Due in September

[chattychar1990]

I’m with everyone who has to eat constantly to keep the nausea at bay. I’m already huge from eating so much. It’s just a constant need to try and keep the nausea at bay and nothing seems to be quite what I want. This week I’m quite into fruit smoothie juice but it still doesn’t seem to be quite the thing. In all my previous pregnancies bacon sandwiches was my thing at this point and now I’ve started thinking about them I want one. Except now I don’t eat a lot of meat at all and don’t really want to start an obsession with bacon sandwiches again

Rose its so weird you have said that, i have started drinking a glass of fruit smoothies in the mornings and my new obsession is also bacon crusty rolls. That's crazy!! x

Hahaha it must be some sort of weird hormone thing. With my daughter (first pregnancy) after the bacon roll obsession passed all I wanted was pineapple juice and poppy seed bagels with cream cheese and cucumber in them. Every single day for weeks and weeks!
I think I’ve just accidentally convinced myself I need to go to the supermarket when I drop middle child at nursery. I now need to try all these things and see if they work

 

[Rose83]

So I went and bought half of Tesco and am pleased to report the cream cheese and cucumber bagel was the best thing I have ever tasted so I guess that’s going to be a thing again!

Mmmm I love bacon sandwiches. I had to have one last weekend. But then it repeated on me lol
I still cant find what I'm craving...

How are u feeling now char after this morning?

I'm feeling the same still. Just feel

 

[AmyThomas]

I'm the same TTC, I know I want something but I don't know what. Although I am now thinking about bacon....

So tired already and tonight is a busy night of housework stuff. Urgh. Waiting for hubby to get home and hoping I can convince him to do it all

 

[Rose83]

I feel like the craving something feeling changes each week but for me this week it’s definitely ‘fresh’ feeling things like juice and fruit and cucumber. I’m finding I’m not wanting cans of Pepsi etc which I would normally really want. Which I guess is a good thing or would be if I wasn’t eating ten ton of food!

 

[TTC no2]

I had watermelon not long ago and it was so good. If I could take a craving for fruit it wouldn't be a bad thing at al lol

Feeling much better today thank you I made sure I had breakfast and a smoothie before I left for work.
Had my midwife appointment and my 12 week scan through the post yesterday.
Midwife is the 4th feb and my scan is 25th Feb.
Going by my dates I will be 12+5 for my scan or 12+3 by the early scan dates. Is that okay? Is is normal for a scan to be over the 12 weeks does anyone know? Xx

hi char don’t worry the 12 week scan can be done anytime between 11-14 weeks xx

 

[TTC no2]

Yea nightowl is right 11-14 weeks is fine for scan..
I feel time is going wee bit quicker for me lately. Well soon be in double digit weeks. Still no letter for me. Fingers crossed not will be this week

 

[chattychar1990]

Thank you ladies x

 

[Rose83]

TTC glad time is going faster for you! I feel like this has been the longest month ever, can’t wait for it to be February which I always feels goes by really quickly.

I’m feeling rough today, the nausea seems to have really upped its game the last two days. I had it all through the night too. Very much looking forward to the first 12 weeks being finished!

 

[chattychar1990]

It actually feels like January 89th today!!
I can't believe how long this month is dragging on for.
Roll on February!! x

 

[JennyS85]

A bit early for cravings for me but in my two pregnancies to date it’s been all about the beige carbs...hoping for something healthier this time!

Time in Tri 1 is like something else...only been a week since I found out I was pregnant...feels like a year!! Glad you are all getting booking in/scans appts through- definitely makes it go quicker to have those mini milestones x

 

[AmyThomas]

Yep. January is soooooo long. I am bored of this month. Just had my nurses appt to register my pregnancy. Seemed like a massive waste of time. Now got to wait for the booking in appt, but I'm only 5w 1d at the mo.

My first pregnancy I turned out to only be 11w 2d when they scanned me, so they booked me back in for the week later. Was nice as I got a sneaky extra scan. But made week 11 feel like groundhog day

 

[TTC no2]

Hey ladies how are u all today? Still no letter for me about booking in. Really thought be this week!
Caught a glimpse of myself in work mirror wearing my fleece. I swear I can notice my belly sticking out. Hope no one else notices yet lol

 

[AmyThomas]

Hey TTC. I had a quick appt with the nurse last night where they just took my details and told me the basic dos and donts. I had a message from the mw to arrange my booking in appt today. I have to wait till the 3rd March for it. Seems a bit late as I'll be 10w then. I suppose the good thing is that I then should haven't to wait too long for the 12w scan after that, but 10w seems a bit late to me. Feb is going to drag now as well.

I've had a banging headache all day. Woke at 0330 with it and it's been there all day. Had to come home and have a nap after work to try and shift it.

Hows everyone else doing? I definitely hear you with the bloat. It just grows and grows throughout the day

 

[Rose83]

I’ve been doing a bit better the last couple of days, I mean I feel sick all day every day but the last two days it seems to have been a bit more manageable. But then last night I dreamt I was bleeding and woke up to painful cramps (no bleeding) and of course was then a bit panicked when I didn’t immediately feel like puking. But I seem fine again now and feel totally nauseous. I do now have a tension headache from tensed up muscles all across my shoulder

in unrelated news I feel like I’ve got somewhere with my kitchen plans this week - we are have a full kitchen rip out and going back to brick because it’s an Edwardian house. It all seems to have been going super slow and of course I want work started ASAP. But yesterday I did a bit of a 180 on the design but am confident we’ve cracked it now!

 

[chattychar1990]

The bloat is real!!
I eat and I literally look 6 months pregnant. It’s a joke. I’m quite slim so it’s really weird seeing me look so big and round hahaha! X

 

[AmyThomas]

I'm with you char. Not sure how I'm going to hide it for 12 weeks

Sorry about the cramps and headache Rose, but great news on the kitchen plans. I love it when you feel like you've actually achieved something. I've had a good day so far today, and DD has been really good too. So I'm buzzing from that.

Had a look at the NHS website and it says you should have the booking in appt before 10w (think it's something to do with the blood tests and if any issues were flagged), so I spoke to the MW today and they moved my appt to the 7th Feb. That's going to make it seem real
