twinges. Had them too the evening after my scan. Sharp little pains but they went away again I put it down to things stretching in there

 

[Rose83]

Not having a great day
Went to bed at 10.30pm so super early for me, had a headache and felt awful so took paracetamol. But throughout the night it just got worse and worse and was definitely a migraine, felt like I was going to be sick from the pain every time I moved. Didn’t help that all 3 children woke up at different points through the night

managed to get seen by the GP first thing and explained I had migraines in my last pregnancy and that I had already taken the maximum paracetamol I could have today so he gave me codeine. It’s starting to work a little bit I still feel pretty awful.

how is everyone else today?

 

[TTC no2]

Oh Rose that's awful I really feel for u. I had them with my first pregnancy. Never in life have I ever suffered migraines until then. Pain was something I never felt before. It put me to bed till I slept it off.

I'm doing ok today. Just feel very hungry. I'm really going to be a whale this time round lol.
Today 7+1 by my date but 7+4 going by my scan which I did think I'd be few days forward cos early implantation.
I know I wont know until dating scan but I want to go with 7+4 it will get me to the 12 mark quicker lol

 

[Rose83]

Yep I was the same last pregnancy, really needed to just go to bed with painkillers. I’m counting down the minutes until I drop my middle child at nursery at 12.30 then me and the youngest can go for a nap.
I just had a double glazing company out for a quote who was only here 15 minutes but I was having to hold in the vomit the whole time

 

[chattychar1990]

I'm having a good day so far. So i am taking advantage of it. Made myself a hot chocolate at work, whether i will be able to drink it is another thing but i really hope i can because i fancy it. I haven't touched a hot drink since i got my BFP.
Sorry you are feeling so rubbish @Rose83 - i hope the migraine clears up very quickly xx

 

[Rose83]

Thank you Char I had a sleep and some more codeine and it has eased a little but is now more like a really really bad headache so am lying in a dark room while my children watch terrible cartoons in their playroom!

 

[AmyThomas]

Sorry to hear about the bad day Rose. Hopefully you don't get too many this time round. Feeling bad when you have kids to look after is horrible. I'm already thinking back to my last pregnancy with jealousy. Then I could just focus on looking after me.

TTC, I'm with you. I'm soooooo hungry. I want to eat everything. Cant wait for DDs bedtime soon so I can get some dinner and chill.

I'm feeling so tired at the moment. Could easily go to bed now (well, after food)

 

[TTC no2]

It's like I feel so hungry and then when I get a meal I fill up then really quickly and cany finish it - which is annoying.
Bought some ginger biscuits earlier to nibble on when feel abit blahhhh

@TTC no2 i am exactly the same. I dragged the OH to the harvester last night because I fancied their original combo. I was absolutely starving. The meal turned up. I had the tiniest bit of chicken a couple of ribs and chips and I was so full. I then looked about 5 months pregnant. Felt awful all evening after that.
It’s hard work growing a little bubba isn’t it. My jeans aren’t fitting me I’m doing the hair bobble method. Think I should just take the plunge and order some maternity ones, atleast then I have them for when I do end up looking like the size of a house haha x

 

[Rose83]

Hi ladies, my migraine returned in the evening so I ended up going to bed at 9pm after two codeine and two paracetamol. I was then high as a kite and kind of drifted in and out of sleep until about 2 when I slept through til the morning. Woke up and I just feel sick today but no headache or migraine so that’s good!

Glad the migraine has gone hun. Being pregnant isn't very glamorous is it lol. I have been falling asleep on the sofa by 8pm. I feel bad on my OH, we normally love watching tele together and having a chin wag in the evenings but i just don't have the energy. xx

 

[TTC no2]

Glad migraine gone for u rose. Did u suffer with them till end ur pregnancy?

Char I'm same so bloated lastnight. I could def see a small bump when I'm wearing my tshirt. I'm just so so bloated. Crazy hormones.
Found all my maternity clothes whilst clearing old house out. So I'm lucky I have a few bits but I've never been heavily pregnant during summer so when time comes il have to some new bits.

I feel all very normal this morning again. I had some crazy dreams lastnight. Heard people talk about vivid dreams which I never really had before. So that's all new.

As soon as i eat i am bloated. Really concerned that im not eating enough good food though but i just cant stomach vegetables. I eat fruit throughout the day though so hopefully that is ok.
I am going to pop into Newlook on my lunch break today to see if i can get some bits because all my clothes are just so tight now
Its strange how somes days we feel worse than others but i suppose that's just how it is.
Going by my dates i am 8 weeks today but going by my scan i will be 8 weeks on Saturday. If i haven't received my letter for my midwife appointment by Monday i am going to chase them. xx

 

[TTC no2]

Yip same going by scan il be 8 weeks on Saturday too. We could end up having same due date.
I got my letter from hospital when I turned 8 weeks with my mmc so I'm hoping I hear soon. Then il have a date to look forward too. They will go by my lmp too. So I think il end up getting scanned again when I'm actually only 11weeks.

If u find it hard to get a pair f decent maternity jeans I got some nice ones from Asda's. Pretty surprised how comfy they were.
I bought ones asos new look etc and asda were best fitting.

 

[Rose83]

Ah the vivid dreams are the absolute giveaway for me in the TWW. Every pregnancy I have had wild dreams - usually someone dying but has been super realistic and I’ve woken up crying or totally panicked. Thankfully they disappear quickly and haven’t had any more. Did have some in late pregnancy the last time, my husband had to shake me awake because I was sobbing in my sleep and couldn’t stop when he woke me up because I had dreamed I’d had a stillbirth. You mind is not nice to you some of the time!

I just got my 12 week scan date for the 4th of a March which sounds so so far away. I booked a gender scan for when I should be 16 weeks for the 30th March. I don’t think I can convince my husband to put for an early scan (privately they only do from 8 weeks round here). I had some more cramping this week but none today so I’m still in two minds about calling the epu. I feel guilty when I don’t have any other symptoms and I don’t want them to think I’m just trying to get an extra scan.

char I know what you mean, we always watch tv after the kids are in bed and last night I had to just give in and go to bed after having beans on toast for dinner!

Hi ladies
Good to hear the migraine finally went away Rose. I hope you don't suffer with them too much this time round.

I'm the same with the bloat. As soon as I eat something 'boom'. Although it progresses as the day goes on.

I'm fortunately on the maternity clothes front as I've got all the stuff from 3 years ago. And I was pregnant exactly the same time of year so should be ok. I think I'll be in them a lot earlier this time round though!

Off work tomorrow and now I've missed my period I think I'll ring the drs to actually get it logged and made official. Exciting
