Urban I'm tracking my weight and I'm tracking what I eat. I've stayed the same weight but I haven't had bad nausea, I'm really hungry if anything!

They say to eat what you can when you have nausea/sickness and it's common to lose weight ("your appetite will return with a vengeance" apparently!). Are you taking a multi vit so you're getting your nutrients?

Has anyone else got a really bloated tummy? I have and I actually look pregnant even though it's the size of a grain of rice!!

Yeah that’s what I’ve read too and I’m not underweight anyway as my bmi was overweight however I just didn’t know when to worry!

I’m taking pregnacare which I think has all the stuff I need?

I’ve had a mega bloated belly, it’s calmed down a little now but yeah I thought I looked like 5 months pregnant haha!

Back from meeting my lovely midwife. Getting me appt for hospital as soon as possible to see if I'm taking aspirin again due to my stillbirth and also to look at my thyroid meds as may need altering.
Was told will have plan from very early on and won't go over my due date induction would be scheduled for 40 weeks at very latest. Feels a bit more real now xx

So pleased it went well! My appointment was great too the midwife was fab. I am going to be consultant lead as mine is an ivf pregnancy and like you I won’t be allowed to go over 40 weeks. I have an appointment on the 23rd November so I will find out more then

 

[Summerwine]

I'm super envious of you ladies with lovely, supportive midwives! Glad the appts went well Princess, Peppermint and Spriddy

I'm also feeling ashamed hearing that some of you have maintained weight and others have lost... I feel sure I'm piling on the pounds (too scared to get on the scales!). I'm really struggling with the nausea and eating is the only thing that offers any relief!

I'm taking Vit D and Folic Acid. I eat pretty well - lots of fruit and veg - so should be getting everything else from my diet.

We had our early scan... There is definitely a little bub. All looks good, the consultant thinks the due date may get pushed back by a few days and there is definitely only one bun in this oven We heard the heartbeat too and saw the flutter. It was amazing. I'm making a mini person!xxxxxx

Fantastic hun bet you have a massive smile today xx

Anyone else weight tracking like mad like me?! I was 79.5kg when I found out and now I’m 77kg! Not sure if I should be worried or not. I’m not throwing up just consistent nausea and therefore gone off aloe of food however I’m still trying to eat little and often.

I haven't weighed once! I'm more scared to do so as terrified of piling it on. Ive had a close bereavement in the last week so I'm bouncing between a mixture of comfort eating and no-energy to trying to be healthy. Now I have a cold too. I'm hoping to start a fresh next week and get my scales/ measure going

I do, thank you It's been a massive relief and given me a real positive focus after a tough time. I was beginning to think I was imagining the bfp as I've not had major symptoms or anything lol

I know the feeling Hun I lost my mum unexpectedly 2 weeks ago and it’s been hell waiting for the coroner so wecan arrange the funeral. It’s kind of put pregnancy to the back burner but I’m now desperate for this baby to thrive as I feel my mum had a plan for me.
Take care hun and let’s try and chill a bit xx

 

[Spriddy7]

And I’ve no symptoms either I said to midwife yesterday keep having stop myself buying more tests lol d

Spriddy, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your mum is looking over you and guiding the way xx
Yes, let's chill & looks forward to much brighter days. I'm glad your midwife has put your mind at ease. I have mine in two weeks and there is just no way I could have waited! x

 

[Summerwine]

Huge congrats HS1985 - that's fantastic news!!

My early scan is tomorrow and I am so anxious today. Coupled with nausea, I'm really struggling to eat!
I've been so tired this week too. I get home from work and lie on the sofa until I drag myself to bed, where I then proceed to wake up at least once an hour between 020-050... Its killing me how unproductive I'm being. Hopefully this is just a Tri 1 thing?!

Not sure I'll get any sleep tonight worrying about tomorrow, but hopefully it will be positive news and I can start getting back to sleeping again.

I've been tired too, although I've not been sure what is causing that. Randomly I've found going for a walk on my lunch break though actually perks me up a bit and if I can, I get straight on my exercise bike for a 15 minutes when I'm home and I have a bit of oompf for the evening. Don't get me wrong, that's not all the time! There have been a fair few evenings I've done exactly as you have. Just do what feel right.

Try not to panic about the scan, though I can completely understand. I have everything crossed for you that is a wonderful and exciting experience and that tomorrow afternoon you will find a smile taken to a whole new level xx

Hi all
Congratulations to everyone. This will be my third child, I have two daughters 10 and 7 years old. I have just turned 36.
Very excited to have baby number three as baby was all planned and very much wanted for a number of years.
I am due (by period dates) on the 21st June however I will be have a C Section so I imagine this date will be earlier by a week or two.
Symptoms.....are mental!! Never had symptoms as strong with my other two. 24 hour nausea, some days I just don't want to eat and some days I can (but I do eat every day!). Certainly no cravings just constant severe nausea with sometimes burning acid heartburn pain oh with the few aches and pains thrown in.
Not sure how the grandparents (and the brother and sister in law who cannot have children) are going to react to the news but we are really happy and excited.....and they should be too (but understandable brother and sister in law may need space).
Also we do not mind what we have as long as baby is healthy ��

 

[dooeyona]

Hi ladies, can I join? I’m due 14th June with baby number 3! Xxx

 

[Summerwine]

Congratulations and welcome Triggs and Dooeyona!!

My early scan went well this morning! Saw our little bean and heartbeat, which was lovely and felt surreal! Measuring a week behind the Dr & Midwifes dates, but based on my late ovulation dates it's spot on. Feeling very blessed today (and sleepy, after spending the night anxiously tossing and turning!)

Hope all you ladies have a lovely weekend! X

 

[Rachyroo]

Hi ladies,

Can I join? 8 + 4 today and due on June 13th with baby number 2. Feeling totally nauseated and exhausted the whole time, struggling with work and a toddler so just hanging in there and hoping I start to feel better soon!

 

[CMcDx]

Welcome newbies!!


I have managed to book another reassurance scan with EPAS for 10 weeks. Just so nervous and can't relax until I get past that point

 

[HS1985]

Congrats to Triggs, Dooeyena & Rachy!

And Summerwine, I'm so pleased your scan went well. Hope you have had a lovely weekend full of smiles and a distinct lack of nausea! x
