Worst symptom for me is definitely the bloating! but I know what you mean about the bad taste in mouth, I had that past couple of days too... makes drinking water taste horrible even though I'm so thirsty!

Alot is abbreviations or asking me questions about who is going to be in charge of my care or where I intend to have the baby.... I dont blooming know, Iv not even booked in yet 😂

 

[Shell34]

i Thought i would test agin I know last time I promise lol and I got my 3+ weeks so it has gone up from last week so I am thinking this means things are going ok and my hcg levels are increasing so a little more at ease now seeing that,
What sort of questions did they ask marvellous? If you don’t mind me asking

Hmmm, I’d say just fill in what you can & leave the rest & just simply say your unsure. I bet most mums do the same. I’d say for the bits about where our intend to have baby they prob just want to know whether you want a hospital birth or at home etc. Again if your unsure just say your undecided & let them assist with the rest

I need to start buying baggier clothes to hide this for another 6 weeks! First picture was the 1st Nov, 2nd is today. From the front my belly just looks like a tire !! I don’t even think mines bloat as it’s quite firm! I’ll have to start buying maternity clothes soon haha!

 

[Marvellous_mum]

I just rang the mw as I was getting so anxious ( I have serious anxiety issues anyway) about the paperwork. She said they will help and just fill in what I can. I cried with relief �� god these damn hormones

 

[Shell34]

At least your mind has been put at rest marvellous, I know what you mean about hormones I am crying at everything little thing at the moment
That’s quite a difference linnets like you say I think you are going to struggle hiding it for too much longer I can’t wait to get a hard bump and feel little kicks

 

[Owls1]

Congratulations jelly bean!!!

Sorry if I've missed anything but hope you're all well!

Shell I bloody tested again!!!! What is wrong with me lol. I feel pants but because it's not too horrendous I got paranoid. I'll be taking it all back once sickness has fully kicked in!

Cute bump already linett!!

 

[MamaWannabe]

Haha Shell I tested again at the weekend, but with a pink dye test I had around the house, the test line came up so dark as the sample was moving through test window and there was barely any dye for the control line left! Definitely made me feel reassured!

I love the little bump Linnett! I agree, you'll have a time hiding it if it keeps going over next few weeks! My bloat bump has had me undoing button on my jeans while sitting at my desk everyday haha, but with a long top over so no one can see haha.

I've been feeling so exhausted today, I think it's because I "only" slept 8 hours last night! Been sleeping around 9 or 10 hours a night for the past week, but it's made me feel great during the day... can't get to get home from work and fall asleep today though.

Good to see everyone’s getting their appointments sorted

How’s everyone doing? What’s your worst symptoms out of curiosty ?

The nausea is annoying but the 2 things that stand out the most are my painful boobs/nipples!! They’ve already grown a size, if not 2 (I was a 34G to start with!) & they feel now how I’d expect them to feel after babies born so I dread to think how they’ll be then ! The other symptom is my own breath lol! It’s what makes me feel so nauseous I think. Don’t get me wrong it’s not bad breath but the only time I feel not sick is whe n I’ve brushed my teeth ! The way I explained it to hubby is you know when your hanging & you mouth just feels dry & furry & you just have a crappy taste in your mouth, well it’s like that all the time lol. This was actually one of the things that lead me to believe I was pregnant as it’s not something I’d normally notice / be bothered by but it’s been annoying since about 3 weeks pregnant ! Lol

Anyone else have any weird symptoms ?

My only symptom is sore boobs - doesn't bother me in the day but I'm finding it really uncomfortable at night and keep waking up in the early hours.
Guess I'd better get used to it! Still no nausea hoping I'm one of the lucky ones but that could all change!

Also welcome jellybean and congrats on your positive 😁

 

[Lissa86]

That's great Marvellous! When's your appointment?

I called the GP today as they hadn't got back to me yet after Friday, and they said they'll refer me without having to make an appointment with GP, and midwife should be contacting me sometime this week hopefully to arrange appointment!

Are you ladies getting the flu vaccine? I asked about it today and got told I can have it if I want, and to call back on Friday to see if back in stock as they have a shortage of them at the moment!

Think I will get the vaccine better safe than sorry and I commute on the tram full of people coughing and sneezing 🤧🤢

I wouldn't worry if there are questions you don't know about, they will explain what they need to know. It's their job. So today my brain literally wasn't working properly, like I couldn't find my words. Handing over my patient in ed and I looked like a right party in front of the consultant as my brain went blank. That normally happens at 4am on a night shift, not in the day!

Oh and I had to pee about 6 times in a 12 hour shift that is not normal and not easy to hode
