Nausea is flooring me today. And the sickness ugh. I know it's probably a positive thing but dd hasn't been well today and it's so hard looking after both of us. Roll on 2nd tri

How's everyone doing?

Edit: wow it's got so crowded in here lately, I can't keep up.

Welcome fela, I may have seen your bfp? Hopefully this pregnancy goes smoother for you. Personally this one is rougher than my last lol x

Sorry you are feeling rubbish JemKat... feel free to vent away anytime x I am pretty sure that 80% of us here feel pretty rubish x

Welcome Fela, hopong for a happy and healthy bean for you x

Me I'm drinking apple and orange right now. With loads of ice cubes. Went totally off water. Every time I have water I swear I can taste washing up liquid in the glass OHs head is melted with me lol xx

I'm so sorry for this impending emotional offloading, but I am feeling rather fragile today. All day I have felt shaky, exhausted and as if I just want to cry and cry. I've got to pull myself together as I have a lot to do today but I have been feeling just emotionally and physically drained. I can't tell anyone else about it and am so grateful on days like today for this place where I can voice this and not feel bad about it.

Sorry for not having a more valuable contribution today, I hope you're all feeling a little stronger than I am today.

Aw I feel bad for missing this post. Don't worry hun think a few of us have a had wobblers on here. I'm on and off so I get you. Had a rough few days with dd being sick, me being sick, and work. Sometimes it all piles up. Just look after yourself and it should pass for a bit soon xx

 

[_GG_]

JenKat, I'm so sorry you've been feeling so bad today. I promise you it will get better.

Hope all you ladies are feeling okay. Nausea all day again but as with other days, has all but disappeared in the evening so I can eat a decent meal. My food at work today consisted of hula hoops and minstrels!

Have you ladies had much intercourse since you have found out you were pregnant?

Me and my partner did last night and I had some very slight brownish discharge, trying to tell myself this is normal and can happen!!

Wow thanks for mentioning this. I can't help you with the discharge but I probably wouldn't worry if it's slight and doesn't develop full blown bleeding.... But sex, omg. This might be TMI...We did it just before I found out I was pregnant and for some reason it hurt so bad. Nothing else was different than usual but I was in pain for about 30 minutes afterwards with such bad throbbing down there. Even though I'd had BFN that day it made me think, am I pregnant? And then after about a week I thought we should try again, and I literally had to stop it mid way through because the pain was so bad again.

Anyone else have this before? It's like my body just can't relax and is just super tense. We had a really good sex life before but I've just found I've completely gone off it. Hope it doesn't stay that way... Any advice?

Yes I've gone off it too, I really wasn't bothered about having it as I was worried about bleeding etc even thou I know it's totally safe, I think it's usual for women to have a low sex Drive during pregnancy, whilst some others want it more.

I've gone right off it, we are still having sex but only twice a week. my nausea is so bad in the evening. although this week we've done it two days in the morning which was much better for me as I wasn't nauseous and my bloating was much better. last pregnancy my sex drive went through the roof

 

[KHTW]

With DD we never had sex again until she was born (well, some time after). And I am not having any sex drive this time either. I know having sex during pregnancy is safe but anyway i just can't 'risk' it! OH is ok with that, he is a saint

 

[JemRose]

Nausea has hit me so bad the last few days. I have completely gone off food. I will be starving hungry but just not want anything to eat at all. I have been surviving on toast, bagels and crackers!

All i really want is just plain stuff... anyone else getting this at around 7-8 weeks?

I'm with you on the nausea I can't eat or look at anything without wanting to be sick! Luckily I haven't been sick yet. But the nausea is lasting all day!! Yesterday I couldn't touch breakfast and I ate a quarter of a ham sandwich for lunch and couldn't stomach anything else. Today I've managed a quarter of a piece of toast for breakfast! I'm not even hungry, I just feel awful! Sipping water is not helping. Driving is 100% making things worse!!

How is everyone getting around eating and the nausea? x

I'm the same. We've had intercourse a few times and although more intense, it does hurt me and my partner for some reason. (TMI) he said it feels like much more pressure down there and like something is stopping him (assuming its the closed cervix but no idea) x

Me and oh had sex last night for the first time since we found out. I was too afraid at first then I was feeling like shit. I love pregnant sex lol (sorry) and orgasms are more intense in a few months. Haven't had any blood or brown discharge yet. Little bit of cramping but that's normal too. That's what puts me off in the first place, that you can have blood etc. Fx though.

With nausea I'm finding eating plain, little and often is the only thing that makes it a bit better. And if I need to be sick , just do it. I eat before I get out of bed in the morning. I drink lemon water when I feel nauseous. Apparently it's meant to help and it seems to work

Weird question, anyone struggling to brush their teeth? It makes me feel so ill!

All seems ok this morning thank goodness, just got a tiny bit of cramping.

We're going to hold off now until we see the midwife next week, I know she will say it's fine but I'm such a worrier and it really scared me last night. It was only a really tiny small amount.

I get you. I had a bit of bleeding at the start of my pregnancy which seems to have been okay. Bleeding and brown discharge are normal after sex, but it's so scary. Especially first tri! We were holding off until scan but it has been 7 weeks lol. You'll be fine hun honestly xx

Yeah I read it’s totally normal as the cervix is more sensitive or something so a little bit of bleeding is quite common

I had a whole week of feeling like I was 5 mins away from being sick (watery mouth and everything) but was never actually sick. Yesterday got progressively better and feel reasonable today only mild nausea but I am really struggling to drink that seems to make it worse. I can’t bare water so I’m having to keep switching cordial flavours! I did find melon a nice change so that could be an option if you’re struggling to keep water down?

I know I should just be be relieved I’m feeling better but I’m a bit worried it’s a bad sign for the pregnancy, just because it’s been constantly shit for 7 consecutive days... is anyone else’s sickness better some days than others?

 

[Fela]

Today I’ve felt really rough, funny feeling in my stomach and not enjoying my food. Also I’m shattered, probably sleeping 2 hours more than usual but still exhausted!

Just had my flu jab too.
