Due in September
- Thread starter TTC no2
- Start date
Ugh I’ve been having a rubbish day. Been feeling crappy with nausea as usual but I feel like I’m banging my head against a wall with my kitchen renovation stuff. Basically the fancy kitchen company I was planning to use have unexpectedly come in WAY over budget, like there is no way we can use them overbudget. I’ve taken the plans to DIY Kitchens online and priced the kitchen at a much more reasonable level for something which on the surface looks very similar to what I want. so there is kind of light at the end of that tunnel.
However my husband is so busy with his work, like chronically overworked as he is self employed that he doesn’t want to talk about it at all. Which means I can’t get anything started but we already have started ripping bits out the kitchen so need to properly get started but he won’t actually let me get going and it’s driving me bonkers. Difficult to explain but we are removing bits of stud wall type stuff and so we don’t know the exact measurements of the room until those bits are done so we can’t possibly order a kitchen based off of rough measurements. So I need to start tearing these things down but he is just saying no

Haha. I was the same the other week TTC. Trying to work out how much leave I would need before EDD and then how much that would leave me with, added to the years worth I would accrue while off...and wondering when I had to go back. I'm only part time now, but I know from last time that I went back with crazy amounts of leave to use.
Urgh, that all sounds very stressful Rose. Can you use a bit of emotional blackmail (cue pregnancy tears) to get hubby on side? Although it must be really difficult if hes overworked as you don't want to stress him out. I feel for you. When I have a plan sorted in my head I want it done straight away.
I'm feeling...odd. Sometimes I feel nothing. Sometimes I feel really nauseous and like I need to eat, but as soon as I try to eat I feel really uncomfortably bloated. Lying in bed now feeling so bloated. It's like I'm about to have a really upset stomach and loads of wind (tmi), but i know that's not it.

Unfortunately he is totally immune to crying and it just makes him more annoyed and unlikely to have any part in it. I think I’m just going to have to price absolutely everything, present it to him and say here you go, this is your price, when can I start messing around and get going!

Oh no Rose poor you.
Hope uz get the kitchen sorted soon.
I absolutely hated doing all that stuff. Our house in a new build. My partner didnt want anything to do with the decision making with the inside.. no input at all. I found it stressful for I'd never done anything like that before..
Amy hows ur break going?
I was so tired lastnight I ended up going to sleep pretty early for me. My eyes were stinging. Still have no real other symptoms anymore apart from bloated tummy. So I hope all is ok.

Hey ladies. We're home now. The break was good, but I just felt so tired and bloated all the time. But it's been good since we got back. Had a new sofa delivered, which I LOVE. Was supposed to have my booking in appt at lunchtime today, but the me moved it forward and came to mine earlier, so that was handy. She put me at 6w 4d. Only one day ahead, but puts me one day closer to the 12w scan.
Sorry to hear about the sickness Rose. I'm feeling pretty normal at the moment, so obvs feeling worried about that. But then I felt pretty good for my last pregnancy so hoping all is ok

Rose I can fully sympathise I’ve been sick the last 3 mornings, it is so awful and I feel so nauseous all day. I’m taking really strong anti sickness meds but still feel like death constantly and I’m only 6+2weeks 
not sure if I’m feeling worse than with the boys at the moment, either way it is no fun.

Mine has turned into a migraine with sickness now so I’m feeling terrible. It’s the school holiday so I have all 3 kids too. Admittedly they have been very good and amused themselves playing all day in their play room but I feel like such a crappy mum when I’m so incapable! My husband just phoned to say he’ll have to be late home again too so that’s not ideal either.
but on the plus side, it’s all just further signs that I have a healthy little bean in there and in 9 weeks tomorrow by the hospital calculations so it’s getting closer to scan time!
I know lack of symptoms is super worrying TTC but just remember you saw your healthy little one this week so they’ve obviously just decided to be kind to you! X
Really feel for you Rose. Must be so difficult to feel so terrible and have all 3 to look after. I've been really lucky today that DH is still on leave, so I've pretty much put him on childcare duty.
After worrying about feeling ok I'm now feeling really nauseous and not enjoying it at all. I'm not happy when I feel fine...I'm not happy when I feel ill.......

This is totally me right now... worrying because I’m not off food like I was with my 2 previous pregnancies. But so much more tired than last time and sort of wanting symptoms to be different to help me believe that this baby will stick unlike the last one!
Tri 1 is an absolute mind f**k but I’m incredibly grateful to be getting another shot at it so I’m trying to suck it up and focus on that.
Hugs to everyone feeling tired/sick! X
Thank you ladies feeling better since we got the kids to bed and in the end my husband wasn’t that late home so that relieved the pressure a little bit. I’m about to have a shower to try to loosen my muscles then heading to bed. My husband is taking our boys out to a show and me and my daughter are having what she calls ‘a girls day’ which mainly involves me buying her a lot of sugary snacks and going to the cinema! Hope you all have a good day x

Left hubby to sort her, do the washing and ironing, and think about dinner as I've planned nothing. My only saving grace is that I got up with her this morning and let him sleep in. Oh, and that I'm growing a child
I don't remember being this tired last time round. Maybe I've forgotten, or maybe it didn't matter as I didn't have anyone to look after

I’m better again now - thanks char - migraine eventually went and haven’t been sick again although the nausea is still pretty constant.
storm is kind of still ongoing here, extreme wind and intermittent snowing so I’m stuck inside with the 3 kids for half term. They have gone a bit stir crazy which isn’t much fun!

Hey ladies, unfortunately I’m suffering pretty horrendously again this time around, had hyperemesis with all 3 of my boys and suffering this time too. I was admitted to hospital yesterday for iv fluids and iv anti sickness meds, after not keeping anything down for nearly 48 hours. I’ve also been given 2 different anti sickness meds to take alternately throughout the day and fingers crossed I’m doing better today.
Feel like I’m so far behind everyone as I’m 6+6wks, although I do have my booking in appt 3rd March when I will be 10 weeks. So excited for everyone else’s scans coming up.

Oh no Kanga, that you can horrible. Makes my nausea feel like nothing though, so thanks. I hope you feel a bit better soon. I'm only a day ahead of you, and I agree, the scan feels forever away. And with my booking in appt having been really early, it's going to be a long wait.
no drama here with the storm. It was really windy and rained loads, but we seem to have got away with it.
I've been feeling better today. Not sure if its because I relaxed most of the weekend, or if being busy today actually helped keep my mind off it. I've got my flu jab tomorrow so that gives me a reason to have a late start at work, yay

Thank you Amy, although relentless nausea is just as crippling and awful. I forgot you were quite close in dates as me. I’m hoping to go to work tomorrow, I start at 9:30am after the school run so should hopefully be okay. I don’t know how I will cope with my 5am starts on Saturday and Sunday though! I normally get signed off work around this time for up to 9 weeks so hoping with these new meds I can keep the sickness under control and stay in work.
We got battered by the winds and the seafront flooded, I’m on the south coast, but thankfully we didn’t lose any power. Although I can say I saw much of it being in the hospital lol
