I know how you feel Before I got pregnant I went to the gym twice a week and got a walk in to and from the stations to work every day. Now we’re not even allowed to go to the gym.

I had lofty aspirations that I’d be very fit during pregnancy and still gym and swim and walk lots...

There’s still time for us Lockdown won’t be forever!

Yeah I know, I just think it's a mixture of emotions. I have a every active job so from that to doing pretty much nothing I'm struggling with. Sometimes my only relief from the sickness is to eat and when the kitchen is just there and I don't have work to distract me. Maybe it's just bloating but I look 6 months pregnant already xx

A few weeks ago I was crazy bloated, but it did settle right down for me.

I miss the gym, I remember looking up a prenatal yoga class just after I found out I was pregnant. I don't think there will be any of that now.

With all this time at home there are so many good prenatal workout videos we could be doing. But its just not the same is it?

Anyone started doing pelvic floor exercises?

@EmilyMaria what a beautiful scan photo!!!

R.e. exercise - I used to run at least 3 times a week but I get bad hips in pregnancy so I've stopped to protect them as long as I can (although I wouldn't be able to run if I wanted too with the sickness) so I'm not looking forward to the return to fitness after baby is born!!

Pelvic floor exercises: I do them whenever someone mentions them and I remember

I did pregnancy yoga with my daughter in 2nd trimester so may look for videos for that on YouTube but she don't know yet so will only be able to do it when she is at her dad's.

I do pelvic floor exercises when I remember, which is not very often i should do them more, my daughter really damaged mine so I need to do them more regularly to be honest. I do keep having dreams about miscarriaging lately but maybe that's just my self conscious messing with me. Sickness is a bit better I don't feel sick to my stomach as I used too but somethings are still making me gag xx

So far this pregnancy all I have done is gentle walking. I'm just starting to feel a bit better so I'm really keen to get back into a bit of strength training at home and incorporate some yoga.

I've had one dream about a miscarriage about a week ago. I think maybe it was nerves leading up to the scan. It was a very vivid dream and really scary. I don't have any real reason to be worried, but I have not been pregnant before so even now at 12 weeks I still get that 'am I really pregnant?' thought in my head.

I've been doing some walking, glad it's cooled down a bit as the heat was really affecting me this time round.

I've just put my dreams down to experiencing 2 losses before and got my scan next Monday and the fear of been told that there is no heartbeat is weighting on my mind. Why can't we just enjoy our pregnancies instead of worrying our selves sick  xx

Hi guys, I posted last week about being worried about having no symptoms. They have definetly almost all gone now, I just have slightly sore boobs in the morning. No neasea, headaches, food aversion or tiredness. I do not feel the same I have felt the past 5/6 weeks. I have seen everyone says they come and go, how long should I leave it before following up? I am finding the balance between worry and responsive difficult as I am not usually one to make any fuss. I have a 10 week scan next Monday, should I just wait and see?
Sorry if you all think I am annoying ‍

Yeah you maybe one of the lucky ones. Unfortunately unless you have been bleeding or having any signs of miscarriage they won't scan you or they will say wait till your scan next Monday. It's hard cause everyone is different, evert pregnancy is different. I feel a lot better this time round then when I did with my daughter which has brought on anxieties as well. I have found I have felt a lot better as time has gone on. I know it's easier said then done as I'm the same but try and remain positive xx

I completely understand, even with symptoms I find myself questioning every little thing. I think feeling worried is very normal. Everyone seems to have such a different experience, it is completely possible that you are just not experiencing the typical pregnancy symptoms.

That being said having a phone call to your midwife might put your mind at ease, so it could be worth doing just for peace if mind.

Its so frustrating, trimester 1 is such a waiting game. I'm trying to enjoy it but its very difficult until you get that reassurance of seeing bub on a screen.

@EmilyMaria thanks for replying. I have had alot of symptoms right up until last week so I guess if I had been one of the lucky ones with none I wouldn't be worrying. The MW is not back untill tomorrow so will give her a call then. Hopefully it's just a strange week of no symptoms xx

 

[EmilyMaria]

I hope that you are just experiencing fluctuations in your symptoms, or maybe they are just settling down as you approach the end of trimester 1. Best of luck, fingers crossed for you.

@CrazyChic thanks for replying. My last pregnancy I had a MMC and no bleeding for almost 5 weeks after baby stopped at 8 or 9 weeks. I had a loss of symptoms last time I just ignored. My head is mince... Gonna go for a walk and stop thinking!!!

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. I can completely understand your anxieties. Maybe when you speak to the medwife explain your anxiety from your previous MMC is getting the better of you and maybe they can move your scan forward xx

 

[SockVortex]

Sorry you’re going through this @Cmacq I hope the call with the midwife helps you feel better. I think CrazyChic’s suggestion is a good idea.

After half an hour doing all of the dusting I am now exhausted on the sofa whilst my husband does the hoovering. Good job we have a small flat!

Hi, hope that everyone is ok. I've been quiet for a few weeks due to sickness luckily the drs prescribed me some cyclizine which has made it more manageable.
I have my booking appointment tomorrow, it's all starting to get very real!

I'm off to see my midwife today to collect my notes and have my blood taken etc. I've actually done my hair properly for the first time in about six weeks and will be putting makeup on and wearing my contact lenses, haha. What a strange experience!
