eee ery your almost at the 12 week stage!

i feel so sick today roll on home time just 3 more hours to go

 

[Eryinera]

I know it's so scary!!
Just a noting my scan isn't until 13 weeks! Another agonising week of waiting then the beans will be spilled!!

Wish I could remove this foul taste from. My mouth

 

[Leighwiltshire]

i cant wait to tell everyone! i dont even have a date for that one yet, i just have another progress scan on the 31st ive not even had my booking in.

am one of the ones due late may so may actually be a june baby when they date me x

 

[Eryinera]

Tri 1 is the longest. But after having next to no fluids for so long I'm happy to announce my new orange juice craving I've gone through litres of the stuff the past 2 days x

 

[kabuk1]

By this time on Wednesday, everyone will know- assuming all is good at my scan. I got lucky and was relieved when I was given my scan date on the day when I'll be exactly 12 weeks. I would've hated to have to wait another week.

That's fantastic Ery! Hopefully that's a sign that your sickness will go away by 14 weeks!

 

[Eryinera]

With a bit of luck x I hope all our scans go well x

 

[Leighwiltshire]

i should be 12 weeks on the 6th november providing my dates are right.

i have a funny taste in my mouth to, nothing tastes nice anymore! i havent had a problem getting fluid in my its more food due to the nausea im living off ready salted crisps to keep it at bay!

i hope everyone has great scans and all is well with the little jelly beans we all have in our bellys xx

 

[xjdx]

My next scan is 2nd Nov at 12+5, I'm really nervous for all the tests and things. But fingers crossed everything is ok. We usually have a surprise but where going to be organised this time around xx

 

[lisey]

I can't wait to find out what you're all having xx

 

[lisey]

I went to prem clinic earlier to check cervix. Midwife wanted to be on the safe side as she said the miscarriages can cause weakness. All good. Cervix very long and got a quick sneak peek at baby. Really quick though and she was in an awkward position.
I thought I was feeling a little better today but oh no, it's hit me this afternoon, feel so sick, dizzy and weak. Have doctors on Wednesday for a review for sick note. I think I will be signed off longer for sure xx

 

[snowbee]

I've not been sick at all but I have been weird with food. I'm either really hungry or not at all and what I want to eat is really random and totally inconsistent! Some days I've just wanted salted crisps (weird as I don't usually like them plus I don't usually eat potato as my body can't process it), other days it has been fruit and melon in particular, other days it is sweets (again unusual as we don't generally have sweets in the house ever, I've had to go out shopping specially!), then I had the milkshake phase...

Even if our scan is good news we won't be telling just yet. My husband wants to tell my parents in person, so as they live a long way away we are next due to see them at Christmas, so we will have to invent a trip before then. Until we have told them we can't tell my FIL as he is the biggest gossip about and everyone will know!

 

[snowbee]

Also today my jeans are too tight. I think it is due to my awful diet the last few weeks rather than bumpage!

 

[lisey]

Could be bumpage. All my apps say you will notice a little podge around tum now. I am massive for 12 weeks xx

 

[nikkix86]

[Emily0505]

3 sleeps until scan day for me.

Been sick twice today too!

Found out one of the girls I work with is also pregnant! She only just found out though, so still very early so for now it's our little secret! I told her I was too, then panicked that is jinxed runs and jumped on the Doppler as soon as I got home! Lol!

Little heart beating away still

Snowbee- My diet has gone to hell since week 5. I had a fab high protein diet, all carbs in morning and afternoon and never ate junk. Now I'm all about carbs. Potatoes and me don't usually get on, but I have been eating chips and crisps. I even started eating pizza regularly, although I did try to alway buy the healthiest options. The only thing I miss is coffee. I can't even stand the smell of it. I'm hoping I can get my diet back on track during the 2nd trimester. I struggled all weekend with food because most of the options at the hotel for breakfast I could eat- completely gone off eggs & really wanted french toast, but no luck. Then the meal for the wedding was ordered months ago, so I half ate the food, except for dessert, the toffee sticky pudding was delightful!

We really wanted to tell m in-laws in person, but flights are too expensive for a last minute trip, and with the long drive from the airport to their place, I just can face that car ride, not for just a weekend. And I'm not waiting until xmas, so we are going to skype them after the scan.

I do have a small bump now. Whilst I still do get some bloating, the bump is now there without the bloat. The dress I bought for the wedding this weekend was a size up to allow for bloat on top of the bump and to hide the bump a bit. I'm still good with my low-rise jeans, but my mid-rise trouser have to be unbuttoned, especially when sitting down.

Only 2 more sleeps! Listened to the hb as soon as I got home today. It really helped after that long uncomfortable journey with a diversion to make it even longer. I still can't believe how easy it is to find.

I'm still working on my DW as she doesn't want to find out the gender. I really want to know. I like to plan and I want to be able to refer the baby as he or she.

Looking forward to hearing about how everyone else gets on after their scans. I can't wait to hear what everyone is having. That 2nd trimester is creeping ever closer! Bring it on!

 

[Eryinera]

I've has over 1l of orange today. And I'm still gagging for more just sent hubby to the shop as I can't wait til tomorrow when I have 4l of the stuff arriving. I think bumps are beginning to show for us all. I showed my best friend a pic of my bump coz I've not seen her in ages and the first thing she said was "despite your bump haven't you lost weight!" So looks like the sickness has done something at least lol. I don't know how our ancestors did pregnancy without the scans and things. I'm panicking to high heaven I'm googling stats all the time some days I'm like yay all those good stories then I have a day of oh no its all disastrous!! I don't know why I do it! No more blood today (no more BM either lol) if I hadn't of checked I wouldn't have known. the sickness is still here the boobies are still sore... I wish I had a doppler but I'm not sure if that would worry me more! Ohhhh wish I could see in there or wish we could feel them already!

Apple juice is my thirst quencher. My husband thinks it's because my body is missing cider! Xx

 

[lisey]

I can't drink anything acidic. Gives me indegestion. Mostly drink water, yuk!! Xx

 

[kabuk1]

I mostly drink water too. My tastebuds love orange and apple juice, but my stomach can't always handle it, especially the orange juice. I was craving it this morning, but after a few sips my stomach turned.

Still feeling aching, my head is congested and my throat is still sore, so I'll be ringing my GP in the morning. I just want to make sure things aren't going to get worse and that there is no infection. I'm prone to sinus infections. At least there is no fever, although I'm sure I had one last night with all the chills I had. Took paracetamol last night just in case. Haven't taken anything today, just sipping on water and decaf tea with honey.
