******January 2019 Mummies******

I had to google what a satsuma is. It's called a mandarin here lol. I've been eating a lot of apples, oranges, popcorn, potatoes and cheese on crackers. I'm craving the crisps too but trying not to eat them! mum says I'm having a boy since I'm craving more salty things. We'll have to see!

Sarah - I order you to stop worrying whenever you have cramps (in a nice way). You and baby are fine. I still get cramps. x

Good luck cwat!!

 

[Mayflower85]

It was fruit pastilles with my other two and they're both girls, at first I thought this one might be a boy, now I think girl.

Oh I know I'm a right nightmare worrier. Is it true you are crampier if dehydrated.

I'm struggling to eat in general at the moment. But been trying. Winrerwolf when is your next scan? How's the sickness ? X

 

[CI1979]

Totally craving fruit too at the .moment but also anything cold, ice cream, lollies and cold drinks lol.

Just been to collect my wedding dress and so so relived as it will be an easy fix for a 5 month bump, phew! Hadn't realised how stressed I'd been.

First midwife check next week, can't wait as she'll book my scan too. Have also order some maternity clothes as I've a bump now, pretty sure it's mostly the rubbish I've been eating to get through the sickness but at least I'll be more comfortable. Has anyone got their 12 week scan booked yet?

Yes that is true. Keep hydrated. I sometimes wake up with mild cramps, probably related to dehydration.

My next scan is at 12+5 on the 11th of July. I'm still sick. haven't vomited much, it's just a constant nausea. At least it has a pattern now. I'm usually only a little off until about 3:30, then it suddenly gets really bad. Dinner time is horrible at the moment. Cooking sets me off so I've been having toast and hubby has been fending for himself lol. How are you?

I hear you there. I definitely look pregnant but I'm convinced it's just extra belly fat from eating so often to control the nausea. I might order some maternity pants soon too.

Glad your wedding dress will be ok!! You'll have to show us a pic when the big day comes

 

[Mayflower85]

I've just had a letter through for my "12" week scan, so hopefully I'll know where I am - 6th July at 1pm. Last time I was pregnant, I went to my 12 week scan and they put me back 2 weeks, and the baby was too small to get the measurements they needed and I got a rescan a few weeks later.

 

[sarah120281]

Yeah mine defo gets worse as day goes in. I'm back in bed now I feel so ill. Hubby making spaghetti Bolognese not sure if I can stomach. I have been having hot chocolate to help with feeling sick seems to fill me up a little.

I cannot eat as much at the moment. Frustrating cos I need the food for energy.

Xx

 

[Cwat89]

Well I’m absolutely worn out lolol!! Went for my first midwife appointment and it did take 2 hours went through everything, medical history, questions and what to expect etc. Took screening bloods and a urine sample and checked all that and blood pressure etc and gave me all my pregnancy notes to keep etc. I’m pleased now it’s done and got the ball rolling but it was quite tiring xx

Ooh I will excited now that I haven't wasted money on a dress that will look awful! Lol I've been wearing maternity jeans all afternoon, under bump ones as i cant cope wotj anythibg over bump at the moment. Makes me feel ridiculously claustrophobic! Not sure why.

Just been to a family baby shower and they wanted a photo of all the pregnant ladies in a lime and insisted I join in. They're all 23 weeks + and I just looked like it eaten a bit too much!! Can't wait to actually look pregnant!

 

[Mrsbridge17]

Hi everyone! Not sure why I am not getting notifications anymore v strange! I have my twelve week scan on Thursday where I think I will be 11+3.

We went and looked at pushchairs today and I am so confused lol I was sure I’d be getting an I candy but now I think I will be getting a vennici although I’m not sure if it is too big I think I am fussy lol.

My sickness is about gone these past two days hoping it is just things settling now and nothing sinister x

 

[Mayflower85]

I have an original iCandy Strawberry, I absolutely love it! Really well made, good quality, it's done two babies now and still in good condition. I think I'm going to treat myself to an iCandy Orange as it can be a double or a single, and would suit a newborn and a toddler.

 

[Mayflower85]

I was also going to ask how many people you'd all told? Only my partner and one friend know!

 

[WheelDon2]

Cwat- Glad everything went well at your midwife appt! How long do you have to wait until you get a scan done?

CI1979- SO happy that your dress is going to work out! Can't wait to see pictures!

MrsBridge- Agreed on the morning sickness. I don't want it to come back with a vengeance in a few weeks!

Mayflower- We actually just announced to everyone! It's a huge weight lifted off our shoulders from having to keep it it. A lot of friends had been looking at recent photos of me and said they were thinking I was pregnant. I have a little bump coming in, SOO excited!

 

[WinterWolf]

MrsBridge - I know nothing about pushchairs. Went into a baby shop the other day and found it were overwhelming!! I don't even know what to look for and there's like 300 options haha. So uh, if anyone can recommend anything good that's not too big (my car isn't very big), that would be great... I want to start getting one "big" thing a month now.

Cwat - can't wait! Glad your appointment is over. 2hrs sounds like an ordeal. I have GP led care so don't have to see a midwife until 20 weeks

Mayflower - I told mum and my sister when I got my BFP. Told my best friend a week later. We told hubby's parents (who told their whole side of the family -.-) at 7 weeks after our scan. Had to tell work last week as I was too sick to go in. Haven't announced to the wider world yet and don't want to until after the 12 week scan.

If your morning sickness is easing off around 10 weeks, the placenta is probably starting to work mine isn't easing yet but I'm only 9+2.

 

[Cwat89]

WheelDon 2 - Thankyou since 4 weeks I’ve actually been having weekly scans and will be until 12 weeks as it was IVF but my scan with the NHS is 13th July when I will be 12w 3 days the only good thing is we obviously know exactly what my dates are because of it being IVF and so far all my scans have been fine but I’m still so nervous and I keep telling myself to calm down but I can’t even the midwife said try to relax I feel like a walking nightmare at the moment lol in fact I still don’t believe I’m pregnant!! Xx

Oh wow! At least IVF allows for perfect dates. Have you tried meditating in the morning and before bed? It has helped me quite a bit and should help with the nerves.

 

[Mrsbridge17]

We have also announced to everyone as it is getting a bit obvious now and all my friends know I won’t say no to a glass of wine haha!

Winterwolf yes it is overwhelming glad we have until January lol.

Agreed, a glass sounds so good right about now haha

 

[Mrsbridge17]

Haha it will all be worth no wine in the end! It will be my 30th birthday shortly after baby arrives so I will have a good excuse to have a glass or two then! X
