I didn't start feeling pregnant until the end of the second trimester last time lol...
I doubt I will be lucky this time around though...
Especially with a toddler on toe and no help whatsoever from anyone...
But I was completely exhausted the whole pregnancy properly unable to do more than moving around the house :/
Then the spd came baah lol what did we do????

I wouldn't worry Lucy lots of woman don't get symptoms it does reassure us tho so I know what ya mean and it may well hit any day . Today I feel so nauseous worse than other days but tomoro I may not feel sick much at all xx

Thanks ladies, I'm just being paranoid I guess. My boobs feel massive so I should take some comfort in that I guess! I know I'll be twitchy until I see dark lines or 2-3, then 3+! I said to hubby this morning life must have been so much easier back in the day when your doc would test and say you're pregnant, then that would be it! No lines, digis, googling etc!! X

Gooooooooood morning ladies hope we all had a lovely weekend! Hi and congrats to the newbies!

So I had my booking in app on Friday - all went well, went through about a MILLION questions ha ha! Got my notes, leaflets & ready steady baby book (yayy) !! Also booked in for an early scan on September 26th and then back to the midwife on the 27th for my bloods to get taken (not looking forward to that)

What a weekend I've had though, Friday was fine but from Saturday until now I have felt terrible, I'm wondering if its the pregnacare I'm taking, I've read up about it making a lot of woman feel nauseas - I've felt as if I'm going to be sick all weekend, I think I would feel better if I was but its just not happening, had a headache from Saturday night and also some diarrhea (tmi) my boobs have doubled in size and are very painful! I'm wondering if I should switch just to folic acid ? Has anyone had a bad experience with pregnacare and also can you just switch? xox

Tbh I just take folic acid. The tablet are small and easier to swallow when you're constantly suppressing the urge to throw up lol

Do you think I would be ok to switch from one to another? I don't think I can take this much longer !! xox

 

[titch]

I'm sure it must be fine. Just try to make sure you're eating a healthy diet and getting enough fresh air etc. If its making you sick its hardly helping your nutrition.

Folic acid is really important though so you must take that. When you think a lot of women have such bad sickness they hardly eat anything and they grow lovely healthy strong babies, vitamins can't be essential. My gp told me that taking folic acid was fine and if he thought vitamins were essential he would prescribe them.

Ok thanks, I'll pick some up on the way home tonight and hopefully I'll feel back to my old self soon xox

Hi ladies hope you are all well, not pregnancy related just wanted to ask if anyone knows how to upload a photo to my profile and a ticker to my signature? Is it because I'm viewing on my mobile that I can't work it out? Thank you xx

[cornishfairy]

Hope you feel better soon Jojo, great you've got the ball rolling with the docs I'm not sure when I'll ring mine, maybe middle of next week when we've decided what to do about fertility appt. I did wonder today whether to 'call in sick' the morning of the appt and see if they can postpone it, but I just feel awful about the thought of wasting the appointment when there are other people waiting to be seen. Argh! I wish I didn't have a conscience!! X

 

[sarahlouise86]

[jojo3972]

How is everyone?

Ive had a couple of days of sickness but its gone... :/ and apart from a very sore back I have no symptoms. Is anyone showing yet? I had a c section 14 months ago and I am most definitely looking like the start of a bump is forming. It's definitely bloat but wonder if its because the muscles still havent healed fully since the section?!

 

[jojo3972]

My muscles are screwed I will start to bloat about 6 weeks ish and my muscles just let lose lol x

 

[cornishfairy]

Any bloat for me seems to be going straight to my boobs! Considering I'm only 4w1d I'm gonna need to carry them around in a wheelbarrow soon. So sore! And becoming rather 'nippley' - it normal has to be freeeeeezing for them to poke out but they're standing to attention, bold as brass! X
