Hi ladies, hope you’re all ok.

Welcome gingerkitty, congratulations!

Linx, I hope your back is feeling a bit better now? Rest up as much as you can.

I’ve been being sick again today, not much but I feel awful. Hoping to get a date for my booking appointment this week, I really just want something to happen!!

Oh God Iv sneezed and pulled Mt back more, been up on and off all night. Even had tissue up my nose so I could sleep. And iv had to run to the toilet balking this morning but nothing came up!
I'm actually falling apart!
How's every one else?

 

[Piglet30]

Surviving. Bit gassy and have constipation followed by the runs off and on but not too bad. I feel a bit ‘off’ but not sick at all which is good. Sorry to hear you are suffering.

Congratulations, GingerKitty!

I'm feeling better after a shower and washing my hair, but honestly I'm struggling a lot. Last night I was up again with diarrhoea and I'm struggling to figure out if it's a wheat intolerance or pregnancy related as it comes and goes. It's really really annoying because it's mostly at night I started trying to go gluten free a few months ago but being a vegetarian makes this really tricky sometimes...

OH is on nights tonight and tomorrow so the next few days are a write off in regards to cleaning but this place is a messsssss.

Update.
You know it's a long day when you resort to making play dough in an effort to keep your (very tiny amount) of sanity.

 

[Piglet30]

Early scan booked for 8 weeks. Oct 9th. Seems a looooonnnnng way away.

 

[firstfreakout]

Ah, Piglet, it's only 3 weeks! It'll fly by!
No but seriously, I know what you mean though about it seeming like forever. It's weird because when you're pregnant it feels like time is taking forever to pass, but when you look back on it afterwards you realise it was just a blip in your timeline. How bizarre!

I found out about my pregnancy at 3 weeks. I'm now just over 7 weeks and it feels like forever ago. My friend was even saying that she thought I was reaching my second tri by now!

 

[Piglet30]

I just want to tell random people on the street that I’m pregnant. At the moment just me, husband and best friend are in the know and I feel like i’m lying all the time to everyone else.

Take this Friday for example, it’s my birthday at the weekend and I’m having a pizza, wine and hot tub party with all my mummy friends (who all have children DS’s age). I’m going to have to dodge out to the kitchen to top up my glass with shloer so nobody glugs wine into it (the yummy mummies are a thirsty lot and anyone with less than half a glass gets a top up if they want it or not!), then I have to dodge the perils of the hot tub - I have set it down to 37.5 rather than the usual 39 and I hope everyone else is too sloshed to notice it is warm rather than roasting, next the inevitable shots will be lined up - cue toilet trip and then, what’s worse, is the ‘whose hangover is worst’ come Saturday morning messenger conversations. At least the pizza is risk free........

Also, I’m a teacher and the activities organiser is like ‘right, an I put you down for the residential trip at the end of April and the one in May?’ And I have to be like ‘yeah, sure, put me down’ as I can hardly say ‘sorry, I’ll be too fat to supervise hoards on small children 40ft up a climbing wall or potholong in a teeny tunnel 3 hours from civilisation let alone labour ward’

Hey everyone. Got my early scan today due to spotting. Good news is there’s been no more spotting and woke up this morning to killer morning sickness. I’m feeling positive.

Bless you Piglet. Keeping secrets is hard but will be worth it once you can tell them then wind them up about how easy it was to pull the wool over their eyes.

 

[ABC237]

Good luck for your scan lollypop.

Piglet, I know it’s so hard not telling people. I have actually told a few people now because I just can’t help it!

I’m going to the GP in a bit. I’ve woken up feeling really shaky and my urine smells like ketones so going to get them to dip it. I’m not worried about me, just want someone to tell me it won’t affect the baby. Hubby is here and I think he thinks I’m being dramatic. Oh wel! I’d just rather be safe than sorry.

[Piglet30]

What do ketones smell like?

 

[ABC237]

It’s like a really distinct sweet smell. Some people say it smells like pear drops but I don’t smell that. I only know because I work in a medical job and I’m used to smelling it. I probably sound really weird saying this! ��

 

[Piglet30]

wishnthe men in my household’s wee smelt like pear drops....(except for the medical connotations of that of course). I could walk into my ensuite and think ‘mmmm, pear drops’ rather than ‘uughhhh...how has my little boy managed to sprinkle the walls again!’


On another note.........anyone DTD much since finding out you are pregnant? Poor husband has been gagging for it as I really haven’t felt like it for a week or so. Was coaxed into sexy mode last night but then spent ages worrying he’d bumped the baby out of place as I had a tiny tinge of pink in the ‘after dribble’! It’s fine now though, I think my cervix was just a little sensitive.

Piglet! I have a weim too! Just saw your picture!

 

[Piglet30]

Piglet! I have a weim too! Just saw your picture!

That’s Heidi. She belongs to my brother really but is still one of the pack. The orange and white cocker is Hero and she is mum to the fluffy creature that looks like a ball of cotton-wool on a humid day. His name is Aslan.

Is your Weimaraner too intelligent for its own good too? Heidi always thinks of mischief but Aslan and Hero don’t have the brain power to do anything but what you tell them to.

 

[Lollypop79]

Weim’s Are beautiful dogs but a handful so i’m told. Love the name aslan x

 

[Lou1103]

She’s very switched on lol. She’s an angel now tbh, she’s 6 so she’s grown up lol she was harder to handle when she was a pup!
Aslan is a brilliant name!! X

 

[keeptrying14]

I’m off to gynae for fluid rehydration I’m so sick I can barely walk x

I wasn't planning on telling work for awhile but i think i will have to bite the bullet. I work in a care home and have to wheel patients around in wheelchairs and felt abit sore after work yesterday which has worried me.
