I'm still poorly. I'm cold and shivery. Every time I eat I get indigestion
And I keep feeling sick.

Thanks for the tip keeptrying. Are you any better? Have work been ok with you? I’m struggling with massive pressure to go in. It’s an added stress that I could really do without.

Linx are you poorly linked to the pain you had? Did they investigate further than the scan? If you’re cold/shivery do you have a fever? These early days ate so rubbish.

I was one of those women that sailed through my first 2 pregnancies but I now understand how bad it can be and I 100% feel for anyone in early pregnancy. You really can’t underatand just how debilitating it is until you go through it!

God I sound so dramatic!!

Hi Everyone , thought I ‘ll introduce myself as I have been reading the thread for a while but wanted to wait a bit before posting.
I had my BFP i on 8th Sept , I was in shock for week but starting to asimilate it better . Had another test today , it says 3+ . I am trying to figure out the due date but I do not know the date of my last period ( with my 11 months old I am lucky if I know which day we are ). I kinda remember the conception date so based on it due date should be 20th May.
Today it just hit me- I have been nauseous all day and had sharp pains . I am really scared to have 2 under 2 but this forum helped me massivly with my son And I am sure will be the same this time round .
Happy pregnancies to all xx

Welcome Allysa151 and congratulations! I will have 2 under 2 as well as I already have a 14 month old little girl I’ve not really thought about it if I’m honest haha xx

The pains seem to have gone now just the odd one. My back still twinges bit.
I did have a temp yesterday. Paracetamol sorted it out a bit.

This morning I seem a bit better (for now)

Morning sickeness has started but no where near as bad as what i had with my youngest.
I couldn't even think about food with out being sick and that lasted till he was born. Just feel nausea and sick in the evenings so if this keeps up then i will be happy.

 

[firstfreakout]

Welcome and congratulations to Holsf and Allysa!

Sorry to hear some of you guys are still feeling so rough. I hope it passes soon as we get through our first trimester
I'm feeling really down today - I'm going to update my pregnancy journal on here about it though, as I don't want to bring the thread down! But basically really struggling with DS and my weight at the moment, as well as my short temper. I'm not a delight to be around at the moment...

That’s bad work is making you feel like that did you get signed off last week? Will dr do it again? I’m self employed which in some ways is good but the office is struggling without me and I feel really responsible just a shitty time really.

I hope ur ok first freak out? Big hugs.

Congrats on all the new bfps. I hope u r all getting through tri one okish!!

 

[ABC237]

Congratulations new ladies and welcome!

Linx, glad your a bit better, hope it continues.

Keeptrying, I self certified for last week. Will see GP this week if I still need to be off. I know when to draw the line and look after myself so I’ll be ok. I’m really lucky as hubby is looking after us all really well, whilst I’m pretty useless at the moment.

Firstfreakout, hope you’re ok. If you need to talk about it then do. Thinking of you xx

 

[ABC237]

Has anyone got any cravings?? I really want a Nando’s double chicken wrap!!! I’d probably feel too sick when faced with one though!

 

[Aurora_J]

Im craving Kfc. I haven't had one since i was pregnant with Riley but i really want some.

So DS woke up at 5am AGAIN today. I honestly really don't know how I'm going to cope dealing with him and a newborn that needs feeding every 2-3 hours. I'm so exhausted and angry all the time I feel like a really shit mother right now.

I've got the health visitor coming this afternoon during his nap time and all I want to tell her is that I've spent the last 5 weeks really regretting this decision.

I'm sorry I'm being so negative on here or not appreciating how lucky I am. I know it's awful

Don’t feel bad at all I get it I’m in bed again crying as I feel like I’m a failure letting everyone down I want to go back to feeling how I did before pregnancy not how I feel now. I think 3 kids is to many now and can’t imagine what it will be like with a newborn. I know that doesn’t help you but atleast ur not alone in feeling like that xx

Don't beat yourself up, sounds like you are so tired you don't know what you are doing anymore, and with the added energy draining of growing a baby its tough work.

Is there anyway someone can look after DS while you get a bit of a recharge?

I often wonder how I will cope with two and sleep, and I'm terrible on lack of sleep, but it's not forever and i just need to remember to ask for help rather than try and be supermum.

Hope you feel a bit better soon xxx

I totally feel for you. My son wakes up every morning 5-6ish, tryied to put him later to bed but made no difference ! I was a melt down yesterday how am I going to cope with a newborn and DS .. also feel that my husband doesn't understand what this involves, he is just over the moon that we are having another baby but I will have to carry all the weight on my shoulders.
You are definitely not a shit mom don't say that , you should see how angry and short tempered I am sometimes haha. We're just all moms doing the best we can x

 

[linxminx21]

I'm also in denial that I'm going to have a baby and 2 other kids I think..

Sometimes I think how do i cope with the two I have, without adding a newborn to the mix. My two argue like crazy most of the time. I think it's the age gap (6 yrs)
And now I'll have an even bigger age gap with this one and the youngest! (7.5 yrs)

I also said I wish I could Just feel normal for a day.
I'm full of snot, have bad headache, pre natal tablets make me worse so I'm just taking folic acid atm.
So that's making me feel crap.
I'm dehydrated but everytime i eat or drink something I'm having to go to the toilet for a number 2!

 

[linxminx21]

Oh God... I either have a tummy bug or this baby is making my bowels work extra fast!

 

[firstfreakout]

It is SUCH a relief to know I'm not going insane, although it definitely feels like it most days. I'm sorry you guys are going through similar emotions right now. It's horrible and I wouldn't wish it on anybody

I mentioned in the pregnancy journal but I've been referred to the antenatal mental health and a psychiatrist for both managing my PTSD from the last labour and for helping me get through the negative emotions I'm feeling atm. I've also got the GP and the health visitor involved. This makes me feel like I can't cope, but I guess it's true. The PTSD I experienced post labour has really really screwed with me..

I think I need to spend more time out of the house, which is hard when I'm tired and achey all day every day and have a one year old to drag with me!
