I'm still waiting for my new one to arrive. Being stuck in one bra is no fun, haha.

But when you get it... heaven!

Sucks not to be able to go into a change room and try on though. It was the most complicated bra purchase ever

Oh yeah, total guess work! I just hope it fits when it arrives!

Girls I brought some rennie from the shop earlier and oh my goodness it's helped with my bloating so much, I'm still a bit bloated but not as much as I was xx

 

[Jen87]

My scan is on Tuesday eek il be 11w6d! So excited but so nervous too! Was supposed to be the 7th may but they’ve moved it forward x

 

[Natalie8964]

Ten weeks today! My boobs (albeit still a cup size bigger) are now no longer sore. I guess that’s ok? I still threw up brushing my teeth this morning so no letup on the nausea.

Sock I cant believe you're 10 weeks! It feels like yesterday you were saying you were 6 weeks after your scan, time is flying by!

Exciting, can't believe some of us are coming round to our scans xx

By baby size I suppose I’m really 9 weeks but the midwife says we’re still going by the LMP date so I gave up counting backwards haha. Two weeks and five days until the scan! It cannot come fast enough. I need this anxiety to end, haha.

Trust me I know how you feel. Just keep positive, I would talk to my baby/myself everyday and just reaffirm my baby was healthy and growing and I was having a perfect pregnancy. It definitely helped me. You could be surprised, from my temps I ovulated on CD19 so was expecting to measure at least 5 days behind but they put me forward by almost a week!

Same happened to me as Nat. By my ovulation date my DD would of been due 10th November but they dated me 5th November which didn't match up at any of my dates. When I had my scan this time round she dated me back nearly week but im expecting to be told a different date again on Monday. So you never know. Hopefully by then we should be out of lock down and your DH can go with you xx

 

[CharliC]

Still 11 days to my scan, it's dragging sooo much! But I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow so at least time is ticking on slowly.

Hope your all okay!! How's those symptoms treating people now we are in the last few weeks of Tri 1? X

Yeah I'm hoping the little one has caught up and that they tell me I'm at least 12 weeks something on the scan day, haha I talk to the baby lots and D kisses my tummy when he gets the chance and tells the baby he loves him/her which just melts my heart

@Jen87 Exciting about your scan being brought forward! I feel like we need to make a list of scan dates on the front page so we can see who is next. What do you think @CrazyChic ?

As far as I know D is still allowed to be at the scan with me. We haven't been told otherwise as yet so... fingers crossed it stays that way. Not sure I could handle it without him. I'd 100% cry, haha.

@CharliC I'm ok, nausea level is about the same. I'm alright sitting down but its worse when I'm moving around and I still have to psyche myself up to brush my teeth. I don't think it's as bad as week eight or nine though. I wish I felt like food again. I used to love food. I miss the feeling of looking forward to a meal and enjoying every bite. Now I eat just because I know I have to and only eat what I can stomach thinking about without retching, haha.

New symptoms this week are round ligament pains and stretching feelings in my womb, which I guess is all to do with it growing, so... good?

How're you getting on? Eleven weeks! We're all getting so close to tri-two! I can't wait.

Sock i don't want to put a downer on your scan but you should call the hospital or check out their maternity facebook page, or website as you wont necessarily be told that your OH can't come to the scan. They won't call every women that is booked in for a scan, they will just expect you to know due to the knowledge that is in the news.
When i recieved the letter for my 20 week scan, the letter wasn't updated and said 1 person was allowed to attend, when i checked the maternity app page it said under no circumstances are partners or any other family member allowed to attend with you. x

12 weeks five days for me. I was starting to talk big about nausea settling and getting energy back for exercise. Then next thing you know I'm head in the toilet throwing up my toast.

Getting a little bit of pubic discomfort from time to time and boobs are still a bit tender.

I've been getting this for about two weeks. I feel like I've really started to show in the last two weeks too.

Hello everyone, first time posting.
I am 10 weeks pregnant today. Having a bit of a hard time. I struggle with dizziness (a lot) and feeling sick. I am currently at home until Covid-19 calms down.
The general feeling of being run down and just generally feeling crap. Anyone got any tips? Please tell me this gets better?

Hi Kelly, if you are really not feeling well give your midwife a call. It would be a good idea to check your bloodpressure, and blood sugar levels if you feel like this is more than the usual first trimester fatigue.

Other than being sensible, staying well hyrdated, getting plenty of sleep and eating well I dont have any other tips. I have been so tired this whole pregnancy. Hopefully it gets better soon.

Do you have a history of being low in iron?
You could chat to your doc about an iron supplement if you are not already taking one. Particularly if you have been struggling to get good food in.

@SockVortex I have to second this - I checked all the pages I could find and it didnt say anywhere I had to attend alone, it was only when we got to the hospital they told us. I think it's a good idea to can them and check, there might be something they can do for you x

I suppose I can email them. I honestly think I won't go if I'm not allowed D.

Thanks. I have my blood test in a couple of weeks. Can’t currently book any doctors appointment unless an emergency, so guess I will just have to wait
