How's everyone feeling?

[Olive]

I seem to be suffering with every symptom I thought possible! Sooooooo tired I'm not complaining outloud as it'll be worth it I just worry that the cramp is something else, that my symptoms are too soon and a bad sign, that there's twins which is why I'm suffering so much (OH a twin) and that something is going to go wrong! I'm a terrible worrier x

I'm a worrier too so I feel your pain!

Twins though...exciting stuff!

my sore boobs have definitely eased, which is great as i am still breastfeeding. Still very concerned about little Jasper and how another baby bro or sis so soon will affect him, but in my positive moments i feel very good about it all.

Liam is convinced its a baby girl... i am tempted to agree with him (he was right last time!!)

Can you get a tattoo while pregnant?

Ooh team pink!

I don't think you can get a tattoo whilst pregnant. At least, I don't think it would be recommended. What are you thinking of getting?

I would really like to get a tattoo of an ivy vine that runs underneath one boob and then sort of fans out over the boobs (more on one side than the other) eventually it will go down my back a bit too and possibly over one arm, but i would just like to get me cleavage bit done for now

If it is a little girl (which judging by how differently this pregnancy feels, plus how 100% sure Liam is that its a girl, it probably is) she will be called Ivy Rose so it will be for her x

Ah that's lovely I found this article, which may help

Thanks Olive I will wait until i have finished my pregnancy but probably not until after i have breastfed (i imagine i will breastfeed for many years yet!) At least it gives me a solid 10 months to think about it!!

 

[Olive]

No probs At least you can plan it to be exactly how you want it to be.

Indeedy! I will definatly post piccies when i finally get around to getting it done!

what do you think your having Olive? A wee boy or a wee girl?

Feeling so strange it's unreal! Cramps on and off all the time, exhausted but can't actually get much sleep (because of cramps), haven't been sick yet, but the thought of food repulses me.... If I notice any boob enlargement though, there'll be no more complaining from me. My dream will finally come true!

Hope the cramps ease off hun and hope you get your boob boost! Lol

Cramps better today, nausea taking over Boob situation: slight increase. There IS hope for flat girls

no not really! I was actually born in Scotland but only coz my dad was in the forces, i spent most of my life in the West Country, my dad was from Reading but my Mums whole family are scousers, so sometimes a bit of this an that gets thrown in there for good measure

I've been feeling sick on and off all day but its very mild, which worries me.
Shouldn't I be throwing up all the time?

My boobs are sore and it doesn't help that I keep prodding them to make sure they're still sore cos if they're not then I'll worry about that as well! Crazy I know!

Mentally I'm fighting the anxiety.

Last week I was really worried about m/c this week its Downs or no heart beat

I just wish I could have my scan and Downs screen sooner than 12 weeks - it seems like ages to wait and worry.

I really want to enjoy my pregnancy and I am so very happy to have conceived, but heck, its a bloody stressful time isn't it?!

 

[Dragonfly Fi]

Dont worry m'dear, every pregnancy is different, my first i was throwing up ALL the time, felt throughly awful for the majority of the pregnancy and had real difficulty eating well and keeping myself healthy and active. This pregnancy seems to be very different, low, underlying nausea all day, NO throwing up (yet) and my apetite hasnt been greatly affected (though i do adore fish finger and ketchup sandwiches )

You are fine, the worry is normal and is in mere preparation for when you hold your little tiny delicate baby and realise how much they mean to you... that fear starts now and its a good thing, because without it we wouldnt be human xx

 

[Olive]

I agree Princess. It's scary when you've wanted something so much and for a long time too.

[positivity :)]

morning girls

just read through all your posts and sounds like everyone is having a 'normal' pregnancy

all those horrible symptoms will disappear, i don't have any really anymore although last week they may have been disguised when i was unwell.

my scan is in 10 days time and in terms of pregnancy i'm feeling really well.

only weird thing is i have quite a bump already. when i was in hospital last week i lost half a stone (not great for baby ) but now i've lost weight my bump is really sticking out!!

today i am drained and tired... i went out clubbing last night (i know i know) pre-arranged and i was doing the photography so i had no choice about going really, its the last time i will get the chance!

today i just feel drained and tired and not like doing anything!

 

[kanga86]

I was actually sick this morning for the first time, woo!! It meant I felt well enough to get through my shift at work and then eat some breakfast!! Still getting the waves of nausea and light headed though! Quite glad work do know why I am sitting down alot!

Boobs have been so much better since getting a sleep bra as they are very rarely released from some support (although defintley needed as gone from an E to an F already ).

Managing to sleep alot better now too, seems the exhaustion from not having much sleep has taken over. Not that I mind as I don't feel sick when Im asleep!! xx

 

[Cazza]

I am exhausted beyond belief!!

Very thirsty and desperately trying to stop myself scoffing a large pack of cheesy puffs!!!

I get days with nausea, days without.

But I can definately NOT clear up after the animals at the moment

 

[kedi376]

Today I feel slightly bloated and I have a light headache. Other than that I feel fairly normal. So all is good so far!

 

[Olive]

I'm just back from a 4 mile walk and feel shattered. I didn't feel nauseous at all when out but it has just hit me again.

xxxx

 

[Lilelephant]

I feel awful today! But did have hair and eyebrow's done today so feel more human.
But sickness back and I feel like I am coming down with a cold!

 

[1986princess]
