Sending you many hugs Mystery, hope you recover quickly.
Keep us posted on how you get on

This week for more has been a nightmare in regards to my emotions!
They have gone haywire and I'm either ready to throw something or like this morning, burst into tears when my husband hugged me! I knew the hormones threw off your emotions but I wasn't expecting it to be this bad! I don't know how I'm gonna feel minute to minute nowadays!

I'm on a mission to clean my house and prep food for my bday bbq tonight, but it's got quite windy here in Hampshire, so hoping it'll calm down soon.
How is everyone else getting on today?

Kholl, how insensitive of her? Hope your ok? Best to distance yourself from her asap.

Mystery, im so sorry. I will be keeping an eye out for you on the other threads. Sending you hugs.

Oh Phillipa, I feel for you. Although ive not had any mood swings yet. I feel sorry for my man already.

 

[Lynsey252831]

So sorry mystery. XXX

Phillipa hope the bday bbq goes well!! I have not really been too affected by my emotions yet however previous pregnancies I did get a bit of a nightmare in the later stages. Just try to be mindful it has really helped me to try to stay in the moment and accept how I feel without acting on it. My husband has got quite frustrated with me now as I'm not doing much around the house and he is working 50 hours plus a week and then doing everything at home and with the kids he is the one stressing and I'm just that sick and tired I don't have the energy to say anything back. I'm just hoping that the next few weeks I have a complete turn around and get BK to my usual duties lol. Xxx

Kholl that is a really mean thing to say. Some people are just awful. When we announced our 2nd my sister in law told my hubby off and said how could he do that to me! Lol he still hasn't got over that. I'm dreading telling my brother and her about number 5.

Lynsey I really hope you start feeling better soon! It seems like the first trimester has knocked us all. In a few weeks I bet we will all be skipping around being super women and glowing. Sending big hugs!!

Hey when does trimester 2 actually start? I've read conflicting info. I'm 13 weeks in 2 days and I'm hoping that's me in the second. We will need to set up a tri 2 group in the next few weeks as we all progress into the much needed tri 2. I'm being positive today. Got out the house and took kids to the cinema. Now I'm in bed right enough but I felt so much better for getting out.

How is everyone?? Xx

 

[Kholl]

Lynsey, so glad you got out! it really makes such a difference.

I am gonna vote that tri 2 starts at 13 weeks, cause I need to be there too!

omg you guys there was a dead rotting possum in my backyard, I disposed of it/didn't touch it but now I'm terrified the dog picked up toxoplasmosis or something from it and I'll get it and it'll hurt the baby, or one of the kids will get it and die. I don't even know how the stupid thing died or if the dog touched it or how long it's even been there but I am sick with worry now. The dog's been inside, licking the kids, on the sofa etc and that was before I found the possum so if he caught anything it's spread to us by now... I am so upset!

I called an emergency vet who wasn't concerned, but I don't think I'll sleep tonight

 

[Phillipa]

Morning ladies,
Hope you're all well today

Today I hit 12 weeks! I honestly was so nervous about getting here, but today feeling a lot better in general after having a naff week.

Kholl, hope you get some sleep! Can't be easy having that worry over you. We have 2 cats ourselves and Toxoplasmosis is a concern for me too, but I've been off litter duty since we found out and I always have antibacterial hand gel on me.

In other news, my bump seems to be growing! This photo was taken first thing this morning!!

 

[Kholl]

Aaah Phillipa look at that bump! It’s perfect! How are you feeling? Happy 12 weeks!

 

[Phillipa]

Aaah Phillipa look at that bump! It’s perfect! How are you feeling? Happy 12 weeks!

It feels weird to have this big a bump already lol!
I'm feeling good in myself, seeing the bump is making it feel more real for me now, but Thursday will definitely be the clincher!

How are you doing Kholl?

 

[Kholl]

It is so nice to get to/past 12 weeks. I'm 13 weeks tomorrow, I can't believe it.

I am ok, starting to get preoccupied with there being something wrong with the baby, I'm waiting anxiously for the anomaly scan. I declined all blood tests as they seem to cause more anxiety and don't actually give answers; only an amnio can do that, and with the risk of miscarriage we wouldn't do an amnio anyway so we didn't see the point of going down that route at all. I just really want this baby to be healthy and ok. It's been hard to get out of my head this time around.

 

[Phillipa]

Happy 13 weeks for tomorrow! I reckon we should start a bump pic thread when we move into Tri 2!

My husband wants to do the screening test at the scan, which I don't mind, but I have straight up said no to the amniocentesis for the same reason you have Kholl. I'm not willing to take that risk.

 

[Gemsy]

Phillipa, what a cute little bump! My jeans are officially too small now, I've gone around with them undone all day!

I have my midwife booking in appointment tomorrow. I just want to be in tri 2 now, I'm starting to feel really anxious about my 12 week scan now

 

[Pennypie]

I’m 12 weeks today but don’t feel like I have anything yet. Very much looking forward to seeing the little one on Wednesday and putting my mind at rest. xx

 

[Kholl]

Omg 13 weeks today!!! I am so excited!

Lynsey, do you want to start the tri 2 thread? I am happy to do it as well

How is everyone today?

 

[Phillipa]

Woo congrats Kholl! How are you feeling?

Today is a lazy day, I managed to get up and out to town for lunch with some friends but apart from that, I haven't achieved anything this afternoon. Having a blah day it seems!

 

[Summergurl]

Happy trimester 2 ladies xx

 

[Gemsy]

Had my booking in appointment today, my midwife was lovely!! I was in there for over an hour with her, she went over all my past complications with my pre-eclampsia and problems I had with my epidural being sited incorrectly which gave me issues for a looooong time afterwards! She was so reassuring and told me that if I have big worries about the birth (I don't think I do, but I may feel differently closer to the time!), I can be referred to a consultant midwife to go over my birth plan and things they will try and do differently for me. It just really put my mind at rest. Had all my blood tests done, urine sample. I'm booked to see her again at 16 weeks, but she said if I want her to listen to babies heart at any time between my 12 week scan and then, I can just give her a call and she's happy to see me

 

[Anna@work]

It’s so nice to read all your good news
I am 10+4 today and counting !!!
I think my sickness/nausea is getting better but don’t know if it’s just me getting used to it instead !
Looking forward to week 13 and all it’s promises ! (I definitely agree this is start of second trimester!)
Scan is next week on Thursday! Don’t feel too anxious yet but I am also trying not to think about it...
it is such a strange feeling to think that little baby is dancing around in here and I can’t feel a thing!

 

[Lynsey252831]

Hi nice to hear how everyone is getting on!
I'm now 13 plus 1 and finally bump has appeared from no where!
Here's a pic of my bump
Officially in tri 2 now and I was sick last night. Feel a bit better but still being sick. Can't wait until that part of it goes away.
I don't know whether to find out the gender. I can find out in 2 weeks and 6 days if I want...it's tempting but for some reason I don't know whether to wait this time until he/she is born. Xxx

 

[Phillipa]

Aww Lynsey, such a cute bump! Mine seemed to come out of nowhere too!
