**May Mummies**

[soffphie]

I've been dieting for a few years prior to getting my bfp, only have around 1200 cals a day and excercise around 6 times per week. Midwife doesn't want me to up my calories at all as I have previously lost ten stone and she doesn't want me to pile it back on she does want me to cut the excercise down to 3 times per week maximum though and give up running and weightlifting. GP thinks different though, says I should be eating recommended and excercise as much as I want ans not give anything up. So who knows? MW is trying to contact dietitian for their views on it though because of the previous weight loss xx

Its so confusing isnt it??
I have upped my calories but i still "burn" calories if ya get me.. so ??
Defo wanna keep sugar cut down. But bodies being a pain!! Really need ideas for snacks!! Lol

I'm just eating basic, and no snacking. Just trying to be better. I think once I have my next scan on Tues I'll be a bit more relaxed. I'm overthinking it all.

I'm still bleeding, mix between fresh and brown. So that's nearly 3 weeks. Duno when it will ever stop!

hope it goes away soon. I've just started cramping and it's not just achey it's quite painful but I know the docs cant really do anything so I'm not sure what to do :/ just hoping it passes

spoken to the midwife, I’ll be consultant led due to miscarriages.

My friend is consultant led and she gets more appointments and more scans. More chances to see the little one.

Have you spoken to midwife? Could it be UTI?

 

[SugaryIris]

That’s good, I’m 9 weeks today and my nausea has massively decreased over the past few days, I was being sick 1-2 times a day but yesterday only felt a bit nauseous and it was less regular and this morning I don’t feel nauseous at all really and this should be peak time before breakfast I know symptoms come and go but I’m scared something is wrong with our little bean, after our losses I never thought we’d make it to 12 weeks and now I feel like that could be a reality

 

[Charlotte9]

I am trying to eat healthy but it causes me heartburn. With my first pregnancy midwife told me heartburn is caused by hormones and meds won't help. She said its easier to digest cooked food (boiled potatoes) than fresh salad. So I can't eat cucumbers, tomatoes, nothing. Only cooked meals. Have you girls got any cravings?

@SugaryIris
Symptoms come and go. I completely understand you. Im the same. Feeling happier when Im nauseous and got a back pain. Symptoms will be back very soon and you will feel better. Have you had any scans yet? x

I posted about this the other day, only symptoms I had was sore nipples which disappeared and then had wicked pains in my pelvis not cramping like I've been having all along but really painful pains. Lasted the whole day for me ans now the cramping is back again. Hope it passes soon, so scary isnt it xx

Yes I had one at 7 weeks because I just didn’t believe I was pregnant, all was ok so I know the chances of something going wrong are massively reduced. But that was two weeks ago and I’ve got 2 and a half until my 12 week scan so I’m just waiting now. I wish I could just sit back and enjoy the good days!

I’m not surprised you’re cramping! I’m cramping too, and it seems to have increased a bit this week so I think must be growing but your uterus is stretching doubly as fast to make room for two!

@SugaryIris nothings ever certain but ive read online once you get to 8 weeks your chance of successful pregnancy is v v high 98% or something? Prob why i didnt quite get there with other one
Im not sure how my pregnancy will play out but it looks like i also am getting a scan every 2 weeks! Saves me ££! Haha.

My symptoms r v coming n going. I have more then old pregnancy which im glad for. Waking up daily sore nippes now. Last spelt of nausea wos Tue night but it was v v bad. Some tummy issues if ya get me, tmi! Lol & food things starting to become a issue as is being nax again.

No cravings @Charlotte9 not really.. had 1 day of v strong sugar cravings and caved.

Im also really sad this morning i realised i may only have 2 weeks left with this one. I really hope thats not case but it could be couldnt it.
I was working stod out in freezing rain like ice freezing and remembered the last time i was pregnant something similar happened at same point in pregnancy and i got panicy and sad as i thought i was ganna kill it again, i then had to push bloody wheelchair up ramp to house cause we got a stuck up parent who thinks everyone runs around them & that they r only ones ever to own a house (lol). And again pressure to push it up ramp and freezing rain. I got really panicy then i saw a rainbow and hoped it was a sign its ok!!

I'm not sure what to say about your job? If you hate it that much maybe it's time for a change?
Surely if you have to move heavy objects you should have a risk assessment when your PG?

I'm not sure how mines going to pan out at the moment. Usually the violence levels are minimal but we have a patient who is becoming increasingly physically violent towards us, hitting, kicking, punching, biting staff and other patients. Of course these things do happen on a psych ward occasionally but usually can be de-escelated fairly easily. However this patient has been horrendous last few weeks and even punched me a few days ago completely unprovoked when I was doing hourly checks, luckily it was only my shoulder but literally came out of nowhere which is unusual, they are very unwell at the moment and completely unpredictable.

Haven't had chance to catch my manager yet to tell them I'm PG but I'm assuming I'm going to need a risk assessment especially in regards to patient. Not sure what their going to be able to do though as their behaviour is not predictable at all, not like a usual situation where you can recognize when a situation is heading in that direction and then you can respond appropriately. Its literally out of nowhere. And it's not like I can afford to give up my job so not sure what's going to happen when I tell them xx

Hi yeh i informed them monday i was pregnant but nothings been said or acted on yet... Reminds me of last time where behind my back they was apparently saying plenty of people cope when pregnant... Thats prob true but fact is i work on worst route going with 4 heavy wheelchairs (16 yr olds) no one else has as bad of a route as me & lady i work with. Thats a fact.
My dr told me not to do it. :/ But like i said such a worry of kicking up a fuss for it to die again and then look like a idiot ya know?
Sounds like youll also need a risk assessment.. asap.
Yeh i dont hate job per say, bit rash anger rage there haha but i hate way they are treating me in this situation (again!) Cant wait to go on maternity (already, lol!)

Definitely would say you need to tell your boss, imagine if they punched you in the stomache? Or something worse? I hope they can sort something out xx

Hi ladies. Thought I would check in. I am away with work at the moment. Still bleeding, only had two bouts of fresh and been clearly brown the rest of the time. I panicked when i had the last bit of red and phoned my consultant. She told me to try and get hold of some progesterone whilst away and give it a go...which I have. Taking pessaries twice a day, they are so messy! Bleeding still there a little bit but all brown and to be honest it’s very light and mixed now up with the cream from the pessaries. Sorry TMI. Anyway I am booked in for a scan on Thursday afternoon as soon as I am back. The only symptom I had was sore boobs and that has been coming and going. Today it’s barely there at all. The wait until Thursday is going to be haaaaa

Last bit was meant to say haaaaard!!

I really hope so. It's so uncomfortable to do almost anything currently and my gut is so sore constantly, I'm not sure if I need to cut gluten, dairy or what but my body isnt processing things well all of a sudden and I'm so gassy is horrible. My girl is horrified and my partner is coming to stay next week for a couple of days.. we haven't seen each other since August so I don't want to be like this with him here :/

Really hope things settle down at work for you, that's got to be a little scary. Hope your looking after yourself and getting enough rest x

All your symptoms sound like mine. Fingers crossed all goes well on Thursday. Are you out of the country just now?
